15、e paper. You just need to make clear what you are looking at. "I spend about half an hour reading newspapers every day," said 15-year-old Gao Ming from Beijing. "I'm interested in things happening at school. " School news is just one kind of news story in newspapers. There's also world news: from in

16、ternational problems to pop stars. Read the newspaper carefully, we'll find different types of articles on the pages: News stories － these stories are about events. Reporters try to show all points of a story to help readers understand what happened. Reporters try to speak to as many people as pos

17、sible. They also use pictures and numbers to show the readers that the stories are true. The newspaper Teenagers has lots of news stories on the news page and front page. When we read them, we learn more about the facts, not the writers' ideas. Opinion writing -- opinion writing is usually about so

18、mething happening right now. But it isn't just facts. Here writers add their own opinions to the news. Writers pick only the facts that help back up their ideas. They make readers believe that they are telling the truth. This is usually the kind of story that gets people thinking. Go to "Speak Out"

19、on Page Two for an example of opinion writing in Teenagers. Advertisement -- Don't get happy too early when you read them.

24、to take a vacation without her family? Some women say they need time to be alone. At Mother’s Camp a woman has room to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask,“Mom, what’s for dinner?” No husband will say, “Oh, dear, I can’t find any clean socks.”I

25、n fact almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home. Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job-taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework. In the United States, working wives do about 75% of the

26、housework. Many of their husbands say they want to help. But then they burn the rice or they can’t find the pans. They ask so many questions that their wives decide it is easier to do the job themselves. Some women go to Mother’s Camp just to get a break from housework. For two days they don’t cook

27、, they don’t clean, they don’t look after their children and husbands. What do they do? They enjoy warm, sunny weather, walking, swimming or boating in a clear blue lake and sing songs around the campfire. They relax away from home.

31、amp C.Mothers Relax Away from Home D.Mothers in the US Staggering tasks confronted the people of the United States, North and South, when the Civil War ended. About a million and a half soldiers from both sides had to be demobilized, readjusted to civilian life, and reabsorbed by the deva

32、stated economy. Civil government also had to be put back on a peacetime basis and interference from the military had to be stopped. The desperate plight of the South has eclipsed the fact that reconstruction had to be undertaken also in the North, though less spectacularly. Industries had to adjust

33、to peacetime conditions: factories had to be retooled for civilian needs. Financial problems loomed large in both the North and the South. The national debt had shot up from a modest $565 million in 1861, the year the war started, to nearly $3 billion in 1865, the year the war ended. This was

34、a colossal sum for those days but one that a prudent government could pay. At the same time, war taxes had to be reduced to less burdensome levels. Physical devastation caused by invading armies, chiefly in the South and border states, had to be repaired. This herculean task was ultimately com

35、pleted, but with discouraging slowness. Other important questions needed answering. What would be the future of the four million black people who were freed from slavery? On what basis were the Southern states to be brought back into the Union? What of the Southern leaders, all of whom were liable

36、to charges of treason? One of these leaders. Jefferson Davis, president of the Southern Confederacy, was the subject of an insulting popular Northern song, "Hang Jeff Davis from a Sour Apple Tree." and even children sang it. Davis was temporarily chained in his prison cell during the early days of

37、his two-year imprisonment. But he and the other Southern leaders were finally released, partly because it was unlikely that a jury from Virginia, a Southern Confederate state, would convict them. All the leaders were finally pardoned by President Johnson in1868 in an effort to help reconstruction ef

38、forts proceed with as little bitterness as possible. 41. The word "Staggering" in line 1 is closest in meaning to A. specialized B. confusing C. various D. overwhelming 42. The word "devastated" in line 3 is closest in meaning to A. developing B. ruined C. complicated D. fragile

39、 43. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the damage in the South is correct? A. It was worse than in the North. B. The cost was less than expected. C. It was centered in the border states. D. It was remedied rather quickly. 44. The passage refers to all of the

40、following as necessary steps following the Civil War EXCEPT. A. helping soldiers readjust B. restructuring industry C. returning government to normal D. increasing taxes 45. Which of the following can be inferred from the phrase "…it was unlikely that a jury from Virginia, a Southern Conf

41、ederate state, would convict them" ? A. Virginians felt betrayed by Jefferson Davis. B. A popular song insulted Virginia. C. Virginians were loyal to their leaders. D. All of the Virginia military leaders had been put in chains. Wild Bill Donovan would have loved the Internet. The Americ

42、an spymaster who built the Office of Strategic Services in World War II and later laid the roots for the CIA was fascinated with information. Donovan believed in using whatever tools came to hand in the "great game" of espionage—spying as a "profession." These days the Net, which has already re-made

43、 such everyday pastimes as buying books and sending mail, is reshaping Donovan's vocation as well. The latest revolution isn't simply a matter of gentlemen reading other gentlemen's e-mail. That kind of electronic spying has been going on for decades. In the past three or four years, the World

44、Wide Web has given birth to a whole industry of point-and-click spying. The spooks call it "open-source intelligence," and as the Net grows, it is becoming increasingly influential. In 1995 the CIA held a contest to see who could compile the most data about Burundi. The winner, by a large margin, wa

45、s a tiny Virginia company called Open Source Solutions, whose clear advantage was its mastery of the electronic world. Among the firms making the biggest splash in this new world is Straitford, Inc., a private intelligence-analysis firm based in Austin, Texas. Straitford makes money by selling

46、the results of spying (covering nations from Chile to Russia) to corporations like energy-services firm McDermott International. Many of its predictions are available online at . Straitford president George Friedman says he sees the online world as a kind of mutually reinforcing tool for both i

47、nformation collection and distribution, a spymaster's dream. Last week his firm was busy vacuuming up date bits from the far corners of the world and predicting a crisis in Ukraine. "As soon as that report runs, we'll suddenly get 500 new Internet sign-ups from Ukraine," says Friedman, a former poli

48、tical science professor. "And we'll hear back from some of them." Open-source spying does have its risks, of course, since it can be difficult to tell good information from bad. That's where Straitford earns its keep. Friedman relies on a lean staff of 20 in Austin. Several of his staff members

49、 have military-intelligence backgrounds. He sees the firm's outsider status as the key to its success. Straitford's briefs don't sound like the usual Washington back-and-forthing, whereby agencies avoid dramatic declarations on the chance they might be wrong. Straitford, says Friedman, takes pride i
