Pew said the results show an increasing change toward getting news online，but that there is now a fairly large group of betteroff people that use both traditional and online sources to get their news. The Pew researchers referred to these people as integrators (整合者), and said they accounted for 23 percent of those surveyed, spending the most time getting news on a typical day.“Like Net news consumers, integrators are highly educated. However，they are older.” the survey said.Pew found that the largest group of news consumers 46 percent of those surveyed watch television for their news at all times of the day. This group is the oldest，with an average age of 52, with 43 percent unemployed. They are unlikely to own a computer or go online for news.The group that relies most on the Internet for news is the youngest at a median age of 35. It is also the smallest group，at 13 percent of those surveyed. Fewer than half of them watch television news regularly.The survey was conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. It surveyed 3，615 adults by telephone.1We can find this passage most probably Ain a textbookB. in a government reportC. in an advertisementD. on the Internet【解析】推理判断题。本文是一篇关于人们获取新闻方式的调查，根据最后一段“The survey was conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. It surveyed 3，615 adults by telephone.”可知有三千多个成人受到电话调查。此类调查结果最有可能出现在网络上，故选D项。【答案】D2According to the passage, people who like getting news online are A. youngerB. olderC. poorerDricher【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“. younger people tend to get more of their news on the Internet .”可知，年轻人喜欢从网上获取新闻信息，故选A项。【答案】A3According to the passage, Net consumers and integrators A. are mostly old peopleB. have been welleducatedC. also like reading newspapersD. must have their own computers【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“Like Net news consumers, integrators are highly educated. However, they are older.”可知，网络新闻消费者与整合者一样，有着高等学历，年龄却较大，答案为B项。文章中并未提到他们绝大部分都是老人，故排除干扰项A。【答案】B4Whats the best title for this passage?AAdvice on how to choose which media to get news.BMany people get their daily news on the Internet.CTV remains top source of news even as online grows.DDifferences between the Internet and traditional media.【解析】主旨归纳题。本文是一项关于通过上网获取新闻及通过电视获取新闻的人数比例的调查。该调查显示尽管互联网发展迅速，电视仍然是人们最重要的消息来源，故选C项。【答案】CBThe rockets take astronauts and manmade satellites into space. The satellites are used for communication, weather monitoring and research. But how do satellites stay up without falling down?There are two opposite forces acting on the satellite. One of them is the force of gravitation (地心引力), which tries to pull the satellite towards the earth. The other force is created by the rotation (旋转) of the satellite around the earth. This force tries to take the satellite away from the earth. With these two forces, the satellite goes round and round. The gravitational pull of the earth (the force which pulls everything towards the ground)is like a rope which keeps the satellite from flying away.Everything that goes up has to come down. It is only a matter of time before a satellite comes back to the earth. As time goes by，the satellite loses its speed，which makes the gravitational pull stronger than the force pulling it away. This makes the satellite crash (坠落) down to the earth.5The force that pulls the satellite towards the earth is created by A. the earthB. the satellite itselfC. the rotation of the satelliteD. the rope【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“The gravitational pull of the earth .”可知地心引力来自于地球。【答案】A6Why cant the satellites fly away?A. Because of the force from the earth.BBecause the satellite is too big.CBecause of the force created by the rotation of the satellite around the earth.DBecause people on earth have made ropes to tie the satellites tightly.【解析】综合理解题。根据第二段第二句“. tries to pull the satellite towards the earth.”和最后一句“. keeps the satellite from flying away.”可知选A项。【答案】A7The satellite will finally crash down to the earth A. when it flies fasterB. when its speed slows downC. when people cut the ropeD. when there is no electricity in it【解析】细节理解题。根据短文后两句“. loses its speed . crash down to the earth.”可知选B项。【答案】B8Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. There are four forces acting on the satellite.BThe force of gravitation makes the satellite go round and ro
