第1题：
What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the current newspaper business?
A．Distinctiveness is an essential featrue of newspapers.
B．Completeness is to blame for the failure of newspaper.
C．Foreign bureaus play a crucial role in the newspaper business.
D．Readers have lost their interest in car and film reviews.
正确答案：A
解析：推理题。题干的newspaper在原文最后一段每句都有对应。因此没有明确的定位点，考点是infer表暗示，因此需要分析段落结构做出推理。第一句含义 席卷报业的漩涡伤害了每个人，但是多数伤害集中在报纸中缺少特色的版面 -
第2题：
Text 2 Whatever happened to the death of newspaper?A year ago the end seemed near.The recession threatened to remove the advertising and readers that had not already fled to the Internet.Newspapers like the San Francisco Chronicle were chronicling their own doom.America's Federal Trade Commission launched a round of talks about how to save newspapers.Should they become charitable corporations?Should the state subsidize them?It will hold another meeting soon.But the discussions now seem out of date.In much of the world there is little sign of crisis.German and Brazilian papers have shrugged off the recession.Even American newspapers,which inhabit the most troubled corner of the global industry,have not only survived but often returned to profit.Not the 20%profit margins that were routine a few years ago,but profit all the same.It has not been much fun.Many papers stayed afloat by pushing journalists overboard.The American Society of News Editors reckons that 13,500 newsroom jobs have gone since 2007.Readers are paying more for slimmer products.Some papers even had the nerve to refuse delivery to distant suburbs.Yet these desperate measures have proved the right ones and,sadly for many journalists,they can be pushed further.Newspapers are becoming more balanced businesses,with a healthier mix of revenues from readers and advertisers.American papers have long been highly unusual in their reliance on ads.Fully 87%of their revenues came from advertising in 2008,according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation&Development（OECD）.In Japan the proportion is 35%.Not surprisingly,Japanese newspapers are much more stable.The whirlwind that swept through newsrooms harmed everybody,but much of the damage has been concentrated in areas where newspapers are least distinctive.Car and film reviewers have gone.So have science and general business reporters.Foreign bureaus have been savagely cut off.Newspapers are less complete as a result.But completeness is no longer a virtue in the newspaper business.
What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the current newspaper business?A.Distinctiveness is an essential feature of newspapers.
B.Completeness is to blame for the failure of newspaper.
C.Foreign bureaus play a crucial role in the newspaper business.
D.Readers have lost their interest in car and film reviews.答案：A解析：推理题【命题思路】这是一道封闭式推理题，需要锁定和理解文章末段的具体信息，从而推理得出答案。【直击答案】根据最后一段首句but后内容可知“受创最严重的是报社中最不具特色的领域”，即特色性很重要，因此A项正确。【干扰排除】由末段倒数第二句“Newspapers…result.”可知完整性是报业的结果而不是报业失败的原因，B项属于因果倒置，故错误。句子“Foreign bureaus have been savagely cut off.”并未提及驻外机构在报业中起到什么作用，C项属于无中生有，故不选。由句子“Car and film reviewers have gone”可知“汽车和电影的评论员已消失。”从中无法得知读者对其失去兴趣，D项属于过度推理，不选。 -

第14题：
It can be inferred from the passage that( )A.Dickens’s hatred toward London grew with his age
B.Dickens ’s works contributed to some of the changes of London
C.Dickens liked to portray only the dark sides of London
D.Dickens，a social reformer，was devoted to the changes of London答案：B解析：推断题。A项“狄更斯对于伦敦的怨恨与日俱增”，文章第一段就提到伦敦给予了他许多情感，不只是负面的情感，后文又提到现代人们将其对于伦敦的情感称作是love/hate relationship，所以A项的表述错误。C项“狄更斯只喜欢刻画伦敦的阴暗面”，这一表述过于绝对化，所以很显然也是错误的，文章最后几段就有提到他对于伦敦积极一面的描绘。D项“作为社会改革家，狄更斯致力于伦敦的改变”，这一表述夸大了狄更斯的角色，狄更斯更多是通过自己的小说来关注社会现实，警醒人们积极改善不好的方面，所以D项也排除。B项提到“狄更斯的作品有助于伦敦的一些改善”，这是相对于D项更为客观的表述。 -
