　　下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最佳选项。
　　第一篇 Political Spins
　　Last week，US White House spokesman Tony Snow sent journalists digging for their dictionaries.He called recent criticism by the former President Bill Clinton” chutzpah"(大胆放肆).With just one sentence，Snow managed to make headlines，a joke and a defense of President George W.Bush.Interestingly, this is how battles are fought and won in US politics-with carefully-worded one-liners(一行字幕新闻)made for TV which often lack substance and clarity(清晰度).
　　"The amount of information that candidates attempt to communicate to people is actually getting smaller and smaller,” said Mark Smith，a political science professor at Cedarville University.This has been accompanied by a changing media environment， Smith said.In 1 968，the average TV or radio sound bite(演讲中的句子或短语)was 48 seconds，according to Smith.In 1996。the average sound bite had shrunk to 8 seconds. Thus，politicians wanting publicity try to make their public communication as quotable as possible.
　　Campaigning politicians also use 30-'second"I V ads and clever campaign slogans to boost their messages.Republican presidential candidate John McCain rides to campaign stops in a bus named the” Straight-Talk Express".Mocking hopes the name will convince voters he plans to tell people the truth—whether it’s in fashion or not.Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton，on the other hand，has chosen the campaign slogan” Let the conversation begin".She hopes www.45sw.com it will help her appear open—minded and friendly.
　　But one—liners，TV ads and campaign slogans all have a single key ingredient： something commonly called political” spin".Brooks Jackson，a former journalist and the current director of the non—partisan(无党派的)website Fact Check.org，calls spin” just a polite word for deception(欺骗)."
　　"I do believe that very often politicians believe their own spin."said Jackson.
　　"Strong partisans suffer from a universal human tendency：They ignore the evidence that would force them into the uncomfortable position of having to change their minds and admit that they were wrong."
　　31. Which statement is NOT true of one-liners?
　　A.They are unclear.
　　B. They contain a lot of information
　　C.They lack substance.
　　D.They are carefully constructed.
　　32 What changed from 1968 to 1996?
　　A. Publicity.
　　B. Information.
　　C. Communication.
　　D. The average sound bite.
　　33. The campaign slogan "Straight-Talk Express" aims at convincing voters that the Presidential candidate is
　　A. honest.
　　B. friendly.
　　C. open-minded.
　　D. warm-hearted.
　　34. According to Brooks Jackson, all campaign slogans are
　　A. attractive.
　　B. impressive.
　　C. deceptive.
　　D. informative.
　　35. Which statement best describes strong partisans?
　　A .They are very funny.
　　B .They are very healthy.
　　C .They are very aggressive.
　　D .They are very stubborn (顽固的).
　　第二篇A Tale of Scottish Rural Life
　　Lewis Grassic Gibbon's Sunset Song (1932) was voted "the best Scottish novel of all time" by Scotland's reading public in 2005. Once considered shocking for its frankdescription of aspects of the lives of Scotland's poor rural farmers, it has been adapted for stage, film, TV and radio in recent decades.
　　The novel is set on the fictional estate of Kin Addie, in the farming country of the Scottish northwest in the years up to and beyond World War I. At its heart is the story of Chris, who is both part of the community and a little outside it.
　　Grassic Gibbon gives us the most detailed and intimate account of the life of hisheroine (女主人公). We watch her grow through a childhood dominated by her cruel buthard-working father; experience tragedy (her mother's suicide and murder of her twinchildren); and learn about her feelings as she grows into a woman. We see her marrylose her husband, then marry again. Chris has seemed so convincing a figure to somefemale readers that they cannot believe that she is the creation of a man.
　　But it would be misleading to suggest that this book is just about Chris. It is truly a novel of a place and its people. Its opening section tells of Kin Addie’s long history, in a language that imitates the place's changing, patterns of speech and writing.
　　The story itself is amazingly full of characters and incidents. It is told from Chris' point of view but also from that of the gossiping community, a community where everybody knows everybody else's business and nothing is ever forgotten.
　　Sunset Song has a social theme too. It is concerned with what Grassic G www.45sw.com ibbon
　　perceives as the destruction of traditional Scottish rural life first by modernization and then by World War I. Gibbon tried hard to show how certain characters resist the war. Despite this, the war takes the young men away, a number of them to their deaths. In particular, it takes away Chris' husband, Evan Avondale. The war finally kills Evan, but not in the way his widow is told. In fact, the Germans aren't responsible for his death, but his own side. He is shot because he is said to have run away from a battle.
　　If the novel is about the end of one way of life, it also looks ahead. It is a "Sunset Song" but is concerned too with the new Kin Addie, indeed of the new European world. Grassic Gibbon went on to publish two other novels about the place that continue its story.
　　36. What is Sunset Song mainly about?
　　A.The First World War.
　　B.The beauty of the sunset.
　　C.The new European world.
　　D.The lives of rural Scottish farmers
　　37. Which statement is NOT true of Chris?
　　A.She is the heroine of Sunset Song
　　B.She had a miserable childhood.
　　C.She is the creation of a man.
　　D.She married only once.
　　38. What is the opening section of the novel mainly concerned with?
　　A.The climate of Kinraddie.
　　B.The history of Kinraddie.
　　C.The geography of Kinraddie.
　　D.The language spoken in Kinraddie.
　　39. Who killed Chris' husband, Ewan?
　　A.His own troops.
　　B.The French army.
　　C.The Germans.
　　D.The Russian soldiers.
　　40. The word "Sunset" in the title of this novel most probably means
　　A. the end of the heroine's life.
　　B.the end of the story.
　　C. the end of the traditional way of life.
　　D. the end of the day.
　　第三篇Centers of the Great European Cities
　　The centers of the great cities of Europe are meeting places by tradition．People gather there to drink coffee and chat late into the night．A mixture of locals and tourists make for an exciting，metropolitan(大都市的)atmosphere．
　　Squares，plazas(广场)and arcades(拱廊)form the heart of Europe’s cities．
　　Venice、in Italy has the Piazza San Marco—a beautiful square surrounded by shops， churches，restaurants and cafes。In Barcelona，Spain，La Becquerel is a lively market with hundreds of stalls selling all kinds of goods．London’S Covent Garden is filled with fruit and vegetable stalls by day and musicians，acrobats(杂技演员)and artists by night．The government buildings at the center of many cities often are architecturally impressive In London，they serve as a beautiful backdrop(背景)to the coffee tables that line the streets and the banks of the Thames．
　　These vibrant(有活力的)hearts are the product of centuries of evolution，social historian Joel Garreau told US News and World Report recently．"The reason people think Venice is SO great today is you don't see all the mistakes，"said Girardeau．"Those have all been removed．"Most European cities were laid out before the invention of the car. SO bars，restaurants and cafes were near to people’S homes．Today，the focus of many Europeans’ life has moved away from the centers．They live in www.45sw.com the suburbs and outskirts. driving to supermarkets to get their supplies．But on a continent where people treasure convention，there are still those who hold onto traditional ways，living and shopping locally．These people，together with tourists，provide the city centers with their reason for existence．
　　Coffee culture plays a part in keeping these city centers flourishing. This is particularly true of Paris whose citizens are famous enthusiastic conversationalists．This skill is developed over many hours spent chatting over espressos(浓咖啡)and cigarettes．
　　Religion also plays a role in developing sociable atmosphere．People in Roman Catholic countries used to visit the Church on an almost daily basis．Entire communities would gather in the same building and then move out to the markets．cafes and bars in the surrounding streets．An enormous example of this relationship between church and society is the Cuomo．The huge marble cathedral in Florence，Italy is surrounded by bakeries and coffee shops，and caters(迎合)not only to the tourist crowds，but also the local community.
