It was created in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce, making it the first weekly news magazine in the US. Hadden was co
11、nsidered carefree, liked to tease Luce and saw TIME as important but also fun. That accounted for its heavy coverage of celebrities (including politicians), the entertainment industry, and pop culturecriticized as too light for serious news. It tells the news through people, and for many decades, th
12、e magazines cover depicted a single person. On Haddens death in 1929, Luce became the most important man at TIME and a major figure in the history of 20th-century media.

13、leased shortly after the September 11 attacks on the United States featured a black border to symbolize mourning.

Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere.She even labeled(贴标签 )everything. I always looked for everything. Over time,Kate got neater
20、 and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I ju
21、mped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she qui
22、ckly crawled(爬)under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got s
23、o into my work that I even didnt notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didnt always a

26、 By following time order.27. What might be the best title for the story?A. My Friend Kate B. Hard Work Pays OffC. How to Be Organized D. Learning to Be RoommatesCNo one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo. But a new study suggests they used a little rock n roll. Long-ago
27、builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand, the scientists say.“Technically, I think what theyre proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said.People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And theres no obvious answer. On ave
28、rage, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers fi
29、rst would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand.Evide
30、nce from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way, who led the new study. West said, “I was inspired while watching a television program s
31、howing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction.I thought, Why dont they just try rolling the things?” A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides, he realized. That, he notes, should make a block of stone “a lot easier to roll than a squar
32、e”.So he tried it.He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground.They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily r
33、oll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.West hasnt tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldnt have needed to carry
34、 cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.28. Its widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by .A. rolling them on roads B. pushing them over the sandC. sliding them on smooth paths D. dragging them on some poles29. The underlined part “lubricated the paths” in Paragraph 4
35、means .A. made the paths wet B. made the paths hardC. made the paths wide D. made the paths slippery30. Why is rolling better than sliding according to West?A. Because more force is needed for sliding.B. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.C. Because sliding on smooth roads is more dang
36、erous.D. Because less preparation on paths is needed for rolling.31. What is the text mainly about?A. An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.B. An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.C. An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid
37、 site.D. An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.DBad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and mon
38、itored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking peoples e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The if it bleeds rule works for mass media, ” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the Univ
39、ersity of Pennsylvania. “They want your eyeballs and dont care how youre feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You dont want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communicatione-mails, Web posts and reviews,
40、face-to-face conversationsfound that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didnt necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger look
41、ed at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “ most e-mailed ” list for six months. One of his first finds was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-s
42、cience articles. He found that science amazed Times readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They need
43、ed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr.Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”32. What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?A. News reports. B.
44、 Research papers. C. Private emails. D. Daily conversations.33. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?A. Theyre socially inactive. B. Theyre good at telling stories.C. Theyre inconsiderate of others. D. Theyre careful with their words.34. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to
45、 Dr. Bergers research?A. Sports news. B. Science articles. C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Sad Stories Travel Far Wide. B. Online News Attracts More People.C. Reading Habits Change with the Times. D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks.第二节 （共 5 小题;
