A
“It happened over three years ago,” Paddy said helplessly.? No one answered him or moved, for no one knew what to do. “Just don't tell my mother,” said Fee numbly. “And no one did! Oh, God! My poor, poor Frank!”
Paddy wiped the tears from his face and said.? “Fee dear, pack your things. We'll go to see him.”
She half-rose before sinking back, her eyes in her small white face stared as if dead. “I can't go,”?she said without a hint of pain, yet making everyone feel that the pain was there.?“It would kill him to see me. I know him so well—his pride, his ambition. Let him bear the shame alone, it's what he wants.?We've got to help him keep his secret.?What good will it do him to see us?”
Paddy was still weeping, not for Frank, but for the life which had gone from Fee's face, for the dying in her eyes. Frank had always brought bitterness and misfortune, always stood between Fee and himself.?He was the cause of her withdrawal from his heart and the hearts of his children.?Every time it looked as if there might be happiness for Fee, Frank took it away.?But Paddy's love for her was as deep and impossible to wipe out as hers was for Frank.
So he said.?“Well, Fee, we won't go. But we must make sure he is taken care of.?How about if I write to Father Jones and ask him to look out for Frank?”
The eyes didn't liven, but a faint pink stole into her cheeks. “Yes, Paddy, do that.?Only make sure he knows not to tell Frank we found out. Perhaps it would ease Frank to think for certain that we don't know.”

Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they’re always coming in for criticism (批评). Their critics seem to hate or resent them because they have a gift for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. “It’s unfair,” they say, “that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, it’s the consumer who pays…”
The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is exactly because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods comes largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine, it is more likely that you would obtain details about performance, price, etc., from an advertisement.
Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway regulations while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely-printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the daily amount of great disasters.
We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not survive without this source of income. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!
Another thing we mustn’t forget is the “small ads”, which are actually in every newspaper and magazine. What an extremely useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns! For instance, you can find a job, buy or sell a house, announce a birth, marriage or death in what used to be called the “hatch, match and dispatch” column but so far the most fascinating section is the personal or “agony” column (读者来信专栏). No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is!
11. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The costs of advertisement.
B. Advertisers tend to think big.
C. The benefits of advertisement.
D. Advertisements perform a useful service to communities.
12. Why do the critics criticize advertisers?
A. Because customers are poor.
B. Because critics think advertisement is a waste of money.
C. Because advertisers promote products with too much money.
D. Because customers are encouraged to buy more than necessary.
13. Which of the following is Not true?
A. Advertisement makes our life colorful.
B. Newspapers are worth more than we pay.
C. Good quality products don’t need to be advertised.
D. Advertisement makes contribution to our pockets and we may know everything.
14. In what way does the writer try to support his view?
A. Comparison B. Description C. Narration D. Definition

Which is sillier: denying we ever went to the moon or trying to convince the true nonbelievers?
Once upon a time – July 20, 1969, to be specific – two men got out of their little spaceship and wandered around on the moon for a while. Ten more men walked on the moon over the next three and a half years.
Unfortunately, not quite. A fair number of Americans think that this whole business of moon landings really is a fairy tale. They believe that the landings were a big hoax (骗局) staged in the Mojave Desert, to convince everyone that U.S. technology was the “best” in the whole wide world.
Which is the harder thing to do: Send men to the moon or make believe we did? The fact is the physics behind sending people to the moon is simple. You can do it with computers whose entire memory capacities can now fit on chips the size of postage stamps and that cost about as much as, well, a postage stamp. I know you can because we did.
However, last fall NASA considered spending $15,000 on a public-relations campaign to convince the unimpressed that Americans had in fact gone to the moon. That idea was mostly a reaction to a Fox television program, first aired in February 2001, that claimed to expose the hoax. The show’s creator is a publicity hound (猎狗) who has lived up to the name in more ways than one by hounding Buzz Aldrin, the second man on the moon. Mr. X (as I will call him, thereby denying him the joyous sight of his name in print) recently followed Buzz Aldrin around and called him “a thief, liar and coward” until the 72-year-old astronaut finally lost it and hit the 37-year-old Mr. X in the face.
Anyway, NASA’s publicity campaign began to slow down. The nonbelievers took the campaign as NASA’s effort to hide something while the believers said that $15,000 to convince people that the world was round — I mean, that we had gone to the moon — was simply a waste of money. (Actually, the $15,000 was supposed to pay for an article by James E. Oberg, an astronomy writer who, with Aldrin, has contributed to Scientific American.)
If NASA’s not paying Oberg, perhaps it could put the money to good use by hiring two big guys to drag Neil Armstrong out of the house. Armstrong is an extremely private man, but he is also the first man on the moon, so maybe he has a duty to be a bit more outspoken about the experience. Or NASA could just buy Aldrin a commemorate plaque (纪念匾) for his recent touch on the face of Mr. X.
15. We can learn from Paragraphs 2 and 3 that some Americans believe _______.
A. moon landings were invented
B. U.S. technology was the best
C. moon landing ended successfully
D. the Mojave Desert was the launching base
16. According to the writer, which of the following is to blame for the story about the hoax?
A. NASA’s publicity campaign. B. The Fox television program.
C. Buzz Aldrin. D. James E. Oberg.
17. According to the writer, Mr. X _______.
A. told a faithful story B. was not treated properly
C. was a talented creator D. had a bad reputation
18. The believers think that NASA’s publicity campaign is ________.
A. proof to hide the truth
B. stupid and unnecessary
C. needed to convince the non-believers[
D. important to develop space technology
19. What is implied in the last paragraph?
A. NASA should not bother with the non-believers.
B. Armstrong was a very private and determined person.
C. Armstrong should be as outspoken as Buzz Aldrin.
D. NASA should send more astronauts to outer space.
20. The tone of the article is _______.
A. angry B. conversational C. humorous D. matter-of-fact

下面文章中有5处（第61~65题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. Manufacturing industry in information economy
B. News in the age of information
C. Argument about individual accounts and their reliability
D. Be your own investigative journalist
E. Don’t believe everything you read in the newspapers．
F. Information is presented in an entertaining way．
21_______
With the arrival of the age of “information economy”, intellectual work is becoming a more important source of wealth than manufacturing．Organizations in all walks of life are doing more to spread their information．So people of the Public Relations are hired to speak for them．A lot of our news is actually collected from press releases and reports of events intentionally staged for journalists．In the information age, journalists spend their time, not investigating, but passing on the words of a spokesperson．
22_______
There is a joke in the novel Scoop about the newspaper’s owner, Lord Copper．The editors can never disagree with him．When he’s right about something they answer “definitely”, and when he’s wrong they say “to some extent, Lord Copper．” It seems reasonable to suppose that, in the real world, the opinions of such powerful people still influence the journalists and editors who work for them．
23_______
In countries where the news is not officially controlled, it may be provided by commercial organizations who depend on advertising．The news has to attract viewers and maintain its audience ratings．I suspect that some stories get air-time just because there happen to be exciting pictures to show．In Britain, we have the tabloid newspapers which millions of people read simply for entertainment．There is progressively less room for historical background, or statistics, which are harder to present as a sensational story．
24_______
There is an argument that with spreading access to the internet and cheap technology for recording sound and images we will all be able to find exactly the information we want．People around the world will be able to publish their own eye-witness accounts and compete with the widely-accepted news-gatherers on equal terms．But what it will mean also is that we’ll be subjected to a still greater amount of nonsense and lies．Any web log may contain the latest information of the year, or equally, a made-up story that you will never be able to check．
25_______
Maybe the time has come to do something about it, and I don’t just mean changing your choice of TV channel or newspaper．In a world where everyone wants you to listen to their version, you only have two choices: switch off altogether or start looking for sources you can trust．The investigative journalist of the future is everyone who wants to know the truth．
