1．A.invitedB．a(chǎn)skedC．calledD．elected
解析：選B。“我”是一家晚報的記者，工作就是寫報道，此處指報社“要求”“我”寫一篇報道。invite“邀請”；call“打電話”；elect“選舉，推選”，均不合乎語境。
2．A.playing
B．shopping
C．publishing
D．begging
解析：選D。根據(jù)下文作者扮作乞丐去體驗生活可知，報社是要求“我”寫一篇有關乞討的文章。beg“乞討”；play“游玩”；shop“購物”；publish“出版”。
3．A.promise
B．conclusion
C．decision
D．preparation
解析：選C。make a decision為固定搭配，意為“作決定”。make a promise“許諾”；make a conclusion“得出結論”；make preparation“做準備”。

C．beginnings
D．difficulties
解析：選B。此處表示作者要深入生活實際去了解乞討生活。the reality of life“生活實際”。

C．learned
D．tried
解析：選C。由上文可知，作者曾當過演員，自然也就學過化妝的技巧。
6．A.found
B．placed
C．lay
D．expressed
解析：選B。作者應是“置身”于街道上，而find指“意外地發(fā)現(xiàn)”自己在一個最繁華的街上。
7．A.excited
B．pleased
C．surprised
D．disappointed
解析：選C。根據(jù)下文可知乞討得到的錢不算少，出乎作者的意料，所以作者感到很驚訝。
8．A.interesting
B．successful
C．easy
D．hard
解析：選D。既然乞討一天可以掙到當記者一周的報酬，作者自然認為在報社努力工作一周只掙兩英鎊是非常“不容易”的事情。
9．A.make
B．spend
C．save
D．care
解析：選A。make“掙，賺”，與earn同義。spend“花費”；save“節(jié)省”；care“關心”。
10．A.a lot
B．a(chǎn) little
C．much
D．well
解析：選A。在乞討過程中，作者對化妝的了解自然幫了他“很大”忙。

B．easily
C．simply
D．usually
解析：選A。人們只知道作者有錢，但并不知道錢的“真正”來源。
15．A.office
B．job
C．bank
D．business
解析：選D。前三個選項都是可數(shù)名詞，前面應加不定冠詞，只有business“買賣”為不可數(shù)名詞。
Ⅴ.閱讀理解
Mass media are tools of communication.Mass media allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large, scattered(分散的) audience.They extend our ability to communicate with each other by helping us overcome barriers caused by time and space.
There are various ways in which mass media make daily life easy for us.First, they inform and help us keep a watch on our world.They gather and pass on information we would be unlikely or unable to get on our own.
Second, mass media help us to arrange time and life.What we talk about and what we think about are greatly influenced by the media.When people get together, they tend to talk about certain happenings in the newspapers or on TV.Because we are exposed to different points of view through different kinds of media every day, we are able to evaluate(評價) all sides of a certain issue.
Third, the media are used to persuade people.A good example is advertisements through the media.Newspapers, magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful, persuasive advertisements.Though many advertisements may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain product, they describe their products in such a way that you may want to buy them.
Fourth, the media also entertain.All of the media make some efforts to entertain their audience.For instance, even though the newspaper is primarily a medium of information, it also contains entertainment features.Television, motion pictures, fiction books and some radio stations and magazines are devoted mainly to entertainment.It is estimated that in the future, the entertainment function of mass media will become even more important than it is now.
1．What are mass media according to the passage?
A．Tools for entertainment which make daily life easy.
B．Tools for education which help improve people’s knowledge.
C．Tools for communication which record and pass information to people.

2．How many ways that mass media help make daily life easy are mentioned in this passage?
A．Two.
B．Three.
C．Five.
D．Four.
解析：選D。細節(jié)理解題。第二、三、四、五段分別談論一個方面，共四個方面。
3．Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．From mass media, we know what is happening in the world.
B．Mass media’s main purpose is to pass the information of advertisements.
C．Sometimes we arrange our time and life according to mass media.
D．Mass media can make people feel easy.
解析：選B。細節(jié)理解題。從文章可看出做廣告只是媒體的其中一個功能，并不是其主要功能，故B項表述錯誤。
4．How do advertisements make people buy certain goods according to the passage?
A．The advertisements make some efforts to entertain you.
B．The advertisements say openly that they want you to buy a certain product.
C．The advertisements describe their products in such a way that you may want to buy them.

解析：選C。細節(jié)理解題。由第四段最后一句“Though many advertisements may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain product，they describe their products in such a way that you may want to buy them.”可得出答案。
