How is our paper put together?

Reading newspapers is an important part of our daily life, but do you know how to make a newspaper?

There are many   80  to make a newspaper. Take Teens for example. On Monday, editors and reporters hold a meeting to decide what stories should be in this week's paper.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, reporters make phone calls and write e-mails. They set up interviews with students and stars. Then they start to write news stories. Cartoonists draw cartoons and photographers take pictures to  81  the stories.

Foreign editors sometimes write about English-speaking countries. Also, they check the language in all the stories.

Everything comes together on Thursday. Page designers put the stories, cartoons and pictures on the page. Editors read through the stories to correct mistakes. They      82  write headlines and captions(图片说明). Often, editors have to cut the story to make it fit on the page, and it can be hard to decide what to take out.

It's really   83  in the newspaper office on Friday. Designers print the page drafts (清样) and editors read over each page. They make sure, again, that all the facts are right and nothing is misspelled(拼写错误). At night, the pages are printed out in the printing house.

This is how teens comes out.     84   Teens is a weekly newspaper, the process is nearly the same as a daily newspaper's. The   85  is that daily newspapers finish the whole process in one single day.

80. A) editors       B) steps       C)days        D) stories

81. A) write         B)change        C) match        D) describe

82. A) also           B) never        C) always       D) hardly

83. A) boring       B) tired       C) free        D) busy

84. A) Since        B) When         C) Whether    D) Although

85. A) discussion    B) difference   C) difficulty          D) decision

 

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给)：(14分)

Carla was riding the bus with her elder brother, Brian. It was pretty hot outside, so they decided to get o   86   the bus and buy some cold drinks. They got their refreshments(活力恢复) and took a walk down the street.

As they waited at the crosswalk, they saw a wonderful new car come up. As they admired(羡慕) the car, the passenger door opened a bit and an empty juice b   87  rolled out. Then the light turned green and the car sped off.

Carla and Brain could hardly believe it. Who would put trash(垃圾) in the middle of the street? Brian n  88       all the other trash in the street and on sidewalks. He explained to Carla how much

he hated litter and how lazy it was to be a "Jitterbug" (垃圾虫). They decided that they had to get their neighbourhood cleaned up.

When they got home, Carla and Brian wrote a letter.

They suggested that the city put p  89   trash cans in every comer. They described how they felt about people littering in their town. They wrote that they wanted to see the streets and sidewalks cleaned up. They e 90 asked everyone in the neighbourhood to sign the letter. Then Brian sent it to the mayor (市长).

A few weeks later, Brian told Carla he wanted to s   91  her something. He took his sister for a walk up the street. What do you think they saw? There were new trash cans on every corner and hardly any litter on the sidewalks!

The mayor had listened to them. Carla and Brian were happy and p   92  They decided they would always help keep their town clean.
