He wrote honestly about the British government, and in 1735 he was arrested. He was found not guilty, since what he wrote was based on truth. His case helped influence the American Revolution.‎ Benjamin Franklin We know that Benjamin Franklin had a lot of interests. But many people don’t realize that the inventor and founding father was also a journalist. His The Pennsylvania Gazette began in the 1730s, and Franklin used it to help get his ideas out and influence the public leading up to the American Revolution.‎ William Randolph Hearst Hearst was well known as one of the biggest publishers and journalists of his time. He started with The San Francisco Examiner, and went from there. Hearst was one of the starters of ＂yellow journalism＂, which started a new field of journalism that used eye-catching headlines to draw the attention of readers.‎ Helen Thomas This woman is the first lady of print journalism. Helen Thomas has been a White House reporter since 1961. She is known for her bold (大胆的) questions, and for her ability to get to the heart of the matter. Thomas gained new influence and fame when George W. Bush was President for her sharp questions and comments.‎ ‎21. Why was John Peter Zenger not guilty?‎ A. He didn’t lie at all.‎ B.

The British Museum, which you can visit free of charge, has millions of exhibits featuring ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman artifacts. Another popular free place is the British Library and its collection of original manuscripts (原稿). The Changing of the Guard takes place at all the Royal Palaces with the most famous one of course being Buckingham Palace. But if the crowd there is too huge, you can check out a smaller ceremony at St James’s Palace. With all the money you’ve saved, why not take a ride on the London Eye for the finest views in all of London?‎ The Lake District is the mountainous, northwest realm of England. In this area, you’ll find some of England’s highest mountains and its deepest and longest lakes. Here you can reconnect with nature while spending nights camping under the stars. If you prefer a more leisurely pace, you can explore the area’s nature reserves and historic homes by yourself. For the cultural tourists, there are summer theater performances and creative arts festivals.‎ Oxford is best known for its university, one of the leading universities in the world. Oxford is also a vast architectural museum which dates back to the arrival of the Saxons. Begin your treasure hunt with a tour of the university. Many of this university’s 11th-century buildings are open to visitors.‎ ‎25. When you travel in London, what can you do there?‎ A. See many original manuscripts in Buckingham Palace.‎ B.

Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred if affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman. ‎ There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases, a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person can’t tell the differences between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man sees everything in shades of green--- a strange world in deed. ‎ Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions very small things called ＂cones＂. These help us see in a bright day and tell the differences between colors. There are also millions of ＂rods＂, but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but not color. ‎ Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will. In similar way human being also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us. ‎ ‎28. The passage is mainly about ______. ‎ ‎ A. color and its surprising effects on drivers ‎ B. women being luckier than man in that fewer of them are color blind ‎ C. danger caused by color blindness ‎ D. color blindness and how our eyes tell different colors and shapes ‎29. According to the passage, with the help of ＂cones＂ we can _____. ‎ ‎ A. tell different shapes B. see in weak light ‎ C. tell different shapes D. tell orange from yellow ‎30. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?‎ ‎ A. Women are more careful.‎ ‎ B. There are fewer color-blind women.‎ ‎ C. Women are fonder of driving than men.‎ ‎ D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking. ‎ ‎31. We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a ‎ A. Red light B. yellow light C. blue light D. green light D Callaghan, father of a teenage girl — Emma, couldn’t understand why he had developed a disease which normally affects men twice his age.‎ ‎＂I was by myself,＂ Callaghan recalled. ＂I thought it was a kidney stone (肾结石). I was in the doctor’s office for about 45 minutes that day. I don’t remember anything more than one minute of it.＂ He believed anyone who had his condition would live only 12 months. And he would take tablets every day, possibly for the rest of his life.‎ Callaghan began finding hope in a small act of love for Emma: handwriting notes of love on a napkin and placing it in her lunch box; nothing unusual or life-changing, just some words of encouragement to Emma to think of during the day. His numbered days meant numbered napkins. ＂The reason why I started writing notes to her is that I want to matter in her life,＂ Callaghan said. ＂I see so many working parents today who give up a lot of their parenting. I want Emma to be able to look at me at whatever age she is and say ‘My dad loves me. I need his advice, I need his love and I trust that my dad’s going to be there.’＂‎ But what started out as a father’s way of showing his daughter his love quickly grew. His idea of sharing his inspirational（鼓舞人心的）napkin messages with friends and family on Facebook got a generous response from the media. His new book Napkin Notes shares each message he’s ever sent to his daughter as well as more about his brave battle against cancer and life lessons he hopes Emma and maybe even grown readers can learn. ‎ Now Callaghan is still fighting for his life. ＂The act of taking a napkin, holding my pen and thinking of something to write down inspires me just as much as I hope it inspires my daughter,＂ Callaghan said.‎ 32. What doubt did Callaghan have in Para.1?‎ A. Why he suffered the disease twice.‎ B. Why he had the disease at an early age.‎ C. Why he had to receive treatment twice.‎ D. Why the disease affected more men than women.‎ ‎33. Why did Callaghan write notes to his daughter?‎ A. He felt lucky to be her father. ‎ B. He desired to change her life.‎ C. He decided to number his days in this way.‎ D. He found it a good way to inspire both of them.‎ ‎34. According to the text, what’s Callaghan like?‎ A. Creative. B. Confident. C. Humorous. D. Patient.‎ ‎35.What is the best title of this passage?‎ A. A deadly disease B. A lucky daughter ‎ C. A brave father D. Message of inspiration 第二节：根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Reading books is one of the best hobbies.
