Scene First Student Film FestivalBSometimes in the next century, the familiar early newspaper on the front porch will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. Youll get up and turn on
38、 the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. Youll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touc
39、h makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions from communication experts working on the newspaper of the future. Pictured as part of broader home-based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broa
40、dcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of news events.Most of the technology is available now, but convincing more people that they dont need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism. Since it is s
41、uch a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.Despite technological
42、advances, it could take decades to replace news-print with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the change over because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial interests in the paper industry.61. The best title for this passage is . A. Com
43、puter Newspapers Are Well Liked B. Newspapers of the Future Will Likely Be on Computers C. Paper Newspapers Are out of Fashion D. Communications Technology in the Future62. It might take 30 or 40 years for computer newspapers to replace traditional newspapers because . A. it is technologically impos
44、sible now B. computer newspapers are too expensiveC. both the general people and professional journalists are against themD. traditional newspapers are easy to read63. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers?A. They are cheaper than newspapers. B. They are convenient to use
45、. C. You can get more information from them quickly. D. You can easily save information for future use.64. The reason why journalists are not eager to accept computer newspapers is that . A. they dont know how to use computers B. they think computer newspapers take too much time to read C. they are
46、afraid that they might be unfit for their jobs D. they have been trained to work for traditional newspapers65. We can infer from the passage that . A. all technological changes are good B. all technologies will eventually replace old ones C. new technologies will replace old ones sooner or later D.
47、traditional newspapers will stay for another centuryCToday, when there are many top graduates looking for top jobs, graduates can differentiate(区别) themselves by obtaining a double major or even a double degree. Increasingly, employers are looking for individuals who are not only competent and intel
48、ligent, but who have different skill sets and who are knowledgeable in many areas. Part of the appeal to employers is that your extra work demonstrates a willingness to take on difficult tasks. Additionally, if your majors overlap (重叠), you are able to show potential employers that you have both bre
49、adth and depth of knowledge. By studying for a double major, although you will be studying for only one degree, you will be focusing on two related and integrated subjects that complement (补充) each other. Classes overlap between the majors, meaning fewer classes are required than with a double degre
50、e, so it is easier to finish within four years.In contrast, with the more rigorous (严格的) double degree, you will be studying for two different degrees in two completely different areas of study. Although pursuing such a course of study allows students to complete two wholly separate degrees in less
51、time than if they were to earn them separately, many strong students still find it incredibly difficult to complete in four or five years.If you are committed to a double major/degree, it is wise to do a little bit of planning. Some students try to find two courses of studies that are related, while
52、 others seek to round out their academic studies by choosing two completely unrelated fields. For double majors, common pairings include: (i) economics and a foreign language; (ii) political science or government and journalism; (iii) economics and psychology.For double degrees, common pairings incl
53、ude: (i) engineering and a business program such as finance or accounting; (ii) engineering and economics.66. What do employers think of the graduates with different skill sets and knowledge in many areas?A. They should be given top jobs. B. They are willing to take difficult tasks.C. They are bette
54、r than those who are competent and intelligent.D. They must have attained a double major or even a double degree.67. According to the passage, the underlined word “breadth” most probably means_.A. width B. amount C. quantity D. quality68. To obtain a double major, you _.A. should complete two wholly
55、 separate degreesB. need to focus on two related and integrated subjectsC. need to spend more time than obtaining a double degreeD. have to take courses in two completely different areas of study 69. If you are devoted to a double major or degree, you should _.A. find two subjects with overlapping c
56、lasses B. learn about what your potential employers wantC. decide what to learn with your intentions consideredD. try to decide on some common pairings as soon as possible70. Which statement is CORRECT according to the passage?A. Economics is a major while engineering is a degree.B. Every college st
57、udent should take a double major or degree.C. Earning a double degree is more difficult than obtaining a double major. D Some students choose two completely unrelated fields to show their ability in academic study.PART FOUR WRITING (45 marks)SECTION A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage

Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.There are two types of people in the worldAlthough they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, while the other becomes unhappyThis arises from th

60、 all the cheerful thingsThose who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite thingsTherefore, they are continually dissatisfiedBy their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend（hurt） many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhereIf this turn of mind was founded in nat

First, its very important to have a right attitude, for a normal state of mind and self-confidence not only helps us to relax but also enables us to overcome difficulties bravely. Meanwhile, we sho
81、uld have a definite goal and a correct estimation of ourselves. Only in this way will we not be easily pleased or disappointed with what we have known and done. Besides, wed better sometimes talk with our parents, teachers or classmates, who may help us out when were in trouble. Finally, striking a proper balance between study and rest keeps us energetic and a healthy diet is useful as well. With these done, I think we can greatly improve our performance. Thank you for listening, thats all!
