44、rtainlyCespecially Dspecially解析:选C为从事新闻业而做的准备工作要读所有能读的东西,尤其是报纸和杂志,因为新闻工作者的主要职责就是出版报纸和杂志。specially“专门的”,不合语境。35A.organize BchangeCform Dmake解析:选C前文讲述了为找一份从事新闻业的工作如何做准备,所以要求读报纸和杂志,并且读完后与人讨论形成自己的观点。form意为“形成,构成”,符合语境。非选择题部分.语法填空 (共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。When waiting for
