精品资料课时作业(八)　Section Ⅱ　Learning about Language & Using LanguageⅠ.阅读理解AIf there is one thing I am sure about，it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives—the big political stories，the coverage of the wars，earthquakes and other disasters，will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research，though.It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives，like genetic(基因)engineering.In the future，I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do—as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact，I am pretty sure that it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu，making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read—sports and international news，etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体)．They actually feed_off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers，but that hasn't happened.What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen of sound in the air.And as for the Internet，it is never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.1．What is the best title for the text?A．The Best Way to Get NewsB．The Changes of MediaC．Make Your Own NewspaperD．The Future of Newspapers2．What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?A．Sports and international news.B．A menu of important news.C．The most important news.D．What you are interested in.3．From the text，we can infer that ________.A．newspapers will win the competition among the different mediaB．newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaC．television will take the place of newspapersD．some media will die out4．The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means ________.A．depend on　　　　　 B．compete withC．fight with D．kill of语篇解读：本文主要围绕着报纸将来的情况，提出报纸这一新闻媒体在近百年内不会消失的观点并分析了其原因。
