Dear Mr. Armstrong,
I was pleased to receive your letter, asking what advice I would give to members of your clu B. In my opinion, 1 field offers greater 2 than newspaper work for young people with 3 in writing.
Of course I’m not speaking of 4 rewards. Anyone who wants to get rich should choose some other 5 . I can’t even promise you excitement. A newspaper reporter might have to 6 the same duties day after day. But journalism pays a living wage, and it often makes a reporter feel more 7 than a bank president. Who can say that he is not?
You have asked me 8 to become a journalist.
First, learn how to 9 a computer. This is one thing you must be able to do. You can either learn the 10 in school or buy a book that 11 how to teach yourself.
At school you should learn how to read and write your own 12 well. You should also learn history, government, mathematics and 13 . Foreign languages are also good to know. The things that 14 every day are not simple, and a journalist has to know 15 in order to understand them.
If your school has a 16 , you should write for it. Editors like young people who have had experience 17 for school papers.
There are many things you can do to prepare 18 for a newspaper jo B. Read everything you can, 19 newspapers and magazines. Discuss what you read and 20 your own opinions.
If the members of your club have any questions that haven’t been answered by this letter, please write again.

Jerry was 15 when I was only 10, but the fact that he was so much older than I seemed to make no difference to him. We took long walks together, on which he would tell stories he had 1 from TV and radio programs. I suppose he changed the plots a lot and added twists of 2 own, but he knew what would 3 the lively imagination of a 10-year-ol D.
Jerry never seemed to 4 giving me so much of his time and, 5 he had many old friends, he always made me feel that I was his 6 one. He taught me all I 7 know about birds and flowers; he came over to read to me every day when I had to stay home for weeks with my leg broken. I 8 came to feel Jerry meant more to me than either my father or mother did, and began to 9 him as I would have to a god.
But as months rolled by, 10 came in our relationship. Jerry 11 stopped coming by the house and every time I went to his or telephoned him, he put me off with some 12 such as studying now. I noticed him with a girl once 13 a while and several times saw him going out in his family’s car on weekends. I simply couldn’t understand 14 was so great about girls, parties and big social affairs.
But what I could understand was my 15 when he finally made me know that our 16 as friends was at the end.
17 he didn’t really mean to hurt me, but it was a long time before I realized it was 18 problem that caused the break. There’s a world of difference between the attitudes and interests of a teenger and a 12-year-ol D. 19 I’m over 16 myself, I realize this and the hurt I felt then has 20 way to happy memories of the good times we once had together.

答案与解析:
A
1. 选B｡由than提示,我们可以判断这是一个比较句｡在作者眼里,没有哪一个职业(no field)比从事新闻业对年青人回报更高｡其它三项无法表达此意｡
2. 选B｡award (= something given officially?雪奖品;reward (= return for work or service?雪报酬,回报;比较上述两词在上下文中的意义,应排除A项,选用B项,表示职业对人的回报更高｡
3. 选A｡由后面的 ... in writing提示,应选用与之搭配的词an interest,意思是“对写作有兴趣的年青人”｡C项curiosity常与about搭配使用,因此应排除｡
4. 选D｡由下文“Anyone who wants to get rich should choose some other occupation.”判断,作者谈论的不是物质回报(material rewards),而是精神的､心理的回报｡
5. 选C｡occupation (= job; employment?雪指职业;position主要指(人)的地位;(在社会中的)等级｡根据上下文,只有occupation一词符合句子意义｡
6. 选B｡duty一词常与perform, carry out, take on连用,构成短语perform one’s duty / carry out one’s duty和take on a duty,表示“承担责任;做自己的工作”｡从搭配来看,只有B项可选｡
7. 选C｡从语境入手更轻易突破此题｡新闻工作者社会责任重大,他们拿工资,不可能富有,但他们常常揭露社会的黑暗,帮助弱势群体,所以他们会觉得他们比银行行长还重要｡A项wealthy (= rich?雪与文章主旨相悖｡
8. 选A｡上下文提示,信中询问:怎样成为新闻工作者?其它三项在意义上不符合要求｡
9. 选C｡根据句意,应用use一词,表示学习使用操作计算机,而不是维修(fix)或获得(get)｡
10. 选D｡相对记者而言,知道使用计算机(强调操作技能;而不是知识(如设计软件等))就足够了｡C项干扰性较大,是因为没能结合语境区别C､D两项｡
11. 选D｡这种技能 可在学校也可从书本上获得｡这本书一定会详细讲解每一步的具体操作步骤｡受汉语影响,容易误选A项或C项｡选A项,其正确结构应为: ... a book that is written about ...;C项用词不妥｡
12. 选B｡与下文中所提学科;历史､管理､教学和理科相对应的应是语言｡
13. 选B｡西方国家的science科目包括物理､化学和生物｡因此,A､D两项应排除｡C项属语言类,上文且已提到,所以不可取｡
14. 选A｡每天发生的事情虽小,但并不简单｡选用D项appear (= become visible?雪,有用词不当之嫌｡
15. 选A｡many和plenty不能直接用作宾语｡要表达“知道很多或很少”,应用 ... know a lot / much或 ... know little｡
16. 选C｡上下文提示了答案,即:如果学校办报,你应该为其投稿(视作一种锻炼,为其后从事新闻工作积累经验)｡
17. 选D｡常识告诉我们,往往有工作经历(working for papers)的人容易被雇用｡此处指:曾经为学校报纸工作过的人｡A项editing编辑,B项printing印刷,都属于working for papers的范畴｡
18. 选A｡根据句子结构,应选用反身代词yourself构成 ... you can do to prepare yourself for ...,表示“……使(你自己)为……作准备”｡
19. 选C｡为从事新闻业而做的准备工作:读所有你能读的东西,尤其(especially)报纸和杂志｡
20. 选C｡读完后与人讨论,以期形成自己的观点｡form (= develop; give shape?雪意思是“形成;构成”｡A项表示“安排;筹划”,这与上下文不符｡
B
1. 选A｡“picked up”引处意为“heard, or got”｡
2. 选C｡句意为“我觉得他把故事情节改动了许多,还加上些自编的意想不到的转折”｡
3. 选B｡“attract”意为“吸引”｡句意为“吸引住一位10岁孩子的强烈的想像力”｡
4. 选A｡从上下文可确定此处应选“mind”,意为“他不介意在我身上花费这么多时间”｡
5. 选D｡从后半句可确定此处应选“although”,意为“虽然”｡
6. 选B｡从上下文可确定此处应选“special”意为“特别的(朋友),不同一般的(朋友)｡”
7. 选C｡注意taught和know所体现的时态｡“still”修饰“know”意为“我现在关于花鸟的知识都是他当时传授给我的｡”
8. 选A｡“gradually”意为“渐渐地,逐渐地”｡
9. 选D｡动词短语“look up to”意为“尊敬,敬佩”｡本题测试“语义搭配”｡此句意为“我开始像崇敬神灵一样尊敬他”｡
10. 选C｡从上下文及下句“Jerry几乎不再从我家经过”,可确定此选项｡
11. 选B｡“几乎不再”暗示“两人之间关系”的变化｡
12. 选A｡“put off”此句中意为“推脱,敷衍”｡excuse意为“借口;托辞”｡
13. 选C｡“once in a while”意为“sometimes, although not often.”｡
14. 选D｡“what”引出宾语从句并在从句中做主语｡句意为“我简直不明白女孩,聚会及盛大社交活动有什么了不起”｡
15. 选C｡“hurt”可表示“感情上的伤害”｡此选项可根据下半句确定｡
16. 选A｡“our closeness as friends”意为“我们的亲密朋友关系”｡
17. 选D｡从上句及本句下半句的意思可确定选项｡“of course”意为“当然”｡
18. 选B｡据下半句确定此处的选项｡“an age problem”意为“年龄问题”｡
19. 选A｡“now that”意为“既然”｡此选项可根据上下文的逻辑关系来确定｡
20. 选C｡“give way to”意为“让位给……;被……替代”｡此选项测试词义搭配｡
