Kevin TaylorBThe appearance of the new media in the 17th century has to be seen in close connection with the spread of the printing press from which the publishing press gets its name.The German-language Relation aller Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historien, printed from 1605 by Johann Carolus in Strasbourg, is often recognized as the first newspaper. At the time, Strasbourg was a free imperial(皇家的) city in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation; the first newspaper of modern Germany was the Avisa, published in 1609 in Wolfenbüttel.Other early papers include:The Dutch Courante uyt Italien, Duytslandt, &c.of 1618 was the first to appear in folio （对开）- rather than quarto-size（四开）. Amsterdam, a center of world trade, quickly became home to newspapers in many languages, often before they were published in their own country. The first English-language newspaper, Corrant out of Italy, Germany, etc., was published in Amsterdam in 1620. A year and a half later, Corante, or weekely newes from Italy, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Bohemia, France and the Low Countreys. was published in England.The first newspaper in France was published in 1631, La Gazette. The first newspaper in Portugal, A Gazeta da Restauração, was published in 1641 in Lisbon. The first Spanish newspaper, Gaceta de Madrid, was published in 1661.Post- och Inrikes Tidningar was first published in Sweden in 1645, and is the oldest newspaper still in existence, though it now publishes only online.Opregte Haarlemsche Courant from Haarlem, first published in 1656, is the oldest paper still printed. It was forced to appear with the newspaper Haarlems Dagblad in 1942 when Germany occupied the Netherlands. Since then the Haarlems Dagblad has appeared with the subtitle（副标题）Oprechte Haerlemse Courant 1656.Merkuriusz Polski Ordynaryjny was published in Kraków, Poland in 1661.The first successful English daily, The Daily Courant, was published from 1702 to 1735.24.

The newspaper that has the longest printing history is published in ______.A. HollandB. GermanyC. SpainD. BritainCNormally, a student will spend a lot of time working at desks. This often means that he or she isn’t getting enough exercise. Not only is exercise important for students’health, but it is also thought to be able to increase students’ learning abilities.Developing a healthy lifestyle is important to people of any age, but it can be hard for students who have to deal with lots of stresses for the first time. For example, most students will have to learn how to live away from home, how to make new friends and how to study effectively. Students’health can often become of secondary importance in this situation. Leading a healthy lifestyle will do great good to students. Regular exercise will help produce endorphin(内啡肽) that can reduce the risk of problems such as depression(沮丧) and increase happiness. To stay healthy and keep fit, a student should exercise at least30 minutes most days of the week. In order to avoid injury, the exercise should focus ona different area of the body each day. Some students may also find that exercise can help them, in general, learn more efficiently(有效地) in class. Studies show that students who exercise regularly are happier and more energetic. The effects are not seen immediately after doing exercise--it’s a product of continual exercise.School is often a good place for students to join a sports team or exercise class. Exercises such as jogging, swimming and biking are also useful. The more enjoyable your exercise is, the easier it will be to continue it for a long period of time.28.Why do students not have enough time to exercise?A. Because they have to spend more time studying.B. Because they don’t have proper places to exercise.C. Because they don’t have enough energy to exercise.D. Because they have no interest in taking exercise.29.Students have to deal with lots of stress EXCEPT that _____________.A.they have to live away from homeB. they have to make new friendsC. they have to learn to study effectively.D. they have to stay healthy at school.30.Which of the follow is true about regular exercise for students?A.Regular exercise will help reduce students’ problems.B.Regular exercise will help avoid injury at school.C.Regular exercise will make students feel happier.D.The effect will be seen soon after doing exercise.31.What is the text mainly about?A.The importance of exercise for students.B. How to increase students’ outdoor exercise.B.The correct way of exercise for students. D. A good place for students to exercise.DThe eyes of people with Alzheimer’s disease are different from those of people without this disease. That’s the finding of two teens called Arch ana Muraki and Elena Berman. The changes they found could offer reliable evidence(证据) of the disease in living people, the girls propose. More importantly, early signs of these changes might allow treatment for the disease before major symptoms occur.“Blood tests won’t show Alzheimer’s disease. Some genes can increase the risk of developing this disease. But people with those genes won’t always develop symptoms,” Archana and Elena say. And Alzheimer’s symptoms may be confused with those of several other di seases. The only certain way to confirm an Alzheimer’s diagnosis is to look at samples of brain tissue after a victim has died.But Archana and Elena have identified new symptoms that appear to signal Alzheimer’s disease in living people. They compared the eye scans of 68 Alzheimer’s patients with the eye from 65 healthy people. In many aspects, the scans were similar. But for some features, striking differences appeared.For example, the teens measured the thickness of a nerve-rich layer in the retina(视网膜). That’s the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. This layer in Alzhermer’s patients ranges between 20 and 25 micrometers. That’s smaller than the 30 to 34 micr ometers typical the healthy volunteers. The teen also measured the thickness of the choroid(脉络膜), a blood-vessel-rich layer behind the retina. In healthy people, it ranges from 180to 218 micrometers thick. But in Alzhermer’s patients, it typically measures between 83 and 94 micrometers. But in people without Alzheimer’s disease, the v ein normally ranges between 131 and 134 micrometers.Based on their early analyses, the new technique appears to be more than 95 percent accurate. “It also would be far less expensive”, the teens say. While the cost of a brain scan is around ＄2,6000, eye doctors can take an image of a patient’s eyes for about ＄100. So, if proven, the teens’ new technique could easily become part of a routine eye exam.32. What have Archana Murali and Elena Berman found?A. A new way to confirm Alzheimer’s disease.B. Major sym ptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.C. New treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.D. Some dangers of Alzheimer’s disease.33. The facts mentioned in Paragraph 2 mainly show that ______.A. Alzheimer’s disease is horribleB. blood tests aren’t always u sefulC. Alzheimer’s symptoms are confusingD. it’s not easy to confirm Alzheimer’s disease34. Compared with healthy people in the study, those who have Alzheimer’s disease have _____.A. a thinner blood-vessel-rich layer in the retinaB. a thicker nerve-rich layer in the retinaC. a thinner major vein inside the retinaD. a thicker light-sensitive layer35. According to the last paragraph, the new technique _____.A. isn’t reliable at allB. may greatly reduce costsC. is used by doctors nowD. isn’t affordable to everyone第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）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。
