Some people subscribe (订阅 ) to as many as two or three newspapers. But why do people read newspapers? Five hundred y
21、ears ago, news of important happenings battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown (推翻 ) or killed took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far
22、 away countries on the same day they happen. Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information.

23、ge companies to bring attention to their products.

For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money

27、 see Boston, visit Niagara Falls, go to Virginia, fly down to Florida, and so on; but first, of course, you will want to see New York. It is not the capital city of the United States (that is Washington, D. C., where the President lives) or even the capital city of New York State (that is Albany), b
28、ut many people call it the greatest city on earth. “ The five parts, or boroughs, of New York City are Manhattan, Queen, Bronz, Richmond and Brooklyn. Although Manhattan is not all of New York, it is the heart of the city. It is an island, which is only about 13 miles long and 2 miles wide. From the
29、 air its shape looks like a long finger, and from the sea its just like the picture we all know. Those tall, straight buildings the skyscrapers packed so close together on that island of rocks are sometimes seen in the distance through a veil of early morning mist. You have imagined it so often that
30、 now its difficult to believe this beautiful sight is real, and unless your heart is as hard as a stone, excitement will make it beat a little faster. Perhaps “greatest“, “tallest“ , “longest“ , “biggest“ , “brightest“ , are words you will find most often in the city guide books. 52 How many places

Later he used sharp bones or horns, m
33、etal knives and more recently, rubber and plastic. In the 1960s a new tool was developed, one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also to revolutionize the art and science of surgery. The tool is the laser and it is being used by more
34、 and more surgeons all over the world. As we all know, light is hot, and any source of light will give warmth. But light is usually spread out over a wide area. The light in a laser beam, however, is concentrated. This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric
35、light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-sized beam. Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have a particular effect on certain living cells. It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back o
36、f human eye without harming the front of the eye, simply by passing a laser beam right through the eye-ball. Operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of long period of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable. The rapid development of laser techniques in the past
37、 ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting. Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but also more effective. 55 Which of the following would be appropriate to describe the instruments of surgical operations up until 1

40、at of the sun 58 After the use of the laser beam, surgeons can perform operations which _ . （ A） leave their patients with negative effects （ B） can treat only human eye diseases （ C） do little damage to their patients （ D） make their patients need a long time to recover 补全文章 58 Evaluating Sources o
41、f Health Information Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to s
42、eparate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources.【 B1】 _ Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was
43、based on good science. Think about the type of study.【 B2】 _ Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to“ or is “associated with“ an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result 【 B3】 _ Carefully read or listen to informati
