5 . The Eastern Daily Press (EDP), a newspaper covering Nolfolk, northern parts of Suffolk and eastern Cambridge shire, is published daily in Norwich, UK. Founded in 1879 as a broadsheet called the Eastern Counties Daily Press, it changed its name to the Eastern Daily press in 1872. The paper is now owned and published by Archant, formerly known as Eastern Counties Newspapers Group.

Soon, a Google-backed project named Local Recall giving access to over 150 years of Eastern Daily Press newspaper at the click of a button or spoken question will be released. Archant is home to archive that holds tens of thousands of newspapers-with some Norwich Mercury editions dating from as far back as the middle of the 18th century. In 2017, Archant applied to the Google Digital News Innovation Fund to breathe new life into the archive. The company received ￡600,000 from Google and part-matched the fund to start Local Recall.

The project began in early 2018 and with help from Norwich-based artificial intelligence and chatbot company Ubisend along with specialist historical scanning companies Towns Web Archiving and Findmypast, Local Recall has since digitized an estimated 750,000 pages of EDP newspapers. In the process, more than seven million articles have been uploaded online. The digitization process, while impressive, could not always guarantee exact recreation of the text. Factors such as paper thickness, marks on the page and general wear and tear could make results confusing. It became clear there was a need for human eyes to pick out errors.

Meanwhile, a platform was provided for an army of more than 800 volunteers to help proofread and correct the stories from days gone by. Melanie Duncan, 47, from Helleson, got involved in the project after learning about it through Facebook. “It’s a window of memories into our past that we might have no knowledge of otherwise. The project is an invaluable source of accessible information. I have enjoyed every minute of doing it so far,” she said. Soon, users will be able to explore EDP archives from October 1870 right up to the latest news through a subscription service available on monthly and annual price plan.

6 . Are newspapers dying? Many say the disappearance of the daily paper is just a matter of time. Now newspaper circulation is dropping, ad income is drying up, and the industry has experienced a great wave of layoffs (裁员) in recent years. A third of the large newsrooms across the United States had layoffs between 2017 and April 2018 alone. So these people say the Internet is just a better place to get news. “On the web, newspapers are live, and they can enrich their coverage with audio, video, and the invaluable resources of their vast archives (档案),” said Jeffrey I. Cole, director of USC’s Digital Future Center. “For the first time in 60 years, newspapers are back in the breaking news business, except now their delivery method is electronic and not paper.”

Yes, newspapers are facing tough times, and the Internet can offer many things papers can’t. However, newspapers are still here, and many of them remain profitable. Rick Edmonds, a media business analyst for the Poynter Institute, says the widespread newspaper industry layoffs of the last decade should make papers more survivable. “Many newspapers are operating more leanly (精简地) now,” Edmonds said. “The business will be smaller, but there should be enough profit there to make a sustainable business for years to come.”

Those who claim the future of news is online ignore one important point: Online ad income alone just isn’t enough to support most news companies. Thus, online news sites will need a new business model to survive. One possibility may be paywalls, meaning people have to pay for content. The 2013 Pew Research Center media report found that paywalls had been adopted at 450 of the country’s 1,380 dailies.

Until someone figures out how to make online-only news sites profitable, newspapers aren’t going anywhere. Despite the occasional scandal (丑闻) at print institutions, they remain trusted sources of information people turn to.

2. How can online news sites make more profits to support them?

A．By charging their readers.	B．By featuring the online advertisements.
C．By releasing more shocking news.	D．By cooperating with local printed newspapers.

3. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Newspapers won’t exist.	B．Newspapers won’t be dead.
C．Newspapers won’t be trusted.	D．Newspapers won’t be reduced.

4. What does the text mainly talk about?

A．The future of newspapers.

B．Advantages and disadvantages of newspapers.

C．The meaning of the existence of printed newspapers.

D．The comparisons between newspapers and online news.

7 . Look around on your next plane trip. The iPad is the new pacifier (安抚奶嘴） for babies and toddlers.School-aged children read stories on smartphones. Their parents read on Kindles or skim a long list of email and news feeds. An invisible, game-changing transformation links everyone in this picture:the neuronal circuit(神经元回路）that underlies(成为···的基础）the brain's ability to read is rapidly changing.Our important “deep reading" processes may be under threat as we move further into the new digital-based ways of reading.

We know from research that the reading circuit is not given to human beings through a genetic blueprint like' it is with vision or language; it needs an environment to develop. Further,it will adapt to that environment's requirements. If the environment advantages the reading processes that are fast, multi-task oriented(以···为方向的） and well-suited for large amounts of information,like the current digital-based reading, so will the reading circuit. As a result, less attention and time will be allocated to slower,time-demanding deep reading processes.

Increasing reports from educators and researchers in psychology and the humanities bear this out. English literature scholar and teacher Mark Edmundson describes how many college students actively avoid the classic literature of the 19th and 20th centuries because they no longer have the patience to read longer, denser, more difficult texts. We should be less concerned with students' "cognitive impatience", however than by what may underlie it: the potential inability of large numbers of students to read with a level of critical analysis enough to comprehend the complexity of thought and argument found in more demanding texts.

Ziming Liu from San Jose State University has conducted a series of studies which indicate that the “new norm" in reading is skimming. Many readers now use an F or Z pattern when reading in which they sample the first line and then word-spot through the rest of the text. When the reading brain skims like this, it doesn't have time to grasp complexity, to understand others' feelings, to be aware of beauty, and to create thoughts of the reader's own.

Karin Littau and Andrew Piper have noted another aspect: physicality. They stress that the sense of touch in print reading adds an important part to information - a kind of“geometry(几何结构）”to words, and a kind of spatial "'thereness" for text. As Piper notes, human beings need a knowledge of where they are in time and space that allows them to return to things and learn from re-examination-what he calls the “technology of recurrence (再现）＂.The importance of recurrence for both young and older readers involves the ability to go back,to check and evaluate one's understanding of a text. The question, then, is what happens to comprehension when our youth skim on a screen whose lack of spatial thereness discourages “looking back".

1. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．What affects people's neuronal circuits.

B．Why deep reading is important to people.

C．Why people now prefer digital reading.

D．What will happen to our brain when we read.

2. What does the author want to stress about the college students?

3. According to Paragraph 4,the F or Z pattern

A．affects the way people skim

B．encourages people to read more

C．becomes popular among the youth

D．limits people's thinking development

4. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．Reading physical books helps us comprehend a text better.

B．Techniques should be suited for different reading materials.

C．A reading space can help us be more attentive.

D．It is important to use all senses to learn.
