9 . In the near future, daily newspapers and monthly magazines will probably disappear. Electronic media can provide the same information faster and cheaper. The Internet, together with laptops and mobile phones, makes it possible that almost everyone can at any time and in almost any place get some news for free or for few fees.
You’ll browse the computer newspapers or magazines just like turning on TV. An electronic voice will tell you stories about the latest events. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the whole text appear.
There are the predictions from the experts working on the newspapers of the future. Imagined as part of home media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers and magazines would unite printed and broadcast news, offering information and analyzing video images of news events.
The continuing loss of readers will lead to a small number of advertisements in newspapers. It makes no sense to spend millions of dollars to print ads.
With the development of technology, more and more electronic media have been created until now, but replacing the traditional newspapers and magazines has a long way to go, because the resistance to computer newspapers and magazines from journalism may be much stronger. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be not until the present journalists, who aren’t used to it, die off that the newspaper industry is not considered as an industry any longer. Anyway, technology is making the traditional newspapers and magazines disappear gradually.
1. Computer newspapers and magazines have all the advantages EXCEPT that ________ .| A．you can choose the kind of voice you like to hear |
| B．they are more expensive than traditional newspapers |
| C．you can get more information from them easily |
| D．you can easily store information for the future use |
| A．all technological developments are very important |
| B．traditional newspapers and magazines will disappear soon |
| C．new things will replace the old ones in the future |
| D．traditional newspapers and magazines will be more popular |
| A．tell readers what newspapers and magazines are like in the future |
| B．let people know the great development of the journalism |
| C．prove newspapers and magazines are not welcomed any more |
| D．say traditional newspapers and magazines are better than before |
10 . The Forbidden City is well known for being full of Chinese cultural and historical relics. But Masters in the Forbidden City does not just focus on the stories of the past.
Instead, the documentary movie, which came out in Chinese cinemas on Dec. 16, focuses on ordinary people — the restorers of relics and antiquities.
The stories are told at a slow and relaxed pace, reflecting the restorers’ work. Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming, and sometimes boring. Yet these restorers’ patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a society where everything is changing so fast.
“If you choose this job, you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair. You need to be quiet and get used to being quiet,” says Wang Jin, an ancient clock repair expert.
A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship (工艺) in the restorers. “Years of humdrum work requires not only skill, but also faith and spirit,” China Daily commented. “Looking for preciseness and perfection, devoting yourself to work, patience, loneliness... All these qualities come from the craftsman spirit.”
But unlike the popular idea of serious experts who sit around being serious, the documentary shows off the enthusiasm of the restorers. They play their guitars and make jokes about each other after a long day of restoration work.
One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorer riding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday. While she is doing this, a narrator says, “The last person to do this was Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.”
Masters in the Forbidden City has proved wrong many people’s ideas about antique restorers, allowing them to realize that they are not old, dull professors, but people in their 40s, 30s and even 20s who can be quite pleasing to the eye.
1. According to the text, what’s the main purpose of the documentary Masters in the Forbidden City?| A．To draw attention to Chinese antique restorers' lives. |
| B．To show people how antiques are restored. |
| C．To display relics seldom seen by ordinary people. |
| D．To praise the craftsmanship of Chinese antique restorers. |
| A．he often gets tired with his work. |
| B．antique restorers need to be patient and peaceful. |
| C．there is no need to do restoration work fast. |
| D．it takes years of hard work to adapt to antique restoration. |
| A．Different. | B．Relaxing. |
| C．Unusual. | D．Boring. |
| A．To remind the audience of the last Qing emperor. |
| B．To show the strange hobbies of young antique restorers. |
| C．To show that the documentary breaks from (摆脱) the old, dull image of antique restorers. |
| D．To encourage the young to consider a career in antique restoration in the future. |
