B

exaggerated

C

candid

D

subdued

参考答案和解析
正确答案： A,F
解析：
由后半句可知，比起鲨鱼袭击，人们应该更害怕雷击，因此，前半句的意思应是，媒体对于鲨鱼袭击的报道让公众极度恐慌，这其实是不必要的，选项中只有“exaggerated” and “excessive”符合题意。A浮夸的，华而不实的；C坦白的，直率的；D减弱的，被抑制的；F不可避免的。句意是，“媒体对于鲨鱼无故攻击人类的报道引发了公众的过度恐慌；其实，每年雷击引发的灾祸要比鲨鱼袭击要多得多。”

Media and Current Events
The media can impact current events.As a graduate student at Berkeley in the 1960s,I remember experiencing the events related to the People's Park that were occurnng on campus.Some of these events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV.I found it interesting to compare my impressions of what was going on with perceptions obtained from the news media.I could begin to see events of that time feed on news coverage.This also provided me with some healthy insights into the distinctions between these realities.
Electronic media are having a greater impact on the people's lives every day.People gather more and more of their impressions from representations.Television and telephone communications are linking people to a global village,or what one writer calls the electronic city.Consider the information that television brings into your home every day.Consider also the contact you have with others simply by using telephone.These media extend your consciousness and your contact.For example,the video coverage of the 1989 San Francisco earth- quake focused on"live action"such as the fires or the rescue efforts.This gave the viewer the impression of total disaster.Television coverage of the Iraqi War also developed an immediacy.CNN reported events as they happened.This coverage was distributed worldwide.Although most people were far away from these events, they developed some perception of these realities.
In 1992,many people watched in horror as riots broke out on a sad Wednesday evening in Los Angeles, seemingly fed by video coverage from helicopters.This event was triggered by the verdict（裁定）in the Rodney King beating.We are now in an age where the public can have access to information that enables it to make its own judgments,and most people,who had seen the video of this beating,could not understand how the jury（陪审团）was able to acquit（宣布无罪）the policemen involved.Media coverage of events as they occur also provides powerful feedback that influences events.This can have harmful results,as it seemed on that Wednesday night in Los Angeles.By Friday night the public got to see Rodney King on television pleading,"Can we all get along?"By Saturday,television seemed to provide positive feedback as the Los Angeles riot turned out into a rally for peace.The television showed thousands of people marching with banners and cleaning tools.Because of that,many more people turned out to join the peaceful event they saw unfolding（展开）on television.The real healing , of course , will take much longer , but electronic media will continue to be a part of that process.

The 1992 Los Angeles riots broke out because______.
A:the jury acquitted the policemen who had beaten Rodney King
B:people can make their own judgements
C:video coverage from helicopters had made people angry
D:video coverage had provided powerful feedback

答案：A
解析：
文章标题为“Media and Current Events"，而且第一段第一句提到“The media can impactcurrent events."随后又从正、反两个方面说明了媒体对时事的影响。由此可知，本篇文章最恰当的标题应为媒体对时事的影响，因此选择B项。
在第一段第三句“Some of these events were given national media coverage in the press andon TV.”中，" these events”指的是上一句中的在Berkeley校园中发生的事。由此可知，发生在Berkeley校园中的事件只有部分被国家媒体报道。
根据第二段第三句“Television and telephone communications are linking people to a globalvillage , or what one writer calls the electronic city.”可知，电视和电话把全球的人们联系在一起，成为一个地球村，有作家称之为电子城。由“village”的修饰词“global”不难推测出该电子城指的就是地球。
根据第三段第二、三句可知，1992年的事件是由Rodney King被打案中的裁决引发的，当公众能够从媒体获取信息时，就会作出自己的判断，进而对陪审团裁定涉事警员无罪感到不满。这才导致了事件恶化，直至最后演变为暴动。
第二段主要表明，电视与电话使全球人民的联系更为紧密：1989年的视频播报再现了旧金山地震时的火灾与救援现场；电视媒体对伊拉克战争进行了及时报道;CNN媒体让世界各地的人们对媒体事件耳闻目睹。第三段则主要表明，1992年的媒体报道引发了暴乱。由此可知，媒体报道是把双刃剑，对时事既有好的影响，也有坏的影响。

解 析：推理判断题。最后一段作者分析了人们为什么老是喜欢新的事物，因为旧的事物我们了解了，有局限性，而新的事物会带给我们更多我们没想到的。根据作者在 购物的过程中，最终选择了试用自己最初的照相机，所以得出作者的观点是：我们并不需要了解很多新的东西，只要达到自己的最初的要求就行。

Craig Rogers was sitting on his surfboard, scanning（审视）the distance for his next wave, when his board suddenly stopped moving._________(46)"I could have touched its eye with my elbow（肘部）,"says Craig. The shark had surfaced so quietly that he hadn't heard a thing.
In his horror and confusion,he waved his arms and accidentally cut two of his fingers on the shark's teeth.He then slid off the opposite side of his surfboard into the water. Then,with Craig in the water and blood flowing from his fingers,the five-meter-long shark simply swam away,_______(47)
Although sharks are often categorized as killers that hunt and eat as many humans as they can, this is actually inaccurate.Sharks very rarely kill humans.A person has a greater chance of being struck by lightning or drowning（淹死）in a bath than of being killed by a shark. Only 74 people have been reported killed by great whites in the last century.But great white sharks can reach six meters in length and weigh 2,200 kilograms or more.With frightening jaws that can hold up to
3,000 teeth arranged in several rows,they could very easily kill and eat a helpless human in the water.________(48)Shark researchers are trying to comprehend the reasons that allow people to escape without being eaten.
The most common explanation is that great whites don't see well._________(49)There is reason to doubt this,however. Recent information shows that great whites can actually see very well. Also,when attacking seals,great whites shoot up to the surface and bite with great force.When approaching humans,however,_________(50)They soon discover that humans are not a high一fat meal."They spit us out because we're too bony,"says Aidan Martin,director of Reef Quest Center for Shark Research.
Shark researchers like Martin hypothesize that great whites are actually curious animals that like to investigate things.It's possible that they use their bite not only to kill and eat,but also to gather information.Although such an experience is unlucky for people like Craig Rogers,when sharks bite surfboards or other objects or people,they are likely just trying to learn what they are.

_________（50）
A:disappearing into the water below.
B:Why is it,then,that most people survive attacks by great whites?
C:they most often move in slowly and bite less hard.
D:There is reason to doubt that great whites see well enough to attack humans.
E:It has been thought that they mistake people for the seals or sea lions which make up a large part of their diet.
F:He looked down and was terrified to see a great white shark biting the front of his board.

答案：C
解析：
“F.He looked down and was terrified to see a great white shark biting the front of his board.”前一句说：······就在这时冲浪板不动了。F在句意上是接着这一句的。意为“他低头向水下看，惊悚的一幕出现了：一条大白鲨正在撕咬冲浪板的前端。
前面说the five-meter-long shark simply swam away(这条五米长的鲨鱼却径直游开),因此"A.disappearing into the water below”符合逻辑。
" B.Why is it, then , that most people survive attacks by great whites ?"起承上启下的作用。前一句讲到它们可以轻易杀死并吃掉无助的落水者。该句的意思是：“但为什么大多数人受到大白鲨攻击之后都能鲨口逃生呢？”接着说，鲨鱼研究者们正在努力寻找使得人类鲨口脱险的原因。
"E.It has been thught that they mistake people for the seals or sea lions which rnake up a large part of their diet.’前沂句讲封最常提的解释是说大白鲨的视力不好。E 项是人们认为大白鲨会把人类错当成是其主要食物来源的海豹飞或海狮。前一句是原因，后一句是结果。
“C.they most often move in slowly and bite less hard.”结合空格句的前一句，意思是：“当大白鲨在攻击海豹时，他们会迅速窜上海面，用力撕咬。但当大白鲨在攻击人类时，它们在大多数情况下会慢慢浮上海面，撕咬的力度也轻得多。”
