4．On March 28th，the New York Times will begin charging all but the most infrequent users to read articles online．
In a letter to readers，Arthur Sulzberger，Jr．，the publisher of the paper，laid out the details of the paywall，which he said will go into effect immediately in Canada and on March 28th for the rest of the world．He called the move"an important step that we hope you will see as an investment in the Times，one that will strengthen our ability to provide high-quality journalism to readers around the world and on any platform．"
Sulzberger said that readers will be able to read 20 articles per month at no charge．Once they click on the 21st piece，however，they'll be presented with three payment options：15 for four weeks of online and mobile application access，20 for access to the site and the iPad application，or   35 for access to everything．People who already receive the printed paper through home delivery will enjoy free and unlimited access to the Times on all platforms．
These details largely agree with earlier reports on how the paywall would work．The Times had made it clear that it did not want to imitate the total paywalls put into effect by papers such as The Times of London and Newsday，which block access to all contents unless the reader pays．
The paper also signaled that it wants to stay relevant in the social media world．According to Sulzberger's announcement，people who come to the Times site from Facebook，Twitter or from blogs will be able to read those articles even if they have gone over their monthly limit．
However，Sulzberger said that a limit will be placed on"some search engines"，meaning that after readers have accessed a certain number of articles from search engines，any futher articles they access from there will be added to their monthly count．It was reported that the only search engine that will be affected this way is Google，where there will be a five-article limit．This marks a clear attempt by the Times to close what could be a giant loophole （漏洞），since so much online traffic is directed through Google．But it also presents a risk for the Times for the same reason．
Sulzberger seems well aware of the risk．"The challenge now is to put a price on our work without walling ourselves off from the global network，"he said，adding that the Times must"continue to engage with the widest possible audience．"
67．The author's main purpose in the text is toC．
A．describe research findings                        
B．make advertisements
C．report a piece of news                            
D．suggest a solution
68．Why will the Times charge their online readers？D
A．It wants to stay relevant in the social media world．
B．It has too many readers coming from the other sites．
C．It is trying a way to offer better service to its readers．
D．It is seeking new financial sources for its development．
69．Who will be limited to the New York Times articles？C
A．Those subscribing to the printed newspapers．
B．Readers clicking through from Facebook．
C．Those using Google research engine．
D．Readers paying   35 a month．
70．What challenge may the paywall bring to the New York Times？C
A．It may bring the Times more competition with the other media．
B．It may stop the Times connecting to the global network．
C．It may result in huge drops in papers'online readership．
D．It may block the readers from the other websites．

分析 文章介紹紐約時(shí)報(bào)將開始對(duì)除了最稀少的用戶之外的人收費(fèi)閱讀文章，文章引用Sulzberger的話，介紹收費(fèi)的原因，收費(fèi)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，以及這樣做給泰晤士報(bào)帶來的挑戰(zhàn)．

解答 CDCC
67．C主旨大意題．根據(jù)第一段的句子：On March 28th，the New York Times will begin charging all but the most infrequent users toread articles online．可知這篇文章是告訴大家一個(gè)消息：紐約時(shí)報(bào)將開始向除了最稀少的用戶之外的所有的人都收費(fèi)閱讀文章，故選C．
68．D細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段的句子：He called themove"an important step that we hope you will see as an investment in theTimes，one that will strengthen our ability to provide high-quality journalismto readers around the world and on any platform．"可知泰晤士報(bào)向網(wǎng)上用戶收費(fèi)是為了更好的發(fā)展，故選D．
69．C細(xì)節(jié)判斷題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的句子：It wasreported that the only search engine that will be affected this way is Google，where there will be a five-article limit．可知被限制閱讀泰晤士報(bào)文章的人是使用谷歌搜索引擎的人，故選C．
70．C推理判斷題．根據(jù)最后一段的句子：Sulzberger seems well aware of the risk．"The challenge now is to put a price on our work without walling ourselves off from the global network，"可知蘇茲貝格似乎深諳風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，并說："現(xiàn)在的挑戰(zhàn)是給我們的工作定價(jià)，而不要讓自己脫離全球網(wǎng)絡(luò)"．由此推知，這樣做會(huì)導(dǎo)致網(wǎng)上的用戶數(shù)量下降，故選C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀這類文章時(shí)，也應(yīng)該在整體把握文章結(jié)構(gòu)的前提下，主要注意細(xì)節(jié)信息．細(xì)節(jié)題題干都是相應(yīng)原文的變形（如同義改寫、詞性轉(zhuǎn)換等），因此要找到答案一定要找到題干在原文中的出處，再把原文和選項(xiàng)相比較．做題時(shí)，根據(jù)所提問題用尋讀、跳讀的方法可達(dá)到事半功倍的效果．

1．In the remote corner of the country a meteorological （氣象的） station was set up．Next to the station was the manager's house．Apart from looking after the instruments，his job consisted of writing accurate reports on the state of the weather so that，should questions be asked，the authorities would not be at a loss but have the necessary information at hand．
The manager was a most conscientious young man．He wrote his reports in a neat hand and always truthfully．If it rained he would not rest until he had described the rain from every possible angle：when，how much，for how long…
Towards the end of the summer，storms became frequent and they brought rain with them．He described them truthfully in detail，and sent his reports to the head offices．The storms continued．
One day he had a visit from an old and experienced colleague，who remarked casually before leaving："I wonder，my friend，if your reports aren't a bit on the depressing side．"
"What do you mean？"The manager was surprised．"You can see with your eyes that it's pouring rain．"
"Yes，yes．Of course，everybody can see that．But you do understand，don't you，that we must approach the problem scientifically．Mind you，it's none of my business．I just mentioned it out of friendship．"
The young manager was left alone and continued compiling his reports．He gazed at the sky with some anxiety，but he went on writing．
About that time he received an unexpected summon （傳喚） from his higher authority．The authority received him in a lovely house．Rain was drumming on the roof．
"We've summoned you，"announced the authority，"because we are surprised by one side nature of your reports．For some time now they've been affected by a pessimistic note．The harvest is on the way，and you keep on talking about rain．Don't you understand the responsible nature of your work？"
"But it keeps on raining…"said the manager．
The authority said angrily，"We have here all your recent reports．You are a good worker，but I want you to understand that we shan't tolerate any defeatism!"
The following day the weather improved．He was delighted and immediately wrote his report："The rain has stopped completely and it has to be admitted that it has never rained very much．Just a few drops now and again．But now，what sunshine!"
Indeed，the sun had broken through the clouds； it became warm and the earth was steaming．The manager went about his duties happily．In the afternoon clouds began to gather once more，driven by a cold wind．The time for his next report came and he wrote："The sun behaves as usual．Already Copernicus has demonstrates that the setting of the sun is only apparent．In reality it always shines，only…"
At this point he broke off，feeling very unhappy．When the first lightning struck，he shook off his opportunism and wrote simply："17：00Thunderstorms．"
The next day brought another storm．He reported it．The day after，no storm，but hail （冰雹）．He reported it．A strange calm，even a feeling of satisfaction，came over him．It lasted until the postman brought him another summon．This time it was from the Central Authority．
When he returned from the capital there were no doubts in his mind．For several days he reported bright，sunny weather．Occasionally his reports struck a dialectical （辯證的） tone．For instance："Occasional showers have caused certain flooding，but nothing can break the fighting spirit of the soldiers"．
More reports followed with descriptions of fine weather．Two months later he wrote a report puzzling the authority．An investigation discovered that he had written the report while under the influence of alcohol purchased with money obtained from the sale of his meteorological instruments．
Thereafter nothing disturbed the sunny weather in his district．He was killed by lightning while walking round the fields，with a miraculous bell in his hand，trying to drive away the clouds．
67．The manager's friend actually asked him to handle the problem byD．
A．using a method based on science
B．predicting possible changes
C．studying carefully
D．performing a trick
68．To the authority，weather reports were to be given probably for the purpose ofA．
A．meeting the expectations of the farmers
B．promising the farmers a good harvest
C．urging the farmers to get in their crops
D．proving the accuracy of their forecasts
69．The underlined word"pessimistic"in Paragraph 9means"B"．
A．wishing something unusual to happen
B．expecting something bad to happen
C．doubting whether it will be true
D．hoping it is out of someone's favor
70．The manager wrote his weather reportsA．
A．honestly
B．contradictory
C．a(chǎn)mbiguously
D．impatiently．

12．For most families，a long car journey is the bane of any trip．But for the Zapps，their 83-year-old vehicle has been a home for the past 11 years，as the couple travel around the world on a never ending trip of a lifetime，covering 142，000 miles over four continents．
Herman and Candelaria Zapp，who got married to each other in 1996 and to their journey in 2000，set off from Patagonia，Argentina，heading for Alaska．They came back to Argentina in 2004，but settled there only for a couple of weeks，before deciding the open road is the only way to live．They have been traveling ever since，with a trip around South America between 2005 and 2007，then central America，the U．S．a(chǎn)nd Canada until 2009．The car was shipped to Australia，New Zealand，Japan and South Korea as they traveled those countries and they are currently in the Philippines on a tour of South East Asia．
As a proof that life is possible in such a mobile style，the family of the two slowly grew to a number of six．They became，over the years and while on the road，parents to four children，Pampa （eight），Tehue （five），Paloma （three） and Wallaby （one）．Remarkably，each of their kids has a different nationality．
"My grandfather knew that we wanted to travel and to never stop so he gave me the old Graham-Paige car he used on his farm，"Herman said．Each night the six Zapps either sleep in or around a tent set up next to their car，but more often than not they find a friendly local who will put them up for the night．The only hard rule the couple have to stick by is the 40mph speed limit the 83-year old car is restricted to．
Their trip is supported with the money coming from selling books they write about the places they visit．
 
71．Which word has a similar meaning to the underlined word"bane"in the first paragraph？D
