六、阅读理解 （共15小题，计30分）
第一节：阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A（改编）
Every morning, the newspaper chief editor(主编) holds a meeting with the reporters. They discuss the main events(事件) of the day. Reporters are then sent to cover the events.
As soon as the reporters know what to write about, they get down to work. They telephone people and fix a time for a face-to-face interview with them. Sometimes they do telephone interviews. Checking information is very important. They go to the newspaper’s own library to look up any information that they need. This is called “doing one’s homework”.
At the same time, the picture editor decides which photographs will be used for the next day’s paper. All the people who work on a newspaper must be able to work fast. Reporters have to stop working on one story and start working at once on the important new one. They must find out the new information as quickly as possible. Later in the day, everything is put together at the news desk. Reporters return, type their stories into the computer and hand them to the editor.
The chief editor decides which will be the most important story on the front page. Sometimes this will have to be changed if something more important happens late in the day. Word editors read the stories which the reporters have written and make any necessary changes. m.91zhongkao.com
Finally, there is no more time left for adding new stories, and the time for printing(印刷) the newspaper has come. This is done on fast-moving printing machines. The newspapers are then delivered(发送) by truck, plane or rail. Speed is important. People want to buy the latest newspaper; nobody wants to buy yesterday’s.

During the financial crisis（金融危机）, several of the country’s biggest banks have been forced to sell or close. This has made lots of Americans afraid to buy expensive goods.

In more than two-dozen interviews with The Associated Press across the country last month, Americans talked about their concerns, from worries about small businesses to doubts（怀疑） about simply making ends meet.（维持生计）

第二节: 请阅读下面关于杭州几个博物馆的简介及几位游客的相关信息，并按要求匹配信息，为他们选择合适的博物馆。（改编）
56. Mike is from Great Britain. He has often heard of the amazing silk which is worldwide famous. He hopes to get some more information about it.
57. Surry is a person who is very interested in the West Lake because of its fantastic sights and amazing historic stories. He expects to get more details about the spotlight.

60. Anderson is a college student who shows love to history. He would like to pay a visit to the museum which can inform him a lot about periods of Zhejiang history.
AB
There are several exhibition halls in this maze of a complex. The main gallery offers a brief look at several periods of Zhejiang history up to the Communist Revolution. Check out the gallery of Hangzhou native Chang Shuhong at the east end of the complex. Every holiday, there’re crowds of people who enter China's Wetland Museum in Hangzhou, capital of east China's Zhejiang Province. The museum receives an average of nearly 5,000 visitors per day in this summer vacation, 2010. With the exhibition area of 7,800 square meters, it consists of four wetland-themed exhibition halls.
CD
It’s not the best of museum Hangzhou has to offer, since it’s not as new as others, but in its thirty years of existence, the Tea Museum has seen quite a few improvements. The Exhibition Hall is the main attraction and takes you through the development of tea throughout the dynasties. There are teahouses for you to go into a real hike and a real home-style meal.Anything that there is to be known about West Lake can be found out here: flora, fauna, aquatic life, culture and the influence of the famed waters. The museum is easy to miss from the backside. Walk around the front to the main entrance. But don't try to climb to the top of the grassy hill that covers the structure, or one of the numerous (be of great number) guards might take you out.
EF
Here you can learn how silk is made, from the worm to bathrobe, then to silk. They've even got a large gallery of looms and several of them in use just to show how it's been done for centuries. After you're finished with the exhibits, check out the shopping area - at least here you can be confident that it's the real deal. The West Lake Expo started in 1927, and though it was not held for 75 years, it is now back to its former glory. This centrally located museum houses many pictures of Hangzhou before Liberation and also tracks those who started it all. Nowadays with the popularity of the West Lake Expo, the museum has won more and more attention.
