Question

A newspaper reporter’s job can be very interesting. He meets all types of people and lives quite a busy life. He is on the rush for news all the time, then after several years he may get a desk job, and life becomes a bit more settled. Let’s look at his work a little more closely. In a day he may have to interview the prime minister of a foreign country, and the next day he may be writing about a football match. Sometimes he may be so busy that he has hardly any time to sleep. And at other times he may go on for days looking out for news materials yet return empty-handed.

　　In the beginning, a reporter has to cover a very wide field. After the early years he becomes more specialized in his work. For example, he may finally be asked to write only on court cases or politics or sports. Some reporters may become so specialized that they are asked only to write on a special thing: horse racing, for example. In most newspaper houses there is at least one special racing correspondent. Some newspapers have book reviews. Their job is delightful. They read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they like. Then there are those who write on films, so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema. How lucky, you would say!

　　A reporter’s job can also be very dangerous. A number of them have died rushing from one assignment to another, and if there is a flood or a riot(暴亂) they may get hurt or even be killed. Three years ago there was a reporter whose camera was smashed by a group of men, because they were angry with him for taking their picture. Dangerous or not, one thing is certain, and that is, their job is never dull!

試題分析：本文敘述了記者的工作可能是有趣的，他們的生活非常忙碌，起初記者必須涵蓋非常廣泛的領域。幾年之后，才具體做某項工作，記者的工作也有時是非常危險的。

1.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)He meets all types of people and lives quite a busy life.可推出是匆忙地，故選C。

2.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Then there are those who write on films, so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema.故選B。

3.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)if there is a flood or a riot(暴亂) they may get hurt or even be killed. 當有洪水和出現(xiàn)暴亂時記者有可能有危險，故選D。

4.推理判斷題。根據(jù)A reporter’s job can also be very dangerous. 可知記者必須要勇敢；根據(jù)文中所述可知只有選項C不能推出，故選C。

考點：科普類短文閱讀。

點評：細節(jié)理解題可以分為集中型細節(jié)理解題和分散型細節(jié)理解題。集中型：就文章的單個細節(jié)提問，答案在原文中出現(xiàn)的位置一般也位于單句話或幾句話中。因為具體細節(jié)不同，出題形式千變?nèi)f化，因題而異。分散型：題目涉及到文章某一段或幾段，甚至貫穿全文的各個位置，需要考生尋找文章中的多個細節(jié)。請注意，分散型細節(jié)理解題并不意味著題目的正確答案出現(xiàn)在文章的不同位置，正確答案往往也是關于文章的某一個句子或細節(jié)。只是說文章的干擾選項是關于不同的細節(jié)，需要我們在定位的時候閱讀某一個區(qū)域。
