第一节 完形填空(共15小题,每小题1分,满分15分)
I sat alone in the newsroom and kept thinking:"How could a reporter use a fake headline(假标题)?"
Olivia and I worked in our school newspaper The Beacon and we were 35 there. With fewer readers reading the newspaper, how to make it popular again became our headache.
Days ago, Mr Winston asked 36 to go to his office. "Olivia, Mia, I hear our school dining hall has made some changes. Take the chance and write a report about it. It might make people 37."
Olivia and I walked into the dining hall. We noticed a new food line. "38 did the dining hall set up a new line?" asked Olivia. "It's for students with food allergies. If they eat the wrong food, they could get ill," a worker came up and explained. "We try our best to keep them 39." I was touched and started taking notes.
When we left the dining hall, Olivia 40 my notebook. "I got a perfect headline! 'DINING HALL ALMOST POISONS(毒害) STUDENTS'!"
"What? That's 41 the fact! Give my notebook back!" I shouted.
Olivia refused. "If we 42 get more students reading it, The Beacon might close down! This headline can make a difference. It's not real 43 it's a way to stop The Beacon from dying!"
...
Suddenly, Mr Winston came into the newsroom. His voice brought me back from the memory(回忆). "Mia, have you completed your 44?"
I shook my head and told him what happened between Olivia and me.
"You're right! 45 wants to read a fake headline," Mr Winston encouraged. With his words, I was even more 46 of my idea. I wrote down a new headline immediately: "THE HIDDEN HEROES OF OUR DINING HALL".
Finally, the paper came out. Many students did read it! "I never knew about the 47 behind the special food line," one wrote to us. Mr Winston smiled at me, "You 48 The Beacon!"
"I just did what a real reporter would do!" I said 49.

【分析】
做完形填空需遵循“先通览全文明主旨，再逐空分析找依据”的思路：首先快速通读全文，把握文章核心——作者Mia与Olivia作为校报记者，因报纸读者少想办法提升关注度，Olivia曾提议用假标题，Mia坚持新闻真实性，最终写出真实报道让报纸受欢迎，强调新闻的责任与真实性。接着逐空分析时，结合上下文语境、词汇词义辨析、逻辑关系，排除不符合的选项，选出最贴合语境的答案。
【解析】
35. 根据前文“How could a reporter use a fake headline?”及后文“worked in our school newspaper”可知，作者和Olivia是校报记者，选C（reporters）。
36. Mr Winston对Olivia和“我”（两人）说话，用us指代两人，选A（us）。
37. 前文提到报纸读者少，想让报纸受欢迎，因此报道要让人们感兴趣，选D（interested）。
38. 后文回答“为食物过敏学生设窗口”，是在解释原因，故用Why提问，选B（Why）。
39. 食物过敏学生吃错食物会生病，食堂需保障他们的安全，选A（safe）。
40. Olivia要拿笔记本想标题，是“拿走”我的笔记本，选C（took away）。
41. 假标题违背事实，against表示“违背”，选D（against）。
42. 若“不能”让更多学生读报，报纸可能关闭，选A（can't）。
43. 假标题不是真的，但能阻止报纸倒闭，是转折关系，选D（but）。
44. Mr Winston问是否完成报道的“文章”，选B（article）。
45. 没人会想读假标题，选A（Nobody）。
46. Mr Winston的话让我更“确定”自己的想法，be sure of是固定搭配，选B（sure）。
47. 特殊窗口的“目的”是帮助食物过敏学生，选C（purpose）。
48. 报纸因真实报道受欢迎，“拯救”了校报，选B（saved）。
49. 作者坚持新闻真实性，完成正确的事，“骄傲地”回应，选C（proudly）。
