It’s all in a day’s work for a war reporter, and it can be very 4  . In the first two years of the  5  in former Yugoslavia(前南斯拉夫), 28 reporters and photographers were killed. Hundreds more were 6  .

What kind of people put themselves in danger to  7  pictures to our TV screens and  48  to our newspapers? Why do they do it ?

“I think it’s every young journalist’s 9  to be a foreign reporter,” says Michael Nicholson, “that’s  10  you find the excitement. So when the first opportunity comes, you take it  11  it is a war.”

But there are moments of  12 . Jeremy Bowen says, “Yes, when you’re lying on the ground and bullets(子弹)are flying  13  your ears, you think: ‘What am I doing here? I’m not going to do this again.’ But that feeling  14 after a while and when the next war starts, you’ll be  15  .”

“None of us believes that we’re going to  16  ” adds Michael. But he always 17 a lucky charm(护身符)with him. It was given to him by his wife for his first war. It’s a card which says “Take care of yourself.” Does he ever think about dying? “Oh, 18  , and every time it happens you look to the sky and say to God, ‘If you get me out of this, I  19  I’ll never do it again.’ You can almost hear God  20  , because you know he doesn’t believe you .”

I’m not going to do this again 可知,记者们也有“害怕”的时候。选B。 13.考查介词:子弹从耳边飞过,用past,即指从耳朵旁边飞过。注意不能用through,因为它是指“穿过”“穿透”。选A。 14.考查动词:句中的but使句意发生转折,前面说有时也有害怕的时候,后面经but转折后,应该这种感觉一会儿就过去了。(答此题时要注意围绕“当驻外记者是每个年轻记者的梦想”这一主题。)选C。 15.考查副词:此处指的是害怕的感觉过去后,当下一场战争爆发的时候,你又会出现在那里。选C。 16.考查动词:由下文可知,他们随身带着护身符,所以他们不相信他们会死(die)。选A。 17.考查动词:比较:wear 穿,戴;carry 带,携带。 hang 悬挂;hold 握住,拿住;因其后的宾语是 a lucky charm(护身符),显然只有 carry 最合适。选B。 18.考查上下文串联:比较四个选项,再结合空格后的every time,选C最佳。 19.考查名词:向上帝祈求,当然是说“我保证”或“我发誓”,故选A最佳。 20.考查动词:由于战地记者们在“退出”这个问题上总是说话不算数,所以当上帝再次听到他们保证的时候,上帝便会“发笑”了。选A。 考点:考查故事类短文
