6 The third stage is the design of the layout: placing illustrations and choosing the most suitable typeface. At the last stage, we print the articles on the laser printer and pass them on to colleagues to be proof-read. After making all corrections, the files containing our next INFO are copied on to a disk and sent to our printers for publication.
Q: Below are headings showing the sages involved in printing any document. According to the
information in the passage:
write T if the stage is necessary in traditional printing;
write D if the stage is necessary with desktop publishing;
write TD if the stage is necessary in both methods.
I1 gathering input
I2 designing page frame
I3 marking text
I4 type-setting
I5 page design
I6 cutting and pasting
I7 proof-reading
解题:这里选取的是文章的第三到第六段,其中三、四两段谈论traditional printing(T),而五、六两段探讨desktop publishing(D)。在traditional printing中,首先是the gathering together of all text, photographs and graphics,其次是marking the text for theprinter,再其次then sent to the printer for type-setting,然后是have to be cut and manually pasted onto sheets of paper marked out in columns, to give the layout for each page of the magazine,最后是long and time-consuming proof-reading;而在desktop publishing中,首先是ask our contributors to send us their article on a disk,其次是design the page frame,然后是the design of the layout,最后we print the articles on the laser printer and pass them on to colleagues to be proof-read. 根据这些列出的两种印刷方法的各个步骤,我们可以准确地将上述的项目进行归类:I1 gathering input --- TD;I2 designing page frame --- D;I3 marking text --- T;I4 type-setting --- T;I5 page design --- TD;I6 cutting and pasting --- T;I7 proof-reading --- TD.
