A. 补全短文 根据短文内容，从短文后的A—F选项中，选出5个适当的选项补全短文。（共5小题；每小题1分，计5分）
As editors（编辑）of The New York Times opinion page, we decide which articles to publish, but that's only part of our job. We also improve the articles before they are printed. Readers often ask, "What exactly do editors do?" 1 E The best way to explain is to walk through the process step by step.
Imagine you send us an article. You'll be told that we'll contact（联系）you once it's ready for publication. 2 A When your article moves to the next step, an editor will start working on it.
First, the editor corrects grammar and spelling mistakes, and checks if your article follows style rules（e.g., capital letters）. If there's limited（受限制的）space, we may shorten it.
Next, we check names, dates, quotes（引语）, and arguments. If something isn't supported by facts from trusted sources like The New York Times, we'll discuss it with you. 3 D
Beyond grammar and accuracy（准确性）, we also focus on making your writing clear. 4 F We might also remove unrelated parts or change paragraph order. If the language is too difficult, we might suggest simpler words.
The editor will then send the edited version（版本）to you. Every change is a suggestion, not an order. If something doesn't work for you, we can work together to find a better solution. 5 C
And yes—even this article was edited. Most changes were accepted... but not all!
A. This could take days, weeks, or even months.
B. We may also add pictures to make the article more interesting.
C. Only after you've agreed with the edits will your article be printed.
D. Our goal is to keep your opinions while ensuring they match real facts.
E. It's important to know that we edit, but even more important to know how we edit.
F. To make your article as clear as possible, we might add connecting words like "however".
