    Things We Know about TV

    We keep reading that TV is bad for you.If this is true,how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are?In my home,the only people who can work the remote control are the children.
    Perhaps TV does educate you.For example,you learn a useful medical fact:A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies.“The killer was…” (dies).
    But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as"Life Skills".Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights.Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas.And contrary to what scientists say,the crack(霹雳)of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time,wherever you are.
    Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security.Consider these truths.If you are ever attacked by 20 bad guys,don't worry about being outnumbered.The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all.
    TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. Watch and learn.If anyone is running after you down a passage,you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. If you are tall and handsome,you can run from any number of armed criminals,and every shot will miss you.
    Be warned, however. If your name card says "henchman"(帮凶)and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying' to catch a handsome individual,a single shot will kill you.
    TV even teaches us about TV.Whenever anyone turns on a TV,it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.

    By saying"A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies"(Paragraph 2),the writer shows his_________.
    A:humor
    B:sympathy
    C:deep concern
    D:medical knowledge

    答案:A
    解析:
    细节题。第二段第二句:你学到了一个有用的医学事实:被枪击的人总是在他死前有时间说出一句不完整的话。这句话明显是体现了幽默,有着讽刺的意味。B选项 sympathy“同情”、C选项deep concern“非常关心”、D选项medical knowledge“医学知识”都是错误的。
    细节题。第三段很多是电视中的情景,根据作者幽默讽刺的语气可知现实生活不一定是这样的。最后一句指出,闪电的霹雳声与相伴的闪其实不是同时发生的。
    细节题。最后一段可知:任何时候一个人打开电视,它就会显示一则关于他们知道的人的新闻快讯。
    推断题。通篇阅读后可知,作者以幽默、讽刺的手法描写了电视,可以得知,作者对电视持消极的态度。A选项“积极的”、B选项“轻松的”、D选项“漠不关心的”都是错误的。
    主旨题。A、B、C都和作者态度相反,只有D选项是正确的,本文大意是电视上演的与现实生活是不同的。

    It is directly associated with her moods.

    B

    It can make her feel depressed.

    C

    It has made her very famous.


    正确答案: C
    解析:
    对话中女士提到她的这种特异功能会让她感觉到自己的心情,比如说,当她感到压抑时就会看到灰色,由此可推断她的这种功能与心情直接相关。

  • 第11题:

    单选题
    From the text we learn that the laser can ______.

    cut a structure from a right position

    B

    design parts of a complex structure

    C

    measure the distance between planets

    D

    predict the movement of earth’s plates


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    推断题。从原文第三段第三句话“The laser beam has also been used to measure remote distances,for example,the precise distance from the Earth to the Moon.”可知,利用激光还可以测量更远的距离,比如说地球和月亮之间的精确距离。通过语义转换,激光可以用作测量星球之间距离的工具,故正确的答案为C。

  • 第12题:

    单选题
    What do we learn about Ana Castro from the last paragraph?

    She will be deported sooner or later.

    B

    She is allowed to stay permanently.

    C

    Her case has been dropped.

    D

    Her fate remains uncertain.


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    细节题。根据对尾段倒数第二句进行细节推断。Castro的案件有待最终审理,无法确定她最终是会被驱逐出境还是被允许留在美国,故选D。A项缺乏依据;C项与原文相反。B项是根据文章尾句设置的干扰选项。“While she awaits the outcome”表Castro只是被允许在最终结案之前在美国停留一段时间,并非长期,故排除B。

  • 第13题:

    C

    Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego(UCSD) for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book, “Versed”.

    “I’m delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win,” said Armantrout.

    “For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising.”

    Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor’s degree at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master’s in creative writing from San Francisco State University. She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.

    In March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for “Versed.”

    “This book has gotten more attention,” Armantrout said, “but I don’t feel as if it’s better.”

    The first half of “Versed” focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.

    Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not. “Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry,” said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.

    “Versed”, published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.

    66. According to Rae Armantrout, ____________.

    A. her 10th book is much better

    B. her winning the Pulitzer is unexpected

    C. the media is surprised at her works

    D. she likes being recognized by her readers


    正确答案:B

    细节理解题。根据文章第二段的叙述可知,Armantrout对于自己获得普利策奖是很惊讶的,所以B项正确。

  • 第14题:

    Rae Armantrout’s colleagues think that she ____________.

    A. should write more

    B. has a sweet voice

    C. deserves the prize

    D. is a strange professor


    正确答案:C

    细节理解题。根据文章中的倒数第二段可知C项正确。

    答案:A
    解析:

    考 点:细节题。由文章中第一段可知母亲节是在五月,而父亲节是在六月,选项A是错误的。再来看B项,文章中第三段提到“These ale mole valued(宝贵的)than those bought in shops. ”因此是正确的。选项C文章在文中未提及。

  • 第21题:

    A

    the writer is enthusiastically supporting the National Lottery

    B

    the writer has objections to the National Lottery

    C

    the writer believes that the lottery money should be used for cancer research

    D

    the writer is just expressing her feelings about collecting money for charity


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    作者通文都在反对国家彩票,故A项是错误的;B项是正确的;C项过于片面和绝对,用于癌症研究只是彩票业收入的一个应用点;D项“只表达一下自己对为慈善事业筹钱的感受”显然不能概括作者对彩票业与慈善事业关系的看法。故选B。

  • 第22题:

    单选题
    What can we learn from the passage?
    A

    It may be difficult for the young to learn new skills.

    B

    Dogs play an important part in language and culture.

    C

    We can be successful if we learn from our own mistakes.

    D

    Dogs like the hottest days in summer very much.


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    本题是推断题。全文主要介绍了许多和狗有关的习语,由此可以看出,狗在英语文化中有着特定的含义,因此B项正确。文章说道老年人学习新技能很慢,但并没有提到有关青少年学习新的技能的事情,因此A项错误。文章第二段第三句说“想要成功,就得工作的很努力才行”,所以C项“想要成功,我们就必须从错误中吸取教训”是错误的。D项“狗非常喜欢夏天最热的那几天”文章并未提及,因此可以排除。

  • 第23题:

    lived with her family

    C

    asked her to return to work

    D

    正确答案: C
    解析:
    【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述父亲患肺炎,自己写字条给父亲,用关爱让父亲尽快恢复健康。
    推理判断题。第一段第二句提到“It was another attack of pneumonia (肺炎).”可推知,父亲是再次换上了肺,即和以前得的病一样。故选A。
