【題目】 A woman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a church-goer might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco.

Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. It’s extremely attractive and also memorable, to the point that it has become a problem.

In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their patrons (資助人). So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out "photo free" hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.

One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have; a hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complex for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be "a photo-taking playland. " Yet a lot of people do and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $28 ticket to be more valid than another. "If we removed social media and photography," she says, "we would risk becoming irrelevant. "

【1】What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph 1?

A. To get her phone.B. To take a photo.

C. To escape the crowd.D. To push ahead.

【2】How did the de Young respond to the dilemma?

A. By setting periods without photo-taking.

B. By making the exhibition free of charge.

C. By compromising with the government.

D. By extending the free exhibition hours.

【3】The recent study finds that the use of social media in museums may .

A. uncover the truth

B. play a negative role

C. accumulate evidence

D. cause many complaints

【4】Which of the following may Linda Butler support?

A. Catering to visitors.

B. Reducing admission prices.

C. Reserving judgement in public.

D. Banning social media and photography.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】B

【4】A

【解析】

本文是說明文，介紹了一家博物館收到了很多人的抱怨，抱怨者們紛紛稱已經(jīng)影響了他們的看展體驗(yàn)，因?yàn)榕恼盏挠闪艘恍┤巳ゲ┪镳^的巨大動(dòng)力，也成了另外一些老顧客心煩的原因。于是，該博館物采取了一個(gè)折中的辦法：在展期內(nèi)抽出“無(wú)拍照”時(shí)間。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“She was anxious to take a picture of a bunch of flowers”可知，女人非常渴望拍照，故B項(xiàng)正確。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句“So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.”可知，面對(duì)人們的抱怨，博物館采取了一個(gè)折中的辦法：在展期內(nèi)抽出“無(wú)拍照”時(shí)間，故A項(xiàng)正確。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第一句“One common complaint in the ongoing debates over the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them.”可知，在社交媒體對(duì)博物館文化影響的爭(zhēng)論中，一個(gè)常見的抱怨是，人們似乎錯(cuò)過了體驗(yàn)，因?yàn)樗麄兲τ谑占C據(jù)，也就是社交媒體的使用在參觀博物館過程中起消極的作用，故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段倒數(shù)第二句“If we removed social media and photography”, she says, “we would risk becoming less popular.”可知，她認(rèn)為，如果限制適用社交媒體和拍照，博物館可能變得不那么受歡迎，由此可知，Linda Butler認(rèn)為博物館要迎合游客，故選A。

關(guān)于觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度的推理判斷題難度較大，緊緊抓住人物在文章中所說的話是關(guān)鍵，例如本篇第4題，根據(jù)第四段倒數(shù)第二句Linda Butler 所說的“If we removed social media and photography”, she says, “we would risk becoming less popular.”可知，她認(rèn)為，如果限制適用社交媒體和拍照，博物館可能變得不那么受歡迎，言外之意，Linda Butler認(rèn)為博物館要迎合游客。

【題目】Mom noticed that something was wrong when I started getting so thirsty. I’d have a lot to drink before bed, which was unusual for me. One time, I opened a big container of apple juice and kept refilling my glass. Before I knew it, I’d drunk the entire container! My mom called my doctor. I then had a few blood tests, and the results were certain — I had diabetes (糖尿病), which meant that the amount of sugar in my blood was very high. That can be dangerous, so I had to learn how to control my blood-sugar level.

My eating habits had to change in a big way. With diabetes, I can’t eat a lot of sugar or carbohydrates (碳水化合物). I have to figure out exactly how much sugar I plan to eat, and then I get an injection of insulin (注射胰島素) before the meal to help my body process the food. Also, I test my blood-sugar level often. I’m always trying to keep my blood sugar at a healthy level. The level can drop when I exercise, but that doesn’t keep me out of gym class or off the basketball court — I just keep some juice boxes around to boost my blood sugar if I need to.

It’s a lot of work and not a lot of fun to keep track of everything, but I’ve gotten used to my new habits. I was a little scared at first because I wasn’t sure how my life would change. Once I knew what I needed to do, though, it wasn’t a big deal. My life is different now from what it was before, but it has become completely regular to me.

【1】The first paragraph is mainly about ________.

A. who found the author had diabetes

B. the author’s life before having diabetes

C. the author’s eating habits before having diabetes

D. how the author was found to have diabetes

【2】What did the author do after knowing she had diabetes?

A. She stopped playing basketball in the gym.

B. She controlled her blood-sugar level strictly.

C. She stopped eating food with natural sugar.

D. She tested her blood-sugar level before every meal.

【3】Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The author felt upset about the disease at first.

B. There is no need for the author to control the disease.

C. Exercise has no effects on the blood-sugar level.

D. It’s hard for the author to get used to the new life.

【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards her having diabetes now?

A. Worried. B. Frightened. C. Positive. D. Pessimistic.

【題目】 Anecdotal evidence has long held that creativity in artists and writers can be associated with living in foreign parts. Rudyard Kipling, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Paul Gauguin, Samuel Beckett and others spent years living abroad. Now a pair of psychologist has proven that there is indeed a link.

As they report in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, William Maddux of INSEAD, a business school in Fontainebleau, France, and Adam Galinsky, of the Kellogg School of Management in Chicago, presented 155 American business students and 55 foreign ones studying in America with a test used by psychologists as a measure of creativity Given a candle, some matches and a box of drawing pins, the students were asked to attach the candle to a cardboard wall so that no wax would drip on the floor when the candle was lit. (The solution is to use the box as a candleholder and fix it to the wall with the pin.) They found 60% of the students who were either living abroad or had spent some time doing so, solved the problem, whereas only 42% of those who had not lived abroad did so.

A follow-up study with 72 Americans and 36 foreigners explored their creative negotiating skills. Pairs of students were asked to play the role of seller of a petrol station who then needed to get a job and a buyer who would need to hire staff to run the business. The two were likely to reach a deadlock because the buyer had been told he could not afford what the seller was told was his minimum price. Nevertheless, when both negotiators had lived abroad 70 % struck a deal in which the seller was offered a management job at the petrol station in return for a lower asking price. When neither of the negotiators had lived abroad, none was able to reach a deal.

Merely travelling abroad, however, was not enough. You do have to live there. Packing your beach towel and suntan lotion will not, by itself make you Hemingway.

【1】What is the purpose of mentioning the famous names in the opening paragraph?

A. To show the relationship between creativity and living abroad.

B. To indicate the link between artistic creation and life experience.

C. To emphasize how great these artists are.

D. To impress the importance of creativity.

【2】What can be inferred from the text?

A. William Maddux and Adam Galinsky have carefully designed the test.

B. Negotiators who had lived abroad are more flexible in negotiating.

C. American business students are less creative than those oversea students.

D. One's creativity is associated with the length one has spent abroad.

【3】What does the author mean in the last sentence of paragraph 4?

A. There exist sharp differences between travelling and living abroad.

B. You shouldn't lie on the beach when travelling.

C. Only real experience of living abroad can help drive creativity.

D. Living abroad is more meaningful than just travelling abroad.

【4】Where is the text most likely from?

A. A diary.B. A magazine.

C. A novel.D. A guidebook.

【題目】 Until the 1990s coffee was rarely served in China except at luxury hotels aimed at foreigners. When Starbucks opened its first outlet there in 1999, it was far from clear that the country’s avid tea-drinkers would take to such a different-and usually more costly- source of caffeine. Starbucks tried to attract customers unused to coffee’s bitter taste by promoting milk and sugar-heavy concoctions(調(diào)和) such as Frappuccinos.

But coffee has become fashionable among the middle class in China. Starbucks now has about 3, 800 outlets in China- more than in any other country outside America. Statista, a business-intelligence portal(門戶網(wǎng)站), says the roast coffee market in China is growing by more than 10 % a year. Starbucks and its rivals see big opportunities for expanding there.

So too, however, do home-grown competitors. A major new presence is Luckin Coffee, Beijing- based chain. Since its founding less than two years ago, it has opened more than 2,300 outlets. On May 17th Luckin’s initial public offering on the Nasdaq stockmarket raised more than $570m, giving it a value of about $4bn.

Luckin’s remarkable growth is sign of change. No longer do Chinese consumers see coffee as such a luxury. Most of Luckin’s outlets are merely kiosks where busy white-collar workers pick up their drinks, having ordered them online. Super-fast delivery can also be arranged through the company’s app. Independent coffee shops are springing up. The growth is striking given the country’s reputation for its tea-drinking culture where many residents like to relax in teahouses sipping tea served gracefully.

But the two markets are different. The teahouses tend to cater to older people who like to spend long hours playing mahjong and gossiping. At the coffee shops it is rare to see anyone over 40. Young people use them for socialising, but much of their interaction is online -sharing photos of their drinks and of the coffee-making equipment. An option on the Chinese rating app Dianping allows users to search for wanghong ("internet viral") coffee houses: ones with particularly photogenic decor(照片裝飾) where better to sip and We Chat?

【1】How did Starbucks try to appeal to Chinese consumers?

A.By reducing the price slightly.B.By introducing the benefits of coffee.

C.By making coffee taste not so bitter.D.By promoting its products effectively.

【2】What does Luckin Coffee’s growth suggest?

A.People tend to like coffee’s bitter taste.

B.People’s views on coffee-drinking have changed.

C.People in China can afford coffee now.

D.Tea is no longer part of Chinese culture.

【3】What does the underlined word “kiosks” in paragraph 4 mean?

A.Places where people can drink beer.

B.Restaurants where food can be taken away.

C.Shops aimed at people who like drinking coffee.

D.Small shops or stores where newspapers and drinks are sold.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Coffee is taking off in China.

B.Tea-drinking is not popular.

C.Coffee or tea, which do you prefer?

D.Coffee has become people’s favorite in China.
