11.I used to think that life in Jim Thorpe,Pennsylvania,was filled with never-changing routines.I hated that everyone seemed to know everything about everyone else.Everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives.I also didn't like the fact that people seemed very close-minded.I felt trapped.I felt like I was missing out on opportunities.It seemed to me that city life would be the opposite.
Then I took my first trip to New York City.I couldn't wait to experience the city.However,when I arrived in the Big Apple,it wasn't at all what I had imagined.I knew it was home to thousands of people,but I hadn't had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time.All the streets were filled with people.I also felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace.When I took the subway for the first time,I said hello to the middle-aged woman next to me.She looked at me with dislike and didn't say a word.
After just one day,I realized how important my small town is to me.Now I appreciate the familiar faces I see every day.I like the feeling of security and belonging my town offers.Jim Thorpe gives me a sense of community and togetherness that the city doesn't provide.I realize just how much a simple hello does for a stranger-it really can make your day a little better.
My big trip showed me that my small town really has instilled(注入) morals and values in me that I didn't even know I had.I would never have known what a big place my town holds in my heart if I had not taken that trip to New York City.

24.How did the author feel about life in Jim Thorpe at first?C
A.People there cared little about others.
B.People there liked to accept new things.
C.Living there was a great disadvantage.
D.There were many chances of career development.
25.What surprised the author most in New York City?D
A.The gestures of greeting.
B.The modern transportation.
C.The fast pace of life.
D.The crowded streets.
26.What made the author change his/her attitudes to his/her hometown?A
A.Travelling to New York City.
B.The familiar faces in Jim Thorpe.
C.A big place in his/her town.
D.Everybody likes talking about others.
27.What would be the best title for the passage?A
A.Love of my small town
B.A sense of community
C.A pleasant trip to New York City
D.Differences between big cities and small towns.

分析 作者開始不喜歡自己的家鄉(xiāng),認(rèn)為生活的小鎮(zhèn)一成不變,人們喜歡流言蜚語,思想閉塞,得不到機(jī)會(huì).但是一次紐約的旅行卻改變了作者的態(tài)度,他開始明白了家鄉(xiāng)的重要性,明白了自己對(duì)家鄉(xiāng)的熱愛.

解答 24.C 推理判斷題.在第一段中作者列舉了對(duì)生活在小城鎮(zhèn)的看法:一成不變,人們喜歡流言蜚語,思想閉塞,得不到機(jī)會(huì)等等,這說明作者認(rèn)為生活在Jim Thorpe這個(gè)小城鎮(zhèn)很不好,故選C.  
25.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段中的"but I hadn't had the least expectation to seeso many people on the street at one time.All the streets were filled with people"但我一點(diǎn)也沒有想到能在街上看到那么多人,街上到處都是人.可知,最讓作者感到意外的是街上擁擠的人群故選D.  
26.A 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第三段的內(nèi)容尤其是"After just one day,I realized how important my small town is to me."一天之后,我意識(shí)到我的小鎮(zhèn)對(duì)我來說是多么的重要.可知,作者開始認(rèn)為自己的家鄉(xiāng)不好,但是到紐約后才發(fā)現(xiàn)自己家鄉(xiāng)的優(yōu)點(diǎn),因此答案A項(xiàng)正確.  
27.A 主旨大意題.縱觀全文可知,作者開始不喜歡自己的家鄉(xiāng),但是到紐約的一次旅行改變了他對(duì)家鄉(xiāng)固有的看法.他開始明白了家鄉(xiāng)的重要性,明白了自己對(duì)家鄉(xiāng)的熱愛,故A項(xiàng)作標(biāo)題最佳.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是人生感悟類閱讀,考查學(xué)生對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的理解把握和推理判斷能力,做題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

19."Getting your foot in the door is like winning the lottery.It's literally like winning the lottery if you get to have a career.And I've always felt,okay,now I've gotten this shot,and I'm lucky to have gotten this shot,and if I don't do this to the best of my ability,I've wasted this incredibly golden opportunity.And that's always been what has propelled(激勵(lì)) me."
That's what Leonardo DiCaprio said in an interview and there's no denying that he has propelled himself pretty far.He starred in some of the biggest films of his generation,playing lead roles in The Aviator,Inception,The Great Gatsby and The Wolf of Wall Street.Plus,how can we forget Titanic?
Leonardo Dicaprio,the handsome man from Titanic with boyish good looks and great charm,would go on to become one of the best and most accomplished actors of his generation-one of the most popular.Yes,DiCaprio was once regarded as an actor defined entirely by his good looks,and yet-over the course of the past decade-he's managed to change people's mind.
On Sunday night,the 41-year-old actor finally took home his first Oscar (Actor in a Leading Role) for his performance in The Revenant.
To a lengthy and loud applause from the audience,DiCaprio took the stage,but he used the time to highlight a topic much bigger than himself:global warming.
DiCaprio always fights for a good cause.On Sept.26th,2015,in the Global Citizen Festival in New York City,the actor urged everyone to save the plantet and help the underprivileged(弱勢(shì)群體).
DiCaprio has been striving more not only to get the Oscar award but also to give the audience a great movie and the best performance of the role assigned to him.He knew early on-from the age of around 15-that pursuing characters with depth is more valuable than appearing in just any film,for the sake of a bigger paycheck.He put the potential of building a career in movies before any desire for fame and,more particularly,fortune.
 
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS)
78.How did DiCaprio describe his career in the interview?By comparing it to winning the lottery.
79.In the past ten years,DiCaprio successfully turned froman actor defined entirely by his good looksinto one of the best actors of his generation.

81.What has DiCaprio cherished most since he got his foot in the acting career?

6.What colour is it today?What shape is that smell?What does that pain sound like?These questions might seem like nonsense,but four people in 100might think they make perfect sense.That four percent have synesthesia,and they naturally experience certain senses together.One form of this is pairing numbers or letters with a fixed colour-a blue"1"or a red"D."Other synesthetes,people with synesthesia,may think the word"hurricane"tastes salty.Yet others with"mirror-touch synesthesia"see someone hit on the head and also feel the hit themselves.
Synesthesia is not completely understood though it is in our genes.The white matter (腦白質(zhì)) of synesthetes is organized differently from that of people without synesthesia,which may account for the differences in perception (感知).Synesthesia is widely accepted and researched today,but that hasn't always been true.Though it caught scientific interest in the late 1800s,it was later rejected as a self-created way of thinking.But as people have become more fascinated by the differences in individual perception,a focus on synesthesia has been renewed.At the present time,scientists in various fields are examining the phenomenon.
As scientists continue to study synesthesia,certain advantages have been noticed.Studies show that the sensation connections that synesthetes experience aid them in abilities related to memory.Researchers believe that this advantage may help stop the loss of cognitive (認(rèn)知) function in the elderly.This aspect of synesthesia could even help patients recover from brain injuries.Synesthetes also tend to be artists,singers Pharrell Williams and Lady Gaga being some famous examples.Most likely,synesthesia doesn't give artistic sensitivity,but it's understandable that seeing colours in music,for instance,could inspire art.
Strong drugs and increasing blindness have been known to cause synesthesia,but these are not good options for obvious reasons.One recent emphasis of the study of synesthesia is to determine whether non-synesthetes can acquire it.For now,the University of East London is training adults to establish letter-colour connections for memory improvement to some effect.It may not be long before words taste like our favourite foods and our favourite songs look like fireworks.

(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)

78.According to the passage synesthetes are thosewho naturally experience certain senses together/(who are) with synesthesia.
79.Why do synesthetes have sensation connections while the others don't?Because their brain/white matter is organized differently.
80.What groups of people might profit from synesthesia according to the third paragraph?The elderly,patients with brain injures and artists.
81.Scientists are training adults to establish letter-colour connections to prove the possibility thatnon-synesthetes can acquire synesthesia/synesthesia can be acquired.
