【解析】

試題分析：考查非謂語動詞。老理查德，已經(jīng)染病許久，正在喪失記憶力并需要得到照料。動詞不定式表示將來，根據(jù)句意可知，染病是已經(jīng)發(fā)生的事情，排除A、D；當兩個動作先后發(fā)生時，常用having done，相當于一個原因、時間狀語從句，這里相當于because he has been ill so long，故選C。

A euphemism (from the Greek words eu—well and pheme—speak) is a word or expression that is used when people want to find a polite or less direct way of talking about difficult or embarrassing topics like death or the bodily functions.Most people，for example，would find it very difficult to say in plain language that they have arranged for their sick old dog to be killed.They would soften the pain by saying：We had Ruby put down or We had Ruby put to sleep.Many people prefer to call someone plain than ugly，or cuddly rather than fat.

Euphemisms are an important part of every language，but it seems that English has an ever?growing number of them.The non?native speaker not only has to make sense of the euphemisms he hears，he also has to learn which euphemisms are appropriate in any particular situation.He might be aware that his American friend needs to use the toilet when she asks where the bathroom (or restroom，or comfort station) is，but he is less likely to guess that his English friend has the same need when he says he has to see a man about a dog.He might have learned，for example，that in the family way is a euphemism for pregnant.If，however，he says to his boss，“Congratulations！I hear your wife is in the family way，” he would be using an expression that is too familiar for the circumstances.

Schools are full of euphemisms.At Frankfurt International School，for example，the special lessons given to students who are having difficulties in their school subjects are called Study Center (in the middle school) and Academic Workshop (in the high school)．Teachers rightly do not want to upset students or parents by being too frank or straightforward，and usually choose a softer word or expression to convey the same message.

1.According to the passage，people use euphemisms in order to________.

A．make themselves understood

B．a(chǎn)void embarrassment

C．to sound straightforward

D．a(chǎn)ttract attention

2.A person who is described as plain and cuddly is in fact________.

A．tall and handsome 　B．pretty and slim

C．ugly but tall 　D．ugly and fat

3.When an English lady says she has to see a man about a dog，she might want to________.

A．have her old dog killed　B．see an ugly friend

C．go to the toilet 　D．see a pregnant woman

4.The main purpose of Paragraph 2 is to________.

A．stress that euphemisms are an important part of every language

B．inform readers that English has an ever?growing number of euphemisms

C．suggest non?native speakers use euphemisms as often as possible

D．warn English learners to be careful about the meaning and use of euphemisms

5.At Frankfurt International School，the students who receive lessons in Study Center________.

A．have poor grades in the subjects

B．do well in school

C．work hard at their lessons

D．prefer to learn more

科目：高中英語 來源：2015屆江西省高二下學期期中考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

It’s really a tough job for automakers doing marketing and sales in China, where competition is acute and customers have little loyalty. They have tried a range of tricks in recent years.

But there should be a moral bottom line. Unfortunately, a Buick dealership used the tragedy of a two-month-old infant to advertise its cars last week on Weibo – Micro blog. And Hyundai Motor followed suit.

On March 4, an SUV was stolen with the infant left inside alone in the northeastern city of Changchun. The news spread widely on Weibo after the baby’s father called the local police and radio station for help. The next day it was revealed that the infant was choked to death and buried in snow by the thief. The online community expressed its deeply felt sympathy and condolences.

The Buick dealership posted a photo of the baby and two of its cars on its official Weibo account to advertise its GPS system that can locate the stolen car. “A few thoughts on the Changchun stolen car and baby incident: when buying a car it’s entirely OK to choose a brand with advanced technology,” said the post. Though the post was made before tragic fate of the infant was known, the action generated a storm of outrage on Weibo. Some online commentators said it is “marketing at the cost of lives” and “extremely despicable.”

Worse was the post on Hyundai’s official Weibo account that advertised the anti – theft system on its new SUV Santa Fe, an entry made after the child was known to have died. The action also enraged micro bloggers.

Both posts were soon deleted. The Buick dealership made an apology on Weibo to the family of the victim and the public. But screenshots saved by users continued to be posted and the negative impact on both brands persists.

The two brands probably didn’t expect such a firestorm of fury from the Internet community, but they really made a big mistake sinking below the moral bottom line. They certainly ruined their own brand images.

The Chinese have the same proverb as the English language – a little leak will sink a great ship. It takes decades to build the great ship of a respectable brand but it can take just a moment of negligence to make it fail completely.

For those in corporate marketing, two lessons should be learned: first, be careful in the era of social media when one wrong can be easily magnified and have disastrous impacts in just a few clicks.

Second and more importantly, think with your brain and heart. Never break the moral bonds of respect for human life and sympathy for our fellow man.

1.Who is to blame for the tragedy of Changchun infant according to the passage________?

A. The baby’s father B. Buick and Hyundai dealership

C. Weibo D. Not clear

2.Which of the following statements is correct________?

A. The missing infant was found alive in the stolen car.

B. Micro blog marketing of tragic infant death fuels firestorm of criticism.

C. People can’t see the two posts any more because they were deleted.

D. The two car brands mentioned in the passage spoiled their own reputation by selling the stolen car.

3.What does the underlined word – “despicable” in paragraph 4 mean________?

A. Immoral B. Important C. Distinguished D. Considerable

4.The reason why Hyundai’s post was worse than Buick’s is that _________.

A. Hyundai dealership didn’t make an apology on Weibo

B. Buick dealership expressed its deeply sympathy and condolences

C. Hyundai’s post was made after people knew the infant had died

D. Buick’s car was more advanced on its GPS system

5.In the last paragraph, the author encourages people __________.

A. not to sink below the moral bottom line

B. not to sympathize our fellow man

C. to think twice before making decision

D. to magnify the mistakes people make
