【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項。

Celebrities(名人) have become a powerful influence on some people because of their social position and their economic situation.

First,some people admire and imitate stars because they allow themselves to be influenced by the media. Television,radio,and magazines invade(侵擾) the lives of audience with a variety of shows,information,and publications about stars and their lives. For instance,Britney Spears has become the target of paparazzi(狗仔隊).In May,Britney appeared at the front page of the most popular magazines revealing that she married her best friend in Vegas,Nevada. Media also invade stars' lives because reporters know they get high profits from readers who buy and follow their favorite artists' news.

Second,some mad audience imitate their celebrities for their lack of confidence. Some people who are shy and lack personality may find that imitating others will cause a good impression. For instance,my cousin Jenny,who lacks a social life because of her introverted(內(nèi)向的) personality,believes that acting and dressing like Jennifer Lopez will make her popular in high school.

Finally,several fans of stars imitate them because of peer(同齡人) pressure. Since my niece's girlfriends formed an Antonio Banderas' fan club,she had also joined the group. Although she wasn't a huge fan of his,now she collects most of Banderas' possessions. In fact,when I asked Arianna,my niece,why she was part of Banderas' fan club,she replied with a doubtful tone that she did not wish to be rejected by the other teens.

In conclusion,it is true that celebrities play spectacular roles in their performances in Hollywood,which entertains many people all over the world;however,modern celebrities influence the audience to the point where their fans admire and try to imitate their lives.

【答案】【1】A

【2】D

【3】D

【4】B

【5】C

【解析】名人由于他們顯赫的社會和經(jīng)濟地位對人們有較大的影響。

【2】推理判斷題。通讀第二段內(nèi)容可知A、B、C三項的說法都不對,從第二段的最后一句可推知D項正確。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。第三段第一句是該段的主題句,接下來作者舉了Jenny的例子就是為了證明該論點,故可知D項正確。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。第四段的第一句是該段的主題句,Arianna的例子就是為了證明該論點,另外從該段的最后一句也可知答案為B。

【5】推理判斷題。從最后一段的內(nèi)容可推知作者認為人們盲目地模仿明星是不好的。

【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項。

(2012年遼寧卷,C)If Confucius(孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake,there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.

While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day,few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.

But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.

In the past two decades,the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently,the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art,history and philosophy(哲學(xué)).Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States,at the same time,are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.

So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.

Today China attracts the West more than ever,and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.

As for the old thinker,he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West,even if his birthday is.

【1】The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.

A.provide some key facts about Confucius

B.a(chǎn)ttract the readers' interest in the subject

C.show great respect for the ancient thinker

D.prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations

【2】We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ________.

A.have a great interest in studying Chinese

B.take an active part in Chinese competitions

C.try to get high scores in Chinese exams

D.fight for a chance to learn Chinese

【3】What is the best title for the passage?

A.Forgotten Wisdom in America

B.Huge Fans of the Chinese Language

C.Chinese Culture for Westerners

D.Old Thinker with a Big Future

【4】The passage is likely to appear in ________.

A.a(chǎn) biography

B.a(chǎn) history paper

C.a(chǎn) newspaper

D.a(chǎn) philosophy textbook

【題目】[1] One of the tough things about being a high school student is that you never Seem to get enough sleep at night, which often leaves you nodding off during classes.The best amount of sleep is about seven and a half to eight hours.Spending either less than six or more than nine hours in sleeping puts your health at risk.

[2] A popular solution to a lack of sleep at night is to take a “power nap” during the day, but does this work?

[3] Generally speaking, it can be beneficial.Research shows that a nap in the middle of the day—even a brief one as Short as five or 10minutes—can clear your mind and leave you with increased energy and improved productivity.

[4] But here are some things you need to know to do it correctly.To start with, every time you doze off (打瞌睡) during the day does not count as a “power nap”.The best time to take a power nap is in the mid-afternoon, when your energy level tends to decrease.

[5] But how long should a power nap be? Ideally, it should be kept to between 10 and 30 minutes.Nodding off for five minutes does not really provide established sleep.If you, however, go into the deeper stage you will wake up feeling weak.

[6] However, refreshing as it might be, if you get adequate sleep at night, taking a power nap isn’t such a wise choice.The reason is that sleeping during the day can interfere with your body’s biorhythms.The brain gets used to going to bed and getting up at roughly the same time each day, and you don’t want to disturb this routine.

[7] One more thing to keep in mind is that a power nap should never be used as a replacement for a good night’s sleep.A power nap during the day is not like a tablet which will definitely work.An hour’s sleep before midnight is worth a couple of hours’ sleep after midnight.

【1】What is the main idea of the passage? (no more than 5 words)

_____________________________________________________________________

【2】What if a person spends less than six or more than nine hours in sleeping?

(no more than 9 words)

_____________________________________________________________________

【3】According to Paragraph 3, what benefits can we get from a nap in the middle of the day?

(no more than 4 words)
