炼（5）及解析

Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family's last vacation. It was my six yearold son's winter break from school, and we were heading home from after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $ 400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings i

n , so I had to get back. But tha

t didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my ninemonthold and took off for home.

The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged－

okay, ordered－them to wait it out at t

he airport to “earn” more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $ 1,600 . Not bad, huh?

Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a bigtime bargain hunter, I know the v alue of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something fe w of us can afford to pass up.

I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NB C's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Su rvival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.

I tell you t

his because there is no shame in getting your money's worth. I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my chil dren, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to sp end on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the fi rst thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piec

e o

f furniture. Quality lasts.

1. Why did Delta give the author's family credits?

A. They took a later flight.

B. They had early bookings.

C. Their flight had been delayed.

D. Their flight had been cancelled.

Good News vs. Bad News

Bad news travels fast—

when you watch the evening news or read the morning paper s, it seems that things that get the most coverage are all trage dies like wars, earthquakes, floods, fires and murders.

This is the classic rule for the mass media. “They want your e yeballs and don't care how you're feeling，” Jonah Berger, a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania, US, told The N ew York Times.

But with social media getting increasingly popular, information

is now being spread in different ways, and researchers are di scovering new rules—

good news can actually spread faster and farther than disaste rs and other sad stories.

Berger and his colleague Katherine Milkman looked at thousa nds of articles on The New York Times' website and analyzed the “most popular” list for six months.

One of his findings was that articles in the science section wer e much more likely to make the list. Those_stories aroused fe elings of awe and made the readers want to share this positiv e emotion with others.

Besides science stories, readers were also found to be likely to share articles that were exciting or funny. “The more positi ve an article was, the more likely it was to be shared，” Berge r wrote in his new book, Contagious: Why Things Catch On. For example, “stories about newcomers falling in love with N ew York City” he writes, tend to be shared more than “the de ath of a popular zookeeper”．

The difference between the two is due to the fact that the mas s media prefers news that gets attention, while when you shar e a story with your friends “you care a lot more about how the y react”， Berger explained.

But does all the good news actually make the audience feel b

etter? Not necessarily.

According to a study by researchers at Harvard University, p eople tend to say more positive things about themselves whe n they're talking to a bigger audience, rather than just one per son, which helps explain all the perfect vacations that keep sh owing up on microblogs. This, researchers found, makes peo ple think that life is unfair and t

hat they're less happy than their “friends”．

5. We can learn from the first five paragraphs that ______.

A. when you watch the evening news, it seems that things are all tragedies

B. the classic rule for the mass media i

s that they focus on your attention and your feelings

C. the new rule for the mass media appears because social m edia get increasingly popular

D. one of Berger's findings was that science articles were not much more popular

6. What kind of stories does the underlined part in Paragraph

5 refer to?

A. Science stories.

B. Tragedy stories.

C. Murder stories.

D. Funny stories.

7. Which of the following stories will not be popular on The Ne

w York Times' website?

A. An exciting trip to Europe.

B. A murder in a hospital.

C. A new invention of cooker.

D. A funny experience in space.

8. What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?

A. Good news always makes the audience feel better.

B. Bad news always makes the audience feel frightened.

C. All good news doesn't make the audience feel better.

D. All bad news doesn't make the audience feel frightened. [文章大意] 本文是一篇议论文，就好消息和坏消息的传播和影响展开论述。

5．C。考查细节理解。根据文章第三段中的

Set to open in 2013，the￡188m LoB is already beginning to take shape next to the Birmingham Repertory Theatre，with which it will share some equipment. As digital media(媒介)is important to its_idea，the project is already providing chances for some of the many small new local companies working at the new technologies. Brian Gambles，the LoB project director，says it is about giving people the right tools for learning：“The aim is to mix the physical with the digital，providing 24－hour services which can be used through many different ways.It is important to enable us to reach more people，more effectively.” The digital library will，he says，be as important as the physical one，allowing the distant use of the services, making sure that it is never closed to the public. Even before the LoB is complete，the public has been able to go online to visit the Virtual(虚拟的)LoB，designed by Baden，the Birmingham virtual worlds specialists.Not only have the public been able to learn about the LoB，but the virtual one has also enabled those working on the LoB to understand the building and how it will work before it even opens. Two other small Birmingham－based digital companies are also working on the LoB projects.Substrat，a digital design company，is developing what it calls an example of an “enlarged reality” project.It is about the use of an exciting smart phone，an important part of the LoB which is in the early stages of development.And The People's Archive is an online library of historical figures of the city being built up by a digital content company in Cahoots，in which users will be encouraged to add to and comment on the material. Gambles says：“Technology will enable us to make the library's content and services open to citizens as never before” 【语篇解读】本文是一则新闻报道。即将落成的Library of Birmingham(LoB)将是伯明翰市接受日常生活数字化的标志。 1．The underlined part“its idea”in Paragraph 3 refers to the idea of ________. A．the equipment B．the project C．the digital media D．the physical library 解析词义猜测题。第三段中的“the project”指的是文章中出现的“the LoB project”，结合画线部分的上下文语境可知此处讲的是数字媒体对这个项目很重要，所以B项正确。

It saddened me to think that maybe my son no longer believed in Santa, and we drove the rest of the way in silence. At the mall, we spotted another Santa greeting young believers. Suddenly, Mike took off toward him. Turning back to me, he shouted. “Now, there's the real Santa!” Michael E. Fahey, Huntley, Illinois We immigrated to America from China when I was six. Because I was shy and didn't speak English, I had few friends. My days were spent at home with my brother. Sometimes we'd help our neighbor Mr. Mueller pull weeds. One Christmas Day, there was a knock at the door. Grandma opened it, and there stood a big fellow in red with a snow-white beard, laughing, “Ho, ho, ho!” He handed out presents and made us laugh. I had so much fun. It was years later when I learned that our special Santa was our neighbor Mr. Mueller.

Before this time health care had to be paid for by individuals. Nowadays central government is directly responsible for the NHS although it is administered by local health authorities. About 83 percent of the cost of the health service is paid for by general taxation and the rest is met from the National Insurance contributions paid by those in work. T here a re c harges f or p rescription a nd d ental c are b ut m any p eople, s uch a s c hildren, M ost p eople are r egistered w ith a local d octor (a GP, or General Practitioner) who is increasingly likely to be part of a health centre which serves the community. As the population of Britain gets older, the hospital service now treats more patients than before, although patients spend less time in hospital. NHS h ospitals—many of which were built in the nineteenth century —provide nearly half a million beds and have over 480, 000 medical staff. The NHS is the biggest employer in Europe although Britain actually spends less per person on health care than most of her European neighbours. During the 1980s there was considerable restructuring of the Health Service with an increased emphasis on managerial efficiency and the privatization of some services (for example, cleaning). At the end of the 1980s the government introduced proposals for further reform of the NHS, i ncluding allowing some hospitals t o be self-governing, and encouraging GPs t o compete for patients. Patients w ould be able to choose and change their family doctor more easily and GPs would have more financial responsibility. The political questions continue of how much money should be provided to support the NHS and where it should come from. 41. We can know from the first paragraph that ____________ _. A. the original aim of the NHS was to provide equal basic health care for everybody B. people didn’t have to pay for health care since the NHS was set up C. patients were charged for receiving health care before 1948 D. the NHS was an organization which gave free advice to villagers 42. What do we know about the NHS? A. It’s managed by the central government. B. Its cost is mainly paid for by the National Insurance contributions. C. It hires more people than any other unit in Europe. D. Fewer patients go to its hospitals than before because they spend less on health care. 43.

Having served as a soldier and politician, he is often considered among the greatest of Britons. While his heroic stand against the Nazis is well know, there are still a few facts about the popular politician that might surprise you. His Cigars The classic image of Winston Churchill includes a giant cigar stuck between his lips. Churchill developed his love of cigars as a young man, when he traveled to Cuba. For the rest of his life, he smoked eight or nine cigars every day. However, he almost ne At any given time, Churchill had 3,000 to 4,000 cigars in his house, mostly his favorite Romeo & Juliet brand.

高考英语阅读理解专题训练答案及解析

高考英语阅读理解专题训练答案及解析一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Several years ago, I began asking my friends and family to tell me something about their passwords. Yes, I understand why passwords are universally hated: the pressure they put on our memory and the endless demand to update them. I hate them too. But there is more to passwords than their annoyance. In the fact that we construct them so that we can remember them, they take on secret lives. There was a former prisoner whose password includes what used to be his prison ID number to constantly tell him not to go back. And there was a childless 45-year-old woman whose password is the name of the baby she lost in her 25 (her way of trying to keep him alive, I guess). Sometimes the passwords were playful. Several people said they used "incorrect" for theirs so that when they forgot it, the software automatically promoted them with the right one ("your password is incorrect"). Some passwords were striking for their uniqueness. After reading Sheryl Sandberg's book Lean in: Women, Work and the Will to Lead, Cortni Kerr, a running partner of mine, found her role model and began using "Wwssdol9", which stood for "What would Sheryl Sandberg do" plus "19" for the year (2019) of the password's creation. "TnsitTpsif" was the password of another friend, a computer scientist who loves wordplay. It stood for "The next sentence is true. The previous sentence is false". For my friend, it was a playful reference to the knots that language can tie. The 4622 that my wife used in her passwords was not just the address of her father's childhood home but also a reminder of his strength. Apparently, when the former 120 kg football standout was a small boy, he had to sing his home address (4622 South 28th West Avenue) in one full breath rather than try to say it normally. Otherwise, his stutter (口吃) would embarrass him.（1）Why did the prisoner use his prison ID number in his password? A.To rebuild his reputation. B.To remind him to act legally. C.To fight against his poor memory. D.To hide the unpleasant experience. （2）What did Cortni Kerr think of Sheryl Sandberg's book? A.Doubtful. B.Interesting. C.Creative. D.Inspiring. （3）What might be the best title for the text? A.The reasons why people hate passwords. B.The unusual passwords. C.The secret lives of passwords. D.The best ways to make your passwords unique. 【答案】（1）B

I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.

When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn't be here. But then I thought about the fact that he was 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn't give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all. I know there will still be occasions when I have to say if only about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality.
