Part 3 Reading and writing(第三部分读写)

VI. Reading comprehension(阅读理解)（共50分）

A.Choose the best answer(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)（12分）

Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor”help you create this life of good feelings.

Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.

Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about out good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.

Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?

In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel

honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.

There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, one it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important to our happiness.

1.According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our ________ .

A.self-respect

B. sneaky excitement

C.financial rewards

D. friendly relationship

2.The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to ________ .

A. lying

B. stealing

C. cheating

D. advertising

3.What dose the underlined word “sneaky”mean in paragraph 3?

A. secret

B. unnoticeable

C. silent

D. public

4.The phrase “bringing the error to the clerk’s attention”(in Para.5) means ________ .

A. telling the truth to the clerk

B. offering advice to the clerk

C.blaming the clerk for the error

D. reminding the clerk of the charged item

5.How will we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake?

A. We’ll be very excited

B. We’ll feel unfortunate

C. We’ll have a sense of honor

D. We’ll feel sorry fir the clerk

6.What is the article mainly about?

A. How to live truthfully.

B. Importance of peacefulness.

C. Ways of gaining self-respect.

D. Happiness through honorable actions.

2.细节题。作者认为对没有收费的东西，保持沉默不该素收银员相当于什么？第5段开始的部分就围绕这一点展开了论述，用了deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief，故选B。

3.词义猜测题。第3段讲keep silent and profit from the clerk’s mistake, 然后just drive home，也就是意味着不说出来，所以是秘密地，偷偷地，故选A。

4.词汇语义题。第5段中用了对比法，先讲如果不告诉收银员意味着什么，如果告诉收银员意味着什么，

中间用了in contrast来连接，形成对比，bring...to，也就是答案telling the truth to the clerk，故选A。

5.细节题。还是对第5段的内容进行提问，如果告诉收银员，我们会有什么感觉，倒数第2句话说到we feel honorable and our self-respect is increase，故选C。

6.主旨题。问文章的标题，也就是主题，happiness和honorable是文章中出现频率最高的两个词，故选D。

Besides, fashion magazines have almost ____1____ the practice of putting models on the cover because they don't sell nearly as well as famous faces. ____2____, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others’ products to developing their own.

As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.

However, for every success story, there’s a related warning tale of a celebrity who ____3____ his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the product’s origin is, if it ____4____ to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty returning to labels which have proved to be reliable.

Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover(逆转) has ____5____ as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebrity’s shelf life and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem severely criticizing him and taking everything from him when the opportunity appears. Still, the ego’s(自我的) potential for expansion is limitless.

Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see ____6____ as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand.

3.考察动词。A. ignored 忽视 B. disapproved 不支持；反对 C. overvalued 过于重视；估价过高 D. estimated 估计。前面有转折词，however，那么后面引出有些名人自己对消费者的影响力自视过高，即高估了自己，由此推断，选C

Different people may find that different learning methods work best for them. While some would turn to tutoring in order to get better grades, others choose to join study groups. In fact, many universities (1) e________ their students to form study groups and make good use of them.

“Two heads are better than one.” That’s the simple idea (2)b________ study groups. By participating in a study group, students can benefit from some of their best academic (3)r_______: other students. They get to pick each other’s brains and improve their own understanding of different problems. Moreover, s tudy groups can create the (4)s_______ tense atmosphere in which it’s good to study. For example, some students t end to procrastinate(拖延) when they are studying by themselves; however, by joining a study group, they get to observe their peers who are working diligently and are likely to thus have motivation for working harder.

Study groups work best when they are small, but not too small—four to five participants is about right. And it’s necessary to make sure everyone has the same (5)g______, to prepare for a particular test, to discuss class readings or to review the week’s lecture notes. Besides, socializing in th e group would make studying more fun as long as it took up only a small portion of group study time.

In addition, to maximize the (6)e_______, some study groups like to assign members certain roles, and thus efficiency will be promoted. Besides an organizer, who gets group members to agree to a common purpose and a convenient time and place, there often is a group member playing the role of a source-seeker, whose duty is to remind group members to identify their sources. For instance, when a group member sa ys “I read somewhere that ... ,” the source-seeker should ask for specifics. This person reminds the group that it’s important to know who said what and where it was said. And a gatekeeper, who tries to make sure that all group members are participating, may ask a (7)d_______ question to help a shy person participate, or find a way to get a dominating member to listen.

【答案】1-7 encourage behind resources slightly goal direct

【分析】

1. encourage. 根据题目意思，学校“鼓励”学生建立学习小组并好好利用学习小组，所以选encourage.

2. behind. “Two heads are better than one.”意思是人多力量大，也是学习小组“背后”的一个理念，所以填behind

3. resources. 在学习小组中，学生可以从其他小伙伴的身上学到学术性的知识，那么这边的其他学生可以是学生收获知识的一种“来源”，resources.

4. slightly 这一题讲的是学习小组的另一个好处，也就是学习小组可以创造一种轻松的学习氛围，那么文章说的是tense atmosphere，紧张的氛围，前面句子不缺任何成分，说明前面应该是副词修饰tense，并且是能够变成tense的反义，填slightly，有一点点紧张的氛围，也就是基本是一个轻松的氛围

5. goal 空格处的后面to表目的，所以空格填goal，目标是为了特殊的考试做准备

6. efficiency 后面thus efficiency will be promoted表示结果，给出提示，说明前面应该是为了最大化“efficiency”，也就是效率

7. direct. gatekeeper可以直接对比较害羞的组员进行提问，direct。

D．Answer the questions.(根据短文内容回答下列问题)（12分）

When Danny Bowman was at school, he was so desperate to attract girls, he spent 10 hours a day taking more than 200 selfies trying to find the perfect image.

But his addiction, which began at the age of 15, caused him to drop out of school and lose almost two stone in weight. He would take 10 photos of himself before he washed and would sneak out of class three times every hour. At 16, he dropped out of school so he could focus on his addiction, and his diet began to deteriorate.

He did not leave his house in Newcastle upon Tyne for six months, and when he failed to take the flawless shot, he tried to kill himself by taking an overdose. His mother, Penny, managed to save him, but he was forced to seek help after his addiction had spiralled out of control.

The 19-year-old believed to be Britain's first selfie addict, has now had therapy to treat his technology addiction, OCD and Body dysmorphic disorder – an excessive anxiety about personal appearance.

He has not taken a picture of himself in seven months, and has realized that achieving perfection is impossible. He told the Sunday Mirror: 'I was constantly in search of taking the perfect selfie and when I realized I couldn’t I wanted to die. I lost my friends, my education, my health and almost my life.' The only thing I cared about was having my phone with me so I could satisfy the urge to capture a picture of myself at any time of the day. 'He would look at photos of his 'idol' Leonardo Di Caprio and would then replicate his poses. Danny's dream was to become a male model.

The selfie craze has grown in past five years, with stars, -politicians and even Pope Francis posting getting involved in the sensation. But one psychologist at a clinic where Danny was treated said the addiction with taking selfies has now become a mental illness. Now determined to raise awareness of the anxiety disorder, Danny is working with Fixers – a national charity helping young people ‘to ‘fix’ the issues that matter to them. He said their help has kept him alive and called on others to seek help before they end up in hospital.

1. Why Danny spend 10 hours a day taking more than 200 selfies at school?

2. Was Danny Britain’s first selfie addict?

3. What is the most serious symptom about Danny?

4. What can be inferred from the treatment about the addiction of Danny’s selfie?

5.What made Danny change for the better both physically and mentally?

6.Is taking selves regularly a good habit or not? Please give your reason.

【答案】1. Because he wanted to find the perfect image and attract girls.

2.Yes,he was.

3.Though he failed to take the flawless shot, he tried to himself by taking an overdose.

4.He is recovering.

5.The therapy.

6.Any reasonable answer is OK.

【分析】

1.信息整理题目。主要是对Danny沉迷自拍的原因进行提问：从第一段he was desperate to attract girls和trying to find the perfect image获得答案。

2.逻辑判断题。对Danny的情况进行判断：The 19-year-old believed to be Britain's first selfie addict明显地给出答案。

3.信息整合题。是对Danny的最严重病症进行提问：when he failed to take the flawless shot, he tried to kill himself by taking an overdose表明Danny有自杀倾向，肯定是最严重的症状了。

4.逻辑推断题。文章中He said their help has kept him alive and called on others to seek help before they end up in hospital.表明他的情况有在好转，呼吁更多的人向专业机构寻求帮助。

5.信息整合题。对Danny治愈方式的提问：has now had therapy to treat his technology addiction说明therapy 治疗了他的病症。

6.开放思维题。可以根据文章中的故事找到观点，给出相应的理由即可。

VII. Write a story in at least 60 words according to the following pictures on the topic “I want to invent…”The following is for reference only.

1.It can be used to…

2.It will be exciting /necessary/helpful…..

【答案】

It is acknowledged that learning a new language will take lots of time and energy, so I want to invent a language machine, which can make it as easy as possible. Firstly, we won’t be anxious about the language barrier anymore, especially in abroad. Furthermore, with the rapid development of globalization, we cannot emphasize the importance of communicating with foreigners too much. In other words, mastering several languages is becoming an irresistible trend.In short, the machine enables our communication with foreigners to be more convenient.
