2.How to Become Cleverer
Once a boy came to ask a fisherman how to become cleverer,because his mother always called him"foolish boy".
"That's easy,"answered the fisherman."I know one way to make you become cleverer."
"Really?"
"Of course.It is said a fish head is good for brain.If you eat one,you'll become cleverer indeed.Pay only three pounds for one fish head."The boy paid him three pounds and the fisherman cut off a fish head and handed it to him.
A raw fish head is not good-not even for a hungry boy to eat but the boy ate it up in two gulps.
"Do you feel anything?"asked the fisherman.
"Not in my head,"said the boy.
The boy lay on the ground and thought."One whole fish costs only two pounds.I had paid him three pounds for the fish head.Why couldn't I have the whole fish for soup,a head for brain and one pound left over?"He jumped up and shouted at the fisherman."You thief!You are fooling me!"The fisherman laughed,saying,"The fish head works now,you see."

分析 本文叙述了一个男孩因为妈妈经常说他"傻孩子",所以去问渔夫怎样才能变聪明.渔夫说吃鱼头可以变聪明,他就花了三英镑买了个鱼头,两口吞下了.之后,他感觉自己上当了.

解答 8.C.细节理解题.根据"It is said a fish head is good for brain.If you eat one,you'll become cleverer indeed."渔夫说鱼头对脑子好,吃了会变聪明.可知男孩两口吞下鱼头,是因为他把鱼头当成能变聪明的良药了.故答案选C.
9.B.细节理解题.根据文章第一句"Once a boy came to ask a fisherman how to become cleverer,"可知男孩来找渔夫是为了问他怎样能变聪明.至于买鱼头,是后来渔夫让他买的.故答案选B.
10.C.细节理解题.根据"Why couldn't I have the whole fish for soup,a head for brain and one pound left over?"可知,男孩花费三英镑可以买到一整条鱼还能找回一英镑.故选C.
11.C.推理判断题.根据文章中男孩吃鱼前后的情况He jumped up and shouted at the fisherman."You thief!You are fooling me!"The fisherman laughed,可知并没有什么帮男孩变得更聪明,他本来就不傻.故答案选C.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

19.There is a time when Karyn Bosnak couldn't pay a$59bill at the grocery store.She was officially broke.She didn't have enough money to get on the subway,but she looked rich.She was a television producer,earned$900a week,and had a closetful of designer labels like Gucci and Louis Vuitton.But she also had a$20,221.40credit card bill and an empty bank account.Karyn decided that it was time for a change.She built a website and simply asked people to help her out by sending her a dollar or two.
On the site,Karyn honestly explained her situation."If 20,000people gave me just$1,I'd be home free."Amazingly,it worked.Her website was visited by more than a million people.Although most donors just gave a few dollars,one generous donor sent$1,000.She was on TV and in newspapers and magazines.She was offered a book deal and a movie contract.And of course,she was able to pay off her credit card debt.She also sold her designer clothes on eBay.In her closet,where the Gucci purse once sat,Karyn keeps all the letters that people have sent her.
It's hard to understand why so many people helped a total stranger pay off her huge credit card bill.Karyn explains,"I was just honest about what happened; I didn't make up some sob story (悲伤的故事) about saving the world."Her donors think it's funny and original,and view it less as a charity than as an entertainment site.Imitators have appeared all over the Internet,some with extremely selfish requests for things like a BMW or a house.
Actually,Karyn was not the first person to put up a website asking strangers for money.The practice has a name:"cyber-begging."Most sites receive little traffic and even less cash.Karyn also had thousands of enemies and critics.People sent her hate mail and scolded (斥责) her on websites.Karyn says she never let this anger bother her."They are probably jealous (嫉妒的) they didn't think of it."She explains.

B.Its main purpose is to help the poor.
C.It was first started by Karyn Bosnak.
D.Most of the time it draws little attention.
13.People in South Korea who feel they can no longer bear the stress of everyday life now can choose to stay in a prison to relax and think deeply.
    In a society where pressure to do well in school and find highly-paid jobs is intense,a former lawyer came up with an extreme relaxation idea.Kwon Yong-seok created the"Prison Inside Me"-a stress-reduction center with a punishment theme.People come here to cut themselves off from the outside world and pay to be kept in 60-square-foot (5.6-square-meter) cells (囚室).
    Located on the outskirts of Hongcheon,about 58 miles (93 km) northeast of Seoul,"Prison Inside Me"came to life after Mr.Kwon voluntarily asked to spend time behind bars for"healing reasons,"but his request was turned down."I didn't know how to stop working back then,"he said."I felt like I was being swept away against my will,and it seemed I couldn't control my own life."So,Kwon and his wife Roh Ji-hyang decided to take matters into their own hands,and designed and built a prison-like spiritual center.The construction was completed in June last year and cost about 2 billion won (﹩19 million).
    The facility includes 28 cells,furnished with only a toilet,a sink and a small table,where guests can spend time alone,thinking about life and enjoying private thinking periods.Moreover,guests can also join group thinking periods in the hall,where they are given instructions on how to free themselves from what Mr.Kwon calls the"inner prison"to find inner peace.
    According to the Wall Street Journal,hundreds of stressed South Koreans are checking in at the stress-reduction facility to think about their lives and regain control of it.A two-night stay at"Prison Inside Me"costs 150,000 won (﹩146).
    Mr.Kwon and his wife explained that at the beginning they had a different plan for the"relaxation center,"and imagined a longer stay for their guests,but,given that people weren't able to take more time off,they had to reduce the length of stays to just two days.
    Park Woo-sub,a guest at"Prison Inside Me,"said the experience helped him a lot."This is my third time in prison.Being kept in a prison makes me hard to breathe,but it also offers time to focus only on me and spend some quiet time with myself."
    Others said the experience would have been more helpful if the conditions had been poorer,like in a real prison.

17.Street art can be found on buildings,sidewalks,street signs and even trash cans from Tokyo to Paris to New York City.This special kind of art can take the form of paintings,sculptures,cloth or even stickers.Street art has become part of a global visual culture.Now,even art museums and galleries are collecting the work of street artists.
It is not easy to provide an exact history of the street art movement.This kind of art has developed in many kinds of ways in places all over the world.Also,because it is illegal to paint public and private property without permission,street artists usually work secretly.This secretive nature of street art and its countless forms make it hard to define exactly.And people have different opinions about the movement.Some think street art is a crime and destroys property.But others see this art as a rich form of non-traditional cultural expression.
Many experts say the movement began in New York City in the nineteen sixties.Young adults would use paint in special cans to spray their"tag"on walls and train cars around the city.This tag was a name they created to identify themselves and their art work.This colorful style of writing is also called graffiti.It is visually exciting and energetic.
Graffiti also became a separate movement expressing the street culture of young people living in big cities.Graffiti art represented social and political rebellion.These artists could travel around areas of the city making creative paintings for everyone to see.Sometimes this street art created a dispute between artists and city officials.Graffiti artists created their images and city officials quickly painted over them.
During the 1980s,two famous New York painters-Keith Haring and Jean Michel began showing their work in art galleries and museums.This is when street art started to become part of the more general popular culture.

27.What can we infer from the first paragraph?A
A.Street art has become popular and is accepted as a kind of culture.
B.Street art is very special compared with other forms of popular art.
C.Many people are beginning to learn street art.
D.Street art is better developed in big cities than in rural areas.
28.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?D
A."TAG"was a word created by people to distinguish street artists and the other artists.
B.There are three reasons to explain why it is hard to define the history of street art.
C.The movement of street art began in the 1980s in New York City.
D.All the people don't think that the street art is a rich form of cultural expression.
29.The city officials used to do away with graffiti probably because.B
A.they caused arguments between people
B.they were ugly in someone's eyes
C.they were not painted under proper guidance
