题目内容

【题目】Paparazzi, (狗仔队)or “paps”, are photographers who take pictures of famous people when they are not at the center of public attention. Paps are different from professional photographers or journalists because they never take ordinary photos.

The goal for paparazzi is to get pictures that no one else will get and then sell the pictures to the buyer who offers the most money — normainly a small newspaper, magazine or website.

There is no law against paparazzi taking pictures in public places. However, there are laws that protect certain individuals. For example, child protection laws stop improper pictures of anyone under 16 from being published.

There is also no law that stops paparazzi from following celebrities（名人） and taking their pictures either. However, if paps are secretly following them and taking pictures of their faces, they could get into trouble.

Most paparazzi hang out on streets and hot spots for celebrities, waiting for the opportunity to take a picture of a star. Many stay on the streets until the early hours of the morning when celebrities are leaving nightclubs and looking a little worse for wear. However, some have other ways to make sure they get pictures. Many paps are in contact with “informers” who know the locations of celebrities at any given time. They then pass the information on to paparazzi. An informer could be anyone — from a restaurant waiter to a salesman.

Most of the time, paparazzi get a bad reputation for following celebrities. But sometimes stars or their managers will contact paps themselves and tell them exactly where and when they will go. What a love-hate relationship between paparazzi and celebrities!

【1】Which of the following things paparazzi might do would be against the law?

A. Taking pictures of famous people in public places.

B. Getting unsuitable pictures of a 10-year-old actress published.

C. Following a famous woman singer secretly and taking her pictures.

D. Hanging out at the places where celebrities often appear.

【2】 In order to earn big money a pap has to ________.

A. make friends with famous people

B. sell the pictures to a big newspaper

C. get the only first-hand pictures

D. know the locations of celebrities

【3】The fifth paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A. how much paparazzi pay for the pictures

B. how dangerous paparazzi’s job is

C. how paparazzi contact informers .

D. how paparazzi get the pictures

【4】 What can we infer from the passage?

A. Paparazzi always take pictures when famous people are tired.

B. Stars hate paparazzi and don’t want to be followed.

C. Informers might get paparazzi into trouble.

D.Paparazzi and famous people rely on each other sometimes.

【5】The underlined phrase "hang out" probably means _______.

A. check out

B. keep away

C. wander about

D. leave out

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】D

【4】D

【5】C

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于说明文，介绍了狗仔队这一特殊行业。并详细介绍了狗仔队是如何拍摄到名人的特殊照片的。

【1】B 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句For example, child protection laws stop improper pictures of anyone under 16 from being published.可知未成年人保护法禁止拍摄16岁以下的未成年人的图片。所以B项内容是违法的。

【2】C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段The goal for paparazzi is to get pictures that no one else will get and then sell the pictures to the buyer who offers the most money可知狗仔队的目的就是能够拍摄到别人拍不到的图片并以此谋利。故C项正确。

【3】D 主旨大意题。本文属于说明文，介绍了狗仔队这一特殊群体以及他们进行特殊偷拍的方法。AB项是错误的，C项与文章内容无关。D项是文章的中心思想。

【4】D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Most of the time, paparazzi get a bad reputation for following celebrities. But sometimes stars or their managers will contact paps themselves and tell them exactly where and when they will go.可知总得说来狗仔队和明星是对立的，但是有时候明星为了有更高的曝光率，会主动让狗仔队拍摄。他们之间的关系很微妙。故D项正确。

【5】C 词义猜测题。根据本句Most paparazzi hang out on streets and hot spots for celebrities, waiting for the opportunity to take a picture of a star.可知狗仔队通常在大街上或一些很受欢迎的地方等名人出现并拍摄他们的照片。所以划线短语“hang out”意为徘徊。故C项正确。

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为余选项。

Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?

At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy(嫉妒). 【1】 Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green – eyed monster” and the UK is its home.

Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. 【2】Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.

【3】 . But there is also opposite evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.

“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”

【4】 They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. 【5】 It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.

A. This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain.

B. The one who owns most money in the end is the winner.

C. As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.”

D. It is not true that British people are born jealous of others` success.

E. Some were given a little, others a great deal.

F. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them.

G. Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem.

To be more grateful in life means that you are also allowing yourself to be happier, more contented and more satisfied with everything that has been going on around you. But with all the stress, all the disappointments and all the anxiety around you, I bet you ask yourself this question all the time: ‘How exactly can I be more grateful with my life?" 【1】 .

1. Learn to live in the moment.

Life is a wonderful adventure full of enriching experiences and endless possibilities. Don't just go through the motions of repetitive activities and boring tasks. No! Being a mindless zombie can make you more likely to take things for granted. 【2】 , make an effort to enjoy the experience. You're supposed to attend a conference? Absorb it. Babysit your niece? Enjoy the moment. Eat a 15-minute lunch? Taste each bite.

2. 【3】 .

Being aware of your goal to be more grateful can help you look for things to be really more grateful for. Gratitude is a conscious decision. You have to practice it consistently.

3. Control your thoughts.

Of course you have the power to control what you' re thinking of! Consider this exercise, for example if you find yourself thinking more and more self-entided, stop. 【4】 .You are given[consciousness. Make use of it wisely.

4. Always resist the temptation of comparing yourself with other people.

As humans, we have the natural tendency to compare ourselves with others with the hope of attaining satisfaction. Actually, this kind of activity does not help you feel to be more grateful in life. 【5】！You will always be meeting someone richer, which makes you feel inferior to others! Don't do it, please.

Every little thing counts. You have the ability to make yourself feel to be more grateful in your life.

A．It does the opposite

B. Express gratitude all the time

C. Appreciate what you have right now

D. And if you find yourself repeating negative junk, stop

【题目】My parents moved to Mississippi when my brother and I were small children, and we were separated from our Oklahoma grandparents by some 600 miles. This long distance allowed us to only visit our grandparents once a year, either at Christmas or during summer vacation.

Most of my classmates lived near their grandparents, and I would often hear stories of big families regularly spending time with one another, fishing at “grandpa’s” house or going over to “grandma’s”for her famous fried chicken. We were disappointed that we did not get to spend more time with our grandparents, but our love for them remained deep and strong.

We always expected a road trip to Oklahoma. We would count the days, and when the day came, the entire family would pile into our car at four o’clock in the morning. Crossing the Mississippi River into Louisiana, the scenery changed. Crossing the Red River in Oklahoma, we were in a foreign world.

Every trip to see my grandparents can’t be without bringing delight. We jumped out of the car in their driveway to be met with bear hugs. My grandparents wanted to know everything about their grandchildren, and we would sit for hours and tell story after story. Grandma had a meal planned, and you could guess she prepared her grandsons’ favorite foods. Of course the best part of the visit was that we were able to do whatever we wanted without punishment from our grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa always had presents for us, short trips planned and lovely surprises, such as the time we got to a local restaurant and ate the world’s largest hamburger.

【1】Why didn’t the family visit their grandparents often?

A. Because they seldom had a vacation.

B. Because they had a bad attitude to them.

C. Because they were all busy with their work.

D. Because they lived far away from each other.

【2】When hearing his classmates’ stories, the author __________.

A.often felt deep sorrow

B.would call his grandparents

C. would admire them at heart

D.would feel sorry for his poor life

【3】Whenever the author and his brother met their grandparents, they _________.

A.were full of great excitement

B. found they were in a foreign world

C.shared cooking skills with each other

D.seemed not to be familiar with each other

【4】What can we infer from the author’s story?

A.Distance can’t break the bond of love.

B.Physical separation hurts the heart deeply.

C.Distance leads to the most beautiful scene.

D.Family life is filled with love and understanding.

I hardly remember my grandmother. She used to holding me on her knees and sing old songs. I was only four when she passes away. She is just a distant memory for me now.

I remember my grandfather very much. He was tall, with broad shoulder and a beard that turned from black toward gray over the years. He had a deep voice, which set himself apart from others in our small town, he was strong and powerful. In a fact, he even scared my classmates away during they came over to play or do homework with me. However, he was the gentlest man I have never known.
