题目内容
6.When I went away to college,I chose to go to a large school in another state in an attempt to never again see those popular girls,the ones who drove quiet girls like me headlong into the arms of dusty books.Since I didn't know a soul at this university,I volunteered for a club to make friends.That's how I ended up one winter evening standing outside the student union,waiting for the night's famous speaker to drive up.My assignment was to escort (护送)her to the auditorium where her fans eagerly waited to hear Maya Angelou,author of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.
As showtime neared,Angelou's car pulled up.When its door opened,Angelou and a female friend exited,each wearing head-to-toe fur coats.I nervously guided the pair inside.Angelou was ready to sweep onstage,but first,there was her fur coat.I offered to babysit it backstage to make sure it was safe.
"No,"she said.She looked out at the audience."You need to get out there and live."
So I found a front-row seat and heard,for the firsttime,a book come alive in an author's own voice.The audience clapped and cheered as they went along on the ride of this performance.
I wish I could say that my life changed then.But out of college,I went deeper into my interior self,taking a job that required little human contact.A few years later,I became a newspaper editor,which required talking to many people.For those times,I depended on index(索引) cards.But I reminded myself that Angelou hadn't used notes.
Today,I'm in my 50s.I am speaking comfortably about what I really know to be true.I get out there now and live.

分析 本文是记叙文,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了一位作家所说的话和他的表演对自己的深远影响.
解答 24.D.推理判断题.根据第一段的neveragainsee those popular girls,the ones who drove quiet girls like me可推测,作者应该是个比较腼腆的女孩.倒数第二段的 I went deeper into my interior self也是提示;故选D.
25.C.推理判断题.根据第四段Angetou所说的话You need to get out there and live 可知,Angelou拒绝作者照顾她的皮草外套的建议是希望作者把时间用在该用的地方,应该去看表演而不是看衣服;故选C.
26.B.细节理解题.根据倒数第当段fifl wish I could say that my life changed then.But out of college,I went deeper into my interior self,taking a job that required little human contact 可知,作者刚毕业时,并未因Angelou的话而改变,还是把自己封闭起来;故选B.

Taxi booking apps have been available for more than a year,but in the past couple of months,their appeal has (47)Gbecause of subsidies(补贴)offered by the two major players in the business,Kuaidi Dache and Di di Dache.Drivers receive 10yuan for the first ten fares they accept using a taxi app and customers receive a 13yuan rebate(退款优惠)for using an app.The apps put extra money into the drivers'pockets and they offer a savings to customers.Everybody wins,right?
Well,not everybody.The shanghai government has received hundreds of (48)D from non-app users who have been left waiting on the curb during the cold,wet Shanghai spring.Many of the complaints are from older people who are (49)K with new technology like smart phones and they have suffered long waits for taxis after shopping at the market or visiting the doctor.
The city's response has been to (50)Ethe use taxi apps during the morning and evening rush hours,they argue that,taxis are a public service and should be (51)I to everyone,smart phone or no smart phone.Drivers who ignore the ban will be fined two hundred yuan and their work (52)J will be suspended for 15days.It's not certain how effective the ban will be since it will be hard to enforce,but the city fell it had to do something
The taxi app flap is really the result of competition between China's Internet giants Alibaba and Tencent.Both want more people to use their (53)Cpayment platforms and they are behind the subsidies that Kuaidi Dache and Didi Dache are offering.It's a strategy that is costing Alibaba and Tencent hundreds of million of yuan and it will be hard to maintain.So the taxi app flap will (54)F disappear when the money runs out.In the meantime,it seems people will just have to get used to all those empty taxis passing them by.
