【2】is built

【3】on

【4】featuring

【5】its

【6】Attached

【7】whether

【8】considerably

【9】an

10】lower

【解析】

【文章大意】本文为说明文,主要介绍了有关美国返校节的内容。

【1】 考查名词。分析句子结构可知,空处作celebrating的宾语,应用所给词的名词形式。表示存在

【2】 考查动词的时态和语态。返校节以一个中心事件为基础。此处介绍的是通常的客观情况,故用一般现在时主语It指代上文的Homecoming,它和build之间为被动关系,此处要用被动语态。

【3】 考查介词。on occasion偶尔,有时,与上文中的most often相对应。

【4】 考查非谓语动词。feature在此作动词,意为……为特色,与a parade存在逻辑上的主动关系,应使用现在分词作后置定语。

【5】 考查代词。本题看似简单,但是要弄清楚空处指代的对象比较难,因为空前出现了the school,marching band,sports teams,the coronation。但是根据句意然而,活动通常包括足球比赛……以学校的乐队、运动队伍为特色的游行和返校节皇后或国王的加冕可知,返校节皇后或国王应该是学校的,空处指代学校的,故填its。

【6】 考查非谓语动词。attach与其逻辑主语Homecoming之间为动宾关系,故应用其过去分词形式作状语。

【7】 考查状语从句。不管是足球还是另外的运动,比赛通常包括…… 根据后面的or可知,此处用whether不管……(还是)引导让步状语从句。

【8】 考查副词。此处表示弱得相当多的对手,修饰形容词应用副词。

【9】 考查冠词。win作名词表示(在比赛、竞赛中的)胜利时通常为可数名词,且空后是读音以元音音素开头的单词,故填an。

【10】 考查形容词比较级。根据句意以及上文中的weaker schools可知,此处应使用比较级。

Bad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.

"The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media," says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. "They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer."

Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the "most e-mailed" list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to shae this positive feeling with others.

Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, "Contagious: Why Things Catch On."

【1】 What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?

A. News reports. B. Research papers.

C. Private e-mails. D. Daily conversations.

【2】What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?

A. They’re socially inactive. B. They’re good at telling stories.

C. They’re inconsiderate of others. D. They’re careful with their words.

【3】 Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?

A. Sports news. B. Science articles.

C. Personal accounts. D. Financial reviews.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide. B. Online News Attracts More People.

C. Reading Habits Change with the Times. D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks.

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。

How can a teen set themselves up for success? Here are some important points that you may find helpful.

Figure out your goals in life and work toward them. Start thinking about careers you would like to be in, but make a good choice based on your interests and strengths. 1 You could also work towards non-career related goals, such as creating your own fundraiser, getting good grades in school, joining in a team sport, etc. Challenge yourself and you’ll be surprised at what you can accomplish!

Don’t get into any trouble, legal or otherwise. It could ruin your future plans. Avoid the peer pressure and keep away from the cigarettes, alcohol, and drugs. 2 If you’re being pressured into anything, walk away. If you can avoid these things during your teen years, they’re a lot easier to avoid once you’re out of high school and away from peer pressure.

Have good friends to help you out! 3 Be with people who make you happy. Create a group of supportive, loving friends that can help you succeed in life and live your dreams. Find a few really good friends that will stick with you once you leave high school.

4 Join a sports team at school or out of school. Take your dog for a nice, long walk. Join a yoga group, go swimming at the local recreation center, or do sit-ups during commercial breaks on TV! Just exercise! 5 Studies show that people who are actively involved in activities in their teen years will be more active when they’re adults.

A. Get active!

B. Go for a run around your neighborhood.

C. This could be your job for the rest of your life!

D. You will start forming your own ideas this way.

E. It helps you feel better, mentally and physically.

F. Friends are there to support you and lift your spirits.

G. Obey the law and avoid ending up in the back of a police car.
