【解析】

本文是一则广告，属于应用文。详细介绍了周末在Tampa Bay进行的五项活动的具体信息，以吸引更多的游客前来参观。

【1】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句After visiting Santa, go skating on a simulated (模拟的) ice place.可知Santa and Ice Skating in St. Petersburg有滑冰活动，游客可以联系这一活动的联系电话(727) 893-7441。故A项正确。

【2】细节理解题。根据第五段第一句The Tony Award-winning musical is about an American soldier, a secret French girl and a European city in the consequence of war.可知周末有音乐活动，如果你想享受音乐，可以到这一活动举行的场所Carol Morsani Hall，故B项正确。

【3】推理判断题。根据最后一段An ensemble (重唱) brings a few dozen characters to life with live, on-stage sound effects, to present the story of George Bailey, who considers taking his own life可知George Bailey想要自杀。这是一个令人悲伤的故事，故C项正确。

本文属于信息筛选题。信息寻找题一般在应用文体中较常见，体现于查字典、阅读广告、公告、演出海报、车船航班时间表等之中。这类阅读材料包含的某一方面的信息非常全面，能满足各种人对信息的需求，但在高考试题中，常常是就某一方面提问，考生完全没有必要从头到尾仔细阅读，因为材料中有很多冗余无效信息。做此类题时，宜采用“题干定全法”。即：先阅读题干，然后根据问题要求，有针对性地阅读相关部分快速寻找有效信息。

广告是阅读理解题常考的一种题材。广告属应用文体。严格来说广告属快速寻找信息题。但是广告有着其他快速寻找信息题不同的特点。广告文体简洁明快，省略了大量的词语，达到了篇幅小、信息多的目的。同时具有语言精练，形象性、鼓动性强的良好效果。广告阅读题多为细节理解题，关键在于正确理解广告内容。考生必须具备较强的语言运用能力，熟悉文化背景，利用各种手段（如：补全、联想、推测等）正确解读广告的内容。通常运用“补全成分法”和“联想推测法”两种方法来解读广告的内容。做题方法同样采用“题干定向法”。

（1）补全成分法

省略名在广告体阅读材料中大量出现，可以说广告阅读理解材料中大多数句子都是省略句。我们应结合全文语境及逻辑关系将省略句补全，从而更加准确地理解。如：Driver wanted. 根据文义，可将该句补充为：A driver will be wanted. (招聘一名司机)。

（2）联想推测法

在些广告时间、日期、地点、电话、票价等用了缩略词，甚至一概没有提及，这就需要考生前后连贯，充分想象，整体理解。搜寻已知信息，推断语篇意义。

【题目】 Attitude Is Everything Jerry was the kind of guy who was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say.

One day I asked him, “I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, ‘Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a bad mood or in a good mood.’ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.” Soon thereafter, I left the city and we lost touch. Several years later, I heard Jerry did something surprising: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry survived. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of care, Jerry was released from the hospital with pieces of the bullets(子弹) still in his body.

I saw Jerry six months after the accident. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. “The first thing through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or to die. I chose to live. ”“Weren’t you scared?” I asked. Jerry continued, “The paramedics(护理人员) were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But in the emergency room, the facial expressions of the doctors and nurses really scared me. In their eye, I read, ‘He’s a dead man.’ I knew I need to take actions.” “What did you do?” I asked. “Well, a nurse asked me if I was allergic to anything,” said Jerry.“The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Yes! Bullets!’ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”

【1】When facing the robbery, Jerry .

A. was calm and brave

B. wasn’t scared though he slipped off the combination

C. was scared in such a dangerous situation

D. exercised self control in time of danger

【2】Jerry’s joke in the emergency room .

A. encouraged the doctors and nurses to bring him back to life

B. told the doctors to take him as dead during the operation

C. convinced the doctors he was not afraid of the operation

D. made the doctors and nurses feel light hearted

【3】We can conclude from the passage that .

A. we mustn’t lose self control in time of danger

B. amazing attitudes can’t help us cope with difficult situations

C. negative thoughts of an unpleasant situation may result in helplessness

D. taking positive attitudes is the key to living fully

【题目】There are a lot of reasons why people calling 911 might not be able to tell operators which floor they’re on in a high-rise building. They could be injured or simply confused. Yet precious minutes are wasted when emergency personnel have to search a building to find a person in need. With a new app called Sensory, emergency responders soon may be able to use a caller’s smartphone to locate his exact position in a building.

Columbia University researchers William Falcon and Henning Schulzrinne created Sensory using a two-step process. First, they used all existing smartphone features that help narrow down a caller’s location. All iPhones produced after 2014 already include GPS and altimeter（测高仪） that can help emergency responders determine if a person is outdoors or inside a building. But when it comes to tall buildings, just knowing a person’s altitude may not be enough，because the i distance between floors changes from one building to another.

So Falcon and Schulzrinne analysed the plans of figuring out the average distance between floors in residential（住宅的）buildings and office buildings among more than 1000 buildings in New York City. They tested their app in 63 experiments in five high-rise buildings and found that it could find a caller’s location within two floors with about a 91 percent accuracy.

In a survey conducted by Find Me 911 this year, dispatchers（调度员）said that they regularly received calls from people in need who often couldn’t share their location. They sometimes accidentally give the wrong address or floor number. Some callers are too young to know their address. Dispatchers also received calls from those who are deaf or have hearing problems and they often couldn’t hear the operator’s questions.

The new Sensory app could help shave precious minutes off the time it takes first responders to get to those calling for help. And it could make the difference between life and death.

【1】The new app Sensory can be used to .

A. provide emergency measures B. speed the connection to 911

C. locate emergency callers accurately D. improve the function of smartphones

【2】What can the Sensory’s first step help emergency responders do?

A. Make use of a smartphone’s sensors. B. Detect whether a caller is indoors.

C. Combine GPS and signal strength. D. Help callers speak clearly and accurately.

【3】What does Paragraph 4 really want to tell us?

A. The reasons for failing to get exact location.

B. The basic information about emergencies.

C. The potential danger of failing to rescue.

D. The different kinds of emergency callers.

【4】What is the author’s attitude to the new app?

A. Skeptical. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Opposed.
