题目内容

【题目】I used to think that life in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, was filled with never-changing routines. I hated that everyone seemed to know everything about everyone else. Everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives. I also didn’t like the fact that people seemed very close-minded. I felt trapped. I felt like I was missing out on opportunities. It seemed to me that city life would be the opposite.

Then I took my first trip to New York City. I couldn’t wait to experience the city. However, when I arrived in the Big Apple, it wasn’t at all what I had imagined. I knew it was home to thousands of people, but I hadn’t had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time. All the streets were filled with people. I also felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace. When I took the subway for the first time, I said hello to the middle-aged woman next to me. She looked at me with dislike and didn’t say a word.

After just one day, I realized how important my small town is to me. Now I appreciate the familiar faces I see every day. I like the feeling of security（安全） and belonging my town offers. Jim Thorpe gives me a sense of community and togetherness that the city doesn’t provide. I realize just how much a simple hello does for a stranger — it really can make your day a little better.

My big trip showed me that my small town really has instilled(注入) morals and values in me that I didn’t even know I had. I never would have known what a big place my town holds in my heart if I had not taken that trip to New York City.

【1】How did the author feel about life in Jim Thorpe at first?

A. People there cared little about others.

B. People there liked to accept new things.

C. Living there was a great disadvantage.

D. There were many chances of career development.

【2】What surprised the author most in New York City?

A. The gestures of greeting.

B. The modern transportation.

C. The fast pace of life.

D. The crowded streets.

【3】What made the author change his / her attitudes to his /her hometown?

A. Travelling to New York City.

B. The familiar faces in Jim Thorpe.

C. A big place in his / her town.

D. Everybody likes talking about others.

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Love of my small town

B. A sense of community

C. A pleasant trip to New York City

D. Differences between big cities and small towns

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】A

【4】A

【解析】

试题分析：作者开始不喜欢自己的家乡，但是一次旅行却改变了作者的态度。

【1】C 推理判断题。第一段中作者列举了对生活在小镇的看法：一成不变，人们喜欢流言蜚语。思想闭塞，得不到机会等等，这说明作者认为生活在Jim Thorpe这个小镇很不好。故选C。

【2】D细节理解题。根据第二段中的but I hadn’t had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time. All the streets were filled with people.可知，最让作者感到意外的是街里拥挤的人群。故选D。

【3】A推理判断题。作者开始认为自己的家乡不好，但是到纽约后才发现自己家乡的优点。故选A。

【4】A主旨大意题。作者到纽约的一次旅行改变了作者对家乡的固有看法。他开始明白了自己家乡的重要性，明白了自己对家乡的热爱。可知A项最适合做标题。

【名师点拨】

推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。推理判断题的题干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude indicate等标志性词语。 这种题型主要包括细节判断题、态度观点推断题、写作意图推断题、文章出处判断题和猜测想象推断题。比如第26小题，A推理判断题。作者开始认为自己的家乡不好，但是到纽约后才发现自己家乡的优点。故选A。

After Steve Jobs died，his friend Larry Ellison said something like this，"There will never be another Steve Jobs". 【1】Larry wrote this list of Steve's life lessons to remind us all.

Love what you do.

Surely Steve became a billionaire when he brought Apple back. Apple was his calling— even after he got fired from the company. We all have bad jobs at one point in our lives. But the question is: am I in the right job? Have I found the right company? Life doesn't go on forever. 【2】

Don't do it all by yourself.

Steve learned a great leader can't do it all by himself. He needs people. They must be talented. 【3】 They must be given the opportunity to succeed and fail. In short, we have to learn to be a great leader if we want to see our great ideas and hard work truly have an influence on the world.

【4】 .

Apple is always the best at creating a new product that meets the exact needs of users. It's empathy (共鸣) that helps Apple achieve this. Whenever the user has the first touch with a new Apple product, he says "Wow, it's just what I need". Remember, you're King in the business world if you know exactly what consumers desire.

Don't mess around with your health.

【5】 That's the most important lesson from Steve's life. It's great to learn from him now, but the fact is that he should still be here if he had treated his cancer properly. Instead, Steve chose a naturopathic (自然疗法) solution that wasn't effective. When he finally decided to take his doctor's original advice, it was too late.

A. Be the best in your field.

B. They must be inspired.

C. Get on our right path now.

E. Put yourself in the other person's shoes.

F. Will this lead to a successful career?

G. What are the key things that we can learn from him?

One afternoon, I was wandering on the street when I saw my brother by the chance. He was behaving very strange. He looked around before going quickly into a shop. When he came down, he had a box in his hand. I knew some villagers turned to steal because of poverty. The thought whether my brother could be one of them drove me crazily. I was determined to find out the truth. When he questioned, tears filled his eyes. He said he was collecting beer bottle from kind shopkeepers, but would feel embarrassing if he was seen by others. I was very sorry that I have misunderstood my brother.

【题目】阅读理解。

How many times do you check your Moments or Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?

Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, don’t worry. Psychological findings have shown it’s completely normal.

In fact, the pleasure we derive from (取自) getting a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we can’t help wanting more.

According to the findings of the UCLA Brain Mapping Center, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反馈电路) in the teens’ brains are particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were activated when they received “likes” on a social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from it worked equally.

So does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible?

Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention.

In “Why do people crave (渴望) attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to reproduce these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to be eager for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.

In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple.

“If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem (自尊) but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker in the Journal of Social Issues.

【1】You may find this text in a magazine about ____.

A. technology B. education

C. entertainment D. social life

【2】Who will NOT naturally expect attention according to Radwan?

A. People who are living with their parents.

B. Those who lack social recognition.

C. People who are the focus of attention.

D. Those who want to blanket what they’ve done.

【3】We know from the last paragraph that ____.

A. checking your Moments or Facebook page is a waste of time

B. it is helpful to set goals concerning making contributions

C. focusing on one’s self-esteem is quite natural

D. self-teem has a bad effect on one’s goals

【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s addiction to “thumbs up”?

A. worried. B. objective.

C. critical. D. supportive.
