Question

15．The honking of horns （喇叭），as anyone who has tried to get more than a few minutes of sleep in New York will tell you，is one of the city's most widely enjoyed common pastimes．But Aaron Naparstek has had enough of it．On one occasion，the 31-year-old website developer approached the open window of a 4x4．waited for the driver to finish honking，offered a polite"excuse me"and then yelled"Ho-o-o-o-o-o-onk!"in his face．（The response was fierce anger．） Then a few months ago he lost his patience and threw three eggs from the window of his Brooklyn apartment on to the windscreen of a car honking loudly below．But the driver threatened to kill him．So，nobly，he chose the path of non-violence．He started writing anti-honking haiku verses-honku，he called them-and taped them to local lampposts：
Oh．forget Enron*
The problem around here is
All the damn honking
（*Enron_： a major American company that recently caused a scandal by going bankrupt because of corrupt mismanagement）
"Then this really weird thing started happening，"Naparstek says．"All these other haiku started appearing that I hadn't written．"Naparstek's section of Brooklyn is now covered in anti-honking poetry，written by everyone from scary environmental activist types to violent revolutionaries；
Patience slowly fades
Residents store up their eggs
That day is coming soon．
Inevitably Naparstek has started a website-www．honku．org-and now people from across the country send him news of their own anti-honking campaigns．Poetry，it turns out，can change the world after all （if you've got enough tape ）．Then，just recently，anti-anti-honking haiku started to appear，taped up by locals who thought Naparstek should stop worrying about honking and start worrying about starving children，say，or war in the Middle East instead．Naparstek has an answer for that．"Stop me if this is too tenuous（不靠譜的），"he says，"but they talk about the violence in the Middle East like it's a force of nature，like it's beyond our control．But actually it's kind of like the honking-the violence is man-made．If we can figure out how to stop honking on Clinton Street，I think we could learn some things that we could use on a large scale．"He pauses for a moment．"I told you it was tenuous．"

Answer 1

分析 本文屬于社會文化類的閱讀短文．主要描述了在紐約，騎車喇叭帶給人們的巨大困擾．一位網(wǎng)站開發(fā)人員因為曾經(jīng)較不理智的行為受到警告甚至威脅，后來改變了對這一行為的抵制方法，采用寫打油詩的形式來表達自己的不滿，語言幽默詼諧，受到了較好的效果．

解答 55-60 ADCBAC
55．A．．細節(jié)理解題．從第一段第一句及后文提到的兩個例子：大喊"Ho-o-o-o-o-o-onk"以及用雞蛋砸擋風玻璃可知，在紐約，汽車喇叭聲嚴重影響了人們的正常生活．故選A．
56．D．．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段中的"So，nobly，he chose the path of non-violence"以及后文提到的他寫詩、建網(wǎng)站等行為可知，他后來采取了和平的非暴力的方式．故選D．
57．C．．詞義猜測題．根據(jù)畫線詞下面的內(nèi)容以及文章后半部分提到的poetry可知，haiku應該是一種詩歌形式．故選C．
58． B．．推理判斷題．根據(jù)最后一段第一句話可知，全國很多人都對他的網(wǎng)站表示支持，由此可以推斷B項正確．
59．A．．推理判斷題．根據(jù)最后一段中Naparstek的話可知，他認為如果能夠解決汽車喇叭聲的問題的話，可以將解決的方法在更大的范圍內(nèi)推廣．因此，他認為，解決這個問題和解決饑餓和戰(zhàn)爭等問題一樣，意義重大．故選A．
60．C．．推理判斷題．通讀全文可知，作者是以一種幽默的口吻寫這篇文章的；故選C．

點評 本文屬于社會文化類閱讀．主要考查學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力．做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確選擇．在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
