【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案。
The Swedish Academy's mid-October announcement regarding literature seldom fails to cause second-guessing.
Bob Dylan was awarded the big prize this morning, and my social media has been alive with indignation ever since. The Nobel did not go to those excellent novelists but to a songwriter. Some of those same people are still protesting that last year it was warded to Svetlana Alexievich, a “journalist”. They have decided, for whatever reasons, that song lyrics(歌詞) are not literature.
And people are upset because Bob Dylan is the voice of some generation other than theirs, because he works in a popular style, because he does not work in this minute's popular style, because he appeared on a car commercial that aired during the Super Bowl, because his songwriting skills dropped off — he was famous long ago, after all.
You may not think of Dylan as a poet, but Dylan created a climate in which lyrics were taken seriously. And Dylan accomplished something that few novelists or poets or for that matter songwriters have managed to do in our time: he changed the time he lived. Through words, with music, he affected the opinions and ambitions of hundreds of millions of people all over the world. The Nobel Prize in Literature cannot ever be all things to all people, and while this year's award failed to accomplish various possible objectives, it was not in any way misapplied.
（1）What does the underlined word “indignation” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Curiosity.
B.Happiness.
C.Excitement.
D.Anger.
（2）Why are people upset about Dylan's being awarded?
A.He failed to represent any generation.
B.He didn't have good songwriting skills.
C.He played badly in the Super Bowl.
D.He is not popular any longer.
（3）Paragraph 4 mainly focuses on Dylan's _________.
A.style
B.influence
C.efforts
D.ambitions
（4）Which can serve as the title of the passage?
A.No dish suits all tastes
B.Great minds think alike
C.Misfortune may be actual blessing
D.Judge not according to the appearance

【答案】
（1）D
（2）D
（3）B
（4）A
【解析】本文主要介紹了諾貝爾文學獎頒發(fā)給了歌詞作家Bob Dylan，此事引起了人們的爭論，認為歌詞不是文學作品，但Bob Dylan對文化的貢獻是值得肯定的。
（1）詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線句后的The Nobel did not go to those excellent novelists but to a songwriter.可知，一些人不滿諾貝爾文學獎不頒發(fā)給優(yōu)秀的小說家而是頒給了一個詞曲作者，所以我們的社會媒體應該是充滿憤怒。由此可知畫線詞詞義為“憤怒、生氣”，故D項正確。
（2）細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句“because his songwriting skills dropped off—he was famous long ago, after all.”可知，一些人不滿諾貝爾文學獎頒給Bob Dylan是因為他們認為Bob Dylan的歌曲創(chuàng)作能力已經(jīng)下降，他是很久以前出名，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)不再出名了，故選D項正確。
（3）推理判斷題。通讀第四段可知，本段主要介紹了Bob Dylan的作品對人們及文化的影響，他創(chuàng)作了一種認真對待歌詞的氛圍，獲得了其他小說家和詩人無法比擬的成就，改變了我們生活的這個時代，影響著世界各地人民的觀點和抱負，故選B項正確。
（4）主旨大意題。由全文內(nèi)容特別是最后一段可知，諾貝爾文學獎頒發(fā)給了Bob Dylan，但人們對此褒貶不一，這充分印證了眾口難調(diào)的道理。A. No dish suits all tastes. 眾口難調(diào)；B. Great minds think alike.英雄所見略同；C. Misfortune may be actual blessing. 塞翁失馬，焉知非福；D. Judge not according to the appearance. 不要以貌取人。故選A項正確。

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案。
Dr. Michael Prager, a leading Botox expert, said that a growing number of women are developing something called “computer face”. He also mentioned that professionals who worked long hours in front of a screen were ending up with saggy jowls（顎骨下垂）,“turkey neck” and deep-set wrinkles（皺紋） on their forehead and around their eyes.
The Botox expert said that, of all his clients, office workers were most likely to show premature （過早的）signs of aging. “ If you are one of the unfortunate people who frown（皺眉）while you are concentrating on the screen then, over time, you will inevitably（不可避免地） end up with frown lines.' Dr. Prager said. “What is perhaps more surprising is the number of women with saggy jowls because they are sitting in one position for so long. If you spend most of the time looking down then the neck muscles shorten and go saggy, eventually giving you a second neck.”
Dr. Prager, who has a practice near Harley Street in London, said he encourages his clients（客戶） to put a mirror next to their computer so they can see if they are frowning at the screen. “When people are stressed or thinking hard about something, then they will often put on agrumpy（脾氣暴躁的）face' without even knowing what they are doing. When my clients put a mirror next to their desk, they are often shocked by the angry, frowning face which stares back at them.”
He said, “The women I am seeing at the moment have only been using computers at work for the last decade or so. But women in their 20s have grown up with them and use them for every single task. I think the problem is going to become much, much worse. In another ten years, they could be looking quite awful.”
Dr. Prager said there were several simple steps which could avoid “computer face” such as regular screen breaks and stretching the neck muscles. And, of course, there was always Botox. He said that, after a couple of sessions of Botox, the habit of “grumpy face” could be broken.
（1）According to the passage, which of the following are signs of aging?
A.Saggy jowls and short necks
B.Turkey neck and frown lines
C.Deep-set wrinkles and angry faces
D.Second neck and stressed muscles
（2）Why does Dr. Prager suggest a mirror for his clients?
A.To be aware of their “computer face”
B.To see if they have got a second neck
C.To make sure their make-up is perfect
D.To find more signs of premature aging
（3）From the last 2 paragraphs, we can know that_____
A.“computer face” is avoidable
B.we should give up using computers
C.we should break the habit of “grumpy face”
D.the younger generation is worse at computers

【題目】Staring lovingly at your reflection in the mirror gets old, especially if it's not a magical one that tells you you're the fairest of them all. But what if all that time you already spend in front of a mirror could actually make you the most beautiful person in the land? Many smart mirrors already make this promise, but HiMirror is the first one you can actually buy, and it costs $ 189. The secret comes in the form of a camera that takes pictures of your natural appearance to analyze your complexion (面色), before offering you tips on how to get better skin. I tried it out recently and was impressed by how many things it could do.

The 5. 5-pound mirror houses a 14-inch LCD screen and has a camera sitting in the middle of a ring flash, which helps light your face for better images. HiMirror takes a picture of your face every day to analyze your wrinkles, dark spots, dark circles and red spots. The idea is to track how your skin changes over time, and flag your so-called problems so you can take early measures to improve upon your skin and achieve your beauty goals. HiMirror pairs with an IOS or Android app so you can track your complexion on the go.

In addition, HiMirror will play tutorial videos on proper skin-care techniques, stream music from Spotify and show you the weather forecast and UV index for the day. You can also tell it the types of beauty products you use, so it can determine whether they've been effective in treating your target areas. Adding a product to what the company calls your "Beauty Box" simply requires holding up its bar code to the camera and scanning it. It's not clear yet how many brands and products this feature supports, but most big brands are recognized.

【1】How does HiMirror work?

A. By making you the most beautiful person in the world.

B. By introducing some specialists to give you some help.

C. By recommending the types of beauty products to you.

D. By taking photos of your face to analyze your complexion

【2】HiMirror tracks complexion with the help of____ .

A. a "Beauty Box" B. music from Spotify

C. the weather forecast D. an IOS Or Android app

【3】The last paragraph is mainly to tell us

C. when HiMirror goes on the market D. the inspiration of designing HiMirror

【4】What can be the best title for the text7

A. A magic mirror to make you beautiful

B. Some tips about using a smart mirror

C. A magic mirror to go on the market

D. Some reactions of using a smart mirror

【題目】Amazing Facts About Elf Owls

Brief Introduction

The elf owl (a kind of owl) is mostly found in the southwestern parts of the United States and Mexico. During the spring and summer seasons, it moves to Arizona and New Mexico. It returns to Mexico for the winter. The elf owl doesn’t build its nest. It lives in tree holes.

Features

The elf owl is a yellow bird. Its wings are dark and about .48-61 centimeters long. Its eyes are bright yellow. Its feet are large. It is the smallest owl of the species. It is about 12.5-14.5 centimeters long. It is also the world’s lightest owl, weighing not more than 40 grams. In general, female elf owls weigh more than male ones.

The female usually lays three eggs at a time. After the young elf owls are born，their mother will feed them with worms(蠕蟲) for up to 3-4 weeks. After 10 weeks, the young ones are fully grown and ready to take flight.

Living Habits

The elf owls are not aggressive birds. When danger comes, they will fly away in the other direction, rather than stay and fact the danger or the enemies. Besides flying，the elf owl can also walk and climb like a parrot. The elf owl is most active after dusk，during the night, and just before dawn. It can produce many different kinds of sounds. It can live for 3-6 years in the wild. If they are kept in cages, they can live for 10-14 years. The elf owls are now in danger because of the loss of habitat.
