【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項。

(2012年遼寧卷，C)If Confucius(孔子) were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles. He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.

While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day，few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It's nothing personal. Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.

But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.

In the past two decades，the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently，the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art，history and philosophy(哲學(xué))．Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Western philosophy. Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.

So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well.

Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.

As for the old thinker，he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West，even if his birthday is.

【1】The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.

A．provide some key facts about Confucius

B．a(chǎn)ttract the readers' interest in the subject

C．show great respect for the ancient thinker

D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations

【2】We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students ________.

A．have a great interest in studying Chinese

B．take an active part in Chinese competitions

C．try to get high scores in Chinese exams

D．fight for a chance to learn Chinese

【3】What is the best title for the passage?

A．Forgotten Wisdom in America

B．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language

C．Chinese Culture for Westerners

D．Old Thinker with a Big Future

【4】The passage is likely to appear in ________.

A．a(chǎn) biography

B．a(chǎn) history paper

C．a(chǎn) newspaper

D．a(chǎn) philosophy textbook

【答案】【1】B

【2】A

【3】D

【4】C

【解析】【1】推理判斷題。開篇用了虛擬語氣，為的是吸引讀者對孔子這一話題的注意。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段內(nèi)容特別是Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing to learn Chinese可知美國學(xué)生對學(xué)習(xí)漢語感興趣。

【3】主旨大意題。文章首段提及Confucius (the old thinker)，然后談到只要外國人想更好地了解中國就要研究孔子，中國政府在80個國家建立孔子研究院，特別是美國學(xué)生爭相學(xué)習(xí)漢語。所以文章題目應(yīng)為D。

【4】文章出處題。文章講述了外國人學(xué)習(xí)漢語的熱潮，中國政府在西方國家設(shè)立孔子研究院，孔子思想將長存。應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)在報紙上，而不是生物上，也不是歷史書上，更不是哲學(xué)課本上。

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項。

(2012年沈陽模擬) They're so young! What sets apart (區(qū)別) the new TV adaptation (改編) of the classic novel A Dream of Red Mansions is the youthfulness of the players.

The producers made a great effort to bring in young actors. Most of them were born in the late 1980s and 1990s. At the same time, a team of 20somethings was given responsibility for adapting the novel for TV screens.

It is unusual for a director to pick a group of young people with little scriptwriting (寫劇本) experience to take on such a big task. Most would expect the job to be given to more seasoned (經(jīng)驗豐富的) writers.

“I understand why director Li Shaohong has taken this unusual approach，” writes movie critic Raymond Zhou in China Daily. “She wants the drama to resonate (共鳴) with today's young people.”

Besides giving the remake a youthful flavor, Li also wanted to go back to the original. The popular 1986 adaptation left out many important parts of the novel that were considered superstitious (迷信的) back then. For this adaptation Li wanted strict faith to A Dream of Red Mansions, to make sure young audiences will get a real sense of the novel.

However, since people know the 1986 adaptation so well, they compare the old and new shows. The costumes, makeup and scenery in new drama are controversial (被爭論的). Nie Lina, 16, of Yantai No.1 High School in Shandong Province, believes it is a bad idea for actors to have such strange hairstyles. The actors remind me of Peking Opera performers, not people living in Qing Dynasty time. Li Youran, 16, of Nanjing Foreign Language School, complains the music is strange and some scenes are scary. She also believes the actors are not playing in the spirit of the characters.

But Zhou defends (捍衛(wèi)) the remake as an attempt at faithful adaptation. The value of the adaptation of a novel should be judged (評價) by how faithful it is to the novel—it shouldn't be judged against another adaptation. However, Zhou also argues that a director has the right to make his or her own work of art：an artist has the right to interpret (闡釋) a classic based on his or her own understanding...You may not like it, but you cannot deny (否認(rèn)) him or her that right.

【1】Which of the following statements is the difference between the new adaptation and the old one?

A．The actors are very famous.

B．The actors are very young.

C．The director is very famous.

D．The producers are very young.

【2】According to Zhou，a movie critic，the director Li Shaohong picked young players because ________.

A．she wanted today's young people love the new drama

B．she wanted to train young actors

C．she liked to attempt a new unusual approach

D．she thought the new drama is fit for young players to act

【3】Besides the youthfulness，the director wants to make the new adaptation ________.

A．superstitious

B．sensible

C．faithful

D．unexpected

【4】What does the underlined word in the third paragraph mean，according to the passage?

A．young

B．old

C．famous

D．experienced

【5】According to the audiences，which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．Mostspan> audiences are satisfied with the new drama.

B．Lina believes the music in the drama is strange.

C．Zhou thinks it is right to be faithful.

D．Li Youran thinks it is wrong for players to have strange hairstyles.

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項。

I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention. And especially if it’s given from the heart. When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but receive them. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don’t value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “I’m so sorry,” when someone is in pain.

One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about them. Eventually, she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.

I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs, until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down, to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.

This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.

【1】What does the author value most in the communication with each other?

A．Deep understanding.

B．Saying “I'm sorry”．

C．Attention from heart.

D．Doing nothing.

【2】The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because ________.

A．she didn't get enough respect from others

B．she was discouraged by being often interrupted

C．people often told her their own opinions

D．people couldn’t understand her sad situation

【3】If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying，you may ________.

A．hurt his feelings

B．make him embarrassed

C．encourage him to continue to cry

D．stop him from letting out his sorrow

【4】It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating，________.

A．listening is a perfect way to respond to others

B．people keep silent because they don't know the answer

C．keeping silent means being too shy to speak

D．it is easy to form the habit of listening silently

【5】Which of the following might be the author's opinion about communication?

A．Keep silent.

B．Just listen.

C．Be careful.

D．Tell your own story.

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中選出最佳選項。

Celebrities(名人) have become a powerful influence on some people because of their social position and their economic situation.

First，some people admire and imitate stars because they allow themselves to be influenced by the media. Television，radio，and magazines invade(侵?jǐn)_) the lives of audience with a variety of shows，information，and publications about stars and their lives. For instance，Britney Spears has become the target of paparazzi(狗仔隊)．In May，Britney appeared at the front page of the most popular magazines revealing that she married her best friend in Vegas，Nevada. Media also invade stars' lives because reporters know they get high profits from readers who buy and follow their favorite artists' news.

Second，some mad audience imitate their celebrities for their lack of confidence. Some people who are shy and lack personality may find that imitating others will cause a good impression. For instance，my cousin Jenny，who lacks a social life because of her introverted(內(nèi)向的) personality，believes that acting and dressing like Jennifer Lopez will make her popular in high school.

Finally，several fans of stars imitate them because of peer(同齡人) pressure. Since my niece's girlfriends formed an Antonio Banderas' fan club，she had also joined the group. Although she wasn't a huge fan of his，now she collects most of Banderas' possessions. In fact，when I asked Arianna，my niece，why she was part of Banderas' fan club，she replied with a doubtful tone that she did not wish to be rejected by the other teens.

In conclusion，it is true that celebrities play spectacular roles in their performances in Hollywood，which entertains many people all over the world；however，modern celebrities influence the audience to the point where their fans admire and try to imitate their lives.

【1】What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．Why people are influenced by celebrities.

B．The harmful influence of celebrities.

C．What kind of people are influenced by celebrities.

D．How to avoid the influence of celebrities.

【2】We can infer from Paragraph 2 that ________.

A．media are on the side of stars

B．stars know how to take advantage of media

C．media can give wrong information about stars

D．media invade stars' lives for their own good

【3】Jenny acts and dresses like Jennifer Lopez because ______________.

A．she admires Jennifer Lopez's personality

B．she wants to become famous too

C．she wants to change her own personality

D．she lacks selfconfidence

【4】Arianna joined the Antonio Banderas' fan club to ________.

A．seek encouragement from the star
