【解析】

本文是一篇應(yīng)用文。主要講述OSCAR THEATRE的訂票方式及不同人員的不同優(yōu)惠方式。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章“Stating the performance and choice of seats, enclosing a cheque, postal order, or your credit card details to Oscar Theatre Box Office, PO Box 220, Main street.” 說明演出情況及座位選擇，并附上支票、郵政匯票或信用卡詳情，寄往主街220號郵政信箱奧斯卡劇院票房。故選D項。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。A選項“A group of ten adults going to a performance can claim a discount.” 十個成年人去看演出可以申請折扣。文中是12人或者更多，因此A選項錯誤；A school party of 15 persons that book in advance pay $135 in total for a performance. 15人提前預(yù)訂的學(xué)校聚會，總共支付演出135美元。文中school parties of ten or more can book $9 tickets in advance and will get every tenth ticket free. 十人或以上的學(xué)校派對可以提前預(yù)訂9美元的門票，每第十張票免費。因此15人應(yīng)支付126美元，故B選項錯誤；C選項Someone accompanying a wheelchair user to a performance receives a discount. 陪同輪椅使用者看表演的人可享受折扣。文中half-price seats are available for people with disabilities and one companion. 半價座位可供殘障人士和一名陪同使用。故C選項正確；D選項An 18-year-old teenager is eligible for Saver discounts. 一個18歲的青少年有資格獲得優(yōu)惠折扣。文中Savers are available for children up to 16 years old, 優(yōu)惠適用于16歲以下的兒童，故D選項錯誤。故選C項。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章Standby部分的“best available seats are on sale for $6 from one hour before the performance for people eligible(有資格的) for Saver and Supersaver discounts and thirty minutes before for all other customers.” 最好的座位在演出前一小時以6美元的價格出售給有資格享受優(yōu)惠和超級優(yōu)惠折扣的人，在演出前30分鐘出售給所有其他顧客。故選B項。

應(yīng)用文中題目多為細(xì)節(jié)理解題，定位關(guān)鍵詞適用于解答細(xì)節(jié)理解題。通過定位關(guān)鍵詞解題，考生在閱讀題干時，把題干中有標(biāo)記意義的詞或詞組劃記出來，或者選項中的關(guān)鍵詞，然后用這個詞回到原文當(dāng)中定位。如小題1題干中的by post，再如小題3題干中的Standby tickets，可以幫助快速找出答案。

A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present.

On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a little boy was walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. "Is this your car, Mister?" he asked.

Paul nodded. "My brother gave it to me for Christmas." "The boy was astounded. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything? Boy, I wish..." He hesitated.

Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.

"I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that” Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, then impulsively he added, "Would you like to take a ride in my automobile?"

"Oh yes, I'd love that."

After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes aglow, said, "Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?"

Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the lad wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.

Paragraph1:

He ran up the steps.

【題目】Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live, we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.

Face-to face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of current society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed (失去優(yōu)勢) by international news.

No longer is the possession of information restricted to a wealthy minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago, people used to go to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into millions of homes.

Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing, educating and entertaining.

【題目】In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.

From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.

Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At that moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.

No more angry shouts and no more horns!

When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.

Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.

【1】The author feels sad sometimes because .

A. he has a soft heart B. some people fail to see the kindness in others

C. some people pretend to be kind D. he relies much on others

【2】What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?

A. They waited with patience. B. They speeded up to pass.

C. They tried their best to help. D. They put on their flashlights too.

【3】Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

A. A Wheelchair Experience. B. A Driving Experience

C. Weakness and Strength D. Weakness and Kindness.

【題目】 As William Shakespeare is to literature in English, so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition. “We have Dante, Shakespeare and Du Fu. These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged,” said Harvard Professor Stephen Owen in Du Fu, China’s Greatest Poet, a new BBC documentary(紀(jì)錄片) broadcast on April 7.

Aimed at introducing the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers around the globe, the documentary invited famous British actor Ian McKellen, who played the wizard(巫師) Gandalf in the film series The Lord of the Rings, to read 15 of Du’s poems that have been translated into English.

The one-hour film talks about the poet’s life experiences in detail. Born in 712, Du lived under the government of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong (713-756), a time marked by extraordinary prosperity(繁榮), inclusiveness (包容) and cultural achievement. However, as the An Lushan Rebellion of 755 broke out in the country, Du, the former civil servant(文職人員) at the Tang court, had to take his family on the road as refugees(難民), and put up with starvation and suffering. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing and about 1,500 poems have been kept over the ages.

“Chinese people really value the recording of history and Du is better than anyone at reflecting(反映) history in his poetry. That’s because historical events are mirrored in his own life and spiritual journey,” Zeng Xiangbo, a professor of ancient Chinese literature at Renmin University of China, told China Daily.

Even though he never held a high position in the government, Du still cared about common people. For example, in the poem My Cottage Unroofed By Autumn Gales , he wrote that “Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles, I’d house all scholars poor and make them beam with smiles. ” “That’s why he was honored as a Poet Sage by later generations. A difficult life and his spirit of concern about the world helped him create so many masterpieces,” Shi Wenxue, a cultural critic based in Beijing, told the Global Times.

【1】According to Para.2, we know Ian McKellen is___________.

A.a narrator in the documentaryB.a big fan of Du Fu

C.the director of the documentaryD.a British wizard

【2】Why Du Fu is so valuable a poet in the mind of Chinese people?

A.Because he experienced the ups and downs of Tang Dynasty.

B.Because he never stopped and wrote about 1,500 poems.

C.Because his poems are completely kept over the ages.

D.Because his poetry is a good reflection of history.

【3】The poem mentioned in the last paragraph is intended to _________.

A.explain Du Fu’s position in the government

B.show Du Fu’s concern about ordinary people

C.tell the readers what a difficult life Du Fu lived

D.show Du Fu’s intelligence in writing a poem

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A.Du Fu’s works gain popularity home and abroad.

B.Chinese literature becomes a hit in the UK.

C.China’s Poet Sage appears on the screen in the UK.

D.British people fall in love with Chinese poetry.
