Antiques are old. You are my antique.”‎ I was not satisfied to let the matter rest there. I took out the Webster’s Dictionary and read the definition to Jenny. I explained, “An antique is not only old, it’s an object existing since or belonging to earlier timesa work of art a piece of furniture. Antiques are treasured,” I told Jenny as I put away the dictionary. “They have to be handled carefully because they sometimes are very valuable. In order to qualify as an antique, the object has to be at least 100 years old.”‎ ‎“I’m only 67,” I reminded Jenny.‎ We looked around the house for other antiques, besides me. There was a desk that was handed down from Rone aunt to another and finally to our family. “It’s very old,” I told Jenny. “I try to keep it polished and I show it off whenever I can. You do that with antiques."‎ There was a picture on the wall bought at a garage sale. It was dated 1867. “Now that’s an antique,” I said with pride. “Over 100 years old.” Of course it was marked up and scratched (刮坏) and not in very good condition. “Sometimes age does that,” I told Jenny. “But the marks are good marks. They show living, or being around. That’s something to display with pride. In fact, sometimes, the more an object shows age, the more valuable it can become.” I believed this was important for my own self-worth.‎ Our tour of antiques continued. There was a vase on the floor. It had been in my house for a long time. I was not certain where it came from but I didn’t buy it new. One thing about antiques, I explained to Jenny, was that they usually had a story. They’d been in one home and then another, handed down from one family to another, traveling all over the place. They’d lasted through years and years. They could have been thrown away, or ignored. or destroyed, or lost. But instead, they survived.‎ For a moment, Jenny looked thoughtful. “l don’t have any antiques but you,” she said. Then her face brightened. “Could I take you to school for show and tell?”‎ ‎“Only if I fit into your backpack,” I answered. And then Jenny’s antique lifted her up and embraced her in a hug that would last through the years.‎ ‎4. Grandma read the definition of “antique” to Jenny in order to ________.‎ A. express her disappointment at being called “antique”‎ B. change Jenny’s shallow understanding of antiques C. tell Jenny the importance of protecting antiques D. list all the important characteristics of antiques ‎5. Which of the following information did grandma express to Jenny?‎ A. The desk reminded her of her dear relatives.‎ B. There was usually a sad story behind each antique.‎ C. The spots on the picture showed its age and value.‎ D. She planned to buy a new vase to replace the old one.‎ ‎6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. Grandma was too old to lift Jenny up.‎ B. Jenny was too young to know grandma’s humor.‎ C. Jenny had a strong desire for grandma’s love.‎ D. Grandma had a deep long-lasting love for Jenny.‎ ‎7. What can be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Jenny’s Antique B. Grandma’s Antique C. A Tour of Antiques D. A Story of Antiques ‎【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇记叙文，从祖母和小孙女对古董这个词的理解入手，小孙女说祖母就是她的古董，体现了祖孙之间深深的爱。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I was not satisfied to let the matter rest there. I took out the Webster’s Dictionary and read the definition to ‎ Jenny.”可知，祖母不想她和小孙女关于古董的谈话就此打住，她希望让小孙女对古董有更进一步的认识，故B项正确。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But the marks are good marks. They show living, or being around. That’s something to display with pride. In fact, sometimes, the more an object shows age, the more valuable it can become.”可知，祖母想告诉小孙女这幅画上的斑点体现了它的年代和价值，故C项正确。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“And then Jenny’s antique lifted her up and embraced her in a hug that would last through the years.”可知，祖母把小孙女抱起来拥入怀中，那是个恒久的拥抱，由此推知祖母深深地爱着小孙女，故D项正确。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“You are my antique.”及最后一段中的“l don’t have any antiques but you”可知，文章从祖母和小孙女对古董这个词的理解入手，小孙女说祖母就是她的古董，体现了祖孙之间深深的爱，故A项正确。‎ ‎【点睛】生活感悟类的文章是阅读理解的常用话题，此类文章多为记叙文，文章最后一般都有点睛之笔，体现文章的中心思想，抓住这一点就能领会文章的主旨，例如本篇阅读，文章以祖母和小孙女对古董这个词的认识开始，最后小孙女说祖母就是她的古董，最后一段中的“l don’t have any antiques but you”就是文章主旨，从而确定第4题答案为A。‎ It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.‎ In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the ‘decline of class’ and ‘classless society’ in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.‎ But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification (分层).‎ One unchanging aspect of a British person’s class position is accent. The words ‎ a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was considered as the most attractive voice. Most people said this accent sounded ‘educated’ and ‘soft’. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional accents. These accents were seen as ‘common’ and ‘ugly’. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice (偏见).‎ In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song ‘Common People’ puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may ‘want to live like common people’, they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.‎ ‎8. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ________.‎ A. it is time to end class distinction B. most people belong to middle class C. it is easy to recognize a person’s class D. people regard themselves socially different ‎9. The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as ________.‎ A. regional B. educated C. standard D. unattractive ‎10. British attitudes towards accent ________.‎ A. have a long tradition B. are based on regional status C. are shared by the Americans D. have changed in recent years ‎11. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. The middle class is expanding. B. A person’s accent reflects his class.‎ C. Class is a key part of British society. D. Each class has unique characteristics.‎ ‎【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，通过两项调查表明了阶级是英国社会的重要组成部分。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences.”可知，在关于“阶级消亡说”的调查中，90％的人把自己归入特殊的阶层，73％的人认为阶级仍然是英国社会的重要组成部分，52％的人认为社会阶层之间差异明显，由此推知，英国民众认为他们在社会上仍然是有区别的，故D项正确。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least.”可知，美国的这项调查表明BBC英语被认为是最没有吸引力的口音，故D项正确。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.”可知，英国人对口音的态度根深蒂固并带有偏见，故A项正确。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了阶级划分是英国社会的重要组成部分，文章列举了两项调查，“阶级消亡说”这项调查表明英国民众在社会上仍然是有区别的，在关于“好的口音”调查表明英国的阶级划分根深蒂固，由此可知文章大意是阶级是英国社会的重要组成部分，故C项正确。‎ ‎【点睛】社会文化类说明文由于话题原因，通常很难理解，其推理判断题的难度更大，要立足于文章所提供的数据信息进行合乎逻辑的推理，例如本篇第1题，作者在第三段中列出了大量的数据信息，要对这些信息整理分析后才能进行推理，通过分析我们发现，90％的人把自己归入特殊的阶层，73％的人认为阶级仍然是英国社会的重要组成部分，52％的人认为社会阶层之间差异明显，这些都表明了英国民众认为他们在社会上仍然是有区别的而不是是时候结束阶级划分了。‎ Can a computer think? That depends on what you mean by “think”. If solving a math problem is “thinking”, then a computer can “think” and do so much faster ‎ than a man. Of course, most mathematical problems can be solved by repeating certain process over and over again. Even the simple computers of today can do that. It is frequently said that computers solve problems only because they are“programmed” to do so. They can only do what men have them do. One must remember that human beings also can only do what they are “programmed” to do. Our genes “program” us the moment the fertilized ovum(受精卵) is formed, and our possible abilities are limited by that “program”. Our “program” is so much more enormously complex, though, that we might like to define “thinking” in terms of the creativity that goes into writing a great symphony or in developing a brilliant scientific theory. In that sense, computers certainly can’t think and neither can most humans.‎ Surely, though, if a computer can be made complex enough, it can be as creative as we. If it could be made as complex as a human brain, it could be equal to a human brain and do whatever a human brain can do. To suppose anything else is to suppose that there is more to the human brain than the matter that composes it. The brain is made up of cells in a certain arrangement. If anything else is there, no signs of it have ever been discovered. To duplicate (复制) the material complexity of the brain is therefore to duplicate everything about it.‎ But how long will it take to build a computer complex enough to duplicate the human brain? Perhaps not as long as some think. Long before we approach a computer as complex as our brain, we will perhaps build a computer that is at least complex enough to design another computer more complex than itself. This more complex computer could design one still more complex and so on and so on. In other words, once we pass a certain critical point, the computers take over and there is a “complexity explosion”. In a very short time thereafter, computers may exist that not only duplicate the human brain but go far beyond it.‎ ‎12. In what sense does the writer think that humans are programmed?‎ A. Their characteristics, powers, etc. are fixed before birth.‎ B. He thinks a man’s abilities are not limited, as a computer’s are.‎ C. In the sense that humans will always be better than computers.‎ D. Computers must be operated by men, but man can operate by himself.‎ ‎13. What does the writer mean by saying that the average human being is unable to ‘think’?‎ A. It is not true. All humans can ‘think’ in all sense.‎ B. Human beings fail to think as fast as a computer.‎ C. Most people don’t have great creative ability.‎ D. Something has been wrong with his genetic program.‎ ‎14. What is the ‘critical point’ mentioned in the last paragraph?‎ A. The point at which a computer is an exact copy of a human brain.‎ B. When one computer is itself clever enough to design a better one.‎ C. When a computer can be made as creative as we are.‎ D. When the computers destroy each other in an explosion.‎ ‎15. The word ‘explosion’ mentioned in the last paragraph means ________.‎ A. great damage B. a terrific noise C. excitement D. big leaps forward ‎【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了人脑和计算机一样都是被编程好的，当计算机能够设计出一台比自己更复杂的计算机时就会超过人脑。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Our genes ‘program’ us the moment the fertilized ovum(受精卵) is formed, and our possible abilities are limited by that ‘program’.”可知，一旦形成受精卵，基因就会对我们进行编程，而我们的能力也会受到这个程序的限制，也就是说我们的特征和能力在出生之前就已经定下来了，从这种意义上说，人类也像计算机一样被编程了，故A项正确。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Our ‘program’ is so much more enormously complex, though, that we might like to define “thinking” in terms of the creativity that goes into writing a great symphony or in developing a brilliant scientific theory. In that sense, computers certainly can’t think and neither can most humans. ‎ ‎”可知，我们的程序要复杂得多，我们或许可以从人类的文学、艺术、科学和技术上的创造性这个角度给“思考”下定义，从这个意义上说，计算机不能思考，大多数人也不能，也就是说大多数人没有创造性，故C项正确。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“This more complex computer could design one still more complex and so on and so on. In other words, once we pass a certain critical point, the computers take over”可知，这个复杂的计算机可以设计出一个比它自己更复杂的计算机，一旦我们过了这个临界点，计算机就会接管，由此可知这个临界点指的就是计算机能够设计出一个更复杂的计算机，故B项正确。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据“explosion”后的“In a very short time thereafter, computers may exist that not only duplicate the human brain but go far beyond it.”可知，在此后很短的时间内，计算机不仅可以复制人脑，而且还会超越人脑，由此可知计算机有了一次大的飞跃，故D项正确。‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ If you have ever been in a school play or even made to believe you were a doctor, a detective, or a space traveler, you know the enjoyment that acting brings. Almost all of us have the wish to play the part of someone — or something else._____16_____ ‎ In the ancient world, acting was often connected with religious ceremonies and other special occasions. As far back as 2200 B.C., trained Chinese actors performed ceremonial dances in costume and makeup at harvest festivals. _____17_____ The imitation (模仿) of movements and gestures was gradually added to the dance, as well as the wearing of masks, the singing of chants, and finally the use of dialogue.‎ While acting was coming into its own in the ancient Chinese classical theatre, it was doing the same in the western world, in Greece. From about 500 B.C. on, acting became a highly specialized art in Greece. Greek actors, however, still wore masks, and their motions (动作) were largely fixed by custom. _____18_____‎ Modern acting, by contrast, gives the individual actor great opportunity to develop his or her personal talents for serious, comic, or musical drama. The names, faces, and styles of famous movie actors are known worldwide. _____19_____ A special form of acting takes place in radio drama, which was highly popular before television.‎ ‎ In radio drama the actors face a unique challenge. They are unseen by their audience. So they must rely on voice alone to make their characters real to the listeners.‎ ‎_____20_____ Only forty percent of Broadway actors are employed, most of them for only part of the year. Those who become stars need not only talent, but determination. They must not be easily discouraged. Otherwise, they might give up before the opportunity for fame presents itself.‎ A. The origins of acting are in the act of remembering.‎ B. Drama in Greece began with festivals honoring Dionysus.‎ C. It is believed that this was the first step in the development of acting.‎ D. Historical records indicate that this desire is as old as civilization itself.‎ E. Acting is not, as many people think, a quick, easy road to fame and riches.‎ F. Broadway and television provide other stages on which actors can display their talent.‎ G. Consequently, they had little opportunity to display their individual personalities.‎ ‎【答案】16. D 17. C ‎ ‎18. G 19. F ‎ ‎20. E ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了表演的起源，早期表演和现代表演的差别以及演员的不易。‎ ‎【16题详解】‎ 根据本空前的“Almost all of us have the wish to play the part of someone — or something else.”可知，几乎每个人都希望扮演某个角色，此处承接上文，D项中的“this desire”与前面的“wish”相对应，故D项（历史记录表明这个愿望和文明本身一样古老）符合语境。‎ ‎【17题详解】‎ 根据本空前的“As far back as 2200 B.C., trained Chinese actors performed ceremonial dances in costume and makeup at harvest festivals.”可知，早在公元前2200年，受过训练的中国演员穿着戏服化妆在丰收节表演礼仪舞蹈，这被认为是表演发展的第一步，C项中的“this”指的就是前面提到的这件事，故C项符合语境。‎ ‎【18题详解】‎ 根据本空前的“Greek actors, however, still wore masks, and their motions (动作) were largely fixed by custom.”可知，希腊演员仍然戴着面具，他们的动作很大程度上是按照习俗而定的，此处总结上文，讲的是这种表演方式的不利影响，故G项（因此，他们很少有机会展示自己的个性）符合语境。‎ ‎【19题详解】‎ 根据本空前的“Modern acting, by contrast, gives the individual actor great opportunity to develop his or her personal talents for serious, comic, or musical drama.”可知，本段讲的现代表演给了演员很大的机会展示自己在喜剧或音乐剧方面的才华，此处讲的还是关于演员展示才华方面的内容，F项（百老汇和电视给演员提供了展示才华的舞台）符合语境。‎ ‎【20题详解】‎ 根据本段内容，特别是本空后的“Only forty percent of Broadway actors are employed, most of them for only part of the year.”可知，只有一少半演员能找到工作，故E项（表演并不想很多人想的那样是成名致富的捷径）符合语境。‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ As a young man, Alan was a skilled artist, a painter with a wife and two fine sons.
