【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。
B
When I was 13,my bedroom walls were covered with posters of the Monkees and the Beatles.I wrote fan letters and daydreamed about meeting the objects of my affections.I begged my parents to attend every rock concert and watch every TV show featuring my favorite celebrities(名人);my friends and I discussed for hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favorite movie stars and pop singers.I drove my mother crazy!But after a few years,my obsession(迷恋) with stars faded as I matured and gained the confidence to socialize with “real” boys.
In the 35 years since I was a teenager,celebrity worship(崇拜) has increased among teens due to the explosion of television celebrity gossip shows,and instant access to celebrity news on the Internet.It's no wonder that many teens are obsessed with stars when news programs often are filled with entertainment stories and the lives of celebrities.
Celebrity worship syndrome(综合征) is now considered a personality disorder.While it is normal for teenagers to follow the lives of their favorite stars,parents should try to monitor everything their child finds interesting.Parents should take action if they suspect a teen is too obsessed with celebrities and showing little interest in school or withdrawing from the family.When teens talk a lot about celebrities and view them as just means of entertainment,this is considered normal celebrity worship.However,when a teenager is obsessed with a star and often expresses a desire to have a close personal relationship with a celebrity or feels they have a special connection to a star,this may be the time for concern.Recent studies have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with celebrities often suffer from low selfconfidence and depression.Teens who are overly obsessed with stars often have damaged relationships with their parents.
【1】The first paragraph is intended to tell us ________.
A.it's normal for a teen to have celebrity worship
B.celebrity worship can cause serious problems
C.parents needn't worry about celebrity worship
D.celebrity worship only exists among teens
【2】We learn from the second paragraph that ________.
A.teens today are not so obsessed with celebrities
B.the author is surprised at celebrity worship
C.the media greatly contributes to celebrity worship today
D.celebrities expose their lives too much
【3】Parents should become concerned when their children ________.
A.talk a lot about celebrities with others
B.put up celebrity posters on their bedroom walls
C.ask to go to their favorite star's concert
D.desire a close personal relationship with their favorite star
【4】The last paragraph implies that ________.
A.parents should not care too much about a child's celebrity worship
B.celebrity worship syndrome can be a serious problem if left overlooked
C.children can normally get out of celebrity worship when they are older
D.children with celebrity worship usually have a high opinion of themselves
【5】What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?
A.The harm of celebrity worship syndrome.

C.What to do with children's celebrity worship syndrome.
D.Who will suffer most
【答案】【1】A
【2】C
【3】D
【4】B
【5】C
【解析】 青少年崇拜名人无可厚非,可是过度地迷恋明星就是名人崇拜综合征,是一种病态人格,其负面作用不可不引起父母的关注。
【1】推理判断题。由第一段内容可知,作者在青少年时期曾经十分迷恋名人,几年过后,随着自己逐渐变得成熟和自信心的增强,他对明星的迷恋渐渐消失,由此可推知作者在第一段通过自己的经历想告诉我们对青少年而言,名人崇拜是正常的事情。
【2】推理判断题。本段提到青少年之所以对名人越来越崇拜是因为受电视节目和因特网的影响,由此可推断媒体是造成当今名人崇拜的重要原因之一。
【3】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“However,when a teenager...this may be the time for concern.”可知,当孩子渴望与他们最喜欢的明星有密切的私人关系时,父母就应该关注了。
【4】推理判断题。最后一段的第一句提到名人崇拜综合征现在被认为是病态人格;最后两句提到不健康的名人迷恋会导致自信心降低和心理压抑,甚至破坏孩子与父母之间的关系,由此可推断如果忽视名人崇拜综合征可能引发严重的问题。
【5】文章结构题。文章最后阐述的是名人崇拜综合征的种种危害,所以接下来最可能叙述的是如何应对这种病症。

【题目】Research shows that humans switch from selfish to unselfish behavior when they are watched. Do you?
A picture of a set of eyes on a computer screen can cause a change in the way people act. Even images of eyes on a charity do-nation, a collection box encourages people to be unselfish, because people put more money in a collection box that has a picture of eyes on it than they do when a flower symbol is on the box.
Manfred Milinski from the Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Germany and Bettina Rockenbach of the University of Berlin, the authors of a new study, found that people act better when they are being watched be-cause they feel they will be rewarded for good behavior. Their report also referred to other research showing that this response of behaving well when watched is somehow coded into humans and people respond this way unconsciously, or without realizing it.
It is not just humans that act unselfishly when they are being watched. A fish called the grooming fish cleans other fish. When other fish are around, it is gentler. When no other fish are around, however, the grooming fish bites chunks from the fish it is supposed to be cleaning.
The researchers suggest that the best way to get people to be-have in the correct way is to make them feel watched. This could be the reason for the success of a famous American army poster. On it was a icture of an elderly man staring fiercely and pointing, it appeared, to the person who was looking at the poster. Under the picture was the caption " I Want You. " It encouraged hundreds of thou-sands of young American men to join the army during the Second World War to fight the Germans and Japanese.
【1】 According to the report, why does a person behave better when he feels he is being watched?
A. He does not want to be shamed by others.
B. He needs to show he is a good person.
C. He desires others to like him more.
D. He feels he will receive some social reward.
【2】 The underlined word "coded” (Paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _________.
A. hidden B. programmed
C. forgotten D. leaned
【3】 What is the text mainly about?
A. It describes changed behavior when observed.
B. It details ways to control people's behavior.
C. It tells how to make people work harder.
D. It discusses different advertising methods.
【4】 According to the text, which of the following statements is true?
A. People pretend to behave better when they are watched.
B. Fish bite other fish in a fish tank when they are alone.
C. People donate more money when they feel they are watched.
D. Soldiers fought better during World War II because of a poster.
【5】 Where would the study described in the text most likely be found?
A. In a newspaper. B. In a scientific journal.
C. In an advertising magazine. D. In a science textbook.

【题目】任务型阅读(共 10 小题,每小题 1 分,满分 10 分)
Thanksgiving day is celebrated mainly in America and Canada. Much like the annual harvest festivals celebrated in other countries throughout the world, Thanksgiving Day was meant to pay our homage to the Almighty for this bountiful harvest. While the purpose and origin of the concept remains the same, the day of its celebration differs from country to country. In the United States, the holiday is celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November while in Canada (which has an early harvest cycle and season), the holiday is observed on the second Monday in October, known as the Columbus Day. Much like the Christian Thanksgiving day, it is celebrated with pomp and show.
Since 1930, the end of Thanksgiving season marks the beginning of Christmas shopping season. In Canada, Thanksgiving holiday lasts for only three days but the time period may vary in the US. Let's have a look at the brief history of Thanksgiving in North America, U.S. and Canada:
In North America: Thanksgiving Day was first celebrated on September 8, 1565 in St. Augustine when Pedro Menendez de Aviles and his men shared a feast with the natives. After that Pilgrims held a three days feast to make merriment on their enormous harvest.
In United States: The immigrants who sailed to this country aboard the Mayflower were basically members of the English Separatist Church (a Puritan sect). They took shelter in Netherlands but soon were disgusted by their lifestyle. They settled in United States with a desire for a better lifestyle. But their beginning was horrendous. The climate was unfavorable and many of them died. But in 1621 they hard turmoil bore fruits for them as there was a huge harvest. They celebrated it with a feast with 91 Indians who had helped them during their harsh times.
Thanksgiving was celebrated after that at irregular intervals until Franklin Roosevelt, had set it one week to the next-to-last Thursday of November in order keeping an eye on commercial benefits as Christmas was nearby. Allegations were brought against this decision, which made the President to move Thanksgiving back to its original date two years later. And in 1941, Thanksgiving was finally set by Congress as a legal holiday, as the fourth Thursday in November.
In Canada: Probably the Americans who migrated to Canada after American Independence brought with them the practices of Thanksgiving. Initially it was celebrated in English Canadian Society but later it became a countrywide practice. Formally, Canadian Thanksgiving Day was celebrated on April 5, 1872 on behalf of the Prince of Wales' recovery from illness. Innumerable transformations took place before the date of celebration finally settled on the second Monday in October in 1957.
