    【解析】

    本文是一篇应用文。主要讲述OSCAR THEATRE的订票方式及不同人员的不同优惠方式。

    【1】细节理解题。根据文章“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.” 说明演出情况及座位选择，并附上支票、邮政汇票或信用卡详情，寄往主街220号邮政信箱奥斯卡剧院票房。故选D项。

    【2】细节理解题。A选项“A group of ten adults going to a performance can claim a discount.” 十个成年人去看演出可以申请折扣。文中是12人或者更多，因此A选项错误；A school party of 15 persons that book in advance pay $135 in total for a performance. 15人提前预订的学校聚会，总共支付演出135美元。文中school parties of ten or more can book $9 tickets in advance and will get every tenth ticket free. 十人或以上的学校派对可以提前预订9美元的门票，每第十张票免费。因此15人应支付126美元，故B选项错误；C选项Someone accompanying a wheelchair user to a performance receives a discount. 陪同轮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. 半价座位可供残障人士和一名陪同使用。故C选项正确；D选项An 18-year-old teenager is eligible for Saver discounts. 一个18岁的青少年有资格获得优惠折扣。文中Savers are available for children up to 16 years old, 优惠适用于16岁以下的儿童，故D选项错误。故选C项。

    【3】细节理解题。根据文章Standby部分的“best available seats are on sale for $6 from one hour before the performance for people eligible(有资格的) for Saver and Supersaver discounts and thirty minutes before for all other customers.” 最好的座位在演出前一小时以6美元的价格出售给有资格享受优惠和超级优惠折扣的人，在演出前30分钟出售给所有其他顾客。故选B项。

    应用文中题目多为细节理解题，定位关键词适用于解答细节理解题。通过定位关键词解题，考生在阅读题干时，把题干中有标记意义的词或词组划记出来，或者选项中的关键词，然后用这个词回到原文当中定位。如小题1题干中的by post，再如小题3题干中的Standby tickets，可以帮助快速找出答案。

    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.

    【题目】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 (失去优势) 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.

    【题目】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.

    【题目】 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(纪录片) 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(巫师) 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(繁荣), inclusiveness (包容) and cultural achievement. However, as the An Lushan Rebellion of 755 broke out in the country, Du, the former civil servant(文职人员) at the Tang court, had to take his family on the road as refugees(难民), 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.
