    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another’s hands for reassurance.
    They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon.
    It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
    But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come — with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
    【小题1】 In this passage, the author wants to tell _______.

    A．teenagers to try to pursue their real selves
    B．readers to try to be popular with people around
    C．parents to try to control and guide their children
    D．people to try to understand and respect each other
    【小题2】The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers _______.
    A．growing away from their parentsB．following the popularity trend
    C．walking a new way on their ownD．turning to their friends for help
    【小题3】The phrase “ larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to _______.
    A．the distractive and variable societyB．the dazzling music world
    C．the parental care and loveD．the popularity wave in the society
    【小题4】What does the author think of advertisements?
    A．Convincing.B．Instructive.
    C．Influential.D．Authoritative.
    【小题5】According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands up against the popularity wave and follows his/her own path?
    A．He/She falls behind the time.B．He/She loses good friends.
    C．He/She faces all kinds of criticism.D．He/She gains valuable popularity.

    阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

    　　Money spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I knew of．It serves directly to assist a rapid distribution of goods at reasonable price, thereby establishing a firm home market and so making it possible to provide for export at competitive prices drawing attention to new ideas it helps enormously to raise standards of living．By helping to increase demand it ensures an increased need for labor, and is therefore an effective way to fight unemployment．It lowers the costs of many services：without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, the price of your television license would need to be doubled, and travel by bus or tube would cost 20 percent more．

    　　And perhaps most important of all, advertising provides a guarantee of reasonable value in the produces and services you buy．Apart from the fact that twenty seven acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements, He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising．He will not do so for long ,for mercifully the public has the good sense not to buy the inferior article more than once．If you see an article consistently advertised, it is the surest proof I know that the article does what is claimed for it, and that it represents good value．

    　　Advertising does more for the material benefit of the community than any other force I can think of．

    　　There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on．Recently I heard a well-known television personality declare that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs．He was drawing excessively fine distinctions．Of course advertising seeks to persuades．

    　　If its message were confined merely to information－and that in itself would be difficult if not impossible to achieve, for even a detail such as the choice of the color of a shirt is subtly persuasive－advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention．But perhaps that is what the well-known television personality wants．

    (1)

    By the first sentence of the passage the author means that ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    he is fairly familiar with the cost of advertising

    B．

    everybody knows well that advertising is money consuming

    C．

    advertising costs money like everything else

    D．

    it is worthwhile to spend money on advertising

    [　　]

    A．

    the article．

    B．

    the advertiser．

    C．

    the advertisement．

    D．

    the proof．

    (3)

    The author deems that the well-known TV personality is ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    very precise in passing his judgment on advertising

    B．

    interested in nothing but the buyers’ attention

    C．

    correct in telling the difference between persuasion and information

    D．

    obviously partial in his views on advertising

    (4)

    In the anther’s option, ________

    [　　]

    A．

    advertising can seldom bring material benefit to man by providing information

    B．

    advertising informs people of new ideas rather than wins them over

    C．

    there is nothing wrong with adverting in persuading the buyer

    　　And so back to our question: What's dictionary for, and how, in 1962, can it best do what it ought to do? The demands are simple. The common reader turns to a dictionary for information about the spelling, pronunciation, meaning, and right use of words. He wants to know what is current (现行的) and correct. But he wants—and has a right to—the truth, the full truth. And the full truth about any language, and especially American English today, is that there are many areas in which certainly is impossible and the implication is misleading.

    　　……

    　　So with pronunciation. A citizen listening to his radio might notice that James B. Conant, Bernard Barnch, and D Wight D. Eisenhower pronounce economics as Eckuhnomiks, while A. Whitney Griswold, Adlai Stevenson and Herber Hoover pronounce it Edkuhnomiks. He turns to the dictionary to see which of the two pronunciations is “right” and finds that they are both acceptable.

    [　　]

    (2) The passage mainly tells us ________ .

    [　　]

    A．how to use a dictionary

    B．what a dictionary is for

    D．language cannot always be absolute (绝对)

    (3) James B. Conant, Bernard Barnch, Dwight D. Eisehowever, A. Whiteney Griswold , Adlai Stevenson and Herbert Hoover ________ .

    [　　]

    A．are all famous people

    B．are always pronouncing differently

    C．are people who often use dictionaries

    D．are citizens who often listen to the radio

    (4) A citizen listens to his radio in order to________ .

    [　　]

    A．notice the pronunciations of the word “economics”

    B．notice the pronunciations of James B. Conant, Bernard Barnch, Dwight D. Eisenhower, A. Whiteney Griswold, Adlai Steveson and HerbertHoover

    C．know the full truth about American English today

    D．know news and other information

    (5) What do you turn to a dictionary for?

    [　　]

    A．You can know how to spell, pronounce, understand or use a word.

    B．You can know what a dictionary is for.
