Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

 

(A)  新高三暑假 lecture 10

Every country has certain cultural patterns making it unique. Of course, habits and customs between cultures and countries tend to overlap (重叠). The popularity of social media, for instance, ignores borders and breaks down cultural differences. Technology has made the world a much smaller and culturally similar place. However, when looking at a foreign country, we will always find differences between our traditions and theirs. Young Italians and young Americans, for example, though alike in many respects, have also some pronounced differences, especially when it comes to work, pastimes and sports.

Most American teens have part-time jobs through high school and college. Youths in Italy tend not to. The reasons behind this are multifaceted. It is, to begin with, rather hard in Italy to find the type of part-time jobs students usually take up. Moreover, there is also a different cultural attitude to take into consideration, especially when thinking of certain parts of Italy. Young Italians like to enjoy life to the full and feel there will be time to work once they become adults, hence the lack of interest in finding odd jobs while still in school. Like the old saying goes, some Italians work to live, while some Americans often live to work.

In a lot of ways, young Italians and Americans spend their free time in a similar fashion. Listening to music, watching movies, hanging out, practicing sports and surfing the Internet are all common ways to pass some free time. Italians, especially, make a point of going out and being social, often choosing between pizzerie or birrerie (place for pizza or beer),which stay open late. Italians often pile into a couple of cars and go out in a big group. In general, American teens participate in a lot of extracurricular (课外的)activities, many often through school, while Italians may not take part in so many.

When going out, Italian teens tend to meet and gather on the streets of their cities or towns, something not as common in the United States, especially in highly populated areas. This very Italian habit can be linked to the urban arrangement of Italian towns. Many of them date back thousands of years and feature central piazzas (广场)and areas built around historical sites that have now become gathering places for the young. If you’re in Italy,don’t be surprised by the sight of hundreds gathered in a piazza or on the street, laughing and drinking the night away.

56. The passage is mainly about __________________.

A.the unique lifestyles shared by American and Italian teens

B.the relationship between young people of America and Italy

C.some customs and habits of the Americans and Italians

D.some differences in tradition between young Americans and Italians

57. By saying “some Italians work to live, while some Americans often live to work”, the author most probably wants to tell us that _________________.

A.Italians have a better life attitude toward working

B.Americans are more diligent and thus live a better life

C.Americans and Italians both find it hard to locate a satisfying job

D.Italians and Americans have different choices regarding work

58. According to paragraph 3,which of the following statements is true?

A.American teens practice sports and surf the Internet to pass time.

B.Italian youth take an active part in extracurricular activities.

C.American teens like to drive out and social together in big groups.

D.Italian youth enjoy pizza and beer because they are cheap.

59. If there is one more paragraph in this passage, what will it most probably be about?

A.The working conditions of the young Americans and Italians.

B.The differences in practicing sports between teens of the two nations.

C.The central piazzas and areas built around historical sites in Italy.

D.The urban arrangement of the highly populated American cities.

(C) 高三下 lecture 16

Sometime in 1885 or 1886,Arthur Conan Doyle was doodling (信手乱涂)on a sheet of paper. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s Auguste Dupin, he had the idea for a “consulting detective’’,who would also use “the Rules of Evidence” to catch his man. But what would he be called? “Ormond Sacker”? “Sherrinford Holmes”?

Had he settled on either of these alternatives, the modern-day fan clubs would be able to look closely through their magnifying glasses (放大镜)at that historic piece of paper at an exhibition opening at the Museum of London on Friday.

Sherlock Holmes : The Man Who Never Lived and Will Never Die is the first major show for the great detective since a Holmes display graced the Festival of Britain in 1951. It's a winningly silly title: there are an unlimited number of men who never lived and will never die, and a very large number of fictional creations of whom the same could also be said. But you can see what they are getting at.

It is likely that the show should take place at the Museum of London. Holmes occupied perhaps London’s most famous imaginary address — 221B Baker Street — and Dr. Watson wrote that his “knowledge of the byways of London was extraordinary”. In the form of his 44Baker Street Irregulars”, he even employed a street-level spy-network of the homeless. London is often described as another character in the stories.

But, as historian David Cannadine points out in a fine, questioning essay in a new book accompanying the exhibition, Holmes’s London is actually only sketchily imagined in the stories. Conan Doyle grew up in Edinburgh,was educated in Lancashire and Austria, and lived in central London for less than a year before moving first to South Norwood, then in short order to Hind head in Surrey and later to Sussex. To move Holmes around the capital, Conan Doyle used contemporary books of street maps and the London Post Office Directory. And he made all sorts of mistakes.

Also, before fan-fiction as we think of it now got under way, the Holmes stories led to a strange academic version of fan-fiction: Holmesians, taking a scholarly interest in the texts almost on the assumption that Holmes and Watson were real historical characters.

It should be noted that Conan Doyle himself didn’t sweat the details. Everything from the location of Watson’s old war wound to his marital situation and the address of his consulting room was distinctly patchy (东拼西凑的).

Holmes is, or might as well be, a magician. In this respect, the modern BBC TV adaptations—whose leaps of tricks I’ve seen complained about — are in keeping with Conan Doyle’s originals.

He’s not the product, not any more, of a single author. And he,s never going to be on the reader’s level—nor that of his friend Dr. Watson. Conan Doyle,s consulting detective is, made by the imaginations of others, a sort of god. And like all the best gods, he is—as the new exhibition’s title indicates—both imaginary and everlasting.

63. What do Auguste Dupin and Sherlock Holmes share in common according to the author?

A.They are both fictional detectives that lived in London.

B.They are both characters created by Arthur Conan Doyle.

C.They both use “the Rules of Evidence” to solve cases.

D.They both use magnifying glasses.

64. According to the passage. the sentence “Holmes’s London is actually only sketchily imagined in the stories” in paragraph 5 means that _____________.

A.London is an important, setting in the Sherlock Holmes stories

B.the city of London in the novel is different from how it really is

C.London is home to the two main characters, Sherlock and Watson

D.the author Conan Doyle made a lot of mistakes when in London

65. The word “Holmesians” in paragraph 6 probably refers to __________.

A.super fans of Holmes

B.scholars interested in Holmes

C.studies about Holmes

D.mysteries concerning Holmes

66. What is the author’s opinion of Sherlock Holmes?

A.He is the most successful imaginary detective in history.

B.He is a god who will be loved by readers of all the time.

C.He is an imaginary character created both by Doyle and readers.

D.He has an extraordinary talent as a detective who gains great popularity.

1.There is no tomorrow — take a break right now. Be unplanned and travel whenever you feel like leaving your daily routine and boredom. (68) ____ It is tiring and exhausting to live according to some schedule. If you need a break now, then simply take it and let yourself enjoy the time.

The Power of iPhone

Though Apple released data last week indicating iPhone sales may, at last, be slowing, one CEO recently explained why he thinks the smartphone has overturned our expectations of basically everything.

Harry West is the CEO of the global design and strategy firm Frog, which works with its clients “to anticipate (预料) the future”. In a conversation with The Huffington Post at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, West credited Apple with transforming the way companies approach consumers and their own employees.

“Way back in the day,” West said, companies marketed their products as “military spec” and “industrial” to take advantage of the impression that these seemingly specialized products were of higher quality than consumer versions. In the 70s, 80s and 90s. this slowly gave way to the rise of “professional” products adapted to businesses and business people.

“That all changed after the coming of the iPhone in 2007,” he said. “Consumers began to use this amazing digital interface (界面),and they liked it. They used it in their personal life and at home, and when they went back to work, they encountered this terrible ‘professional,or ‘industrial’, or ‘enterprise’ product, and they realized how old-fashioned and inconvenient it was. They demanded change.”

That massive shift foreshadowed the downfall of BlackBerry and the weakening of the power of IT departments — and it also forced companies to update the work experience of their employees,according to West.

“Companies need to hire millennials (千禧世代,一般指在 1980 年至 2000年之间出生的人),and millennials refuse to work in these outdated, backward systems,” he said. “Not only is it uncomfortable, but it also indicates something wrong about the company. If your work experience is that old-fashioned, then what else is wrong in the company?”
