It is not exactly a bribe(賄賂), but is close to it.All sorts of people are “apple polishers”， including politicians and people in high officesjust about everybody.Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed.There are other phrases meaning the same thing as “apple­polishing”“soft­soaping” or “buttering­up”A gift is just one way to “soft­soap” somebody, or to “butter him up”. Another that is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praisetelling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how talented and wise he is.Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love to hear it? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who get so little of it.We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it. But if we just lap it up for its good value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to ourselves.Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got tired of listening to endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣). They overpraised him to the skies, as a man of limitless power.He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery was.6Which of the following activities has nothing to do with “apple­polishing”？AA boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks.BAn employee tells her boss how good he is at management.CA knight is said to be of limitless power by his followers.DA teacher praises her students for their talent and wisdom.【語篇解讀】 本文論述了現(xiàn)代社會存在的一種普遍現(xiàn)象：人們往往為了自己的一點兒利益去送禮或者說一些阿諛奉承的話，而且有時即使這樣做了也未必就能實現(xiàn)自己的愿望。解析：根據(jù)“Anapple polisher' is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment.”可知選D項。答案：D7What does the writer want to prove with Cromwell's example?AEverybody can be an “apple­polisher”BCromwell was not a good “apple­polisher”CGeorge Fox and his party were not “apple­polishers”DThere are people who don't like being “apple­polished”解析：根據(jù)第二段“All sorts of people are apple polishers， including politicians and people in high officesjust about everybody.Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed.”可知高層的領導者都可能是拍馬屁的人，可以想象每個人都可能是這種人。故選A項。答案：A8Which of the following statements about flattery is TRUE according to the author?AToo much flattery can carry us away.BFlattery is too empty to do people any good.CFlattery can get you nothing but excessive(過度的) pride.DFlattery is one of the ways to apple­polish people.解析：根據(jù)第一段“An apple polisher' is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment.”和第三段“A gift is just one way to soft­soap' somebody, or to butter him up. Another that is just as effective is flattery.”可知選D項。答案：D9Why did King Canute of Denmark and England take his followers to the seashore?ABecause he was sick of his normal life.BBecause he disliked being overpraised any more.CBecause he wanted them to realize how wise he was.DBecause he wanted them to see how weak he was as a king.解析：根據(jù)第六段“The king got tired of listening to endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣).”可知國王厭煩了朝臣的阿諛奉承，故選B項。答案：B10Who does the author think that flattery can do good to?AThose who are politicians or in high offices. BThose who lack confidence.CThose who are really excellent. DThose who think highly of themselves.解析：根據(jù)第四段“In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who get so little of it.”以及第五段“We need it to be more sure of ourselves.It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it.”可知，阿諛奉承對于缺乏自信的人是有好處的。故選B項。答案：BBA blind baby is doubly handicapped. Not only is it unable to see, but because it cannot receive the visual stimulus(刺激)from its environment that a sighted child does, it is likely to be slow in intellectual development. Now the ten­month­old son of Dr and Mrs Dennis Daughters is the subject of an unusual psychological experiment designed to prevent a lag(滯后)in the learning process. With the aid of a sonar­type electronic that he wears on his head, infant(嬰兒) Dennis is learning to identify the people and objects in the world around him by means of echoes(回聲)The device is an improvement of the “Sonicguide”，an instrument produced by Telesensory Systems, Inc., of Palo Alto, Calif, and used by blind adults in addition to a sane or guide dog. As adapted for Dennis, it consists of a battery­powered system about the size of a half dollar that is on a headgear. A transmitter sends out an ultrasonic(超聲的) pulse that creates an 80 degree cone of sound at 6 feet. Echoes from objects within the cone are perceived (felt) as sounds that vary in pitch(音調(diào)) and volume(音量) with the size and distance of the object.The closer an object is, the lower the pitch, and the larger the object, the louder the signal. Hard surfaces produce a sharp ping, while soft ones send back signals with a slightly fuzzy quality. An object slightly to the right of Dennis' sends back a louder sound to his right ear than to the left. Thus, by simply moving his head right and left and up and down, he can not only locate an object but also get some notion of its shape and size, thanks to the varying qualities of sounds reaching his ears as the cone of ultrasound(超聲波) passes its_edge. Dennis likes to use the device to play a kind of peek­a­boo with his mother. Standing on his knee and facing her directly, he receives a strong signal in both ears. By turning his head away, he makes her seem to disappear. “From the first time he wore it，” says Mrs Daughters, “it was like a light going on in his head.”What remains to be determined is how well the device will help Dennis cope with his surroundings as he begins to walk and venture further into his environment.Meanwhile, Telesensory systems, Inc., is working on the development of sonar(聲吶) device with somewhat the same sensitivity as Dennis' for use by school­age children.11Dr and Mrs Daughters' research is directed to _Ahelping the blind to see and learn as well as othersBbenefiting the learning process of blind childrenCsolving blind children's psychological problemsDfinding out how children develop intellectually【語篇解讀】 本文主要介紹了一項針對盲童的學習過程的研究。解析：首段第三句末的不定式“to prevent a lag(滯后) in the learning process”表明了Daughters夫婦研究的目的。另外，文章一開頭就提到了本文討論的重點是針對blind baby的，由此可見，選項B為本題答案。答案：B12Infant Dennis becomes the subject of the experiment most probably because _Ahe already lags behind the sighted childrenBhe leads a life as normal as any other childrenChe is at the early stage of the learning processDhe has the aid of a sonar­type electronic device解析：首段首句提到的“a blind baby”，第三句提到的“ten­month­old”和末句提到的“infant”等詞都表明“Dennis”成為研究對象是因為Daughters夫婦研究的是盲童從小的學習過程，“Dennis”年齡很小，正處于學習的最初階段，符合Daughters夫婦做研究的條件，因此選項C為本題答案。答案：C13What can we learn about infant Dennis' device?AIt's the first design that was designed for blind adults.BIts battery is as small as a half­dollar coin.CIt is functionally similar to a sane or guide dog.DIt has been improved by Telesensory Systems, Inc.解析：第二段首句中的“improvement”表明Dennis用的聲吶定位儀是“Sonicguide”的改良版，也就是說“Sonicguide”是Dennis的聲吶定位儀的原型。根據(jù)該句對其功能的描述可以確定選項A為本題答案。答案：A14In the third paragraph, “its edge” refers to “_”Athe edge of an object Bthe edge of the deviceCthe boundary of Dennis' movement Dthe boundary of the pitch解析：第三段第四句中的“thanks to”表明此處解釋了Dennis的聲吶定位儀的運作機制，即通過聲波描繪物體的形狀，該句中the cone指的就是該定位儀，而its edge應指周圍物體的邊緣。當聲波碰到物體的邊緣時，就能通過聲音描繪出物體的形狀了，因此本題答案應為A。答案：A15What is Telesensory Systems, Inc. most likely to think about infant Dennis' device?AIt had better be used by blind children from school age.BIt needs improving for use in a complicated environment.CIt may not be so suitable for the blind adults.DIt benefits blind children in terms of learning.解析：由末段末句中的“school­age children”及句中的其他內(nèi)容可以推斷Telesensory Systems最可能認為Dennis的聲吶定位儀有利于兒童的學習過程，因此選項D為本題答案。答案：DCBased on Sue Monk Kidd's bestselling novel，The Secret Life of Bees is a movie of hope and faith for even the unloved and oppressed(受壓迫的)Just as in the book，young Lily's thoughts sound and read like poetry，from the first moment when her room fills with bees.The movie tells the story of the young white girl who runs away from her cruel father.Lily convinces Rosaleen, the black housekeeper to escape with her，after Rosaleen is beaten when she attempts to vote. When Lily asks Rosaleen why she risked her life standing up to the angry men who wanted to kill her，she hears “Giving in to them would be just another way of dying”That's Lily's story，too. She finally stands up to her father.They come to Tiburon，a town whose name is written on a label(標簽) from a jar belonging to her mother before her death.In Tiburon, there is no place where Rosaleen can eat or stay, despite the fact that President Johnson just signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964.(It's still just a piece of paper，Rosaleen says.)So Lily goes in to buy food for them, and sees the jar on sale.When Lily finds out it's made right there in a farmhouse，they go there and ask for help.The goodhearted August who runs a successful company，offers them the honey house to live in. From August, Lily learns honey business and a life lesson from the bees. She sees a world where intelligence，independence and culture are honored and rewarded. She watches Rosaleen begin to understand that the dream of freedom from oppression she gave up when she was beaten is now possible for her. It is August who helps Lily see that love is all around her and all the others.16The story of Lily is mainly developed by_Atime Bspace Cexamples Dcomparison【語篇解讀】 文章介紹了由小說改編而成的電影The Secret Life of Bees的故事大意以及創(chuàng)作背景。解析：推理判斷題。文章中敘述的故事是按照故事發(fā)展的時間先后順序展開描述的，即由Lily對父親的反叛出走，到Tiburon遇見August，最終解決問題，完成大結局。答案：A17Which is TRUE according to the passage?AThe movie is adapted from a novel. BLily's father treats Rosaleen cruelly.CLily's mother writes the label for her. DIn fact, Lily's mother is August.解析：細節(jié)理解題。文章第一段第一句敘述了這部電影以小說為基礎，然后談到內(nèi)容時又提及Just as in the book，由此推斷這是改編自小說的電影，所以A項正確。答案：A18What does Rosaleen really want to get?ABetter pay and honey business. BEqual rights and freedom.CThe right to be voted as president. DEnough food and houses.解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章敘述的有關Rosaleen挨打的故事以及她的觀點“Giving in to them would be just another way of dying”可以推斷她代表的是美國的黑人，她所要求的是自由和平等的權利。答案：B19We can conclude that the story of Lily happened_Ain modern America Bin the 1960sCwhen the black owned equal rights in America Dbefore the independence of America解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章信息，尤其是第二段敘述的黑人Rosaleen要求選舉卻被打以及第四段中的“the fact that President Johnson just signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964.(It's still just a piece of paper，Rosaleen says.)”判斷，故事發(fā)生在20世紀60年代。答案：B20The passage is written to_Aadvertise a book Bexplain the secret of bees' lifeCintroduce a movie Dtell about American politics解析：主旨大意題。本文主要介紹了電影The Secret Life of Bees的故事大意，提到的書名只是本電影的改編出處。電影的名字是The Secret Life of Bees，但內(nèi)容不是講述蜜蜂生活秘密的；電影反映了美國當時的政治背景，但不是本文的主題。答案：C.完形填空(共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分)閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，然后從每題所給的A，B，C和D項中選出最佳選項。He has been called the“missing link”Half­man，half­beast.He is supposed to live in the highest mountain in the worldMount Everest.
