21、分 阅读（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节：阅读理解（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分） A Among various programmes, TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style. But no two shows are more opposite in content, while at the same time
22、 standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows. Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”. The contents on his show are as surprising as it can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show titles of love, sex cheating and hat
23、e, to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society, yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other peoples lives. Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show is mainly about the
24、improvement of society and different quality of life. Contents are from teaching your children lessons, managing your workweek, to getting to know your neighbours. Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society. Jerry ends every show with a “final wor
25、d”. He makes a small speech about the entire ideas of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable. Clean as it is, the Oprah is not for everyone. The shows main viewers are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money and ability to
26、 deal with lifes tougher problems. Jerry Springer on the other hand, has more of a connection with the young adults of society. There are 18-to-21-year-old whose main troubles in life include love, relationship, sex, money and drug. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned thro
27、ugh the shows exploitation. 41.Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are _. A. more interesting B. more formal C. more detailed D. unusually popular 42. Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant, people who watch the shows_. A.
28、 show disbelief in them B. are ready to face up to them C. remain cold to them D. are willing to get away from them 43.Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show? A. A new type of robot. B. National hatred. C. Family income planning. D. Street accident. 44. We can learn
29、 from the passage that the two talk shows_. A. have become the only ones of its kind B. exploit the weaknesses in human nature C. appear at different times of the day D. attract different people 45. What is the advantage of the Jerry Springer show ? A. The show exposes the dark sides of society. B.
30、The show pours poisonous waste into society. C. Jerry sums up the whole idea of the show. D. Jerry talks about the improvement of society. B It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exac
31、tly as he has planned Fortunately, the moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why ? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget
32、to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser When such moments occur, dont worry about them, Just continue as if nothing happened Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that dont really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther Kings famous speech “ I have a dr
33、eam”, you may notice that he stumble（结巴） his words twice during the speech Most likely, however, you dont remember Why? Because you were fixing your attention on is message rather than on his way of speech-making. People care a lot about making mistakes in a speech because they regard speech-making
34、as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that express the speakers ideas clearly and direc
35、tly Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers attractiveness by making him more human As you work on your speech, dont worry about being imperfect Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely 46 The underlined part in the first paragraph
36、means that no one will _ A be smarter than you B notice your mistakes C do better than you D know what you are talking about 47 You dont remember obvious mistakes in a speech because _ A your attention is on the content B you dont fully understand the speech C you dont know what the speaker plans to
37、 say D you find the way of speech-making more important 48 It can be inferred from the passage that _ A giving a speech is like giving a performance B one to two mistakes in a speech may not be bad C the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made D the more mistakes a speaker makes,
38、 the more attractive he will be 49 What would be the best title of the passage? A How to Be a Perfect Speaker B How to Make a Perfect Speech C Dont Expect a Perfect Speech D Dont Expect Mistakes in a Speech 50 Which of the following statements is true? A If you are careful enough, you can make a per
39、fect speech B Speech-making is a kind of performance C Martin Luther King is not a good speaker D Listeners are not judges and they pay more attention to the message C In a book called Magnificent Obsession, by Lloyd C. Douglas, a description is given of people helping others but doing it secretly.
40、When difficult problems worried an individual, friends nearby would meet to discuss possible solution without the individual knowing their actions. When a solution was agreed upon, one or two of the friends would carry out the plan and solve the problem secretly , to the great delight of the worried
41、 individual. The helpers would stand by privately, content with their success. No reward was given to the problem solvers, not even a sincere “thank you”, because they were never known. This concept is popular today but in a different way. The phrase “pay it forward” is now used when one person help
42、s another. However, the person helped may not be able to repay the person or group that helped them. So rather than return the favor to their helpers, they are supposed to help someone else in the future, which means they pay it forward. It is a sense of responsibility which makes us want to give ba
43、ck in equal measure to the one who has helped us. But , in this case, the responsibility turns to helping someone in the future. Suppose your elderly grandmother pays part of your schooling. She may tell you there is no need to repay her because it is a gift from someone who loves you very much. Not
44、hing would please her more than to have you use her money to get a good education. You may never be able to repay her for such a gift. However, she not only gave you some money , but she provided you with an example that you should also help other people who need it. People with serious needs are ev
45、erywhere. Many are children who need better clothes, more books and even better schools. Some are elderly people who cant afford their medicine or a doctors care. Consider how you can “pay it forward” rather than pay money back to your grandmother. 51. The helpers in the book “Magnificent Obsession”
46、 were not rewarded because _. A. they hadnt solved the problems thoroughly B. they had solved the problems secretly C. they were friends of the worried individual D. they expected to be paid back in the future 52. The underlined word “pay it forward” means _. A. to repay someone who has helped you B
47、. to pay someone else who needs help C. to help someone who has helped you D. to help someone else who needs help 53. What does the writer suggest with the example of “your elderly grandmother”? A. We should learn to respect our grandparents. B. We should work hard to get a good education. C. We should also lend a hand to other people in need of help. D. We should never forget to repay people for their help. 54. From the passage we know_. A. eve
