Ⅰ.阅读理解

Paparazzi,or “paps”,are photographers who take pictures of famous people when they are not at the center of public attention.Paps are different from professional photographers or journalists because they never take ordinary photos.
The goal for paparazzi is to get pictures that no one else will get and then sell the pictures to the buyer who offers the most money—normally a small newspaper,magazine or website.
There is no law against paparazzi taking pictures in public places.However,there are laws that protect certain individuals.For example,child protection laws stop improper pictures of anyone under 16 from being published.
There is also no law that stops paparazzi from following celebrities(名人) and taking their pictures either.However,if paps are secretly following them and taking pictures of their faces,they could get into trouble.
Most paparazzi hang_out on streets and hot spots for celebrities,waiting for the opportunity to take a picture of a star.Many stay on the streets until the early hours of the morning when celebrities are leaving nightclubs and looking a little worse for wear.However,some have other ways to make sure they get pictures.Many paps are in contact with “informers” who know the locations of celebrities at any given time.They then pass the information on to paparazzi.An informer could be anyone—from a restaurant waiter to a salesman.
Most of the time,paparazzi get a bad reputation for following celebrities.But sometimes stars or their managers will contact paps themselves and tell them exactly where and when they will go.What a lovehate relationship between paparazzi and celebrities!

2.In order to earn big money,a pap has to ___________.
A.make friends with famous people
B.sell the pictures to a big newspaper
C.get the only firsthand pictures
D.know the locations of celebrities
解析:C [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The goal for paparazzi is to get pictures that no one else will get and then sell the pictures to the buyer who offers the most money...”可知狗仔队的目的就是能够拍摄到别人拍不到的图片并以此谋利。故C项正确。]

A.Paparazzi always take pictures when famous people are tired.
B.Stars hate paparazzi and don't want to be followed.
C.Informers might get paparazzi into trouble.
D.Paparazzi and famous people rely on each other sometimes.

4.The underlined phrase “hang out” probably means “ ________ ”.
A.check out B.keep away
C.wander about D.leave out
解析:C [词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句“Most paparazzi hang out on streets...take a picture of a star.”可知,狗仔队通常在大街上或一些很受名人们欢迎的地方闲逛等名人出现,并拍摄他们的照片。所以hang out意为“徘徊”。故C项正确。]

From high definition(HD)TV to 3D TV,if we asked our screens to produce lifelike and realistic pictures,that is certainly what we have got.As the 3D TV revolution picks up pace,it's time to stop studying the technology itself and to start seeing exactly how we,as television fans,can benefit from it,and how it will change our viewing experience.
It is true that what you've got is good if you don't know what you're missing out on; in other words,if you're living with a perfectly common television,which has no HD capabilities,the chances are that you're not hoping for HD TV and that your picture looks as clear as you need it to be.But as soon as you try HD TV,you'll be amazed at the difference it makes to your viewing pleasure and the same is true of 3D TV.
3D TVs are rapidly becoming as common as other TVs on goods shelves(货架) of retailers and in the homes of people across the UK.And as the technology develops,the picture becomes clearer,sharper and more real.Television shows that look particularly good in 3D are sports,nature programs and those that are exciting and full of special effects,and lovers of these are in for a real treat when they buy a 3D TV.
More and more football matches are shown on 3D TV,and those fans who have experienced a 3D football match compare it to being there in person.The same is true of nature programs,particularly those that feature brightly colored animals and plants,the details of which are quite realistic when viewed on 3D TV.
Exciting films have always lent themselves to 3D technology,with dinosaurs surrounding you in your own living room and so on—it can be a frighteningly realistic experience for viewers!
[语篇解读] 3D电视是继高清电视之后的新产品,它给人逼真的感觉,很受人们欢迎。
5.Some people are happy with perfectly common televisions because ________ .
A.they don't know the benefits of HD TV and 3D TV
B.their common televisions are very expensive
C.they don't have enough money to buy HD TV or 3D TV
D.their televisions must have some HD capabilities
解析:A [细节理解题。根据第二段的“It is true that what you've got is good if you don't know what you're missing out on...”可知选A。]
6.What does the underlined word “retailers” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.People who study HD television.
B.Businessmen who sell goods to consumers.
C.People who are ready to buy something.
D.Places where a lot of goods are stored.
解析:B [词义猜测题。从其前文“...other TVs on goods shelves(货架) of...”可知,其他电视机摆在货架子上,由此猜出“retailers”是“零售商们”,因此选B。]
7.What television programs look particularly good on 3D TV?
A.Sports programs and nature programs.
B.Music programs and education programs.
C.Education programs and nature programs.
D.Art programs and writing programs.
解析:A [细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句可知,体育与自然类节目在3D电视上的效果特别好。因此选A。]
8.This text is written mainly to tell readers ________.
A.the difference between HD TV and 3D TV
B.there is a need to buy HD TV or 3D TV
C.the rapid development of technology
D.3D TV gives viewers a realistic experience
解析:D [写作意图题。根据第一段的 “...can benefit from it,and how it will change our viewing experience.”与最后一段的 “...it can be a frighteningly realistic experience for viewers!”可知,本文主要告诉读者3D电视的好处或3D电视给人带来逼真的感觉。]

2.As [考查定语从句。句意:正如几乎每个中国人都知道的,这部小说是由查良镛所著,他的笔名金庸更为人所熟知。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,指代整个主句的内容,且位于句首,表示“正如”,故用As。]
3.set [考查非谓语动词。此处是“with+宾语+宾补”结构,宾语the first与及物动词set“安排”之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词作宾补,表示被动意义和已经完成的动作。]
