Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
A famous doctor Lord Robert Winston took a train from London to Manchester, and he found himself becoming angry.A woman picked up her phone and began a loud conversation, which lasted an unbelievable hour. Furious,Winston took pictures of the woman and post them on the social media.
As the train arrived at its destination, Winston had had enough of the woman's rudeness. Meanwhile the press were waiting for her on the platform. And when they deliberately showed her the message, she used just one word to describe Winston's actions: rude.
The story of Winston is something of a microcosm (缩影) of our age of increasing rudeness fueled by the social media. What can we do to fix this?
Studies have shown that rudeness spreads quickly and virally, almost like the common cold. Once infected,we are more aggressive,less creative and worse at our jobs. The only way to end this is to make a conscious decision to deal with it.We must have the courage to point it out, face to face. We must say, “Just stop.”For Winston, that would have meant approaching the woman, telling her that her conversation was disturbing other passengers and politely asking her to speak more quietly or make the call at another time.
The anger and injustice we feel at the rude behaviour of a stranger can drive us to do odd things. In my own research, I surveyed 2,000 adults, and discovered that the acts of revenge people had taken ranged from the ridiculous to the disturbing.Winston put the spotlight on the woman's behaviour—but in a way that shamed her.
We must fight with rudeness directly. When we see it occur in a store, we must step up and say something. We must defend strangers in the same way we'd defend our best friends. But we can do it with grace, by handling it without any trace of aggression and without being rude ourselves. Because once rude people can see their actions through the eyes of others, they are far more likely to end that rude behaviour themselves.
1.Why did the woman use the word “rude” to describe Winston's actions?
A.He said rude words to the woman.
B.He lost his temper due to other people's rudeness.
C.He behaved improperly and spoke loudly on the train.
D.He pointed out the woman's rude behaviour in a wrong way.
2.What is the function of Paragraph 3?
A.To draw a conclusion from the above story.
B.To form a connecting link between the previous and the following.
C.To tell us the ways to deal with rudeness.
D.To show us the positive and negative effects of the social media.
3.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.We can deal with rudeness in an indirect way.
B.Rudeness and manners can hardly coexist in a civilized society.
C.Both strangers and acquaintances deserve our friendly warning.
D.Rude people can't see their rudeness through others' eyes.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Don't Ignore Online Rudeness
B.Civilization Calls for Civility
C.How to Handle Rudeness Spread Online
D.Rude Behaviour Makes a Rude Society
[语篇解读] 本文以Winston医生的故事为例,对我们该如何应对粗鲁行为提出了建议。
1.D [考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“Furious,Winston took pictures of the woman and post them on the social media”可推知,这位女士用“rude”一词来形容Winston,是因为他用了一种错误的方式来指出这位女士的无礼行为。故选D项。]
2.B [考查推理判断。本文前两段讲述了Winston医生的故事,从第四段开始介绍了有关粗鲁行为的研究并提出了应对粗鲁行为的建议。根据第三段中的“The story of Winston”和“What can we do to fix this?”可推知,第三段在文中起到承上启下的作用。故选B项。]
3.C [考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“We must defend strangers in the same way we'd defend our best friends.But we can do it with grace,by handling it without any trace of aggression and without being rude ourselves.”可知,作者认为无论是陌生人还是熟人,我们都应给予友好的警告。故选C项。]
4.B [考查主旨大意。本文以Winston医生的故事为例,对我们应该如何应对粗鲁行为提出了建议。根据文章内容可知,B选项“文明社会需要礼貌”符合文意。]
B
Many people spend more than four hours per day on WeChat, and it is redefining the word “friend”. Does friending someone on social networking sites make him or her your friend in real life?
Robin Dunbar, a professor at Oxford University, found that only 15 of the 150 Facebook friends the average user has, could be counted as actual friends and only five as close friends. WeChat may show a similar pattern.
Those with whom you attended a course together, applied for the same parttime job, went to a party and intended to cooperate but failed to take up most of your WeChat friends. In chat records, the only message may be a system notice, “You have accepted somebody's friend request.” Sometimes when seeing some photos shared on WeChat Moments, you even need several minutes to think about when you became friends. Also, you may be disturbed by mass messages (群发信息) sent from your unfamiliar “friends”, including requests for voting for their children or friends, links from pinduoduo. com (a Chinese ecommerce platform that allows users to buy items at lower prices if they purchase them in groups) and cookiecutter (千篇一律的) blessings during holidays.
You would have thought about deleting this type of “friends” and sorting out your connections. But actually you did not do that as you were taught that social networking is valuable to one's success. Besides, it would be really awkward if they found that you had unfriended them already. Then,you keep increasing your “friends” on social media and click “like” on some pictures that you are not really interested in. But the fact is that deep emotional connections do not come with the increasing number of your friends on social media.
If the number of your friends reaches 150, maintaining these relationships can be tough to you, and sometimes even will make you anxious. According to Robin Dunbar, 150 is the limit on the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships.
5.What can we learn from Robin Dunbar's finding in Paragraph 2?
A.A Facebook user has 250 friends on average.
B.Most of the social media friends can be actual friends.
C.Among our social media friends, only a few people matter.
D.Only 15 people of a person's Facebook friends can be close friends.
6.What does the third paragraph tell us about most of your WeChat friends?
A.You have deep communication with them.
B.You benefit a lot from their mass messages.
C.You just have a nodding acquaintance with them.
D.You become friends with them on important occasions.
7.What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Removing unfamiliar friends on WeChat.
B.Strengthening ties with your WeChat friends.
C.Keeping increasing your friends on social media.
D.Clicking “like” on pictures posted by your friends.
8.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.We will be anxious if we make friends online.
B.We should avoid making any friends on social media.
C.We should make as many friends as possible on social media.
D.We have difficulty managing relationships with over 150 people.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇议论文。文章就“在社交媒体上与某人成为好友会让他/她成为你现实生活中的朋友吗?”进行了论述。
5.C [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“only 15 of the 150 Facebook friends the average user has,could be counted as actual friends and only five as close friends”可知,在我们的社交网络朋友中,只有几个人很重要。故选C。]
6.C [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Those with whom you attended a course together,applied for the same parttime job,went to a party and intended to cooperate but failed to take up most of your WeChat friends.In chat records,the only message may be a system notice,‘You have accepted somebody's friend request.’”可知,你和你的微信朋友可能大部分都是那些一起上过课、做过兼职、参加过一个聚会或想要合作的人,即你和他们只是点头之交而已,故选C。]
7.A [词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“You would have thought about deleting this type of‘friends’and sorting out your connections.But actually you did not do that as you were taught that social networking is valuable to one's success.”可知,你可能会考虑删除这种类型的“朋友”,并整理你的人际关系。但实际上你并没有这么做。因为你被教导说社交网络对于一个人的成功是有价值的。由此可知that指的是“移除微信上不熟悉的朋友”。故选A。]
8.D [细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“If the number of your friends reaches 150,maintaining these relationships can be tough to you,and sometimes even will make you anxious.”可知,我们很难管理自己与超过150人之间的关系,故选D。]
