规范练(十七)2篇阅读理解＋完形填空(限时35分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Given that many people's moods (情绪) are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate，it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine.Looking like a setting from the film Charlie the Chocolate Factory，Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of chocolates.Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents' corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.
If the CRF seems to be a smart idea，that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony.That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored (味道) chocolates.
The CRF's produce is “green”，made within the country and divided into 10 lines，with the Alcohol Series being the most popular.The Exotic Series—with Sichuan pepper，red bean (豆)，cheese and other flavors—also does well and is fun to taste.And for chocolate snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others，the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo，Cuba，V enezuela，and Ghana，among others.

Although being famous might sound like a dream coming true，today's stars，feeling like zoo animals，face pressures that few of us can imagine.They are at the center of much of the world's attention.Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes，cameras ready.Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!
According to psychologist Christina Villareal，celebrities—famous people—worry constantly
about their public appearance.Eventually，they start to lose track of who they really are，seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them，not as the persons they were before everyone knew their names.“Over time，”Villareal says，“they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages.In the 4th century B．C.，painters followed Alexander the Great into battle，hoping to picture his victories for his admirers.When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century，his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans，leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy.Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today，however，is a lot more difficult than it used to be.Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras.When they say something silly or do something ridiculous，there is always the Internet to spread the news in m inutes and keep their“story”alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome，why aren't all celebrities running away from it？The answer is that there are still ways to deal with it.Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities.They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice.Still，even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are.They are tired of being famous already.
[语篇解读]本文为一篇议论文，谈论了作为名人的窘境：名人的隐私得不到保护；名人的生活会受到打扰；名人无时无刻不暴露在媒体下；名人不敢随意说话，因为一不小心就会成为媒体永恒的话题。

5．It can be learned from the passage that stars today .
A．are often misunderstood by the public
B．can no longer have their privacy protected
C．spend too much on their public appearance
D．care little about how they have come into fame
解析：推理判断题。

由文章第一段可知，这些名人吸引全世界的注意力；狗仔队在他们家门口安营扎寨，随时准备拍照；街头小报刊登他们的个人生活，他们经常被拍照、被打断要求签名等，由此可推知他们的隐私得不到保护，故选B。

答案：B
6．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A．Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
B．The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
C．Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
D．Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
解析：主旨大意题。

文章第三段第一句话为主题句，然后又举具体的例子来说明。

B 项“名人面对的问题古已有之”，也就是说这个问题已经存在很久了。

故选B。

答案：B
7．What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?
A．Availability of modern media.
B．Inadequate social recognition.
C．Lack of favorable chances.
D．Huge population of fans.
解析：细节理解题。

根据第四段的“Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras.When they say something silly or do something ridiculous，there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their‘story’alive forever”可知，他们做任何事情都会被现代照相机、因特网等当代媒体捕捉到，因此，这些现代媒体让今天的人成为名人不容易。

故选A。

答案：A
8．What is the author's attitude toward modern celebrity?
A．Sincere.B．Skeptical.
C．Disapproving. D．Sympathetic.
解析：态度意图题。

通读全文可知，作者介绍了很多名人受成名所累，失去了生活的隐私，失去了自我，变得孤独、变得被世界隔离，因此可以推断出作者对他们抱有同情的态度。

Sincere真诚的；Skeptical怀疑的；Disapproving反对的；Sympathetic同情的。

故选D。

答案：D
