A
One morning the old Water-rat put his head out of his hole. The little ducks were swimming about in the pond, and their mother, who was pure white with real red legs, was trying to teach them how to stand on their heads in the water.
“You will never be in the best society unless you can stand on your heads，”she kept saying to them；and every now and then she showed them how it was done. But the little ducks paid no attention to her. They were so young that they did not know what an advantage it is to be in society at all.
“What disobedient children！”cried the old Water-rat，“they really deserve to be drowned. ”
“Nothing of the kind，”answered the Duck, “everyon e must make a beginning, and parents cannot be too patient. ”
“Ah! I know nothing about the feelings of parents，” said the Water-rat, “I am not a family man. In fact，I have never been married，and I never intend to be. Love is all very well in its way, but friendship is much higher. Indeed，I know of nothing in the world that is either nobler or rarer than a devoted friendship. ”
“And what，pray，is your idea of the duties of a devoted friend？” asked a Green Linnet, who overheard the conversation.
“Yes, that is just what I want to know，” said the Duck；and she swam away to the end of the pond, and stood upon her head，in order to give her children a good example.
“What a silly question！” cried the Water-rat. “I should expect my devoted friend to be devoted to me，of course. ”
“And what would you do in return？” said the little bird，swinging upon a silver spray，and flapping his tiny wings.
“I don' t understand you，” answered the Water-rat.
“Let me tell you a story on the subject，”said the Linnet.
“Is the story about me？” asked the Water-rat. “If so，I will listen to it，for I am extremely fond of fiction. ”
“It is applicable to you，” answered the Linnet；and he flew down, and floating upon the bank, he told the story of The De v oted Friend.
1. What was the Duck teaching her children?
A. How to survive in a competitive society.
B. How to keep their heads in water for long.
C. How to be patient in listening attentively.
D. How to make friends with other animals.
2. According to the Water-rat, he valued __________ most.

A. he liked reading books on friendship
B. he didn't know the duties of a friend

B. borrow some relevant books for the activities
C. participate in the activities from 8：00 am to 4：00 pm
D. choose only one of the activities according to their interest

But they have the sound of “R”. My teacher used to give three cheers when I did well in maths. They gave praise and approval for a job well done.
Some of my friends were confused and did not understand their school work. They were at sixes and sevens. In fact, they did not care if they finished high school. But they were happy when they completed their studies and graduated from high school. They were in seventh heaven. They were on cloud nine. Nine times out of ten students who do well in school find good jobs. Some work in an office doing the same things every day at nine-to-five jobs.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文——广告。

全文介绍了要举办的五场音乐演出。

提供的信息包含音乐会的主题、电话以及网址等。

此类广告具有条目清晰的特点，因此所设问题也是针对某项内容。

1．解析：细节理解题。

根据第一则广告中的The Opera honors Enjoy the Arts membership discounts.Phone：241-2742.可以得出，如果想看歌剧，应打241-2742。

其他四则广告都没有提到opera一词。

答案：A
2．解析：细节理解题。

根据第二则广告中的．..which offers several concerts from March through June.可知，可以在三月至六月去听Chamber Orchestra举办的音乐会，因此May (五月)合适。

February (二月)，August (八月)和November (十一月)都不在此范围内。

答案：B
3．解析：细节理解题。

根据第四则广告中的．ually at Patricia Cobbett Theater.和Students with I．D.cards can attend the events for free.可知，有身份证的学生在Patricia Cobbett Theater可以免费看演出。

A、B、D三项并未提身份证的问题，故可排除。

答案：C
4．解析：细节理解题。

本题需要纵向地将五则广告进行比较。

第五则广告Riverbend Music Theater提到了outdoor，而前四则广告中，这些举办音乐演出的场地都没有说是露天的，因此这是Riverbend Music Theater与众不同的地方。

B项有一定的干扰性。

从最后一则广告中的．..all summer long！可知，B项中的all year round(一整年)表述错误，因此可以排除；C 项表示给会员打折，这是第一则广告提及的内容；D项表示展现一些知名的音乐作品，在文中没有依据，不能说明Riverbend Music Theater与其他地方的不同。

答案：A
B
Bad news sells.If it bleeds，it leads.No news is good news，and good news is no news.Those
are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread and monitored (监控) in different ways，researchers are discovering new rules.By tracking people's e-mails and online posts，scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media，”says Jonah Berger，a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania.“They want your eyeballs and don't care how you're feeling.But when you share a story with your friends，you care a lot more how they react.You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails，Web posts and reviews，face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative (消极的)，but that didn't necessarily mean people preferred positive news.Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things？To test for that possibility，Dr.Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories：thousands of articles on The New York Times' website.He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months.One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles.He found that science amazed Times' readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny，or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety，but not articles that left them merely sad.They needed to be aroused (激发) one way or the other，and they preferred good news to bad.The more positive an article，the more likely it was to be shared，as Dr.Berger explains in his new book，“Contagious：Why Things Catch On.”
5．What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?
A．News reports. B．Research papers.
C．Private e-mails. D．Daily conversations.
6．What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?
A．They're socially inactive.
B．They're good at telling stories.
C．They're inconsiderate of others.
D．They're careful with their words.
7．Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr.Berger's research?
A．Sports news. B．Science articles.
C．Personal accounts. D．Financial reviews.
8．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide
B．Online News Attracts More People
C．Reading Habits Change with the Times
D．Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

在晚间广播或者早报上，不好的新闻有卖点，流血的新闻占头条。

但是研究表明，在电子邮件或者网络新闻中，人们更喜欢有积极意义或者有趣的新闻。

5．解析：细节理解题。

从第一段中的Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.可知，这样的情况出现在新闻报道中。

B项是“研究论文”，C项是“私人电子邮件”，这两项根据By tracking people's e-mails and online posts，scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.可以排除；D项是“日常会话”，根据“The‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media...”可知，classic rules适用于大众传媒，而不是日常会话。

答案：A
6．解析：推理判断题。

根据第二段中的“...But when you share a story with your friends，you care a lot more how they react.You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”可知，与朋友分享故事时你更加注意他们的反应，不想让他们觉得你是Debbie Downer那样的人。

因此Debbie Downer是不考虑他人感受的人。

A项“他们社交方面不积极”，B项“他们擅长讲故事”，D项“他们说话谨慎”，都与文章内容相悖。

答案：C
7．解析：细节理解题。

根据第三段中的．..was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles.可知，科学类文章是读者转发推荐最多的。

A、C、D三个选项都不是科学类文章，故可排除。

答案：B
8．解析：标题归纳题。

全文讲述了好消息在社交网络媒体中传播得更快更深远的现实，这打破了传统媒体中坏消息传播得又快又广的惯例，正面的新闻更容易被分享。

答案：D

塔尼斯智商高达150，但是身患注意力缺陷多动障碍，多亏艾尔弗雷德的培训中心，塔尼斯有了在线学习的机会，重新有了人生的奋斗目标，并找到了一份工作。

1．解析：细节理解题。

书信正文第二段中塔尼斯讲述自己尽管智商高，但是身患注意力缺陷多动障碍，每次保持注意力集中达不到一个多小时(unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time)；第四段中又提到病情加剧(my disease got worse)，中学毕业后想上大学，但是不能，显然是由于她无法集中注意力，故选B项。

答案：B
2．解析：细节理解题。

作者在文章开头直接说明写信的目的：你的帮助对我的人生是多么重要；然后描述自己的病情，未了的大学梦，以及艾尔弗雷德开办的网站给作者带来的学习快乐，因此本文的写作目的是C项：表明她对这个学习中心的感激。
