　　[2024·河南省豫北三校高三聯(lián)合考試]

　　Every Tuesday, my daughters have two hours of softball practice. This is when I head around the corner to the library and work on my weekly class newsletter, grade papers and visit HelpOthers.

　　I also do acts of kindness. I have put homemade smile cards in library books and also left money with a note at the reference desk to pay someone's late fines (罰款)．

　　Tonight, I attached (貼上) a homemade smile card to a small bag of chocolate. As I walked into the library, I headed to my usual area near the reference desk and placed the bag on a table. I sat in a chair near the table and did some work.

　　It was so interesting how quickly the library workers noticed! I heard some say “Hey, did you see that？”as they pointed to the chocolate. The reference worker who I had given the money to pay fines was there tonight working. She noticed me and the familiar blue homemade RAK card and was whispering to explain what I had done previously.

　　For forty-five minutes, I would type and look up. It was interesting to watch as people slowed to read the card, but kept going. I think many felt uncomfortable taking it because it was out in the open. I figured it might take some time, and then I dove into (潛心) grading papers.

　　At the end of an hour and half, I packed up to get the girls. As I looked up, I noticed the chocolate was gone! How did I possibly miss someone taking it?

　　Then I was left wondering —man or woman, young or old, I'll never know. But I do hope they enjoyed it, and I'm so glad they took it.

　　As I usually do, I visited briefly with the softball moms at the end of the practice. I shared the exciting news about my kindness article and told them about the library acts of kindness.

　　1．Every Tuesday, the author goes to the library ________.

　　A. to hand out the homemade cards

　　B. to chat with the library workers

　　C. to work as a volunteer

　　D. to wait for her daughters

　　2．Why did the author leave money with a note at the reference desk?

　　A. To buy smile cards.

　　B. To do an act of kindness.

　　C. To pay for her late fines.

　　D. To thank the library workers.

　　3．After placing the bag of chocolate on a table, the author ________.

　　A. sat down to have a rest and relax herself

　　B. began to do her own work attentively

　　C. kept an eye on what would happen to it

　　D. started to hear what the library workers were talking about

　　4．The author is most probably a ________.

　　A. librarianB. teacher

　　C. tennis coach

　　D. social worker

　　[文章大意]　本文為記敘文。每個(gè)星期二，作者女兒都要去練習(xí)壘球，在此期間，作者就到旁邊的圖書館等候并做些小善事，諸如放點(diǎn)錢幫助那些因逾期還書而被罰款的人、放一盒巧克力在那里給人們一份驚喜。

　　1．D。考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Every Tuesday, my daughters have two hours of softball practice. This is when I head around the corner to the library...”可知，作者是陪女兒去練習(xí)壘球，期間有兩個(gè)小時(shí)，作者就到旁邊的圖書館去等。故選D。

　　Does Fame Drive You Crazy?

　　Although being famous might sound like a dream come 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(狗仔隊(duì)) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小報(bào)) 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 Villarreal, 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 people they were

　　before everyone knew their names. “Over time，” Villarreal 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 minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.

　　If fame is so troublesome,

　　why aren't all celebrities running away from it? The answer is 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.

　　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

　　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.

　　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.

　　8. What is the author's attitude toward modern celebrity?

　　A. Sincere.

　　B. Sceptical.

　　C. Disapproving.

　　D. Sympathetic.

　　[文章大意]　'本文為議論文。作者主要對現(xiàn)在的名人沒有隱私的問題發(fā)表了自己的看法。

　　[長難句]　Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today's stars，feeling like zoo animals，face pressures that few of us can imagine.盡管成名或許聽起來就像夢想實(shí)現(xiàn)了一樣，可如今的明星感覺就像動物園的動物，承受著少有人能夠想象的壓力。

　　本句是復(fù)合句，although引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句；feeling like zoo animals是現(xiàn)在分詞短語作狀語，主句為today's stars face pressures that few of us can imagine。

　　5．B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段第二、三、四句“They are at the center of much of the world's attention. Paparazzi camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.”可知現(xiàn)在的明星沒有隱私，故選擇B項(xiàng)。

　　6．B。主旨大意題。此段通過列舉歷史上的名人所遇到的麻煩來證明名人所遇到的問題由來已久，故選擇B項(xiàng)。

　　7．A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段所描述內(nèi)容可知以Internet為代表的現(xiàn)代媒介令名人們的處境更加不易，故此題選擇A項(xiàng)。

　　8．D。觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。通讀全文可以發(fā)現(xiàn)，作者對現(xiàn)代名人沒有批判、懷疑或是大加鼓勵，倒是同情他們沒有隱私、體諒他們難處的句子頻繁出現(xiàn)，故此題應(yīng)選擇D項(xiàng)sympathetic同情的。sincere真誠的，sceptical懷疑的，disapproving不贊同的。

　?、?短文改錯(cuò)

　　I have a bad back which bursts out hurt from time to time. Yesterday I was out walking while carrying with shopping bags and my keys. My keys slipped from my hand but fell to the ground. The problem was that because my back I couldn't bend down to get it. I was just thinking of how to get around this when two teenages girls came up beside me. Without even speaking to me, one of the girls just bent down, picking up my keys, handed them to me and went on my way. When it was a small gesture and she couldn't have known that I was in too many pain to bend down, it meant a great deal to me at that moment.
