【文章內(nèi)容簡介】
discovered that the acts of revenge people had taken ranged from the ridiculous to the disturbing. Winston did shine a spotlight on the woman39。s behavior — but from afar, in a way that shamed her. We must instead bat rudeness head on. When we see it occur in a store, we must step up and say something. If it happens to a colleague, we must point it out. We must defend strangers in the same way we39。d defend our best friends. But we can do it with grace, by handling it without a 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 strain themselves. As this tide of rudeness rises, civilization needs civility.(1)What can you learn about Robert Winston from the passage?

Home has bee more of a feeling than a place. I feel at home when I am with my family in London, but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love. Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows. It is more plicated than that. This is one of the reasons that celebrating the new year has bee very important for me. I do not care about New Year39。s resolutions (愿望)—living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don39。t feel the need to plan for change: I live for change. New Year39。s Eve has bee my time to reconnect with the friends that makes me feel at home. Every year we try to reunite wherever we are and remember the time when we knew each other so well that we felt like a family. It is a moment to reconnect and get to know each other again. Last year, we travelled to a cottage in Ireland where we had no internet and no neighbours. In the middle of the countryside, away from our big and constantly changing lives, we were able to bee like a little family again. This year, we went to Barcelona. It was a very big change. We were surrounded by culture and life and joy. There were bars and parties. It was different, but one thing stayed very much the sameI felt at home again and we felt like a family again. A lot of people feel that New Year39。s Eve cannot live up to expectations. Ideas such as the New Year39。s kiss and resolutions create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember, a night that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year one worth living. I think those people are missing the point. If Christmas is about family, why can39。t New Year be about friends?(1)What does the underlined word It in Paragraph I probably mean? A.FamilyB.Living abroadC.HomeD.Staying with friends(2)Why doesn39。t the author care about New Year39。s resolutions? A.New Year39。s resolutions cannot be reached.B.His lifestyle makes him always ready for change.C.It39。s meaningless to make any big changes in life.D.Making New Year39。s resolutions creates much pressure.(3)What does the author try to convey through his experiences in Ireland and Barcelona? A.Life is peaceful and enjoyable.B.Living abroad is a happy experience.C.Staying with friends makes one feel at home.D.Travelling abroad enriches one39。s life experience.(4)Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.New Year39。s Celebration: How?B.True Friendship: What?C.Living Abroad: Comfortable or Complicated?D.Change: Plan it or Make it?【答案】 (1)C(2)B(3)C(4)A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文,介紹了對于怎樣慶祝新年這個(gè)問題,作者的答案是和朋友一起度過。 (1)考查代詞指代。根據(jù)第一段中的“Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows.”家不再是一幅有前門和一些窗戶的房子的圖畫。由此可知,下文的意思是家比這更復(fù)雜。It指代上文提到的“家”,故選C。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“I do not care about‘New Year39。s res
