s. In other cases, some students may reject what they39。ve learned to break from their parents and be accepted by other students. Whether students are being different or openly opposing, a recent experience I had with them tells me that there39。s some hope for reviving and good manners. Good manners don39。t just guarantee acceptance. Good manners open doors to deeper connections and more meaningful roles in our society. Good manners are gentle signals that show we care about one another and allow us to relate to another person in a thoughtful way but at a respectable distance. (1)Which of the following is seldom a mark of success to people today? A.Handsome ine.B.An academic degree.C.High ranks in the officeD.Polite behavior.(2)What does the underlined part “make some allowances” in Paragraph 4 probably mean ? A.treat the absence of manners differentlyB.reject the absence of mannersC.oppose bad manners somehowD.partly permit being in the absence of manners(3)Which of the following is the benefit by good manners? A.Good manners makes people thoughtfulB.Good manners help deeper connections with othersC.Good manners guarantee acceptance of ourselvesD.Good manners inspire people to care about one another【答案】(1)D(2)A(3)B 【解析】【分析】本文講述了目前社會上很少把禮貌當(dāng)作成功的衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn),但是良好的禮儀是打開更深的關(guān)系和更有意義的角色之門,禮儀非常重要。(1)D推理判斷題。由第二段中的“When we think about what makes the person—it39。s more likely the degree, the job, the salary. Since when do we count manners as a measure of success?”可知,我們說起一個人的成功很可能談的是學(xué)位、工作和薪水,我們什么時候把禮貌當(dāng)作成功的衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)呢?可推知,對今天的成功者來說禮貌的舉止是很難成為成功的標(biāo)志的。故選D.(2)A詞義猜測題。根據(jù)本段中的“Whether students are being different or openly opposing”可知,作者涉及了兩種學(xué)生缺乏禮貌的不同情況,所以作者此處是指區(qū)別對待不禮貌的現(xiàn)象。故選A.(3)B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Good manners open doors to deeper connections and more meaningful roles in our society.”可知,在我們社會,良好的禮儀打開更深的關(guān)系和更有意義的角色之門。故選B.【點評】本文是一篇議論文,論述人們忽視了良好的禮儀的重要性。第一題為推理判斷題,要在了解短文主旨大意及主要細(xì)節(jié)分布的基礎(chǔ)上,對事實或證據(jù)進(jìn)行分析和評價,并在準(zhǔn)確合理分析做出符合作者寫作意圖的推論或判斷。難點在于第二題,要根據(jù)后面的內(nèi)容對其加以理解來做出選擇。考生要注意弄清文章主旨。5.閱讀理解 Why do you go to the library? For books, yesbut you like books because they tell stories. You hope to get lost in a story or be transported into someone else39。s life. At one type of library, you can do just thateven though there39。s not a single book. At a Human Library, instead of books, you can “borrow” people. Individuals volunteer as human “books” and participants in the event can “read” the bookmeaning they would have a oneonone conversation with the volunteer and share in a dialogue about that individual39。s experience. “Books” are volunteers from all walks of life who have experienced discrimination (歧視) based on race, religion, class, gender identity, age, lifestyle choices, disability and other aspects of their life For a certain amount of time, you can ask them questions and listen to their stories, which are as fascinating and as attractive as any you can find in a book. Many of the stories have to do with some kind of stereotype. You can speak with a refugee (難民), a soldier suffering from PTSD, a homeless person or a woman living with HIV. The Human Library encourages people to challenge their own longheld beliefsto truly get to know, and learn from someone they might otherwise make a quick judgment about. According to its website, the Human Library is “a place where difficult questions are expected, appreciated and answered.” It provides the opportunity for the munity to share and understand the experiences of others in their munity. The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2000. Ronni Abergel, his brother Dany, and some colleagues hosted a fourday event during a major Northern European festival, hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth. After the success of this event, Abergel founded the Human Library Organization, which has been growing ever since. Though there are a few permanent human libraries, most aren39。t places at all, but events. Though many do take place at physical libraries, you don39。t need a library card—anyone can e and be part of the experience. There have been human library events all over the globe, in universities and in pubs, from Chicago to Tunis to Edinburgh to San Antonio. The stories these books tell range from fascinating to heartbreaking and everything in between. And that39。s the very point of the organizationto prove that no person can be summed up in just one word. It seeks to show people that you truly can39。t judge a book by its coveror by its title or label. (1)The “books” in human libraries are____________.
