They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell. Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola. There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can bee like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free. There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages。 they require courage and strength to share。 and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else. Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others. Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overe our disadvantages pletely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes. Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.（1）What39。s the function of the example in Paragraph 2? reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola. shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story. proves not sharing a story can cause trouble. concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.（2）One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______. highlights the importance of hard work are used to exposing their weaknesses sometimes have no courage to share their stories stories make themselves feel uneasy（3）Which is close in meaning to the underlined word uncorked in Paragraph 3? （4）The writer aims to convince us to _______. open to people close to you by sharing some secrets stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves the dangers that can be caused by untold stories the importance of being honest when making friends【答案】 （1）C（2）C（3）A（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，作者強(qiáng)調(diào)了分享自己故事的重要性，并且加以證明。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news”可知不分享故事會有消極的影響，并且舉了例子來證明，故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“they require courage and strength to share”可知他們需要勇氣和力量分享，所以可推理出有人缺少勇氣，故選C。 （3）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第三段中的“When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”當(dāng)他們最終自由了，他們的破壞力就是自由，故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷?？v觀全文可知，文章一直在寫我們要分享自己的故事，才不會有太大的壓力，所以作者旨在使我們相信適當(dāng)?shù)姆窒砦覀兊墓适?，對我們自己和別人都好，故選B。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 It has always been thought that alcohol causes people to put on weight because it contains a lot of sugar, but new research suggests a glass a day cold form part of a diet. Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on weight。 those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight. A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, Light to moderate alcohol intake, especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain. The International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly that data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight. Boston University39。s Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物
