However, the new university and buildings caused poorer families to have to leave the area. This destroyed the Indiana Avenue munity and with it, its jazz culture.” 但在20世紀50年代，情況發(fā)生了變化?！欢碌拇髮W和建筑使得貧困家庭不得不離開這個地區(qū)。這摧毀了印第安納大道社區(qū)，也隨之摧毀了它的爵士樂文化。可知，轉折詞but之后描述了爵士樂的衰落，因此推測出劃線詞prospered意為“興盛、蓬勃發(fā)展”。故選D。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“It began to bring back lost cultures such as live music on the Avenue.

This holiday is much more important in some regions than in others (Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo being the biggest Sweetest Day cities). It is a holiday that is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country. Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged, and orphaned, but also friends, relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed. Over 60 years ago, a Cleveland man, believing that the city39。s orphans and shutins (臥病在床的人) too often felt forgotten and neglected, formed the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this through the distribution(分發(fā)) of small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he distributed these small remembrances on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to participate in the celebration ceremony, which came to be called Sweetest Day. In time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the underprivileged(弱勢群體)was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small remembrance. And soon the idea spread to other cities all over the country. Sweetest Day is not based on any single group39。s religious belief or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. Because for many people remembering takes the form of giftgiving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a practical way.（1）Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph? and more people are now celebrating Sweetest Day in the whole country. Day is a holiday which always falls on the Saturday in October. Day is much more important in big cities than in small cities. a few religious have the tradition to celebrate the holiday.（2）The idea of creating Sweetest Day came from _____. city39。s orphans and shutins city named Cleveland 60 years ago man who cared orphans and shutins man39。s friends, relatives and associates（3）Sweetest Day is celebrated in the following ways EXCEPT _____. kind act family party small remembrance（4）From the third paragraph we can learn that _____. is the people in Cleveland who spread Sweetest Day to other cities with the help of the man39。s friends and neighbors, he got a small remembrance 60 years ago, a man too often felt forgotten and neglected people loved to be remembered by others on Sweetest Day in Cleveland【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了美國的甜蜜日。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“It is a holiday that is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country.”可知，甜蜜日是一個在全國每年都越來越受歡迎的節(jié)日。故選A。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Over 60 years ago, a Cleveland man, believing that the city39。s orphans and shutins (臥病在床的人) too often felt forgotten and neglected, formed the idea of showing them that they were remembered.” 60多年前，一個克利夫蘭人認為，這個城市的孤兒和被關在家里的人常常感到被遺忘和忽視，于是產(chǎn)生了這樣一個想法：讓他們知道，他們被人記掛著。由此可以推斷出，創(chuàng)造甜蜜日的想法來自一個關心孤兒和自閉的人。故選C。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“He did this through the distribution(分發(fā)) of small gift”以及“In time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the underprivileged(弱勢群體)was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small remembrance.”可知，慶祝甜蜜日可以通過送小禮物，小小的紀念品或者善意的行為。文章中并沒有提可以通過家庭聚會的方式來慶祝。故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“In time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the underprivileged(弱勢群體)was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small remembrance. And soon the idea spread to other cities all over the country.”隨著時間的推移，向弱勢群體傳播歡樂的最甜蜜的一天的想法被擴大到包括所有人，并成為用善意的行為或小小的紀念來紀念他人的一個場合。很快這個想法就傳遍了全國其他城市。由此可以推斷出，是克利夫蘭的人民把最甜蜜日傳播到其他城市。故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。9．閱讀理解 Looking to have a rest after the working days？Check out to see if the following events are in your area！Northside FestivalDescription: The music festival consists of artists, such as Sidney Gish and Orion Sun, free cake for everyone!
