閱讀理解專題特訓(xùn)16能力升級訓(xùn)練第26頁 A(2016·全國卷,C)If you are a fruit groweror would like to become onetake advantage of Apple Day to see whats around.Its called Apple Day but in practice its more like Apple Month.The day itself is on October 21,but since it has caught on,events now spread out over most of October around Britain.Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see,and often taste,a wide variety of apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets,it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence,such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.Although it doesnt taste of anything special,its still worth a try,as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cats Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette,but youll need a warm,sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it,so its a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it. At the events,you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions,and because these are family affairs,children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit,including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果園).If you want to have a real orchard experience,try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale,near Faversham in Kent.【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了蘋果節(jié)舉辦的時(shí)間、項(xiàng)目及地點(diǎn)。重點(diǎn)提到蘋果節(jié)上種類豐富的蘋果品種和有關(guān)蘋果種植的相關(guān)知識,特別指出可以與蘋果種植專家進(jìn)行討論等。再加上孩子們喜歡的以蘋果為主題的趣味游戲,可以說,對于那些對蘋果及蘋果種植感興趣的人極具吸引力。1.Whatcanpeopledoattheappleevents?A.Attendexpertslectures.B.Visitfruit-lovingfamilies.C.Plantfruittreesinanorchard.D.Tastemanykindsofapples.答案:D解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段第一句“Visitinganappleeventisagoodchancetosee,andoftentaste,awidevarietyofapples.”可知,在蘋果節(jié)的活動中,人們可以品嘗到各種蘋果。故選D項(xiàng)。2.What

desire.答案:B解析:詞義猜測題。由第三段第二句可知,OrleansReinette果品上佳,但是對溫度、環(huán)境、土壤的要求很高,因此,對大多數(shù)喜歡種植該蘋果的愛好者來說是apipedream(白日夢)。4.What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A.To show how to grow apples.B.To

bleeds,it leads.No news is good news,and good news is no news.Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread and monitored(監(jiān)控) in different ways,researchers are discovering new rules.By tracking peoples e-mails and online posts,scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.“The if it bleeds rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger,a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania.“They want your eyeballs and dont care how youre feeling.But when you share a story with your friends,you care a lot more how they react.You dont want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communicatione-mails,Web posts and reviews,face-to-face conversationsfound that it tended to be more positive than negative(消極的),but that didnt necessarily mean people preferred positive news.Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things?To test for that possibility,Dr.Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories:thousands of articles on The New York Times website.He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months.One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles.He found that science amazed Times readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny,or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety,but not articles that left them merely sad.They needed to be aroused(激發(fā)) one way or the other,and they preferred good news to bad.The more positive an article,the more likely it was to be shared,as Dr.Berger explains in his new book,“Contagious:Why Things Catch On.”【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇議論文。俗話說,好事不出門,壞事傳千里。但是研究者們通過跟蹤和監(jiān)控人們的電子郵件、網(wǎng)絡(luò)帖子及評論、面對面會話等發(fā)現(xiàn),人與人之間更多分享的是那些給人們帶來積極情緒的好消息,而不是導(dǎo)致消極情緒的壞消息。1.Whatdotheclassicrulesmentionedinthetextapplyto?A.Newsreports.B.Researchpapers.C.Privatee-mails.D.Dailyconversations.答案:A解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段前四句可知,這些經(jīng)典的規(guī)則主要應(yīng)用于eveningbroadcasts和morningpapers,由此推出,這些規(guī)則常用于新聞報(bào)道中。故選A項(xiàng)。2.What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?A.Theyre socially inactive.B.Theyre good at telling stories.C.Theyre inconsiderate of others.D.Theyre careful with their words.答案:C解析:推理判斷題。由第二段JonahBerger所說的“Butwhenyoushareastorywithyourfriends,youcarealotmorehowtheyreact.YoudontwantthemtothinkofyouasaDebbieDowner.”可知,當(dāng)你和朋友們分享故事時(shí),你更在乎他們的反應(yīng),你不希望他們認(rèn)為你是一個(gè)不考慮別人感受的人。故選C項(xiàng)。3.Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr.Bergers research?A.Sports news.B.Science articles.C.Personal accounts.D.Financial reviews.答案:B解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段最后兩句可知,人們分享最多的文章是那些關(guān)于科學(xué)欄目的文章。故選B項(xiàng)。4.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Sad Stories Travel Far and WideB.Online News Attracts More PeopleC.Reading Habits Change with the TimesD.Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks答案:D解析:主旨大意題。通過第一段最后一句引出話題,以及最后一段的概括總結(jié)可知,在社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)中,人們更愿意分享的是傳遞積極情緒的好消息。故選D項(xiàng)。CI hadnt walked across our old farm in the past fifteen years.Yet the memories came flooding back.Rain or shine,I used to walk this path each day to see Greta.She always made me smile,even after my sister and I had just had a big quarrel.I would help Greta with her chores(家務(wù)活).Then we would taste her delicious home-made chocolate cookies and ice cream.Staying in a wheelchair didnt stop Greta from being an outstanding cook.Greta gave me two of the greatest gifts Ive ever received.First,she taught me how to read.She also taught me that when I forgave my sister for our quarrels,it meant I wouldnt keep feeling like a victim.Instead,I would feel sunny.Mr.Dinking,the local banker,tried to take away Gretas house and land after her husband passed away.Thanks to Papa and Uncle Johan,Greta got to keep everything.Soon folks were coming from miles around to buy Gretas home-made cookies and ice cream.Greta even had me take a big apple pie to Mr.Dinking who later became one of her best customers and friends.Thats just how Greta was.She could turn anyone into a friend!Greta always said,“Dear,keep walking in the sunshine!” No matter how terrible my day started,I always felt sunny walking home from Gretas houseeven beneath the winter starlight.I arrived at Gretas house today just after sunset.An ambulance had stopped a few feet from her door.When I ran into the old house,Greta recognized me

sell Moores productCanCandy.As CanCandys success grows,so does Moores credibility as a young entrepreneur.Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created,and shes also positive about what the future
