A

Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world, yet when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed （展现） herself as she did nowhere else． After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate（巨头）Aristotie Onassis, Jacqueline’s close friend and former White House social secretary Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career in publishing．After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it．Perhaps she hoped to find some ideas about how to live her own life．She became not less but more interested in reading．For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publisher’s editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing a late-life career longer than her two marriages combined．During her time in publishing, she was responsible for managing and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books. Among the first books were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes. She also succeeded in persuading TV hosts Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell to transform their popular television conversation into a book, The Power of Myth. The book went on to become an international best-seller．She dealt ,too, with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography，Moonwalk．

Jacqueline may have been hired for her name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her worth. Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing and

to Jacqueline herself．In the books she selected for publication, she built on a lifetime of spending time by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind．Her books are the autobiography she never wrote. Her role as First lady, in the end, was overshadowed by her performance as an editor．However, few knew that she had achieved so much．41．We can learn from the passage that Jacqueline ____________.

Pacing and Pausing

Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve's new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn't hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pacing and pausing.

Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there's no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I'm finished or fail to take your turn when I'm finished. That's what was happening with Betty and Sara.

It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.

The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping. And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in--and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.

That's why slight differences in conversational style--tiny little things like microseconds of pause-can have a great effect on one's life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems---even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.

45. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?

A. Betty was talkative.

B. Betty was an interrupter.

C. Betty did not take her turn.

D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.

46. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?

A. Americans.

B. The British.

C. Israelis.

D. The Finns.

47. We can learn from the passage that ___________.

A. one should receive training to build up one's confidence

B. one's inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimes

C. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the US

D. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacing

48. The underlined word "assertiveness" in the last paragraph probably means __

A. being willing to speak one's mind

B. being able to increase one's power

C. being ready to make one's own judgment

D. being quick to express one's ideas confidently

C

Runners in a relay race pass a stick in one direction. However, merchants passed silk, gold, fruit, and glass along the Silk Road in more than one direction. They earned their living by traveling the famous Silk Road.

The Silk Road was not a simple trading network. It passed through thousands of cities and towns. It started from eastern China, across Central Asia and the Middle East, and ended in the Mediterranean Sea. It was used from about 200 B C to about 1300 A D., when sea travel offered new routes. It was sometimes called the world’s longest highway.

However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe.

The Silk Road got its name from its most prized product. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or buy goods. But the traders carried more than just silk. Gold, silver, and glass from Europe were much found in the Middle East and Asia. Horses traded from other areas changed farming practices in China. Indian merchants traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese merchants traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft (嫁接) different trees together to make new kinds of fruit.

They passed this science on to others, including the Romans. The

Romans used grafting to grow the apple. Trading along the Silk Road led to world-wide business 2,000 years before the World Wide Web.

The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy, and religion.

49. It’s probable that traders along the Silk Road needed ________.

A. to deal with a lot of difficulties

B. to know the making of products

C. to receive certain special training

D. to remember the entire trade route

50. The Silk Road became less important because ________.

A. it was made up of different routes

B. silk trading became less popular

C. people needed fewer foreign goods

D. sea travel provided easier routes

51. New technologies could travel along the Silk Road because people ________.

A. shared each other’s beliefs

B. learned from one another

C. traded goods along the route

D. earned their living by traveling

52. What is the best title for the passage?

A. The Silk Road: East Meets West

B. The Silk Road: Past and Present

C. The Silk Road: Routes Full of Dangers

D. The Silk Road: Pathways for Learning

D

When we walk through the city, we all experience a kind of information overload but we pay attention only to those that are important to us. We don't stop, we keep our faces expressionless and eyes straight ahead, and in doing so, we are not just protecting ourselves but are avoiding overloading other people as well.

We make use of stereotypes as convenient ways to make quick judgments about situations and people around us. They may not always be accurate，and they can often be dangerously wrong, but they are used regularly.

The problem with the stereotypes is that they restrict experience. By using limited clues to provide us with a rapid opinion of other people or places we may choose to limit our communication. We may decide not to go to certain places because we believe they will not offer something we enjoy.

In the city, styles of dress are particularly important with regard to self-presentation. Different groups often use clearly identifiable styles of clothes so that they can be easily recognized. It is becoming

increasingly common for brand names to be placed on the outside of clothes, and this labeling makes it easy to send out information about fashion and price instantly, and lets others tell at a distance whether an individual has similar tastes and is a suitable person to associate with. In England, where social grouping or class continues to make social distinctions, clothes, hairstyles, people's pronunciation and the manner of speaking are all clues to our social group. Class distinctions tend to be relatively fixed, although in the city where greater variety is permitted, they are more likely to be secondary determining factors of friendship and association.

53. People walking in cities ignore the surroundings because _________. A．there is too much information to take in

B．everyone else is expressionless

C．they do not wish to talk to other people

D．the environment is already familiar to them

54. According to the passage, the main disadvantage of using stereotypes is that they ________.

A．can rarely be relied on

B．make us mentally lazy

C．may make us miss some pleasant experience

D．are likely to lead us into dangerous situations

55. From the passage we may conclude that ________.

A．stereotypes can help to understand people fully

B．dressing can send messages about individuals

C．people are becoming more interested in fashion

D．stereotypes can do more harm than good to people

56. It would appear that in England, a person's class ________.

A．is something that can be changed easily.

B．plays less of a role than it did in the past

C．is mainly determined by his pronunciation

D．might be less important in making friends in a city

E

The internet will open up new vistas (前景), create the global village—you can make new friends all around the world．That, at least, is what it promised us．The difficulty is that it did not take the human mind into account．The reality is that we cannot keep relationship more than a limited number of people. No matter how hard the internet tries to put you in communication, its best efforts will be defeated by your mind．

The problem is twofold．First, there is a limit on the number of people we can hold in mind and have a meaningful relationship with．That number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. Second, the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest in them．We invest a lot in a small number of peop le and then distribute what’s left

among as many others as we can．The problem is that if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline until eventually it dies into “someone I once knew”．

This is not, of course, to say tha t the internet doesn’t serve a socially valuable function．Of course it does．But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have more to the other side of the world．

In one sense, that’s a good thing．But it also has a disadvantage．If you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see them, then certainly you aren’t using your time to make new friends where you now live．And I suspect that probably isn’t the best use of your time．Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other, face to face. The internet will slow down the rate with which relatio nships end, but it won’t stop that happening eventually．57．What is stressed in the first paragraph?

A．The present situation of the internet．

B．The socially valuable function of the internet．

C．The difficulty in communication on the internet．

D．The role of the human mind in the internet communication．58．The underlined word “engagement” in the second paragraph probably

means “____”．

A．connection B．appointment C．interview D．agreement

59．According to the passenger, the author holds the view that_________．

A. the internet greatly increases the size of social circles

B. the internet determines the quality of social relationships

C. the internet fails to play so valuable a role in communication as

it promised

D. the internet communication is no less effective than the

face-to-face talk in many cases

60．What is the author’s attitude towards the use of the internet to strengthen relationships?

A．He doubts it．B．He is hopeful of it．

C．He approves of it．D．He is uncertain about it．

高考英语阅读理解专题训练：4阅读理解细节理解四附参考答案

阅读理解-细节理解四 1、 A new commodity brings about a highly profitable,fast-growing industry,urging antitrust(反垄断)regulators to step in to check those who control its flow. A century ago ,the resource in question was oil. Now similar concerns ares being raised by the giants(巨头)that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google,Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable. Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up. But size alone is not a crime,The giants' success has benefited consumers. Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery, Far from charging consumers high prices, many of these services are free (users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data). And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves, too. But there is cause for concern. The internet has made data abundant, all-present and far more valuable, changing the nature of data and competition. Google initially used the data collected from users to target advertising better. But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services: translation and visual recognition, to be sold to other companies. Internet companies’ control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a “God’s eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond. This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themselves: in time, one of them would become great again. A rethink is required—and as a new approach starts to become apparent, two ideas stand out. The first is that antitrust authorities need to move form the industrial age into the 21st century. When considering a merger(兼并),for example, they have traditionally used size to determine when to step in. They now need to take into account the extent of firms' data assets(资产) when assessing the impact of deals. The purchase price could also be a signal that an established company is buying a new-borm threat. When

Parents don’t owe their children every minute of their day and every ounce of their energy.They don’t owe round-the-clock car service, singing lessons, tennis lessons, an expensive car when they reach sixteen, or a trip to Europe when they graduate. I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children a college education.If they can afford it, fine.But they need not feel guilty if they can’t.If the children really want to go, they’ll find a way.Here are plenty of loans and scholarships for the bright and eager who can’t afford to pay. After children marry, their parents do not owe them a house or money for the furniture.They do not have an obligation to baby-sit their gr andchildren when the parents were on vacation.If they want to do it, it must be considered a favour, not an obligation. In my opinion, parents do not owe their children an inheritance, no matter

高考英语专项练习-阅读理解第4节

第4节记叙文 题组训练一 1 Charles Dickens is probably the best-known and，to many people，the greatest English novelist of the 19th century.As a moralist，satirist，and social reformer，Dickens crafted complex plots and striking characters that capture the panorama of English society. Dickens was born in Portsmouth，on England’s southern coast.His father was a clerk in the British navy pay office—a respectable position，but with little social status.His paternal grandparents，a steward and a housekeeper possessed even less status，having been servants，and Dickens later concealed their background.Dickens’mother supposedly came from a more

respectable family.Yet two years before Dicken’s birth，his mother’s father was caught stealing and fled to Europe，never to return.The family’s increasing poverty forced Dickens out of school at age 12 to work in Warren’s Blacking Warehouse，a shoe-polish factory，where the other working boys mocked him as “the young gentleman”.His father was then imprisoned for debt.The humiliations(耻辱) of his father’s imprisonment and his labor in the blacking factory formed Dickens’ greatest wound and became his deepest secret.He could not confide them even to his wife，although they provide the unacknowledged foundation of his fiction. Soon after his father’s release from prison，Dickens got a better job as an errand boy in law offices.He taught himself shorthand to get an even better job later as a court stenographer and as a reporter in Parliament.At the same time，Dickens，who had a reporter’s eye for transcribing(转录) the life around him especially anything comic or odd，submitted short sketches(短篇作品) to obscure magazines. The first published sketch，A Dinner at Poplar Walk brought tears to Dickens’ eyes when he discovered it in the pages of The Monthly Magazine.From then on his sketches，which appeared under the pen name “Boz” in The E v ening Chronicle，earned him a modest reputation. Soon after Sketches by Boz appeared，a publishing firm approached Dickens to write a story in monthly installments，as a backdrop for a series of woodcuts by the then-famous artist Robert Seymour，who had originated the idea for the story.With characteristic confidence，Dickens successfully insisted that Seymour’s pictures illustrate his own story instead.After the first installment，Dickens wrote to the artist and asked him to correct a drawing which，Dickens felt，was not faithful enough to his prose.Seymour made the change，went into his backyard，and expressed his displeasure by committing suicide.Dickens and his publishers simply pressed on with a new artist.The comic novel，The Posthumous Papers of the Pick w ick Club，appeared serially in 1836 and 1837，and was first published in book form in 1837. The runaway success of The Pick w ick Papers，as it is generally known today，secured Dickens’ fame.There were Pickwick coats and Pickwick cigars，and the plump，spectacled hero，Samuel Pickwick，became a national figure. After Pick w ick，Dickens plunged into a bleaker world.In Oli v er T w ist，he traces an orphan’s progress from the workhouse to the criminal slums(贫民区) of London.Nicholas Nickleby，his next novel，combines the darkness of Oli v er T w ist with the sunlight of Pick w ick.The popularity of these novels consolidated Dickens as a nationally and internationally celebrated man of letters. 1.Dickens’ family background had the following effects on him EXCEPT that . A.he formed an odd personality

2023届高三英语晚自习限时训练 一、阅读理解 A There was ice on the road, and the doctor's car hit a tree and turned over three times. To his surprise, he was not hurt. He got out of the car and walked to the nearest house. He wanted to telephone the garage for help. The door was opened by one of his patients. " Oh, Doctor," she said, "I have only just telephoned you. You must have a very fast car. You have got here very quickly indeed. There has been a ver y bad accident on the road outside. I saw it through the window. I am sure the driver will need your help." 1. Which of the following was the cause of the accident? A．Careless driving B．A tree had fallen across the road. C．A slippery road. D．There was a thick fog. 2. The doctor went to the house because . A．he knew one of his patients lived there B．he had received a call to go there C．he wanted to use the telephone D．he was injured and could walk no further 3. Why did the woman patient telephone the doctor? A．She needed medical treatment. B．She believed somebody else needed a doctor. C．To ask how quickly the doctor could come. D．To ask whether the doctor was coming on his regular visit. B “Did you forget your name?” someone asked me at a networking e vent a few years ago after it took me almost a minute to say it. “No, I stutter (口吃),” I politely replied. This is what I have to face every day. So I wasn’t upset. I’ve stuttered since I was three years old. In my case, stuttering usually shows itself in terms of repetitions: “My name is S-S-S-S-Samuel.” Instead of being unhappy about the experience at the networking event, I felt proud that I’d brought up my stuttering. But I wasn’t always so forthcoming about it. When I was growing up, I hardly spoke. Whether it was at school or at work, I avoided most social situations out of embarrassment and fear of being laughed at. But things became different after I attended the National Stuttering Association meeting, the largest gathering of stutterers worldwide.
