举一反三
72 And one of the biggest problems is “crazy” fans who live their idols (偶像) too much. Andy Lau, the Hong Kang superstar, experienced that last year. A fan was so crazy about Andy that she persuaded her parents to spend all their money and travel to Hong Kang to meet him. Andy is a nice man so he met the girl and talked with her for a few minutes.
That should have been the end of the story, but it wasn’t! 73 In despair (绝望), the father jumped into the sea and said it was because Andy Lau had made him poor and had made his daughter a “crazy” fan. It’s a very sad story and it shows what can happen when ordinary people become crazy pop fans.
We like famous persons, and we enjoy listening to them. 74 And some people think that, since they love the pop star, the pop star should love then back.. That’s crazy! 75 They have their own families and friends. Their job is to entertain us, not to love us. So, don’t be a “crazy” fan, be a good fan, and just appreciate the joy, the happiness and the excitement that your favorite pop star bring you.
A.Well, clearly, there are lots of problems. |
B.Sometimes we think we know them as well as we know our closest friends. |
C.It seems like the coolest job in the world. |
D.The family had spent all their money to meet Andy and they had no money to return home. |
F. Pop stars have their own personal lives.
G. In fact, there is no difficulty in becoming a pop star.
In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the city’s West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition(拆除), pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building, The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and “to treasure what was there – the walls, the rust, the light,” Yocum said.” Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. It’s like an art installation(装置) in there-a slow-motion show.”
Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer(缓冲) zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond.
Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.
小题1: According to the passage, it is for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own.
A.easy | B.unnecessary | C.unrealistic | D.common |
A.it was a bargain to him | B.it was still in good condition |
C.it was located in the city center | D.it looked attractive from the outside |
A.pulled rubbish out through the roof | B.removed the skylights from the bathroom |
C.presented a slow–motion show in an art gallery | |
D.built a kitchen at the back part of the old building |
A.benefited a lot from pulling down the roof | B.turned more old buildings into art galleries |
C.got inspiration from decorating their old building | |
D.paid more attention to the outside of the gallery |
A.people can learn a lot from their failures |
B.it is worthwhile to spend money on an old building |
C.people should not judge things by their appearance |
D.creative people can make the best of what they have |

I used to believe in the American dream that meant a job, credit, success.I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us separately chasing the same thing.
One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell apart.I found myself homeless and alone.I had my truck and $56.I searched the countryside for some place I could rent for the cheapest possible amount.I came upon a deserted cottage in a small remote valley.I hadn"t been alone for 25 years.I was scared, but I hoped the hard work would distract and heal me.
I found the owner and rented the place for $50 a month.The locals knew nothing about me.But slowly they started teaching me the art of being a neighbor.They dropped off blankets, tools and canned deer meat and began sticking around to chat.They would ask if I wanted to meet cousin Albie or go fishing.They started to teach me a belief in a different American dream, not the one of individual achievement but of neighborliness.Men would stop by with wild berries, ice cream, truck parts to see if I was up for courting.I wasn"t, but they were civil anyway.The women on that mountain worked harder than any I"d ever met.They taught me how to store food in the stream and keep it cold and safe.I learned to keep enough for an extra plate for company.
What I had believed in, all those things I thought were necessary for a civilized life, were non-existent in this place.Up on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my relationships with my neighbors.
After four years in that valley, I moved back into town.I saw a lot of people were having a really hard time, losing their jobs and homes.With the help of a real estate broker (房地产经纪人) I chatted up at the grocery store, I managed to rent a big enough house to take in a handful of people.It"s four of us now, but over time I"ve had nine come in and move on to other places from here.We"d all be in shelters if we hadn"t banded together.
The American dream I believe in now is a shared one.It"s not so much about what I can get for myself; it"s about how we can all get by together.
56.Before a series of unhappy events happened, the writer ____.
A.had a well-paid job
B.worked hard for his American dream
C.worked hard and liked to share
D.felt hopeless about his American dream
57.What does the underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refer to?
A.The house. B.The job.
C.The company. D.The American dream.
58.What does the underlined sentence "I learned to..." in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A.The writer learned to run a company.
B.The writer learned to share with others.
C.The writer learned to keep enough plates.
D.The writer learned to save money for his company.
59.Why did the writer rent a big house?
A.To make some money. B.To show off his wealth.
C.To share with those people in need. D.To make friends with his neighbors.
60.The writer mainly tells us about ____.
A.his unhappy experiences B.the friendly people in the valley
C.the change of his living conditions D.his new idea of the American dream
Cyberspace,data superhighway,multimedia,for those who have seen the future,and the linking of computers,televisions and telephones will change our lives for ever.Yet for all the talks of a forthcoming technological utopia,little attention has been given to the implications of these developments for the poor.As for all the new high technology,the West concerns itself with the “how”,while the question of “for whom” is put aside once again.
Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communication revolution has affected the world economy.Information technology allows the extension of trade across geographical and industrial boundaries,and transnational corporations take full advantage of it.Terms of trade and exchange,interest rates and money movements are more important than the production of goods.The electronic economy made by information technology allows the haves to increase their control on global markets — with a destructive impact on the havenots.
For them the result is unstable.Developing countries which rely on the production of a small range of goods for export are made to feel like small parts in the international economic machine.As “futures” are traded on computer screens,developing countries simply have less and less control of their destinies.
So what are the options of regaining control?One alternative for developing countries is to buy in the latest computers and telecommunications.Yet this leads to long-term dependency and perhaps permanent constraints on developing countries’ economies.
Communication technology is generally exported from the US,Europe or Japan;the patents,skills and ability remain in the hands of a few industrialized countries.It is also expensive,therefore imported products and services must be bought on credit usually provided by the very countries whose companies stand to gain.
1. From the passage we know that the development of high technology is in the interests of________.
A.the rich countries B.scientific development
C.the local elites D.the world economy
2.It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A.international trade should be expanded
B.the interests of the poor countries have not been given enough consideration
C.the exports of the poor countries should be increased
D.communication technology in developing countries should be modernized
3.Why does the author say that the electronic economy may have a destructive impact on developing countries?
A.Because it enables the developed countries to control the international market.
B.Because it destroys the economic balance of the poor countries.
C.Because it violates the national boundaries of the poor countries.
D.Because it inhibits the industrial growth of developing countries.
4.The development of modern communication technology in developing countries may________.
A.hinder their industrial production
B.cause them to lose control of their trade
C.force them to reduce their share of exports
D.cost them their economic independence
5.The author’s attitude towards the communication revolution is________.
A.positive B.critical
C.indifferent D.tolerant
