Privately he doubted whether this visit would do much towards helping with his nerve problem.I know how it will be, his sister had said, People there are nice. I shall just give you letters of introduction to all the people I know there. Framton wondered whether Mrs. Sappleton, the lady to whom he was presenting one of the letters of introduction came into the nice division.Do you know many of the people round here? asked the niece.Hardly a soul, said Framton.Then you know practically nothing about my aunt. Her great tragedy（悲剧） happened just three years ago, said the child, “Out through that window, her husband and her two young brothers went off for their days shooting. They never came back. Poor aunt always thinks that they will e back someday. She has often told me about Ronnie, her youngest brother, singing Bertie, why do you bound?At this time, Mrs. Sappleton came in, greeting, “I hope you dont mind the open window. She talked on cheerfully about the shooting. To Framton it was all purely horrible. He made a desperate but only partially successful effort to turn the talk on to a less scary topic. The doctors agree in ordering me plete rest, and an absence of mental excitement. he announced, On the matter of diet they are not so much in agreement, he continued.No? said Mrs. Sappleton, in a voice which only replaced a yawn at the last moment. Here they are at last! she suddenly cried. In the deepening dusk out came three figures with a tired brown spaniel(猎犬). And then a young voice rang out of the dusk, I said, Bertie, why do you bound?Framton grabbed wildly at his stick and hat, without a word of goodbye, and rushed out of sight.“What is up? Mrs. Sappleton was confused.I expect it was the spaniel, said the niece calmly, He told me that he was once hunted into a tomb by a pack of dogs, and had to spend the night in a newly dug tomb with the creatures barking just above him. Enough to make anyone lose their nerve.Romance at short notice was her specialty.1.

DThey did their best to learn how to use the machines.36B原文中并未说对工人剥削的增加，故选项B为正确答案。37C倒置的一个主要目的就是使句子间连接紧密，因此单词this指上一句的内容。38D在条件句中，this 指上文的内容：货物批量生产。39D可从第二段第四句知道D项为正确答案。40A可根据第二段第六句及第八句判断A项为正确答案。【广东省xx届高三考前冲刺卷(三)】D“If there is one thing Im sure about，it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturdays or Sundays.But for most people reading a newspaper has bee a habit passed down from generation to generation.”The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our livesthe big political stories，the coverage of the wars，earthquakes and other disasters，will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research，though.Its already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering.In the future，I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we doas we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.Its quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact, Im pretty sure that how it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu，making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to readsports and international news，etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about petition among the different media.They actually feed_off each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers，but that hasnt happened.What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air.And as for the Internet，its never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.41What is the best title for the passage?AThe Best Way to Get NewsBThe Changes of MediaCMake Your Own NewspaperDThe Future of Newspapers42In the writers opinion，in the future，_.Amore big political affairs，wars and disasters will make newsBnewspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longerCnewspapers will cover more scientific researchDmore and more people will watch TV43What will probably be in the newspaper made by yourself?ASports and international news.BA menu of important news.CThe most important news.DWhat you are interested in.44From the passage，we can infer_.Anewspapers will win the petition among the different mediaBnewspapers will stay with us together with other mediaCtelevision will take the place of newspapersDthe writer believes some media will die out45The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph probably means_.Adepend on Bpete withCfight with Dkill off 41D标题归纳题。根据文章第一句“100年后人们仍要读报”，到后面文章讲到报纸跟人们生活的关系、报纸的形式和内容，可归纳出此题的答案为D项。42C细节理解题。根据文章第二段第三句可知此题答案为C项。43D推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后一句可推知此题答案为D项。44B推理判断题。根据文章第一段第三句及全文内容可推知此题答案为B项。45A词义猜测题。作者上一句说人们错误地认为各种不同的媒体相互竞争，以及feed off 所在句中的actually一词，再结合所给的4个选项，可知A项最佳。阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。As we drove along, my spirits went up again, and I turned, with pleasure, to the thought of the new life which I was entering. But though it was not far past the middle of September, the heavy clouds and strong north-easterly wind bined to make the day extremely cold; and the journey seemed a very long one, so that it was nearly one oclock before we reached the place of our destination. Yet when we entered the gateway, my heart failed me, and I wished it were a mile or two farther off. For the first time in my life I must stand alone: there was no retreating now. I must enter that house, and introduce myself among its strange people. But how was it to be done? True, I was near nineteen; but, thanks to the protecting care of my mother and sister, I well knew that many a girl of fifteen, or under, was gifted with a more womanly address, and greater ease and self-possession, than I was. Yet, anyway. I would do very well, after all; and the children, of course, I should soon be at ease with them.Be calm, be calm, whatever happens, I said within myself; and truly I was so fully occupied in steadying my nerves and keeping down the rebellious beat of my heart that when I was admitted into the hall and into the presence of Mrs. Bloomfield, I almost forgot to answer her polite greeting; and it afterwards struck me that the little I did say was spoken in the tone of one half-dead or half-asleep.With due politeness, however, she showed me my bedroom, and left me there to take a little refreshment for a little while and led me into the dining-room. Some beefsteaks and potatoes were set before me; and while I dined upon these, she sat opposite, watching me (as I thought) and trying to keep something like a conversation consisting chiefly of monplace remarks. In fact, my attention was almost wholly absorbed in my dinner: not from appetite, but from the toughness of the beefsteaks, and the numbness of my hands.“I have had so little time to attend to their education myself, but I think they are clever children, and very willing to learn, especially the little boy; he is, I think, the flower of the flock a generous, noble-spirited boy, one to be led, but not driven, and remarkable for always speaking the truth.” “His sister Mary Ann will require watching,” continued she, “but she is a very good girl on the whole, though I wish her to be kept out of the nursery as much as possible, as she is now almost six years old, and might acquire bad habits from the nurses. I have ordered her bed to be placed in your room, and if you will be so kind as to look after her washing and dressing, and take charge of her clothes, she needs to have nothing further to do with the nursery maid.”I replied I was quite willing to do so; and at that moment the children entered the room. Tom Bloomfield was a well-grown boy of seven. Mary was a tall girl, for her age of six, somewhat dark like her mother. The second sister was Fanny, a very pretty little girl, looking little younger than Mary. The remaining one was Harriet, a little broad, fat, merry, playful thing of scarcely two, whom I had more desire for than all the rest but with her I had nothing to do.1. Which of the following statements best describes how the writer felt when she entered Mrs. Bloomfields home?A. She was nervous, dissatisfied with her manners but still confident.B. She was cold, hungry but eager to see all the children in the family.C. She was frightened, nervous and regretful about her decision.D. She was calm, confident and very happy with all the family.2.

The writer had some difficulty with her lunch because of the tough food and the cold.B. The delicious food took the writers attention away from Mrs. Bloomfields words.C. All the children were well educated before the writer came to the family.D. All the children in the family were looked after by Mrs Bloomfield herself.4. From the passage, we can infer that _.A.
