For eighteen years, I felt that Kyle was my enemy. In fact, I found it ridiculous that people thought older brothers looked out for their sisters, protected them and fought off their sisters bullies (恃强凌弱者). Huh? My brother was the bully.When we were little, his fights with others caused my black eye, cuts in my lips and even a nosebleed or two. I often wished I were an only child!Time flew. We ended up attending colleges two thousand miles apart, yet, strangely, thats when we began municating. Through email, we kept in constant touch. Mostly I plained about serious homesickness, impossible roommates, difficult classes, and . dating. I felt I lost myself. At a particularly low time, I cried to Kyle about my injured confidence, my broken heart, and the particular jerk (蠢人) who broke it.And thats when the package arrived.“Whats this？” I thought as I tore it. The box revealed a sweatshirt. “Phi Delta Theta? Thats Kyles frat (兄弟会)” Kyle was the president of the frat house. Why would he send this? I put it aside and dug deeper. A pile of letters. And they were all addressed to me. I opened the one on top.“Katrina，” it said, “your brother showed me your picture and I think youre awesome and beautiful.” I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, sure.” I opened another letter. And another. Eighteen in all.Each one was from a different guy. They plimented (恭维) me. They invited me on dates. And they tried to convince me to make a trip out to Knox College and meet them.I loved it. I didnt care about the motives. And mostly, I loved the idea that my big brother had pulled it off. I picked up the phone.“Kyle, the box came and I cant believe what you did.” But Kyle wasnt accepting pliments. “Oh，” he said, “I was just tired of reading your oversensitive emails.”Big brothers, I decided, really did protect their sisters. And mine fought off the_biggest_bully Id ever met. Now I return to my true self, full of confidence.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者主要讲述了哥哥Kyle对自己的保护使她改变了对哥哥的看法的故事。4Why did the author use to call Kyle her enemy?AHe had many fights with her.BHe couldnt fight off her bullies.CHe looked after and protected her.DHis fights caused her to suffer a lot.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第二段可知，小时候哥哥Kyle经常与别人打架，使得作者也跟着受罪。故选D项。5Why did the frat guys write to the author?AThey had mercy on her.BThey tried to cheer her up.CThey couldnt help dating her.DThey were crazy about her beauty.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第七段和第八段中的“I loved it.

Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.The dimmed lights before taking off from the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one thats pletely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide，” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 minutes to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” time since you havent been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯) all flight.Not only does dimming lights add valuable time to the escape process, it also reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction，” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, which might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know its for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your takeoff into the sky.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了飞行员在飞机起飞和降落之前把机舱内的灯光调暗的原因。8The lights are turned down before takeoff to help passengers _.Atake a short breakBescape in time from an emergencyCcreate a warm atmosphereDadapt their eyes to the bright environment解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，在飞机起飞和降落前把(机舱内的)灯光调暗是一种飞行预防措施，用于帮助乘客在紧急逃生时使眼睛更快速地适应周围的环境。故本题选B。9What is one of the roles of shortening “dark adaptation” time?ASlowing down the landing.BAdjusting the plane lights.CKeeping passengers calm.DHelping the crew judge outside risks.解析：选D细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, which might affect an escape”可知，它也使乘务员更容易评估任何外部风险，如火灾或碎片，这些可能会影响逃生。故选D项。10What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?ADimming lights. BThe escape process.CReducing tension. DThe passage.解析：选A代词指代题。在最后一段第一句中，dimming lights为句子的主语；又因it用于指代上文出现过的同一个事物，故此处“It”指代前一句中的“dimming lights”，故选A。11What is the text mainly about?AA tip of air travel.BAn emergency event on a plane.CA warning message on a plane.DAn explanation of an airline safety measure.解析：选D主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章介绍了飞行员在飞机起飞和降落前会把机舱内的灯光调暗的原因；再根据文章第二段最后一句中的“dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers”可知，文章主要介绍了一项航空安全措施，并非“一条航空旅行的建议”“飞机上的一个紧急事件”或“飞机上的一则警告信息”。故本题选D。D(2019陕西质检一)Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newers may be anxious because they dont speak the language. Neither do they know the customs nor understand the peoples behavior in daily life.Quite often the visitor finds that “yes” may not always means “yes”， that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners may be unsure as to when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain the feelings of puzzlement and confusion.Language problems do not account for all the setback that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to reject everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了文化冲击现象发生的原因、现象、结果等。12What do people feel when they are abruptly in a new culture?AExcited. BDelighted.CUpset. DHopeless.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Newers may be anxious because they dont speak the language. Neither do they know the customs nor understand the peoples behavior in daily life”可知，由于语言不通、不了解当地的风俗、不理解当地人日常生活中的行为习惯，新来者会感到焦虑、担心。C项意为“心烦意乱的”，符合语境，故C项正确。13We can infer from the second paragraph that _.Aits impossible to get used to a new cultureBpeople feel confused due to culture shockCforeigners often dont mean what native people say Dmost foreigners are usually quite humorous解析：选B推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句可以判断，由于文化冲击，人们常常会感到困惑，故B项正确。14The biggest barrier people often meet with in a new country is _.Athe languageBthe transportationCthe environment Dthe puzzlement解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“Newers may be anxious because they dont speak the language”并结合常识可知，在别的国家，人们遇到的最大问题就是语言不通。故A项正确。15A few immigrants say no to everything of the new country because _.Athey miss their native culture seriouslyBthey know nothing about the cultureCthey cant enter the mainstream societyDthey really regret having immigrated解析：选B推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Newers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted . praises of the positive aspects of their own culture”可以判断，由于对新文化一无所知，新来的一些移民常常会拒绝新的国家中的一切，故B项正确。.阅读七选五(2019济南模拟)Smartphones store a lot of personal data.
