題目列表(包括答案和解析)
LONDON —A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake (假冒的)bomb detectors (探測器) to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn’t cared about potentially deadly consequences.
It is believed that James McCormick got about $77. 8 million from the sales of his detectors — which were based on a kind of golf ball finder — to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia.
McCormick, 57,was convicted (判罪) of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.
“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people,’’ Judge Richard Hone told McCormick. “You have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt.”
The detectors, sold for up to $ 42,000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they “lacked any grounding in science” and were of no use.
McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya,the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.
“I never had any bad results from customers,” he said.
39. Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?
A. He sold bombs. B. He caused death of people.
C. He made detectors. D. He cheated in business.
40. According to the judge, what McCormick had done ________ .
A. increased the cost of safeguarding
B. lowered people’s guard against danger
C. changed people’s idea of social security
D. caused innocent people to commit crimes
41. Which of the following is true of the detectors?
A. They have not been sold to Africa.
B. They have caused many serious problems.
C. They can find dangerous objects in water.
D. They don't function on the basis of science.
42. It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick _________ .
A. sold the equipment at a low price
B. was well-known in most countries
C. did not think he had committed the crime
D. had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the text
【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文,題材是新聞報道。本文報道了一條賣假冒炸彈探測器的商人被判10年徒刑的新聞。
段落 | 關鍵詞、句 | 大意推測 |
第一部分(Para. 1-3) | McCormick, 57,was convicted of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London | 新聞案件的簡介:57歲的McCormick上月被起訴詐騙并于周三在倫敦的Old Bailey court法庭被判刑。 |
第二部分(Para. 4) | cheating conduct, promoted a false sense of security, contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people | 法官宣判:罪犯的欺騙行為增強了人們虛假的安全感并促使導致給無辜百姓帶來死亡和傷害。 |
第三部分(Para. 5-7) | But in fact they “lacked any grounding in science” and were of no use, sold…to… , never had any bad results | 案件細節及當事人的反訴:假冒炸彈探測器被銷往世界各地,但它根本沒有科學依據,也毫無用處。罪犯狡辯假冒產品沒有給用戶帶來任何不良后果。 |
【解析】
39. D。細節理解題。難度:中等。問題是“為什么McCormick被判刑入獄”。根據問題中的關鍵詞sentenced to prison定位原文第一段。第一段說到McCormick是一位商人,生產了假冒的炸彈探測器,這是一種商業欺騙。選項D和其對應,為正確答案。
40. B。細節理解題。難度:難。問題是“根據法官的說法,McCormick的所為導致了什么樣的結果”。根據問題中的關鍵詞according to the judge定位第四段的第一句:your cheating conduct … promoted a false sense of security and … contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people(你的欺騙行為提高了人們虛假的安全感并助推給無辜百姓帶來死亡和傷害)。由此可見,McCormick的行為讓人們有了安全感,但這種安全并不真實。B “降低了人們防范危險的安全意識”符合此意,為正確答案。
41. D。判斷題。難度:難。問題是“下面哪種說法對探測儀來說是正確的”。
解題思路:根據問題中的關鍵詞detectors,把四個選項具體對應到原文中一處。A對應文章倒數第二段的最后一句he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya,the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand。該句中的Kenya是非洲的肯尼亞,否定了A的說法。B對應第一段第一句“the man hadn’t cared about potentially deadly consequences”,法官只說罪犯沒有關注潛在的致命后果,而不是已經導致嚴重的問題。C對應第五段的第一句話“were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air”提示,探測儀的功能只是據說,而不一定真的具備找到水中危險物品的功能。選項D定位第五段的最后一句“in fact they ‘lacked any grounding in science’ and were of no use可知,這種探測儀沒有科學根據,也毫無用途,和D“沒有科學根據的工作原理”相吻合,故最佳答案是D。
42. D。推理判斷題。難度:中等。
解題思路:返回原文,將選項與原文一一進行比較。
本題主要考查第四段和第七段。A“以低價銷售設備”與原文第四段第一句不符,因為該句提到法官指控McCormick通過賣一些無用的設備來巨額利潤。B“在大多數國家很有名”與文中提到的區區幾個國家和地區Iraq,Belgium,Saudi Arabia,Kenya,Hong Kong,Egypt和Thailand購買他的探測儀不符。C“認為他沒有犯罪”和第七段對應,其中他所說的“I never had any bad results from customers”和C符合,C是正確答案。D“他沒有賺取文中提到的那么大利潤”在原文沒有語言根據。
閱讀下面的文字,完成下列各題。
梵 高
張 煒
我們終于談到梵高了,神圣的梵高。在當代,他已經是不同藝術領域中的崇拜人物。他的作品在商人那兒已經化為金子,或者是遠比金子還要昂貴十倍的珍奇。但是像他那樣的心靈不僅用金錢無法溝通,就是用一般的藝術和精神也無法接近。他會在任何時候任何地點,拒絕那些流行的藝術熱望者、大知音和中產階級的高雅情調。因為他只是最平凡的人群中的一個靈魂,一個底層的感受者和傳達者,一個不屈服者和抗爭者,一個實踐善良和使用決心的人。他是貧民的兒子,是他們痛苦而尖銳的眼睛。在這樣的一雙眼睛面前,我們往往只有在無可奈何的沉默中壓住自己心底的驚嘆才行。他的境界是高不可攀的,因為那是底層藝術家所守護的最后一道防線,也是權利。這其實也是人的防線與權利。梵高可以讓我們明白,當一個人面對無情的外部世界時,頑強的精神會怎樣迸濺出火花,直至燃燒為熊熊烈焰。
我走在慕尼黑、曼哈頓、巴黎等最著名的藝術博物館里,在星光燦爛之中,在無法窮盡的藝術、不同時代不同流派的大薈萃面前,常常有一種無可逃匿的眩暈感。在跨越時空而來的多角度多層次、頻繁急促和陡然有力的各種撞擊之下,那根本來敏感的神經已經麻木疲萎。可是,幾乎是無一例外,只要一走近梵高,一走近他的展出單元,立刻就會感到一片輝煌之光撲面而來。就這樣,最昂揚的音樂陡然奏響。世界馬上改變了,雙眼睜大了,一切又重新開始了。
這是怎樣神秘的力量,這力量又從何而來?
當然,一切只能源于他的這個生命。他的生命仍然在持續不斷地發散----首先是從源頭,從他執筆之時,從那一刻的怦怦心跳開始震動我們,使我們至今不能安寧。他眼中的一切原來與我們有巨大區別,就是這區別讓我們雙眼大睜、心上一凜。這區別當然是來自他的目光,它有強大的剝落和穿鑿的力量:世界上的所有事物都被我們的眼睛蒙上了一層庸常的布幔,但這布幔在梵高那兒馬上被刺破,或被抽揭一空。世界裸露了,本真顯現了,所以他讓我們看到的就是強烈的光,是逼人的顏色,是疾旋與燃燒,是轟響和炸裂,是呼叫和奔突......我們每個人本來都擁有這種直視的能力,不幸的是后來的生活給予我們每個人無盡的磨損,我們喪失了這種能力,而只有神奇的梵高保留了。
梵高做過教師、畫店營業員、傳教士、書店店員、畫家。這些職業是那么不同,可是在梵高那兒并沒有人們想像的那么大的差異。因為他以同樣的心情去做,同樣用力,同樣真實。他賦予任何工作的,都僅僅是一份生命的虔誠。也正是由于這種對于工作的非同常人的理解,他差不多把每一樣工作都給做“砸了”。最后是作畫----他現在被公認為最偉大的畫家之一,可是當時卻被看成是最不成功的畫家,幾乎沒有賣出過一幅作品。他沒有一般專業人士看好的技法,簡直沒有受到什么正規的、更不要說是深入獨到的專業訓練了。他的畫被看成可笑的涂抹,形式上一塌糊涂。那些直接而強悍的筆觸、生猛可怖的畫面,能夠毫不費力地逼退那些藝術沙龍的寵兒。其實比起梵高而言,許多人等于生活在溫室中,他們沒有經歷真實的風雨陽光,當然也沒有接受過催逼,沒有傾聽過號叫,沒有接受過起碼的人生打擊。他們怎么具有理解梵高的能力呢?
真實的生活,底層的生活,有時候、許多時候都是刺目的。但是在漫長的人生旅途中,生活的真實面目還是要顯現----最后總是要顯現。這是一個頑強的規律。每到這個時刻,人們也就開始理解了梵高,只不過稍微晚了些。
梵高的藝術,像許多真正的藝術一樣,是直到最后才被接受下來的。
他保留下了大量書信。人們閱讀這些書信時,才知道他是多么熱情、對生活多么摯愛的人。人們讀得淚眼汪汪。其實他的畫作已經再好不過地表達了這種熱烈。他的巨大的慈愛并不需要直接說出,他的柔情也并不需要,因為他全部都畫出來了。他正是為這種愛,而不是為這種藝術,交出了自己全部的生命。
——《遠逝的風景》
文章指出梵高的“心靈不僅用金錢無法溝通,就是用一般的藝術和精神也無法接近”,為什么?盡量用文中的語言作答,不超過14個字。
文章第三自然段:“這是怎樣神秘的力量”中“這”所指代的具體內容是什么?
畫線的句子問:“這力量又從何而來?”文中除從總的方面回答:“源于他的這個生命”以外,還說了兩個具體的答案,請用自己的話予以歸納。
下列對文章的理解有誤的兩項是:( )
A.梵高的作品現在已經成為商人們以高價競相購買的收藏品,而且成了商人們心中的無價之寶。
B.梵高讓我們明白了頑強的精神可以使人在面對無情的外部世界時迸濺出火花,以至成為熊熊燃燒的烈焰
C.由于在慕尼黑等地的最著名的藝術博物館里,藝術家眾多,不同時代的藝術流派紛至沓來,使人常常有一種無可逃匿的眩暈感,故爾使作者對他們的作品產生了反感。
D.梵高現在已被公認為最偉大的畫家之一,但在梵高的一生中做過教師、畫店營業員、傳教士、書店店員、畫家,均未達到成功的目的,雖然他如同做畫那樣以同樣的心情去做,同樣用力,同樣真實。
E.梵高的畫以逼人的顏色,強烈的光,強悍的筆觸,生猛可怖的畫面,裸露、顯現了世界的真實面目,逼退了當時藝術沙龍中的寵兒,因而遭到當時人們的否定。
“Grandma, Grandma, tell us a story ! ”Four darling children sat by my feet, looking up at me expectantly. Suddenly, we were interrupted clapping.“Terrific, ” the director said, stepping up the stage from the aisle(過道).“Except, could you kids face the audience a bit more? ”
The kids shifted to face the empty seats, which would be filled in a few days for the church play.“Perfect,” the director said. “Now, Grandma, read to your grandchildren.” A pang of sadness hit me. If' only I could read to my real grandchild!
I had a granddaughter, but I'd never met her. Sixteen years earlier my son was involved in a relationship that ended badly. But out of' it came a blessing: a baby girl named Lena. I hoped to be a grandmother to her-but shortly after the birth, the mother moved without any address left. Over the years, I asked around town to try and find my son’s ex-wife (前妻),but it seemed that she didn’t want to be found.
I'd just joined this new church a week earlier and was at once offered the part of Grandma in the play. At least now I could pretend to be a grandma. The rehearsals went well, and finally the day of' the show arrived. The performance was great. “You all looked so natural up there, ”one of' my friends said.
Afterward, we went to the church basement for refreshments (茶點).I walked over to one of the girls in the play. Rehearsals had been such a whirlwind (一片忙亂) that we never really got to talk. “How's my granddaughter? ” I joked.
“Fine !” she answered. Just then, someone else walked up and asked the girl her name.
I wasn't sure I heard the girl's answer correctly. But it made me ask her another question.“What's your mother's name? ”
She told me, I was still in shock.“And what's your father's name? ”I asked. She told me.It was my son.
She'd only started going to that church a week before I did. Since that day of 'the play, we've stayed close. Not long ago, she even made me a great grandma.
