    10．The"selfie"is not new； many people have always produced self-portraits （自画像）．Personally I didn't enjoy art at school，but I did remember that we were always drawing pictures of our faces．However，I think this shows just how old the self-portrait is．The only thing that has really changed is the technology which we use to create self-portraits．We have gone from pencil to the digital camera．The digital version has now become"selfie"（a word now so popular that it is named the Oxford English Dictionary Online's"Word of the Year"）．
    Traditionally，the best way to take a selfie was to stand in front of a mirror．This was fine though it did look a little silly as，no matter how hard you tried，you couldn't hide the camera．Of course，phones now have cameras on both the back and the front so you don't need a mirror to guide you．The drawback （缺点） to this more modern method is that you can usually see the photographer's arm in the photo．
    I don't really understand the attraction of the selfie．Taking a photo of yourself in the bathroom doesn't provide the best scenery （especially if you forget to put the toilet seat down，gentlemen）．At famous tourist attractions，it always saddens me to see people take selfies； travelling on your own is fine，but are you so mistrustful of strangers that you cannot ask a passer-by to take the photo for you？
    However，there have been a lot of arguments over the selfie．Recently，one New York tourist took a selfie with a man threatening to commit suicide （自杀） on the edge of a bridge behind her； and，even more recently，Barack Obama，along with David Cameron and the Danish prime minister，Thorning Schmidt，took a"group selfie at Nelson Mandela's funeral．

    28．Why is the word"selfie"named the Oxford English Dictionary Online's"Word of the Year"？D
    A．It can be written in pencil easily．
    B．It is very important in the dictionary．
    C．It means the development of technology．
    D．It is a new word used widely and popularly．
    29．Which of the following is the drawback to the traditional way of taking a selfie？B
    A．There are arms in the picture．
    B．The camera is always in the picture．
    C．The picture is often not very clear．
    D．The mirror can hardly be avoided．
    30．We can learn from the last paragraph that the selfieC．
    A．may lead to commit suicide
    B．may bring unlucky things to us
    C．is not suitable at some moments 
    D．is popular on the ledge of a bridge
    31．What's the author's attitude towards selfie？C
    A．Doubtful．
    B．Negative．
    C．Objective．
    D．Optimistic．

    分析 本文是一篇社会文化类阅读，属于说明文，主要讲述了自拍并不是新鲜事物，许多人一直都会有自画像，而我本人在学校不喜欢艺术，但我记得我们总是画我们的脸．本文以此展开，主要谈论了自拍一现象．

    解答 28．D．细节理解题．根据We have gone from pencil to the digital camera．The digital version has now become"selfie"（a word now so popular that it is named the Oxford English Dictionary Online's"Word of the Year"）．可知，这是一个新词被广泛和普遍使用，因此被收入牛津字典．故选D．
    29．B．细节理解题．根据This was fine though it did look a little silly as，no matter how hard you tried，you couldn't hide the camera．可知，传统方法的缺点是照片中会有相机．故选B．
    30．C．推理判断题．根据However，there have been a lot of arguments over the selfie．以及所举例可知，自拍在有些时候是不合适的．故选C．
    31．C．主旨大意题．阅读全文，根据文章内容可知，作者对自拍进行了客观的描述以及探讨，作者对于自拍的态度是客观的．故选C．

    点评 本文是一篇社会文化类阅读，题目涉及多道主旨大意题，细节理解题，推理判断题．做题时学生应仔细阅读原文，把握文章主要内容，联系文章上下文内容并结合所给选项含义，从中选出正确答案，一定要做到有理有据，切忌胡乱猜测．

    Dear Tom，
    I'm more than happier that you're interested in Chinese culture．Now let me tell you something about a Dragon Boat Festival．
    It's a traditional Chinese festival falling in the 5th day of the 5th month of the Chinese lunar calendar．It's widely believed that the festival held in memory the great poet Qu Yuan，who lived in ancient times．Disappointed with the government，he drowned him in the Miluo River．
    The festival is celebrated by boat racing，with the boats building in the shape of dragons．Competing teams row their boats forward to the drumbeat，race to reach the finishing end first．We also have the custom of eating zongzi，wrapped with bamboo leaf．It's very popularly among Chinese people．
    If you will want to know about other Chinese traditional festivals，just write to me．
    Yours，
    Li Hua．

    15．For many people，particularly immigrants，the American Dream is that talent and hard work can take youfrom log cabin to the White House．Tony Trivisonno did not rise as high as the White House，yet he managed tomake his own dream come true．
    He came from a farm in Italy．One evening I found him standing behind my garage．
    "I mow （割草） your lawn，"he said．It was hard to comprehend his broken English．
    I asked him his name．"Tony Trivisonno，"he replied．"I mow your lawn．"I told Tony that I couldn't afforda gardener．
    "I mow your lawn，"he said again，then walked away．Yes，these Depression days were difficult，but how could I refuse a person who had come to me for help？
    When I got home from work the next evening，the lawn had been mowed and the walks swept．I asked mywife what had happened．
    "A man had worked on the yard，"she answered．"I thought you had hired him．"
    I told her of my experience the night before．We thought it strange that Tony had not asked for pay．
    The next Friday，I saw Tony again，behind the garage．I praised him for the work he had done．
    "I mow your lawn，"he said．
    I managed to give him some kind of small weekly pay，and each day Tony cleaned up the yard and took care of any little tasks．My wife said he was very helpful whenever there were anything heavy to lift or things to fix．
    Summer passed into fall，and winds blew cold．"Mr．Craw，snow pretty soon，"Tony told me one evening．"When winter comes，you give me job clearing snow at the factory．"
    Well，how do you deal with such determination and hope？Of course，Tony got his job at the factory．
    One day I found Tony at our meeting place behind the garage．"I want to be apprentice （学徒）"he said．
    We had a pretty good apprentice school that trained workers．But I doubted whether Tony were able to read blueprints or do precision work．Still，how could I turn him down？
    Tony took a cut in pay to become an apprentice．Months later，I got a report that he had graduated as a skilled grinder （磨工）．My wife and I were delighted with what Tony had achieved．
    A year or two passed，and again I found Tony in his usual waiting place．"Mr．Craw，"he said，"I like to buy a house．"In the town，he had found a completely old house for sale．
    I called on a banker friend．"Do you ever loan money on character？"I asked．"No，"he said．
    "Now，wait a minute，"I replied．"Here is a hard-working man，a man of character，I can promise you that．He's got a good job．And he will pay your interest．"
       Unwillingly，the banker loaned Tony 2，000 and helped him buy the house．Tony was delighted．From the non，it was interesting to see that any abandoned odds and ends around our place were gathered and taken home by Tony．
       After about two years，I found Tony in our familiar meeting spot．He seemed to stand a little straighter and looked confident．
    "Mr．Craw，I sell the house and buy a farm．"
       We sat down and talked．He told me that he had persuaded his childhood friend to move to America．With asatisfied look in his eye，he told me that when they came to his little farm，his friend stood in amazement and said，"Tony，you are a millionaire!"
       Then，during the World WarⅡ，news came from my company that Tony had passed away．
       When my people came to visit his family，they found the farm green with vegetables，the little house comfortable and homey．The children were educated and working，and Tony didn't owe a cent．
       Tony，as well as all the greatest American businessmen，had reached their success in the same way and by the same values：vision，determination，optimism，self-respect and，above all，honesty．
       Tony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream．But he didn't find it-he created it for himself．All he had were 24 precious hours a day，and he wasted none of them．
    55．Why did Tony repeat"I mow your lawn"？A
    A．He was determined to get a chance to work．
    B．He asked for pay for his excellent garden work．
    C．He thought he was good at garden work．
    D．He was ready to help others out．
    56．Which of the following sentences brought out Tony's character of honesty？D
    A．Tony was very helpful whenever there were anything heavy to lift or things to fix．
    B．Tony persuaded his childhood friend to move to America．
    C．Any abandoned odds and ends around our place were gathered and taken home by Tony．
    D．The children were educated and working，and Tony didn't owe a cent．
    57．What did the author mean by saying"Do you ever loan money on character"？B
    A．He was asking the banker the way the banks loan money to people．
    B．He thought a determined and diligent man should get a loan despite poverty．
    C．He was begging the banker to help Tony for the sake of their personal relation．
    D．He supposed a loan should be given to people according to their characters．
    58．The fact that Tony sold his house and bought a farm indicated that Tony is a man ofA．
    A．vision      
    B．optimism     
    C．self-respect      
    D．honesty
    59．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？C
    A．The author refused Tony's offer of mowing the lawn when they first met．
    B．The author didn't pay Tony for his cleaning up the yard．
    C．The author doubted Tony's being a good apprentice due to his poor education．
    D．The banker loaned Tony $ 2，000 because he believed Tony was honest．
