　　[2015·吉林实验中学四模]During the past Spring Festival, many children may have received red packets from their families. But Xing Pu, a 40­year­old economist, is asking the government to give red packets to every Chinese citizen.

　　Xing suggested the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese since the government income has increased rapidly in recent years. He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the country's economic success, help the lower­income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption (消费) around the country.

　　Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro­poor (扶贫) and pro­rural (惠农) policies, including increasing spending on public healthcare and calling off the agricultural tax. But the lower­income group still needs more help while being hit hard by an 11­year high in prices and recent snowstorms.

　　Xing said while making the draft, he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like the United States and Singapore. Earlier this year, the governments of the two nations offered cash handouts (救济) to their citizens as the result of a surplus in government income. As for in China, “We can even encourage the rich to donate their 1,000 yuan red packet to the poor，” said Xing.

　　Although Xing's suggestion has gained wide support among ordinary Chinese on the Internet, many other economists criticized it as unpractical. Even Xing himself admitted he made the suggestion without any careful calculation. But they agreed with Xing's point that the growing economic pie should be shared among the people.

　　“To better use the increase of money, handing out money is not a solution that holds good for all time. It could be better to improve the public service or cut the price of energy use in daily life，” said Qiao Xinsheng, an economic professor.

　　答案：C　考查细节理解。根据第二段提到“He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the country's economic success, help the lower­income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption (消费) around the country.”他说他的建议允许大家来享受国家经济成功的果实，故选C项。

　　2．What has the government done to help the lower­income group?

　　A．Spending less on public health care.

　　B．Increasing the agricultural tax.

　　C．Handing out money to every Chinese.

　　[2015·河南郑州质量预测一]“A photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website” is the definition of “selfie” in the Oxford English Dictionary. In fact, it wasn't even in the dictionary until August of last year. It earned its place there because people are now so obsessed with (对……痴迷) selfies－we take them when we try on a new hat, play with our pets or when we meet a friend whom we haven't seen in a while.

　　But is there any scientific explanation for this obsession? Well, you should probably ask James Kilner, a neuroscientist (神经系统科学家) at University College London.

　　Through our lifetime we become experts at recognizing and interpreting other people's faces and facial expressions. In contrast， according to Kilner, we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at them－we just feel them most of the time.

　　This has been proved in previous studies, according to the BBC.

　　Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture. This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better­looking than we actually are. To further test how we actually perceive our own faces, Kilner carried out another study. He showed people different versions of their own portrait－the original, one that had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive－and asked them to pick the version which they thought looked most like them. They chose the more attractive version.

　　But what does it say about settles? Well, isn't that obvious? Selfies give us the power to create a photograph－by taking it from various angles, with different poses, using filters (滤色镜) and so on－that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.

　　“You suddenly have control in a way that you don't have in non­virtual (非虚拟的) interactions.” Kilner told the Canada­based CTV News. Selfies allow you “to keep taking pictures until you manage to take one you're happy with”， he explained.

　　文章主要讲述了人们为什么喜爱“自拍”的一项报告。

　　5．What is the passage mainly about?

　　A．The definition and fun of taking selfies.

　　B．A study of why people love taking selfies.

　　C．How taking selfies influences people's daily lives.

　　D．How to interpret people's facial expressions in their selfies.

　　答案：B　考查主旨大意。根据第二段第一句“But is there any scientific explanation for this obsession？”以及下文的内容可推出，文章主要解释的是人们喜欢自拍的原因。

　　6．The underlined word “perceive” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “________”．

　　A．interpret

　　B．beautify

　　C．choose

　　D．explain

　　答案：A　考查词义猜测。根据上文的“we have a very poor understanding of our own faces since we have little experience of looking at...”perceive “理解为；认为”；interpret “领会，理解为”。

　　7．What did Kilner discover from his researches?

　　A．People interpret others' facial expressions worse than their own.

　　B．People tend to spend more time looking at their faces than at others'.

　　C．People tend to believe they look more attractive than they actually are.

　　D．People who like taking selfies know more about their facial expressions.

　　答案：C　考查细节理解。根据第五段前两句“Kilner found that most people chose the more attractive picture. This suggests that we tend to think of ourselves as better­looking than we actually are.”人们认为自己长相比实际要好看。

　　8．According to Kilner, people like taking selfies probably because they think ________.

　　A．it is a good chance to learn more about their actual faces

　　B．it is a way to respond to others' facial expressions correctly

　　C．it enables them to interact with their friends in social media

　　D．it allows them to satisfy their expectations with their appearances

　　答案：D　考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段最后一句“that better matches our expectations with our actual faces.”可知答案。

　　1．typically adv. 典型地；有代表性地

　　2．scientific adj. 科学的

　　3．interpret vt. 翻译(口译)；阐述

　　4．attractive adj. 吸引人的　5.expectation n. 期待；预期

　　1．in contrast 与此相反；比较起来

　　2．think of...as...把……当作……

　　原文：He showed people different versions of their own portrait－the original, one that had been edited to look less attractive and one that was made more attractive.(同位语)

　　译文：他向人们展示他们自己的画像——最原始的一张，一张已经被编辑的不太迷人的照片，还有一张被制作的很迷人。

　　One possible version：

　　Dear_Bruce，

　　I'd_like_to_study_English_in_your_language_center_this_summer_vacation.I think it will greatly improve my spoken English and also I'll learn about American culture. Studying in a traditional class in our country, I'd like a change. I think it's better to discuss in class and it'll be interesting to make a survey of society. If I have a chance to stay in an American family, that will be better. Living there, I can enjoy their culture and foods. I am wondering if I have a chance to live near the language center. If so, I can go to school on foot, which I think is easy for me to get to know the place quickly.

　　Besides, I'd like some information about your fees. I'd be grateful if you give me a hand. Looking forward to your reply.

　　Best_wishes!

　　Yours_sincerely，

　　Li_Hua
