【解析】

本文是一則廣告,屬于應(yīng)用文。詳細(xì)介紹了周末在Tampa Bay進(jìn)行的五項(xiàng)活動的具體信息,以吸引更多的游客前來參觀。

1細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句After visiting Santa, go skating on a simulated (模擬的) ice place.可知Santa and Ice Skating in St. Petersburg有滑冰活動,游客可以聯(lián)系這一活動的聯(lián)系電話(727) 893-7441。A項(xiàng)正確。

2細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段第一句The Tony Award-winning musical is about an American soldier, a secret French girl and a European city in the consequence of war.可知周末有音樂活動,如果你想享受音樂,可以到這一活動舉行的場所Carol Morsani Hall,B項(xiàng)正確。

3推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段An ensemble (重唱) brings a few dozen characters to life with live, on-stage sound effects, to present the story of George Bailey, who considers taking his own life可知George Bailey想要自殺。這是一個(gè)令人悲傷的故事,C項(xiàng)正確。

本文屬于信息篩選題。信息尋找題一般在應(yīng)用文體中較常見,體現(xiàn)于查字典、閱讀廣告、公告、演出海報(bào)、車船航班時(shí)間表等之中。這類閱讀材料包含的某一方面的信息非常全面,能滿足各種人對信息的需求,但在高考試題中,常常是就某一方面提問,考生完全沒有必要從頭到尾仔細(xì)閱讀,因?yàn)椴牧现杏泻芏嗳哂酂o效信息。做此類題時(shí),宜采用“題干定全法”。即:先閱讀題干,然后根據(jù)問題要求,有針對性地閱讀相關(guān)部分快速尋找有效信息。

廣告是閱讀理解題?嫉囊环N題材。廣告屬應(yīng)用文體。嚴(yán)格來說廣告屬快速尋找信息題。但是廣告有著其他快速尋找信息題不同的特點(diǎn)。廣告文體簡潔明快,省略了大量的詞語,達(dá)到了篇幅小、信息多的目的。同時(shí)具有語言精練,形象性、鼓動性強(qiáng)的良好效果。廣告閱讀題多為細(xì)節(jié)理解題,關(guān)鍵在于正確理解廣告內(nèi)容。考生必須具備較強(qiáng)的語言運(yùn)用能力,熟悉文化背景,利用各種手段(如:補(bǔ)全、聯(lián)想、推測等)正確解讀廣告的內(nèi)容。通常運(yùn)用“補(bǔ)全成分法”和“聯(lián)想推測法”兩種方法來解讀廣告的內(nèi)容。做題方法同樣采用“題干定向法”。

(1)補(bǔ)全成分法

省略名在廣告體閱讀材料中大量出現(xiàn),可以說廣告閱讀理解材料中大多數(shù)句子都是省略句。我們應(yīng)結(jié)合全文語境及邏輯關(guān)系將省略句補(bǔ)全,從而更加準(zhǔn)確地理解。如:Driver wanted. 根據(jù)文義,可將該句補(bǔ)充為:A driver will be wanted. (招聘一名司機(jī))。

(2)聯(lián)想推測法

在些廣告時(shí)間、日期、地點(diǎn)、電話、票價(jià)等用了縮略詞,甚至一概沒有提及,這就需要考生前后連貫,充分想象,整體理解。搜尋已知信息,推斷語篇意義。

【題目】 Attitude Is Everything Jerry was the kind of guy who was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say.

One day I asked him, “I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, ‘Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a bad mood or in a good mood.’ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.” Soon thereafter, I left the city and we lost touch. Several years later, I heard Jerry did something surprising: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry survived. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of care, Jerry was released from the hospital with pieces of the bullets(子彈) still in his body.

I saw Jerry six months after the accident. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. “The first thing through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or to die. I chose to live. ”“Weren’t you scared?” I asked. Jerry continued, “The paramedics(護(hù)理人員) were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But in the emergency room, the facial expressions of the doctors and nurses really scared me. In their eye, I read, ‘He’s a dead man.’ I knew I need to take actions.” “What did you do?” I asked. “Well, a nurse asked me if I was allergic to anything,” said Jerry.“The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Yes! Bullets!’ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”

1When facing the robbery, Jerry .

A. encouraged the doctors and nurses to bring him back to life

B. told the doctors to take him as dead during the operation

C. convinced the doctors he was not afraid of the operation

D. made the doctors and nurses feel light hearted

D. taking positive attitudes is the key to living fully

【題目】There are a lot of reasons why people calling 911 might not be able to tell operators which floor they’re on in a high-rise building. They could be injured or simply confused. Yet precious minutes are wasted when emergency personnel have to search a building to find a person in need. With a new app called Sensory, emergency responders soon may be able to use a caller’s smartphone to locate his exact position in a building.

Columbia University researchers William Falcon and Henning Schulzrinne created Sensory using a two-step process. First, they used all existing smartphone features that help narrow down a caller’s location. All iPhones produced after 2014 already include GPS and altimeter(測高儀) that can help emergency responders determine if a person is outdoors or inside a building. But when it comes to tall buildings, just knowing a person’s altitude may not be enough,because the i distance between floors changes from one building to another.

So Falcon and Schulzrinne analysed the plans of figuring out the average distance between floors in residential(住宅的)buildings and office buildings among more than 1000 buildings in New York City. They tested their app in 63 experiments in five high-rise buildings and found that it could find a caller’s location within two floors with about a 91 percent accuracy.

In a survey conducted by Find Me 911 this year, dispatchers(調(diào)度員)said that they regularly received calls from people in need who often couldn’t share their location. They sometimes accidentally give the wrong address or floor number. Some callers are too young to know their address. Dispatchers also received calls from those who are deaf or have hearing problems and they often couldn’t hear the operator’s questions.

The new Sensory app could help shave precious minutes off the time it takes first responders to get to those calling for help. And it could make the difference between life and death.

1The new app Sensory can be used to .

A. provide emergency measures B. speed the connection to 911

C. locate emergency callers accurately D. improve the function of smartphones

2What can the Sensory’s first step help emergency responders do?

A. Make use of a smartphone’s sensors. B. Detect whether a caller is indoors.

C. Combine GPS and signal strength. D. Help callers speak clearly and accurately.

3What does Paragraph 4 really want to tell us?

A. The reasons for failing to get exact location.

B. The basic information about emergencies.

C. The potential danger of failing to rescue.

D. The different kinds of emergency callers.

4What is the author’s attitude to the new app?

A. Skeptical. B. Supportive. C. Unconcerned. D. Opposed.
