小题；每小题 2 分，共 30 分） 阅读下列短文：从每题所给的 a、b、c、d 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 a does fame drive you crazy? although being famous might sound like a dream come true, todays star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. they are at the center of much of the worlds attention. paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.according to psychologist christina villareal, celebrities famous people worry constantly about their public appearance. eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “over time,” villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.” the phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. in the 4th century b.c., painters followed alexander the great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. when charles dickens visited america in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do. being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. when they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever. if fame is so troublesome, why arent all celebrities running away from it? the answer is there are still ways to deal with it. some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. they focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. they are tired of being famous already.36. it can be learned from the passage that stars today_.a. are often misunderstood by the publicb. can no longer have their privacy protectedc. spend too much on their public appearanced. care little about how they have come into fame37. what is the main idea of paragraph 3?a. great heroes of the past were generally admired.b. the problem faced by celebrities has a long history. c. well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.d. works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.38. what makes it much harder to be a celebrity today? a. availability of modern media. b. inadequate social recognition. c. lack of favorable chances. d. huge population of fans.39. according to the passage, why arent all celebrities running away from fame? a.because they can get so much money . b. they just focus on how famous they are c.they are tired of being famous already. d.they have their own ways to deal with the problems.40what is the authors attitude toward modern celebrity? a. sincere. b. sceptical.c. disapproving.d. sympathetic.bin 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music,dance and theatre in edinburgh. the idea was to reunite europe after the second world war.at the same time, the “fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947,in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform,and they did so in a public house disused for years.soon,groups of students firstly from edinburgh university, and later from the universities of oxford and cambridge,durham and birmingham were making the journey to the scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of edinburgh.today the “fringe”,once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre,music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. and yet as early as 1959,with only 19 theatre groups performing,some said it was getting too big.a paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during august itself. in 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. more than 1,25 million tickets were sold.41. point was the purpose of edinburgh festival at he beginning? a. to bring europe together again. b. to honor heroes of world war 11.c. to introduce young theatre groups. d. to attract great artists from europe.42. why did some uninvited theatre groups come to edinburgh in 1947?a. they owned a public house there. b. they came to take up a challenge.c. they thought they were also famous. d. they wanted to take part in the festival.43. who joined the fringe after it appeared?a.they owned a public house there b. university students.c.music groups from around the world. d. performers of music and dance.44. we may learn from the text that edinburgh festival.a. has become a non-official event b. has gone beyond an art festivalc. gives shows all year round d. keeps growing rapidly45. which is right according to the passage？ a.an international festival of music,dance and theatre in france was held in 1974 b.edinburgh is the capital of scotland. c.a paid administrator was first employed only in 1974, d. there are eighty paid administrators working all year round today. c as a young boy, i sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. he was a rural mail carrier, and on saturdays he would ask me to go with him. driving through the countryside was always an adventure: there were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and dad did. in the spring, dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when i was a boy it was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers. on dads final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailbox to thank him for his friendship and his years of service. two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route, he used to say, “and a story at every one. one lady had no mailbox, so dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills. mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. one note left in a mailbox read, nat, take these eggs to marian; shes baking a cake and doesnt have any eggs. mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the ground, but the mail was always delivered. on cold days dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. a young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; dad paid for the stamps. one businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for dad to take to the bank. once, the amount came to $ 32,000. a dozen years ago, when i traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of dads death, the mailboxesalong the way reminded me of some of his stories. i thought i knew them all, but that wasnt the ease. as i drove home, i noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. when my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. one box was painted green, and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: santa claus, north pole. for years children had dropped letters to santa through those holes. i made a turn at the comer and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. mom and i were sitting at the kitchen table when i heard footsteps. there, at the door, stood frank townsend, dadspostmaster and great friend for many years. so we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories. at one point frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. what are we going to do about the letters thischristmas? he asked. the letters? i guess you never knew. knew what? remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to santa in those green and red boxes on main street? it was your dad who answered all those letters every year. i just sat there with tears in my eyes. it wasnt hard for me to imagine dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. i have since spoken with several of the people who received christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that santa had known so much about their homes and families. for me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.46. it can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with dad as . a. great chances to help other people b. happy occasions to play with baby chickens c. exciting experiences with a lot of fun d. good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies47. the writer provides the detail about the businessman to show that .
