株洲市2014高考英语阅读理解、短文改错训练（1）及答案 (第*篇)in ancient egypt ，the pharaoh(法老) treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. however, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.shades of that spirit spread over today s conversations.once a friend and i packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. as we walked lightheartedly out the door，picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “oh boy, bad day for a picnic. the weatherman says it s going to rain.” i wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.several months ago i was racing to catch a bus.as i breathlessly put my handful of cash across the greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “oh that bus left five minutes ago.” dreams of headcutting!it s not the news that makes someone angry. it s the unsympathetic attitude with which it s delivered. everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. a doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. a boss informing an employee he didn t get the job takes on a sympathetic tone.big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.unfortunately, many people are not aware of this. when you are tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn t ready yet? when you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? it makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, i would have appreciated his warning.had the greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, i probably would have said, “oh, that s all right. ill catch the next one. ”big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded (被轰炸的) person is sure to have.语篇解读当我们告诉别人不好的消息时，我们应该以同情的表情和语气来表达。1in paragraph 1 ，the writer tells the story of the pharaoh to_.a. make a comparisonb. introduce a topicc. describe a scene d. offer an argument解析逻辑推理题。从第一段可知，作者用“法老的故事”来引出文章的话题，所以答案选b。答案b2in the writer s opinion, his neighbor was_.a. friendly b. warmheartedc. not considerate d. not helpful解析事实细节题。文章中第二段，作者的邻居高兴地向作者传达一个坏消息，他没有考虑作者的感受，由此可知作者的邻居很不会体贴人，考虑事情不周全。答案c3from “dreams of headcutting！” ( paragraph 3 ), we learn that the writer_.a. was mad at the sales agentb. was reminded of the cruel pharaohc. wished that the sales agent would have bad dreamsd. dreamed of cutting the sales agent s head that night解析逻辑推理题。从文章第三段推断可知，作者对售票员的这种行为非常愤怒，所以答案选a。答案a4what is the main idea of the text?a. delivering bad news properly is important in communication.b. helping others sincerely is the key to business success.c. receiving bad news requires great courage.d. learning ancient traditions can be useful.解析主旨大意题。本文告诉我们“在日常交流中，当向别人传达坏消息时应该委婉地表达出来，以照顾到对方的感受，这在日常交流中是非常重要的”。由此可知答案为a项。答案a*结束today, theres hardly an aspect of our life that isnt being upended by the tons of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail. “if the automobile and aerospace technology had exploded at the same pace as computer and information technology,” says microsoft, “a new car would cost about $ 2 and go 600 miles on a small quantity of gas. and you could buy a boeing 747 for the cost of a pizza.”probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the internet is saving companies in producing goods and serving for the needs of their customers. nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the industrial revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year. “we view the growth of the internet and e-commerce as a global trend,” says merrill lynch, “along the lines of printing press, the telephone, the computer, and electricity.”you would be hard pressed to name something that isnt available on the internet. consider: books, health care, movie tickets, construction materials, baby clothes, stocks, cattle feed, music, electronics, antiques, tools, real estate, toys, autographs of famous people, wine and airline tickets. and even after youve moved on to your final resting place, theres no reason those you love cant keep in touch. a company called finalt offers a place for you to store “afterlife e-mails” you can send to heaven with the help of a “guardian angel”.kids today are so computer literate that it in fact ensures the united states will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable(能预测的) future. nearly all children in families with incomes of more than $75,000 a year have home computers, according to a study by the david and lucile packard foundation. youngsters from ages 2 to 17 at all income levels have computers, with 52% of those connected to the internet. most kids use computers to play games (some for 30 hours or more a week), and many teenage girls think nothing of rushing home from school to have e-mail chats with friends they have just left.whats clear is that, whether we like it or not, the internet is an ever growing part of our lives and there is no turning back. “the internet is just 20% invented,” says cyber pioneer jake winebaum. “the last 80% is happening now.”10. what can we learn from the microsofts remark?
