blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A B C and D Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context Everyone hates to wait in lines But our behavior when waiting is only partly defined by the length of the wait Often the psychology of queuing is more important than the statistics of the wait itself notes the MIT researcher Richard Larson an expert

people are left 55 It turns out that more people from the first group than the second one refuse to 56 Walt Disney Co knows this better than anyone else It 57 waiting times for attractions in its theme parks But according to Larson these times are overestimated so that visitors get to the front of the queue more 58 than they expect It keeps them happy Another big influence on our feelings about waiting in a line has to do with our perception of fairness When it comes to queues the universally acknowledged 59 is first come first served Any deviation 背离 from this is regarded as 60 and can lead to violent queue rage Sometimes however we are willing to make 61 In hospitals 62 priority 优先 权 is given to those with a more critical condition we can also understand that Waiting is

enough to write your idol and never get reply So how would you feel if your admiring letter was ignored and thrown away like a piece of trash Every fan secretly hopes that his or her letter will be personally read and replied to But dealing with piles of fan mail is a big burden for most celebrities Many of them aware that their fans support is vital to their careers hire others to read and reply to fan letters for them Sylvia Taylor has been running a fan mail answering service in California since 1987 She told the BBC that she and her six staff members process up to 20 000 items of mail a month on behalf of 26 celebrities Typically correspondence is acknowledged by a photo with a printed autograph 亲笔签名 The relationship between the fan and the celebrity often exists only in the mind of the former says Lynn Zuberbis an expert in the psychology of fandom at the UK s West Chester University It s not about the autograph It s about the moment of connection Zuberbis told the BBC When a celebrity replies to a fan s letter in person it can be a powerful experience for the fan Writing on The Telegraph s online blog Nigel Farndale is nostalgic for an era when celebrities took fan letters seriously Bill Wyman the former bassist of the Rolling Stones for example used to write around a dozen letters a day in the 1960s It passed the time when they were stuck on tour buses or waiting around hotels before a concert Replying to fans can buy their loyalty Farndale said He wrote a letter to UK actor Stephen Fry when he was 19 To his surprise Fry wrote back with a long and witty letter Whenever I see Stephen Fry being criticized in the press for being pompous or whatever Farndale says I always feel protective toward him 65 When writing to a celebrity fans A are in the hope of getting an autograph as a reward B value mainly the experience of communication C want their celebrity to understand the importance of fans D do not wish that they can get a reply 66 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage A Most celebrities fail to understand the importance of the support of the fans B Some of the replies fans get are actually not made from the celebrity C Celebrities are fully aware of the relationship between the celebrity and the fan D Most of the admiring letters are trashed without being read 67 What CANNOT be inferred from Nigel Farndale s words A Celebrities used to value letters from fans B Replying fans letters is a good investment for celebrities C Celebrities should consider replying as a kind of pastime D Farndale decided to back up Fry because of the letter being replied 2013届上海英语区县学校同步练习试卷集 9 四月高三考前模拟卷 7 16 P F Productions 统筹制作 B The Joy Luck Club from which Two Kinds is taken explores conflicts between two generations and two different cultures Set in China and in the United States the novel is woven by stories of four Chinese mothers and their four daughters Four Chinese women who have just arrived in the United States

a compelling story by building up tension around conflicts She moves easily between pathos 悲 怆 humor or joy Her language seems simple but that proves that she needs not show off We may have a deep understanding of these as we probe into the text ourselves Many of the stories in the book are based on Amy Tan s personal experiences As a teenager she tried painfully to make sense of the tension between her and her mother Out of a strong desire to come to terms with this stormy relationship and to communicate with her mother she began to write not for public audience but for herself and for
