Kwon Yong-seok created the “Prison Inside Me”a stress-reduction center with a punishment theme. People come here to cut themselves off from the outside world and pay to be kept in 60-square-foot (5.6-square-meter) cells (囚室).Located on the outskirts of Hongcheon, about 58 miles (93 km) northeast of Seoul, “Prison Inside Me” came to life after Mr. Kwon voluntarily asked to spend time behind bars for “healing reasons,” but his request was turned down. “I didnt know how to stop working back then,” he said. “I felt like I was being swept away against my will, and it seemed I couldnt control my own life.” So, Kwon and his wife Roh Ji-hyang decided to take matters into their own hands, and designed and built a prison-like spiritual center. The construction was completed in June last year and cost about 2 billion won ($19 million).The facility includes 28 cells, furnished with only a toilet, a sink and a small table, where guests can spend time alone, thinking about life and enjoying private thinking periods. Moreover, guests can also join group thinking periods in the hall, where they are given instructions on how to free themselves from what Mr. Kwon calls the “inner prison” to find inner peace.According to the Wall Street Journal, hundreds of stressed South Koreans are checking in at the stress-reduction facility to think about their lives and regain control of it. A two-night stay at “Prison Inside Me” costs 150,000 won ($146).Mr. Kwon and his wife explained that at the beginning they had a different plan for the “relaxation center,” and imagined a longer stay for their guests, but, given that people werent able to take more time off, they had to reduce the length of stays to just two days.Park Woo-sub, a guest at “Prison Inside Me,” said the experience helped him a lot. “This is my third time in prison. Being kept in a prison makes me hard to breathe, but it also offers time to focus only on me and spend some quiet time with myself.”Others said the experience would have been more helpful if the conditions had been poorer, like in a real prison.24. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us _.A. where “Prison Inside Me” is locatedB. what people can do in “Prison Inside Me”C. how “Prison Inside Me” came into beingD. when “Prison Inside Me” was completed25. Which of the statements is true?A. people in South Korea prefer living under great pressureB. Mr. Kwon had intended to let guests stay at “Prison Inside Me” for over two daysC. most people in South Korea can not afford to stay at “Prison Inside Me”D. the 28 cells are well furnished, but with no toilets in them26. We can know from the passage that _.A. many people have been kept in such a prison at least three timesB. it is not a good idea for people to focus only on themselvesC. people find it not difficult to breathe though the prison is smallD. some still felt a bit unsatisfied as the conditions werent poor enough27. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Many South Koreans voluntarily go to “prison” to reduce stress.B. Many South Koreans can hardly bear the stress of daily life.C. South Koreans should spend more time alone thinking about life.D. South Koreans have found the best way to deal with everyday pressure.【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. A【解析】这是一篇说明文。在韩国社会，学业和工作竞争都异常激烈，许多韩国人压力非常大。据外媒报道，现在韩国人流行到监狱里坐牢释放压力，有一间以监狱为主题的纾压中心就在首尔附近，每天都吸引不少顾客上门。【24题详解】主旨大意题。从文中第三段Prison Inside Mecame to life after MrKwon voluntarily asked to spend time behind bars forhealing reasons，but his request was turned downI didnt know how to stop working back then，可以知道第三段主要讲述“Prison Inside Me”是如何产生的。所以C选项是正确的。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据文章内容People in South Korea who feel they can no longer bear the stress of everyday life 首尔的人们不堪压力，故A排除；People come here to cut themselves off from the outside world and pay to be kept in 60-square-foot （5.6-square-meter） cells （囚室）来这里的人们是可以负担的起待在这个小囚室的，故排除C；The facility includes 28 cells，furnished with only a toilet，a sink and a small table由此可知，小囚室是配备的有厕所的，排除D；given that people werent able to take more time off，they had to reduce the length of stays to just two days由该句可知B为正确选项。【26题详解】推理判断题。从文中第六段MrKwon and his wife explained that at the beginning they had a different plan for therelaxation center，and imagined a longer stay for their guests，but，given that people werent able to take more time off，they had to reduce the length of stays to just two days可知因为资金问题，他们不得不缩短在监狱的时间，说明还是有不满的。所以D选项是正确的。【27题详解】主旨大意题。从文章中倒数第二段Park Woo-sub，a guest atPrison Inside Me，said the experience helped him a lotThis is my third time in prisonBeing kept in a prison makes me hard to breathe，but it also offers time to focus only on me and spend some quiet time with myself可知他们很多都是自愿来的，而且已经很多次了。所以A选项是正确的。CMost people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals cant talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the “hurt” adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They dont make nests. Instead, they get into other birds nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winners hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps dont hear them, and they dont need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying “You cant fool Mother Nature.” But maybe you cant trust her, either.28. A plover protects its young from a predator by_.A. getting closer to its youngB. driving away the adult predatorC. leaving its young in another nestD. pretending to be injured29. By “Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky” (paragraph5), the author means_.A. chimps are ready to attack othersB. chimps are sometimes dishonestC. chimps are jealous of the winnersD. chimps can be selfish too30. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.B. The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winners hand.C. Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.D. Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back.31. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Do animals lie?B. Does Mother Nature fool animals?C. How do animals learn to lie?D. How does honesty help animals survive?【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. A【解析】文章通过举了一些鸟类和大猩猩的例子，说明动物有时会撒谎，这也是它们生存的需要。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段的第二句话“a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young.”可知啄木鸟保护孩子不受猎食动物侵害是通过假装受伤，故选D。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段的最后一个句子“But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winners hand and start fighting again.”一个输了的大猩猩抓住获胜的大猩猩的手又开始打斗了，可知这句话的意思是大猩猩也可能不诚实，所以选B。【30题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第六段的句子“But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps dont hear them, and they dont need to share their food”可知一些大猩猩放低它们的叫声，这样让别的大猩猩得不到食物，所以选C。【31题详解】主旨大意题。根据全篇文章的内容和第一段第二行的句子“Can they lie with their bodies and behavior?”可知这篇文章讲的是动物也会撒谎，故选A。考点：考查社会现象类阅读。【名师点睛】推理判断型推理判断题属于高层次阅读理解题。这种题型包括判断题和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了得出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。做好该题型要从整体上把握语篇内容，在语篇的表面意义与隐含意义、已知信息与未知信息间架起桥梁，透过字里行间，去体会作者的“弦外之音”。推理判断题常常可以分为如下几类：(1)细节推断。如时间、地点、人物关系等；(2)逻辑推断。根据已知的结果推断导致结果产生的可能原因；(3)目的、意图、态度推断。根据文章的论述，推断作者的写作目的以及作者的情感态度；(4)预测想象推断。文章没有明确说明，要求根据语篇对文章可能涉及的内容进行预测判断。例如：本题中的第2小题。【解题剖析】此题属于推理判断型中的（2）逻辑推断。根据已知的结果推断导致结果产生的可能原因。【答案定位】根据第五段的最后一个句子“But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winners hand and start fighting again.”一个输了的大猩猩抓住获胜的大猩猩的手又开始打斗了，可知这句话的意思是大猩猩也可能不诚实。DPride and Prejudice for the Modern WomanLet us imagine how Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austens most famous work, might be updated, 200 years on.Austens popularity is rooted in her intelligence. But today she would certainly have had a very different life, as would her characters. Heres my own suggestion. . .It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men, however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism. My dear husband, said his hopeful wife one day, have you heard that the local store, standing empty for so long, is taken over by a bright young businesswoman?Her dull and indifferent (漠不关心的) husband replied that he had not. But it is, it is, she replied excitedly. Mr Dull-Husband made no reply.Dont you want to know her plans? she cried with some impatience.Well, clearly you think it matters to your silly little head. . so Id better listen. Well, my dear, the rumour (传言) is that she has already set up a string of successful businesses in northern England, though_32_. She will move in herself next month. What is her name? Bingley. Is she married or single?What a question! And none of your business. But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys. How so? How can it possibly affect them? My dear love; those lazy boys need something to wake them up. There are bound to be jobs going. Is that her point in settling here? Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place. Nonsense, my love, how little youve noticed the world has changed. Shes got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification, Im told. She surely needs one of our boys! Perhaps you might give her a call. Me? No. Perhaps you can take an interest. You still have your looks, after all. She may even offer you a job. Oh, thats not likely. These new chances belong to the younger generation. But now you mention it, I think Ill go along all the same. And Mrs Bennet went along. That was 10 years ago. She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company.It would remain the case, of course, that Mrs Bennet would be one of very few women on t
