Does Fame Drive You Crazy?

Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today's stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine.They are at the center of much of the world's 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 pyschologist Christina Villarreal, 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” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”

The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages.In the 4th century BC., 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 soldout readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy.Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about filmstars 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 aren't 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.

1.It can be learned from the passage that stars today________.

Aare often misunderstood by the public

Bcan no longer have their privacy protected

Cspend too much on their public appearance

Dcare little about how they have come into fame

2.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

AGreat heroes of the past were generally admired.

BThe problem faced by celebrities has a long history.

CWellknown actors are usually targets of tabloids.

DWorks of popular writers often have a lot of readers.

3.What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?

AAvailability of modern media.

BInadequate social recognition.

CLack of favorable chances.

DHuge population of fans.

4.What is the author's attitude toward modern celebrity?

ASincere.? ????????????? BSceptical.

CDisapproving.? ????????????? DSympathetic.

My heart  52 . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would  53  me now.

She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “I know  54   your back is hunched.”

I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be  55 . I begged in my heart for her to  56 , but she just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”

She bent and whispered in my ears.

[1] Safety in the highway is not totally out of hand. Here are four ways you can protect yourselves when you travel.

[2] You are safer in a large car. People in small cars are injured more often and more severely than people traveling in large cars. Factories of small cars are strengthening their products’ safety, which helps. But the mix of large cars and small cars on the road is the main reason for the safety problem.

[3] Being thrown into glass and metal parts of a car — or being thrown from the car — can really damage you. That’s why safety belts should be worn. The safety belt’s main purpose is to pull you back. If your car has a sudden crash with another vehicle or object or if it rolls over, a belt can reduce the chance of fatal injury by 45% and the chance of serious injury by 50%.

[4] _______________________. More than half of all new cars sold have air bags. Air bags provide protection in frontal crashes — the type of crash that kills the most drivers, though they are also wearing safety belts. Most people demand air bags in the cars they buy. But the protection provided by air bags is limited in side or rear crashes; effective as they are, they can’t take the place of safety belts.

[5] Drunk driving crashes are less likely to happen if you don’t drink. Drunk driving is the most serious problem. Many people have realized that mixing drinking and driving can lead to death and injury, prison time and other results. There are measures to strengthen penalties (处罚) for drinking and driving.

1.What is the main idea of the passage? (no more than 10 words)

_____________________________________________________________________________    

2.Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?                   Air bags can not do much protection in side or rear crashes; although they are effective, you can’t replace safety belts with air bags. 

_____________________________________________________________________________

3.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4 with a proper sentence. (no more than 5 words)    

_____________________________________________________________________________                                                                           

4.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to? (no more than 2 words)

_____________________________________________________________________________

5.Which of the suggestions do you think is the best for you? And why? (no more than 30 words)

科目:高中英语 来源:2013届江西省高三第一次月考英语试卷(解析版) 题型:阅读理解

Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.

People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions(排放)vehicles”, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants most all use fire to make it. Apart from the few people who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators(发电机). Generators are fueled by something--usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal(地热) plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.

In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. Because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not true. It's as if the California Greens are covering their eyes—“If I can't see it, it's not happening.”  Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas(or another fuel)and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat--at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.

A gallon of gas may drive your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far -- so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from wind or geothermal, or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources.

  In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though,all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.

1.What’s the main idea of the passages?

A.Electric cars aren’t actually clean.

B.Electric cars are zero-emissions vehicles.

C.Zero-emissions vehicles are popular.

D.Gasoline-powered cars are more efficient.

2.Which of the following words can replace “be clueless about” in Paragraph 2?

A.Be familiar with.

B.Be curious about.

C.Fail to understand.

D.Show their interest in.

3.The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run _________.

A.at least 25 miles

B.more than 25 miles

C.as far as 25 miles

D.less than 25 miles

4.In the author’s opinion, compared with cars using gas, electric cars are more __________.

A.environmentally-friendly

B.expensive

C.efficient

D.harmful

5.It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A.electric cars' batteries are poisonous for a long time

B.now electric cars are used more than their gasoline-powered cousins

C.zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment

D.electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning something
