参考答案
参考解析
解析：考查名词辨析。contribution“贡献；捐款；投稿”，compliment“称赞，恭维”，comparison“比较；比喻”，command“命令；指挥；掌握”。句意为“当理查德说‘你现在更讨人喜欢，更漂亮了’时，琼的脸因这意外的赞美变红了”。根据句意可知，理查德的话明显是夸赞之言，故选B。

Passage Four"We're more than halfway (中途) now; it's only two miles farther to the tavern (客栈) ," said the driver."I'm glad of that," answered the stranger, in a more sympathetic way. He meant to say more but the east wind blew clear down a man's throat if he tried to speak. The girl's voice was quite attractive; however, later he spoke again."You don't feel the cold so much at twenty below zero in the Western country. There isn't such damp chill (潮冷)", he said, and then it seemed as if he had blamed the uncomplaining young driver. She had not even said that it was a bad day, and he began to be conscious of a warm hopefulness of spirit, and sense of pleasant adventure under all the woolen scarves."You'll have a cold drive going back," he said anxiously, and put up his hand for the twentieth time to see if his coat collar was as close to the back of his neck as possible."I shall not have to go back!" cried the girl, with eager pleasantness. "I'm on my way home now. I drove over early just to meet you at the train. We had word that someone was coming to the tavern."46. How far was the drive from the train to the tavern?A. One mile.B. About four miles.C. Two miles.D. Less than four miles.

There will eventually come a day when The New York Times cases to publish stories on newsprint.Exactly when that day will be is a matter of debate.“Sometime in the future“the paper’s publisher said back in 2010.Nostalgia for ink on paper and the rustle of pages aside,there’s plenty of incentive to ditch print.The infrastructure required to make a physical newspapers-printing presses.delivery truck-isn’t just expensive it’s excessive at a time when online-only competition don’t have the same set financial constraints.Readers are migrating away from print away,And although print ad sales still dwarf their online and mobile counterparts revenue from print is still declining.Overhead may be high and circulation lowe,but rushing to eliminate its print editor would be a mistake,says BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti.Peretti says the Times shouldn't waste time getting of the print business,only if they go about doing it the right away“Figuring out a way to accelerate that transition would make sense for them“he said,“but if you discontinue it,you're going to have your most loyal customers really upset with you."Sometimes that's worth making a change anyway".Peretti gives example of Netflix discontinuing its DVD-mailing service to focus on streaming."It was seen as a blunder."he said.The move turned out to be foresighted.And if Peretti were in charge at the times?"l wouldn't pick year to end print."he said.“I would raise and make it into more of a legacy product.”The most loyal costumer would still gel the product they favor.the idea goes,and they’d feel like they were helping sustain the quality of something they believe in."So if you're overpaying for print,you could feel like you were helping,"peretti said."Then increase it at rate each year and essentially try to generate additional revenue."In other words,if you're going to print product,make it for the people who are already obsessed with it.Which may be what the Times is doing already.Getting the print edition seven days a week costs nearly$500 a year—more than twice as much as a digital-only subscription."It's a really hard thing to do and it's a tremendous luxury that BuzzFeed doesn't have a legacy business,"Peretti remarked."But we're going to have questions like that where we have things we're doing that don't make sense when the market.Change and the world changes.In those situations,it's better to be more aggressive than less aggressive."
Peretti suggests that,in face of the present situation,the Times should.A.seek new sources of readership.
B.end the print edition for goog.
C.aim for efficitent management.
D.make strategic adiustments.

第二篇Although it can be argued that voice,and E-mail are more efficient,and in many ways,more convenient,I still prefer to communicate in person,or if that is not possible,by telephone.In my expenence,face-to-face interactions are best for a number of reasons.In the first place,when you hear the speaker's tone of voice,you are better able to judge the attitude and emotions that can be easily hidden in a written reply.In addition,the exchange is more immediate.Even instant messaging isn't as fast as a verbal interaction in person or by phone.E-mail seems efficient;however, sometimes multiple messages over several days are required to clarify the information that a short phone call would have taken care of in one communication.We have all tried to return a voice mail only to hear a recording on the original caller's voice mail. Clearly,no real communication is possible in a situation that only allows one person to talk.Moreover,the body language and the expression on the speaker's face often communicate more than the words themselves.Research indicates that more than 80 percent of a message is nonverbal.The way that a speaker stands or sits can indicate interest or disagreement.The eye contact and the movement of the eyebrows and the mouth can actually communicate the opposite of the words that the speaker is saying. Finally,no technology has succeeded in duplicating a firm handshake to close a deal,a hug to encourage a friend,or a kiss goodbye.Until E-mail and voice mail can provide the subtle communication,the immediate interaction,and the emotional satisfaction of a face-to-face conversation,complete with facial expressions and gestures,I will prefer to talk instead of to type.The writer prefers face-to-face communication because of the following reasons except________.A:face-to-face communication is more immediate and you can judge the speaker's attitude and emotionsB:you can talk to many people at the same time in a face-to-face communicationC:nonverbal language conveys more meaning than verbal language in a communicationD:you can get emotional satisfaction by having physical contact with the person you are talking to in a face-to-face communication

单选题To face the music Like every
language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come
from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way. Our
expression today is "to face the music". When someone
says, "well, I guess I’ll have to face the music," it does not mean he’s
planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being
called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you
didn’t do this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime
or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children.
We can all remember father’s angry voice, "I want to talk to you." and only
because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!
The phrase "to face the music" is familiar to every American,
young and old. It is at least 100 years old. And where did this expression come
from The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore
Looper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while
waiting in the wings to go on the stage. When they got their cue to go on, they
often said, "Well, it’s time to face the music." And that was exactly what they
did-facing the orchestra which was just below them. And an actor might be
frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that
might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines. But he
had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression "to face
the music "come to mean "having to go through something, no matter how
unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no
choice." Other explanations about the expression go back to the
army. When the men faced an inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be
worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean, shinny enough to
pass the inspection Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band
as well as the inspection. What else could they do Another
army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and
accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done. As,
for example when a man is forced out of the army because he did something
terrible, he is dishonored. The band does not play. Only the drums tap a sad,
slow beat. The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing
the back of his horse.What’s the meaning of "to face the music"A
To face something far less pleasant.B
To face the stage.C
To face the back of one’s horse.D
To face one’s leader.
