专题03 The Million Poumd bank Note第一节阅读理解阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。

AChinese media and Internet users on Monday condemned lack of morals in society after a little girl was struck twice—by two different vans—and left bleeding on the road as more than a dozen bystanders did nothing to help the seriously injured girl.The incident，captured by a surveillance camera and broadcast by Southern Television Guangdong(TVS)，showed the two­year­old girl was knocked down and run over by a white van on a narrow market street on the afternoon of Oct.13，in Foshan City of Guangdong Province.The driver fled the scene of the accident，leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk.Over the next six minutes，more than a dozen people walked by the girl，yet not one individual did anything to help her.The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girl's mother，according to the video and eyewitnesses.Doctors said that the girl，who was put on a life­support machine after being hospitalized，remains in a deep coma.The girl's parents，who are migrants living in the city，are now with her.The police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested.However，the apathy of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public，as Internet forums have seethed with anger，and people are questioning the morality of society.High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public.But in recent years，the perception(观念)of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are perceived to be affecting society's values.On Sept.2 an 88­year­old man in central China collapsed，his face striking the pavement.Yet，no one came to his aid，and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose.Some have linked the absence of good Samaritans(模范人物)to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her.A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt(免除)Samaritans from liabilty(责任)，yet laws themselves cannot solve society's morality dilemma.Cao Lin，a China Youth Daily commentator，said in a signed article published on Monday thatthe worry of liability should not be an excuse for not helping，and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society.1．Which of the following is TRUE about this passage?A．Nobody helped the girl who was struck twice by two different vans.B．The toddler died immediately after she was hit a second time.C．High moral standards were once regarded as national pride in China.D．Journalists from TVS captured the incident by using a camera.2．In recent years，society's values are believed to be affected by ________．A．profit and materialism B．people's perceptionsC．the apathy of bystanders D．the morals of society3．According to Cao Lin，what is the fundamental reason for not helping the girl?A．The worry of liability.B．Lack of laws that exempt Samaritans from liability.C．The decline of humanity in society.D．The fear of being accused of harming her.4．Where is the article most probably taken from?A．A fashion magazine. B．A news report.C．A science magazine. D．An education column.语篇解读：本文为一篇新闻报道，介绍了两个反映当前社会道德缺失的事例。

And the BBC is broadcasting a live show from Stratfore-upon-Avon, celebrating Shakespeare’s widespread influence on the world.

He wrote around 37 plays and 154 sonnets(十四行诗), and his work has been translated into over one hundred languages! He penned beautiful metaphors(暗喻), serious dramas and amusing tales.Shak espeare also invented many new terms and phrases. If someone’s behavior suggested they were not being honest and should not be trusted, Shakespeare called their actions suspicious.

Today, for instance, food critics and film critics give audiences their opinions of food and film. The familiar phrase ＂break the ice＂comes from Shakespeare’s play The Taming of the Shrew. The ＂ice is broken＂ when a difficult conversation or meeting is calmed by some basic introduction, such as a simple game.

Imagine this scene: it’s blowing outside, and you snuggle (蜷伏) up on the sofa under a warm quilt, chatting and recalling with your closest friends.That content, cosy feeling has a name in Danish —hygge. And, as Denmark recently won the title of “the happiest country in the world”, the concept of hygge is known to more and more people interested in finding ways to understand this concept.Hygge —originally from a Norwegian word meaning well-being —doesn’t have an exact equivalent (等同物) in English. It’s often translated as coziness, or as blogger Anna West told the BBC, “coziness of the soul”. But, as professor Maren Spark explains, “Hygge was never meant to be translated. It was meant to be felt.”Basically, hygge involves creating a warm, cosy atmosphere and enjoying it with your loved ones. Danish winters are long and dark and so achieving hygge is particularly relevant during this season. A typical Hygge activity during winter could be enjoying delicious homemade food and light-hearted conversation with friends —preferably in the warm glow of candlelight, or maybe sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub after a day spent skiing.However, hygge isn’t only limited to the cold winter months —it can also describe that warm, fuzzy fee ling you get after a walk through a forest with friends on summer’s day or a family barbecue in the park. Hygge is meant to be shared.1.The author asks the readers to imagine the scene in the first paragraph to_________ .A. help the readers to calm downB. introduce the topic of the passageC. present the main idea of the passageD. remind the readers of their past memories2.What do the underlined words by Maren Spark mean?A. The translation of the word “hygge” is not good enough.B. Only Danish speaker s know what “hygge” means.C. “Hygge” is easy to translate but hard to feel.D. We can get the true meaning of “hygge” by feeling it.3.Which of the following can be best described as a “hygge” activity?A. Skiing in the cold winter months.B. Living through long dark winters.C. Taking afternoon tea with friends.D. Walking alone in the forest.4.The author writes this passage to_________.A. explainB. persuadeC. commentD. advertise【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，举例说明丹麦语hygge只可意会不可言传，需要用心去感受。
