D.Realizetheirinsignificanceinothers’eyes.【答案】24.A25.B26.A27.D【解析】【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者通過講述自己第一次演講因語速過快而搞砸以及Marc面試表現(xiàn)糟糕的經(jīng)歷，引出“人們離開房間后很快就會(huì)忘記別人的事情”這一觀點(diǎn)，進(jìn)而建議人們不要把自己看得太重，要從他人視角看待自己，認(rèn)識(shí)到自己在別人眼中是微不足道的，犯錯(cuò)并不可怕，關(guān)鍵是要從中吸取教訓(xùn)并勇于再次嘗試。24題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“IwasscaredwhenIwasspeakinginfrontoftwentypeopleforthefirsttime.Myfearshowedinmypace.Ifinisheda35-minutetalkin25minutes.Aprofessoraskedmetoslowdowntowardtheendofthetalk.(當(dāng)我第一次在20個(gè)人面前演講時(shí)，我很害怕。我的恐懼表現(xiàn)在我的步伐上。我在25分鐘內(nèi)完成了35分鐘的演講。一位教授讓我在演講快結(jié)束時(shí)放慢速度。)”可知，作者第一次在二十人面前演講時(shí)，因?yàn)楹ε抡Z速太快，原本35分鐘的演講25分鐘就講完了，所以作者演講的問題是語速太快，故選A項(xiàng)?！?5題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“WhenI’mfeelingsuperemotional,Ineedtorelyongoodoldcommonsense.Itsayspeopleforgetyouthemomenttheyleavetheroom.(當(dāng)我感到非常情緒化時(shí)，我需要依靠古老的常識(shí)。它說人們?cè)陔x開房間的那一刻就忘記了你。)”及第四段中“Iknewhowhewasfeeling.IalsoknewIwouldn’tthinkofhimformorethantensecondsthemomentIlefttheconferenceroom.(我知道他的感受。我也知道，在我離開會(huì)議室的那一刻，我想起他的時(shí)間不會(huì)超過十秒。)”可知，作者提到對(duì)

Marc

的采訪是為了證實(shí)古老的常識(shí)，即第三段所提到的“Itsayspeopleforgetyouthemomenttheyleavetheroom.(它說人們?cè)陔x開房間的那一刻就忘記了你。)”，故選B項(xiàng)。【26題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段中“There’snothingwrongwithmakingmistakes.Justmakesureyoulearnfromthem.It’seasyifyoudon’ttakeyourselftooseriously.Lookatyourselffromsomeoneelse’sperspectiveandrealizeyou’reunimportant.Nobodyblamesyou.Nobodyiseventhinkingaboutyou.(犯錯(cuò)沒有錯(cuò)。只要確保你向他們學(xué)習(xí)。如果你不把自己太當(dāng)回事，這很容易。從別人的角度看自己，意識(shí)到你并不重要。沒有人責(zé)怪你。甚至沒有人在想你。)”可知，作者認(rèn)為犯錯(cuò)沒什么大不了的，要從別人的角度看自己，意識(shí)到自己在別人眼中并不重要，所以Marc應(yīng)該認(rèn)為自己在面試中的搞砸也沒什么大不了的，故選A項(xiàng)。【27題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Lookatyourselffromsomeoneelse’sperspectiveandrealizeyou’reunimportant.Nobodyblamesyou.Nobodyiseventhinkingaboutyou.It’syou,alone.Sogiveitanothershot.(從別人的角度看自己，意識(shí)到你并不重要。沒有人責(zé)怪你。甚至沒有人在想你。是你，一個(gè)人。所以再試一次。)”可知，作者建議人們從別人的角度看自己，意識(shí)到自己在別人眼中是不重要的，即要認(rèn)識(shí)到自己在他人眼中的微不足道，故選D項(xiàng)。CForLaurieEzzellBrown,localnewshasbeenafamilyaffair.HerdadwastheownerandpublisherofTheCanadianRecord,aweeklypaperservingthesmallTexasPanhandletownofCanadiansince1893.Shespentmuchofherchildhoodinthenewsroom.Shelikedit,sowhenherfatherdiedin1993,shesteppedupasaneditor.Browntookprideinthoroughlyexploringenvironmentalissuesherneighborscaredabout.Butovertheyears,runningthenewspaperbecameincreasinglydifficult.InMarch2023,shehadtomakethepainfuldecisiontoendtheprintingoftheRecord,leavingthecountywithoutalocalnewssource.AcrosstheU.S.,localnewspapersliketheRecordarefadingawayrapidly,withoverathirdhavingclosedsince2005.This“newsdesert”trendleavescommunitieslessinformed,exposedtounethical(不道德的)practices,anddividedintheirpoliticalviews.Localjournalismiscrucialyetfacesunforeseendifficulties.Asclimateandbiodiversityissuesworsen,environmentreportersareoftenfirsttolosejobs.“Thereisnomorelocalstorythantheenvironment,”saysMeaghanParker,formerexecutivedirectorfortheSocietyofEnvironmentalJournalists.“Itistheairwebreathe.It’sthefoodweeat.It’sthewaterwedrink.”Despitesmallaudiences,localpapershavehugeimpactduetoreaders’trust.WhentheFountainValleyNewsclosed,over60yearsofreportingended.KarinHillworriesaboutherneighbors’lackofinformationonissueslike“foreverchemicals”inwater.Localnewsisstruggling,butinnovativemethodsareemerging.ReportforAmericaandPressForwardarefundingreportersandnewsrooms.Somestatesusepublicmoneytostrengthenjournalism,whileacongresshillofferstaxbreaksforsupportinglocaloutlets.Klemannotesthatthere’snosinglesolution,butmanyexperimentsareinprogress.InTexas,BrownhopesabuyerrevivestheRecord.Duringamajorwildfire,shesharedupdatesonFacebookbutlackedresourcestoreportdeeply.Sherealizesthecommunitydesperatelyneedsitsnewspaper.28.WhatwasthemainreasonfortheclosureofTheCanadianRecord?A.Laurie’sfather’sdeathin1993.B.Laurie’sdecisiontostepdownasaneditor.C.Increasingchallengesofmanagingthenewspaper.D.People’sgraduallackofinterestinlocalnews.29.Whatdoestheunderlinedwords“this‘newsdesert’trend”probablyrefertoinParagraph3?A.Thepoliticalviewsthatdividecommunities.B.ThecrucialroleoflocaljournalismintheU.S.C.ThespeedyshutdownoflocalnewspapersacrosstheU.S.D.Theunethicalpracticesthatleavecommunitieslessinformed.30.WhatcanweinferfromMeaghanParker’words?A.Environmentreportersarejoblessinthenearfuture.B.Environmentalissuesarecloselytiedtoourlives.C.Localpapershavewideraudiencesthannationalones.D.Weshouldcaremoreabouttheclimateandbiodiversityissues.31.Whatismainlydiscussedinthelastparagraph?A.Kleman’sconcernforlocalnews.
