Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
D
Celebrities(名人) are everywhere nowadays: on TV, in magazines, online. People think and talk about them a lot. Is this harmless fun or is it bad for us? How many people are truly crazy about modern idols(偶像)? And on the other side of the coin, is being famous harmful to the celebrities?
Studies suggest that most of the teenagers do not really idolize celebrities. Researchers have found three kinds of fans.
About 15% of young people have a social interest. They love chatting about their favorite celebrities with friends and this does not appear to do any harm.
Another 5% feel that they have a strong-personal relationship with a celebrity. Sometimes they see them as their soul-mates(心靈伴侶) and find that they are often thinking about them, even when they don't want to. These people are easy to feel depressed. If girls in this group idolize a woman star with a body they consider to be perfect, they are more likely to be unhappy with their own bodies.
That leaves 2% of young people with an unreasonable interest. They might spend several thousand pounds on a paper plate the celebrity had used, or they would do something lawbreaking. These people are in most danger of being seriously upset.
What about the celebrities themselves? Some researchers in the USA did a study to find out the effect of being famous on these people. The study showed celebrities showed off too much and they were very narcissistic(自戀的). The researchers looked at 200 celebrities, 200 young adults with MBAs (Masters in Business Administration), who were a group known for being narcissistic, and some general population. As the researchers expected, the celebrities were much more narcissistic than the MBAs and both of these two groups were a lot more narcissistic than the general population.
Four kinds of celebrities were included in the study. The most narcissistic were the ones who had become famous through reality TV shows. Next came comedians(喜劇演員) and then actors.
The least narcissistic were musicians. One interesting result was that there was no connection between narcissism and the length of time the celebrity had been famous.
So, what can we learn from this? Most people who are very successful or famous are usually self-centered and are likely to act only for their own benefits. As we can see from celebrity magazines, they also often feel lonely and even hopeless. They make harmful role models.

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）A
（2）A
（3）D
（4）D
【解析】短文大意：名人如今無處不在。研究表明，大多數(shù)的青少年并不真正崇拜明星。大多數(shù)非常成功或著名的人通常以自我為中心。從名人雜志我們可以看到，他們也常常感到孤獨(dú)，甚至絕望。
（1）A 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)下一句 If girls in this group idolize a woman star with a body they consider to be perfect, they are more likely to be unhappy with their own bodies.（如果在這群女孩崇拜的女明星的身體他們認(rèn)為是完美的，他們更有可能對自己的身體感到不滿。）的描述可推知?jiǎng)澗�詞的意思是“悲傷，不愉快”，所以選A。
（2）A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中The most narcissistic were the ones who had become famous through reality TV shows.可知最自戀的人是那些通過電視真人秀已經(jīng)著名的。所以選A。
（3） D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Studies suggest that most of the teenagers do not really idolize celebrities.和That leaves 2% of young people with an unreasonable interest. They might spend several thousand pounds on a paper plate the celebrity had used, or they would do something lawbreaking. These people are in most danger of being seriously upset.的描述可知大多數(shù)的青少年并不真正崇拜明星，只有很少的一伙青少年對名人瘋狂癡迷，所以選D。
（4）D 主旨大意題。仔細(xì)讀短文可知作者旨在告訴青少年不要把名人當(dāng)作偶像。所以選D。
