答案与解析：

本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。小说家劳伦斯•诺莫夫在北卡莱纳大学教堂山区教文学创作时发现了学生对文学的无知，他在饭桌上将这件烦心事告知了他的朋友，他的朋友们也讲述了他们遭到的类似的事情，并分析了相关原因。最后作者发出感慨：在这个万事都值得知道的世界，再没有什么真的值得去知道了。

1.D　小说家劳伦斯•诺莫夫在北卡莱纳大学教堂山区教文学创作时，“问”(ask)学生有没有“读过”(read)杰克•克鲁亚克。help 帮助，greet 问候，teach 教授，均不合句意。

2.A　结合上题的解析可知，此处是……有没有“读过”(read)杰克•克鲁亚克。用read符合语境，而recognize 辨认，visit 拜访，write 写，均不合句意。

3.C　没人举手，“然后”(then)他又问……then表示递进关系，符合语境。而but表转折关系，or表选择关系，so表因果关系，均不合句意。

4.B　形容学生们脸上茫然的“表情”应用expressions。其他三项puzzles 困惑，smiles 微笑，feelings情感，都是表情的具体形式，不符合语境。

5.A　诺莫夫开始“描述”(describe)这个文学界狂人的传奇故事。draw 画，show 展现，paint 刷油漆，均不合语境。

6.C　有个学生提出，他以前有个老师跟此人一样“疯狂”(crazy)。crazy与上文的wild吻合。

7.A　学生说“他”(he)不知道。此处与上文的人称要一致且由下文the young man replied...可推知是位男生。

8.B　你知道我的“名字”(name)吗?根据上文的暗示Naumoff asked the professor's name以及下文的...the name of the person teaching the course可知。

9.C　我想很多学生“选修”(take)我的课只是为了拿学分……take one's course 选修某人的课。其他动词搭配无此含义。

10.D　有的学生会连授课老师的名字都懒得“弄清楚”(find out)，这也实在令人“失望”(disappointed)。excited 兴奋的，interested 感兴趣的，pleased 高兴的，均不合语境。

11.A　结合上题解析知此处选finding out。look for 寻找，put up 张贴，point to 指向，均不合句意。

12.B　“餐桌上”(at the dinner)其他北卡莱纳大学的教授们也开始讲述自己的遭遇。根据文章首句的信息Over dinner a few weeks ago可知，这些教授们是在餐桌上谈论此事的。

13.C　教授们感慨着“校园”(campus)内好奇心(的缺失)是多么令人不安。campus符合上下文语境。而train 火车，bus 公交车，literature 文学，均不合语境。

14.D　他们指出，这种无知并不“新鲜”(new)。old 旧的，short 短的，long 长的，均不合句意。

15.A　但在过去，“无知”(ignorance)往往让人惭愧并催人奋进。curiosity 好奇心，knowledge 知识，gaps 间隙，均不符合句意。

16.A　过去的学生更会由于不知道某些东西而“感到苦恼”(be troubled)，更会去刻苦学习以弥补差距。moved 被感动的，touched 受感动，感激，激动，respected 被尊重的，均不合句意。

17.C　“而”(however)如今，像一位书评家所说的……therefore 因此，otherwise 否则，anyway 无论如何，均不合句意。

18.D　像一位书评家所说的，“问题是他们对此还满不在乎。”用care about表示“关心，在乎”，符合语境。go through 经历、经受，take in 接受、吸收，meet with 偶遇、遭受，均不合句意。

19.C　我们的世界越来越复杂，掌握任何一门有“特殊”(particular)规律的学科——如计算机、人寿保险，医学——所需要知道的信息都呈几何级数增长。common 普通的，simple 简单的，easy 容易的，均与下文的...has expanded geometrically不吻合。

20.B　我们被迫要“成为”(become)专家……用become符合语境。act 扮演……角色，call 称呼，want 想要，均不合句意。

Ⅲ.阅读理解

Among various programmes，TV talk shows have covered every inch of space on daytime television.And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one is different in style.But no two shows are more opposite in content，while at the same time standing out above the rest，than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.

Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “rubbish talk”.The contents on his show are as surprising as can be.For example，the show takes the ever­common talk show titles of love，sex，cheating and hate，to a different level.Clearly，the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society，yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people's lives.

Like Jerry Springer，Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top.But Oprah goes in the opposite direction.The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life.Contents are from teaching your children lessons，managing your work week，to getting to know your neighbors.

Compared to Oprah，the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being poured into society.Jerry ends every show with a “final word”.He makes a small speech about the entire idea of the show.Hopefully，this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.

Clean as it is，the Oprah show is not for everyone.The show's main viewers are middle­class Americans.Most of these people have time，money，and ability to deal with life's tough problems.Jerry Springer，on the other hand，has more of a connection with the young adults of society.These are 18­to­21­year­olds whose main troubles in life include love，relationship，sex，money and drug.They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned through the show's exploitation.

1. Compared with other TV talk shows，both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are ________.

A.more interesting  B.unusually popular

C.more detailed  D.more formal

答案与解析：B　推理判断题。根据文中的“Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of‘rubbish talk’”和“...Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its top.”两句可以看出这两个电视谈话节目主持人受到了观众不寻常的欢迎。

2.Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear unpleasant，people who watch the shows ________.

A.remain interested in them

B.are ready to face up to them

C.remain cold to them

D.are willing to get away from them

答案与解析：A　推理判断题。文中的“Clearly，the Jerry Springer show is about the dark side of society，yet people are willing to eat up the troubles of other people's lives.”说明观众对于人们生活上的难处还是很感兴趣的，因为它确实比较真实地反映了人们日常生活中的实事，容易引起观众的共鸣。

3.Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?

A.A new type of robot.

B.Nation hatred.

C.Family income planning.

D.Street accident.

答案与解析：C　推理判断题。文中的“The show is mainly about the improvement of society and different quality of life.”说明这一档节目报道的都是社会的正面。而A项是科技报道，属不带感情色彩的客观报道。B、D属负面的东西，所以此题答案选C。

4.We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows

________.

A.have become the only ones of its kind

B.exploit the weaknesses in human nature

C.appear at different times of the day

D.attract different people

答案与解析：D　推理判断题。“The show's main viewers are middle­class Americans.”和“Jerry Springer，on the other hand，has more of a connection with the young adults of society.”暗示这两个节目分别适应不同年龄、不同层次的观众需要。
