21、e, he was introduced to middle class and better educated people.

22、for and by fans) during the late 1960s and eventually set up his own fanzine named Embryo. He continued to live with his parents for some time and worked on different jobs, including cleaning toilets. In 1971, Moore met Phyllis, whom he married some time later, and then had two daughters, Amber and

23、Leah. Also, during the 1970s, Moore became a cartoonist. His work began appearing in publications such as Sounds and NME.

24、Ballad of Halo Jones and D.R. & Quinch.Alan gained life-changing recognition when he started writing for the British magazine, Warrior. He worked on his most important series, Miracleman and V for Vendetta. He was awarded the British Eagle for Best Comics Writer awards for both 6these works in 1982

25、and 1983. The famous book V for Vendetta was also adapted for the screen in a successful Hollywood movie in 2005. His five American series was Saga of the Swamp Thing.

30、y of Alan Moores influence on contemporary comic writing styleCCities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally 7suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near

31、 a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold wa

32、s discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of

33、 miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold

34、, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed p

35、eople with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City its present popula

38、t?A. The rise and fall of a city. B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness. D. Tourism in Dawson.DSome people like to have a few close friends on Facebook, while others have hundreds whom they barely know. Researchers now believe that the number of friends you have can show how suc

39、cessful you are, and even how often you move.Researchers from the University of Virginia and the London Business School say the perfect number of friends actually depends on several socioeconomic factors, and varies from country to country. Shigehiro Oishi, a psychology professor from the University

40、 of Virginias college of Arts & Sciences, and Selin Kesebir of the London Business School explored the benefits of social networking strategies in two studies currently published in the journal Psychological Science.One reason that Americans may prefer a large social network, the researchers claim,

41、is because Americans move around a lot. Another important factor may be the economic conditions at a given time. Oishi and Ksesbir predicted that a broad, shallow networking strategy would be ideal for people living in a residentially (在居住条件上) mobile, economically favorable context. A narrow, deep n

42、etworking strategy, on the other hand, would be ideal if people tend to stay in one place and economic conditions arent as favorable.In the first study, they created a model that simulated （模拟）the benefits individuals received from their social network under various socioeconomic conditions. The res

43、earchers were able to simulate people who have different numbers of friends at different levels of friendship, and they were also able to account for the investment required by each type of friendship. As they predicted, they found that having a small social network with deep ties to friends is adva

44、ntageous when friends are not likely to move away and the economy is unstable.Oishi and Kesebir conducted the second study to investigate whether this pattern of results would hold up in the real world. They found 247 Americans to participate in an online survey through Amazons Mechanical Turk. The

45、survey was designed to 9parallel the computer simulation from the first study. The findings from the second study repeated those of the first study. In postcodes in which residents were stable and had relatively low incomes, participants who had a narrow, deep friendship strategy reported greater we

46、ll-being than those who had a broad shallow friendship strategy.32. Why do most Americans have a large social network?A. Because they often change the places they live.B. Because they enjoy travelling very much.C. Because of the cheap cost of network.D. Because of the need of their work.33. Accordin

47、g to the two studies, which of the following is the best for people who are economically unstable?A. Making a few close friends on Facebook.B. Making a lot of close friends on Facebook.C. Making a few shallow friends on FacebookD. Making a lot of shallow friends on Facebook.34. The purpose of the re

48、searchers conducting the second study is to _.A. discuss the benefits of making real friends onlineB. explore the possibilities of making real friends onlineC. attempt to explain the functions of a social networkD. prove whether their theory still works in real life35. Which of the following might b

49、e the best title for the passage?A. Why is Facebook popular in America?B. What are the benefits of making friends on Facebook?C. How you make friends on Facebook could say something about your life.D. The number of friends on Facebook could say something about your life.第二节 （共 5小题，每小题 2分，满分 10分） 根 据 短 文 内 容 ， 从 短 文 后 的 选 项 中 选 出 能 填 入 空 白 处 的 最 佳 选 项 ， 选 项 中 有 两 项 为 多 余 选项 。10There is a collection of positive habits that make a person so successful in class. 3
