高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

A stylish detective bursts into a secret villa and finds huge amounts of cash in fridges, closets and beds. Meanwhile, the villa’s owner, a government official, crawls on the floor and begs for his life.

This is the dramatic opening scene in China’s latest TV show, In the Name of the People, which made its remarkable first show last month. The series, about China’s anti-corruption (反贪) campaign, has attracted millions of viewers across the country. Some have compared it to the American political drama, House of Cards, which has a huge Chinese following.

In the Name of the People describes the internal power struggle of the Chinese Communist Party in the fictional city of Jingzhou, featuring stories about Chinese politics that are often talked about but never seen on mainstream television.

Viewers have been lapping it up. “This TV drama feels so real. It really cheers people up,” one viewer wrote on social media network Weibo. “I shed tears after watching this drama. This is the tumor of corruption that has been harming the people,” said another Weibo commenter. What makes In the Name of the People remarkable is not just how frankly it describes the ugly side of Chinese politics, but that it also has the blessing of the country’s powerful top prosecutors’ office (最高检察机关).

More than a decade ago, anti-corruption dramas suddenly disappeared from Chinese television. Authorities in 2004 had decided to restrict the production of such dramas as too many were of poor quality. But when Chinese President Xi Jinping took power in 2012 and launched a sweeping campaign against graft (受贿), anti-corruption got back in vogue. In the Name of the People is thus the latest piece, publicizing the government’s victory in its anti-corruption campaign.

At least it does a decent job in entertaining viewers. The author said he aimed to show that corrupt officials were not all “monsters” and were real people, but at the end of the day, the good people always win. “We all badly need heroes, upright law-enforcing heroes like Hou Liangping,” he said.

1.In paragraph 1, the description of the opening scene is used to _____.

A. make a comparison

B. show the style of this drama

C. draw reader’s attention

D. make a conclusion

2.In the Name of the People and House of Cards have something in common because _____.

A. they both have a large group of followers

B. they are both played on mainstream television

C. they both touch political and economic areas

D. they are both supported by the government

3.The purpose of this text is to _____.

A. show different opinions on In the Name of the People

B. analyze government’s policy of anti-corruption

C. compare In the Name of the People with House of Cards

D. introduce the latest TV series In the Name of the People

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. China Won Victory in Anti-corruption Campaign

B. China embraces TV Corruption Drama

C. How Do TV Series Attract Viewers?

D. Why Are Corruption Dramas Popular?

At the beginning of every year we promise ourselves we will live a healthier life, and exercise more. The year tarts with the best of intentions, but many times we are unable to keep up with very high goals. Good news is that a healthy lifestyle is achievable and it's all about making small changes that make a difference.

News on healthy lifestyles says that the key is moderation and consistency. There are so many health and well-being products out there in the market promising many things. And although many may be true, select carefully.

The basics of a healthy lifestyle is maintaining a balanced diet and doing regular exercise. By eating well, it means really to make sure you include plenty of vegetables and fruit preferably in season in your diet, avoid fried and junk foods and foods high in sugar as well as processed foods. Eating fresh homemade meals rather than ready-made meals which are high in salt and sugar is always the better option. Reducing alcohol intake, drinking plenty of water and supplementing your diet with healthy snacks like nuts and seeds.

For external care choose natural skin care products and hair care oil. Natural beauty care involves using natural moisturizers like Argan oil, Coconut oil and Sweet Almond oil. These nourish the skin far more than counter creams full of chemicals. Skin reflects what we put inside of us, so a healthy diet with plenty of greens and healthy protein will make your skin brighter.

Of course exercise is essential but the key is regular and consistent exercise. So walking three times a week for 45 minutes is much more beneficial than a binge workout once a week.

1.Why can't we keep up with our goals according to the passage?

A. The goals are too high to achieve.

B. We have a large amount of work to do.

C. We are naturally lazy and never do exercise.

D. The reason isn't given in the passage.

2.It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

A. we should think twice before choosing heath products

B. the key to a healthy lifestyle is getting enough sleep

C. food high in salt and sugar is the best choice for us

D. we should walk once a day for a healthy lifestyle

3.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. How to achieve our goals.

B. The best way to take exercise.

C. How to make a difference in life.

D. Suggestions for a healthy lifestyle.
