高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Letters as a way of communication have long given way to phone calls and WeChat messages.

But a TV show, Letters Alive, is helping bring this old way to keep in touch back into the present.

Letters Alive took its idea from a UK program with a similar name, Letters Live, which was first shown in 2013. Both shows feature famous actors and actresses, but there is no gossip , no eye-catching visual effects or any regular showbiz (演艺圈) activities. Instead, it’s just one person walking up to a microphone and reading a letter.

But these are not just any letters. They are selected from a wide time span and a diverse range of subjects. There is, for example, a passionate letter that famous painter Huang Yongyu wrote to playwright Cao Yu 30 years ago to criticize his lack of creativity. There is also a heartfelt note from Spring and Autumn Period written by two ordinary young soldiers to their elder brother to report their lives in the war zone.

Every letter is like a small piece of history. By hearing them being read, it’s as if we are being sent back in time to experience a moment that we would otherwise never have had the chance to.

“Letters Live makes us pause and imagine the lives behind the letters,” UK actor Benedict Cumberbatch, one of the readers on the UK show, told The Guardian. “It allows people from all ages and all walks of life to experience a moment of time in someone else’s life for a brief moment.”

Compared to published texts, letters also come with a personal touch.

One example from Letters Live was a note of thanks from the mother of a dying child to JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books. It read: “Mrs Rowling, Cancer threatened to take everything from my daughter, and your books turned out to be the castle we so desperately needed to hide in.”

According to Guan Zhengwen, the director of Letters Alive, it is this kind of humanity behind every letter that strikes a chord (引发共鸣) with the audience. It is also what made the show a big hit in China ever since its first episode aired on Dec 5.

“It’s a thing of the past that entertainment shows establish themselves only with pretty faces,” Guan told Sohu News. “Showbiz is starting to switch to a focus on wisdom and intelligence.

1.What do you know about the TV show Letters Alive from this passage?

A. Any letters can be read in this TV show.

B. It is exactly the same with a UK program Letters Live.

C. The program brings the old way of writing letters back to life.

D. Much gossip of celebrities and eye-catching visual effects lie in the program.

2.What effect do letters have according to the audience?

A. They help cure a dying child of her cancer.

B. They make people forget their past experience.

C. They reflect the whole history of the world.

D. They allow people to experience others ‘life and a personal touch.

3.Why is the TV show Letters Alive very popular according to its director?

A. It features famous actors and actresses.

B. People can find many regular showbiz activities.

C. Letters have been completely replaced by phone calls and WeChat messages.

D. The humanity behind every letter makes the audience experience the same feelings as its writer.

4.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Pretty faces still play an important role in showbiz.

B. Showbiz is starting to centre on wisdom and intelligence.

C. JK Rowling provided a lot of books for a girl suffering from cancer.

D. The painter Huang Yongyu and the playwright Caoyu weren’t good friends.

My house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also made out of software.

If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN （个人身份号码）to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.

Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.

The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.

I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.

I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them?”

1.What does the passage mainly discuss?

2.What’s the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph?

3.The writer’s new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _____.

4.What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?

5.What can’t be done in the writer’s new house?
