答案　C

解析　推理判断题。根据表格中的Ask for a Corner Room部分中的“When you check in at a hotel，ask if there’s a corner room available.These are usually larger and quieter for the same price as ones in the middle of the hall.”可知，同样价格的角落的房子是比位于中间的房子要大一些，要安静一点。所以花同等价格的钱，因为位置不同，房子的大小及环境也不同。故选C项。

B．Because there are more rooms available.

C．Because hotels make it a rule to offer upgrades at that time.

(2017·海头中学高二上检测)

One of India’s top engineering schools has restricted Internet access in its hostels，saying addiction to surfing，gaming and blogging was affecting students’ performance，making them reclusive(孤独的) and even suicidal.

Authorities at the elite Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them.

“Now，a student doesn’t even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet，” said Prakash Gopalan，dean of student affairs.

“The old hostel culture of camaraderie and socializing among students is gone.This is not healthy in our opinion.”

IIT­Mumbai，with about 5,000 students，is one of the seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world.They are also a talent pool for global technology giants.

But their exacting(苛刻的) curriculum，tough competition and reclusive campus lifestyle have taken a toll on students.

Depressive and dysfunctional lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students，and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years.

Students have unlimited free Internet access in their hostel rooms to help them in their studies，but many also use it to surf，chat，download movies and music，blog and for gaming.

“Starting Monday，Internet access will be barred between 11 p．m.and 12：30 p．m.at IIT­Mumbai’s 13 hostels to encourage students to sleep early and to try and force them out of their ‘shells’，” Gopalan said.

“There has been a decline in academic performance and also participation in sporting，cultural and social activities has gone down，” he said.

But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated.

“Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby(摇篮曲) to go to sleep，” said Rajiv，an electronics student.

19．In the past，students were not limited to surf the Internet because their school .

A．wanted them to improve their studies

B．thought it convenient for them to keep in touch with their friends and parents

C．had few interesting activities

D．wished to improve the students’ ability of communication

答案　A

解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第五段中的“Students have unlimited free Internet access in their hostel rooms to help them in their studies”可知，在过去，学校让学生自由上网，主要是为了帮助他们的学习。

20．Many students at the IIT slept during classes mainly because they the night before.

A．stayed up to prepare their lessons

B．took part in social activities

C．went out to see the film

D．were absorbed in surfing and slept late

答案　D

解析　细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，学生无限制地上网、打游戏、写博客影响了他们在校的表现(affecting students’ performance)，故学生上课睡觉是因为他们前一天晚上熬夜上网。

21．We can infer from the passage that .

A．some students are not satisfied with the school’s new regulation

B．many students can’t go to sleep without listening to a lullaby

C．many students don’t think surfing the Internet have anything to do with their poor academic performance

D．the IIT is a very common engineering school in India

答案　A

解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated.”可知，学校的新规定并没有得到所有学生的认同。

22．The underlined phrase “gone down” probably means “ ”．

A．been carried out B．become familiar

C．become popular D．become known

答案　C

解析　词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段可知，这一举措并没有引起很好的反响，学生们说他们不喜欢自己的生活受管制。go down well得到好的反响。

C

An Invisible Smile

Mr Dawson was an old grouch(脾气坏的人)，and everyone in town knew it.Kids wouldn’t go into his yard to pick a delicious apple，even off the ground，because old Dawson，they said，would come after you with his ball bullet gun.

One Friday,12­year­old Janet was going to stay all night with her friend Amy.They had to walk by Dawson’s house on the way to Amy’s house，but as they got close，Janet saw him sitting on his front porch(门廊) and suggested they cross over to the other side of the street.Like most of the children，she was scared of the old man because of the stories she’d heard about him.

Amy told her not to worry，for Mr Dawson wouldn’t hurt anyone.Still，Janet was growing more nervous with each step closer to the old man’s house.When they got close enough，Dawson looked up with his usual frown(皱眉)，but when he saw it was Amy，a broad smile changed his entire face as he said，“Hello，Miss Amy.I see you’ve got a little friend with you today.”

Amy smiled back and told him Janet was staying overnight and they were going to listen to music and play games.Dawson told them that sounded fun，and offered them each a fresh apple picked off his tree.They gladly accepted.Dawson had the best apples in town.

When they got out of Dawson’s earshot，Janet asked Amy，“Everyone says he’s the meanest(吝啬) man in town.How come he was so nice to us？”

Amy explained that when she first started walking past his house，he wasn’t very friendly and she was afraid of him，but she pretended he was wearing an invisible smile and so she always smiled back at him.It took a while，but one day he half­smiled back at her.

After some more time，he started smiling real smiles and then started talking to her.Just a “hello” at first，then more.She said he always offers her an apple now，and is always very kind.

“An invisible smile？” questioned Janet.

“Yes，” answered Amy，“my grandma told me that if I pretended I wasn’t afraid and pretended he was smiling an invisible smile at me and I smiled back at him，that .Grandma says smiles can spread.”

If we remember what Amy’s grandma said，that everyone wears an invisible smile，we too will find that most people can’t resist(抵制) our smiles after a while.

23．Kids were scared of Mr Dawson because .

A．he didn’t allow them to get into his yard

B．he would beat them with a gun

C．he was mean with his apples

答案　D

解析　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Kids wouldn’t go into his yard to pick a delicious apple，even off the ground，because old Dawson，they said，would come after you with his ball bullet gun.”及下文Amy告诉Janet的关于她与老人之间的故事可知，老人对人一直很冷淡。故选D。

24．When Amy and Janet were getting closer to Mr Dawson’s house，he .

A．frowned as usual

B．stopped smiling

C．grew nervous

D．became excited

答案　A

解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“When they got close enough，Dawson looked up with his usual frown(皱眉)...”可知选A。

A．he would get angry with any passer­by

B．he would give in to have a forced smile

C．sooner or later he would really smile

D．he would pick a fallen apple to share it

答案　C

解析　推理判断题。根据上文的“我假装不害怕，假装他在冲我笑，我也朝着他笑”和下文的“奶奶说微笑是可以传播的。”说明Amy认为老人迟早会露出真正的笑容。故选C。

26．We can infer from the passage that .

A．Dawson had the best apples in town

B．it was Grandma’s advice that helped bring Amy and Mr Dawson together

C．when Amy first started walking past Mr Dawson’s house，he was very friendly to Amy

D．the reason why Amy and Janet got fresh apples was that Janet always wore an invisible smile

答案　B

解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的内容可知，是Amy奶奶的话鼓励她先冲着老人微笑，从而感化了老人，老人也开始对她笑。故选B。

27．Which of the following is the theme that the passage conveys?

A．Practice makes perfect.

B．Great minds think alike.

C．Actions speak louder than words.

D．Smile can shorten the distance between people.

答案　D
