　　“Dr. Papaderos, what is the meaning of life?”

　　The usual laughter followed, and people stirred to go. Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time, asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was.

　　“I will answer your question.”

　　Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket, he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror, about the size of a quarter. And what he said went like this:

　　 “When I was a small child, during the war, we were very poor and we lived in a remote village. One day, on the road, I found the broken pieces of a mirror. A German motorcycle had been wrecked in that place.

　　 I tried to find all the pieces and put them together, but it was not possible, so I kept only the largest piece. This one, and, by scratching it on a stone, I made it round. I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine—in deep holes and crevices（裂缝）and dark closets. It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find.

　　 I kept the little mirror, and, as I went about my growing up, I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game. As I became a man, I grew to understand that this was not just a child’s game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life. I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light. But light—truth, understanding, knowledge—is there, and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it.

　　I am a fragment（碎片）of a mirror whose whole design and shape I do not know. Nevertheless, with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world—into the black places in the hearts of men—and change some things in some people. Perhaps others may see and do likewise. This is what I am about. This is the meaning of my life.” 1. On hearing the author’s question, Dr. Papaderos __________ at first.

　　 A. laughed at his foolishness

　　B. wasn’t sure of the answer

　　 C. doubted his seriousness

　　D. wasn’t interested at all 2. How did Dr. Papaderos get the small round mirror when he was a child? A. He found it on the road and made it round. B. A dying German soldier gave him as a present. C. He chanced to find it in the street while playing. D. He put the broken pieces together and made it. 3. Why did Dr. Papaderos like the small round mirror so much as a child? A. Because he was too poor to afford other toys. B. Because it could shine the places where the sun couldn’t reach. C. Because he believed it would bring good luck to him. D. Because it told him a lot about what life really meant to him. 4. The underlined “metaphor” in the 7th paragraph most probably means _____ . A. symbol

　　B. source

　　C. light

　　D. purpose 5. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? A. A Special Game in the Childhood

　　B. A Broken Piece of Mirror C. Dr. Papaderos’ Experience

　　 D. The Meaning of Life

　　2016高考英语阅读理解集训阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Sure, it’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes that time you spend in the classroom more pleasant. And yes, it’s good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.

　　But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. Kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying.

　　As a kid in elementary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re able to take in lots of new and exciting information. Apart from that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, he or she is thrilled to be the person who’s giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place to teach!

　　Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren’t going well, they won’t learn as well and won’t enjoy being in class.

　　1. Paragraph 2 mainly talks about_______.

　　A. new materials learned from teachers

　　B. ways to develop relationship with teachers

　　C. benefits in getting along with teachers

　　D. avoiding problems happening around kids

　　2. What’s the writer’s attitude towards getting along with teachers?

　　A. Doubtful.

　　B. Objective.

　　C. Uncaring.

　　D. Favorable.

　　3. What can we know from the passage?

　　A. Kids are unable to understand lots of exciting information.

　　B. Kids are bullied while communicating with others in schools.

　　C. Kids will leave the class when not doing quite well with their teachers.

　　D. Kids will leave the class when not satisfied with teachers’ teaching methods.

　　4. The passage is most probably taken from______.

　　A. children’s literature

　　B. an education magazine

　　C. a science report

　　D. an advertisement

　　3D cinema has been around since the early 20th century, but Hollywood brought the technology back in 2007. Many thought it was just a trick to make more money. But then came Avatar, the first mustsee movie in 3D.

　　But since Avatar, 3D cinema has struggled. In_2010,_several_3D_movies_bombed_at_the_box_office. And by late 2010, some people said the technology was dead. Of course, that wasn't the first time Hollywood had struggled with new technology. Although sound was added to movies in the late 1920s, it took audiences time to get used to the new technology. But in the end, sound and colour became the standard. James Cameron, director of Avatar, thinks we're going through the same process with 3D.

　　Some say cinemas are charging too much for 3D movies. In the US, seeing a 3D movie can cost up to $7.5 more than seeing it in 2D.Also, a recent study at California State University finds audiences don't actually enjoy movies in 3D any more than in 2D.Walter Murch, a famous movie editor, wrote in 2011 that human beings have no ability to process 3D images. Watching a 3D movie confuses our brain and this is why some people get headaches.

　　But James Cameron disagrees. In fact, he recently predicted that in five years all movies will be in 3D.And there are signs that 3D is fighting back. More 3D movies were put on the market in 2017 than ever before. The Lion King 3D recently made over US $150 million at the box office, and Cameron's Titanic 3D made even more.

　　Who knows what the future holds for 3D? Steven Spielberg recently said, “I'm hoping 3D gets to a point where people notice it. Because then it just becomes another tool and helps tell a story.”

　　1．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 probably means that in 2010, 3D movies________．

　　A．were not successful

　　B．became popular

　　C．developed quickly

　　D．were of poor quality

　　2．The example of sound and colour is used mainly to show that________．

　　A．Hollywood tends to absorb what is new

　　B．3D technology takes time to be accepted

　　C．Hollywood struggles with new technology

　　D．high technology helps to make better movies

　　3．In Walter Murch's opinion, 3D movies________．

　　A．bring moviemakers great profits

　　B．are more expensive than 2D movies

　　C．do great harm to people's health

　　D．are unsuitable for people to watch

　　4．What can we learn from the text?

　　A．Avatar was the first 3D movie.

　　B．3D cinema has existed for years.

　　C．Titanic 3D has made the most money.

　　D．2017 witnessed the coming of 3D's time.

　　【要点综述】自从《阿凡达》采用3D影像技术获得巨大成功之后，全世界范围内掀起了一股波涛汹涌的3D热潮。本文就3D时代是否到来展开了讨论。

　　1．A　推理判断题。由本段中关键词struggled、dead和bombed可判断该句意为“票房失利”。故选A项。

　　2．B　推理判断题。根据第二段的“…that wasn't the first time Hollywood had struggled with new technology.”可知，作者用有声电影和彩色电影如何发展成为行业标准的例子来说明3D电影技术目前遭遇的尴尬境遇，指出其要被大众接受还需要时间。故选B项。

　　3．D　细节理解题。根据第三段“…that human beings have no ability to process 3D images. Watching a 3D movie confuses our brain and this is why some people get headaches.”可以判断出，在Walter Murch看来，3D影像画面不适合人们观看。故选D项。
