第一部分
Paparazzi
The term \\
1.The modern paparazzi take pictures of famous people in the hope of getting them in a positive situation and then making a great deal of money.( )(B)
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
C.
解析：根据第一段第二句及之后的描述“Modern day paparazzi take photographs of famous people，hoping to get them in an unflattering or compromising pose…”，可知如今专门追逐名人的摄影记者拍摄名人的照片，是为了捕捉到名人的糗事，从而把照片以高价卖给媒体。题干中描述的“getting them in a positive situation”与原文不符，因此有误。
2.Tom Cruise was pursued at high speed at the same place where Princess Diana died.( )(A)
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
C.
解析：文中分别从“Unnecessary risks，Invasion of privacy，Annoy”三方面讲述了狗仔队跟拍给名人的生活所带来的影响。Unnecessary risks部分第一个例子中指出“Tom Cruisehas been pursued at high speed through the tunnel in Paris where Princess Diana was kill—ed”，本题描述与之相符。
3.Alec Baldwin was charged with murder because of the paparazzi and was sentenced to 10 years’ imprisonment.( )(B)
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
C.
解析：Invasion of privacy标题下第一个例子指出Alec Baldwin打了一个偷拍者，结果被指控人身攻击而遭逮捕，但“was soon set free”，而非题干中描述的“被控谋杀而判10年监禁”。文中give sb．a black eye指“打某人一顿”。
4.George Clooney did not get his revenge on the paparazzi who was chased away by his pig.( )(B)
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
C.
解析：Annoy标题下给出了狗仔队故意惹怒George Clooney而拍下其愤怒的表情的例子，随后提到“However，the actor got his revenge on the paparazzi when…the photographer waschased away by Clooney’s pet Vietnamese pot–bellied pig”，可知题干中“did not get hisrevenge”表述有误。
5.Paparazzi’s behaviors add many unnecessary dangers, invade others’ privacy and annoy people.( )(A)
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
C.
解析：题干中“add many unnecessary dangers”，“invade others’privacy”，“annoy people”分别对应文中三个标题“Unnecessary risks”，“Invasion of privacy”，“Annoy”，因此该题关于狗仔队行为所带来负面影响的描述正确。

6.The festival Las Fallas begins from March 12th to 19th annually.( )(A)
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
C.
解析：第三段第一句指出“Las Fallas(the bonfire)explodes over Valencia every March from the12th to the 19th”，可知Las Fallas“火祭节”的时间为三月12号到三月19号。因此题干描述正确。
7.The Valencians spend the whole of the previous year to get organized, such as fund-raising, planning and building the monuments.( )(A)
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
C.
解析：第三段第二句提到“It takes the whole of the previous year to get organized…”，其中it指的是前句中的Las Fallas，并且第五段第二句指出“The whole of the previous year isspent fund-raising，planning and constructing the monuments…”，题干描述与之描述相一致。
8.Nowadays, before burning the waste material, the Valencians turn it into statues which are dressed up like famous pop stars.( )(B)
A. TRUE
B. FALSE
C.
解析：文章第五段主要讲述了现代的Valencians在点燃废料之前是如何处理的，该段首句提到这些塑像代表由纸板做成，代表着当地西班牙社会的方方面面(represent different aspects of modern Spanish society)，而非题干中的“把塑像装扮成流行歌星”。
9.Some of the monuments, which are constructed for the celebration, are well reserved after the festival.( )(B)
