Question

11．Lost in the Post    How would you feel if the letter you penned carefully and posted to your favorite star ended up in the recycling bin？That's where unopened fan mail sent to singer Taylor Swift was found in Nashville．（36）GSwift's management said it was an accident，but dealing with piles of letters is a burden for most public figures．According to th e BBC reporter Jon Kelly，at the height of his fame，Johnny Depp was said to receive up to 10，000 letters a week．（37）CThe dawn of the digital age in which public figures with a Twitter account can be messaged directly has made the process easier．The White House says it deals with 20，000 messages addressed to President Barack Obama each day．
Some celebrities don't want letters．In 2008，Beatles drummer Ringo Starr said that he would throw them out because he was too busy．（38）ARobert Pattinson，star of the Twilight films，claims that he reads tonnes and tonnes of letters from fans，which takes up almost all his free time．
Many artists，however，outsource（外包） the task of opening，reading and replying．Sylvia"Spanky"Taylor，58，has run a service in California that does just that since 1987．（39）FMost letters are simply declarations of affection and admiration，she says．A few ask for money．A small number contain threats which require her to contact the celebrity's security team and law enforcement．
The biggest problem for Taylor is working out how to deal with the correspondence（通信）．Presents such as soft toys are sent to local hospitals，and most of the letters just get shredded and recycled．
（40）DFor some，this is enough，according to Lynn Zubernis，an expert at West Chester University．She says that the relationship between fan and celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former but it comes from a deeply-rooted human need for community．

Answer 1

分析 本文以著名的歌手Taylor Swift的粉絲給她寫的信被發(fā)現(xiàn)在回收桶開始，引發(fā)了名人如何處理粉絲來信的事情．

解答 GCAFD
36．G 上下文語境．本文以著名的歌手Taylor Swift的粉絲給她寫的信被發(fā)現(xiàn)在回收桶開始，引出了下文的議論，根據(jù)文意并結(jié)合選項的意思，可知選G合理．
37．C 上下文語境．根據(jù)本空格前的一句，Johnny Depp was said to receive up to 10，000 letters a week可知，一天收到了將近10000封粉絲的來信，故可推斷后一句說的應(yīng)該是這些信將會如何被處理好，可知應(yīng)選C．
38．A上下文語境． 根據(jù)前面一句中Some celebrities don't want letters出現(xiàn)的some，可知此句中會出現(xiàn)others，因為這是一個句型，表示有的名人…其他的人…，由此分析可知A為正確答案．
39．F 上下文語境．根據(jù)此題前面的一句話Sylvia"Spanky"Taylor，58，has run a service in California that does just that since 1987可知，Sylvia開辦了一項服務(wù)專門替名人看粉絲的來信，所以下句為她和她的同事們一個月要替26個名人看信，可知此題應(yīng)選F．
40．D 由于此空格是文章最后一段的首句，所以根據(jù)該段的內(nèi)容West Chester University的一位專家說名人和粉絲之間的關(guān)系可能只存在于粉絲的心中，但卻來自于深深扎根的人類需求，所以這種通信是被認(rèn)可的，故答案為D．．

點(diǎn)評 本文是一篇選句填空閱讀，題目主要考查上下文內(nèi)容聯(lián)系以及文章內(nèi)容理解．做題時學(xué)生應(yīng)仔細(xì)閱讀原文，把握文章主要內(nèi)容，聯(lián)系文章上下文內(nèi)容并結(jié)合所給選項含義，從中選出正確答案，一定要做到有理有據(jù)，切忌胡亂猜測．
