8、the work to deal with lost tickets解析 1B參考the airline companies are doing everything they can bring forward cost-saving ticketless flight，從這句話來看，無票飛行能節(jié)約錢。 2C選項D錯的原因是：向無票乘客提供短途(miles)免費游是部分航空公司的舉措，不是所有航空公司所為。只對?？吞峁┻@種免費游，不是對任何乘客。 3A這里的paper lovers指喜歡持票乘機的人。 4D雖然文章中有這樣一句話And there are rising punishments

9、 for paper lovers，但這不是航空公司所說的話，懲罰持票者也不是航空公司的目的，故不選B。文章的最后一句話說出了機票掛失提價的真正目的，也就是為了填補因為掛失而查找失票所造成的花費，這與選項D一致?？碱}2(典型例題，E)HOW TO BOOK Booking opens for Beckett Shorts on 8 September.

22、basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, aged 4 and 18 months. Having a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents, and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement. But it really doesnt have to be that way, said Anac

23、lerio. Last summer, Anaclerio and her friend Jill Carlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year-old, founded a home party-planning business called A Party in a Basket. Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while th

24、ey take care of everything. Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created (制作) 10 ready-to-use home packages. Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket. Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10, Anaclerio said,

25、 and theyre very interactive (互動) and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject. For example, at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream cre- ations. The standard $ 200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with

26、 invitations, gifts, games and prizes, paper goods, a party planner and the like. For more information, call Anaclerio at 708 -864 -6584 or Carlisle at 708 -205 -9141.1. The main purpose of writing this text is. A. to share infomation about party planning. B. to introduce the joys of a birthday part

27、y. C. to announce a business plan. D. to sell a service 2. The most important idea behind the kind of party planning described here is that A. it brings parents and children closer together B. guests play a part in the preparation of a party C. parents are spared the trouble of sending invitations D

28、. it provides a subject of conversation 3. What does the underlined word hassle (Paragraph 1) probably mean? A. A party designed by specialists.B. A demand made by guests. C. A situation causing difficulty or trouble. D. A demand made by guests. 4. Which of the following is most likely to be a party

29、 planner.?解析 1D本題考查考生確定所讀信息性質(zhì)的能力。從短文的最后一個句子可以看出這是一個廣告或提供服務(wù)信息類的文體。 2A.本題考查考生依據(jù)文中信息判斷推理的能力。解本題可以用排除法。首先看B項：文中只講到他們安排的節(jié)目有“互動性(interactlve)”，用at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses這個例子來說明這一點，但沒有提到在準(zhǔn)備過程中需要客人參與，故排除此項。C項：文中的相關(guān)信息在最后一段：The standardincludes a basket filledand the li

30、ke。正確的理解為：他們提供的服務(wù)都放在一只籃子里。里面有請?zhí)?、禮物和有關(guān)的東西。這只籃子is delivered to the home，但沒有說發(fā)放請?zhí)彩撬麄兊氖?，故父母還不能免做此事，因此排除此項答案。D項中的subiecl of conversation也是沒有依據(jù)的。文中只提到they build a sense of drama based on a subject(他們要制造出一種圍繞某個主題的刺激的效果來)，沒有提到conversation。A項的相關(guān)支撐信息在文章的第二段：Fheir goal is to help parents and children share in

31、 the fun part of party planning，。3C本題考查考生根據(jù)上下文猜詞的能力。與hassle相呼應(yīng)的句子是下文的 it can bea basket of fun關(guān)鍵詞為fun“一次生日聚會不應(yīng)該是做起來很吃力很麻煩的事，而應(yīng)該是很開心的?！県assle與fun應(yīng)該是一對反義詞。 4A本題考查考生根據(jù)文中和畫面信息確定某物性質(zhì)的能力。從畫面看，A幅上有具體的計劃：有被邀請人的名單，安排的節(jié)目等；B、C為禮物；D項是一張“菜單(menll)”；文章的最后一段中提及planner與gifts，paper goods等都放在籃子里，所以planner不可能再指代gift了；

32、再根據(jù)構(gòu)詞法planner應(yīng)該與plan有關(guān)，所以A項更符合?？碱}5(NMET 典型例題Cannes will rock to the sound of a cancan dance this year when Moulin Rouge by the Aus- tralian director Baz Luhrmann opens the French film festival (電影節(jié)) in May. The musical stars Nicole Kidman as a singer, and John Leguizamo as the artist Henri de Toulou

33、se-Lautrec. It will be competing for the Palme dOr, the festivals top prize. The festival runs to May 21.

Loretta Lynn is being treated for a very bad cold in Tennessee and will miss several appear- ances. The country singer, 65, was admitted to a hospital near her home in Hurricane Mills. She i

35、s in good condition, but the doctors are watching her closely, a spokeswoman said. The French-Algerian singer Enrico Macias was named a United Nations peace messenger. Enrico joins eight other people who act as goodwill envoys (使者) for the United Nations, amongthem are the writer Elie Wiesel and the

36、 basketball player Magic Johnson.1. We can learn from the text that Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec is. A. a figure in a film B. a dancer in a show C. a country singer D. a prize winner 2. We know from the text that. A. Moulin Rouge won the top prize in a film festival B. Loretta Lynn is under the doctors

37、 care C. eight people serve as the UN goodwill envoys D. Fred Biery was Tommy Lee Jones assistant 3. This text most probably appears in. A. a book on film stars B. a film review in a magazine C. a newspaper D. a notice 解析 1A文章第一段的首句介紹的是一部電影，接著介紹人物及所扮演的角色，用as引出。 2BA項中講到Moulin Rouge是這屆法國電影節(jié)的首場展播電影，并非獲

38、頭獎(top prize)；C項中eight people的描述有錯誤，因為文中出現(xiàn)了Enrico joins eight other people who act as goodwill envoys，表明不止八位；D項中FredBiery，是aUSDistrict Judge who performed the service(指婚禮)，并非是assistant；而B的正確可以從第三段可以看出。3CA項abookon thefilmstars是一本書，不可能寫得這么簡潔；B項中a film re- view是指專門對一部電影所作的評論；D項指“布告，通知”，也不符合；而C項指報紙上的某一專

54、or new countries joining the European Union, and older ones getting used to their bur- gundy passports, becoming Europeans is a bit like marrying into a large, eccentric (古怪的) family. Europeans have a lot in common but it is their differences, not their similarities, which attract the attention of .

55、sociologists (社會學(xué)家) and market researchers, and are more interest- ing.35% of Germans live alone; but only 9% of Spaniards. Perhaps this explains why Spaniards lead Europe in the habit of going out for a drink.The British attend more adult evening classes than anyone else in Europe, and the Bel- gia

56、ns least. So it cant just be the dark evenings. There are no figures on how many Britons go for a drink afterwards. If there were, they might be up at the top with Spain!The British think black cats are lucky. Every other European country regards them un- lucky.The Dutch and Germans are the greatest

57、 caravanners (活動房居住者), but the Germans like bigger beds in their caravans.The French are the most athletic Europeans. Next come the Dutch. But the Belgians, just over the border, play fewest sports.The Germans spend twice as much on heating as the Spaniards. Well, of course they do, its colder.Dutch

If you hate commut- ing, go and live in the Netherlands, where journeys to work are shorter than anywhere else.The amount of direct eye-contact between st

Sharing a lift is torture (折磨) for both the British and the Swedish.No European countries really agree with any other about how to make good coffee. All of them are different. There are exceptions (例外) to all thes
