【題目】In Canada and the United States, people enjoy entertaining (請(qǐng)客) at home. They often invite friends over for a meal, a party, or just for coffee and conversation.

Here are the kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their home:

“ Would you like to come over for dinner on Saturday night? ”

“Hey, we're having a party on Friday. Can you come ? ”

To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept(接受), or say you're sorry and give an excuse(借口):

“Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like me to come?” or “ Oh, sorry. I've tickets for a movie.” Sometimes, however, people use expressions(措辭)that sound like invitations, but which are not real invitations(邀請(qǐng)). For example:

“ Please come over for a drink sometime? ”

“ Why not get together for a party sometime? ”

“Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?”

They are really just polite ways of ending a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't tell time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly. To reply to expressions like these, people just say: “Sure, that would be nice!” or “OK. Yes, thanks.” So next time when you hear what sounds like an invitation. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?

【1】Which of the following is a real invitation?

A. "If you're free, let's go for a drink sometime."

B. "Please go to the cinema with me some day."

C. "Would you like to have a cup of tea with us sometime?"

D. "I've two tickets here. Can you go to the concert with me?"

【2】If people say "Let's get together for lunch some day", you just say“_______".

A. That's great. I'll be there on time.

B. That would be nice

C. Oh, sorry. I'm very busy.

D. How about this weekend?.

【3】 People use "not real invitation" to show that_______.

A. they're trying to be friendly

B. they're trying to be helpful

C. they're trying to make friends with others

D. they haven't got ready for a party yet

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】A

【解析】

試題分析：這篇文章介紹了在美國(guó)和加拿大人們請(qǐng)客時(shí)候的一些禮節(jié)。文章還列舉了哪些語(yǔ)言是真正的邀請(qǐng)，哪些是出于禮貌和友好只是象征性的邀請(qǐng)；還告訴我們針對(duì)不同的邀請(qǐng)應(yīng)該如何回應(yīng)。

【1】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章信息They are not real invitations because they don't tell time or date.可知，沒有具體時(shí)間和日期的邀請(qǐng)不是真正的邀請(qǐng)。故ABC項(xiàng)都是出于禮貌的，不是真正的邀請(qǐng)；只有D項(xiàng)是真正的邀請(qǐng)。故選D。

【2】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章信息可知，"Let's get together for lunch some day"不是真正的邀請(qǐng)，to reply to expressions like these, people just say: "Sure, that would be nice!" or "OK. Yes, thanks." 故選B。

【3】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章信息They just show that the person is trying to be friendly.可知，人們發(fā)出這樣的邀請(qǐng)只是為了表示友好。故選A。

【題目】 Imagine the situation. You are driving along in a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device（裝置） which uses satellites to find the user’s position. It can find your position to within 20 meters. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.

GPS, which means Global Positioning System（全球定位系統(tǒng)）, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in you pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.

There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. the second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.

Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate（精確的）. There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.GPS

B. a GPS can’t be put into a watch

C. a GPS can help you start your car

D. the GPS are becoming more and more expensive

【3】The underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 means “__________”.

A. Receivers B. GPS devices

C. Satellites D. Ground stations

【4】The passage is mainly about ____________.

A. The history of the GPS B. the introduction of GPS

C. the shape of the GPS D. the three parts of the GPS

【5】What can we infer（推斷） from the passage?

【題目】Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall, England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鳴曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.

Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesn’t even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.

Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me ---I hear the notes and can bear them in mind---each and every note,” says Samuel.

Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece that is so difficult that many professional(專業(yè)的) pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently,” It’s all about super memory---I guess I have that gift.”

However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.

Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.

【1】What is special about Samuel Osmond?

A. He has a gift for writing music.

B. He can write down the note he hears.

C. He is a top student at the law school.

D. He can play the musical piece he hears.

【2】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Samuel chose law against the wish of his parents.

B. Samuel planned to be a lawyer rather than a musician.

C. Samuel thinks of himself as a man of great musical ability.

D. Samuel studies law and music on the advice of his teachers.

【3】 Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he _________.

A. received a good early education in music

B. played the guitar and the piano perfectly

C. could play the piano without reading music

D. could play the guitar better than his father

【4】What can we infer(推斷) about Samuel in Paragraph 4?

A. He became famous during a special event at his college.

B. He is proud of his ability to remember things accurately(精確地).

C. He plays the piano better than many professional pianists.

D. He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces.

【5】Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. The Qualities of a Musician

B. The Story of a Musical Talent

C. The Importance of Early Education

D. The Relationship between Memory and Music.
