分析 本文介紹一個非常成功漂亮的女演員．她的家離市區(qū)很遠，于是她租了一棟昂貴的公寓，并請來一個粉刷工為她粉刷墻壁，為了讓粉刷工認真工作，她送給他去看演唱會的門票．演唱會結(jié)束后，這名粉刷匠給她一張紙條寫著："觀看你的演唱會四小時價值3美元，但是我在下午五點以后一小時收費15先令．"

解答 14．B 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)粉刷工紙條上的內(nèi)容：Four hours watching Miss Ball sing and dance：£3"粉刷工的紙條上寫著，觀看你演唱會的費用是3英鎊．故Miss Ball 是這個漂亮的出名的女演員的名字．結(jié)合選項，B正確．
15．C 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容"so she rented （租用） an expensive flat in the centre of the city"所以她租在市中心一個昂貴的公寓，故選C．
16．A 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)She hoped that this would make him work better and more willingly for her．"她希望這樣能使他更好的工作并更愿意為她工作．"可知，是為了是他更高興．故選A．
17．B 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)He took the tickets without saying anything，and she heard no more about them until the end of the month"他拿著票什么也沒說，并且直到月末什么也沒說．"可知，他拿到票就去看演唱會了．故選B．
18．A 推理判斷題．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容when she got the painter's bill．At the bottom of it were the words"Four hours watching Miss Hall sing and dance，£3…："After 5p．m．I get fifteen shillings an hour instead of ten shillings．"，當她拿到粉刷工的賬單時，最底下的是"四小時看霍爾小姐唱歌跳舞，3英鎊"．而我下午5點前上班工資是每小時10先令，5點后是每小時15先令．粉刷工為自己的空閑時間標價，而霍爾小姐也占用了粉刷工的時間，結(jié)合選項，故選A

點評 本文是一個人物故事類閱讀理解，題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關語句進行仔細分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關鍵句子的基礎上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．

1．March 21has been declared World Sleep Day，a time to recognize and celebrate the value of sleep．Many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call．
According to a poll （民意調(diào)查）by the National Sleep Foundation，nearly 4in 5Americans don't get as much sleep as they should during the workweek．On average，adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night，although some can manage with less and some won't do well without more．But the survey found that，on workdays，only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep，and another 21% get less than six．
To many of us，the thought of spending more time sleeping is，well，a big yawn．On the other hand，the thought of being smarter，thinner，healthier and more cheerful can be very attractive．And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we get enough sleep，researchers say．Also on the plus side：We're likely to have better skin，better memories，better judgment，and，oh，yes，longer lives．
"When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason，it influences your performance the next day，"says Dr．Alon Avidan，director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center．
A study published last year found the same to be true even of children．When kids aged 8to 12slept for just one hour less for four nights，they didn't function as well during the day．
But sleeping has an image problem．"We see napping or sleeping as lazy，"says Jennifer Vriend，a clinical psychologist in Ottawa，Canada，and the leading author of the study with children．"We put so much attention on diet，nutrition and exercise．Sleep is in the back seat．"In fact，she adds，no matter how much we work out，no matter how well we eat，we can't be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep．
32．The underlined part in Paragraph 1meansC．
A．A alarm clock
B．A morning call service
C．A warning alarm
D．A shout when getting up
33．According to the text which of the following is NOT right？C
A．Nearly 4in 5Americans don't get as much sleep as they should
B．On average，adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night
C．Every day only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep
D．On workdays 21% get less than six hours of sleeping
34．Which of the following is the advantages of enough sleep？B
a．smarter，thinner，healthier
b．more cheerful
c．longer lives．
d．a(chǎn) big yawn
A．a(chǎn)bd   
B．a(chǎn)bc   
C．bcd   
D．a(chǎn)cd
35．How does the author present his idea？D
A．By telling stories      
B．By giving definitions（下定義）
C．By explaining         
D．By listing facts．

18．The kitchen is one of the most important parts of the house．You may think that，since it's only used for cooking，there's no need to pay much attention to its color．
（36）G
 Color influences people's mood and creates an atmosphere，and surely you want to be in a good mood when you're cooking．
To decorate a kitchen，first look for a theme which will then influence the color scheme （方案）．The most common colors in kitchens are white，yellow and other light colors．Kitchens are usually painted in one color to create a clean and neat look．（37）D
Also，since kitchens tend to have smaller windows，the light colors help make it brighter．Neutral colors such as gray and cream can also be used to create some contrast．（38）E
Start with your favorite color，or two light colors that balance each other．Make sure that you test them thoroughly first so that you can be sure they'll actually work．For more adventurous kitchen owners，three colors next to each other can also work．But these need to be carefully chosen，because one wrong color can ruin the whole look of the kitchen．
When the kitchen color scheme has been chosen，other elements must be considered．Some important things，such as cupboards，in the kitchen can affect its look．Tiles （瓷磚） and the floor must be chosen to fit the look．（39）F
Last but not least，no matter what color s cheme you use，make sure that it really is the one you want．（40）C

A．Many people want to decorate their kitchens with bright colors．
B．Different colors have different effects on people's mood．
C．Otherwise，ge t advice from other members of the family．
D．The light colors make the room seem bigger than it is．
E．There are different ways to create a color scheme．
F．In a word，kitchen decoration must go together with the color scheme．
G．But in fact，the color schemes of kitchens are as important as those of any other rooms．

A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers．He shouted encourag ing words，but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end．
"A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better，"he said．It is also a lesson in life for the students．
Anything，including walking on water，is possible，if you do the research，test it and go through the design process seriously．
29．The students took part in the race toB．
A．go across the lake to school

C．test their balance on the water
