【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
On Saturday my Catalan friend invited me to come along to a Calotada. Being from the UK, I had no idea what this would need, but he promised me it was a fun Catalan (卡塔蘭) tradition, and so I agreed to go. I wasn't disappointed!
First, we took a train out to a Small town near Tarragona, about an hour away from Barcelona centre. I was already amazed by how different everything looked from the city as the train rushed through small towns, all sitting on the coastline.
When we arrived, we were greeted by the sight of a small wind instrument band and about a dozen people dancing in a circle. While my friend later told me that it is a traditional Catalan dance called La Sardana, at the time I was totally confused at what I was seeing! It seemed so strange but yet so lovely that they were doing this dance completely for themselves.
Once we had been fully entertained by the dancers, we finally went inside for the Calatada and it was soon revealed to me what it actually was. We sat down at the table and a huge plate of leeks (大蔥) was placed in front of us. It was explained to us that you have to peel the leeks with your fingers, dip them in a (delicious!) sauce and eat them. This sounds easier than it was.
My friend had been right in the end, it had been an extremely fun day and it felt great to get involved in a local tradition of a place I am temporarily calling home. It really inspired me to learn more about the Catalan culture, although hopefully next time it will be something less messy!
（1）What made the author accept his friend's invitation?
A.To experience a different tradition.
B.To get a further knowledge of his friend.
C.To free himself from the pressure of studies.
D.To make a record of Catalan traditions.
（2）How did they go to a small town near Tarragona?
A.By taxi.
B.By train.
C.By water.
D.By bike.
（3）What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A.The author was tired of eating leeks.
B.They participated in the local dancers.
C.The author doesn't think the Catalan culture is perfect.
D.The author had a thorough research on Italian traditions.
（4）What is the best title for the passage?
A.Traveling with a Friend Abroad
B.A Special Dish Astonished Me
C.A Day's Journey Changed Me
D.Taking Part in Traditions

【答案】
（1）A
（2）B
（3）C
（4）D
【解析】文章講述了作者在朋友的邀請(qǐng)下參加了一次特殊的卡塔 蘭傳統(tǒng)。在那兒看見了快樂的舞者，吃到了特殊的菜肴。雖然不完美但卻是非常有趣的一天。

（1）A推理判斷題。從第一段“Being from the UK, I had no idea what this would need, but he promised me it was a fun Catalan(卡塔蘭)tradition, and so I agreed to go.”可知朋友承諾我這是一個(gè)有趣的卡塔 蘭傳統(tǒng)。因此我就答應(yīng)去了。從句意可知A符合。

（2）B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第二段第一句“First, we took a train out to a small town near Tarragona,”可知是B項(xiàng)。

（3）C推理判斷題。最后一段“It really inspired me to learn more about the Catalan culture, although hopefully next time it will be something less messy!” 作者希望下次它會(huì)少一些混亂。由此可知是不完美的。故選C

（4）D主旨大意題。第一段的最后一句提示及通讀全文可知是在朋以的邀請(qǐng)下參加了一次特殊的卡塔 蘭傳統(tǒng)。故選D。

【題目】For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?

Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped.

In this article, I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the topic is ---politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg---the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority---someone who actually knows something---and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.

【1】Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict?

A. both can continue for generations.

B. Both are about where to draw the line.

C. Neither has any clear winner.

D. Neither can be put to an end.

【2】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.

B. The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflict.

C. The teens accuse their parents of misleading them.

D. The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents.

【3】Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________.

A. give orders to the other

B. know more than the other

C. gain respect from the other

D. get the other to behave properly

【4】What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?

A. Causes for the parent –teen conflicts.

B. Examples of the parent –teen war.

C. Solutions for the parent –teen problems.

D. Future of the parent-teen relationship.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容的理解，選擇正確答案。 Today, we know that the role of vitamins and minerals goes way beyond the prevention of deficiency diseases (維生素缺乏癥) to actually preventing cancer and heart disease, the most fearsome killers of our time. With this knowledge has come the widespread call for nutritional supplementation (營(yíng)養(yǎng)補(bǔ)充) — and a confusing group of vitamin, mineral, and supplements lining the supermarket shelves.
Far from contributing to better health, however, nutritional supplements threaten to turn a scientific breakthrough into a nutritional disaster.
Promoters of vitamins and minerals — especially vitamins A, C, and E— would have consumers believe that the little vitamin pill in the bottle is all they need for good health. Take your vitamins in the morning, and you're covered. It's okay to eat fast foods for the rest of the day or skip meals to achieve today's fashionably skinny look. But vitamins and minerals are only one part of the nutritional puzzle. A diet rich in fiber (纖維) and balanced in carbohydrates and protein is essential for good health. You can't get these things from a nutritional supplement. The focus on vitamin and mineral supplements may actually be robbing us of the full nutrition we seek.
And no supplement can compare to the quality of nutrition found in natural sources. For example, our bodies turn carotenes (胡蘿卜素) from plant foods into vitamin A. Many supplements contain a single carotene, but natural sources are rich in many different carotenes. Many supplements contain a form of vitamin E that is made from chemicals, when natural vitamin E is more readily absorbed and used by the body. And science is still discovering the wealth of nutrients in foods.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a supplement as nutritionally comprehensive and powerful as a balanced diet. Even if you could, you'd pay much more than if you got the same nutritional value from natural sources.
But perhaps the greatest danger presented by nutritional supplements comes from the very real risks presented by self-medication. Anyone can walk into the market and buy as many different supplements as desired. The reported benefits of high dosages of certain nutrients have led some people to believe that the more the better. Many take several vitamin and mineral supplements without regard to possible consequences.
Surprising new research suggests that vitamin C pills may speed up hardening of the arteries, the underlying cause of heart attacks. Researchers said their findings support the recommendations of health organizations, which urge people to avoid high doses of supplements and to get their nutrients from food instead.
As appealing as they're made to sound, nutritional supplements are danger in disguise. If you're looking for good health, don't look on the supplement shelves of your supermarket. Look in the produce section instead.
（1）What has given rise to the great need for nutritional supplements?
A.The knowledge of deficiency diseases.
B.The low prices of nutritional supplements.
C.The frighteningly high death rate from cancer and heart disease.
D.The information about the role of vitamins and minerals in health.
（2）The "promoters" (Paragraph 3) most probably refers to ________.
A.businessmen
B.doctors
C.scientists
D.fast food lovers
（3）According to the passage, nutritional supplements ________.
A.are made from chemicals
B.are ineffective in supplying fiber
C.provide too much vitamin C
D.contain a kind of dangerous carotene
（4）By describing nutritional supplements as "danger in disguise" in the last paragraph, the writer means that they are ________.
A.of little help
B.of poor quality
C.potentially harmful
D.extremely poisonous
