分析 這篇閱讀材料涉及四所學校的招生廣告,都是關(guān)于英語學習的.瀏覽后面的題目,根據(jù)其具體要求就能選擇出適合于自己的學校.如果你在一家大公司工作,而且你經(jīng)常處理外國商務(wù),提高自己的英語水平是當務(wù)之急,短文給出了四種不同的培訓方式,哪一種適合你呢?

解答 BBCD
46.B細節(jié)理解題.既然"每天從上午9:00工作至下午4:30,連周末都工作,那么只能選擇晚上有課程的學校了.",那么在這四所學校中只有Global English Center和The International House設(shè)有晚間課程.不難判斷B為正確答案.故選B.
47.B細節(jié)理解題.21世紀英語培訓中心與眾不同之處是需要進行Entrance exams (入學考試),這一點在其他三所學校的廣告中均未談及;而其它如"教學質(zhì)量好"、"離市中心近"等,在另外三所學校的廣告中也可以見到.因此B為正確答案.故選B.
48.C細節(jié)理解題."你也許喜歡去International House的原因"可以從廣告前言和廣告本身中得知.前言中說,"你現(xiàn)在正在找地方提高英語,特別是口語",而The International House的廣告中說"提供四個月的口語能力訓練課程",因此,只有a special course in spoken English才是最吸引你的,而不是"觀光、社會活動或價格便宜".故C為正確答案.故選C.
49.D理解計算題.廣告中說"每周12小時60元",那么一個月四周要近千元.故D為正確答案.故選D.

點評 這是四則廣告,文章屬于信息篩選類短文,有四個關(guān)于英語文化的知識,可以很快找到關(guān)鍵處,在解答這類問題時要求學生抓住題干文字信息,采用針對性方法進行閱讀,答案在文章中可以直接找到.

6.Once upon a time,lion,the king of woods came to God and said,"Thank you,my Lord!You have given me a perfect physique (體格) and let me control the whole woods."Hearing this,the God smiled."But your purpose for coming here should not merely be this.It seems that you are embarrassed by something."
Then,the lion made a short roar."Yes,my Lord!How considerate you are!As a matter of fact,I do need your help.Although I'm strong,I have been frightened by the cry of the cock every morning.My lord,please make the cock not cry every morning!"Instead of answering the lion's request,God said,"You can turn to the elephant,and he will give you a satisfying explanation."
The lion ran to the elephant with joy.But he found the elephant was stamping(跺腳) with anger when he got there."What makes you so angry?""An annoying mosquito has been trying to get into my ear.It almost makes me mad."
The lion left the elephant and understood the meaning of the God.
Everybody will meet embarrassment in his or her life,no matter how strong or mighty he or she is.Most of the time,others cannot help us.It is unnecessary and useless to blame the unfairness of the world.There are positive aspects at any time.Embarrassment can become opportunity if you try to face and enjoy it.It is also opportunity for you to surpass(超越) yourself.

21.According to the text,the reason why the lion came to the God is thatA.
A.he turned to the God for help
B.He begged the God to punish the cock
C.he praised the God for giving him so much
D.He sought God's advice on how to make the cock not cry himself
22.How do you understand the underlined part"the meaning of the God"in Paragraph 4?D
A.Learn to tolerate whatever other may do to you.
B.Treat others the same way you are treated by others.
C.Believe in whoever will help you when you are in need of help.
D.When meeting embarrassment in life,you cannot always get help from others.
23.The underlined word"it"in the last paragraph probably refers toB.
A.the meaning of God       
B.embarrassment in life
C.unfairness of the world     
D.opportunity you get in life
24.The author's purpose of writing the passage is most likely toC.

11.How to Sleep Better
If you're having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning,waking up more than once,for example),this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night's sleep.
1.Get on schedule.Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality.(36)F For example,if you normally wake up at 6am on weekdays to get to work,you might go to bed around 10pm,because that's when you start to feel sleepy,and it's also a good time to ensure 8hours of sleep.If,on the weekend,you sleep until 9am,you probably won't be able to fall asleep that night until 1am.
2.Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.(37)D Digestion slows down while asleep,and a full stomach may interrupt sleep.Similarly,you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach,as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.
3.(38)B Exposure to light during the time when you're supposed to be sleeping can destroy your body's internal clock.Turn your light off,or use a very dim(暗淡的) night light.(39)A  They include windows,LED clocks and computer lights.
4.Change your sleeping position.You may think that it's impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren't fully aware of what you are doing,but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference.(40)G

A.Try to avoid all sources of light.
B.Keep the room as dark as possible.
C.Make note of unusual circumstances.
D.Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep.
E.Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.
F.In other words,sudden change of sleeping time will affect your"biological clock".
G.If you wake up in the middle of the night,make an effort to have a comfortable position.

6.The Cardboard Box Office is a project created by Lilly and Leon Mackie,who recently moved from New Zealand to Sydney,Australia.The transfer left them with a mountain of cardboard boxes,and the arrival of their baby son Orson 10 months ago meant their social lives were"completely altered (改變."So the couple decided to try to make some fun of the situation.

The Mackies took the first photos in September and have portrayed 14 movies so far,including their versions of"Cast Away"(or"Castababy")and"Jurassic Park"(or"Goo-goo Gaa-gaa-rassic Park").Even"Star Wars"gets the Mackie treatment,with Orson holding a cardboard tube in place of a saber (軍刀)and mom sporting impressive Princess Leia-like hair buns (HI made out of brown paper in the photo titled"Wah Wars."
