分析 文章介紹了美國(guó)人在餐館里的就餐的習(xí)慣,怎樣點(diǎn)菜,怎樣給小費(fèi),包括吃不了時(shí)可以帶回家去自己享用.

解答 36.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段及關(guān)鍵句 …it is impolite to light up a cigarette without asking if it will disturb them 可知 A、B、C 與原文不相符,同時(shí)關(guān)鍵句告訴我們"未經(jīng)他人允許吸煙是不禮貌的"可知 D 為正確選項(xiàng).
37.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容Most cities and towns have no rules about opening and closing times for stores or restaurants,though they usually do make rules for bars,幾乎商店和飯館是沒(méi)有固定的開(kāi)門(mén)和關(guān)門(mén)的時(shí)間的,選項(xiàng)A符合文意.
38.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù) If you can't finish your meal but would like to enjoy the food later,ask your waitress or waiter for a"doggie bag"得知它與答案 D 的表達(dá)相符,故選 D.
39.B 根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,小費(fèi)和賬單通常是分開(kāi)的,小費(fèi)不包括在餐點(diǎn)價(jià)格內(nèi),再由文章A tip of about 15% is expected and you should leave it on the table when you leave可知,離開(kāi)時(shí)應(yīng)將小費(fèi)放在桌上,故B為正確選項(xiàng).
40.B 根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容 In some restaurants,a check is brought on a plate and you put your money there.Then the waiter or waitress brings you your change.由此可知賬單被放在盤(pán)子里給你,最后再給你change,因此change 為付賬找回的零錢(qián).

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是歷史文化類(lèi)閱讀理解.做這類(lèi)題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對(duì)文章通讀一遍,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語(yǔ)句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測(cè),一定要做到有理有據(jù).

9.At the beginning of my 8:00 a.m.class one Monday at UNLV(拉斯維加斯內(nèi)華達(dá)大學(xué)),I cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been.One young man said that his weekend had not been very good.The young man then proceeded to ask me why I always seemed to be so cheerful.
His question reminded me of something I'd read somewhere before:"Every morning when you get up,you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day,"I said to the young man."I choose to be cheerful."
"Let me give you an example,"I continued."In addition to teaching here at UNLV,I also teach out at the community college in Henderson,about seventeen miles down the freeway from where I live.One day a few weeks ago I drove to Henderson.I exited the freeway and turned onto College Drive.But just then my car died.I tried to start it again,but the engine wouldn't turn over.So I put my flashers on,took my books,and marched down the road to the college."
"As soon as I got there,I called AAA(美國(guó)汽車(chē)協(xié)會(huì)) and asked them to send a tow truck (拖車(chē)).The secretary in the Provost's office asked me what had happened.'This is my lucky day',I replied,smiling."
"Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?"She was puzzled,"What do you mean?"
"I live seventeen miles from here".I replied."My car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway.It didn't.Instead,it broke down in the perfect place:off the freeway,within walking distance of here.I'm still able to teach my class,and I've been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class.If my car was meant to break down today,it couldn't have been arranged in a more convenient fashion."

13.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 2013poll(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 has a certain appeal.And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently 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 emphasis 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.

56.The underlined part in Paragraph 1meansC.
A.to wake up the sleepers
B.to serve as a morning call
C.to draw people's attention
D.to declare the special day
57.Which of the following is True according to Paragraph 2?B
A.People can do well without enough sleep.
B.Adults need at least eight hours'sleep a day.
C.Only one-forth of Americans have enough sleep.
D.One-fifth of American adults sleep less than children.
58.From Paragraph 3we can infer thatC.
A.being healthier is one of the advantages for us
B.sleeping has nothing to do with one's expectations
C.enough sleep is the guarantee of the appealing things
D.spending more time on sleeping is a waste of time
59.What Jennifer Vriend said in the last paragraph implies thatA.
A.people care little about sleeping
B.sleeping is an image problem
C.lazy people tend to sleep long
D.sleeping is only part of our life
60.What is the purpose of the passage?D
A.To talk about people's sleeping problems.
B.To provide an investigation result of sleeping.
C.To stress the function of sleeping at night.
D.To arouse the awareness of enough sleeping.

7.There are many American expressions about insects.
Bees are known as very hard workers.So you might say you were as busy as a bee if you spent your weekend cleaning your house.In fact,you might say your house was a beehive of activity if your whole family was helping you clean.You also might say you made a beeline for something if you went there right away.When we go to see a movie,my friend always makes a beeline for the place where they sell popcorn.If something was the best of its kind,you might say it was the bee's knees.Now,we admit that we do not know how this expression developed.In fact,we do not even know if bees have knees!If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important,you might say she has a bee in her bonnet.If someone asks you a personal question,and you would like not to tell him or her,you might say,"That is none of your beeswax."
Butterflies are beautiful insects,but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach.That means to be nervous about having to do something,like speaking in front of a crowd.You would also not want to have ants in your pants.That is,to be restless and unable to sit still.
If a friend keeps asking you to do something you do not want to do,you might ask him to leave you alone or"stop bugging me".A friend also might tell you again and again to do something.If so,you might say he put a bug in your ear.If you were reading a book in your warm bed on a cold winter's day,you might say you were snug as a bug in a rug.And,if you wish someone good night,you might say,"sleep tight-don't let the bed bugs bite."
24.When you describe a wonderful bike of your friend,you can sayB.
A.it makes a beeline          
B.it is the bee's knees
C.it is a beehive of activity  
D.it has a bee in its bonnet
25.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 2means"A".
A.has nothing to do with you   
B.draws your attention
C.goes wrong               
D.is the bee's knees
26.In the text,butterflies and ants are used toC.
A.speak highly of a beautiful person
B.describe a person without confidence
C.stand for bad effects on a person
D.comfort a person in a bad mood
27.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A
A.The word"bug"can be a noun or a verb.
B.Bug is a kind of good insects for man.
C.Bugs live mainly in human's ears.

13.Want a glance of the future of health care?Take a look at the way the various networks of people about patient care are being connected to one another,and how this new connectivity is being exploited to deliver medicine to the patient-no matter where he or she may be.
Online doctors offering advice based on normal symptoms(癥狀) are the most obvious example.Increasingly,however,remote diagnosis(遠(yuǎn)程診斷) will be based on real physiological data(生理數(shù)據(jù)) from the actual patient.A group from the University of Kentucky has shown that by using personal data assistance plus a mobile phone,it is perfectly practical to send a patient's important signs over the telephone.With this kind of equipment,the cry asking whether there was a doctor in the house could well be a thing of the past.
Other medical technology groups are working on applying telemedicine to rural(countryside) care.And at least one team wants to use telemedicine as a tool for disaster need-especially after earthquakes.On the whole,the trend is towards providing global access to medical data and experts'opinions.
But there is one problem.Bandwidth(寬帶) is the limiting factor for sending complex(復(fù)雜的) medical pictures around the world-CT photos being one of the biggest bandwidth users.Communication satellites may be able to deal with the short-term needs during disasters such as earthquakes or wars.But medicine is looking towards both the second-generation Internet and third-generation mobile phones for the future of remote medical service.
Doctors have met to discuss computer-based tools for medical diagnosis,training and telemedicine.With the falling price of broadband communications,the new technologies should start a new time when telemedicine and the sharing of medical information,experts'opinions and diagnosis are common.
59.The writer chiefly talks aboutA
A.the use of telemedicine                 
B.the on-lined doctors
C.medical care and treatment        
D.communication improvement
60.The basis of remote diagnosis will beC.
A.personal data assistance 
B.some words of a patient
C.real physiological information
D.medical pictures from the Internet
61.Which of the following statements is true according to the text?D
A.Patients don't need doctors in hospitals any more.
B.It is impossible to send a patient's signs over the telephone.
C.Many teams use telemedicine dealing with disasters now.
D.Broadband communications will become cheaper in the future.
62.The"problem"in the fourth paragraph refers to the fact thatA.
A.bandwidth isn't big enough to send complex medical pictures
B.the second-generation of Internet has not become popular yet
C.communication satellites can only deal with short-term needs
D.there is not enough equipment for spreading the medical care.
