2.If you are not any kind of a longtime A-list New Yorker celebrity like Woody Allen,chances are that you have never experienced,and will never experience-a meal in a legendary(神奇) Italian-American restaurant called Rao's.
    Rao's,the East Harlem restaurant with a history of more than l00 years,is simply the toughest restaurant to get a reservation in the US,if not the world.Michelin three-star restaurants like elBulli in Spain,often ranked the world's top restaurant,would sell out the second phone lines opened.But in the case of Rao's,the phone lines never open.
    There are about a dozen tables in the tiny restaurant,and each is spoken for,semi-permanently,as regulars have had their reservations for years,and when they can't use them,they often gift them to friends.The place is so small that the owners rarely have the flexibility to do favors even for people they know.   
    Since it is always busy,there has never been a need for publicity.The last remarkable national review of the restaurant came from The New York Times more than 35 years ago.It was already tough to get a table at Rao's but reservations have been non-existent ever sincce the magic review.
    According to a critic who is"very,very lucky to have dined at Rao's a few times,"the experience rivals(堪比)the tasty food.There are no menus at Rao's,and one of the owners will pull up a chair and run through the massive list of options,allowing people to have diner by mixing and matching nearly any ingredient(原料)with any classical Italian style of cooking.The place doesn't take credit cards,isn't open on weekends or for 1unch,and"at some point during your meal the one-room restaurant will almost unavoidably break out in song."It is truly one of a kind,"the critic wrote.

61.Which is probably the best title for thistext?D
A.A lucky critic.   
B.The best restaurant
C.A magic review. 
D.A legendary restaurant
62.Why does the author refer to elBulli in Spain in Paragraph 2?B
A.To prove the long history of Rao's.   
B.To show the popularity of Rao's.
C.To describe the service of Rao's.     
D.To attract customers to eat in Rao's.
63.What was Rao's like before The NewYork Times review?A
A.Unique and attractive.   
B.Tough and greedy.
C.Terrible and unknown.  
D.Poor and hopeless.
64.Which of the following about Rao's is true?C
A.If yoh want to get a reservation in Rao's,you'd have to phone ahead of time.
B.Rao's history is much longer than that of elBulli in Spain.
C.It's hard fo dine in Rao's partly because it has a limited number of tables.
D.Only the most famous persons can have the chance to have lunch in Rao's.
65.We can conclude from the critic's words thatC.
A.Rao's menus are specially designed for its regular diners
B.customers of Rao's can use credit cards on weekends
C.the experience dining in Rao's is as unforgettable as its food
D.diners in Rao's are used to being disturbed by sudden noises.

分析 本文文化生活類說明文,文中介紹了Rao's是美國最難預定的餐館.這家餐館有100多年的歷史;餐館只有十二張桌子,餐館總是很忙,不需要宣傳,因為?鸵呀(jīng)預定多年,所以每個座位都是半固定的;大家以能在這家餐館訂到桌子而感到榮幸,被評論家認為是獨一無二的,這里的經(jīng)歷和食物一樣令人難忘.

解答 61.D.主旨大意題.本文圍繞餐館Rao's,介紹餐館的歷史、環(huán)境、經(jīng)營狀況和評論家對它的相關評論展開,因此答案選D.
62.B.細節(jié)理解題根據(jù)第二段提到Michelin three-star restaurants like elBulli in Spain,often ranked the world's top restaurant,would sell out the second phone lines opened.But in the case of Rao's,the phone lines never open西班牙的這個餐廳是世界頂級的餐廳,當熱線一開通后就會售罄,但這個Rao's 餐廳根據(jù)不會有熱線預定,說明其受歡迎的程度,故選B項.
63.A.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段提到Since it is always busy,there has never been a need for publicity.The last remarkable national review of the restaurant came from The New York Times more than 35 years ago既然它很繁忙,從來沒有必要宣傳;最后一次評論是35年前來自紐約時報;說明他的獨一無二性與吸引力,故選A項.
64.C.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段提到There are about a dozen tables in the tiny restaurant,and each is spoken for,semi-permanently,as regulars have had their reservations for years,and when they can't use them,they often gift them to friends(這個餐館只有十二個桌子,都是口頭傳誦的,半固定的;因為顧客們已經(jīng)預定多年,當他們不用時,會作為禮物的形式送給朋友),由此判斷餐館小,座位少,很多幾乎是半固定,因此很難到這家餐館就餐,故選C項.
65.C.細節(jié)推斷題.根據(jù)最后一段提到According to a critic who is"very,very lucky to have dined at Rao's a few times,"the experience rivals(堪比)the tasty food評論家認為經(jīng)歷和美味的食物一樣,讓人難忘,故選C項.

點評 閱讀理解要在整體理解文章的基礎上,關注細節(jié):閱讀強調(diào)整體把握;解題強調(diào)依據(jù)原文細節(jié)推敲推斷.

7.Anyone driving on Highway I between San  Francisco and Los Angeles recently may have,glimpsed a Toyota Prius with something curious-looking on the roof.Harder to notice was that the person at the wheel was not actually driving.The car is a project of Goole,which can drive themselves,using artificial intelligence software that can sense anything near the car and imitate the decisions made by a human driver.
Driverless cars are years from mass production,but technologists who have long dreamed of them believe that they can transform society as profoundly as the Internet has.
Robot drivers react faster than humans,have 360-degree perception and do not get distracted,sleepy or intoxicated,the engineers argue.They speak in terms of lives saved and injuries avoided-more than 37,000people died in car accidents in the United States in 2008.The engineers say the technology could double the capacity of roads by allowing cars to drive more safely while closer together.Because the robot cars would eventually be less likely to crash,they could be built lighter,reducing fuel consumption.But of course,to be truly safer,the cars must be far more reliable than,say,today's personal computers,which crash on occasion and are frequently infected.
The Google research program using artificial intelligence to revolutionize the automobile is proof that the company's ambitions reach beyond the search engine business.Yet Goole did not yet have a cheer plan to create a business from the experiments.
Under the current law,a human must be in control of a car at all times,but what does that mean if the hom ant is not really paying attention as the car erosses through a school zone,figuring that the robot is driving more safely than he would?And in the event of an accident,who would be liable-the person behind the wheel or the maker of the software?

71.The purpose of the author writing the passage isB.
A.to persuade Americans to buy driverless cars
B.to introduce a new application of artificial intelligence
C.to inform us of the latest development in the Internet
D.to show Google is an ambitious high-tech company
72.The engineers believe driverless cars will bring great benefits exceptC.
A.the fewer car accidents
B.the greater capacity of roads
C.more seats in vehicles
D.less fuel consumption
73.What is most important to make sure driverless cars are absolutely safe?A
A.More reliable corrupters.
B.Special road systems.
C.Good driving habits.
D.New laws on driving.
74.From passage we can learn that GoogleD.
A.has decided to expand its business into the car business.
B.has set a clear schedule to make profit from the business
C.cares little about the influence made by the new program
D.will completely change the way people drive cars
75.What conclusion can we draw from the last paragraph of the passage?C
A.The driverless cars will be forbidden in school zones.
B.The Google researchers neglect the related legal issuers.
C.The Google's technology is ahead of the law in many areas.
D.Drivers will not be responsible for the accident in future.

14.I walk into a room and wonder who's going to talk to me.Unavoidably,I fall into a self-conscious moment.
I'm waiting for my daughters to finish a gymnastics class,and I look around the waiting room.The lively chatter of mothers all around me makes me feel terribly alone.I don't belong in this group; I'm an outsider to the world of little girls trying to finish their homework before the coach calls them in.
Nobody is paying attention to me!
Sulking in pity,I overhear a little girl ask her mother the difference between a homophone and a homonym.
My specialty!I can't resist such questions.I have to assist.For the next 5minutes,I find myself helping a 4th grader think of words that sound the same but are spelled differently (homophone) and words that sound the same and are spelled the same but mean different things (homonym).
You can't help somebody else and also think about how neglected you feel.It's a strange phenomenon.It doesn't matter that I'm supremely out of place here.I'm serving somebody,and then,everything feels right.And in a powerful turn of events,the mother who once seemed so cliquish and perfect starts telling me about her life.Over homophones,I'm learning about a lifetime of heartbreak.
Each of those mothers might have their own story of loss.The room isn't what it seems; it's nothing like it sounds.Beneath the clique and chatter,there's somebody who needs attention.
Perhaps when I feel most alone,most forgotten,I need to look up,find a way to help and bless (even if it's through homophones),and stop focusing on myself.I want to enter a room,take my eyes off of myself,and find the one who needs help.

69.What does the author want to do the time she enters the waiting room?B
A.She wants to ask who would like to talk to her.
B.She wants to be accepted among people already there.
C.She wants to get her daughter back home for dinner.
D.She wants to have a talk with the gymnastic coach of her daughter
70.According to the paragraph 5the prefix (前綴)"homo"probably meansB
A.different.  B.same.  C.sound.  D.meaning.
71.Which statement of below is not true according to the passage?D
A.You are not the only one who feels helpless.
B.Don't concentrate too much on yourself when you feel nervous.
C.Find someone to help and then you may feel better.
D.The world is not what you make it,but what you see and hear.
