【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容, 從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 Etiquette, or good manners, used to be the glue that held society together. Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside. This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared.
Opening the Door
In days gone by, a gentleman would always open doors for ladies. This has now almost entirely disappeared and it is not entirely the fault of the men. I have seen women laugh at men for opening a door for them. They seem to be confusing manners with chauvinism（大男子主義）.
Writing Thank-You Notes
In days gone by, whenever a person received a gift, they would write a thank-you note as soon as possible. Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thank-you note. It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a thank-you note would be laughed at.

We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days. After all, a party normally has a guest of honor-this is usually the oldest woman present. It was considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honor-and once the guest of honor left, it was a signal to all that they should begin their own preparations to leave.
A. Arriving on Time.
B. Leaving at the Right Time.
C. People leave with various excuses.
D. It enabled people to get on well with each other.
E. This rule was true even if the giver was a relative.
F. It could be the lady they were driving, or a stranger.
G. We've thrown away the concept of a guest of honor at will.

【答案】D；F；E；B；C
【解析】本文講的是消失的禮儀。

①D根據(jù)上一句：禮儀，或禮貌，過去像膠水一樣將社會團結(jié)起來�？芍丝毡磉_的意思是：它使人們相處得很好。故選D。

②F根據(jù)空格上句：在過去，無論是什么場合，紳士都會為女士開門。再根據(jù)空格后一句：這種情況現(xiàn)在幾乎已經(jīng)看不到了。可知此空表達的意思是：這可能是他們在為一個女士開車，或是一個陌生人。故選F。

③E根據(jù)空格上一句：以前當人們收到禮物總會盡快寫一封感謝信，以表達自己真誠的謝意。再根據(jù)后一句：孩子在收到生日或圣誕節(jié)禮物時，父母會教孩子寫感謝信�？芍丝找磉_的意思是：這條法則是真實的，即使給予者是親戚。故選E。

④B此空是小標題。根據(jù)下文的內(nèi)容：我們似乎越來越缺少正確的時間觀念和禮儀了，我們會因為各式各樣的借口離開正在參加的聚會。可知此處的意思是：適時地離開。可知B項適合做標題。

⑤C根據(jù)空格前一句：目前當我們談到聚會時，我們似乎越來越缺少正確的時間觀念和禮儀了。再根據(jù)空格后一句：畢竟聚會應以最年長的婦人為貴賓�？芍丝账磉_的意思是：人們因為各式各樣的借口離開正在參加的聚會。故選C。

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted that 42% of Americans could be overweight by 2030. Our expanding waistlines lead to not only a medical problem, but according to a recent article In The New York Times, it could also endanger personal safety in some situations—in an airplane crash, for example.
The New York Times' Christen Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning whether airplane seats are adequately constructed to protect overweight travelers. Government standards for airplane seat strength（強度）— first set moe than 60 years ago — require that the seats be made for a passenger weighing 170 pounds (77kg). Today, the average American man weighs nearly 194 pounds (88kg) and the average woman 165 pounds (75kg). Negroni reports:
“If a heavier person completely fills seat, the seat is not likely to behave as intended during a crash,” said Robert Salazar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy absorption that is built into the aircraft seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly.”
“Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said. “If a seat or a seat belt fails,” he said, “those people who are seated nearby could be endangered from ‘the uncontrolled movements of the passenger'.”
Most complaints about airplane seats focus on their lack of comfort and high ticket price, and whether overweight passengers should be made to buy two seats. But The New York Times' article brings up another reason to feel anxious about flying. Investigators of the issue got in touch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused to comment on the problem. Experts agreed that crash testing should be done with overweight dummies （人體模型）. Both airplane seats and seat belts should be tested, they said.
Fortunately, however, according to Nora Marshall, a senior adviser at the National Transportation Safety Board, the board's investigators have never seen an accident involving a commercial plane in which the weight of a passenger was a problem.
（1）What is the article in The New York Times mainly concerned with?
A.The size of airplane seats and seat belts.
B.Safety of overweight airplane passengers.
C.Airplane crashes involving commercial planes.
D.A medical problem caused by being overweight.
（2）Robert Salzar would probably agree that .
A.overweight passengers should buy two seats
B.the government should help produce safer planes
C.standards for airplane seat strength should be raised
D.passengers should know how to protect themselves
（3）We can learn from the text that .
A.airplane seat makers have taken action now
B.there are few complaints about airplane seats
C.those seate near the overweight may suffer too
D.only a small number of airplane accidents involve the overweight
（4）What is the best title for the text?
A.Why Do Passengers Feel Anxious about Flying?
B.Will 42% of Americans Be OVERWEIGHT BY 2030?
C.When Will the Overweight Enjoy Their Flight?
D.Are Airplane Seats Safe Enough for the Overweight?

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容的理解，選擇正確答案。 In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).
One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, the women's shoe section is generally next to the women's cosmetics(化妝品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers' senses, stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.
When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.
（1）According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?
A.Opening the store early in the morning.
B.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.
C.Inviting customers to play music.
D.Displaying British wines next to French ones.
（2）What is the California builder's story intended to prove?
A.The house structure is a key factor customers consider.
B.A good first impression increases sales.
C.An ocean view is much to the customers' taste.
D.The more costly the house is, the better it sells.
（3）what is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To report researches on customer behavior.
B.To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.
C.To explain how businesses turn people into their customers
D.To show dishonest business practices.

【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.
