17.Dear Mr.King,
I'm Bob Watson,one of the customers in your grocery store.I'm writing to express my idea about your goods.
Your Supermart is outstanding in many ways.First I enjoy the selection of produce and fresh bakery items.Second your low prices and excellent customer service keep me coming back to Supermart.I have found,however,that I must make a separate shopping trip to one of your competitors because there are many items your store does not carry.This becomes inconvenient for me,as my time is valuable,and I don't like to make two trips.I have been a long time Supermart shopper and hope to continue for many years.If I could find all the items I need in one place,I would be a more satisfied customer.
Specifically,I have never been able to purchase nacho cheese soup at your store.I can find other flavors (味道) of soup,but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup,a common ingredient (原料) in many of my recipes.In addition,I can only find large wonton wrappers,while many other stores carry both large and small and offer a more varied selection for their customers.Another example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning.Though it is not a leading brand,it is still common on the shelves of other grocery stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its competitors.
I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store,and I hope that you will consider the possibility of expanding your goods to be more competitive.
Yours truly,
Bob Watson 
25.From the letter,we can learn that the author isB.
A.a(chǎn) very picky reporter                   
B.a(chǎn) regular customer of the store
C.a(chǎn) responsible nutritionist              
D.a(chǎn) competitor of the store
26.How does the author present his point in Paragraph 2?D
A.By comparing two different stores.
B.By analyzing the figures.
C.By providing scientific findings.
D.By giving examples.
27.According to Bob,the grocery storeA.
A.offers good customer service         B.is outstanding in every way
C.meets all his needs                  D.lacks convenient transportation.

分析 本文主要是Bob Watson對食品雜貨店提的建議.一是希望店主能夠增加產(chǎn)品種類,特別是要增加乳酪湯和各種大小的云吞皮,以及 Regent Brand 品牌的辣椒調(diào)味品等產(chǎn)品的售賣.

解答 BDA
25  B   細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)短文第一段中的描述可知,Your low prices and excellent customer service keep me coming back to your supermarket,這個超市物品的價格比較低,而且對顧客的服務(wù)很好;但是作者也提到這家超市不能滿足顧客所有的需要,因為有些東西是它沒有的,所以還需要去別的超市購買.故A和B選項不對;D選項沒有提到.故選B.
26  D   推理判斷題.根據(jù)短文第二段中的內(nèi)容可知,在這一段里,作者給出了很多例子,這家超市沒有的東西而別的超市里有,在文章中我們還可以明顯看到Another example is這個詞,所以這一段作者是通過舉例來解釋自己的觀點的.故選D.
27  A  推理判斷題.根據(jù)短文第一段中I have been a long time supermarket shopper and hope to continue for many years.可知,Bob Watson說他長時間以來一直在超市購物,希望以后繼續(xù)在超市購物.由此我們可以知道,喜歡在超市購物的人就是寫信的Bob Watson,故選A.

點評 考察學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

5.For four lonely years,Evelyn Jones of Rockford,Illinois,lived friendless and forgotten in one room of a cheap hotel."I wasn't sick,but I was acting sick,"the 78-year-old widow says,"Every day was the same.I would just lie on my bed and maybe cook up some soup."Then,six months ago,she was invited to The Brighter Side--Rockford's day care center for the elderly.Every weekday morning since then,she has left her home to meet nine other old people in a church for a rich program of charity work,trips,games,and--most important of all--friendly companionship.
Just a few years ago,there were few choices for the elderly between a normal life in their own homes and being totally confined in nursing homes.Many of them were sent to rest homes long before they needed full-time care.Others like Mrs.Jones were left to take care of themselves.But in 1971,the White House Conference on Aging called for the development of alternatives to care in nursing homes for old people,and since then,government-supported day-care programs like The Brighter Side have been developed in most big American cities.
"This represents a real alternative to the feared institution and makes old people believe they have not left the world of living",says Alice Brophy,64,director of New York City's Office for the Aging,"They do well at the centers,and I hate it when people describe us as elderly playpens(嬰兒扶欄)."New York's 138centers encourage continuing contact for the aged with the community's life.The centers serve more than 15,000members,and volunteer workers are always looking for new ones.If someone doesn't show up at the center for several days in a row,a worker at the center calls to make sure all is well.And although participation in the center is free,those who want to can pay for their lunches.
No normal studies have been made of these centers for the elderly,but government officials are enthusiastic.In the future,the Public Health Service will do a study to decide if the programs can receive federal Medicare money.And the old people themselves are very happy with the programs."There is no way",says Evelyn Jones,smiling at her new companions at the Brighter Side,"that I will ever go back to spending my day with all those loses at the hotel."

66.According to the passage,many old people went to the nursing homes becauseC.
A.They are in urgent need of full-time care.
B.They were rather willing to go there.
C.They were sent there.
D.They were volunteers there.
67.We can conclude from the statements of Alice Brophy thatB.
A.the centers are like elderly playpens.
B.the old people do well at the day care centers.
C.old people like nursing institutions.
D.outside the Brighter side they don't work for the old.
68.What's author's attitude towards the program of day care centers?D
A.pessimistic.
B.concerned.
C.neutral.
D.optimistic.
69.What is the main idea of the article?B
A.Day care centers may be able to receive federal Medicare money.
B.Day care centers can make life better for elderly people.
C.Many old people in the United States are lonely.
D.Old people have no place in their society.

12.In Japan many workers for large corporations have a guarantee of lifetime employment.They will not be laid off during recessions(經(jīng)濟蕭條) or when the tasks they perform are taken over by robots.To some observes,this is capitalism at its best,because workers are treated as people not things.Others see it as necessarily inefficient and believe it cannot continue if Japan is to remain competitive with foreign corporations more concerned about profits and less concerned about people.
Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works.In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job.The lifetime employment system includes only"regular employees".Many employees do not fall into this category,including all women.All businesses have many part-time and temporary employees.These workers are hired and laid off during the course of the business cycle just as employees in the United States are.These"irregular workers"make up about 10percent of the nonagricultural work force.Additionally,Japanese firms maintain some flexibility through the extensive use of subcontractors(分包單位).This practice is much more common in Japan than in the United States.
The use of both subcontractors and temporary workers has increased markedly in Japan since the 1974-1975recession.All this leads some to argue that the Japanese system is not all that different from the American system.During recessions Japanese corporations lay off temporary workers and give less business to subcontractors.In the United States,corporations lay off those workers with the least seniority(資歷).The difference then is probably less than the term"lifetime employment"suggests,but there still is a difference.And this difference cannot be understood without looking at the values of Japanese society.The relationship between employer and employee cannot be explained in purely contractual(合同的) terms.Firms hold on to the employees and employees stay with one firm.There are also practical reasons for not jumping from job to job.Most retirement benefits come from the employer.Changing jobs means losing these benefits.Also,teamwork is an essential part of Japanese production.Moving to a new firm means adapting to a different team and at least temporarily,lower productivity and lower pay.

74.According to the passage,a woman in JapanA.
A.cannot get a lifetime job
B.is impossible to get a part time job
C.will be employed for life
D.is among the regular workers
75Which of the following is NOT the reason why Japanese workers stay with one firm?B
A.they don't want to lose their retirement benefits.
B.they are not adaptable people.
C.a(chǎn)ny change of jobs will make them less paid.
D.they get used to the teamwork.
76.It can be inferred from the passage thatA.
A.those who want to change jobs frequently in Japan should think twice
B.those who are first laid off by American corporations are temporary workers
C.the use of subcontractors makes Japanese firms less flexible
D.the Japanese system is totally different from the American system
77.What does the passage mainly discuss?D
A.The extremely hard situation during recessions.
B.The extensive use of subcontractors in Japan.
C.The characteristics of corporations in the United States.
D.The features of lifetime employment in Japan.

2.In a computer age,a broadband Internet connection is very popular now.Whether cable or mobile broadband,today's connections are many times faster than those in the early days.Videos play smoothly,complex websites load quickly,and files download much faster than ten years ago.And the files are much bigger too.
There's  a catch:You have to live near enough to a major city to get broadband Internet.If you don't,it's slow dial-up access for you.And for those living really far out,there may be no Internet access at all.
Technology experts often talk about the"last mile"problem,which refers to the difficulty of bringing Internet access to remote locations.In cities and suburbs(郊區(qū)),it's relatively easy to provide access for everyone.It is much more difficult to deliver access to those living far from cities,especially in developing countries.Internet service providers,for their part,have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely (稀疏地) populated areas.The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn't cover the expense.
But every year,technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users.Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and telephone lines although these technologies aren't available everywhere.
Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines.Advancements in cheaper,more efficient fiber optics cables (光纖電纜) promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users.Still,the"last mile"problem remains hard to deal with.There will always be somewhere that doesn't have an affordable broadband connection.But someday that might not matter.If the rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication,it may not be too long before an Internet connection simply follows you wherever you go.

41.The underlined part"a catch"(in Paragraph 2)probably means"D".
A.a(chǎn) big task      B.a(chǎn) wonderful plan
C.a(chǎn) major city    D.a(chǎn) hidden problem
42.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?D
A.Internet connections have been popular everywhere.
B.Internet service providers are willing to care about rural(農(nóng)村的)customers.
C.Computer can't become popular in developing countries.
D.The problem of Internet access hasn't been completely dealt with.
43.Paragraph 4mainly tells us that technological advancementsC.
A.make TV and telephone available everywhere
B.bring great change to people's everyday life
C.make it possible for more people to use the Internet
D.bring faster Internet connections to users
44.What may eventually settle the"last mile"problem?D
A.The broadband connection's getting faster.
B.More and more Internet users.
C.More and more Internet connections.
D.The rapid progress in cell phone technology.
45.The best title for this passage may beA.
A.Internet Connection Problems
B.Internet Connections Need Improving
C.Progress in Internet Connections
D.Internet Connections Today.

6.Why People Get Tattoos
Jack lay,quiet and unmoving,for thirty minutes while a stranger repeatedly stabbed (刺) him with sharp needles,causing blood to pour steadily out of his leg.Jack was getting a tattoo.His friend Tony had recently gotten a tattoo,and Jack was so impressed by it that he decided to get one too.Peer pressure,media influence,and personal expression are some of the common reasons for wearing tattoos today.
The desire to be accepted by one's friends or peers can have a great influence on what a person does.Sometimes,wearing a tattoo can be a sign that you belong to a certain group.Gangs often use special clothes and tattoos to identify their particular group.Some of these groups wear only brand-name clothes.Others wear tattoos.When a person's friends are all doing something,that person in more likely to do the same thing.
The media is another big influence behind the popularity of tattoos in North America.A wide variety of media images(人物,圖象) show tattoos-people appearing in commercials selling expensive cars,famous sports heroes with tattoos in magazines,fashion models wearing designer clothes that show their bodies tattooed with detailed and colourful patterns.These media images link tattoos to ideas of wealth,success,and status.As a result,many people decide to get a tattoo for its fashion and status value.
Many people decide to wear tattoos in order to express their artistic nature,their beliefs,or their feelings-in other words,to show their individuality(個性).A musician in a rock band may get a tattoo of a guitar on the arm.Some environmentalists may tattoo pictures of endangered animals on their shoulders.A tattoo can be a public sign to show what is important in a person's life.
As you can see,there are many reasons why young North Americans get tattoos.A tattoo can be part of a group's uniform,a sign of fashion.or an expression of individuality.The decision to get a tattoo is most often a result of the influence of friends or media or the desire to express oneself.For Jack,it was a mixture of all three.

A.show his great bravery

7.Most people have some common sense.When we see something suspicious on TV,in the newspaper,or on the Internet,we roll our eyes and wonder how anyone could believe something so stupid.Nevertheless,there are stories that even educated people still believe.These tales may or may not be true,but they leave us wondering whether they are real or not.On National Geographic Channel,these stories are dissected(剖析) in full detail in the series Is It Real.
Thousands of years ago,aliens landed on the Earth.They tampered (破壞) with the evolution of humans and the results of this can be seen practically everywhere.Sound ridiculous?Not to some people.Believe it or not,there are those who believe that alien astronauts had a hand in making the human race what it is today.Travel back in time with Ancient Astronauts and visit our"alien ancestors".
In the autumn of 1888,Jack the Ripper roamed(漫游) the streets of London's East End.After his reign(統(tǒng)治) of terror was over,five women had been killed.To this day,the mystery of who killed these ladies remains unsolved.No one knows for sure,but the truth may be revealed on Jack the Ripper.
Vampires(吸血鬼).Just the thought of these fictional beasts is enough to make your blood run cold.While we may think that they only come to life in books and movies,vampires are actually based on real people.Historians,folklorists,scientists and doctors all work together to investigate the plausibility(似乎合理) of vampires.Take a bite into this juicy mystery on Vampires.
No other channel can offer this type of programming other than National Geographic Channel.In this unique series,they've stripped away 12myths that have stood the test of time to expose the truth and find out the answer to the question-Is it real?
