题目内容

   There is an old Italian tradition called “suspended (待用)coffee”. There,you pay for two cups of coffee but only take one,so that someone can go into the cafe and enjoy the other coffee for free. This way,no-money people can still enjoy coffee.

    Now,this model is catching on in China. It is “suspended fast food. ” Many people think it's a great way to help someone who is more disadvantaged (写导势 的) than us. On the other hand,some people don't think it's a good idea. They don't know if these people taking the meals are really in need of help or just out for a free lunch. Also,how do we know the restaurant owners won’t just pocket (隐藏) the money and give out (分发) the food?

    This is really a trust issue. In fact,it's sometimes difficult to decide if we should give a beggar (乞丐) on the street a little money. Maybe they really need our help; it's also possible that they aren’t really homeless but just don't want to work.

But all in all,hopefully we can trust those enough to do the right thing.

   A. new   B. modern

   C. traditional   D. ancient

2. Who can enjoy suspended coffee in the country?

   A. Every person. B. The rich.

   C. The old. D. The poor.

 ② Some people don't pay for the meals.

 ③ The restaurant owners don't give out the food.

 There will be more and more homeless people.

    A. ①②   B. ①③

   C. ①③④   D. ①②③④

4. What does “trust issue” refer to (指的是) ?

   A. Eating habit. B. Honesty problem.

   C. Big decision. D. Clever idea.

5. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage?

   A. We shouldn’t believe the beggar.

   C. We can trust those enough to do the right thing.

  导读本文以意大利传统的“待用咖啡”和在中国悄然兴起的 “待用快餐”这两种慈善活动为事例,分析了我们是否应相信那些需要帮助的人。

详析

1. C细节理解题。由第一段首句“There is an old Italian tradition called ‘ suspended coffee’可知,“待用咖啡” 这项活动是意大利传统的慈善活动。

2. D推理判断题。由第一段最后—句“This way,no-money people can still enjoy coffee. ”可知,那些没钱的人就可 以通过这项活动品尝咖啡。句中no-money people与D 选项的the poor是同一类人。

3. B细节理解题。细读第二段On the other hand...后面的分析可知,人们参与“待用快餐”活动,主要担心两件 事:一是担心有人占小便宜骗吃一顿饭,另一个担心就 是老板会不会按照约定发放食物。故选B.

4. B词义猜测题。画线短语下文中,分析了“待用快餐”这项慈善活动会有两种效果,一个就是实实在在地帮助 了那些有困难的人们,另一个结果就是有些人借此骗 吃骗喝、不劳而获。这一段分析的是诚信问题。故 trust issue应理解为“诚信问题”,选B.

5. C推理判断题。本文作者从正反两个方面分析了活动的利和弊,最后提出了自己的主张,那就是“要相信他们, 把好事做下去”。

障碍句分析

They don't know if these people taking the meals are really in need of help or just out for a free lunch.

他们不知道带走饭菜的这些人是真的很需要帮助,还是只为了找一份免费的午餐

这是一个复合句。

if意为“是否”,作连词,连接的是宾 语从句。宾语从句中,taking the meals是分词短语作后置定 语,修饰people ,意为“拿走快餐的人们”。

   A study shows that today's children play outdoors just half as much as their parents did when they were young.

They stay indoors most of their time. They watch TV,play computer games and,in some cases (情况) , even do their homework. Figures show that in the 1970s and 1980s children enjoyed more than two hours of outside play on weekdays,and even nine hours on weekends—whatever the weather is. But today's youngsters (年轻人,小孩) stay outside for just over an hour on weekdays,and fewer than five hours on Saturdays and Sundays.

   It also shows that 58 per cent of parents wish their children played outdoors more often,and they seriously worry their children don't spend enough time playing outdoors.

   In fact,playing outdoors is so important for children—not only to help them stay active and healthy,but also to communicate (交流) with friends,and make those colorful childhood (童年时代) which we look back on so warmly.

    And because they don't go out,they don't know their own communities as well as their parents did,they don't have as many friends in the area and they don't have the same chances for fun as their parents did.

1. How long do today's children play outdoors on each weekday according to the study?

   A. More than one hour.

   B. More than two hours.

   C. Fewer than five hours.

    “Dream may be more important than sleep. We all need to dream ,” some scientists say.

They come to us over and over again.    That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an answer.

Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They may think about their work all day. These thoughts (想法) can carry over into dreams.

      My daughter was too lazy to read,so I gave her a choice. If she wanted to,she could go to bed 30 minutes later than her younger brother,but she had to spend that time in her room reading. It worked great,and now she spends one more hour than her brother reading. She knows that if she doesn’t read,her bed time is the same as her brother's,so she always chooses to read unless (如果不) she is really tired or sick. I hope this can help. I also allow each child to spend one hour and a half watching TV programs every night and half an hour playing video games. My daughter reads or plays in her room when her little brother watches cartoons,and when she watches game shows,my son plays with toys. I read to my 4-year-old son before bed every night while my daughter is reading. I usually go into her room and listen to her reading for about 10 to 20 minutes.
