解析试题分析:这篇短文讲述了美国的大型购物中心的基本情况及人们喜欢购物中心的原因介绍,包括他给人们的生活带来的巨大便利,已经成为人们生活中不可缺少的一部分。
【小题1】词义猜测题。根据第三段中About 750,000 people shop there every week.一句可知,malls主要就是美国人购物的地方,结合前两段的描述里面有停车场、休息室、警察署以及瀑布等景观,可知mall是指购物中心,
【小题2】推理判断题。根据第四段第一句话The first indoor mall in the United States was built in 1965 in Edina Minnesota.可知第一座地下商场是于1965建立的,不是美国最大的购物中心建立的时间,A项错误;第三段There are parking spaces for 12,750 cars.是说该商场的停车场可容纳75000辆车,并不是说里面有这么多车辆,所以B项错误;结合后面的About 750,000 people shop there every week.一句可推知,这家商场的每周顾客可达75万人,但并不是说可容纳75万人,所以D项错误,第三段中It has 350 stores,可知这家最大的购物中心有350个商店;故选C。
【小题3】观点态度题。根据第四段和第五段以及最后两句话In other words, people can do just about everything in malls. Now people can live in their favorite shopping center in fact.都可明确推断出购物中心给人们的生活带来了巨大的便利;故选A。

“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost everything.
When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say. “It’s cool.” You May think,“He’s so cool,”when you see your favourite football player.
We all maximize(扩大)the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words, such as “new” or “surprising”. Here’s an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used.

My friend, Victor, is a zoo keeper in the National Zoo. His work is very interesting but it is hard. Sometimes it is dangerous, too. Every morning the zoo keepers have to get up at five to prepare the food for the animals. Each kind of animal is given special food. For example, the lions must be given meat; the deer must be given grass and leaves; and the parrots must be given fruit and nuts. Sometimes some animals won’t let the others eat their food. If this happens, each of them must be fed separately (分离地).
Every morning each cage must be washed by the zoo keepers. This can be dangerous, especially with lions and tigers. To make the work easier, the animals are locked in the sleeping compartments (隔间) while the cages are being washed. When the animals are sick, the zoo keepers must look after them. Each sick animal is kept in a separate cage and given medicine. Sometimes they must be given injections. It is not easy to inject a sick lion!
All the keepers live near the zoo. Each of them has a small house. There he lives with his family. They do not have holidays on Sundays and public holidays. Instead, each of them has a day off during the week. Each keeper has a holiday on a different day from that of the other keepers.
The most important job of the keepers is to look after the safety of the visitors. People must be prevented from doing dangerous things. Many people have been injured because they did careless things, like putting their hands into the lion’s cage.
