阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项 （A 、B 、C 和 D ）中，选出最佳选项。

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.

“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were on holiday.” I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is said “vacaciones”. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to houses where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels.

We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means “fun”. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.

English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French, I meant that I would like some more, however to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, Thank you”.

【1】 The author’s Spanish friends wanted advice about _______.

A. some funny English stories

B. finding places to stay in England

C. driving their car on English roads

D. going to England by car

【2】The author suggested that they stay at “bed and breakfast” because _______.

A. it would be convenient for them to have dinners and live

B. it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels

C. they would be able to practice their English in the house

D. there would be no problem about finding accommodation there

【3 】“NO VACANCIES” in English means _______.

A. no free rooms B. free rooms

C. not away on holiday D. they don’t live

【4】If you see road sign that says “Diversion” in England, you will _______.

A. take the road and you will be excited

B. have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself

C. find that the road is blocked by crowds of people

D. have to take a different road

【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

本文通过几个例子说明相同的单词在不同的文化中表示不同的含义，以此提醒我们一定要注意文化上的差异。

【1】B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation.我的朋友们在离开英国之前，咨询我一些关于在英国食宿的建议。本句中的名词accommodation意为“食宿”，也就是住的地方。故B正确。

【2】C 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第三句I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family.可知我建议他们住在“bed and breakfast”家里，意为他们可以和主人练习讲英语。故C正确。

【3】A 推理判断题。根据第二段第五句So they did not go to house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms.可知VACANCIES表示有空闲的房间，那么NO VACANCIES表示相反的含义，也就是没有空闲的房间。故A正确。

【4】D 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means “fun”. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road.在西班牙语中“DIVERSION”意为“有趣”，而在英语中，“DIVERSION”意为“工人正在维修道路，要绕路了”。故D正确。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

For 80 years, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade has kicked off the holiday season with glorious bands, balloons and floats (花车)，and for one day, it has transformed New York City into a living comic book.

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is an annual parade presented by Macy's Department Store. It was first held in 1924. It was organized by Macy's employees, most of whom were first generation immigrants(移民)，who wanted to celebrate holidays like they did in Europe. The employees dressed in costumes(盛装)and marched on the streets with floats, bands and live animals borrowed from a zoo.

With an audience of over a quarter of a million people, the parade was such a success that Macy's declared it would become an annual event.

In 1927 Felix, the Cat became the first parade balloon to float over the city. Large animal shaped balloons replaced the live animals from then on. These giant signature(特有的)balloons are by far the biggest attraction of the parade. Each year sees parade balloons adding new characters from comic strip characters to timeless toys.

One tradition long gone is the releasing of the balloons after the parade. They would float for days and the lucky finder or finders could claim a cash reward if he or she returned the balloon or its remains to Macy's.

The parade has gone on every year except during World War Ⅱ when, aside from not having much to cheer about, the helium(氦气)air and rubber used for the balloons were needed for the war effort.

When the parade returned in 1945，it was televised in New York for the first time and also traveled its current route for the first time.

Nowadays, more than 10,000 people participate in the parade and the National Broadcasting Company(NBC) will nationwide broadcast it live from 9 a．m. to noon. The NBC has even earned several Emmy Awards for this program.

As always, the parade will end with a visit from Santa Claus. The joyful old man will get settled in Macy's Department Store after the parade to start a month long search for who's been naughty and who's been nice.

C．people couldn't afford the expensive parade that time

D．a great misfortune prevented it from going on that time

初，武与李陵俱为侍中。武使匈奴，明年，陵降，不敢求武。久之，单于使陵至海上，为武置酒设乐。因谓武曰：“单于闻陵与子卿素厚，故使陵来说足下，虚心欲相待。终不得归汉，空自苦亡人之地，信义安所见乎?前长君为奉车，从至雍棫阳宫，扶辇下除，触柱折辕，劾大不敬，伏剑自刎，赐钱二百万以葬。孩卿从祠河东后土，宦骑与黄门驸马争船，推堕驸马河中溺死，宦骑亡，诏使孺卿逐捕，不得，惶恐饮药而死。来时太夫人已不幸，陵送葬至阳陵。子卿妇年少，闻已更嫁矣。独有女弟二人，两女一男，今复十余年，存亡不可知。人生如朝露，何久自苦如此！陵始降时，忽忽如狂，自痛负汉，加以老母系保宫。子卿不欲降，何以过陵？且陛下春秋高，法令亡常，大臣亡罪夷灭者数十家，安危不可知，子卿尚复谁为乎?愿听陵计，勿复有云。”武曰：“武父子亡功德，皆为陛下所成就，位列将，爵通侯，兄弟亲近，常愿肝脑涂地。今得杀身自效，虽蒙斧钺汤镬，诚甘乐之。臣事君，犹子事父也，子为父死，无所恨，愿勿复再言！”

陵与武饮数日，复曰：“子卿壹听陵言！”武曰：“自分已死久矣！王必欲降武，请毕今日之，效死于前！”陵见其至诚，喟然叹曰：“嗟乎，义士！陵与卫律之罪上通于天！”因泣下霑衿，与武决去。

【4】下列对本文内容的评述中，有误的一项是

A．先至匈奴且投降匈奴的李陵在“武使匈奴”后不敢求武”，今天看来，是李陵“愧见武”。

B．李陵说降，先言苏武家人的不幸，以绝其归汉之思；后言自身异志的前因后果，欲将心比心，希望以情动之。

C．从苏武对李陵劝降的答语可以看出，苏武的忠汉拒降，一是知恩图报，二是忠君传统。

D．节选的文字是将苏武的忠君与李陵的叛国对比展现的。今天看来，苏武的报恩、忠君未免狭隘，但这正是古代仁人志士爱国的基础和途径。

My parents were in a huge argument, and I was really upset about it. I didn't know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend's house. Though I knew I wouldn't tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the house. I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on.

I was really disappointed because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I'd stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, “Great opportunity.”

“What is it?” I asked.

“To talk, you and I” he said. “To hold a private little meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we're going to do with ourselves now that we're in the situation we are in.”

“But we can't do anything about it. Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.

And that's how the most unbelievable friendship between my grandfather and me started. Sitting in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life — from how fast things change to how they sometimes don't change fast enough. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could safely talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be. Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “I guess that means you'll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”
