16.In China,chain restaurants-especially the big multinational ones-are cool.Going to Starbucks,for example,is a status symbol.It not only says,"I'm rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,"but also,"I'm cosmopolitan (见多识广的) enough to be part of globalization."
Where I come from in the UK,however,chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet(美食的).Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere else is open,or when you are 5years old and your parents can't stand hearing,"I'm huuuuuungry!"any longer.In my own case (with regards to McDonald's),a chain is where you are taken on your first"date".Even at the age of 13,I knew to give the guy the"let's just be friends"phone call the next day.
In the UK,independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene.Nowadays,a Londoner who says"let's meet for a coffee at Monmouth"(an independent cafe) is much cooler than one who says"let's go to Starbucks".Even if Monmouth's coffee is a little more expensive,there's a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren't going straight to the big corporations.
Of course,there are chain stores all over the UK; you can't go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee.But numbers do not add up to good taste.
I do,however,have a confession (坦白).After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much.I,too,have retreated  to McDonald's.

24.Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants becauseC.
A.the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture
B.the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants
C.they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status
D.these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date
25.Which of the following statements is TRUE?C
A.The author has grown tired of Chinese food.
B.Branches of Monmouth's cafe can be found all over the UK.
C.Most independent stores are closed on New Year's Day in the UK.
D.It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant.
26.We can infer from the article thatD.
A.the author doesn't like food from Pizza Hut
B.the author doesn't like to follow fashion trends
C.many Britons think that numbers mean poor quality
D.many Britons don't like big corporations
27.What does the underlined word (in the last paragraph) mean?D
A.adapted         B.contributed       
C.subscribed      D.switched.

分析 很多中国人喜欢去星巴克,主要是想炫耀自己的财富和社会地位,在英国人们并不喜欢星巴克这样的连锁餐厅,他们更愿意去另外一些有独特风格的餐厅.

解答 24-27CCDD
24.C  根据第一段最后一句It not only says,"I'm rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,"but also,"I'm cosmopolitan (见多识广的) enough to be part of globalization."可知很多中国人到星巴克喝咖啡是炫耀富、见多识广以及社会层次高.故C项正确.
考点定位:细节理解 
25. C 根据第二段第二句Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere else is open,or when you are 5 years old and your parents can't stand hearing,"I'm huuuuuungry!"any longer.在英国当其他的餐厅关门的时候,人们才会去连锁餐厅用餐.也就是说在新年这样的日子里,大部分的independent stores都是不营业的额,所以这时人们才会去星巴克之类的连锁店用餐.故C正确.
考点定位:细节理解
26.D 根据第三段最后一句Even if Monmouth's coffee is a little more expensive,there's a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren't going straight to the big corporations.顾客对于自己的钱没有直接进入星巴克这样的大公司非常高兴.也就是说很多英国人并不喜欢这些大公司.故D正确.
考点定位:推理判断
27. D 句子的"however"是关键词.根据文章最后一段I do,however,have a confession (坦白).After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much.I,too,have retreated to McDonald's.作者原来并不喜欢星巴克之类的连锁店,但是他要坦白的是,来到中国以后,吃了太多的宫保鸡丁,他还是转变去吃了麦当劳.他去吃麦当劳主要因为饮食不习惯的问题.所以该词"retreated"意为"改变、改变".故D项正确.

11.You may know the English letters A,B and C.But do you know there are people called ABC?You may like eating bananas.But did you know there is such a thing as a"banana person"?How strange!Are these people from"another earth"?No.They are just Chinese people like you and me.
ABC means American-born Chinese.An ABC is a Chinese,but was born in the United States.Sometimes,people call an ABC a"banana person".A banana is yellow outside and white inside.So,when a person is a banana,he or she is white inside-thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside-looking like a Chinese.
Do you know why?Usually,ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language.Some of them don't speak Chinese.Also,they are not interested in Chinese politics.
But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese,can we still call them Chinese people?Yes,of course.They are Chinese.They are overseas (海外的) Chinese.These people may be citizens(公民) of another country like the US,Canada or Singapore.But they have Chinese blood.Their parents,grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China.They all have black eyes and black hair.But they are not Chinese citizens.They are not people of the People's Republic of China.For example,we all know the famous scientist C.N.Yang (杨振宁).He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957.Chinese people love him.But he is an American citizen.

5.Do American children still learn handwriting in school?In the age of the keyboard,some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out.90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting.But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it.One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting.Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10-15 minutes a day,and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day-which really for handwriting is pretty much.
  Many adults remember learning that way-by copying letters over and over again.Today's thinking is that short periods of practice are better.Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself.Instead,they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas.After all,that is why we write.
  Handwriting involves two skills.One is legibility(清楚易认),which means forming the letters so they can be read.The other is fluency-writing without having to think about it.Fluency continues to develop up until high school.
  But not everyone masters these skills.Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting.Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.
  But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school,especially in the early years.American children traditionally first learn to print(用印刷体写),and then to write in cursive(草体字),which connects the letters.But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board,which administers the SAT college admission test.More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.

A.teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching job

D.a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely
