题目内容

  One thing Britain is famous for is pubs,and no trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of the thousands of pubs across the country.

  Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country. They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk,do business,or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.

  There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter,or ale,and is usually served at room temperature. As a result,the British are famous for their " warm beer"！

  If you prefer a cold beer,ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in color whereas bitter is usually a darker brown. Another type of beer is stout—you may have heard of Guinness,which is a type of stout. This is a cold,black beer and takes a long time to pour,so don't be surprised if you have to wait for it.

  All beers are served as pints (500 ml) or halves (250ml) . To order,you need to ask for a pint or half,and then name the beer. So,you could say "A pint of bitter,please."

  Another drink is cider. This is like beer,but it is made from apples so it can taste sweet.

  Wine,red or white,is normally available in all pubs,as are spirits such as whisky,gin or vodka. These are served as singles (25ml) or doubles (50ml) .

It is not,however,necessary to drink alcohol. Nonalcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have juice,lemonade or cola,among others.

  If you visit a pub in a group,it is important to pay for your "round". This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group. Not buying your round is a big social mistake!Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar.

So,follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub,and, "Cheers!"

5. C本文主要介绍的是英国酒吧酒的品种和酒吧的一些规矩，所以选C项，A项和B项是某几段的段落大意,不能代替全文。

6. C从第2段可知A项为错，而和朋友一起去时，只需为每个朋友买一样饮料即可，所以D 项不对，从第5段可知，点酒只能以pints或者halves为单位购买，所以B项不对。从倒数第3段可知C项正确。

7. B本句话指如果不去酒吧，英国之行就不完备，所以，酒吧在英国很重要。

8. B从第1段表达的"如果你去英国就一定不要忘记酒吧"，和下文的一些介绍，可以知道本文主要是写给到英国去的观光客，而不是酒吧的客人。

  Papa was a rancher (牧场主) .He worked with 1        He was proud of the way he 2       ,He always wore clean clothes even when he worked. That is very 3        for a rancher who works outside on a horse farm. He often said to me , " Son,you may not be able to buy the best clothes,but you must always keep those you have 4       . That is the important thing."Papa did what he said. His clothes were 5        dirty like those of most of the other ranchers I knew.

Papa never worked outside 6       a hat. He always wore the same kind of hat. It was a 7       hat. He never pushed the hat to one side of his head,he wore it straight and he did not push the top of his hat 8        like most cowboys do. Papa had 9        hats. One was his Sundayhat,the other was his everydayhat. When his Sundayhat got old,he wore it 10        and then bought a new Sundayhat. He wore his Sundayhat only to church or on holidays. Most of the time he 11        his Sundayhat in a special box. He hid it so we could not find it. Papa loves his hats and he 12        for them in a special way. He never threw them down on the 13       ,someone might sit on them. He even had a special place for his everydayhat. As soon as he came into the house from 14       ,he put his hat on the nail behind the kitchen door.

  Mama was very careful of Papa's hat. She was proud of the way he looked when he worked. She was not 15        to touch his Sundayhat. Then something happened. Maybe it was the 16        of the long summer,maybe Mama read about the hats in a magazine or book,she got the idea that Papa should not wear a 17       wool cowboy hat in the hot weather. She began to believe that Papa would 18        his hair if he did. Mama began to care more about Papa's hair than his hats. Perhaps it was Uncle George who made Mama 19        about Papa's hair. Uncle George had no hair. His head was as smooth as an egg. Papa had fake black hair that shone like 20       . It was terrible if Papa lost his hair because he wore a heavy wool cowboy hat. So Mama began to worry.

 A water bearer in India had two large pots. One of the pots had a crack in it,and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk,the cracked pot arrived only half full.

  For two years this went on daily,with the water bearer delivering one and a half pots full of water to his master's house. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection. After two years of what it had considered to be bitter failure,it spoke one day to the water bearer by the stream.

  "I am ashamed of myself,and I want to apologize to you."

  "Why?" asked the bearer. "What are you ashamed of?"

  "Because this crack in my side I have been able for these last two years to deliver only half my load. Because of my faults,you do not get full value for your efforts," the pot explained.

  The water bearer felt sorry and said, "As we return to the master's house,I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path."Indeed,as they went up the hill,the cracked pot took notice of the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path,and this cheered it some. But at the end of the path,it still felt bad because it had still leaked half of its load,and so again the pot apologized to the bearer for its failure. The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path,but not on the other pot's side? That is because I have always known about your weakness,and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path,and every day while we walk back from the stream,you have watered them. For two years I have been able to pick those beautiful flowers to decorate my master's table. Without you being just the way you are,he would not have this beauty."

  Each of us has our own unique weakness. We are all cracked pots. But if we will allow it,the Lord will use our weakness to grace His Father's table. In God's great economy,nothing goes to waste. Don't be ashamed of your weakness. Acknowledge them,and you too can be the cause of beauty. Know that in our weakness we find our strength.

  The soldiers cheered as the train crossed the border into the state of Wisconsin. It had been a 1       trip from the south back to their homes in the north.

  One of the men had a 2       red scar across his forehead. Another had an injured leg that 3        it painful for him to walk. The third had 4        large and bright eyes,because he had been sick with malaria.

He had given three years of his life to his 10        And now he had very little money and strength 11        for his family.

  Morning came slowly with a pale yellow light. The train was 12        down as it came into the town of La Crosse where the three soldiers would get off the train. The station was 13        because it was early on Sunday. "I'll get home 14        for dinner," Smith thought. "She usually has dinner at about one o'clock on Sunday afternoon," and he 15       .

  They jumped off the train together. "Well,boys," Smith began, "here's where we say goodbye. We've 16       together for many miles. Now,I suppose,we are done."The three men found it 17        to look at each other.

  "We 18       go home with you," one of the soldiers said to Smith. " You'll never be able to walk all those miles with that heavy 19        on your back."

  "Oh,Fm all right," Smith said,putting on his army cap. "Every step takes me 20        to home."

  They all shook hands. "Goodbye！”"Good luck！”"Same to you!" "Goodbye！”

  When Kristi was born,the doctor pointed out that her feet were turned inward (向内扭曲) ."Left 1      ,it would be a problem," he told us.

  We did our best to help our baby. When she was only two weeks old,I brought her back to the doctor,just as he had 2        and the doctor put her 3        feet into casts. Because she was growing,I had to take her 4        to the doctor every two weeks to have each foot recast.

  5       the casting was finished,and it was time for 6        shoes and bars. Jim and I watched with hope and concern as she 7        to walk. Those first,awkward steps made us so 8       .

  When she 12        six,we entered her in skating lessons and soon she was gliding like a swan. We watched in 13        as she skimmed the ice. She worked hard at every new movement. She loved the ice and her dedication 14       . At the senior World Championships in 1991,she won the women's singles!Then we found ourselves filled with love and 15        in France,at the 1992 Winter Olympics,as our daughter,Kristi Yamaguchi won the gold medal.

  Narrator： (scene shows an old woman,washing her supper dishes) For several years,a widow has lived in her own pleasant tworoom and kitchenette apartment in a rebuilt brownstone near East River. Her late husband,Mr. H. T. Miller,had left a fair amount of insurance money before he passed away. Mrs. Miller is,in fact,not an average sixty-one-year-old woman;she has little interest outside her apartment,has no friends to speak of,and she only ventures out as far as a nearby grocery store. No one who lives near her has taken note of her existence,with her oldfashioned dress and oldfashioned hairstyle,and she never uses any cosmetics (化妆品) .Her daily activities are monotonous,smoking an occasional cigarette,preparing her own meals,feeding her canary (a kind of bird) named " Tommy"， and keeping her tworoom apartment as clean as possible. (Mrs. Miller sits down on her couch,reading through the afternoon newspaper.) Narrator： (camera changes scene to Rod Serling,a glowing cigarette held in his hand) One would think that her life would be as normal as anyone else's. She doesn't mind the wall of isolation she has created around herself all these years. But all of this is going to change. Mrs. Miller is going to meet a person,a small child,who,like her,has no friends,goes through life unnoticed,and ventures only as far as Mrs,Miller. Would it be a dream of happiness come true? Or perhaps the worst nightmare Mrs. Miller has ever experienced ...In the Twilight Zone!Title shows： " Miriam" Act I：At the Theater (Scene 1,at Mrs. Miller's apartment)

  Most,if not all,Chinese are financially better off thanks to over 30 years of reform and opening up. But are we any happier?

  Various surveys and rankings attempt to answer this question.

  Though sociologists have presented varying percentages based on different criteria,their answers tend to find we are generally happier,and the number of optimists rises each year.

  But each survey reveals a worrisome fact that a sizable portion,10 percent at the lowest,of respondents were not content with their lives or not hopeful about the future.

  We cannot be content with the fact that at least 130 million of our countrymen are not happy.

  Although a sense of happiness remains a luxury for many of our compatriots because of poverty,we agree financial wellbeing is not the sole determinant of happiness.

  For most of us,except the extremely rich and naturally born optimists,there simply are too many variables that may kill the feeling of happiness.

  These include,but are not limited to,rising housing prices,tight and instable job market,backbreaking schooling expenses and medical bills. 

  The most common one,however,is a low sense of security.

  An eyecatching characteristic of our economy is its high savings rate,at 46 percent now.

  Explaining the rise in savings and drop in spending in their city,Beijing municipal statisticians pointed that in the low-and-middle-income group there was too much uncertainty regarding employment,income,housing,medical situations,and education.

  How can you feel happy when you always have to brace ( = prepare) yourself for the unexpected?

  It may be beyond the government's reach,to guarantee higher income for every citizen. But it does have a burden to create an environment where all citizens can feel a reasonable level of security.

  There was an inclusive '* safety network" when the government encouraged officials to leave public offices in 1980s in attempts to downsize public service. The idea was to offer officials secure pay and benefits so they would not have to worry about guarantees after their departure from positions of power.

  It is time the government displayed similar creativity and resolve to address a much larger sense of uncertainty.

   D. they are bothered by the rising prices
