分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了英国是一个有着多样性的口音的国家.有些被人热爱的口音而别人则认为是让他们的人感到耻辱的口音.这篇文章介绍了一些不同的英国口音和与之相关的模式.

解答 30.A 细节理解题.对于Scotland,文中句子They are also regularly described as unhealthy 他们也经常被描述为不健康的.对于Liverpool中的句子They are sometimes characterized as lazy and hard-drinking.他们有时表现为懒惰和酗酒.可以看出来自Scotland和Liverpoor的人都被认为是缺乏才智的符合.B、C、D选项不符合两地的人,只符合一个地方的人.所以答案选A.
31.B 细节理解题.根据句子people with a Cockney ( 伦敦腔 ) accent are usually regarded as being cheerful but mostly interested in money.They are seen as city people with no interest in life outside London.带有伦敦口音的人(伦敦腔)通常被视为是活跃的但对钱大多感兴趣.被看作是对伦敦以外的生活毫无兴趣的城市人. uncaring不予关注的;energetic充满活力的;generous with their money  对于钱很大方的;uninterested in life beyond London 对于伦敦远处的生活不感兴趣的.所以B选项符合描述.
32.C细节理解题.根据句子 Birmingham people are viewed as unintelligent and lacking in creativity 伯明翰人被视为是无知和缺乏创新的人.所以答案选C.

点评 本文考查细节题为主,细节题可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息?或是其变体.搜查信息在阅读中非常重要它包括理解作者在叙述某事时使用的具体事实、数据、图表等细节信息.在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节.做这类题一般采用寻读法?即先读题,然后带着问题快速阅读短文,找出与问题有关的词语或句子,再对相关部分进行分析对比,找出答案.

11.This is not a typical summer camp.Michelle Paw law and eight other teenage girls are participating in the three-day camp offered by the Arlington County Fire Department located just outside Washington.Firefighter Clare Burley is in charge of the program,who said the purpose is to try to get young women interested in considering the fire service as a career.
The free-of-charge,overnight camp is designed to let the girls experience what firefighters do to protect the community.That includes some rigorous(严酷的) activities such as moving a fire victim."I didn't think I could pull that 170pound body with a friend,but I was actually able to do it."she said.
They take classes and learn how to climb the ladder on a fire truck,operate emergency tools and rescue an injured person.They also do their share of cleaning the firehouse and the equipment.
"Every week without fail on a Saturday,the job is to wash all the equipment.And we wanted the girls to see this is what we do.This is a typical day in a firehouse,"she said.
Firefighting is still a male-dominated service,but Burley says with 22women on its force of 320the Arlington County Fire Department is above the national average of 4.5percent.She joined the department seven years ago.
"We do everything that the guys do to the same standard.We are tested to the same standard.We are expected to operate at the same standard,"she said.
Most of the girls say they had never thought about becoming a firefighter,but the camp was a great learning experience."I think it is definitely not a job that only men can do.Women can do it just as well as men can,"said Michelle Pawlaw.

7.Many blind people use guide dogs to help them get safely from place to place and to warn them of danger.But what can blind people do if they are allergic(过敏的)to dogs or just don't like them?For some people,the answer is provided by the Guide Horse Foundation.
Janet and Don Burleson founded the organization in 1999.They began training miniature horses to help guide blind people.Miniature horses look just like regular horses,only much smaller.They are generally less than 34 inches tall.
Cuddles was the foundation's first guide horse in full service.She became 45-year-old Dan Shaw's helper.Shaw has an eye disease and his sight is very poor.One night,while filling out a form to get a guide dog,Shaw heard a news story on TV about people training horses to guide the blind.Shaw loves horses and wanted a guide animal that would live a long time.He applied(申请),and a year later,Cuddles and Shaw began training as a team.
On a trip to New York,Cuddles helped Shaw safely tour Times Square,a very busy part of the city at night.The next day,Cuddles calmly rode the elevator with Shaw to the crowded top of the Empire State Building,a famous tall building.Cuddles even guided Shaw on the boat ride to the Statue of Liberty,and traveled on the subway system.
Shaw says that he is very lucky to have Cuddles.He believes that Cuddles has changed his life for the better by giving him the chance to do things himself and making him feel much more confident about himself.

8.Being the youngest child has advantages and disadvantages.On the one hand,babies are spoiled and often get away with behavior that other family members can't.On the other hand,many youngest children feel that they never quite measure up to their more experienced and successful siblings.To borrow a phrase from a famous comedian,they get no respect.
Some parents look on their youngest child as their last chance to do everything right,so the youngest may feel great performance pressure,similar to a firstborn.Other parents will never allow their last child to be unhappy,ever.In most families,however,the parents have more experience and are more likely to give them more freedom on such issues as developmental milestones,toilet training,dating,and so on.They are more confident that things will work out for the best,and their relationship with their lastborn is less intense than that with the older children.
Having some distance in their relationship with their parents can give the lastborn freedom to explore new ideas and new places,but if it is too great,the youngest children may feel disconnected,as though they don't belong to the family.
Since lastborns are seldom the strongest or most capable during childhood,they often carve out a place for themselves by being clever and charming.Within the family,they know how to get along well with their siblings.They may become peacekeepers,but they're also able to cause much trouble when it serves their purposes.Playing the"baby card"also allows them to avoid punishment for wrongdoing,for example,breaking a sibling's toy.
Only with such a full understanding can you,as a parent,help your"baby"develop into a fully grown-up person.

5.What may dissatisfy the youngest child in the family?D
A.Being given too much pressure by the parents.
B.Being looked down upon by the other family members.
C.Not getting along well with their siblings.
D.Feeling that they fail to do as well as their siblings.
6.In most families,the youngest childB.
A.is expected to realize their parents'unfinished dreams
B.lives a life of less pressure from their parents
C.is often ignored and forgotten by their parents
D.doesn't like to get close to his/her parents
7.Which of the following characteristics may NOT appear in the lastborn during their childhood?A
A.Strong-minded.B.Attractive.
C.Sociable.D.Troublesome.
8.By talking about the characteristics of the youngest child,this passageA.
A.gives parents some help in bringing up the youngest child
B.reminds parents to give the youngest child extra care
C.shows it is hard for the youngest child to succeed
D.calls on parents to treat the youngest child fairly.
