【解析】本文对耶鲁一个博物馆的各项规定做了简要说明和介绍。首先列出了博物馆的开放时间和收费标准,接着针对参观者可能关心的各个事项进行了说明,例如,参观者如何解决午餐、是否可以摄影、志愿者免费讲解的时间安排等。

1考察细节理解,由 “Admission Fees:$ 5.00—Children ages 3 through 18”内容可知,3-18岁的孩子收费为5美元,故选B。

2考察细节理解。由第二段内容可知,“There is no canteen or lunchroom at the Peabody(博物馆内没有餐厅)”,排除C、D。同时第二段说,参观者可以在当地餐厅或者博物馆附近的草坪吃午餐,故选A。

3考察细节推断。由第三段可知,在展览馆内允许仅由个人使用的摄影,但在The Ancient Age中任何时候都不允许摄影,据此推断The Ancient Age很有可能是其中一个展览馆。而其他选项,一本书”、“一段录像”、“一本杂志都没有在文中提及。故选D。

4考察细节理解。由第三段在展览馆内允许仅由个人使用的摄影可知A错误。B选项,Admission Fee中规定ID卡的大学生收费5美元,由最后一段“Admission is free to any individual with a valid Yale ID. A Museum pass will give you $ 5 off each admission”可知,持耶鲁ID可以免除5美元费用,因此说耶鲁的学生可以免费入场,因此B错误。C选项由第五段可知,仅在6月至9月,每周四下午博物馆对个人免费,并不是所有的周四下午都免费,因此C错误。D选项由第四段可知,Highlights Tours仅在每周六日提供,因此参观者无法在工作日享受这项服务,因此D正确。

【题目】Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.

Recite and repeat in conversation.

When you hear a person’s name,repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.

Ask the other person to recite and repeat.

You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone,ask that person to spell the name mad pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.

Admit you don’t know.

Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”

Use associations.

Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example,you could make a mental note:“Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair.” To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.

Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.

When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.

Go early.

Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others—an automatic review for you.

1How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?

A. They will be moved. B. They will be annoyed.

C. They will be delighted. D. They will be discouraged.

2When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember __

A. all their names B. a couple of names first

C. just their last names D. as many names as possible

3What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Tips on an important social skill.

B. Importance of attending parties.

C. How to make use of associations.

D. How to recite and repeat names.

【题目】阅读下列短文,选出最佳选项。

When I was about ten years old, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee. I knew I could see Mr. Lee any time around the neighborhood, so I didn’t pay any attention to him. After we passed Mr. Lee, my mother stopped me and said something that has stuck with me from that day until now. She said seriously, “You let that be the last time you’ve ever walked by somebody and not opened up your mouth to speak, because even a dog will wag its tail when it passes you on the street.” Mother’s words sound simple, but it’s been a guidepost for me and the foundation of who I am.

It’s not just something I believe in; it’s a way of life. I believe that every person deserves to feel someone acknowledge their presence, no matter how humble (卑微) they may be.

At work, I always said hello to the founder of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people who cleaned the buildings and asked how their children were doing. After a few years of greeting the founder, I had the courage to ask him for a meeting. We had a great talk. At a certain point I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company. He said, “If you want to, you can get all the way to this seat.”

I’ve become vice president, but it hasn’t changed the way I approach people. I still follow my mother’s advice. I speak to everyone I see, no matter where I am. I’ve learned that speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it allows them to come into mine, too.

SHANGHAI-The Huachen Group, which has put 83 million yuan in the development of the e-commerce market since its official registration late last year, recently held a meeting in Shanghai to show the use of its newly opened tourism business payment network. The network aims to serve tourists from all over the world, but especially from Europe and the United States where credit cards are popularly used.

Burning at 2000 degrees, the torch is expected to remain alight three metres underwater because of a special kind of technology which creates a ―fierce flame“ -too powerful to be drowned out by water.” Charles Tegner, managing director of torch creator, said the flame would burn like a flare from oxygen-producing chemicals.

We will observe where he will lead cross-Straits relations. We are willing to exchange views on cross-Straits relations and peaceful reunification with all parties, organizations and personages in Taiwan who favor the one China principle”, says the statesman, which was released by the Taiwan Affairs Office of the CPC Central Committee.
