8.Frank Smithson woke up and leaned over to turn off the alarm clock."Oh no!"he thought to himself."Another day at that office; a boss who shouts at me all the time."
As Frank went downstairs his eyes fell on a large brown envelope by the door.He was overjoyed when he opened it and read the letter inside."Bigwoods Football Pools(足球赌博公司)would like to congratulate you.You have won half a million pounds."
Frank suddenly came to life.The cigarette fell from his lips as he let out a shout that could be heard halfway down the street.
At 11:30Frank arrived at work."Please explain why you're so late,"his boss said."Go and jump in the lake,"replied Frank."I've just come into a little money so this is good-bye.Find yourself someone else to shout at."
That evening Frank was smoking a very expensive Havana cigar(雪茄) when a knock was heard on the door.He rushed to the door.Outside were two men,neatly(整洁) dressed in grey suits."Mr.Smithson,"one of them said,"we're from Bigwoods Football Pools.I'm afraid there's been a terrible mistake…"

29.What do we know about Frank?D
A.He was a lazy man.
B.He was a lucky person.
C.He didn't make a lot of money.
D.He didn't get on well with his boss.
30.When he heard the knock at the door,Frank probably thoughtB.
A.someone had come to make an apology
B.someone had come to give him the money
C.his friends had come to ask about the football pools
D.his friends had come to congratulate him on his luck
31.On hearing"…there's been a terrible mistake…"Frank was most likely to beC.
A.disappointed           B.worried    
C.nervous                D.curious.

分析 这篇短文讲述的是Frank在公司经常受老板的气,但是有一天他受到一封信说他中了50万的奖,他很高兴,终于不会再受老板的气了.当老板再次批评他的时候,他毅然决然的辞职了.但是当天晚上,两个人来到Frank的家告诉他,他们犯了一个错误…

解答 29.D 推理判断题.根据文章中第一段的这句话a boss who shouts at me all the time."可知,Frank的老板总是对他大声喊叫,所以我们可以推测出Frank和老板的关系不是很好.故选D.
30.B 推理判断题.根据文章的最后一段,当Frank听到敲门声时,他rush to the door,他冲到了门那,可见他非常的兴奋,加上他意为自己中了大奖,所以他应该是以为是他的朋友们来祝贺他来了.故选B.A意为有人来道歉;D意为他的同事来祝贺他;C意为他的邻居来询问足球彩票的事.这些选项都不符合文意.
31.C 推理判断题.根据文意可知,Frank以为自己中了50万的大奖,所以当Bigwoods Football Pools的人来到家里,并且说他们犯了一个错误的时候,Frank应该是感到很紧张,他害怕是自己中奖的事有什么出错的地方.故选C.因为这里Bigwoods Football Pools的人还没有说是什么事情,故不应该是disappointed 失望或worried 担心;curious 好奇的.不符合文意.

点评 本文是人物故事类阅读理解.做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.

16.Ten years ago I used to be very fit.I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends.I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks.In those days I didn't earn very much.I had a job in an office.It wasn't a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.
Then,about eight years ago,I got a much better job.The pay was better,but the hours were a lot longer.I bought a car and drove to work every day.I began to take people out to lunch.And I began to put on weight,too.I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn't have any time for things like that any more.
There's a lot of stress(压力) in my job.Perhaps that's why I started drinking more than I used to.For example,I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home,but then I started filling my glass to the top,and instead of having one glass,I would have several.I started smoking a lot,too.I never used to smoke at all.
Two months ago I had a heart attack.At first I just couldn't believe it.Luckily it wasn't very serious.The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less.He also advised me to work less and get more exercise.But I just haven't any time!My job takes everything out of me!
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job.Perhaps I could do something as I used to.But if I do that,I won't earn as much.I have a family to support.I have to think of them,too.I just don't know what I should do.What do you think?

13.With an increasing number of foreigners visiting China each day,many restaurants around China are providing English versions of their menus to make it easier for foreign visitors to order Chinese dishes.Some restaurants even hope to add the foreigners'knowledge of Chinese menu.
But an article in the China Youth Daily claims that the English menu translations have failed to live up to public expectations.It argues most of the English names of Chinese dishes lack the cultural meaning and attraction of the dishes they describe.Instead,the translations only provide a list of each dish's ingredients,the article notes.For example,one English name of a Chinese dish appears as"Steamed Abalone with Shark's Fin and Fish Maw in Broth",which fails to describe the dish's rich cultural meaning and charm.The dish's beautiful Chinese name,"Fo Tiao Qiang",has a story behind it.Buddhist monks are required to eat vegetables only,but they can't resist the delicious dish.So they jump over the temple walls to get a taste of the dish.
The article suggests that translators provide more beautiful translations of the names of Chinese dishes.It also notes a more vivid(生动的) English translation is very important to provide international visitors with a better understanding of Chinese cuisine.

21.The underlined phrase"live up to"in the second paragraph probably meansA.
A.satisfy           B.interest        
C.encourage         D.get
22.For what purpose does the author use the example of"Fo Tiao Qiang"?D
A.To prove that not all monks are vegetarians,and that some of them are fond of eating delicious food just like ordinary people.
B.To explain that the translation of Chinese dishes is not that easy.
C.To tell us that every Chinese dish has a story behind it.
D.To show that Chinese dishes'names have rich cultural meanings behind them.
23.What would be the best title for the passage?B
A.Ways to Translate Chinese Menus
B.Better Menu Translations Are Needed
C.Are English Translations of Chinese Menus Necessary?

18.It was reported that a 95-year-old Grandma was refused to be supported by her eight children and was forced to take her own children to court.
       Treating the old well is a traditional virtue in China.For those who don't,it is necessary to read the letter written by a parent:
Dear son,
       The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health,have patience and try to understand me.
        If  I get dirty when eating,if I can not dress,please have patience and remember the hours I spent teaching it to you.If,when I speak to yo u,I repeat the same things thousand and one times,do not interrupt me,listen to me.When you were small,I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you got to sleep.When I do not want to have a shower,neither shame me nor scold me.Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented in order that you didn't want to bathe.When you see my knowing little about new technologies,give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄).I taught you how to do so many things:to eat food,to dress well,to confront life…When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation,let me have the necessary time to remember,and if I cannot do it,do not become nervous,as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me.
       If ever I do not want to eat,do not force me.I know well when I need to and when not.When my tired legs do not allow me to walk,give me your hand,the same way I did when you gave your first step.And when someday I say to you that I do not want to live any m ore----that I want to rest forever,do not get angry.Someday you will understand.
       Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived.Some day you will discover that,despite my mistakes,I always wanted the best thing for you and I tried to prepare the way for you.Please be next to me,try to understand me and help me as I did it when you started living.I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
   I love you,son.
