12.I hated dinner parties.But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London.And my friend Mallery invited me.And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York.There,"I'm having a dinner party"means:"I'm booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can't afford and we'll be sharing the checque evenly,no matter what you eat."Worse,in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives.They'll throw down cash,half of what they owe,and then people like me,who don't drink,end up paying even more.But if I try to use the same trick,the hostess will shout:"Where are you going?"And it's not like I can say I have somewhere to go:everyone know I have nowhere to go.
   But in London,dinner parties are in people's homes.Not only that,the guests are an interesting mix.The last time I went to one,the guests were from France,India.Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York.The mix is less striking.It's like a gathering at Bloomingdale's,a well-known department store.
   For New Yorkers,talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York.But at Mallery's,when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently,people knew where it was.In New York people would think it was a usual new club.
5.What does the word"shot"in Paragraph 1 probably mean?B
A.Choice.       
B.Try         
C.Style.       
D.Goal
6.What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York?C
A There is a strange mix of people.
B.The restaurants are expensive.
C.The bill is not fairly shared.
D.People have to pay cash
7.What does the author think of the parties in London?D
A.A bit unusual         
B.Full of tricks.
C.Less costly.
D.More interesting.
8.What is the author's opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?B
A.Easy-going.
B.Self-centred.
C.Generous.
D.Conservative.

分析 本文主要讲述的是作者对于在纽约参加聚会和来伦敦参加聚会的区别,说明自己宁愿参加伦敦的聚会而表示纽约的聚会.

解答 5.B.推理判断题.根据本句I hated dinner parties.But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London.说明我本来不喜欢这样的聚会,但是这次我决定再试一次,因为这是在伦敦,跟纽约的情况不一样.故B正确.
6.C.细节理解题.根据第二段1,2行Worse,in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives.They'll throw down cash,half of what they owe,说明在纽约的聚会上很多人都没有真正做到AA制,都少付自己应该付的钱.故C项内容正确.
7.D.推理判断题.根据第三段Not only that,the guests are an interesting mix.The last time I went to one,the guests were from France,India,Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations.说明在伦敦的聚会非常有趣,有来自世界各地的人在一起,就像是联合国开会一样.故D项正确.
8.B.推理判断题.根据最后一段第一行For New Yorkers,talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York说明在纽约说起其它的地方就是布鲁克林和国王大街,纽约人很自我,认为自己是世界上最好的,故B项正确.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

17.Michael Jordon is the greatest basketball player of all time.Once he was making a television commercial (广告).All Michael needed to do in the advertisement was to miss a shot.
For Michael,this was difficult.He had conditioned himself to succeed whenever he was throwing the ball.Every time he threw a basketball,it went in.Every time he tried to miss a shot,he failed.In total,it took him over 20 attempts (尝试) before he missed a shot.

Many people think that success is difficult to maintain (维持).They feel that it will be hard work and will need too much action and focus.The truth is that it is simply a habit,and as easy to maintain as any other habit.

2.Everyone seems to be living for someone else.
I had once helped a friend run a watermelon stall.I noticed something interesting:almost every buyer would lift the melon up to their ear,and tap it,apparently trying to listen to something.I wondered what they expected to hear.Finally I could no longer hold back my curiosity and asked a customer-an elderly gentleman-about this.Hearing my question,he roared with laughter.Then he replied in a self-mocking (自嘲) tone,"Young lady,I have been doing this for more than fifty years.But all I know is that everybody would stare at you as if you were a fool if you just pick up a melon and leave!"
Not long after that,my watermelon stall friend sent me an invitation to her wedding,which really surprised me.I asked her,"Why are you seized by a sudden desire to get married?I don't remember ever hearing you mention that you've got a boyfriend."She answered while counting money,"Everyone has to get married anyway,so it is better to get married sooner than later."
I could think of no word to refute (反驳) her.It seems that everybody is living for everybody else and has forgotten the need of their own heart.It may be safe and save a lot of worries by following others'suit in doing things.The use of WE or US will give one a steady and sure sense of pride.But why do people usually feel uneasy when using"I"?.
I find all these things somewhat funny.We have got used to following others'example.We feel at ease and justified simply because this is a way of US,a way which has been practiced by so many people.But is this massive practice really right?

25.Why did the elderly gentleman tap the watermelon before buying it?C
A.Because he expected to hear something.
B.Because he was a fool.
C.Because he just wanted to follow the crowd.
D.Because it was his habit and it was hard for him to give it up.
26.Which word can replace the underlined word"justified"in the last paragraph?A
A.reasonable B.embarrassed C.excited D.disappointed
27.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?B
A.It may be safe to do what most people do.
B.People should live for others and forget their own heart.
C.The writer felt unexpected when her friend wanted to get married.
D.The use of We or I will give speakers themselves quite different senses.
28.In which section of a magazine can you read the passage?D
A.Nature and Art
B.Sport and Health
C.Science and Technology
D.Culture and Society.
