11.Going shopping seems easy,but actually it takes a lot of learning,especially in America.In fact,many Americans who are not so well-off often shop at"sales"or at special stores that sell things at low prices,which you may find interesting.In America,the important rule of dressing is that one should change his or her clothes every day.For example,in an American college,neither professors nor students are seen in the same clothes two days in a row.So you may find it necessary to buy more clothes than you have in China.While you are shopping in the States,you will discover that prices range considerably from time to time.The purchase of used,second-hand clothing,furniture,or other household articles may be an excellent way of saving money.Most second-hand clothes are of pretty good quality.If you are going to settle down in the States and want some furniture,you may go to a "loan closet",where furniture rents at low cost,or you may also go to a"furniture exchange"place in the community.
  Sheets,blankets,and other bedclothes go on sale in most communities twice a year.Advertisements for"white sales"on bed linen,towels,etc.,often appear in January,as well as in May,June or July.Once or twice every season,there will be"garage sales",where you can get almost anything,from a yacht to a pair of shoes,at low prices.Prices at"discount stores"and"thrift shops"are also as low as you can imagine.
  When shopping for food,you should look for special prices for various items that are put on sale weekly.To economize,it would be a good idea for you to plan the weekly menu according to what is on sale,including in it the meats,vegetables,fruits,etc.that can be bought at special prices that week.
Exchange and return policies vary from store to store.You should also keep in mind that exchange and return policies for sales items can be different from standard store policies,especially if the price of the items has been reduced.Ask the merchant about their exchange and return policies before making your purchase.Obtaining an exchange or a return without a store receipt is often difficult.So,to save yourself the headache,you'd better hold on to any paper or other proof of purchase.

分析 本文为社会生活类说明文,文中介绍了在美国购物的学问.在美国购物时常价格变化很大,有不同的购物方式可以节省开支;购买二手物品是省钱的好办法;如果你想在美国居住需要家具,在"loan closet"可以以很低的价格租家具,或去社区的"furniture exchange(家具交换处)";大多数社区"white sales(大减价)"每年两次,可以买床单、毛巾等;garage sales每个季度(即每三个月)一到两场;购买食物时,要根据大减价确定每周的菜单;购物前要搞清退换货政策,保留收据.

解答 CDCAC
41.答案是C.细节理解题;根据第一段第六句"you will discover that prices range considerably from time to time你会发现价格不时变化,变化很大"推断,有时价格变化很大,故选C.
42.答案是D.细节理解题;根据第一段最后一句"If you are going to settle down in the States and want some furniture,you may go to a "loan closet",where furniture rents at low cost"可知,如果你想要在美国定居需要家具,你可以去"Loan closet",那里你可以以很低的价格租到家具,故选D.
43.答案是C.细节理解题;根据第二段第二句"Advertisements for"white sales"on bed linen,towels,etc.often appear in January,as well as in May,June or July."可知,white sales(大减价)常常出现在一月或五到七月,卖床单,毛巾等,故选C.
44.答案是A.细节理解题;根据第二段第三句"Once or twice every season,there will be"garage sales","可知,garage sales每个季度(即每三个月)一到两场,故选A.
45.答案是C.词汇理解题;根据上文语境"Obtaining an exchange or a return without a store receipt is often difficult."可知此处强调保留receipt(收据)的重要性,它们是你购物的证据,故"any paper or other proof"指receipt(收据),答案选择C.

点评 阅读要整体理解文章,在做细节题时根据题干定位细节,在语境中正确理解原句,然后对照选项做出合理的判断;必要的时候要进行推理,透过句子表面看作者的真正意图.如果是主旨大意的判断要把握文章整体,避免以偏概全.

7.What do you think of British people and American people?You might think that there are no differences between the people in the two countries.After all they speak the same language,don't they?But if you ask a British or an American person,the differences are quite great.
What do British people think Americans are like?The British think Americans are very strange.They make a lot of noise and they laugh too loudly.They are rich,and they only think about money.But the British do say that Americans are kind,friendly people.They are happy to help you if you are in trouble.
What do Americans think of the British?Well,they think the British are cold and very unfriendly.They are not interested in success or in making lots of money.They think Britain is the best country in the world.They look down upon other countries.But Americans say that the British are quite good workers.They are brave and honest.And in time of trouble they face difficulties happily.
You can see that these ideas can cause misunderstanding between the British and Americans.But when American and British people become friends,they usually find things are not as bad as they expected.

When a 10-year-old boy gets a first class degree in mathematics or an 8-year-old boy plays chess like a future grand master,they are considered as geniuses.Where does the quality of genius come from?Is it all in the genes or can any child be turned into a genius?And if parents do have a child who might become a genius in the future,what should they do?In this 30-minute film,Barry Johnson,the professor at School of Medicine,New York University will help you discover the answer.
