本文讲述了一个因为长相酷似犯罪嫌疑人的一家饭店的常客,被侦探盯上,但由于大家都认识他才没陷于麻烦之中的故事。

1.C前文交代了作者正坐在餐桌旁等待上菜的情景,说明作者此时并无寻找某人的意图。所以,当他注意到坐在窗子边一张桌旁的一个人时,应是突然的行为。

1.B结合上文提到的kept glancing和下文as if he knew me的描述可知,那人是在朝作者这边看。

2.B根据下文,侦探假装在读报,所以报纸一定是打开的。

3.C根据上文The man had a newspaper open in front of him的描述,侦探肯定是假装在读报以便偷窥。pretend to do sth.意思是"假装做某事"。

4.A通过上文一系列的描述可知,下文是作者得出的心理结论。因此,"看出/明白"最符合该语境。

6.D根据上文waking for the food…,服务生端来的一定是my food。

7.B下文all the waiters in the restaurant knew me说明了答案。

8.A   "聊天"与familiar—词最吻合。

9.B由even more可知,此处填puzzled与上文形成呼应。

10.C侦探通过观察发现,作者不仅同那位服务生很熟。随着时间的过去,他明显地感觉到,饭店里的服务员都认识作者,这就是侦探感到更疑惑的原因。

11.D从下文,He came into the kitchen and showed me a photo…可知答案。

12.A从下文作者向老板了解情况的描述可知侦探发现真相后就没必要再看他一眼了。

13.A从随后的叙述来看,作者是想知道侦探进厨房想要干什么。

14.C从其后表原因的从句可知,他是跟踪作者来到餐馆的。discover表偶然"发现",与原因状语从句不能构成因果关系。

15.D侦探跟随作者来到餐馆是因为把后者当成他正在寻找的人了。

16.B听到上述老板的话,作者当然感到很惊讶了。

17.A侦探走进厨房给老板看了被通缉的那个人的照片。

18.B因老板知道作者只是长得与嫌疑犯很相像,所以他告诉侦探他搞错了。

19.D听了老板的描述作者才明白真相,所以觉得很庆幸他是在这家人人都认识他的饭店里就餐。

20.C联系上文来看,若不是在这样一个人人都认识作者的地方,他可能已陷于麻烦之中了。

  Host;

  Tonight is New Year's Eve. Many people will attend New Year's parties where they will drink alcohol. A listener in Vietnam wrote to ask why a person in the United States must be at least twenty-one years old to do this legally. Nguyen Hoang Phong noted that eighteen years is the legal age for drinking alcohol in most countries. Here is Faith Lapidus with our answer.

  Faith Lapidus:

  Discussing the drinking age in the United States can lead to an argument. I will try to ex?plain both sides of this issue.

  In nineteen-eighty-four,Congress passed a measure called the National Minimum Drinking Age Act. President Ronald Reagan signed the measure into law. It bars people in the United States from drinking alcohol unless they are twenty-one years of age or older. States must obey the law or risk losing federal money for building roads and road repairs. The measure was the result of work by several lawmakers and groups such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving.

  Last July,that group and members of Congress celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the law. They praised the measure as one of the most effective anti-drunk driving laws ever passed. They said that twenty-thousand lives have been saved since its passage. However, some oppo?nents of the measure say it did not save anyone. They say young people who want to drink will find a way to get alcohol. They also reject the number of young people reportedly saved by the law. They say fewer young people are drinking now than twenty years ago.

  Other people say the National Minimum Drinking Age Act is not fair. They say a young person can join the military and fight in a war at age eighteen. However, they are still not per?mitted to drink alcohol until they are twenty-one.

  Many Americans would like to change the law to make eighteen the age when a person can drink alcohol. But just as many want to keep the drinking age at twenty-one.

The question of a legal drinking age involves ideas of freedom,responsibility,religion, politics and the rights of parents. It is a question that will be argued in the United States for many years to come.

(   ) 1. The writer's purpose in writing the text is to          .

    A. discuss the drinking age in America

    B. answer a question

    C. show us the argument in America

    D. call up people's memory

(   ) 2. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?

    A. All the Americans think that the law is effective.

    B. It was President Ronald Reagan that made the law come into effect.

    C. It is believed that twenty-thousand lives have been saved since the law was signed.

    D. Only those who are over twenty years old in the US can drink alcohol legally. 

(   ) 3. What is "Mothers Against Drunk Driving"?

    A. A department of the Government.

    B. A scientific research institute.

    C. A group of lawmakers.

    D. A kind of social organization.

(   ) 4. What can we infer from the passage?

    A. The state in the US has no right to change the law of the Federal Government.

    B. If a man was not at least twenty-one years old,he wouldn't get any alcohol in the US.

    C. The young people in the USA become mature later than those of the other countries.

    D. It will be not easy to change the law of the drinking age in a short time.

  You are what you eat and fats are a main food for Asia's fast-food generation. Dr. Chwang, director of the Department of Food Nutrition,says children are consuming more meat and soft drinks. This is a thorough departure from the traditional diet of vegetables and rice and little meat. "They like big pieces of fried meat with a soft drink. So although they may eat the same volume of food,their calorie intake(卡路里摄入量) has increased. Now about 40 to 45 percent of their calories come from fat”,says Chwang.

 Although on the whole Asians tend towards thinness,culture―namely Asians' hospitality (好客) 一is the reason for the fatness of today's generation, according to Chwang. " Asian people love food," she says. "Eating and drinking are important social and family functions.” In the past,however, big meals were only hosted on special occasions as people were more careful with money. In today's climate of wealth and remarkable consumption, 10-course meals are no longer reserved for significant occasions.

 More than anyone else,Children are on the receiving end of their parents' improved cir?cumstances. "In the past,people had four or more children―now,they have one or two,so they tend to spoil them," says Chwang. "The easiest way is to give them quality food. Parents think feeding them well is showing their love. They feel bad when their children look thin.”

 When describing the physical condition of most overweight Asian children, Chwang says, "There is a clear relationship between fatness and indoor play. Children get fat because they don't move,and eventually, they don't want to move because they are fat.”

 Thanks to technology, a growing army of children prefer video games to old outdoor sports. " What do children do when watching TV or sitting in front of the computer playing video games? They eat chocolate and drink Coke," says Chwang.

   B.their children don't have a good physical condition

   C.they feel that they don't take good care of their children
