【题目】B

The rumor proved all too bitterly true: Park’s Hardware, a downtown institution of Orono for over 100 years, would be closing. Locals cross-examined, and begged Lin, the owner of the store, but in vain. Running a small, local, family-owned hardware business was no longer profit-making. The town’s affection for Park’s Hardware was just not enough to allow it to compete against the giant warehouse stores.

I was one member of the excited masses that began to walk through Park’s as, day by day, the lettering on the front window changed from "20% OFF EVERYTHING" to "30%", "40%", and on and on, until the only things left were the light sockets (插座)and doorknobs.

Compared with giant warehouses, a hardware store is special. I recall the time I was exploring in one giant warehouse for a wireless doorbell that Park’s didn’t carry. I found the thing, but didn’t understand the following note on the package: "Red light indicates condition of the battery." "Excuse me," I said to a clerk, holding the item out, "I can’t seem to find the red light." The man examined it, and said, "Neither can I." I contrasted this experience with one I routinely had at Park’s. "Lin," I’d beg. "Can you ... please ...I don’t know ... do you think...?" And quicker than one could say, "little red light," Lin would spring into action and together we’d sit down to find the solution.

I could buy a single screw(螺丝钉) at Park’s. At a warehouse I have no choice but to buy a span>box of a hundred screws. But I don’t want a box of a hundred screws when all I need is one. I just want to know the location of the little red light, and now that Park’s is gone, I realize that I never will.

1 Why did Park’s decide to stop its business?

A. The owner invested in other business.

B. The owner couldn’t make enough money.

C. Its location was not convenient for shopping.

D. It couldn’t win enough affection from the locals.

2What did Park’s do before closing?

A. It had a closing down sale. B. It struggled for its reorganization.

C. It distributed its goods to regulars. D. It looked for a new owner.

3What does the writer’s experience in Paragraph 3 indicate?

A. The benefit of having more choices.

B. The pressure of competition for Park’s.

C. The good service of Park’s.

D. The responsible working attitude of large stores.

4What’s the writer’s tone in writing this passage?

A. Humorous. B. Supportive. C. Critical. D. Regretful.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】

【语篇解读】本文为记叙文,涉及家庭、朋友与周围的人的话题。讲述了一家五金店的倒闭和人们对它的怀念的一些情况。

【1】考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"Running a small, local, family-owned hardware business was no longer profit-making. The towns affection for Parks Hardware was just not enough to allow it to compete against the giant warehouse stores "可知,经营这样的五金店已经不能够挣钱了,镇上的人们对这家五金店的喜爱并不能使它赢得与大型仓储式商店的竞争,故选B。

【2】考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"the lettering on the front window changed from 20% OFF EVERYTHINGto 30%,40%"可知,五金店在关门息业之前采取了加大力度打折促销的方式, 即清仓大处理。故选A。

【3】考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"The man examined it, and said,Neither can I. "以及"Lin would spring into action and together wed sit down to find the solution"可知,作者提及自己购买无线门铃的经历 是为了说明这家大型商店和帕克的五金店在服务质量方面存在的差别,借以突出帕克的五金店良好的服 务,故选C。

【4】考查推理判断。从文章开始到文章结束,作者在字里行间都描述了自己和其他人对镇上一家五 金店关门的惋惜之情,故选D。

How to Keep a Healthy and Strong Relationship

Are you new to experiencing relationships? Well, let me give you advice on having a healthy and possibly long-term relationship.

1 Do not hide things from them and do not lie. Don’t be afraid to say things that aren’t very flattering about yourself. Getting them to trust you is the most important element in any relationship. If there’s no trust, there’s nothing there. So please be honest and they’ll learn to open up to you.

Make sure you give them respect. Now respect isn’t just simply treating her or him nicely. There’s a lot more about it. You have to learn to adjust to their liking. 2 Don’t just think about yourself; think about what your partner needs as well.

3 Always be willing to help them and give them honesty and positivity at the same time. Make them feel you are someone they can really count on and build a future with. This is an important step in a relationship. Your partner has to be able to count on you when needed.

Make sure you have a good sense of humor with them. Laughter is the key to happiness. Laugh a lot with them and joke with them. Laughter may seem silly, but it’s the secret to a lot in life. It will keep the sparks alive. 4

Make sure the communication is good. This goes along with trust, but always communicate how you feel, even if it’s something that upsets you. Instead of screaming, talk to them. 5 It’s important to communicate with them. Don’t keep it bottled up.

A. Show them your personality.

B. Be an honest person with them.
