14.Everyone knows how the story of Cinderella ends,but did you ever really think about how she spent her days before she met the prince?Her daily routine was not fascinating.She did everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals.If someone had asked Cinderella,"Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?"she probably would have answered,"Why,none,of course.Housework is my duty!"In the real world,however,most people have definite dislikes for certain sorts of household work.Two of these tasks are ironing clothes and washing dishes.
Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly.Each piece of clothing must be handled individually,so ironing a basket of laundry can take hours!After ironing a piece of clothing with great caution,which-requires smoothing out the fabric,and following the seams (线缝),you need to place it on a hanger as soon as possible.If you do not follow these directions carefully,it might become wrinkled (有皱纹的) and you have to start over.Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do.It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end.
Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes.Of course,some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because we have dishwashers now!However,no one would argue that dishes,silverware,and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don't come out as clean as they do when washed by hand.For this reason,many of us continues to wash our dishes by hand,but we are not necessarily happy doing it.Cleaning dishes is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them.In addition,unlike ironing clothes,washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day.I don't know how Cinderella felt about this particular task,but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do.

53.Why do most people hate to do clothes-ironing?D
A.Because it has to be done by one person.  B.Because it must be handled skillfully.
C.Because it involves careful planning.     D.Because it is time-consuming.
54.To avoid ironing the clothes over again,one shouldB.
A.know how to iron certain clothes material  B.spare no care through all the procedures
C.find some proper hangers for the ironed    D.pay special attention to the seams
55.Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machine washing becauseA.
A.hand-washed dishes are cleaner
B.washing dishes by hand is cheaper
C.dishwashers are not so easily handled
D.some dishes cannot be machine washed
56.In which way is ironing different from dishwashing?A
A.It is not a daily routine. B.It demands less care.
C.It requires patience.      D.It is not laborious.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了人们最讨厌的两件家务事熨烫衣服和洗盘子,熨烫衣服需要花费极长的时间并且过程中需要全神贯注,而洗盘子现在虽然已经有了洗碗机,但由于清洁度不高,人们还是更喜欢手洗.

解答 53.D.细节理解题.根据文章第二段"Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly"可知大多数人不喜欢烫衣服的原因是它太耗时间;故选D.
54.B.推理判断题.根据文章第二段"It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end"它需要从开始到结束极端注重细节,可推测为了避免再次熨烫衣服我们应该全程都集中注意;故选B.
55.A.细节理解题.根据文章第三段"no one would argue that dishes,silverware,and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don't come out as clean as they do when washed by hand"可知许多人仍然喜欢用手洗盘子洗盘子是因为手洗比较干净;故选A.
56.A.细节理解题.根据文章第三段"unlike ironing clothes,washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day"可知熨烫衣服不是一种每天都会做的事;故选A.

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.
