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.

1.What does the word "shot" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

    A. Choice.       B. Try          C. Style.            D. Goal

2.What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York?

    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

3.What does the author think of the parties in London?

A. A bit unusual          B. Full of tricks.  

C. Less costly.           D. More interesting.

4. What is the author's opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?

    A. Easy-going.     B. Self-centred.    C. Generous.    D. Conservative.

完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,共30分)

阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白出的最佳选项。

?Long time ago, if a child had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his   21 . Now, a child with the same problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog(博客. In many ways, a diary and a blog are very   22 .So, what makes blogging different from writing in a   23 diary?

The biggest difference is that blogging is much more   24 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats her diary like a book full of   25   that she does not want to   26 .

It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog  27 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.

I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her blog. She   28 about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.  29 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but   30 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was   31 that my sister might read it!

The biggest  32 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I were angry with a friend during high school and wrote something   33 about her in my diary, she would never know.  34 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend   35 read her blog and get angry.

There are also   36 to blogging, of course. If I were feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary, “Nobody cares about me,”  37 would know about it. However if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would   38 respond(回应)and tell her how much they like her. Blogs help people   39 in contact with their friends and to hear what the people   40 them are doing.

For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions.People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer.For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer.He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone’s life as nothing.

Cold can affect other parts of the body.The expression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet.The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do.For example, you agree to be president of an organization.But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility.You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.

The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face.You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you.Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.

A cold fish is not a fish.It is a person.But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth.A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted.Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy.Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers.

Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody else got.A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise---he was left out in the cold.And it is not a pleasant place to be.

1.When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by “_________”.

A.I give him the cold shoulder

B.I think he is a cold-blooded man

C.I think he is a cold fish

D.I’m likely to get cold feet

2.If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa, you will say _________.

A.she is a cold-blooded killer

B.she gets cold feet

C.she is a cold fish

D.she is out in the cold

3.We can use the expression “__________” to describe a man who abandons or hurts his lover without mercy.

A.cold-blooded

B.cold shoulder

C.cold feet

D.cold-hearted

4.The topic of this passage is about _________.

A.the relationship between cold and our body

B.some expressions about friendship

C.some expressions connected with cold

D.how cold weather comes into being

I was eight years old then. Looking __36__ I remember the time in a baseball field passing the team that we had just __37__ . We shook their hands and said, "Good game!"

It is __38__ to do that when you win! When you lose, you have a tendency(倾向) to slap (拍) the hand — instead of shaking it — and __39__ the ground instead of the eyes. This is not only true for an eight-year-old; it is true for adults, too.

A few years ago, in a softball league, we lost 15 games! And we thought it was __40__ . But during the " Good game" handshake after each __41__, I looked each player in the eyes and shook their hands. I couldn't look my opponents (对手) in the eyes and congratulate them on a good __42__ when I was eight. Somehow I took the loss as a __43__ on my self-worth and felt my self-confidence had been slapped; __44_- I did what most eight-year-olds do and I slapped the opponents' hands, not giving them the satisfaction of a shake. I was wrong to do this. I'm happy today as a(n) __45__ that I have learned this __46__ : There is something to be said for losing well.

__47__ it is a baseball game or an important examination, you can __48__ a lot about a person by now they deal with defeat. The person who deals with defeat as an __49__ blow is not allowing the event to define (定义) him, while someone who cannot __50__ defeat is allowing the event to __51__ his self-worth. In my opinion, when you __52__ in something— though it may be __53__ — look at your opponents in the eyes, and shake their hands in a __54__ way as you say, "Good game!" __55__ to allow the event to define your life. You might find yourself winning the next game.
