分析 本文叙述了随着物价和房价的上涨,在美国"自己动手"(DIY)的趋势也在继续增长."文中罗斯夫妇交了280美元参加了一个为期两周的夜校学习.现在他们不光自己制作了全部的家具,还亲自动手进行家中所有的维修工作.如果你想成为一个"自己动手的人",你可以参加一些DIY课程.对于那些没有时间听课的人来说,还有一些书会告诉你如何自己动手.

解答 33.C.细节理解题.根据John got married six months ago,and like many young people these days,they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high.因为生活费用高他们很难支付他们所需的东西,故选C.
34.D.细节理解题.根据Last month,he received a car repair bill for $420."I was deeply upset about it.可知,当他不得不自己养育孩子时,吉姆•哈特菲尔德决定成为一名自己动手者.故选D.
35.B.主旨大意题.因为整篇短文主要叙述的是要自己动手做一些力所能及的事情以减少自己的生活开支,故选B.

点评 本文是一篇日常生活类阅读,题目涉及多道细节理解题,主旨大意题.做题时学生应仔细阅读原文,把握文章主要内容,联系文章上下文内容并结合所给选项含义,从中选出正确答案,一定要做到有理有据,切忌胡乱猜测.

1.When first entered,Vanak Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant,but once the pleasant smells of kabob (烤肉串)hit the senses,you are incapable of calling it anything less.
    Owned by a local couple,this Persian restaurant has an inviting,homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack.
    The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration,but the environment is truly charming.
    Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner,the restaurant still attracts all customers,especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking.
    A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics,watching news events on TV,drinking a black tea known as Persian chai,and reading local Persian newspapers all the while trying to finish off their plates piled with food.
    The variety of food at the restaurant is limited,but the amount of each dish is fairly large.Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10,so not only is it affordable but practical as well.
    The food,especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy,made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill (烤肉架).
    The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs,which are different style of grilled meat.
    One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob,which is made of grilled chicken pieces served with either rice or bread.Another great kabob is the Cbelo Kabob,kabob consisting of grilled beef.
    Although the restaurant is small,the atmosphere is nice and the food is delicious.It is a place that should not be overlooked.
