Thanks for the Flowers
“At the end of the day, a loving family should find everything forgivable. -----Mark V. Olsen
“You don't bring me flowers any more... You don’t sing me love songs...”, the singing of Neil Diamond went gently into my room from the radio. The song matched my mood on that cold January morning. How true, I thought the last time David brought me flowers was five years ago I dressed up against the cold and headed out for the challenging task of starting the old Ford. The beast normally refused to start. To start the vehicle, I tried all tricks. At that point, David. (more)
A Different Story

【3】C
【解析】
本文是特色故事节选。文章节选了三个关于家庭亲情的故事。
【1】词义猜测题。根据前句“How true, I thought the last time David brought me flowers was five years ago I dressed up against the cold and headed out for the challenging task of starting the old Ford.”中的提示“starting the old Ford.( 开这辆老福特)”和后句“To start the vehicle, I tried all tricks.( 为了发动这辆车，我用尽了所有的办法。)”可猜测，the beast指代前句中的“the old Ford(老福特车)”。故选B。
【2】推理判断题。第三则节选故事主要讲述作者丈夫Sterile从来不挑食，作者做鸡肝给他吃，他总是吃，还说他从来没有吃过比这更好吃的东西。直到最近，作者才知道他对鸡肉过敏。作者丈夫Sterile是因为爱作者，才会说这个善意的谎言。从而可以推断出，作者的丈夫Sterile知道幸福的真谛。故选C。
【3】推理判断题。根据第一则节选故事中的“a loving family should find everything forgivable.( 一个充满爱的家庭应该觉得一切都是可以原谅的。)”；第二则节选故事中的“My husband, John and I met when we were thirty-four years old. We had occasional fights that make me laugh now, and... (我和丈夫约翰在三十四岁时相遇。我们偶尔会吵架，现在让我开怀大笑，还有……)”；第三则节选故事中的“Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. (被一个人深爱给你力量，而深深爱一个人给你勇气。)”及所讲述的故事可知，三个节选故事都是关于夫妻之间的，从而可以推断出，所有的三则故事都与家庭亲情有关。故选C。
阅读理解通常都会出现词义猜测题，要求考生从上下文理解中概括出生词或短语的词义。考生作此类题型时，首先要找到所猜测词所在文章的位置，然后在理解文章大意的基础之上，对此词前后句反复研读，最后根据前后句猜测出词义。例如小题1要求猜测出the beast的含义，就是根据前句“How true, I thought the last time David brought me flowers was five years ago I dressed up against the cold and headed out for the challenging task of starting the old Ford.”中的提示“starting the old Ford.( 开这辆老福特)”和后句“To start the vehicle, I tried all tricks.( 为了发动这辆车，我用尽了所有的办法。)”可猜测，the beast指代前句中的“the old Ford(老福特车)”。

【题目】 Listening to a radio broadcast in a foreign language is difficult for many of us. We may have studied the language for several years, and are able to read it, perhaps even write in it. But listening and understanding the spoken language require special skills. Some people have a natural ability that helps them to learn a language quickly, while others must study for a long time. Everyone, however, can improve his or her listening skills with practice.
We are good listeners in our own language because we have had years of practice. We understand the grammar and the language. We know what to expect a person to say to us in almost any situation. We have been in similar situations many times, and we have heard it all before. We can understand it, even if we do not listen carefully.
But this is not true with a foreign language. We must listen with our full attention. And we must try not to let the cultural style of our language affect our understanding of the foreign language. Listening to a foreign language broadcast is easier if we know something about it. There are clues that can help us. One clue is the time of a day. Morning programs usually contain many short items of news, information or entertainment. The items are short because most of us are getting ready to go to work in the morning. Often we do not have time to listen to long programs. Evening programs are different. There is time for more details about the subjects discussed.
We can get a clue about the program from the music at the beginning, but we must be familiar with the music of the foreign culture. The kind of music—serious and slow, or fast and light—can tell us what kind of program to expect. The name of the program can give us good information about what it will contain.
Another good clue is the broadcaster. The more we listen to the same person, the easier it will be to understand him. His speaking style will become familiar to us. Further, the broadcaster provides clues to the organization of the broadcast at the beginning of the program. The broadcaster usually gives us the highlights of the program to prepare us for the details that will follow.
【1】We are good listeners in our own language because______.
A.we have a natural ability to learn languageB.we have practiced it for years
C.we listen to our own language more carefullyD.our own language is much easier
【2】If you don’t have enough time, you can listen to______.
A.morning programsB.familiar programs
C.evening programsD.programs with soft music
【3】You can know the information of the program according to_____.
A.its musicB.the broadcaster
C.its nameD.the time of the program

【题目】 Many schools now serve breakfast as well as lunch. A lot of kids who take part can end up eating two breakfasts one at home and one at school. People are concerned that these kids may become overweight. In fact, Marlene Schwartz, a psychologist who studies the phenomenon (现象) of overweight, notes that’s not what her data has shown in her new study.
Her group studied some 600 middle school students. Over three years, students in fifth, sixth and seventh grades were asked about their breakfast. Throughout the study bout 34 to 44 percent of all students said they regularly ate breakfast at home. Up to 17 percent or almost one in every six kids regularly ate breakfast at school. Overall, about one in every 10 kids reported having breakfast both at home and at school. And eating habits changed somewhat as the kids got older.
Surprisingly, at every age, kids who ate breakfast were less likely to be overweight. This was true even for those who ate breakfast at home and at school. Indeed, the study found no evidence of greater weight gain among students who ate double breakfasts. Rather, it found that students who skipped breakfast were those most likely to be overweight.
Skipping breakfast may set people to be over-hungry later in the day. Then someone may eat more food than their body needs. It might take the brain longer to realize “you have enough food and can stop eating now”. If true, skipping breakfast may actually lead a person to consume too many calories (卡路里) over the rest of the day.
“Earlier studies have shown this to be the case. The total calories taken in 24 hours are less when you eat a good breakfast,” says Diana Cutts, who works at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. “Eating healthily in the morning is really what you need to have energy. Skipping breakfast is not good for your body and brain.”
【1】Which is true according to Marlene Schwartz’s study?
A.One in every ten kids had breakfast at school.
B.Eating habits didn’t change as kids got older.
C.Kids having breakfast were more likely to be overweight.
D.Having double breakfasts doesn’t mean gaining greater weight.
【2】What may cause overweight in children who skip breakfast?
A.The poor function of the body.
B.Eating too much later in the day.
C.Eating too much unhealthy food.
D.Lack of calory-burning exercise.
【3】What do Diana Cutts’ words tell us?
A.The importance of energy.
B.The harm of calory intake.
C.The harm of light breakfast.
D.The importance of breakfast.
【4】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Causes of childhood overweight.
B.Ways to keep a healthy weight.
C.Skipping breakfast may lead to overweight.
D.Eating double breakfasts is healthier.
