一、阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2分,满分16分)
A
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,which you can’t afford and we’ll be sharing the check 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 likely that 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.What’s more,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 underlined word “shot” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A.Choice. B.Try.
C.Style. D.Goal.
2.What does the author 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-centered.
C.Generous. D.Open-minded.
【文章大意】作者在纽约的时候最讨厌参加晚宴,但他仍然愿意尝试一下伦敦的晚宴,并对伦敦和纽约两个地方的晚宴进行了对比。
1.B 词义推测题。从第一句的hated,到but意义上的转折,说明尽管不喜欢,还是要“尝试一下”,所以try的意思更接近shot。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Worse...They’ll throw down cash,half of what they owe,and then people like me,who don’t drink,end up paying even more.”可知,在纽约吃饭要均摊餐费,但有些人总是提前离席,留下不足的份子钱,而其余人则不得不摊更多。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第二段内容和其中的句子“What’s more,the guests are an interesting mix.”可以推断出伦敦的晚宴要比纽约的有趣。
4.B 推理判断题。从最后一段的内容可以推断,作者对一些纽约人的看法是“以自我为中心的”。

The boy made it!
One Sunday,Nicholas,a teenager,went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine.In the early afternoon,when he was planning to go home,a fierce snowstorm swept into the area.Unable to see far,he accidentally turned off the path.Before he knew it,Nicholas was lost,all alone!He didn’t have food,water,a phone,or other supplies.He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was.He tried not to panic.He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV.It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.
He decided to stop skiing.There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put.The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow.If he didn’t,his body temperature would get very low,which could quickly kill him.
Using his skis,Nicholas built a snow cave.He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle.Then he piled branches on top of himself,like a blanket,to stay as warm as he could.
By that evening,Nicholas was really hungry.He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water.Not knowing how much longer he could last,Nicholas did the only thing he could—he huddled(蜷缩)in his cave and slept.
The next day,Nicholas went out to look for help,but he couldn’t find anyone.He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave,because without shelter,he could die that night.On Tuesday,Nicholas went out again to find help.He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him.After two days stuck in the snow,Nicholas was saved.
Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV.He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs.Wild.That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life.In each episode(一期节目)of Man vs.Wild,Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.
When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds,he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.

One day I went to the Phoenix Park.I was taking photos of the Bambi’s deer 1.

I watched him get back into his car and drive off 10. a little smile on his face as he took a final look back at me on the bench.I assume that he was remembering the good times they shared.
1.when。be doing...when...为固定句型,意为“正在做某事,这时……”。
2.clearly。有一位男人在不停地啜泣,很显然他非常痛苦。此处用副词clearly修饰形容词pained。
3.to avoid。根据文意可知,人们绕过他走是为了避开他。try to do sth.“尽力做某事”。
4.had passed。他的妻子去世发生在他们打算庆祝35周年结婚纪念日之前,即发生在过去的过去,所以用过去完成时。
5.the/their。序数词之前应用定冠词或形容词性物主代词修饰。
