Answer 1

分析 短文講了Simon和Rick 的故事來表現(xiàn)英美兩國文化差異．

解答 答案：54．A 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段句子"One day an American called Simon went to London to visit his friend，Rick．"一天，一個叫西蒙的美國人去倫敦拜訪他的朋友瑞克．可知西蒙去倫敦拜訪朋友．故選A．
55．B 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段句子"Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor．"瑞克告訴他，他的公寓在一樓．和第二段句子"The floor above the ground floor is the first floor，while Americans would call it the second floor．"一樓的地面是第一層，而美國人則稱其為二樓．"可知在英式英語里ground floor是指緊貼地面的樓層．在美國它上面的一層叫做first floor，即美式英語中的the second floor"二樓"．所以Rick 應該住在二樓．結合選項，故選B．
56．C 細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段句子For example，on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books． 例如，在火車上，英國人經�；〞r間閱讀報紙或書籍．可知英國人通常在火車上看報紙或者看書來消磨時間．故選C．
57．D 詞義猜測題．根據(jù)上下文The British and Americans may use different terms for many things．The British usually use"football"，"eraser"and"mail"while Americans prefer to use"soccer"，"rubber"and"post"．可知，英國人用 football，eraser 和 mail 等詞來表達足球、橡皮和郵件，而美國人喜歡用 soccer，rubber 和 post 等詞語來表達．說明英國人和美國人會用不同的"用語"來表達一些事物，而非"成果"或"學期"．所以terms意為用語．故選D．
58．A 主旨歸納題．根據(jù)整篇文章內容第一段、第二段通過講述 Simon 和 Rick 的故事來表現(xiàn)英美兩國對樓層表達的不同．第三段揭示主題，英美兩國雖然都說英語，但有許多不同之處．第四段主要講了英國人和美國人表達情感的方式不同．第五段主要講了英國人和美國人描述事物用詞上的不同．可知文章主要說的是美國和英國的文化差異．故選A．

點評 在通讀全文的基礎上，根據(jù)全文大意，展開邏輯思維，瞻前顧后，認真觀察選項，仔細推敲，確定最佳答案．
