A man from England is also trying to sell something unusual: his mother-in- law (岳母) .

Steve Owen is married. His mother-in-law, Caroline, lived in the United States for 27 years. Six months ago, she moved to England. Now his mother-in-law lives on the same street as Steve and his wife.

"My mother-in-law comes to my house every day," says Owen. "And she always complains (抱怨)! She says my house is dirty and that I don't make enough money. ”So now Owen is trying to sell Caroline on eBay. He put her photo under "Weird Stuff (稀奇東西)" on the site and he wants only 1 for her.

Everyone thinks Owen is kidding. "Oh, I'm not joking, "Owen says" I want my mother-in-law to leave". In fact, Owen will only sell Caroline to someone from the US. "I want her out of England. " he says.

【解析】

文章大意:本文是記敘文,EBay是一家可以買賣物品的網(wǎng)站,然而有些人卻會出售奇怪的物品,比如Steve Owen出售的居然是自己的丈母娘,他為什么這么做呢?

1細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文章第二段第二行Now his mother-in-law lives on the same street as Steve and his wife可知,Steve Owen和岳母住在同一條街上,故答案選C。

2細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文章第三段第一、二行"My mother-in-law comes to my house every day," says Owen. "And she always complains (抱怨)! She says my house is dirty and that I don't make enough money可知,Steve不喜歡Caroline,故答案選B。

3細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文章第三段第一、二行"My mother-in-law comes to my house every day," says Owen. "And she always complains (抱怨)! She says my house is dirty and that I don't make enough money“我岳母每天都來我家,”歐文說。她總是抱怨!她說我的房子很臟,我掙的錢不夠”可知,Caroline總是說Steve壞話,故答案選A。

4細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文章第四段第二行In fact, Owen will only sell Caroline to someone from the US可知,Steve Owen將會只會把Caroline賣給美國的人。故答案選D。

閱讀理解題中的細(xì)節(jié)理解題,首先找出問句中的關(guān)鍵詞,然后根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞定位到文章具體位置,然后選出正確答案即可。

例如題目2中,關(guān)鍵詞是Steve feel about Caroline,可定位到文章第三段第一、二行"My mother-in-law comes to my house every day," says Owen. "And she always complains (抱怨)! She says my house is dirty and that I don't make enough money可知,Steve不喜歡Caroline,故答案選B。

【題目】將下列單詞或詞組填入空格。每空格限填一詞,每個(gè)單詞或詞組只能填一次

A. part B. realize C. stations D. events E. receive

Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to 1news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.

Newspapers have been an important 2of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?

Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV3 can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.

Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead, they print stories about plane accidents.

In addition, many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and 4in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in Britain, French and American newspaper.
