16.In China,chain restaurants-especially the big multinational ones-are cool.Going to Starbucks,for example,is a status symbol.It not only says,"I'm rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,"but also,"I'm cosmopolitan (見多識廣的) enough to be part of globalization."
Where I come from in the UK,however,chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet(美食的).Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere else is open,or when you are 5years old and your parents can't stand hearing,"I'm huuuuuungry!"any longer.In my own case (with regards to McDonald's),a chain is where you are taken on your first"date".Even at the age of 13,I knew to give the guy the"let's just be friends"phone call the next day.
In the UK,independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene.Nowadays,a Londoner who says"let's meet for a coffee at Monmouth"(an independent cafe) is much cooler than one who says"let's go to Starbucks".Even if Monmouth's coffee is a little more expensive,there's a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren't going straight to the big corporations.
Of course,there are chain stores all over the UK; you can't go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee.But numbers do not add up to good taste.
I do,however,have a confession (坦白).After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much.I,too,have retreated  to McDonald's.

24.Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants becauseC.
A.the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture
B.the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants
C.they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status
D.these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date
25.Which of the following statements is TRUE?C
A.The author has grown tired of Chinese food.
B.Branches of Monmouth's cafe can be found all over the UK.
C.Most independent stores are closed on New Year's Day in the UK.
D.It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant.
26.We can infer from the article thatD.
A.the author doesn't like food from Pizza Hut
B.the author doesn't like to follow fashion trends
C.many Britons think that numbers mean poor quality
D.many Britons don't like big corporations
27.What does the underlined word (in the last paragraph) mean?D
A.a(chǎn)dapted         B.contributed       
C.subscribed      D.switched.

分析 很多中國人喜歡去星巴克,主要是想炫耀自己的財富和社會地位,在英國人們并不喜歡星巴克這樣的連鎖餐廳,他們更愿意去另外一些有獨(dú)特風(fēng)格的餐廳.

解答 24-27CCDD
24.C  根據(jù)第一段最后一句It not only says,"I'm rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,"but also,"I'm cosmopolitan (見多識廣的) enough to be part of globalization."可知很多中國人到星巴克喝咖啡是炫耀富、見多識廣以及社會層次高.故C項正確.
考點定位:細(xì)節(jié)理解 
25. C 根據(jù)第二段第二句Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere else is open,or when you are 5 years old and your parents can't stand hearing,"I'm huuuuuungry!"any longer.在英國當(dāng)其他的餐廳關(guān)門的時候,人們才會去連鎖餐廳用餐.也就是說在新年這樣的日子里,大部分的independent stores都是不營業(yè)的額,所以這時人們才會去星巴克之類的連鎖店用餐.故C正確.
考點定位:細(xì)節(jié)理解
26.D 根據(jù)第三段最后一句Even if Monmouth's coffee is a little more expensive,there's a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren't going straight to the big corporations.顧客對于自己的錢沒有直接進(jìn)入星巴克這樣的大公司非常高興.也就是說很多英國人并不喜歡這些大公司.故D正確.
考點定位:推理判斷
27. D 句子的"however"是關(guān)鍵詞.根據(jù)文章最后一段I do,however,have a confession (坦白).After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much.I,too,have retreated to McDonald's.作者原來并不喜歡星巴克之類的連鎖店,但是他要坦白的是,來到中國以后,吃了太多的宮保雞丁,他還是轉(zhuǎn)變?nèi)コ粤他湲?dāng)勞.他去吃麥當(dāng)勞主要因為飲食不習(xí)慣的問題.所以該詞"retreated"意為"改變、改變".故D項正確.

點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系,對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論,對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點.

As is known,that it is interesting to teach child to swim while they are still babies.Most large towns in Florida and California had already run particularly lessons for babies.The idea has quickly spread to Europe which,in several countries,special courses are now offered children who are from 7 to 24 months old.The first step is to have the child get rid of the fear with water.Next,he is teaching to float in water.Unless he can do that naturally and can swim without fear,the child can master the technique and push him forward through water.

11.You may know the English letters A,B and C.But do you know there are people called ABC?You may like eating bananas.But did you know there is such a thing as a"banana person"?How strange!Are these people from"another earth"?No.They are just Chinese people like you and me.
ABC means American-born Chinese.An ABC is a Chinese,but was born in the United States.Sometimes,people call an ABC a"banana person".A banana is yellow outside and white inside.So,when a person is a banana,he or she is white inside-thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside-looking like a Chinese.
Do you know why?Usually,ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language.Some of them don't speak Chinese.Also,they are not interested in Chinese politics.
But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese,can we still call them Chinese people?Yes,of course.They are Chinese.They are overseas (海外的) Chinese.These people may be citizens(公民) of another country like the US,Canada or Singapore.But they have Chinese blood.Their parents,grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China.They all have black eyes and black hair.But they are not Chinese citizens.They are not people of the People's Republic of China.For example,we all know the famous scientist C.N.Yang (楊振寧).He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957.Chinese people love him.But he is an American citizen.

5.Do American children still learn handwriting in school?In the age of the keyboard,some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out.90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting.But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it.One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting.Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10-15 minutes a day,and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day-which really for handwriting is pretty much.
  Many adults remember learning that way-by copying letters over and over again.Today's thinking is that short periods of practice are better.Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself.Instead,they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas.After all,that is why we write.
  Handwriting involves two skills.One is legibility(清楚易認(rèn)),which means forming the letters so they can be read.The other is fluency-writing without having to think about it.Fluency continues to develop up until high school.
  But not everyone masters these skills.Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting.Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.
  But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school,especially in the early years.American children traditionally first learn to print(用印刷體寫),and then to write in cursive(草體字),which connects the letters.But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board,which administers the SAT college admission test.More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.
58.We can learnAfrom Paragraph 1.
A.teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching job
B.most teachers prefer to teach handwriting
C.teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting
D.a(chǎn) keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely
59.Which of the following is WRONG for traditional handwriting in the USA?B
A.The students are taught by practicing a long period.
B.To write in cursive is taught first.
C.Handwriting includes two skills.
D.The letters are repeated many times.
60.The best title for the passage isD
A.How to improve handwriting in school 
B.Handwriting lessons are on the way out
C.Handwriting involves two skills           
D.Right or wrong:the death of handwriting
61.The author's attitude towards whether still to learn handwriting in school isD.

B.optimistic           
C.critical(批評的)   
D.objective(客觀的)
