“ Dining out”, or “ eating out ”,is a phrase people use in Britain when they eat in a restaurant or a pub. Eating out is more popular in Britain today than ever before.

However, eating out can be expensive. Restaurants are normally more expensive than pubs, though many pubs serve very good ，simple food. As British people don’t dine out every night of the week ,eating in a restaurant is often seen as a special occasion. When going for the first date， or if celebrating an anniversary or a birthday, many people like to go to a restaurant. People often eat in a restaurant before going to the cinema or the theatre.

As in all cultures, there are many rules of etiquette (禮節(jié))surrounding food and eating, and nowhere is this more pronounced than when eating in a smart restaurant. People are almost always expected to eat with a knife and fork and these should be held in the correct hand and used in the correct way. It is also impolite to have your elbows on the dining table when you are eating.

There’re many such “unspoken” rules — they are normally only important when eating in a very elegant and expensive restaurant, and vary slightly from restaurant to restaurant and place to place. A recent nationwide survey showed that there was a divide in manners between the north and south of Britain ---the “worst” manners were in Scotland and the northeast, and the “best” in Wales and the southeast! However, this survey was almost certainly conducted by someone in the southeast, so it may not be entirely fair.

Naturally, restaurants vary greatly in quality and price. However, almost all British cities have a vast range of food and cooking styles to choose from as well as traditional British food, from the very cheap to the very expensive — French, Italian, Indian, Greek, Thai, Japanese and many more. In fact, when asked what their favorite food is, many British people say an Indian curry (咖喱菜)rather than any other dish!

As well as dining in a restaurant ，when people are too tired to cook after work they often get a “takeaway”. This means they order from a takeaway or takeout restaurant by phone, then go to collect it and take it home to eat. Many takeout restaurants also deliver to your house. While you can normally find a takeout restaurant for almost any cuisine, the most popular are Italian, Indian and Chinese — and all you have to do is to open the door, pay and eat!

1. What can be concluded from the first two paragraphs?

A.      The British spend more eating out than cooking at home.

B.      The British pay great attention to eating in a restaurant.

C.      The British often dine out when celebrating festivals.

D.      People tend to eat in a restaurant after watching a movie.

2. The underlined word “pronounced" in Paragraph 3 probably means “_____

A.      polite        B. expensive     C. strange D. obvious

3.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A.      There exist great differences of rules in different restaurants.

B.      People from Wales and southeast Britain are the most polite.

C.      Your order in a takeout restaurant can be sent to your home.

D.      Traditional British food is seldom served in British restaurants.

4. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Restaurant culture in Britain.        

B. Table manners in Britain.

C. Different restaurants in Britain.

D. Traditional and foreign foods in Britain.

Thanks to the Web, We’re Alone Together and Loving it

There's a professor, Barry Wellman, at the University of Toronto in Canada who has come up with a term to describe the way a lot of us North Americans interact these days. And now a big research study confirms it.

Barry Wellman's term is "networked individualism." It's not the easiest concept to grasp. In fact, the words seem to contradict each other. How can we be individualistic and networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.

Here's what he means. Until the Internet and e-mail came along, our social networks involved flesh-and-blood relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues at work. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.

But the latest study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project confirms that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced a great deal of social interchange. A lot of folks Pew talked with say that's a good thing, because of concerns that the Internet was turning us into hermits who shut out other people in favor of a make-believe world on flickering computer screens.

To the contrary, the Pew study discovered the Internet has put us in touch with more real people than we'd have ever imagined. Helpful people, too. We're turning to an ever-growing list of cyber friends for advice on careers, medical crises, child-rearing, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told the Pew that the Internet plays an important or crucial role in helping them deal with major life decisions.

So we networked individuals are pretty tricky: We're keeping more to ourselves, while at the same time reaching out to more people, all with just the click of a computer mouse!

1.The Pew study was conducted in _____.

A．The United States

B．Canada

C．The U.S. and Canada

D．Europe

2.Which of the following has happened since the invention of the Internet and email?

A．People are talking on the phone more than ever.

B．Interaction through the computer has replaced a lot of person to person interaction.

C．Americans are turning into hermits.

D．Sixty million Americans have bought computers.

3.Which of the following was NOT one of the discoveries of the Pew study?

A．The Internet has put us in touch with more people than expected.

B．People use the Internet to get advice on careers, medical problems, and other questions.

C．For many Americans, the Internet plays an important role in helping them make important decisions.

D．“Internet addiction” is a growing problem among people who use computers.

4.What does the bolded words “reach out” in the last paragraph mean?

A．Connect with.

B．Play a trick.

C．Make a decision.

D．Stay alone.

科目：高中英語 來源：20102011學(xué)年度廣東惠陽高級中學(xué)高二第一學(xué)期期末英語卷 題型：閱讀理解

Imagine one day, the water taps in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn’t enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family’s shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?

Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025. Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply. Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, told the Times: “In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”

Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water truck. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water – at very high prices.

“A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said.

The average person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty line of 1,000 cubic meters.

The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.

1.

The purpose of the text is to _______.

A. tell us what life is like in Yemen

B. draw our attention to water shortage

D. show us ways of solving problems

2.

 The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____.

A. buying water from shops

3.

 Hannan described _____.

A. what her life is like

B. how beautiful Lahej is

C. how people use water fully

D. how heavy the traffic in Lahej is

4.

The Yemen Government _____.

A. has found a practical solution

B. only cares about rich people

C. may try to make use of seawater

D. can do nothing about the water supply

5.

 We can infer from the text that _____.
