A child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months.
“Having a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents, and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement. But it really doesn’t have to be that way,” said Anaclerio. Last summer, Anaclerio and her friend Jill Carlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year –old, founded a home party-planning business called “A Party in a Basket.” Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care of everything.
Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created 10 ready-to-use, home party packages. Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket.
“Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10, ” Anaclerio said, “and they’re very interactive （互動） and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject. For example, at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream creations.”
The standard $ 200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with invitations, gifts, games and prizes, paper goods, a party planner and the like. For more information, call Anaclerio at 708-864-6584 or Carlisle at 708-205-9141.
【小題1】The main purpose of writing this text is ________.

A．to share information about party planning
B．to introduce the joys of a birthday party

D．to sell a service
【小題2】The most important idea behind the kind of party planning described here is that ________.
A．parents are spared the trouble of sending invitations
B．guests play a part in the preparation of a party
C．it brings parents and children closer together
D．it provides a subject of conversation
【小題3】What does the underlined word “hassle”(paragraph 1) probably mean ?
A．a(chǎn) situation causing difficulty or trouble
B．a(chǎn) plan requiring careful thought
C．a(chǎn) party designed by specialists
D．a(chǎn) demand made by guests
【小題4】Which of the following is most likely to be a party planner?

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學(xué)年山西省山大附中高二下學(xué)期期中考試英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL), the highest level of professional American football in the United States, becoming a season that begins in the late summer of the previous calendar year. The Super Bowl uses Roman numerals to identify each game, rather than the year in which it is held, with Super Bowl I being the 1966 season championship game, when the Green Bay Packers beat the Kansas City Chiefs. Super Bowl XLVI (46) was played at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, on February 5, 2012, to determine the champion of the 2011 season; the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots.
The game was created as part of a merger agreement between the NFL and its rival league, the American Football League (AFL). It was agreed that the two leagues’ champion teams would play in an AFL--NFL World Championship Game until the merger was to officially begin in 1970. After the merger, each league was appointed as a “conference”, and the game was then played between the conference champions. Currently, the National Football Conference (NFC) leads the series with 25 wins to 21 wins for the American Football Conference (AFC).
The day on which the Super Bowl is played, now considered to be an existing American national holiday, is called “Super Bowl Sunday”, though it is not determined by the government. It is the second—largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In addition, the Super Bowl has frequently been the most watched American television broadcast of the year.
Because of its high viewership, commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year. Due to the high cost of investing in advertising on the Super Bowl, companies regularly develop their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. As a result, watching and discussing the broadcast’s commercials has become a significant aspect of the event. In addition, many popular singers and musicians have performed during the event’s pre-game and halftime ceremonies because of the exposure’s attracting more fans.
【小題1】What does the Super Bowl use to show each game?

A．The year when the game is held.
B．English letters.
C．Roman numerals
D．Arabic numerals
【小題2】 What does the underlined word “merger” in the second paragraph refer to?
A．Union.B．Appearance.
C．Division.D．Competition.
【小題3】According to the third paragraph, we can know that_______.
A．the Super Bowl Sunday is an official national holiday
B．the Super Bowl Sunday is the biggest day for U.S. food consumption
C．the Super Bowl has owned the biggest TV audience among all games
D．Thanksgiving Day is the second--largest day for U.S. food consumption
【小題4】We can infer from the last paragraph that________.
A．singers and musicians perform during the event’s ceremonies to get more attention
B．people seldom discuss the broadcast’s commercials
C．commercial companies make much money by broadcasting advertisements
D．commercial companies are not interested in the Super Bowl
