16.M'Kenzie and Derek Tillotson,of Utah,USA,are planning to embark on an epic trip around the world with their three young children,and are looking for a travel nanny(保姆)to help them on their journey.They posted a Facebook video hoping to get a few dozen applications,but ended up with messages from nearly 20,000 people hoping to get the job.
The couple runs a family travel blog called‘Five Take Flight'and recently decided to sell their home in Utah and go on an unforgettable adventure around the world.They plan to leave in July,flying from their home in Utah to New York City,then to Iceland,and the rest of Europe.They'll return to their home city for a two weeks over Christmas,before flying to Hawaii,New Zealand,and finally Asia.It sounds like an incredible experience,but it's also going to be pretty tough to manage with three kids,which is why they've decided to take someone to travel with them and lend a hand when necessary.
"You'll be an honorary member of the family and will be treated with respect and be able to voice your opinion."The travel nanny will be required to handle most of the homeschooling for the couple's two boys,while also looking after their baby sister and also handle some of the cooking and cleaning.
"It's hard to define your exact hours because you will be living with us,but you will have time to yourself every day for sure,and one to two times a week you'll be able to go off on your own."The Tillotsons add that the chosen person will receive a monthly salary of 1200-1500 for their work besides travel expenses and other living costs.However,a number of people have pointed out that the sum is still very low for the requirements.

5.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A
A.So many people want to get the job of a travel nanny.
B.The couple posted a Facebook video to look for a job.

分析 本文寫了家庭旅游中雇傭家庭保姆的情況,并對家庭保姆的工作要求和薪水做了介紹.

解答 5.A 推理判斷題.根據(jù)句子They posted a Facebook video hoping to get a few dozen applications,but ended up with messages from nearly 20,000 people hoping to get the job.他們貼出了一份臉譜網(wǎng)視頻,希望能得到幾十份申請,但最終得到了近20000人希望得到這份工作的消息.由此可以推斷出有很多的人想得到這份工作,所以答案選A.
6.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)句子They plan to leave in July,flying from their home in Utah to New York City,then to Iceland,and the rest of Europe.他們計劃在七月離開,從猶他的家飛到紐約,然后再飛到冰島,再到歐洲的其他地方.可見他們旅游完歐洲就回來,所以答案選C.
7.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)句子The travel nanny will be required to handle most of the homeschooling for the couple's two boys,while also looking after their baby sister and also handle some of the cooking and cleaning.旅行保姆將被要求為夫婦倆的兩個孩子辦理大部分的家庭教育,同時還要照顧他們的小妹妹,還要處理一些做飯和打掃衛(wèi)生.在工作的范圍里唯獨沒有B選項,故答案選B.
8.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)句子However,a number of people have pointed out that the sum is still very low for the requirements.然而,一些人指出,所需款項仍然很低.可見這項工作的薪水不滿意.

點評 本文考查細(xì)節(jié)題為主,細(xì)節(jié)題可以在文章中直接找到與答案有關(guān)的信息?或是其變體.搜查信息在閱讀中非常重要它包括理解作者在敘述某事時使用的具體事實、數(shù)據(jù)、圖表等細(xì)節(jié)信息.在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都屬于這類圍繞主體展開的細(xì)節(jié).做這類題一般采用尋讀法?即先讀題,然后帶著問題快速閱讀短文,找出與問題有關(guān)的詞語或句子,再對相關(guān)部分進(jìn)行分析對比,找出答案.

The day's name began in Philadelphia,where it originally was used to describe huge crowds and heavy traffic that would occur on the day after Thanksgiving.The use of the name started before 1961.Later all alternative explanation was made:"Black Friday"indicates the point at which retailers(零售商) begin to turn a profit or are "in the black".
For many years,it was common for retailers to open at 6:00a.m.,but in the late 2000s many had opened at 5:00a.m.or even 4:00a.m..This was taken to a new degree in 2011,when several retailers opened at midnight for the first time.
Black Friday Shopping is known for attracting aggressive crowds,with annual reports of terrible noise and crowds of people trampling(踩傷) on other shoppers in an attempt to get the best deal on a product before supplies run out.

B.a(chǎn) busy shopping day

30.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2?A
A.gaining money    B.1osing money  C.growing weak  D.promoting goods
31.What's the main reason for aggressive crowds on Black Friday nowadays?D
A.That people are eager to return home.
B.That sellers try to make shopping time longer.
C.That supplies are too limited to meet shoppers'needs.
D.That shoppers rush to buy the cheapest goods.

One day after school I rode my bike to the Agins,which,I learned years later,was known for its high-end fashions (時尚) and styles.I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins,telling her I was looking for a Mother's Day present.

"You know,my son,what really amazes me to this day,"my mother said,"Letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough.But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that I'll never forget."

So who are these Third Culture Kids?They are not a new phenomenon.As one looks(38)B history,there is a realization that certain groups of people have led highly (39)C lives,a key(40)D in describing TCKs.They often(41)C their parents into another country and spend a significant part of his or her development years outside the parents'culture.They are(42)A to new cultures and to other people in the community who (43)D move constantly.Their numbers (44)B into the hundreds of thousands and are increasing.Ease of (45)D and constant relocation of people through multinational companies and global business links contribute to this (46)A.
