9.Too Good to Go is a smartphone app which allows restaurants to sell food that would otherwise be thrown away at discount prices from as little as£2and a maximum of£3.80,ever if the meals are sold from the very finest restaurants in the country.Originally created in Denmark and launched in Brighton and Leeds in June,the service has recently been introduced in the United Kingdom by a couple of young entrepreneurs(企業(yè)家).
Millions of tons of food are thrown in the trash every year,with restaurants accounting for a large part,so eco-entrepreneurs Chris Wilson and Jamie Crummie came up with the good idea to stop food waste.Using Too Good to Go not only helps restaurants save expense,but gives people in need the chance to order fancy dishes at low prices.
Too Good to Go is very convenient for users.Restaurants make food available on the Too Good To Go app and website.People can look through the available dishes on the smartphones,pay for them using credit card and pick them up at a set time,an hour before closing time.
Although Too Good to Go does take a fee from restaurants for each sale,its creators say the end goal is to use it for restaurants to solve their waste management problem,rather than making a profit.Wilson claims,"The idea is that restaurants stop producing the extra food so they don't need to throw it away in the trash,and we really want to put ourselves out of business by stopping food waste."
Birmingham has become the latest city where restaurants can reduce food waste to the lowest limit by working with the Too Good To Go social enterprise app.

B.Allow restaurants to sell foods at low prices.

A.By selling copies of the app.
B.By taking a fee from buyers.
C.By getting donations from entrepreneurs.

分析 本文主要講述Too Good to Go 這個(gè)軟件幫助歐洲的一些國(guó)家的飯店節(jié)省飯菜.

解答 BCDA
24 B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第 一段Originally created in Denmark and launched in Brighton and Leeds in June,the service has recently been introduced in the United Kingdom by a couple of young entrepreneurs(企業(yè)家).可知這種服務(wù)最初創(chuàng)建于丹麥,在布賴頓和利茲推出,故選B.
25 C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二 段Millions of tons of food are thrown in the trash every year,with restaurants accounting for a large part,可知使用這個(gè)軟件不僅可以幫助解決每年數(shù)百萬(wàn)噸的食物,大多數(shù)都是飯店浪費(fèi)的,故選C.
26 D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四 段Although Too Good to Go does take a fee from restaurants for each sale,可知這個(gè)軟件確實(shí)對(duì)每筆單子向飯店收取一定的費(fèi)用,故選D.
27 A 推斷題.根據(jù)第二 段 可知Using Too Good to Go not only helps restaurants save expense,but gives people in need the chance to order fancy dishes at low prices.可知使用這個(gè)軟件不僅可以幫助節(jié)省飯店費(fèi)用,而且給予那些需要的人們機(jī)會(huì)以低的價(jià)格訂購(gòu)好的飯菜,故選A,文中沒有提到窮人,賺更多的錢,必須去飯店取,BCD都是錯(cuò)誤的.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 一、速讀全文,了解大意知主題.
  閱讀能力一般指閱讀速度和理解能力兩個(gè)方面.閱讀速度是閱讀最基本的能力.考生必須在十分有限的時(shí)間內(nèi)運(yùn)用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀,搜尋關(guān)鍵詞、主題句,捕捉時(shí)空、順序、情節(jié)、人物、觀點(diǎn),并且理清文章脈絡(luò),把握語(yǔ)篇實(shí)質(zhì).
二、看題干,帶著問(wèn)題讀文章.
  首先要掌握問(wèn)題的類型,客觀信息題可以從文章中直接找到答案;而主觀判斷題考查的是對(duì)文章的感情基調(diào)等,這類題必須經(jīng)過(guò)對(duì)作者的態(tài)度、意圖以及對(duì)整篇文章進(jìn)行深一層的推理等.其次,了解試題題干以及各個(gè)選項(xiàng)所包含的信息,然后有針對(duì)性地對(duì)文章進(jìn)行掃讀,對(duì)有關(guān)信息進(jìn)行快速定位.此法加強(qiáng)了閱讀的針對(duì)性,提高了做題的準(zhǔn)確率.
  三、邏輯推理,做好深層理解題.
  在實(shí)際閱讀中,有時(shí)作者并未把意圖說(shuō)出來(lái),閱讀者要根據(jù)字面意思,通過(guò)語(yǔ)篇邏輯關(guān)系,研究細(xì)節(jié)的暗示,推敲作者的態(tài)度,理解文章的寓義.要求讀者對(duì)文字的表面信息進(jìn)行分析、挖掘和邏輯推理,不能就事論事,以偏概全.推理題在提問(wèn)中常用的詞有:infer,imply,suggest,indicate等.
  四、猜詞悟義,掃除閱讀攔路虎.
  猜詞是應(yīng)用英語(yǔ)的重要能力.它不但需要準(zhǔn)確無(wú)誤地理解上下文,而且要有較大的泛讀量,掌握或認(rèn)識(shí)較多的課外詞匯.我們要學(xué)會(huì)"順藤摸瓜",通過(guò)構(gòu)詞,語(yǔ)法,定義,同位,對(duì)比,因果,常識(shí),上下文等線索確定詞義.

It started as a special day for Wesley Autrey, a 50-year-old construction worker in New York City. It was about 12:45 P.M., and he was waiting on a subway platform (月臺(tái)) to take his daughters home before he went to work. He suddenly noticed a man nearby have convulsions (抽搐) and fall down suddenly. Mr. Autrey and two women went to help the stranger. The man, Cameron Hollopeter, managed to get to his feet, but then stumbled (絆倒) at the edge of the platform and fell onto the subway tracks. Mr. Autrey looked up and saw the lights of the subway train coming near through the tunnel.

Mr. Autrey jumped onto the track immediately. He realized that he didn’t have time to get Mr. Hollopeter and himself back up on the platform before the train arrived, so he lay on top of the man and pressed down as hard as he could. Although the driver tried to stop the train before it reached them, he couldn’t. Five cars passed over them before the train finally stopped. The cars had passed only inches from his head.

New York loves a hero. Mr. Autrey became an overnight hero and was named the “Subway Superman”. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg gave him the Bronze Medallion, the city’s highest honor.

He was also rewarded with money and gifts, such as $10,000 from Donald Trump, a $5,000 gift card from the Gap clothing store, a new Jeep, and Beyonce concert tickets.

How did Autrey react (反應(yīng)) to all this? He said, “I don’t feel like I did anything great; I just saw someone who needed help. I did what I felt was right”.

A. was leaving for work

“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣櫥)?”Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully, “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a(chǎn) skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”

“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t you great – great grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.

After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank into a faint (暈倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.

“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.

1.According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means .

A. a family honor B. a family secret

C. a family story D. a family treasure

2.Jessica’s mother fell down into a faint because she was .

A. knocked B. frightened

C. injured D. surprised

3.Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home? _________.

A. She was curious about it.

B. She planned to keep it for fun.

C. She needed it for her school task.

D. She intended to scare her parents.

4.Jessica’s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because .

A. they were crazy

B. they were overexcited

C. they realized their misunderstanding

D. they both thought they had won the quarrel
