第一节 (共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 adear editor, brockingham is run by people who are more interested in tourists than its residents. the problem is that the people running the government refuse to accept new ideas. by banning all fast-food restaurants and discount stores, they take away all the places kids can afford to shop.these people forget that when they were young, they could go to the south street soda fountain and get an ice-cream soda for 25 cents. today you cant find an ice-cream soda anywhere in brockingham for less than $2! where can kids go for a snack?there is not a single restaurant in brockingham where a family of four can eat dinner for less than $100. add a 15% tip and sales tax and you have spent nearly $125 to eat a meal you could prepare at home for about $12. have you noticed that brockingham families never dine in brockingham?fast-food restaurants are also a good place for school kids to get an after-school job. fast-food restaurants are busiest during the early supper hours when students are able to work, whereas the fancy food restaurants cater to late-night diners. working in one of these establishments requires working shifts that are too late for most students.the city council claims that local merchants, rather than national chains, should benefit from the tourist business. i agree that it is important to support local businesses, but i think the fast-food restaurants would encourage more people to shop in brockingham.another thing that disturbs me is that we must travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store. if i need a tire for my bike, i have a choice of buying one at surf and peddle sport shop for $15 or driving to parkersburg discount center where i can buy the same kind of tire for $9. again, i think the ban on all food chains and discount houses is counterproductive for our city.wes woodrow9th-grade student at brockingham high school56. why does wes woodrow write this letter to the editor? a. because the government bans all fastfood restaurants and discount stores in brockingham.b. because the writer cant find an icecream soda anywhere in brockingham for less than $2.c. because a family of four cant find a restaurant in brockingham to eat dinner for less than $100.d. because the writer has to travel 25 miles to the nearest discount store.57. from the letter we can infer that .a. the writer used to buy a lot of icecream sodab. the students refuse to work in fancy food restaurantsc. the governments ban benefits local merchants muchd. discount stores usually offer a discount of 40%.58. the underlined word “counterproductive” in paragraph 6 of the letter probably means_.a. cheap, not expensiveb. surprising, not expectedc. harmful, not helpfuld. doubtful, not sure59. one way the writer of this letter tries to convince the reader is by . a. complaining that someone has to drive him to parkersburgb. getting an after-school job in fast-food restaurant himselfc. suggesting that many businessmen have the same opiniond. giving specific examples of the high costs in brockinghambcelia was shocked. she had always been in good shape during high school, but now, in her first year of college, she was suddenly ten pounds heavier. “my friends and i often had pizza or ice cream when we studied late at night,” she said, “and i was always drinking coke to stay awake.”celias experience is common. many students enter college and find it so different that they cannot deal with changes properly. theyre away from their parents and in a new stressful environment. pressures together with freedom to sleep and eat whatever they please cause many students to experience the “freshman 15”: gaining weight suddenly in their freshman year of college.most students do not realize that the “freshman 15” can cause some serious health problems. of course, college-age adults are still developing bone mass, so gaining some weight is normal. sudden weight gain, however, puts too much strain(负担)on the heart and lungs, resulting in little energy and some difficulty thinking and remembering. in later life, it can lead to heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and possible cancer.the solution to the “freshman 15” is simplepay attention to developing good habits! in general:eat normal-sized meals at regular times. eat slowly and enjoy it, so you dont need to go back for more.keep only healthy snacks in your roomand dont snack too often!control drinking and smoking. alcohol has a lot of calories, and smoking too much makes exercise difficult.exercise regularly! even just 30 minutes a daysuch as walking quickly to class from your dormwill make a big difference!60. what do many students think of their freshman year of college?a. they find it quite different. b. they find it not quite difficult.c. they find it very free. d. they find it simple.61. what do most college students fail to realize? a. gaining some weight is normal.b. they have grown up.c. they have gained a lot of weight.d. sudden weight gain may result in serious health problems.62. what are students advised to do?a. eat slowly and exercise regularly.b. eat all food slowly and regularly.c. keep enough healthy snacks in the room.d. eat healthy snacks as much as possible.csocial customs differ from country to country. does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? or doesnt it matter? what about table manners? should you use both hands when you are eating? should you leave one in your lap, or on the table?the americans and the british not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. for example, in both america and england people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. also, most englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most americans. promptness is important both in england and in america. that is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 oclock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.the important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable especially if they are your guests. there is an old story about a man who gave a formal dinner party. when the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. the other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. it would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.63. if one has accepted a dinner invitation, what should he do if he is to be late for the dinner?a. he should find an excuse. b. he should ask for excuse.c. he should say “sorry”. d. he should telephone to explain his being late.64. “it would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable” “bad manners” means _.a. ugly b. dishonest c. impolite d. shameful65. according to the text, the best host _.a. tried his best to make his guests feel comfortable b. makes his guests feel excitedc. tried to avoid being naughty to his guests d. tried to avoid being foolish66. the author of this article may agree with which of the following?a. the guest who ate his peas with a knife b. the other guests who were amused or shocked.c. the host who picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.d. none of the above.dfor a clearer picture of what the student knows, most teachers use another kind of examination in addition to objective tests. they use “essay” tests, which require students to write long answers to broad, general questions such as the following: “mention several ways in which benjamin franklin has influenced thinking of people in his own country and in other parts of the world.”one advantage of the essay test is that it reduces the element of luck. the student cannot get a high score just by making a lucky guess. another advantage is that it shows the examiner more cares about the students ability to put facts together into a meaningful whole. it should show how deeply he has thought about the subject. sometimes, though, essay tests have disadvantages, too. some students are able to write rather good answers without really knowing much about the subject, while other students who actually know the material have trouble expressing their ideas in the essay form.besides, in an essay test the students score may depend upon the examiners feelings at the time of reading the answer. if he is feeling tired or bored, the student may receive a lower score than he should. another examiner reading the same answer might give it a much higher mark. because of this, the objective test gives each student a fairer chance, and of course it is easier and quicker to score.whether an objective test or an essay test is used, problems arise. when some objective questions are used along with some essay questions, however, a fairly clear picture of the students knowledge can usually be gotten.67. what may have been discussed in the previous(先前的)paragraphs?a. the essay test. b. how teachers test their students.c. how students write their essays. d. the objective test.68. the essay test is preferred because . a. it shows more about the students understanding of the subjectb. it tests the students knowledge of the material as well as his expression of ideasc. it gives each student a fairer chanced. its scoring may be influenced by the examiners feelings69. the underlined word “this” in the third paragraph refers to the fact that . a. students may receive a lower score in an essay testb. another examiner usually gives the answer a higher markc. different examiners may give the same essay different scoresd. the objective test gives each student a fairer chance70. according to the passage, which of the following statements about the o
