it was like a gathering at the united nations in new york. the mix is less striking. its like a gathering at bloomingdales, a well-known department store. for new yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means brooklyn and queens in new york. but at mallerys, when i said that i had been to myanmar recently, people knew where it was. in new york people would think it was a usual new club ( ) 1. what does the word shot in paragraph 1 probably mean? a. choice. b. try c. style. d. goal ( ) 2. what does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in new york? a there is a strange mix of people. b. the restaurants are expensive. c. the bill is not fairly shared. d. people have to pay cash ( ) 3. what does the author think of the parties in london? a. a bit unusual b. full of tricks. c. less costly. d more interesting. ( ) 4. what is the authors opinion of some new yorkers from her experience? a. easy-going. b. self-centered. c. generous. d. conservative. 1. b.词义猜测题.从第一句的 hate,到 but 意义上的转折,说明尽管不喜欢,还是要尝 试一下,所以 try 的意思更接近 shot. 2. c.细节理解题.根据第一段中 theyll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who dont drink, end up paying even more.可知类似作者这样的人在纽约吃饭 吃亏,因为付钱多. 3. d. 推理判断题.根据第二段和其中的句子 not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. 可以推断伦敦的 party 要比纽约的有趣. 4. b.推理判断题.从最后一段的 talking about other parts of the world means brooklyn and queens in new york.和 in new york people would think it was a usual new club 可以推断,作 者对一些纽约人的看法,是以自我为中心的. 短文改错。假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同学写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。dear editor，im writing to tell you something about how we students use the internet. as we all know, the internet is playing a important part in our daily life. we often read news at home and abroad and learning foreign languages by ourselves on the internet. sometimes we sent emails to our families as well as our friends. beside, we listen
