8、the work to deal with lost tickets解析 1B参考the airline companies are doing everything they can bring forward cost-saving ticketless flight，从这句话来看，无票飞行能节约钱。 2C选项D错的原因是：向无票乘客提供短途(miles)免费游是部分航空公司的举措，不是所有航空公司所为。只对常客提供这种免费游，不是对任何乘客。 3A这里的paper lovers指喜欢持票乘机的人。 4D虽然文章中有这样一句话And there are rising punishments

9、 for paper lovers，但这不是航空公司所说的话，惩罚持票者也不是航空公司的目的，故不选B。文章的最后一句话说出了机票挂失提价的真正目的，也就是为了填补因为挂失而查找失票所造成的花费，这与选项D一致。考题2(典型例题，E)HOW TO BOOK Booking opens for Beckett Shorts on 8 September.

22、basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, aged 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 doesnt have to be that way, said Anac

23、lerio. 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 th

24、ey take care of everything. Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created (制作) 10 ready-to-use home 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,

25、 and theyre very interactive (互动) 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 cre- ations. The standard $ 200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with

26、 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 -9141.1. The main purpose of writing this text is. A. to share infomation about party planning. B. to introduce the joys of a birthday part

27、y. C. to announce a business plan. D. to sell a service 2. The most important idea behind the kind of party planning described here is that A. it brings parents and children closer together B. guests play a part in the preparation of a party C. parents are spared the trouble of sending invitations D

28、. it provides a subject of conversation 3. What does the underlined word hassle (Paragraph 1) probably mean? A. A party designed by specialists.B. A demand made by guests. C. A situation causing difficulty or trouble. D. A demand made by guests. 4. Which of the following is most likely to be a party

29、 planner.?解析 1D本题考查考生确定所读信息性质的能力。从短文的最后一个句子可以看出这是一个广告或提供服务信息类的文体。 2A.本题考查考生依据文中信息判断推理的能力。解本题可以用排除法。首先看B项：文中只讲到他们安排的节目有“互动性(interactlve)”，用at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses这个例子来说明这一点，但没有提到在准备过程中需要客人参与，故排除此项。C项：文中的相关信息在最后一段：The standardincludes a basket filledand the li

30、ke。正确的理解为：他们提供的服务都放在一只篮子里。里面有请帖、礼物和有关的东西。这只篮子is delivered to the home，但没有说发放请帖也是他们的事，故父母还不能免做此事，因此排除此项答案。D项中的subiecl of conversation也是没有依据的。文中只提到they build a sense of drama based on a subject(他们要制造出一种围绕某个主题的刺激的效果来)，没有提到conversation。A项的相关支撑信息在文章的第二段：Fheir goal is to help parents and children share in

31、 the fun part of party planning，。3C本题考查考生根据上下文猜词的能力。与hassle相呼应的句子是下文的 it can bea basket of fun关键词为fun“一次生日聚会不应该是做起来很吃力很麻烦的事，而应该是很开心的。”hassle与fun应该是一对反义词。 4A本题考查考生根据文中和画面信息确定某物性质的能力。从画面看，A幅上有具体的计划：有被邀请人的名单，安排的节目等；B、C为礼物；D项是一张“菜单(menll)”；文章的最后一段中提及planner与gifts，paper goods等都放在篮子里，所以planner不可能再指代gift了；

32、再根据构词法planner应该与plan有关，所以A项更符合。考题5(NMET 典型例题Cannes will rock to the sound of a cancan dance this year when Moulin Rouge by the Aus- tralian director Baz Luhrmann opens the French film festival (电影节) in May.

33、se-Lautrec. It will be competing for the Palme dOr, the festivals top prize. The festival runs to May 21. The American actor Tonmmy Lee Jones, 54, has married his longtime girlfriend, Dawn Maria Laurel, 36, in a private wedding in San Antonio. It wasnt a big to-do, said Fred Biery, a U.S. District J

34、udge who performed the service. He refused to discuss things further. These are very private people, he said. Loretta Lynn is being treated for a very bad cold in Tennessee and will miss several appear- ances. The country singer, 65, was admitted to a hospital near her home in Hurricane Mills. She i

35、s in good condition, but the doctors are watching her closely, a spokeswoman said. The French-Algerian singer Enrico Macias was named a United Nations peace messenger. Enrico joins eight other people who act as goodwill envoys (使者) for the United Nations, amongthem are the writer Elie Wiesel and the

36、 basketball player Magic Johnson.1. We can learn from the text that Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec is. A. a figure in a film B. a dancer in a show C. a country singer D. a prize winner 2. We know from the text that. A. Moulin Rouge won the top prize in a film festival B. Loretta Lynn is under the doctors

37、 care C. eight people serve as the UN goodwill envoys D. Fred Biery was Tommy Lee Jones assistant 3. This text most probably appears in. A. a book on film stars B. a film review in a magazine C. a newspaper D. a notice 解析 1A文章第一段的首句介绍的是一部电影，接着介绍人物及所扮演的角色，用as引出。 2BA项中讲到Moulin Rouge是这届法国电影节的首场展播电影，并非获

38、头奖(top prize)；C项中eight people的描述有错误，因为文中出现了Enrico joins eight other people who act as goodwill envoys，表明不止八位；D项中FredBiery，是aUSDistrict Judge who performed the service(指婚礼)，并非是assistant；而B的正确可以从第三段可以看出。3CA项abookon thefilmstars是一本书，不可能写得这么简洁；B项中a film re- view是指专门对一部电影所作的评论；D项指“布告，通知”，也不符合；而C项指报纸上的某一专

Perhaps this explains why Spaniards lead Europe in the habit of going out for a drink.The British attend more adult evening classes than anyone else in Europe, and the Bel- gia
