14.Everyone knows how the story of Cinderella ends,but did you ever really think about how she spent her days before she met the prince?Her daily routine was not fascinating.She did everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals.If someone had asked Cinderella,"Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?"she probably would have answered,"Why,none,of course.Housework is my duty!"In the real world,however,most people have definite dislikes for certain sorts of household work.Two of these tasks are ironing clothes and washing dishes.
Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly.Each piece of clothing must be handled individually,so ironing a basket of laundry can take hours!After ironing a piece of clothing with great caution,which-requires smoothing out the fabric,and following the seams (線縫),you need to place it on a hanger as soon as possible.If you do not follow these directions carefully,it might become wrinkled (有皺紋的) and you have to start over.Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do.It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end.
Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes.Of course,some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because we have dishwashers now!However,no one would argue that dishes,silverware,and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don't come out as clean as they do when washed by hand.For this reason,many of us continues to wash our dishes by hand,but we are not necessarily happy doing it.Cleaning dishes is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them.In addition,unlike ironing clothes,washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day.I don't know how Cinderella felt about this particular task,but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do.

53.Why do most people hate to do clothes-ironing?D
A.Because it has to be done by one person.  B.Because it must be handled skillfully.
C.Because it involves careful planning.     D.Because it is time-consuming.
54.To avoid ironing the clothes over again,one shouldB.
A.know how to iron certain clothes material  B.spare no care through all the procedures
C.find some proper hangers for the ironed    D.pay special attention to the seams
55.Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machine washing becauseA.
A.hand-washed dishes are cleaner
B.washing dishes by hand is cheaper
C.dishwashers are not so easily handled
D.some dishes cannot be machine washed
56.In which way is ironing different from dishwashing?A
A.It is not a daily routine. B.It demands less care.
C.It requires patience.      D.It is not laborious.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了人們最討厭的兩件家務(wù)事熨燙衣服和洗盤子,熨燙衣服需要花費極長的時間并且過程中需要全神貫注,而洗盤子現(xiàn)在雖然已經(jīng)有了洗碗機,但由于清潔度不高,人們還是更喜歡手洗.

解答 53.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二段"Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly"可知大多數(shù)人不喜歡燙衣服的原因是它太耗時間;故選D.
54.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第二段"It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end"它需要從開始到結(jié)束極端注重細節(jié),可推測為了避免再次熨燙衣服我們應(yīng)該全程都集中注意;故選B.
55.A.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第三段"no one would argue that dishes,silverware,and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher don't come out as clean as they do when washed by hand"可知許多人仍然喜歡用手洗盤子洗盤子是因為手洗比較干凈;故選A.
56.A.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第三段"unlike ironing clothes,washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day"可知熨燙衣服不是一種每天都會做的事;故選A.

點評 考察學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
