20.A.Necessity for china-and-silver elegance
B.A new trend towards casual dining
C.Preference for traditional dining
D.Shrinking of the pottery industry
E.Roots of casual dining
F.Reasons for the shrinking of the pottery industry

When families gather for Christmas dinner,some will stick to formal traditions dating back to Grandma's generation.Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver,and the dress code will be Sunday-best.

76.But in many other homes,this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware(粗陶)-and-stainless informality,with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look.For hosts and guests,the change means greater simplicity and comfort.For makers of fine china in Britain,it spells economic hard times.B
77.Last week Royal Doulton,the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent,announced that it is eliminating 1,000jobs-one-fifth of its total workforce.That brings to more than 4,000the number of positions lost in 18months in the pottery region.Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier.D
78.Although the increased value of the pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing,the layoffs in Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts.A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company"has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend"toward casual dining.Families eat together less often,he explained,and more people eat alone,either because they are single or they eat in front of television.F
79.Even dinner parties,if they happen at all,have gone casual.In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules,busy hosts insist,rightly,that it's better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a"real"dinner party.Too often,the perfect moment never comes.Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth?Forget it.Polish the silver?Who has time?E
80.Yet the loss of formality has its down side.The fine points etiquette(禮節(jié)) that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents.("Chew with your mouth closed.""Keep your elbows off the table.") must be picked up elsewhere.Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be competent professionally but clueless socially.A.

分析 本文為信息匹配,讓考生根據(jù)段落內容選擇主旨句.

解答 76---80 BDFEA
76.答案B.信息匹配題.根據(jù)題干關鍵詞with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look和the change means greater simplicity and comfort可知,此段講日常就餐的變化.對應B A new trend towards casual dining日常就餐的新趨勢.
77.答案D.信息匹配題.根據(jù)題干關鍵詞eliminating,in the pottery region和Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier可知,本段講陶瓷產業(yè)的縮減.對應D.
78.答案F.信息匹配題.根據(jù)題干關鍵詞Families eat together less often,he explained,and more people eat alone,either because they are single or they eat in front of television可知,本段講陶瓷業(yè)不景氣的原因.對應F.
79.答案E.信息匹配題.根據(jù)題干關鍵詞Even dinner parties,if they happen at all,have gone casual可知,本段要講正餐變得隨便的根源.故選E.
80.答案A.信息匹配題.根據(jù)題干關鍵詞The fine points etiquette(禮節(jié))must be picked up elsewhere.Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees可知,本段在呼吁召回傳統(tǒng)的就餐禮儀.對應A.

點評 信息匹配題解題技巧:1.先題后文.先看題再看文章能夠將更多簡單的題先做出來,當你發(fā)現(xiàn)簡單題全部處理完畢之后,剩下的難題可以再重新回到文章當中再去找那些已經被挑剩下的段落.所以不管怎么樣一定是先題后文,稍后再文題同步或先文后題.2.關鍵詞定位(key words positioning) 和同義替換(paraphrasing).其實閱讀只考兩件事,一件事情是簡單的:看到什么,定位什么,選擇什么;而另外一個則是通過定位確定這個位置,然后再進行一個切換之后發(fā)現(xiàn)原來這個東西就是另外一個東西.

11.How to Protect Yourself from Hackers Online
An increase in cyber-attacks (網絡攻擊) makes the Internet seem like a scary place these days.How can individuals protect or make it more difficult for hackers to access their information?Here are several tips that can help you protect against cyber-attacks:
(36)C
Hard passwords include upper and lower case letters,numbers and special characters.They should be at least eight characters in length.They should also not spell out words easy for hackers to find,like your pet's name or the name of a family member.
Change your password regularly
A very common mistake made by users is to create one hard password,but then never change it.Remembering a long list of complicated passwords can be difficult.But no password is unbreakable.Hackers are better able to hack multiple accounts if those accounts all have the same password.A password management service,like Dashlane or PasswordBox,can help you keep track of hard passwords.(37)B
Clear your browser (瀏覽器) history
This goes for all the devices you use in a day-your home computer,your work computer,or your friend's iPad.Internet browsers like Firefox or Chrome keep track of where you've been and what you've done online.They keep records of every site you visited.(38)FIt is very easy for anyone who sees that information to steal a detailed record of your online activities.
Do not use free Wi-Fi
(39)EOften,a user does not need a password to connect to these wireless networks.These services might be useful,but they're also an easy way for hackers to access everything on your device.
Use anti-virus protection
There are many anti-virus services available for users.(40)DSome anti-virus services are even free.They are a great way to have a professional help keeping users one step ahead of hackers.

A.Be careful while using thumb drive.
B.These services permit users to easily store and secure their passwords.
C.Make your password harder to hack.
D.They can offer many different types of computer protection.
E.An increasing number of public places now offer free wireless access to the Internet.
F.Information about what you sent from or saved on your computer can be kept for days or weeks.

8.[1]The year 2008 has one extra day in it-February 29th.Well,it actually takes the planet Earth a little more than 365 days to revolve completely around the sun.After four years an extra 24 hours have accumulated so an extra day is added to the calendar.
[2]It is called a leap year because hundreds of years ago in England,the extra day wasn't legally recognized.The British just leapt over that day.Therefore a year with 29 days in February is consequently called a leap year and that 29th day is sometimes called Leap Day.If you are born on 29th February in a leap year,there are difficulties in celebrating your birthday.So people tend to celebrate on either 28th February or 1st March every year.
[3]There is a well-known tradition in the UK associated with 29th February,introduced many centuries ago.Women are allowed to break with tradition and propose (求婚)to their boyfriends on this day.This all started back in the 5th Century,when a famous Irish saint,Bridget,complained to Saint Patrick,another famous Irish saint,that women had to wait too long for men to propose.
According to the legend,Saint Patrick said any female longing for a proposal could ask their boyfriend to marry them on this additional day in February.
[4]Now in 2008,there are calls for 29th February to become a public holiday.Some people believe that it should be an official day off,because no one gets paid for working in a leap day.For the moment though,the British still have to go to work on this day.

76.How long does it take the planet Earth to revolve completely around the sun?(no more than 9 words)365 days and 6 hours
77.What does the word"them"(Line 6,Paragraph 3)probably refer to?(no more than 3 words)females/women/girlfriends
78.Should a leap day be a day on or off?Give your reason.(no more than 18 words)
I think it should be officially off because no pay is given for that day's work
79.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 1 with proper words.(no more than 6 words)You may wonder why./Why does this happen(come about)
80.What is the main idea of the text?(no more than 8 words)The year 2008 has one extra/more day..

Contrary to the monarch-type parents,the servant-type.parents circle around their children all the time.They are soft,good-nature,and easy-going.They never deny their children any wish.and cheerfully run to buy anything their children ask for.They are happy so tong as their children are content.With the sincere belief that love means sacrifice,they are ready to give up anything for their children's sake.With their children at the center of their lives,they always ask"              ?"

12.[1]The fact that cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health is hardly new information.Cigarette smoking is the single most preventable cause of disease and early death in the United States.So why do so many teens continue to smoke?There are lots of reasons,you usually start for one reason or another and then it is really hard to quit.
[2]Nicotine acts in the brain where it can help develop feelings of pleasure,and pleasure feels good!It also will work as an appetite suppressant(抑制劑) for many people; other people believe it relieves stress.This may help explain why it is hard __________.
[3]Experimental smoking usually begins the habit.Next comes occasional cigarette smoking at parties,on weekends,with friends or when trying to lose weight.This is the most dangerous stage,because it usually leads to an addictive stage,when teens become regular smokers. People who start smoking before the age of 21 have the hardest time quitting.
[4]There is no safe amount of smoking.Every cigarette causes some harm to the body.Once smoke touches the lips,it begins to attack living tissues,and it continues its attack wherever it goes.Cigarette smokers have less ability to carry oxygen to the rest of the body and this is why smokers have less endurance(耐力) when running or participating in sports.
[5]Smokers also get wrinkles at an earlier age.The smoke changes the elasticity(彈性) of the skin and fine lines appear around the eyes and mouth.Your clothes and hair will smell from smoke and pretty soon you can no longer smell it.Kissing a smoker is like kissing an ashtray(煙灰缸).
[6]There is no right way to quit smoking,but surely you can do it!
[7]If you are thinking about smoking,the only way to avoid getting addicted to cigarettes is never to start in the first place.
 
76.What should teens do according to the advice in the article?(no more than 15 words)Teens should either stop or not/never start smoking.

It's already known that smoking is likely to cause illness.
78.Fill in the blank in Para 2 with proper words.(no more than 5 words)for smokers to stop/(for people) to stop smoking

9.A brand is a name,word,sign,symbol,design,or a combination of these,intended to identify the goods or services of a company or a group of companies.Another purpose of a brand is to contrast one company from another.The most important skill of professional marketers is the ability to create,maintain,protect,and enhance (增強) the brands of their products and services.Branding has become so important that today hardly any company or product is without one.Therefore,brand management is an increasingly important element in marketing.
Brand power refers to the relative strength of a company's brand in the minds of consumers,and can influence consumers'choice of products.Brands are powerful to the extent that they give high brand loyalty and strong brand associations,name recognition,perceived quality and other assets (資產) to a company.A strong brand can be one of a company's most important assets.
High brand power provides a company with many competitive advantages.A powerful brand enjoys a high level of consumer brand awareness and loyalty.Because consumers expect stores to carry the brand,the company has more bargaining power when negotiating with retailers (零售商).And because the brand name brings high credibility (可信度),a company with a strong brand can more easily launch new products with the same brand name.
Many companies use the advantage of a strong brand power strategically to expand their business.When a company introduces an additional item with a new flavour,form,colour or package size in a given product category and under the same brand name,it is called a line extension.Another strategy is called brand extension.This involves the use of a successful brand name to launch new or modified products in a new category,therefore employing brand recognition in order to increase sales of new products.
Brand recognition is certainly important.Because consumers often hold long-standing perceptions about brands,high brand power ensure a company continues sales of its products.

81.What can be used as a brand of a company or a group of companies?( No more than 12words )a name,word,sign,symbol,design,or a combination of these
82.What effect does a company's brand have on consumers?( No more than 8words )It can influence consumers'choice of products.
83.What is the purpose for a brand extension?( No more than 8words )to launch new or modified products
84.What might be the best title of this passage?( No more than 8words )Brand Power.
