【題目】A beach town in the US state of New Jersey recently passed a ban o trousers, jeans and shorts that hang less than 3 inches below the hips(臀部) for an excuse of being unfriendly to others’ eyes. But besides those low-hanging pants, here are some other items of popular travel clothing that may also need to be banned.

Thai Fisherman Pants: These lightweight cotton pants, wide in the waist and originally designed for Thai fishermen, are popular among men and women due to their comfort, ability to last long and relative ease of wearing. But the bad news is that wearing these pants isn’t the way to be respected in Bangkok.

“Wearing them to wander around the town is considered ’low class’ (even if we don’t say it out loudly),” wrote a local Bangkok woman, who called herself “Beebah” on line. “It’s better to dress ‘respectable’ if you want to be treated well. Even a T-shirt and shorts are better than fisherman pants and tight sleeveless shirts. If you really love them, wear them at home.”

T-shirts with slogans: Wearing T-shirts with slogans in the local language on them may seem cool to some young tourists who are swept up in the excitement of being in a foreign country for the first time. But be careful as they could be some meaningless words and make you look really stupid. What’s worse, some slogan T-shirts are political--you might get yourself into trouble without even knowing about it.

Croce(洞洞鞋): Comfortable and easy to slip on and off, Crocs have been go-to-beach shoes for many tourists. But we must admit that these holey plastic shoes are deadly ugly in every way. “Supporters would hold that the comfort of the Crocs is over their looks, but Babyclothes are comfortable, too. Your don’t feel the need to walk around in them, do you?” said a friend of mine.

1Why are Thai Fisherman Pants popular?

A. Because they are beautiful and fashionable

B. Because they are cheap, fashionable and easy to be made

C. Because they are comfortable, lasting and easy to wear

D. Because they are respectable and handsome

2According to the local Bangkok woman who called herself “Beebah” online, .

A. one should never wear Thai Fisherman Pants

B. one should never walk in a T-shirt or shorts

C. Thai Fisherman Pants aren’t proper in public

D. the local people don’t like Thai Fisherman Pants

3According to the passage before wearing a T-shirt with slogans, you should make sure .

A. the words are in the local language

B. you know the meaning of the words

C. it is the most popular at the moment

D. the words have something to do with politics

4The author’s friend’s attitude to the Crocs is .

A. supportive B. disappointed

C. interested D. critical

【解析】美國新澤西州的一個海濱小鎮(zhèn)最近通過一項(xiàng)禁令,禁止人們在該鎮(zhèn)穿著露臀3英寸(7.6厘米)以上的低腰褲、牛仔褲以及短褲。但是低腰褲并非唯一的時尚禁忌。本文介紹了一些有關(guān)夏日旅行著裝的時尚禁忌!

1C

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中Thai Fisherman Pants: These lightweight cotton pants, wide in the waist and originally designed for Thai fishermen, are popular among men and women due to their comfort, ability to last long and relative ease of wearing. Thai Fisherman Pants之所以受歡迎是因?yàn)槭孢m、耐穿、輕便而廣受歡迎。故選C。

2C

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句But the bad news is that wearing these pants isn’t the way to be respected in Bangkok. 但壞消息是,在曼谷穿著漁夫褲無法令你顯得“入鄉(xiāng)隨俗”,這樣做只會讓你成為千千萬曼谷背包客大軍中的一員。和第三段第一句“Wearing them to wander around the town is considered ’low class’ (even if we don’t say it out loudly),” 穿著人字拖和漁夫褲在城市中閑逛,會被認(rèn)為是低階層’(盡管我們不會大聲說出來)由此推出Thai Fisherman Pants 不適合在公共場所穿。故選C。

3B

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中But be careful as they could be some meaningless words and make you look really stupid. What’s worse, some slogan T-shirts are political--you might get yourself into trouble without even knowing about it.它們可能只是一堆廢話,令你看上去傻乎乎的。更糟糕的是,一些標(biāo)語T恤帶有政治色彩你可能會身陷麻煩之中卻全然不知。由此推知在你選擇帶標(biāo)語的體恤衫時,首先你要弄清楚那些話的意思。故選B。

4D

推理判斷題根據(jù)最后一段中Supporters would hold that the comfort of the Crocs is over their looks, but Babyclothes are comfortable, too. Your don’t feel the need to walk around in them, do you?” said a friend of mine.盡管支持者們認(rèn)為,相對于外觀的丑陋,他們更在乎的是舒適度。但是,嬰兒服也很舒適,你想穿著它們到處走嗎?”可知作者對洞洞鞋持批評的態(tài)度。故選D。

James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his future wife to choose a birthday present. The assistant listened carefully and told him he'd better buy a necklace. He wasn't used to buying jewellery and was a little worried about over-spending. After some discussion as to a reasonable price and the type, the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o'clock. When, half an hour later than planned, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and safe since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔調(diào)) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I'm terribly sorry, but have a nice day. ”
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heartwarming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
(1)How does the author understand Maxie's words?
A.Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.
B.Maxie really wishes the author a good day.
C.Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.
D.Maxie really worries about the author's safety.
(2)What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.The salesgirl is rude to the customers.
B.The salesgirl is bored with her work.
C.The salesgirl cares about me.
D.The salesgirl says the words as usual.
(3)According to the last paragraph, people say “ Have a nice day” ______________.
A.as a habit
B.as thanks
C.sincerely
D.encouragingly

It is five years now since I graduate from No. 6 High School. Last Saturday, the class that I was on held a get-together, which took us a long time prepare. It was indeed not easy to get in the touch with everybody and set a well time for all of us. We all enjoyed this precious day greatly, remember the time we spent together and the people they were familiar with.

It does not have to be January 1st to give yourself a chance to make the most out of your day. Every day is a new day and a fresh start to learn, grow, develop your strengths, free yourself from past regrets or hurts, and move forward older and wiser. Every day gives you chance to reinvent yourself. It is never too late to change things that are not working in your life.
Each day is a new beginning and a piece of blank paper. How would you like to create your day? If you wake up in a negative mind, you are more likely to paint a dark picture throughout the day, and your picture will not show hope, happiness and joy.
If you take each day to think actively, and have a positive intention for how you would like to create your day, how would your life different? What can daily positive intentions do for you? Every day you will give yourself the gift of an “attitude of gratitude”.
Each day is a chance to look at things in a different way. You can experience each day in the beauty of the world—and the beauty of you who is in it! You find yourself changing from “I can't” to “I can”. With a focus on positive intentions, you feel you are full of power and more like a “winner” than a “l(fā)oser”.
You pay more attention to the present, and will be more likely to live fully in the present each moment of each day. After all, the past is a great place to visit, but you don't want to live there! So how about starting each day taking a moment to think of a positive intention for the day?
(1)The first paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A.we should make every day a new start
B.January 1st is the most important day
C.learning is helpful in reinventing ourselves
D.we needn't change ourselves at all

A.not clear
B.not wise
C.not happy
D.not careful
(3)If you have daily positive intentions, you will ________.
A.get a positive result
B.have a busy life
C.get gifts from others
D.be a complete loser
(4)From the passage we can learn that ________.
A.past regrets or hurts can make you older and wiser
B.think actively and you will be a winner, not a loser
C.the present is not where you should live for ever
D.positive intentions for each day are of great help

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions(同伴) than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.
The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company's “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product's location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal.
(1)How are social robots different from household robots?
A.They are more like humans.
B.They can control their emotions.
C.They do the normal housework.
D.They respond to users more slowly.
(2)What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3?
A.Communicate with you and perform operations.
B.Obey your orders and remind you to take medicine.
C.Answer your questions and make requests.
D.Take your family pictures and deliver milk.
(3)What can Oshbot work as?
A.A language teacher.
B.A tour guide.
C.A private nurse.
D.A shop assistant.
(4)We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ________.
A.improve technologies
B.train employees
C.be our workmates
D.take the place of workers
(5)What does the passage mainly present?
A.An introduction to social robots.
B.Marketing strategies for social robots.
C.A new design idea of household robots.
D.Information on household robots.
