  America’s latest strategy(對策)for single persons who don’t want to be single any longer has many names:speed-dating, express-date, 10-minute-dating or simply mini-date.

  The principle is the same:Why spend an   1   evening with a stranger   2   you realize after only the first few minutes that you can’t   3   the person?

  The solution:The man and woman sit down   4   each other.A bell is sounded, and in the next 7 to 10 minutes each one tries to find out as much as possible about the   5   person.When the bell   6   off a second time, the man stands up and moves   7   to the next female.

  At such a meeting in San Francisco   8  , some 200 men and women between the ages of 30 and 60 had a   9   expression on their faces, in two long   10  opposite each other.The signal was given, and then almost everybody started   11   away.

  Richard Gosse,   12   of“AMERICAN SINGLES”, says this is the fastest, most effective and at the moment“  13  ”way to search for a partner.Minute-date has become a   14   everywhere from computer fans in Silicon Valley to young people in San Francisco to the suburbs of Chicago.Gosse says the quick method to get to know each other is helpful above all for   15   singles who are not brave enough to speak to a stranger in a bar.

  His   16  :Don’t talk about money, your weight or about your former partner, but   17   about your dreams, desires and hobbies.

  Most speed-dating meetings cost about US $25 per evening,   18   a person to get to know 15 to 20 people   19   the opposite sex.Speed-dating is so much in demand in America that most meetings are   20   out weeks and months in advance.

解析:

(1)

從下文8空一句可知。

(2)

上下文表示條件。

(3)

stand此處意為“忍受”,從這一句可推出1小題答案。這三個空聯(lián)系十分緊密,必須從整體上分析,才能找出正確答案。

(4)

因為這里指的是男女雙方的約會,雙方坐下來“面對面”的交流。

(5)

other person即“對方”。

(6)

go off此處意為鈴聲“響起”,時間到了。

(7)

on為副詞,指前一個動作的繼續(xù)。

(8)

A項與文章開頭的latest strategy矛盾;B、D兩項與下文和實際情況不符。

(9)

因為是兩個陌生人雙方的約會,雙方都希望能找到自己的伴侶。

(10)

約會的雙方坐在面對面的兩排凳子上。

(11)

(發(fā)出信號后)雙方開始交談。

(12)

chairman一詞單獨用,不加冠詞the,其余的必須加the。

(13)

hot意為“時髦;風(fēng)行的”。

(14)

從文中可知,這種快速約會方式從硅谷的電腦迷到舊金山、芝加哥的郊區(qū)的年輕人都采用。practice此意為“慣例”,指一個特定范圍內(nèi)的規(guī)則,而D項則指“社會習(xí)俗”。

(15)

從下文not brave enough to speak…可知。

(16)

tip意為“告誡,建議”;warning指對一些有危險的事情所發(fā)出的“警告”。

(17)

整個空應(yīng)為but you would raher talk about…,聯(lián)系前句可知。

(18)

約會是某人自己的事情,肯定是自愿的,故A、B、C皆不合邏輯。

(19)

of表示所屬。

(20)

從前句快速約會是so much in demand和下文in advance可知。
