15.I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage.For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father.Totally loving.No ifs,ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio.The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives.Then he went on to say,"Love is an act of will.A person can choose to love."To myself,I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband.Well,for two weeks that would change.
And it did.Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said,"That new yellow sweater looks great on you.""Oh,Tom,you noticed,"she said,surprised and pleased.Maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive,I wanted to sit and read.Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach.I started to refuse,but then I thought,"Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me."We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went.Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums.Relaxed and happy,that's how the whole vacation passed.I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment,however.Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.On the last night at our cottage,preparing for bed,Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
"What's the matter?"I asked her.
"Tom,"she said in a voice filled with distress,"I don't?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me?Tom,you've been so good to me…am I dying?"
It took a moment for it all to be understood.Then I burst out laughing.
"No,honey,"I said,wrapping her in my arms."You're not dying; I'm just starting to live."
7.In the first paragraph,the underlined"No ifs,ands or buts"probably meansD.
A.Unintentionally
B.Independently
C.Impressively
D.Unconditionally
8.From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottageC.
A.with his family
B.with Evelyn
C.a(chǎn)lone
D.with his children
9.The author says,"There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment."What does"one thing"refer to?D
A.He praised her sweater,which puzzled her.
B.She insisted on visiting a museum,which he hated.
C.He knew something about her illness but didn't tell her.
D.He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.
10.By saying"I'm just starting to live,"Tom means thatB.
A.He is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life.
B.He is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband.
C.He lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change.
D.He is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before.

分析 本文寫了一名丈夫決定做一個好丈夫,在生活中開始對妻子和孩子充滿愛的故事.

解答 7.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)文中句子"Totally loving.No ifs,ands or buts",完完全全的充滿愛意,沒有如果,并且,但是等任何的條件,unconditionally無條件的,所以答案選D.
8.C.推理判斷題,根據(jù)文章第一句"I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage."在去獨家海灘的小屋的路上,我對自己做出了一個承諾要改變自己,下一次去海邊的時候是帶著全家去的,可以推斷去海邊的房子是他一個人去的,所以答案選C.
9.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)下文的敘述"Tom,you've been so good to me…am I dying"我對妻子如此好,以至于她認(rèn)為自己快要死了,所以答案選D.
10.B.推理判斷題,從文章開頭作者做了一個承諾要做一位好丈夫,對妻子的好才剛剛開始,所以答案B復(fù)合句意.

點評 本文是一個科教類閱讀理解,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).

3.Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship.Before you start a discussion,however,make sure you understand which topics are suitable and which are considered taboos(禁忌) in a particular culture.Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history,art,and customs.They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children.You may feel free to ask similar questions of your Latin American friends.The French think of conversation as an art form,and they enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements.For them,arguments can be interesting and they can cover pretty much or any topic as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent(智慧的) manner.
In the United States,business people like to discuss a wide range of topics,including opinions about work,family,hobbies,and politics.In Japan,China,and Korea,however,people are much more private.They do not share much about their thoughts,feelings,or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious(和諧的) business relationship they're trying to build.Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters.It is considered rude,for example,to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.
As a general rule,it's best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends.This can get you into trouble,even in the United States,where people hold different views.In addition,discussing one's salary is usually considered unsuitable.Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world,although be careful not to criticize a national sport.Instead,be friendly and praise your host's team.
28.The author considers politics and religionB.
A.cheerful topics      B.taboos    C.rude topics D.too serious
29.Which is typically a friendly topic in most places according to the author?
A
A.Sports.B.Children.C.Personal feelings.D.Families.
30.In which country may it be suitable to talk about the family with your business friends?B
A.In France.B.In Saudi Arabia.C.In Korea.D.In the USA.
31.What shouldn't you do when talking about sports with colleagues from another country?D
A.Praising your own country's sports.
B.Criticizing your own country's sports.
C.Praising the sports of your colleagues'country.
D.Criticizing the sports of your colleagues'country.

4.One in three of us eat more meals by ourselves than we do with other people,a new study showed today.
But before you digest that somewhat depressing figures,there is some good news---kind of---a lot of us are perfectly happy to eat alone because the computer and TV provide us with solitary (獨居的) entertainment.
Perhaps unsurprisingly,half of the UK's bachelors eat a meal alone at least once a day.And even one in four mothers with families have dinner mostly by themselves according to a major report on eating trends and social change by the Future Foundation.However,eating alone doesn't seem to matter anymore if you can chat away on social networks-in fact it's now both a quick and entertaining affair.
"Suppertainment"is the phrase being coined for the current major trend that reflects the number of people who eat in front of the computer,TV or games.Single men are the majority leading this trend,with 60percent of them spending meal times plugged into something.However,40percent of mothers and 30percent of students also eat meals while being on the PC or laptop several times a week.
Boyd Hilton,TV and reviews editor of Heat Magazine says:"Setting yourself up in front of the TV to‘Suppertain'comes naturally,especially when you've been on the go all day.
"If I'm on my own I always tend to make a quick and easy meal and settle down to watch something entertaining or I'll get on the laptop and catch up with comedies."
"I think it's such a bonus that healthy,tasty convenience meals now mean you can relax about eating good food without having to worry about preparation time."
