Does this ever happen to you? Someone introduces you to a friend, you hear his or her name, and then two minutes later, you forget it. Or you go to the same restaurant every day and the owner always says “Hello” to you but you can never remember her name. If this happens, you are typical — actually most people have the problem remembering names.
Here are some ways that can help people remember names.
※ Repeat the person’s name loud at least three times while you talk together. For example, instead of saying “Nice to meet you.” say “Nice to meet you, Jack (for Sue or whatever the person’s name is).” Instead of saying “Where do you live?” you can say “Where do you live, Jack?”
※ Introduce the person by name to someone else right away.
※ Write the name down (with a little information about the person) as soon as possible.
There are other ways which may seem a little strange. However, try them.
※ Think of a story using the person’s name. For example, think to yourself, “Jack has a nice jacket.” Imagine Jack in a nice jacket.
※ Think of a rhyme(押韻)for the person’s name. For example, think to yourself, “Jack would look nice in black.” Imagine Jack wearing black clothes.
All these ways have one thing in common. You must pay attention to the people you meet. You can’t just meet someone, nod your head, say hello, and walk away. Remembering names takes work and practice.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,判斷下列句子正誤。正確的用“A”表示,不正確的用“B”表示。
小題1: Few people have problems remembering others’ names.
小題2:The word “typical” probably means “common”.
小題3: It may seem unusual to help remember a name by making up a story with it.
小題4:If you want to remember names easily, you must talk politely to the people you meet.
小題5: This passage mainly tells us how to get on well with others.

小題1:B
小題2:A
小題3:A
小題4:B
小題5:B

試題分析:本文主要講述別人介紹與你認識時,你能記住他們的名字嗎?并介紹了能記住他們名字的幾種方法。
小題1:判斷推理題。由第一段中actually most people have the problem remembering names.可知事實上大部分人在記住別人名字上有困難,而不是幾乎沒人(few people---)故選B
小題2:詞義判斷題。由后一句actually most people have the problem remembering names. 可判斷The word “typical” probably means “common”.(典型的,普遍的)故選A
小題3:細節(jié)理解題。 由There are other ways which may seem a little strange. However, try them.
※ Think of a story using the person’s name.中a little strange.可知It may seem unusual to help remember a name by making up a story with it.通過由人名創(chuàng)作故事可能看起來有點怪,不尋常。故選A
小題4:細節(jié)理解題。由最后一段可知句意所有這些讓你記住名字的方法有一共同特點讓你必須關(guān)注別人,而非you must talk politely to the people you meet(不能單純點頭、問候、走開)故選B
小題5:主旨大意題。通過分析可知 This passage mainly tells us how to remember the others’names(如何記住別人的名字).而不是how to get on well with others(如何與別人相處)故選B

When I crossed a small road on my first day in Kolkata, I was surprised because I heard a bell-not a horn (喇叭),  It was a tiny man pulling a rickshaw, He stopped and picked up two children from the front door of their house and pulled them to school.

Throughout history, people have been interested in knowing how language first began, but no one knows exactly where or how this happened. However, we do know a lot about languages, the language of today and also the languages of earlier times. There are probably about three thousand languages in the world today. Chinese is the language with the most speakers. English, Russian and Spanish are also spoken by millions of people. On the other hand, some languages in the world have less than one hundred speakers.
There are several important families of languages in the world. For example, most of the languages of Europe are in one large family called Indo-European. The original language of this family was spoken about 4,500 years ago. Many of the present-day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4,500 years ago.
Languages are always changing. The English of today is very different from the English of 500 years ago. In time, some even die out completely. About 1,000 years ago, English was a little known relative of German spoken on one of the borders of Europe.
If a language has a number of speakers, or if it is very old, there may be differences in the way it is spoken in different areas. That is, the language may have several dialects. Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of people. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of China can’t understand speakers from other parts.

Dear Sir,
I am writing to you about my stay at your hotel. My wife and I arrived on Saturday, May 15th and stayed for a week. Though we were treated well and found the service excellent, we think there are one or two things we should bring your attention.
1. We hoped for a nice holiday from our busy work lives, and your ad said “comfortable and quiet”. We want to have a chance to enjoy ourselves. However, we were always waken up by the noise every morning. Is it really necessary for the workers to start their repair work so early?
2. We hoped to swim in your “wonderful pool”. To our disappointment(失望), we found that it was closed for the whole time of our stay.
I hope you do not mind my writing to you about these things, but I would be happy if you could give me some explanation(說明). As I said at the start, it is a pity, and your service is so good in other places.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours sincerely
