解答 53-56.DCBA
53題答案:D考查細節(jié)推理,根據(jù)第三段的Special needs children need to be special somewhere else,"the complaining father reportedly said.(那位抱怨的父親命令式地說道:特殊需要的孩子需要特殊的地方)可知在服務(wù)員已經(jīng)為這家人換位置后這家人還是不依不饒,要求孩子離開餐館;因此可知這家人不為他人考慮,很自私.故本題答案為D選項.
54題答案:C考查細節(jié)推理,根據(jù)文章第三段的Special needs children need to be special somewhere else.(特殊需要的孩子需要到別的特殊的地方去)可知本題答案為C選項.注意:題干問的是"推測",B選項是已知事實,故不可選.
55題答案:B考查細節(jié)推理,根據(jù)后面的"My personal feelings took over,"he said,leading him to tell the father."Sir,I won't be able to serve you."(他說:我的個人感受占據(jù)了我.導致他告訴這位父親:先生,我們不會為你服務(wù).)可知劃線部分的意思是"做自己認為對的事情",故本題答案為B選項.
56題答案:A考查細節(jié)推理,根據(jù)文章第五段的The restaurant's Facebook page has received praise from people in Texas and beyond.這家餐館的臉書已經(jīng)收到了來自德克薩斯州和其它地方人們的贊揚.可知臉書這一網(wǎng)絡(luò)中的很多用戶可能做過像Garcia一樣為患有這種疾病的人"撐腰"的事情(不然他們怎么會贊揚Garcia的行為呢?),故本題答案為A選項.

點評 本文是一篇科教類閱讀,題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對 性找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確的答案.

Definitely not.Just take a look at the streets and sidewalks around town.There is litter everywhere:fast food wrappers,soft drink cans,plastic bags,and more.This litter is dirty and ugly.It takes the shine off our lovely town.
But it doesn't have to be this way.In many neighboring towns,volunteer groups"adopt"a mile of a street or road to keep clean.The groups include schools,churches,and clubs.Volunteers pick up litter,cut bushes,wash sidewalks,and even plant flowers!
Sure,the volunteers work hard,but they also get to enjoy the beauty of their town.Better yet,they feel proud of themselves for making their town a better place to live.
So what are the people of Albertsville waiting for?Talk to people in your school,church,or club about adopting part of a street or road.Then get to work!If enough volunteer groups get busy,Albertsville really will shine this spring.

2.Imagine watching a movie,and seated beside you is someone who's texting(發(fā)短信) every 10minutes.It is the most annoying movie experience one can have.Even if the mobile phone is silent,its intermittent( 間歇的) flashes of light are extremely bothersome.Maybe texting once is tolerable(過的去的),more than that means you're not being considerate(體貼的) of others.
Manners are exactly that:basic consideration of those around you.
It's in the movie theater where you see a mix of different personalities,and you don't even have to speak to them,not like at a party.It's where you see how people behave,and most people act as if there is no one else in the movie theater except them.
For instance,the food people bring in.Again,popcorn,nachos(墨西哥玉米片),chips and a drink are standard movie food.What do they have in common?None of them smells.Okay,so buttered popcorn smells,but it smells nice.A burger loaded with onions or fried chicken or even pizza does not smell anywhere near good.So next time,please observe food choices; consider the smell as well.
Getting out of the theater is another thing altogether.Please allow the people in front of you to go ahead of you in moving out of their seats to the aisle.If there is space,you can move forward.Believe it or not,jostling(推撞) happens everywhere,even in supposedly high-end theatre.
Please don't kick the chair in front of you.When you kick the chair in front of you,it bothers the person seated on it.
Lastly,though a little embarrassing,do not remove your shoes in the movie house.Will people ever know it?Yes,by the smell.
Next time you go and enjoy a movie,kindly be considerate to those around you so that they,too,can enjoy the movie.

71.Keeping good manners can be defined asC.
A.keeping silence when seeing film
B.not eating any food
C.showing consideration to others
D.not texting when seeing film
72.Why is silencing your mobile phone not enough when watching a movie?A
A.Because other behavious are also troublesome.
B.Because chatting with each other is also troublesome.
C.Because keeping texting is also troublesome.
D.Because the smell of food is also troublesome.
73.What's in common about the food allowed to be taken to a movie theatre?D
A.The food smells good.
B.The food are not expensive.
C.The food are easy to carry.
D.None of the food smells.
74.When getting out of theatre,one shouldC first.
A.let old people go 
B.let sick people go
C.let people in front of you go
D.let children go
75.What can be the best title for the text?A
A.Movies Manners
B.Don't Text When in the Theatre
C.Taking Food Which Doesn't Smell
D.Letting Other People Go First.

12.Early risers are most likely to be healthy,wealthy and wise,according to the old saying.But those who are early to bed and early to rise do not always have advantages,researchers say.They have found that night owls(夜貓子) are generally brighter and wealthier than those who are able to get up early in the morning.
Experts from the University of Madrid carried out tests on around 1,000 teenagers and found that those who preferred to stay up late showed the kind of intelligence to find good jobs and earn much money.Larks or"morning people",however,often get better exam results,possibly because lessons are held at the wrong time of day for night owls.

But the Fusses weren't the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches.Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches'generosity.In some cases,it was a few thousand dollars; in other,it was more than$100,000.
