Question

【題目】People usually visit cafes to ease themselves of their tiredness and keep themselves from falling asleep, but Mr. Healing, a popular cafe chain in South Korea actually does the opposite. Customers can come in, order a drink, lie down a comfortable massage chair, and take a nap.

Many Koreans suffer from a lack of sleep as a result of overworking, so any opportunity to relax and even take a nap is greatly appreciated. Mr. Healing is the perfect place to go when you’re on a short work or school break and you need to catch up on sleep. The cafe offers massage periods in various modes, depending on how much time you have and how you choose to spend it.

The 20-minute session is priced at $ 3.5, the 30-minute massage costs $ 7, and the 50-minute session is $ 9, all of which also include a drink. Once you make your choice, you are taken to the “healing center”. You are asked to take off your shoes as well as any jewelry that might damage the chairs, after which you can choose a massage mode, from “stretch” or “sleep”. You can start with stretch for a few minutes, and then switch to sleep if you want to take a short nap. After it comes to an end, you are taken back to the cafe area to enjoy a coffee or one of the many other refreshing drinks on the menu.

Mr. Healing cafes are so popular in Korea that customers are advised to make reservations in advance to be sure that a massage chair is available. “I have to sit on a chair and stare at a computer monitor all day due to my job, the healing room was truly effective to relieve tiredness and stress from weekdays,” said Park Hye-sun, a 24-year-old officer.

猜測詞義題。分析選知D項符合題意。

【4】Ａ

推理判斷題。第4段“I have to sit on a chair and stare at a computer monitor all day due to my job, the healing room was truly effective to relieve tiredness and stress from weekdays” said Park。根據(jù)Park的說法可知，由于工作原因，我不得不整天坐在椅子上盯著電腦顯示器，這兒是一個真正有效的緩解疲勞和壓力的地方。分析Park可知他覺得有助于緩解疲勞的壓力，對此抱積極的態(tài)度。分析選項可知A項可知A符合題意。

【解析】 本文主要講述一個韓國流行的咖啡連鎖店希林先生，是一個可以休息，享受按摩，可以緩解疲勞和壓力的地方。它提供了韓國人真正需要的服務(wù)

【1】Ｃ

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Mr. Healing, a popular cafe chain… Customers can come in, order a drink, lie down a comfortable massage chair, and take a nap.” 連鎖店希林先生…顧客可以進(jìn)來，點(diǎn)杯飲料，躺在舒服的按摩椅上小睡一會兒。由此可知顧客來這兒是休息的。分析選項可知C是符合題意。

【2】Ｂ

主旨大意題。根據(jù)第三段講述了在這兒休息的過程：一旦想進(jìn)來休息，來到這個中心，首先..然后…結(jié)束后…。由此可知是這兒服務(wù)的過程。分析選項可知B符合題意。

【3】Ｄ

語境既上下文。由于上下文中的生詞不是孤立存在的，其詞義與句中其它詞的詞義或具體的語境有著密切的聯(lián)系。因此在閱讀過程中，許多生詞的詞義可以充分利用上下文中相關(guān)的詞匯，短語并結(jié)合具體的語境來推測。

【解題剖析】此題屬于猜測詞義中的語境猜測。答案需要找After是一個典型的信息提示詞。

【答案定位】根據(jù)第三段“you can choose a massage mode, from “stretch” or “sleep”… After it comes to an end, you are taken back to the cafe area to enjoy a coffee ”分析句意可知你可選擇一種按摩方式，結(jié)束后，帶你去回到咖啡區(qū)享受一杯咖啡。由此可知是按摩之后，可去享受一杯咖啡。此題屬于猜測詞義中的語境猜測。

【推理關(guān)系】題干What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 文章內(nèi)容you can choose a massage mode, from “stretch” or “sleep”… After it comes to an end, you are taken back to the cafe area to enjoy a coffee
