Question

閱讀理解

　　For a small town, Manhattan ,Kansas has some big surprises, And one of them is the Holiday Inn Hotel, with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly family atmosphere.

　　The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party or a night out. A lot of them choose to eat in the brightly-lit restaurant near the pool. And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years.

　　Ellen, like most of the waitresses is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, but she's planning one day to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn.

　　Ellen soon learns what every waitress finds out. You had better have a good pair of shoes. She paid forty-five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. She's discovered something else, too. You don't have to know much about food be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.

　　“A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan,” she explains. “They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Then there are people who can't make up their minds. They look down at the menu and say ‘What do you suggest! So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say‘ Not very,’ I suggest the salad bar with soup, salad, bread, and a fruit plate. But if they say they're very hungry, I suggest a Kansas Strip Steak, with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well. It's very nice. Real good value.”

　　Ellen may get tired feet sometimes, but at least she's learning too much about people. She'll probably make a good animal doctor, but if she finds she doesn't like it after all, she can always become a psychiatrist (心理醫(yī)生) instead.

Answer 1

答案：A;A;D;B;D
解析：

(1) A 本文主角是女學生Ellen，事件是她在Holiday Inn做part-time job，對照四個選項可以看出，A項為最佳選項.B、C兩項沒有論及主人公，顯然不對.D項的題目沒有體現(xiàn)本文主旨，也不對. (2) A a veterinary surgeon 這個詞出現(xiàn)在第三自然段第二句可見to care for small animals即為a veterinary surgeon的工作，所以答案為A. (3) D 文中只是說到like most of the waitresses，而不是all,所以A項不對.B項中required一詞用得不準確.這只是經(jīng)驗，而不是要求，所以B項也不對.C項更加不對，文中有原句You don't have to know much about food to be a good waitress…D項是正確的.文中有…but you do have to know a lot about people． (4) B 四個選項中，由第一段知A項準確C項正確D項正確.B項不準確.第五段第二句中的you不是泛指，而是特指waitress，所以應選B. (5) D A項的except couples不對，第一段的列舉中提到了couples，文中只是說They just want to be left alone，并沒有說不需要deal with.B項不對，問題出在except the place where it lies.第一段中說到with rooms built around a swimming pool，怎么能說位置不好呢?C項不符合第六段首句.D項正確，與文章第五段相符.
