【題目】 It is the season for long lines and frayed nerves. Here’s how to deal.

Lighten up

Do yourself a favor and ship your presents. Nearly every U.S. airline charges a fee to check a bag, so shipping gifts is now cheaper and more convenient than carrying them in your luggage.

Weigh your options

Now knowing what you’re going to pay for your luggage is annoying. So calculate your overweight-luggage fees at home. You can find the fees out in advance by visiting new site Luggage Limits, which provides the latest information on more than 90 airlines.

Leave amateurs in the dust

Trust us and get to the airport an extra half-hour early. The check-in and security lines are filled with inexperienced fliers, and it’s a hard walking. Plus, if you decide to cut it close, you may not get onto the flight at all. To reduce costs, airlines have reduced on flights and routes. The remaining flights are more likely to be oversold, especially on busy travel days. Fliers who check in early are the least likely to get bumped from oversold flights.

Take it public

The rates for renting a car at the airport have more than doubled over the past year because rental lot inventories (財(cái)產(chǎn)) have increased dramatically. True, renting at the airport is convenient, but it’s just not worth it anymore. Unless you really need a car, take public transportation, hop a cab, or beg a friend to pick you up at the airport instead.

Say no to bumper cars

Tell the people picking you up to avoid parking their car. They can hang out in their car for free while waiting to get a call from you when you land. Many airports, including JFK and LAX, now feature this sensible choice.

【1】Airlines have reduced flights to .

A.lower the costB.deal with crisis

C.reduce the time for leaveD.provide more job chances

【2】We can learn from the passage that _____.

A.many airports like JFK provides free parking service

B.shipping presents is more expensive than carrying them in luggage

C.taking a cab at the airport is less expensive than renting a car

D.Luggage Limits can give a discount on overweight luggage fees

【3】What’s the best title for the passage?

A.Cars at the AirportB.Good Seasons for Flight

C.How to Board a FlightD.5 Ways to Survive a Holiday Flight.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】D

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章介紹了5種應(yīng)對假日航班緊張忙碌的方法。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Leave amateurs in the dust部分中的To reduce costs， airlines have reduced on flights and routes可知，航空公司減少航班目的是降低成本，故選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Take it public部分中的The rates for renting a car at the airport have more than doubled over the past year和Unless you really need a car， take public transportation， hop a cab， or beg a friend to pick you up at the airport instead.可知，在機(jī)場租車的價(jià)格在過去一年翻了一番，除非你真的需要租車，否則你可以選擇乘坐公共交通工具，搭出租車，或者請求朋友去機(jī)場接你）可知，在機(jī)場坐出租車比租車便宜。故選C。

【3】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第二句Here's how to deal.以及文中五個(gè)小標(biāo)題可知，文章介紹了5種應(yīng)對假日航班緊張忙碌的方法。故選D。

主旨大意題是篇章閱讀一個(gè)主要的考查方式，文章主旨大意題是其一個(gè)典型的考點(diǎn)。主旨大意題解題包括主旨大意題，段落大意題和標(biāo)題判斷類。技巧是不要被文章細(xì)節(jié)所干擾。一般有兩種方式解題：一是看首尾段，根據(jù)首尾段內(nèi)容總結(jié)主題思想；二是看每段段首句，根據(jù)所有段首句總結(jié)主題思想。例如本文中的第3題。這是一篇廣告，根據(jù)文體特點(diǎn)可知，文章首段給出了文章的大意，結(jié)合下文小標(biāo)題，得出相應(yīng)標(biāo)題。文章介紹了5種應(yīng)對假日航班緊張忙碌的方法。故選D。

【題目】 Decision-making can be extremely difficult. Decision-making styles are significantly different in different cultures.

In any approach to a problem and in any negotiations, the Western world turns to the "I to you" approach while Japan, the "you to you" approach. The former means both sides present their arguments openly from their own point of view. Naturally, often comes a confrontation (沖突) situation, which Westerners are very skillful in dealing with. The latter is based on each side trying to understand the other person's point of view. Thus, the direction of the meeting is a mutual (相互的) attempt to reduce confrontation and achieve harmony.

Besides, Western decision-making goes mostly from top management and often does not consult middle management or the worker. However, in Japan great consideration is given to the thoughts and opinions of everyone at all levels. Based on "bottom-up direction", ideas can be created at the lowest levels, travel upward through an organization and have an effect on the final decision.

Difference in decision-making also comes from different communication styles. The Japanese business person works to achieve harmony, even if the deal fails, and will spend whatever time is necessary to determine a "you to you" approach, communicating personal views only indirectly. They put a thorough job above the Western deadline approach. So the Japanese are thorough in their meetings. Thus Americans are often annoyed by the many meetings in many Japanese businesses. But where the American is pressing for a specific decision, the Japanese is trying to think up a rather broad direction.

On the other hand, once a given agreement is made, it is the Japanese who sometimes wonder at the slow pace in which Westerners carry out the decision. The Japanese are eager to move forward and Westerners, perhaps, lag behind as they take the time for in-depth planning.

【1】A Japanese business bases its decision .

A.on top-down directionB.on nothing but its workers' views

C.on bottom-up directionD.only on its top leaders' opinions

【2】The text mainly tells us that Japan and the Western world .

A.face great difficulty in making decisions

B.are different in decision-making styles

C.have all members contribute to a decision

D.have two approaches:"I to you" and "you to I"

【3】Which of the following is TRUE of the Westerners?

A.They carry out the decision once it is made.

B.There are many meetings in their businesses.

C.They work to achieve harmony in doing business.

D.They are good at handling confrontation situation.

【4】The author's attitude towards Japanese decision-making is .

A.positiveB.critical

C.negativeD.casual

【題目】 IKEA (瑞典宜家家具公司) is set to launch (上市) an air-purifying curtain coated with a mineral-based surface that breaks down common pollutants. The surface of the curtain is treated with a photocatalyst (光催化劑) mineral that causes air pollution to break down when light shines through it, allowing users to purify the air in their own homes.

The technology works in a similar way to photosynthesis - the natural process that plants and some other organisms use to change carbon dioxide and water into food, using light.

Developed over several years by IKEA in collaboration with universities across Europe and Asia, the purifying technology works with both natural and artificial light. “For me, it’s important to work on products that solve actual problems and are relevant to people,” explained IKEA product developer Mauricio Affonso. “We are creating an affordable and space-saving air purifying solution that also makes the home more beautiful,” he continued.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has stated that even now, 91 percent of the world's population live in areas where air pollution goes over WHO guideline limits. The effects of poor air kill about seven million people worldwide each year, research by the WHO has found.

“Besides enabling people to breathe better air at home, we hope that the curtain will increase people's awareness of indoor air pollution, inspiring behavioral changes that contribute to a world of clean air,” said IKEA head of sustainability Lena Pripp-Kovac. “It is the first product to use the technology, but the development will give us opportunities for future applications on other textiles (紡織品).”

“We know that there is no single solution to air pollution. We work long term for positive change, to enable people to live healthier lives,” added Pripp-Kovac.

【1】What do we know about the air-purifying curtain?

A.It needs light to work.B.It keeps the pollutants out.

C.It's made from a mineral.D.It works as a photocatalyst.

【2】What did Mauricio Affonso think of the curtain?

A.costlyB.practical

C.power-savingD.obvious

【3】What’s the advantage of the curtain?

A.It helps decrease the world population.B.It purifies the air in the city.

C.It changes people’s bad habits.D.It promotes green lives.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.IKEA's profitable eco curtains.

B.IKEA's plan to decrease air pollution.

C.IKEA's efforts to make a healthier life.

D.IKEA's eco curtains to improve indoor air quality.

【題目】Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

The Voice in the Box

When I was quite young, my family had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood. I remember well the polished the wooden case fastened to the wall on the lower stair landing. But my first personal experience with this genie-in-the-receiver came one day while my mother was visiting a neighbor. Amusing myself at the tool bench, I hurt my finger with a hammer. The pain was terrible, but there didn’t seem to be much use crying, because there was no one home to offer sympathy. I walked around the house, and finally arriving at the stairway. The telephone! Quickly I ran for the footstool and dragged it to the landing. Climbing up, I unhooked the receiver and held it to my ear. “Information Please,” I said into the mouthpiece just above my head.

A click or two, and a small, clear voice spoke into my ear, “Information.”

“I hurt my finger…” I cried into the phone. The tears came readily enough, now that I had an audience.

“Isn’t your mother home?” came the question.

“Nobody’s home but me.” I sobbed.

“Are you bleeding?”

“No,” I replied. “I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts.”

“Can you open your icebox?” she asked. I said I could. “Then break off a little piece of ice and hold it on your finger. That will stop the hurt. Be careful when you use the icepick(冰錐),” she said, “And don’t cry. You’ll be all right.”

After that, I called Information Please for everything. I asked her for help with my geography and she told me where Philadelphia was, and the Orinoco, the romantic river that I was going to explore when I grew up. She helped me with my arithmetic, and she told me that my pet chipmunk----I had caught him in the park just the day before----would eat fruit and nuts.
