11.Mr.Black was the manager of a hotel in Atlanta.One weekend all of the hotels were full because of a large business meeting being held in the city.On Sunday night,three men came into Mr.Black's hotel and asked for rooms.Mr.Black told them that there were no more rooms available.The men didn't know what to do because they had no place to stay in.
Mr.Black wanted to help them.He remembered that there was an empty room at the far end of the first floor-Room 112.It was a very small room,and had rarely been used as a guest room before.So,he asked the three men if they would mind sharing that small room.They replied that they would be very satisfied so long as there was a room for them to stay in for the night.
Mr.Black then told them that the room would cost them 30dollars in total.On hearing this,each of the three men gave Mr.Black 10dollars before they left for their room.
However,Mr.Black soon began to think that 30dollars was really too much for that small room.He called his assistant over and said,"Here is 5dollars.Give it back to the three men in Room 112.Each of them paid me 10dollars.That's too much."
The assistant took the money.While he was on the way to that small room,he thought,"How can three men divide 5dollars?I'll give each of them only 1 and keep the 2 left to myself.The men will be happy to get anything back,and I can also make some money that way.After all,Mr.Black will never know anything about it."So,the assistant returned only 1 to each of the three men.
Each man had first paid 10dollars.After the assistant returned 1 to him,each man had actually paid only 9.There were three men.9×3=27.The assistant kept 27+2=29.Where is the missing dollar?

25.Why didn't Mr.Black offer Room 112 to the three men at first?B
A.The key had been lost.
B.It was too small for three men.
C.No one had stayed there before.
D.It was not bright enough.
26.How much did Mr.Black first ask each man for the room?C
A.30.
B.15.
C.10.D.9.
27.How were the manager and his assistant in behavior?A
A.The manager was honest but the assistant was not.
B.The manager worked hard,but the assistant was lazy.
C.The assistant was clever but the manager was not.
D.The manager did not know how to make money,but the assistant did.
28.Where is the missing dollar?D
A.The three men took it.
B.The manager hid it secretly.
C.The assistant kept it.
D.There is no missing dollar.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了經理幫助三位客人住宿誠實的將多余的錢退還卻被助手私自扣下了一部分的故事.

解答 25.B.推理判斷題.根據文章第二段"It was a very small room,and had rarely been used as a guest room before"這是一個很小的房間,和很少被用作客房之前;可知布萊克先生不先給三個男人提供房間112是因為它太小了;故選B.
26.C.細節(jié)理解題.根據文章第三段"Mr.Black then told them that the room would cost them 30dollars in total"布萊克接著告訴他們,房間會花費他們30dollars總數;可知沒人需付10美元;故選C.
27.A.推理判斷題.通讀全文,根據文章第四段第五段可知經理認為他們付的錢太多而還回去了,而助手 私自扣下來一筆錢,可知經理誠實而助手不是;故選A.
28.D.細節(jié)理解題.根據文章最后一段"After the assistant returned 1 to him,each man had actually paid only 9.There were three men.9×3=27.The assistant kept 27+2=29"可知這種算法是錯誤的;并沒有錢丟失事實上;故選D.

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

One other thing the brothers did agree on was that they wanted a pet.Mom had resisted getting one,but after both brothers had begged,she finally agreed."We can get a pet,as long as you two take care of it,"she said.That means you do the feeding,you do the training,and if it needs to be walked,you do the walking."No problem,Mom,"Ishmael and Isadore said together."Good,we all agree,"Mom said."Now,what kind of pet are we going to get?"

20.A new study has found that it may be possible to train people to be more intelligent (聰明的),increasing the brainpower they had at birth.
Until now,it has been widely supposed that the kind of mental ability that allows us to solve new problems without having any relevant (相關的) former experience-what psychologists (心理學家) call fluid intelligence-is innate and cannot be taught (though people can raise their grades on tests of it by practicing).
But in the new study,researchers describe a method for improving this skill,along with experiments to prove it works.
The key,researchers found,was carefully structured training in working memory-the kind that allows memorization of a telephone number just long enough to dial it.This type of memory is closely related to fluid intelligence,so the researchers reasoned that improving it might lead to improvements in fluid intelligence.
First they measured fluid intelligence of volunteers using standard tests.Then they trained each in a complicated memory task-the child's card game,in which they had to recall a card they saw and heard.During the course,they needed to ignore irrelevant items,monitor ongoing performance,manage two tasks at the same time and connect related items to one another in space and time.
The four groups experienced a half-hour of training daily for 8,12,17and 19days,separately.To make sure they were not just improving their test-taking skills,the researchers compared them with control groups that took the tests without the training.
The results,published Monday in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,were striking.Improvement in the trained groups was a lot greater.Moreover,the longer they trained,the higher their scores were.All performers,from the weakest to the strongest,showed great improvement.
"Our results show you can increase your intelligence with proper training."said Dr Jaeggi,a co-author of the paper."No one knows how long the gains will last after training stops,"he added,"and the experiment's design did not allow the researchers to determine whether more training would continue to produce further gains."

53.The researchers thought the key to improving the intelligence wasB.
A.memorizing telephone numbers
B.improving working memory
C.training in attention
D.recalling a card
54.Which of the following training ways help increase intelligence?D
a.ignoring irrelevant items
b.monitoring ongoing performance
c.making connections
d.working in groups
A.a,b,d.   B.b,c,d.   C.a,c,d.   D.a,b,c.
55.When the experiment was conducted,the researchersC.
A.trained the four groups for the same period of time
B.trained the four groups at different time of the day
C.compared the four groups with control groups
D.trained the four groups together
56.By writing the article,the writer wants toA.
A.inform the readers of a new study
B.call on people to be trained to increase intelligence
C.tell people the improved intelligence will last forever
D.say the more one is trained,the more one's born intelligence improves.
