13.Pisco is a city on the Peruvian coast,the home of Peruvian grape liquor(酒) Pisco has not only given its name to Peru's national drink,but it is also the centre of its production.
Pisco has its origins in the 16th-century Spanish conquests(征服) of Latin America and particularly Peru and Chile.There the settlers found fertile land suitable for growing grapes.These vineyards(葡萄園) were so successful that soon the settlers were exporting crops back to Europe.
At first,grapes not suitable for making wines were distilled(蒸餾,提取) into a drink,and it soon became popular with sailors who began taking bottles with them back to Europe.They named it after the town where it was bought,Pisco,which in turn had been used to name the round pot that was used to store the liquor.
In the 19th century Pisco became a popular drink with the miners who flooded to San Francisco during the Gold Rush,and in the 1940s it again became a fashionable drink in New York and Hollywood.Production gradually spread from Peru to Chile.
However,Pisco is also the topic of heated arguments between Peru and Chile,both of which claim to have invented it.They may fight bitterly over who first distilled the drink,but the rules and regulations they have placed on its production have ensured that only top quality Pisco hits the liquor store shelves.
Nowadays,Pisco is produced using both ancient and modern techniques and can be enjoyed in its pure form or used to prepare various cocktails,such as the well-known"Pisco Sour".This is served in the best restaurants in Latin America and throughout the world.It can also be mixed with other liqueurs,fruit juice or soft drinks.The main markets for Pisco are currently the United States,Chile,Costa Rica,Venezuela and Canada.

45.It can be learned from the passage that Pisco refers to the following exceptB.
A.a(chǎn) city  B.a(chǎn) sailor  C.a(chǎn) pot  D.a(chǎn) drink
46.The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph impliesC.
A.Peru and Chile has been fighting for the American market of Pisco
B.It makes no difference who has invented Pisco as long as it is popular
C.Both Peru and Chile have set strict production rules to produce a quality drink
D.Pisco is produced using both ancient and modern techniques from two countries
47.What's the best title for this passage?A
A.An Introduction to Pisco  B.The Production of Pisco
C.The Origin of Pisco       D.A History Lesson of Pisco.

分析 本文主要講述了皮斯科城市的酒的歷史發(fā)展.皮斯科是一座秘魯海岸城市,起源于16世紀(jì)的西班牙征服的拉丁美洲,其中特別是秘魯和智利.這里的定居者把種植成功的葡萄出口,然后開始了對葡萄釀造成酒的技術(shù)的探索并獲得了成功.如今,皮斯科生產(chǎn)用古代和現(xiàn)代技術(shù),釀造了多種廣受歡迎的酒品,并有了穩(wěn)定的對外市場.

解答 45.B 推理判斷題.從第一段:Pisco is a city on the Peruvian coast,the home of Peruvian grape liquor(酒) Pisco has not only given its name to Peru's national drink."皮斯科是一個秘魯海岸城市,是秘魯葡萄酒的家鄉(xiāng).皮斯科不僅給了它秘魯國酒的稱號,"因此可排除A項,從第三段可知,Pisco,which in turn had been used to name the round pot that was used to store the liquor.皮斯科,進而被用于命名存儲液體的圓罐酒.可排除C項.從文章總體可知,皮斯科城市和酒有關(guān),因此排除D項.故選B.                                    
 46. C 句意理解題.此句意為:他們關(guān)于誰第一次蒸餾出飲料的斗爭激烈,但在生產(chǎn)上的規(guī)則確保了只有高質(zhì)量的皮斯科酒才能被放到商店的酒架上.題中C選項.秘魯和智利設(shè)立嚴(yán)格的生產(chǎn)制度來生產(chǎn)高質(zhì)量的飲料.與文意基本相符,故選C.        
47.A 標(biāo)題判斷題.文章主要是圍繞Pisco展開的,并通過對皮斯科的酒的改革來詳細介紹了它的歷史發(fā)展和現(xiàn)況.故選A.

點評 本題考查學(xué)生把握全文主題和理解中心思想的能力.同時在文章中找到相關(guān)的細節(jié),回答對應(yīng)的題目,對文章有整體的把握.

18.Nobody likes an old poop(傻子).Developing a sense of humor is part of becoming a mature,emotionally healthy individual.Laughter is good for the soul,builds friendships and relieves stress.It serves as the glue for social situations and as an ice-breaker for sadness and boredom.If you've ever been told to"lighten up"or"chill out",you should save the blue attitude for serious situations and develop your sense of humor.
Forgive the accidental.A sudden fall is humorous not because we like to see people fall,but because it surprises.From a spilled(溢出)water glass in a meeting to Aunt Rae's teeth coming off in the Thanksgiving turkey,the embarrassment of accidents can be relieved by humor and a helping hand.After making sure that nobody's hurt,forgive accidents with a chuckle(咯咯地笑)rather than a scolding.

5.When you want to find a job,you have to face the employer and you must know how to
introduce yourself well.Then you will be lucky enough.
The first impressions can play a major role in how an employer like you as a candidate(求職者).What you say during the first step of the interview may make a big difference.In fact,some hiring managers may make a decision to refuse a candidate based on what they didn't do when you met them.That's why it's important to pay attention to interview manners and to carefully think through how you will introduce yourself during a job interview.

Many hiring managers will start an interview with an open-ended question like"Tell me about yourself."Your response should focus on the key elements in your background.You should carefully analyze the job first to the interviewer,and you can point out the interests,skills,experiences,and personal qualities.
Your introduction should be brief enough to hold the interest of the interviewer so that you can move on to the next question.Your goal is to connect personally with the interviewer as well as to show that you're qualified for the job.Of course,your comments should show your enthusiasm for the job and organization.However,don't overdo it and don't spend too much time talking about yourself.

China’s very first airplane restaurant recently opened in Wuhan, China. Named “Lilly Airways”, the restaurant is located in the cabin area of an old Boeing 737 passenger airplane.

Businessman Li Liang acquired the aircraft from Indonesian airline Batavia Air, but then he had to go through six mouths of exhausting custom(海關(guān))procedures in order to get the aircraft into China.” Demounting(拆卸), port, shipping, business license, trade declaration…All these procedures were never done by anybody before, which means I had to go through them one by one,” Li said.

Getting the plane split into parts that then had to be packed in around 70 containers and shipped many times apparently cost the businessman a great 3 million yuan. Add that to the 5 million yuan, he paid for the plane itself and you have one of the most expensive restaurants in the world.

After finally setting up the airplane restaurant on the Optics Valley Pedestrian Street, one of the busiest shopping areas of Wuhan, Li is ready to welcome curious diners and airplane enthusiasts. The restaurant is located in the cabin area of the airplane, and the cockpit(駕駛艙)has been changed into a flying simulator(模擬器)where people will be able to experience what it’s like to fly a passenger airplane.

Li said that a dinner at Lilly Airways is priced between 200 to 300 yuan per person, while the cockpit flying simulation will charge a flight enthusiast 300 to 400 yuan per hour. Li expects that it will be a while before this place turns a profit.
