Jack Bovill of the Spelling Society，which sponsored (發(fā)起) the research，said the high inaccuracy rates in both countries showed the need for the English spelling system to be modernized.“Wh

A．success B．error C．correctness D．growth 答案　B　[詞義猜測題。根據(jù)本句的“showed the need for the English spelling system to be modernized”，聯(lián)系第二段英美成年人較高

A．most of the Americans can spell correctly B．there are more people having spelling problems C．a(chǎn)dults perform worse in spelling than kids D．it is difficult to creat

9、e a new spelling system 答案　B[推理判斷題。聯(lián)系上一句“When asked，only a quarter of adults thought they had a problem with spelling”可知，Bovill是想說，這項研究表明，實際上很多人都存在拼寫問題。] 3．Professor Baranowski seems to agree that ________. A．spelling should represent the sound of words B．we should learn how English was spoken c

10、enturies ago C．different countries should have different spellings D．sound changes have nothing to do with spelling 答案　A　[推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段Baranowski所說的話可知，他認為拼寫應該表現(xiàn)單詞的發(fā)音。represent意為“表現(xiàn)”，reflect意為“反映”，此處兩者含義一致。] 4．What would be the most suitable title of the passage? A．Who is responsible for our spel

13、n by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door.The words come out in the same tone (腔調) with a fixed procedure.They_are_spoken_at_me，not to me.Obviously，the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business. The expression i

14、s one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other.Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting.As soon as you hear it，you know the meeting is at an end.Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say.“Oh，you just had a tooth out？I'm terribly sorry，but have a nice da

15、y.” The expression can be pleasant.If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you，you may find it heart-warming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you. Although the use of the expression is an insincere，meaningless social custom at times，there is nothing wrong with the sentence ex

16、cept that it is a little uninteresting.The salesgirl，the waitress，the teacher，and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day.But in a strange and comfortable way，it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that

18、a good day. C．Maxie encourages the author to stay happy. D．Maxie really worries about the author's security. 答案　B　[考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段最后兩句可知，作者認為當她的朋友Maxie對她說“Have a nice day”時，Maxie是真心地祝愿作者有美好的一天。] 2．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean? A．The salesgirl is rude. B．The salesgirl is

19、bored. C．The salesgirl cares about me. D．The salesgirl says the words as a routine. 答案　D　[考查句意理解。根據(jù)畫線部分的上下文內容可推知，售貨員用相同的腔調說這句話，這只是她為了增加業(yè)務的例行程序。] 3．By saying “Have a nice day，” a stranger may ________. A．try to be polite to you B．express respect to you C．give his blessing to you D．share his

20、pleasure with you 答案　A　[考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you”可推知，當陌生人對你說這句話時，他是為了讓你感覺他很友好。文中的“to be nice to you”與A項中的“to be polite to you”含義相同，故選A項。] 4．What is the best title of the passage? A．Have a Nice Day—a Social Custom B．Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant Gesture C．Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming Greeting D．Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation 答案　A　[考查主旨大意。本文講的是“Have a nice day”這句話在不同的場合的不同理解。再根據(jù)最后一段第一句可知，A項作為本文標題最合適，其他三項說法片面。] ****************************************************結束 內容總結
