9.Delia was a young pianist.Her husband Joe was a talented young painter.They lived in a small flat in New York.
Each of them was taking lessons-Joe with a famous art teacher,and Delia with a great pianist from Germany.They were the best teachers,so lessons were expensive,more than they could really afford,but …when you love your art,nothing's too much.
But soon,the money began to run out and they couldn't afford the lessons any more.
Then one day Delia came home and told Joe that she had met a man.The man's daughter,Sally,wanted to learn the piano-and he was going to pay her 50 an hour."Delia,"Joe said,"I'd be much happier if you
kept up your lessons."Delia said that it didn't matter.She said,"When I've made some money,I'll start again.When you love your art,nothing's too much."A few days later,Joe came home and proudly took200 from his pocket."I met a man from Vermont,"he said,"who bought one of my paintings.And he wants to buy more!"
Then,one day,Joe came home and saw that Delia's hand was burned.He asked her what had happened."Oh,"said Delia."My student,Sally,asked me to pour some coffee for her.So I did-and I dropped the coffee and burned my hand."
Joe sat down and told Delia to sit down too."Delia,what have you been doing the last two weeks?"he asked.She took a deep breath and started to cry."Oh Joe-I couldn't get any students so I got a job in a coffee shop.And today I burned my hand with hot water.So I can't work any more.I'm sorry,Joe-but 
we'll still have money from the man in Vermont,won't we?"
Joe looked at her."There's no man in Vermont,"he said."I haven't sold any paintings.I've been working in a drugstore (药店),and today someone came from the coffee shop to buy cream for a woman who'd burned her hand.So when I saw you-well,I guessed."
They both laughed."So we've told each other lies,"said Joe."But when you love your art..,"
Delia put her fingers to his lips (嘴唇)."No,Joe,"she said,"just‘When you love…'"

31.How did Joe most probably feel when he first knew about Delia's plan?C
A.Proud but a bit afraid.
B.Excited but a bit angry.

B.When you love someone,you can t tell lies.

分析 文章大意:这是一篇人物故事类阅读,迪莉娅是个年轻的钢琴家.她的丈夫,乔,是一个年轻的艺术家.两人深爱着对方及自己喜欢的艺术.但是不久之后,他们钱用完了.于是迪莉娅告诉丈夫,有人请她教孩子钢琴,每小时付给50美元;乔也给妻子说,有人买了他的画,付给他200美元.最后,当他们发现妻子其实是在饭店当服务生,丈夫其实是在药店上班时,他们都含着泪笑了.

解答 31.答案:C.细节理解题.根据第八行He asked her what had happened.他问她发生了什么事.及倒数第三行today someone came from the coffee shop to buy cream for a woman who'd burned her hand.So when I saw you-well,I guessed."今天有人从咖啡店给一个烫伤的女人买药膏,所以当我看到你的时候,我猜到了.可知,他知道妻子在咖啡店打工而不是给人上课,又因为咖啡烫伤了她的手,所以他应该是好奇的但有点伤心.选C.
32.答案:D.细节理解题.妻子骗丈夫去给人上课挣钱,其实是去咖啡店打工.丈夫骗妻子卖画挣钱,其实是在药店打工,妻子烫伤了自己的手,但他们都为地方考虑,因此最后妻子想要说"当你爱一个人,没有什么大不了".选D.
33.答案:B.细节理解题.根据最后一行Delia put her fingers to his lips (嘴唇)."No,Joe,"she said,"just‘When you love…'"迪莉娅把她的手指放在他的嘴唇上,"不,乔,"她说,"只是你的爱…".可知,当他们发现妻子其实是在饭店当服务生,丈夫其实是在药店上班时,他们都用善意的谎言欺骗着对方,其实是爱的表达,因此这对夫妻"满满的都是爱".选B.

4.Do you know when restaurants were invented?The first restaurant were invented thousands of years ago.However,they were very different from restaurants today.
The first restaurants were in ancient Greece and ancient Rome.These restaurants served food in large stone bowls people didn't order food from a menu.Everyone used to share the food from big bowls.People believe that these places were very popular because most homes in ancient Greece and Rome did not have kitchens.Also,people didn't have to store food at home if they ate their meals at these restaurants.
Later,restaurant began to open in China.In the early 1100s,more than one million people lived in the city of Hangzhou,China.It was a very busy city,and people had money.All of these people had to eat.Smart cooks started cooking and selling food along the Imperial Way,a very big street in the city.Unlike in ancient Greece and Rome,people in China could choose food from a menu.They didn't have to eat the same food as everyone else.
For the next several centuries,there were restaurants all over the world.People could buy food on the street or at inns--small hotels.Then in the middle of the 1700s,restaurants started opening in Paris.These restaurants were more similar to restaurants we know today.There was a bigger variety of food,and eating in these restaurants was a more enjoyable experience.In the 19th century,trains made travel much faster and simpler.In the end,this kind of restaurant began to appear all over Europe and in other parts of the world.
Now,restaurants are everywhere.You can buy a variety of different kinds of food.You can have food sent to your door.But remember it wasn't always like that.
27.It is believed that these first restaurants were popular becauseD.
A.people could eat different food
B.the food there was very cheap
C.people were too busy to cook
D.most homes didn't have kitchens

A.They offer menus to customers.
B.They usually served the same food
C.They sold the food in large stone bowls
D.They prepared food for all people in the city
29.The underlined part"these restaurants"in Paragraph 4meansC.
A.restaurants in ancient Greece and ancient Rome
B.restaurants in Hangzhou in the early 1100s
C.restaurants in Paris in the middle of the 1700s
D.restaurants all over Europe in the 19th century
30.The author wrote this article toB.

C.encourage us to eat at restaurants
