1.The Lost Rules of Etiquette
Etiquette,or good manners,used to be the glue that held society together.(16)DSadly,these days it has mostly gone by the wayside.This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared.
Opening the Door
In days gone by,a gentleman would always open doors for ladies.(17)F This has now almost entirely disappeared----and it is not entirely the fault of the men.I have seen women laugh at men for opening a door for them.They seem to be confusing manners with chauvinism(大男子主义).
Writing Thank-You Notes
In days gone by,whenever a person received a gift,they would write a thank-you note as soon as possible.(18)EParents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thank-you note.It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a thank-you note would be laughed at.
(19)B
We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days.(20)C After all,a party normally has a guest of honor-this is usually the oldest woman present.It was considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honor-and once the guest of honor left,it was a signal to all that they should begin their own preparations to leave.

A.Arriving on Time.
B.Leaving at the Right Time.
C.People leave with various excuses.
D.It enabled people to get on well with each other.
E.This rule was true even if the giver was a relative.
F.It could be the lady they were driving,or a stranger.
G.We've thrown away the concept of a guest of honor at will.

分析 本文是一篇说明文.作者以为女士开门、写感谢条和离开的合适时间为例,说明礼仪规则里一些好的东西已经消失了,并为此感到惋惜和遗憾.

解答 16.D  推理判断题.根据后面的Sadly,these days it has mostly gone by the wayside可知,前面仍在讲礼节礼貌的作用或好处,故选D项,"它让人们愉快地相处".
17.F  推理判断题.根据主题句Opening the door和This has now almost entirely disappeared可知,该空是在讲过去男士为女士开门的,故选F项,"可能是他们的女乘客,也可能是一位陌生的女士",承接前一句进一步说明服务的对象.
18.E   推理判断题.根据Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thank-you note.并结合选项,故选E项,"这项规则甚至适用于亲人之间".
19.B  归纳概括题.由We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days和It was considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honor-and once the guest of honor left可知,该部分是在讲述在聚会的时候,什么时候适合离开,故选B项.
20.C  推理判断题.根据We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days.和后面的after all,a party normally has a guest of honor可知,该空是在陈述为什么说人们没有正确的时间选择概念,故选C项,"他们以各种理由离开".

点评 1.推理判断题:围绕主题句展开话题,同时要结合上下文去选择
2.归纳概括题:把握后面讲述内容的重点,然后进行合理的归纳

3.A group of foreign residents married to Japanese talked about their children's names.
Nicole Despres
Students services manager,40 (American)
We have no intention to live outside Japan so it made sense for the kids to take my Japanese husband's family name.However,we did want to have a Western name too,so all three of them now have both a Western and Japanese name.We agreed there would be no strange names,spelling or unusual kanji(Chinese characters in the Japanese language).All names had to be easy to say and familiar in both Japanese and English.
John McCracken
Company general manager,27(American)
My son's name is Aiden.In part because my wife and I met in university and as she was studying Irish history and I have some links to Scotland and Ireland,I wanted a unique Gaelic(盖尔族的)name.We settled for Aiden as we found kanji that can be used in Japan that means"legendary hero"
Paula Murakami
College women's Association of Japan,53(American)
My husband was very excited about choosing names,so I decided to let him choose.He wanted their first names to be Japanese and camp up with names that included the kanji character in his own name.Our boys,Hiroki and Kenta,never had any problems while living on the U.S.West Coast with Japanese names,and I think both as children and as adults,they love their names.
Jeff Ruiz
Recording engineer,42(Mexican)
My son's name is Lenny.My wife chose it together with me as we were looking for a name that works in both worlds-mine in Mexico,and hers in Japan-and the name Lenny is common everywhere.In Japanese we write the name in katakana as that is easy for Japanese people who seem to like names in two or three characters.

B.Paula has little say in making a decision at home.
C.John's wife is Irish and the couple have only one child.
D.Lenny is a name familiar to Japanese when written the Japanese way.
27.Which would be the best title for the passageC?

8.The day I became a mom was not the day my daughter was born,but seven years later.Up until that day,I had been too busy trying to survive my abusive marriage.I had spent all my energy trying to run a"perfect"home that would pass inspection each evening,and I didn't see that my baby girl had become a child.I'd tried endlessly to please someone who could never be pleased and suddenly realized that the years had slipped by and could never be recaptured(重现).
Oh,I had done the normal"motherly"things,like making sure my daughter got to ballet and tap and gym lessons.I went to all of her recitals and school concerts,parent-teacher conferences and open houses-alone.I ran interference during my husband's anger when something was spilled at the dinner table,telling her,"It will be okay,Honey.Daddy's not really mad at you."I did all I could to protect her from hearing the awful shouting after he returned from a night of drinking.Finally I did the best thing I could do for my daughter and myself:I removed us from the home that wasn't really a home at all.
That day I became a mom was the day my daughter and I were sitting in our new home having a calm,quiet dinner just as I had always wanted for her.We were talking about what she had done in school and suddenly her little hand knocked over the full glass of chocolate milk by her plate.As I watched the white tablecloth and freshly painted white wall become dark brown,I looked at her small face.It was filled with fear,knowing what the outcome of the event would have meant only a week before in her father's presence.When I saw that look on her face and looked at the chocolate milk running down the wall,I simply started laughing.I am sure she thought I was crazy,but then she must have realized that I was thinking,"It's a good thing your father isn't here!"She started laughing with me,and we laughed until we cried.They were tears of joy and peace and were the first of many tears that we cried together.That was the day we knew that we were going to be okay.
Whenever either of us spills something,even now,seventeen years later,she says,"Remember the day I spilled the chocolate milk?I knew that day that you had done the right thing for us,and I will never forget it."
That was the day I really became a mom.I discovered that being a mom isn't only going to ballet,and tap and gym recitals,and attending every school concert and open house.It isn't keeping a spotless house and preparing perfect meals.It certainly isn't pretending things are normal when they are not.For me,being a mom started when I could laugh over spilled milk.

29.According to the writer,C is not the normal"motherly"things.
A.signing up kids for ballet and gym lessons
B.attending parent-teacher conferences
C.protecting kids when they are scolded by the father
D.going to kids'school concerts and open houses
30.The underlined phrase"ran interference"can best be replaced byB.
A.pardoned her    B.covered her   C.pleased her     D.informed her
31.It can be inferred from the passage thatA
A.mum and daughter had led a miserable life before moving out
B.being a mum is not pretending things are normal when they are not
C.the daughter spilled the chocolate milk deliberately in the new home
D.mum and daughter laughed together at the funny paints on the wall
32.According to the passage,when did the writer become a real mom?
C
A.The day she gave birth to her daughter  
B.The day she lost contact with her husband
C.The day she created a relaxing family atmosphere
D.The day she laughed at the spilled chocolate milk.
