题型:不详难度:来源:
I felt very sad not to be able to get the ticket for the film Titantic last Friday. I learned in the newspaper that ticket could be bought at the cinema box office (售票处) in Richland Hill every day between 10:00 and 4:00. Because I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45-minute lunch time. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round(往返) trip in 45 minute.
Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes, waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip---- so I had to go back to the office. The same thing happened on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for fifty-five minutes. I found that I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and went back across the town.
By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car.it was not cheap,but I felt it would be worth ot to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like one hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But quickly found out that it was because they had already sold all the tickets.
小题1: It seems that the writer of the story works     .

解析
【主旨大意】由于工作地点和交通的不便,“我”为了弄到《泰坦尼克号》的电影票,费劲周折。结果却竹篮打水。
小题1:细节理解题 由第一段“I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45-minute lunch time. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good”可知。
小题1:细节理解题 通读文章可知,星期一、四由于汽车晚点,不能在上班时间赶回来没去成,星期四乘汽车去成,星期五乘小汽车去成。
小题1:推理题 由于“看到售票处无人排队,当然非常高兴”
小题1: 整体理解题 通读文章可知结合第一段可知作者在9:00到5:30上班,二售票的时间是10:00到4:00.。可知在上班前和下班后都不能买到票。
小题1:归纳总结题 由于工作地点和交通的不便,“我”为了弄到《泰坦尼克号》的电影票,第一次到达售票处但排队的人无功而返;第二次到达,却票已售完。因此用Tickets Sold out做文章题目能按时作者的失望心情。

试题【I felt very sad not to be able to get the ticket for the film Titantic last Frid】;主要考察你对日常生活类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
In general, it’s hard to spend enough time in both concentrating on lessons and taking part in social activities. But I wanted to succeed in both. I knew this would be a challenge but I didn’t realize how difficult it was until my classes in the high school began,
I got on well with other girls. After school, I often had ice cream with them first instead of finishing my homework before it was time to hand it in, I always finished it the next day between classes.I knew it wasn’t very good and the grades that I got showed I was not hard-working enough. I realized that I needed to find some kind of balance.
So I created a timetable that would divide my time between studying and relaxing. It was a good idea but I was only able to follow it for a few days because it made me under too much pressure.
Later, I tried another plan. Each week I listed everything that I had to get done during the week and the time by which I had to get it done. Then under the things I had to do, I made another list of things that I could do if I had time.
It worked really well. Ever since I have never missed any important things. At the same time, I enjoyed my spare time a lot.
Planning my time has been challenging, but I continue to do it. I’m glad that I’ve learned to balance things and it has helped prepare for what is coming after graduation.

A. The things she shouldn’t do.         B. The things she had to get done.

Shopping is not as simple as you may think! Much has to be done for the producers before putting the products on the shelf.
Color, for example, changes a lot according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packed in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors.
When some kind of medicine was brought out recently, researchers found that the color of the package(包装) caused the shoppers to lose interest because they made the product look ineffective(无效的). At last, it came on the market in dark blue and white—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
The size of a package can also attract(吸引) a shopper, although quite often a bottle doesn’t hold as much as it appears to.
It is said that the better-known companies spend about 40 percent of the cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The head of Pears Soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to sell their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a talent to sell it.”
小题1: Health foods are usually packed in colors Except ________.

小题2:Why did the shoppers lose interest in the medicine?
A.Because of the size of the product.B.Because of the color of the product.
C.Because of the color of the package.D.Because of the cost of the product.
小题3:If a new product costs $ 60, how much money may be spent on packaging?
A.$ 24B.$ 36C.$ 40D.$ 60
小题4:Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales?
A.The way to sell goods.B.A good product.
C.The one who makes a product.D.A nice color.
小题5:The passage is mainly about ___________on shopping.
A.advantages of productsB.the importance of packaging

You may have heard of the famous saying, "East or West, home is the best. "
What does the word "home" mean to you? How do you say the word in French? In Chinese? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation. It’s not surprising, because the idea of home is "different from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It’s the cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.
Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe, there’s a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it’s more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors.

 What a e features (特征) of homes in your country ?
