解析
试题分析：本文通过我在餐馆就餐的经历，说明了人们应该尽情享受“生活”。
小题1::根据本句前面部分的描写可知天气十分炎热，空气“静止不动”。still“静止的；不动的”，此处表示无风。A和B明显错误，因为是在a hot summer day，温度是Over a hundred degrees。炎热和空气稀薄是没有关系的，所以D也不对。故选C。
小题2::在这种闷热的天气下，游客和服务员自然很容易发脾气。前三项的主语一般都是“人”而此句的主语是tempers，所以只有D项正确。特别注意联系下一句to meet the situation,making it a rather quarrelsome environment(环境)，故选D。
小题3:根据对他们的动作描写可知二人“穿着讲究”。倒数第三段也提供了暗示。故选C。
小题4:根据前面的叙述可知作者在咖啡馆中，而他们的餐桌紧挨着作者，由此可推断他们在等待服务员的“服务”，故选B。
小题5: 根据本句后面的“...to place the table in the sea water”可知他们把“餐桌”放到了海水中。下文也有进一步的描写，故选A。
小题6:他们就坐的地方紧挨着海水，所以他们把桌子抬“离”这个地方并放到水中。文中第一段“...at a waterfront cafe...”也表明他们的位置靠近水面，故选B。
小题7:他们共同把桌子抬到水中后，男士又走“回来”取椅子，故选D。
小题8:他礼貌地请女士“坐在”膝深的海水中。本句后面的“...and then sat down himself”也是暗示。故选B。
小题9::根据后面的描写Minutes later he returned carrying a bottle of wine and two glasses.可知其身份是“服务员”。故选C。
小题10:set the table表示“摆放桌子”。而remove the table是“搬走桌子”。上文可以看出，桌子已经在水中了，不用再搬。从下文看，桌子也没有被搬出去。故选A。
小题11:take ones order,服务员让这对夫妇“点菜”。名词menu“菜单”，事实上还没有为他们的服务，那么顾客从哪儿拿来的菜单呢？关键是这也不符合英语表达习惯。故选D。
小题12:根据上一段最后一句All people around laughed and cheered.可以看出那个场面很热闹，判断A项正确。故选A。
小题13:注意这里是the rest of his,根据上下文联系，服务员的服务对象是“顾客”。倒数第二段也提供了暗示。C项既不符合清理(服务员不可能在上班期间聚在一起看热闹)，也不符合上下文内容。A项和前面的his所暗示的情景不吻合，因此不可选。故选B。
小题14:上文提到他已经进入水中一次所以应该是“再次”走进水中，故选C。
小题15:服务员的本职工作是给客人“服务”，所以排除其余三项。动词serve的意思为“上菜、上酒”等，故选D。
小题16:根据The couple toasted(祝酒) each other,the waiter and the crowd.可以看出其他人(the waiter and the crow)是作出了“回应”，在场的人显然对他们产生了浓厚的兴趣，所以用欢呼和投掷鲜花的方式“回答”他们，故选A。
小题17:另外三个餐桌的客人也效仿这对夫妇，“加入”了他们的行列。C项表示“清偿；了结”，与所给语境不符，故选B。
小题18:作者显然是在质疑：在如此炎热的天气中为什么不在“海水中”为顾客服务呢？故选C。
小题19:上文提到的那对夫妇“打破”常规，将餐桌搬到了海水中，与此处相呼应。前两项意思基本相同，应排除。故选D。
小题20:此处是文章主题的升华呼吁人们应该尽情享受“生活”。后三项只是文章提到的部分内容，因此不可选，故选A。
点评：答题前一定要略读全文，把握文章要表达的主题，注意前后句与句，段落与段落之间的关系。答题中，一定要认真分析，注意选项与上下文的关系，与前后单词的关系。对于一时没有太大的把握的题可以放到最后再来完成，因为有时答案可以从下文内容体现出来。答完后再通读一遍文章，看看所选选项能不能是语句通顺，语意连贯。
核心考点
试题【On a hot summer day in late August, I sought shade and a cool drink at a waterfr】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
The prolonged dry season in tropical areas usually causes a lot of losses. It will be very harmful to local farmers, because most of the tropical areas sre regions of the developing countries. Sometimes agricultural and plantation crops will be damaged because of so much dry land and the fact that the river used to flow the water for rice fields are also dry. Rain is very important for plants because rain contains many nutrients that plants are in great need of.
What’s more, if the prolonged rainy season arrives and then floods usually occur in certain areas of low lands. Even for the capital city of Jakarta floods have struck several times during the prolonged rainy season. In addition to floods, the rainy season can cause many diseases. During the dry season, diseases are usually caused by mosquitoes such as dengue fever. While in the rainy season, people who have the weak immune will be more easily attacked by some diseases such as flu, fever, diarrhea, and much more.
If you live in the other places and want to travel to the tropical regions, make sure that you have known much about the season and the effect for these months in which you want to travel as tourists. Only in that way, can you at least prepare to deal with tropical weather.

A patent gives you the right to an invention. The patent protects its owner, which means the invention can’t be copied or sold without their agreement. In exchange, the owner must reveal information about the invention. This contributes knowledge that helps other inventors improve on their own research. A patent usually lasts about 20 years.
The first step to getting a patent is the application. The person applying must name the invention, explain its use and describe it clearly. The invention must be practical and contain some new characteristic — something that hasn’t been seen or used before. But not everything “new” can be patented. Many countries don’t allow patents on things like new concepts, scientific theories, medical procedures or substances already found in nature.
You may not be able to see patents, but they’re connected to nearly everything. There are patents on things you use every day, like plastic, medicine and your computer. There are patents on things that are unavailable on the market, too. Apple is well-known for its patents on potential products, such as the “iBike” or the “iKey”.
Of course there are also patents on inventions like this. Take the anti-eating face mask for example. This device locks around your head with a metal cage covering your mouth. You can breathe and speak, but you can’t eat!
Although many patented inventions can be failures, there’s plenty of room for success. So if you have a cool invention, try to patent it.
小题1:Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
| A．A patent can last for around 20 years. |
| B．Everything new can be patented. |
| C．Your invention is protected after you have applied for a patent. |
| D．Some patents are on the things that we use every day. |
| A．a popular product | B．a mere new concept |
| C．a famous brand in the world | D．a practical bike on the market |
| A．weapon | B．medicine | C．equipment | D．strength |
| A．advertise | B．persuade | C．warn | D．inform |
I was six when I joined my father and two elder brothers at sunrise in the fields of Eufaula. Okla. 36 the time I was eight I was helping Dad fix up old furniture. He gave me a cent for every nail I 37 out of old boards.
I got my first 38 job, at JM’s Restaurant in town, when I was 12. My main responsibilities (职责) were 39 tables and washing dishes, 40 sometimes I helped cook.
Every day after school I would 41 to JM’s and work until ten. Even on Saturdays I 42 from two until eleven. At that age it was difficult going to work and 43 my friends run off to swim or play. I didn’t necessarily like work, but I loved what working
44 me to have. Because of my 45 I was always the one buying when my friends and I went to the local Taste Freeze. This made me 46 .
Word that I was trustworthy and hard-working 47 around town. A local clothing store offered me credit (赊帐) 48 I was only in seventh grade. I immediately 49 a $68 sports coat and a $22 pair of shoes. I was 50 only 65 cents an hour, and I already owed(欠) the storekeeper $90! So I learned 51 the danger of easy credit. I paid it 52 as soon as I could.
My first job taught me self-control, responsibility and brought me a 53 of personal satisfaction few of my friends had experienced. As my father, 54 worked three jobs, once told me, “If you 55 sacrifice (奉献) and responsibility, there are not many things in life you can’t have.”How right he was.
