22、n, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, aged 4 and 18 months. Having a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents, and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement. But it really doesnt have to be that way, said Anaclerio. Last

23、summer, Anaclerio and her friend Jill Carlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year-old, founded a home party-planning business called A Party in a Basket. Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care

24、 of everything. Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created (制作) 10 ready-to-use home packages. Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket. Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10, Anaclerio said, and theyre

25、very interactive (互動) and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject.

A situation causing difficulty or trouble. D. A demand made by guests. 4. Which of the following is most likely to be a party planner.?解析

29、 1D本題考查考生確定所讀信息性質(zhì)的能力。從短文的最后一個句子可以看出這是 一個廣告或提供服務(wù)信息類的文體。 2A.本題考查考生依據(jù)文中信息判斷推理的能力。解本題可以用排除法。首先看B項(xiàng)：文中只講到他們安排的節(jié)目有“互動性(interactlve)”，用at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses這個例子來說明這一點(diǎn)，但沒有提到在準(zhǔn)備過程中需要客人參與，故排除此項(xiàng)。C項(xiàng)：文中的相關(guān)信息在最后一段：The standardincludes a basket filledand the like。正確的理解為：他

31、rt of party planning，。3C本題考查考生根據(jù)上下文猜詞的能力。與hassle相呼應(yīng)的句子是下文的 it can bea basket of fun關(guān)鍵詞為fun“一次生日聚會不應(yīng)該是做起來很吃力很麻煩的事，而應(yīng)該是很開心的?！県assle與fun應(yīng)該是一對反義詞。 4A本題考查考生根據(jù)文中和畫面信息確定某物性質(zhì)的能力。從畫面看，A幅上有具體的計(jì)劃：有被邀請人的名單，安排的節(jié)目等；B、C為禮物；D項(xiàng)是一張“菜單(menll)”；文章的最后一段中提及planner與gifts，paper goods等都放在籃子里，所以planner不可能再指代gift了；再根據(jù)構(gòu)詞法plann

32、er應(yīng)該與plan有關(guān)，所以A項(xiàng)更符合?？碱}5(NMET 典型例題Cannes will rock to the sound of a cancan dance this year when Moulin Rouge by the Aus- tralian director Baz Luhrmann opens the French film festival (電影節(jié)) in May. The musical stars Nicole Kidman as a singer, and John Leguizamo as the artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

A. a book on film stars B. a film review in a magazine C. a newspaper D. a notice 解析 1A文章第一段的首句介紹的是一部電影，接著介紹人物及所扮演的角色，用as引出。 2BA項(xiàng)中講到Moulin Rouge是這屆法國電影節(jié)的首場展播電影，并非獲頭獎(top priz

Perhaps this explains why Spaniards lead Europe in the habit of going out for a drink.The British attend more adult evening classes than anyone else in Europe, and the Bel- gians least.

56、 So it cant just be the dark evenings. There are no figures on how many Britons go for a drink afterwards.
