Lily: I’ve been going to Pie House for twenty years. Now Marie’s son is taking care of the business, and he makes pies as good as his mother’s. I enjoy my stay there as before. My family also like the pies. We feel relaxed while staying there.
◇◇◇
Olive: I went to Pie Corner once. Their pies were great, too. But I feel more comfortable at Pie House. I am used to the taste there, which makes me feel happy. I’m really a fan of Pie House.
◇◇◇
Ned: Uncle Roy used to work for my mom. Later he opened Pie Corner on the next block after he got married. At the beginning, it’s not easy for him, but it is becoming more and more popular especially among young people. They think Pie Corner can often give them a surprise.
◇◇◇
Marie: Roy was already quite avant-garde when working with me. I mean he had different, sometimes even strange, ideas about pies. There were times I thought his pies wouldn’t taste good, but they turned out magically delicious. He is really creative and can always make new pies, which attract many people.
◇◇◇
Lee: Ned has done quite well with Pie House. His pies make you feel warm. But if you want to try something interesting, you should go to Pie Corner.
◇◇◇
Chuck: The two pie shops are really different from each other. If eating Roy’s pies is like taking an exciting trip, then Ned’s pies are just like a sweet home you go back to after a long trip. Which one to go to depends on what you like.

答案
小题1:C
小题2:A
小题3:A
解析
试题分析:这篇文章讲的是六个人在电视节目上谈论两家馅饼店的情况,他们都分别对着两家店做出评价和给出了自己的观点。
小题1:推理判断题。根据文中Marie说的话: Roy was already quite avant-garde when working with me.以及Lee说的话:Ned has done quite well with Pie House.可以知道Marie和Roy一起工作,Ned也开了一家馅饼店,故选C。
小题2:推理判断题。根据文中原句I’ve been going to Pie House for twenty years. Now Marie’s son is taking care of the business,(我一直去Pie House20年了,现在Marie的儿子照看生意。)可知Pie House是家族生意,故选 A。
小题3:词义猜测题。根据文中提示I mean he had different, sometimes even strange, ideas about pies.(我的意思是他有不同的,有时甚至奇怪的关于馅饼的想法。)所以‘avant-garde 的意思是A。

After visiting the Beijing Normal School, Madame Peng took Sasha and Malia, my mother, and me to the Forbidden City, which is right in the heart of Beijing.
For more than 2,000 years (up until 1912), China was ruled by emperors who descended (传递)from many different dynasties, or families, who passed ruling positions on from generation to generation — and for nearly 500 years, the Forbidden City used as the emperor’s home.
Like the name suggests, the Forbidden City is large enough to be a city of its own — it includes nearly 1,000 buildings and nearly 10,000 rooms.
In 1925, the new Chinese government turned the Forbidden City into a museum so that visitors like us from all over the world can stroll (闲逛) through many of the beautiful rooms and outdoor spaces.
The Forbidden City is too large to fully experience in a single visit, but highlights include the following: The Hall of Union and Peace has almost 14,000 ornamental dragons. The Hall of Supreme Harmony is where the emperor(皇帝) watched birthday celebrations and coronation (加冕) ceremonies from his Dragon Throne. And then there are the Imperial Gardens, where you can walk along the paths and pavilions, admiring the beautiful rock arrangements, flowers and cypress (柏树) trees.
While we loved our visit to the Forbidden City, we only wish we had more time to see everything. But then again, I’m not sure there could ever be enough time to fully enjoy all of the art and history in this wonderful place.
小题1:The writer visited The Forbidden City with _______.
A.her daughters |
B.her husband |
C.her mother |
D.her mother and two daughters |
A.city | B.palace | C.village | D.garden |
A.a museum |
B.the emperor’s short-lived home |
C.a place of interest for public |
D.the emperor’s home |
A.景观亮点 | B.聚光灯 | C.光亮 | D.最大的部分 |
A.They had enough time to visit every room |
B.The Forbidden City was used as a museum till 1925 |
C.The first lady enjoyed all of the art and history in this wonderful place |
D.There are more than 1,000 buildings and less than 10,000 rooms |
Survey: What’s your favorite restaurant? | |
Lola Lopez | Jim Janssen |
“I’m an actress. There’s a small French restaurant near my apartment. It’s my favorite. The service is great. The food is always cooked well and served beautifully. And the atmosphere is very romantic…” | “I’m a high school student. I’m interested in fast food. Chicken, burgers, fish, French fries — I love it all. My mom says I should eat healthier food but it tastes so good! Also, I’m not rich and the price of fast food is just right for me.” |
Gina Mangino | Raul Sanchez |
“I’m a housewife. With three kids, I look for a place that has good food at a reasonable price. I look for a place that’s comfortable for children and serves the food quickly. That’s why I like Sam’s Chinese restaurant.” | “I’m a doctor. I can’t remember the last time I ate out… maybe that’s because my wife and I really like to cook. Instead of eating out, we look through a cookbook and cook at home.” |
A.an actress | B.a doctor | C.a student | D.a housewife |
A.Lola Lopez | B.Jim Janssen | C.Gina Mangino | D.Raul Sanchez |

The Rubber Duck exhibition was designed by Dutch artist, Florentijn Hofman. It was part of the activities of Beijing Design Week, which ran from September 26 to October 3 in 2013.
The Rubber Duck stayed in the park until September 23, then moved to the Summer Palace, a famous Beijing tourist spot, where it was on display until October 26.
The duck is made of over 200 pieces of rubber. It was guarded not only by staff, but also by 10 volunteers wearing yellow T-shirts and hats with a rubber duck logo.
Sun Yidong, a volunteer who guided visitors to the duck, said the art brought energy to the traditional Chinese park.
“Seeing the giant Rubber Duck makes me feel like I’m a kid again.” Sun said.
Because of the rain on Friday, there were not too many people coming to see it. The Expo workers said they expected more people to come and visit the duck on weekends.
Zhao Yan said she had been following news about the duck since 2007, when the duck began its journey.
“I even considered going to Hong Kong to see it. It’s great that the duck is in Beijing,” Zhao said.
Before arriving in Beijing, the Rubber Duck traveled to 13 cities in nine countries. “The aim of the Rubber Duck is simply to bring everyone back to their childhood again,” said Zeng Hui, a leader of the Beijing Design Week Organizing Committee Office. “It can be a toy for adults.”

A Friend Helps You When You’re Sick
Dogs | When Catherine lay down on the sofa, Pepe stared(盯) into her eyes and kept sniffing(嗅). After being pushed away, he suddenly jumped onto her chest.

It seemed strange, but sure enough, Catherine’s cancer had spread. |

Not only does Tee warn Alana, but also her husband. Then the cat stays with Alana until she recovers. |
