1.Thebesttitleofthepassageshouldbe_______

A.ThanksgivingforBushandObamaB.ThanksgivingDay

C.HowtocelebrateThanksgivingDayD.ThanksgivingDayforpresidents

答案解析:答案为A。本题考查文章的标题。全文报道了即将卸任的总统Bush和新选举的总统Obama各自在感恩节做的事情。故答案为A。

2.Theunderlinedword“squeeze”inparagraph2isclosestto_______A.forceB.pushC.joinD.take答案解析:答案为C。本题为词义猜测题。结合下文的第三段“Onaholidaydesignedforreflection,oneman,historicallyunpopular,isheadingtoaremotemountaintopwithhisfamily.Theother,promisingchange,issurroundinghimselfwithdozensofpeopleinabusycity.”可知,“oneman”指的是第一段提到的PresidentGeorgeBush,他和家人一起要去遥远的山顶;“Theother”指的是第二段提到的President-electBarackObama,他在繁忙的城市中,周围都是人。可以推断,第二段写的是新选举的总统Obama加入了圣诞节的购物潮中,因此squeeze意思最接近“join”,故答案为C。3.WhichofthefollowingisNOTrightaccordingtothepassge?A.Bushisthoughthighlyofbythepeopleinthearticle.B.Bush’sdaughtersare27yearsoldnow.

C.Obamavisitedsomeofthepeoplewhoneededhelp.

D.Bushgavethankstotroopsandvolunteers,toteachersandpastors,toalltheAmericanpeople.

答案解析:答案为A。本题为细节题。由第三段“Onaholidaydesignedforreflection,oneman,historicallyunpopular,isheadingtoaremotemountaintopwithhisfamily.”可知,“oneman”在历史上不受欢迎,结合上题的分析,“oneman”指的是Bush,因此A选项“文中人们对Bush评价很高”错误,故答案为A。

第九段写的是Bush,由文中“Hegavethankstotroopsandvolunteers,toteachersandpastors,toalltheAmericanpeople.Thenhegavethanksforhiswifeandtwindaughters—‘twoThanksgivingmiracleswhowewereblessedwith27yearsago’?”可知,B、D选项符合文意。由第四段“DressedcasuallyinaleatherjacketandblackscarfonWednesday,ObamahandedoutfoodtotheneedyataChicagochurch?”可知,C选项符合文意。4.Thepassagesuggeststhat_______

AIt’satraditionforaUSpresidenttospareaturkeyonThanksgivingDay.

BOnThanksgivingDay,Obamamainlyhasaget-togetherwithhisfamilyandfriends.

CObamaaskedhistwodaughterstomakecontributiontotheUSeconomy.DBushthinksitahonourandalsoapitytobetheUSpresident.答案解析:答案为A。本题为细节推理题,解答此题可用排除法。由第十一段

“ThisThanksgiving,Obamausedtheopportunityforarelativelyrarepubliceventwithhiswifeandchildren,Sasha,7,andMalia,10—andachanceforalittlelessonforthekids.”可知,Obama利用这个机会和妻子孩子团聚,没有和朋友一起,故B选项错误。C、D选项未提。因此只有选择A选项“对于美国总统来说感恩节放飞火鸡是一种传统”,文中第八段提到“ForBush,hisfinalThanksgivinginofficeisprovingatimefornostalgia.HealwaysreflectsabitatThanksgiving,buthewentfurtherashesparedtheThanksgivingturkey,"Pumpkin,"onWednesday.”由此可知,A选项是正确的。

B

1.ThebillingagencysentJoeRyananoticeto_______.A.playajokeonhimformedicaltreatmentB.informhimofthepaymentforhissurgery

C.correctthemistakesaboutpaymentforhissurgeryD.clearupthewronginformationinhismedicalrecord答案解析:答案为B。本题为细节题。由第一段“InMarch,JoeRyangotanoticefromabillingagencyforahospitalnearDenver,Colorado.Thehospitalwantedpaymentforsurgerytotaling$41,188.”可知,thebillingagency通知JoeRyan支付手术费用41,188美元,故答案为B。2.JoeRyanatfirstthoughthisproblemwas_________.A.easytosettleB.difficulttosettleC.impossibletosolveD.unnecessarytosolve答案解析:答案为A。本题为细节推理题。由第二段“Hefiguredclearingthisupwouldtakeajustfewphonecalls.”可知,JoeRyan刚开始认为只要打几个电话就可以解决问题,故答案为A。

3.ThenumberofmedicalidentitytheftcasesintheUnitedStatesis_______.

A.increasingB.decreasingC.countableD.changeable答案解析:答案为A。本题为细节题。由第四段首句“JoeRyanwasthevictimofalittle-knownbutfrighteningtypeofconsumercheatingthatisontherise:medicalidentitytheft?”可知,医疗身份盗窃在美国正在增加,故答案为A。

4.AnevenworseconsequenceofmedicalIDtheftis________.A.sometroubleinobtaininginsurancepaymentB.abiglossofmoneyanddamagetocreditratingC.thewidelyspreadmedicalinformationofthevictimD.thedifficultyinchangingthewrongmedicalhistory

答案解析:答案为C。本题为推理题。由第五段可知,当别人盗用了你的名字来享受医疗服务后,他的医疗史就成为了你的医疗史,并且清除这些错误记录极其困难,因为你的信息已经给了许多照料者,包括医生、药店、保险公司和实验室。因此,医疗身份盗窃更糟糕的结果是受害者的医疗信息到处传播。故答案为C。干扰项最强的D选项“改变错误的医疗史非常困难”只是医疗身份盗窃的一个直接结果,但不是更糟糕的,因此排除D选项。
