.阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Only after the straight-talking repairman handed me the bill and waved goodbye did I finally acknowledge the painful truth:Our 20-year-old clothes dryer was not going to last.
I turned to my husband.“He says we’re throwing good money after bad,” I sighed.“I think he’s right.”
“When do you want to go shopping for a new one?” my husband asked.
I glanced out of the window,appreciating the sunlight dancing on the big-leaf maples in our backyard.Perfect drying weather.Suddenly,I recalled my mother hanging laundry on a clothesline during my childhood.My sister and I had played hide-and-seek among the sweet-smelling sheets waving in the wind.
I suddenly had a plan.After the wash cycle,we covered the maples with damp blue jeans,shirts,socks and towels.The only things that didn’t go outside were my underpants.And I persuaded my shameless husband to let his big boxer shorts(男式平角短裤)stay indoors,too.
There is a secret pleasure to hanging laundry outdoors.It is the perfect excuse to get up from the computer.While checking on the laundry in the backyard,I could commune(亲近)not only with cotton T-shirts,but also my cats.I could watch cautious deer run through the yard with their young,listen to nervous squirrels in trees and observe a family of wild turkeys by the road.I returned to my desk refreshed.
And,except for the sandpaper feel of sun-dried bath towels,the drying method was a complete success.When autumn came,I’d scan the horizon each day to evaluate the chances of sun-drying.One morning I saw rain clouds.I had a load of wet clothes in my arms and no place to put them.
I found my husband.Together we hung laundry throughout the house.
Then my husband gave me a hug and a smile.“I think it’s time to buy a dryer...” he said,“...like,today.”
“Good idea,” I said,just as the infamous Oregon rain started.
Our sun-dried laundry habit was finished for the season.
1.Why did the author want to try sun-drying?
a.Her husband insisted.
b.She wanted to cut expenses.
c.Their dryer wasn’t working.
d.She had good childhood memories of using a clothesline.
A.bc B.cd
C.acd D.bcd
解析:细节归纳题。从文章第一段可知烘干机坏掉了,从下文中“Suddenly,I recalled my mother hanging laundry...among the sweet-smelling sheets waving in the wind.”可知作者童年对晾衣绳有很美好的回忆,所以cd正确,选择B项。
答案:B
2.What could the straight-talking repairman have said to the author?
A.“Your clothes-dryer is too old and I can’t find matching parts for it.”
B.“You should have taken better care of your dryer.”
C.“Your dryer is too old to repair.You are wasting your money on it.”
D.“Just buy a new dryer,even if it’s very expensive.”
解析:句意理解题。本题考查的是对“He says we’re throwing good money after bad”这句话的理解,throw good money after bad的意思是“想补偿损失反而损失更大(填无底洞)”。所以选择C项。
答案:C
3.What was the biggest benefit that sun-drying brought to the author besides dry clothes?
A.She loves sun-dried bath towels.
B.She felt healthier and closer to nature.
C.She could bathe in the sunshine,too.
D.It gave her a break from her hard work.
解析:推理判断题。从文中可知作者认为她可以借此机会远离电脑,亲近猫和其他各种小动物,所以选择B项。
答案:B
4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?
A.The author has stopped sun-drying since autumn started.
B.The author later became fed up with the trouble of hanging up her clothes.
C.The author listened to weather reports every day when autumn came.
D.The author realized sun-drying was seasonal and thus had its disadvantages.
解析:推理判断题。从文中可知,秋天到来的时候,作者每天都会看天气是否合适晾衣服可知作者还在晾衣服,并且并没有厌烦,所以A、B项错误。作者是自己看天气而并非听天气预报,所以C项错误。
答案:D
B
5.What can you expect from the Maple Leaf Model?
A.Top professors from around the world.
B.Studying in overseas high schools.
C.The development of both Chinese and English language skills.
D.Living and working in an international environment.
解析:细节理解题。由第二条“English and Chinese language skill development with certified ESL and CSL instructors”可知选C项。由本句可知A选项不对,阅读全文可知项目是在国内的学校进行,所以B选项不对,由“preparing students to meet the challenges of living and working in an internationally diverse society”可知,D选项不对。
答案:C
6.Which of the following is NOT suggested as a way of contact?
A.Calling 4006556877.
B.Contacting the offices in different cities.
C.E-mailing international@mapleleaf.net.cn.

7.From the advertisement,we can conclude that the Maple Leaf Model of International Education now has .
A.7 branches in China
B.8 branches in China
C.9 branches in China
