A lot of people don’t want to talk about their age,especially(尤其是)women over 30.The thought of grow—ing older is a painful(痛苦的)one and most of US,if possible,would like to have nothing to do with it.However,
getting older is a thing that happens to all of US.As a result,many people work hard to keep young.So the last thing they want is for someone to ask the question,“How old are you?”
People may answer this question like: “How old do you think I am?”“30 something.I’m in my thirties.
Let’S just leave it at that.…‘I Can’t remember.…‘Oh.don’t ask me that.…‘A lot older than what l would like to be.”
However,if you really want to know someone ’S age,this is how you could find out the answer.First you esti—mate(估計)their age.Then you subtract(減去)ten years from that estimation.Certainly you will get a big smile from that person who will also say,“Wow.You are my best friend.I’m 38 already.Can you believe it?”You.of
course.say.“N0.I really Call’t.You’re joking.You don’t look a day over 28.”

1、The announcement is made ________
A.during the flight
B.before taking off
C.after taking Off
答案及解析
B【解析】題干意為:這條通知是…時候播出的?在通知播出快要結(jié)束的時候,乘客們會聽到這樣一句話:“Would you UOW please fasten your seat belts to get ready for take—off?”這句話的意思是:請乘客們系好座位上的安全帶,飛機準備起飛了。
2、People are asked ________
A.to read the book Safety in Flight
B.to find out where they can smoke
C.to buy something during the flight
參考解析:A【解析】題干意為:人們被要求…。通知一開始就提到了“Safety in Flight”即《乘機安全》一書。通知提醒乘客:“You will find the book in the pocket at the back of the seat in front of you and we ask you to read it.”通知明確要求乘客閱讀此書。另外,通知明確告訴乘客可以在哪些地方吸煙,不可能讓乘客自己去找吸煙的地方,所以B是錯誤的。通知告訴乘客在哪里可以購買食品、飲料,卻沒有要求乘客必須購買這些東兩,所以C也不正確。
3、Can people smoke in the plane?
A.No, they can' t.
B.Yes, but only in some areas of the plane.
C.Yes, but only in the cabin.
參考解析:B【解析】題干意為:乘客可以在飛機里吸煙嗎?通知中提到:“You can smoke on the left—hand side of the passenger cabin,once the signs...”也就是當(dāng)機艙前面的信號燈關(guān)閉時,乘客可以在乘機室左側(cè)吸煙。這說明乘客可以吸煙,但只能在某些區(qū)域內(nèi)吸煙。c提到的“機艙”范同過大,是錯誤的。
________
4、People in the plane can________
A.have a good sleep
B.have some small gifts
C.buy some duty-free things
參考解析:C【解析】題干意為:飛機上的人可以…。通知中提到:“We have a duty—free bar on the plane and cigarettes,beer and mineral water will be on sale during the flight.”既然飛機上有免稅酒吧,那里面銷售的香煙、飲料等一定是免稅的。乘坐飛機的人可以買一些免稅的東西。A和B的內(nèi)容均未在通知中提及。
5、We learn from the text that________
A.the passengers will have a morning flight
B.they will have meals during the flight
C.the plane is going to fly across a mountain
參考解析:A【解析】題干意為:從文章中,我們得知…。通知第一句:“Good morning,ladies and gentlemen.”即準確無疑地傳達出這樣的信息:這架飛機將在早上飛行。

參考解析:B【題型】細節(jié)題

)
4、It' s impossible for you to know a stranger' s age.
A.Right
B.Wrong

5、Only your best friends will tell you that you look young.

B.Wrong
