I've had too many disappointing meals and paid too much money ‎ for them! At one point, fed up with my complaint, a friend suggested I open my own restaurant. Impossible, I thought. But then I heard about supper clubs...”‎ Supper clubs are a mixture of a restaurant and a dinner party — you go to a stranger’s house and he/she cooks dinner for you. Like a restaurant, you pay for your food, but like a dinner party, you eat at the same table as other people. They are advertised through social-networking sites with a menu and little information about where the supper club is until just before the meal.‎ ‎“It’s like running a secret restaurant for one night,” says Cassie. “The next morning, I set the tables and chairs aside. I put the TV back and it’s my living room again.”‎ Cassie opens her “restaurant” for people about once a month, and she really enjoys the evenings she’s had so far. She uses fresh, local ingredients and a typical meal costs about the same as a takeaway — much less than a restaurant meal. So how does she make money out of it?‎ ‎“I don’t,” says Cassie. “In fact, at first I was worried about losing money on my club. I’m good at cooking but my maths is terrible! But I was surprised by how cheaply I could make a good meal. This isn’t about money. It’s about a different eating experience.”‎ And what about inviting complete strangers into her house? Was Cassie ever nervous about that?‎ ‎“Not at all,” she says. “Almost everyone at the supper club is just interested in having a good meal with other interesting people.”‎ ‎24. Why did Cassie decide to open her own restaurant finally?‎ A. To earn a living. B. To satisfy her friend’s needs.‎ C. To make friends with strangers. D. To cook cheap and good meals for others.‎ ‎25. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. Dinner parties. B. Supper clubs. ‎ C. Fresh ingredients. D. Invitations to dinner.‎ ‎26. We can know that Cassie’s restaurant .‎ A. serves meals for free B. only serves takeaways C. is only open to her friends D. is only open in the evening ‎27. How does Cassie feel about her restaurant now?‎ A. Worried. B. Content. C. Annoyed. D. Sensitive.‎ C The full moon climbs over the eastern horizon (地平线) and hangs like a huge orange globe in the sky. A few hours later, the moon is overhead but seems to have changed. The huge orange globe has become a small silver disk. What has happened? Why has the orange color disappeared? Why does the moon seem so much smaller and farther away now that it is overhead?‎ The moon appears orange on the horizon because we view it through the dust of the atmosphere. The overhead moon does not really shrink as it moves away from the horizon. Our eyes inform us that the overhead moon is farther away. But in this position the moon is actually closer to our eyes than when it is near the horizon.‎ The change in size is a trick our eyes and minds play on us. When the moon is low in the sky, we can compare its size with familiar objects. It is easy to see that the moon is much larger than trees or buildings, for example. When the moon is high in the sky, however, it is hard to compare it with objects on earth. Compared to the vastness of the sky, the moon seems small.‎ There is another reason why the moon seems to shrink. We are used to staring at objects straight ahead of us. When an object is difficult to see, our eyes have to try to focus on it. When we move our heads back to look up, we will try hard again. Looking at something from an unaccustomed position can fool you into believing an object is smaller or farther away than it is. However, scientists do not yet understand completely why the moon seems to shrink as it rises in the sky.‎ ‎28. What makes us puzzled when the moon is high in the sky?‎ A. It looks different. B. It becomes large.‎ C. Its color disappears. D. Its shape changes.‎ ‎29. What really happens when the moon floats farther away from the horizon?‎ A. It turns orange. B. It comes nearer.‎ C. It goes farther. D. It gets through dust.‎ ‎30. What does the author intend to suggest by mentioning trees and buildings in Para. 3?‎ A. They are low on earth. B. They are large objects.‎ C. They can affect our judgment. D. They can attract our attention.‎ ‎31. What can we infer from the text?‎ A. The size of the moon often changes. B. We do not see the moon as it really is.‎ C. The moon is beginning to shrink much. D. The moon is in fact a huge orange globe.‎ D Americans recognize that there is a past on which the present rests. But they have not developed their sense of the depth of time as much as this has been done in the Middle East and South Asia. The Arab looks back two to six thousand years for his own origins. History is used as the basis for almost any modem action. The chances are that an Arab won’ start a talk or a speech or analyze a problem without first developing the historical aspects of his subject. The American assumes that time has depths but he seldom stresses its importance of it.‎ The American never questions the fact that time should be planned and future events should be fitted into a schedule. He thinks that people should look forward to the future and not talk too much on the past. His future is not very far ahead of him. Results must be obtained in the foreseeable future — one or two years or, at the most, five or ten. Promises to meet deadlines and appointments are taken very seriously. There is real punishment for being late and for not keeping commitments in time. The American thinks it is natural to calculate the value of time. To fail to do so is unthinkable. The American calculates how much time is required to do everything. “I’ll be there in ten minutes.” “It will take six months to finish that job.” “I was in the Army for four and a half years.”‎ The Americans, like so many other people, also use time as a link that chains events together. If one event occurs on the heels of another, we will certainly try to find a causal relationship between them. If A is seen around the area of B's murder shortly after the crime has been committed we automatically form a connection between A and B. However, events which are separated by too much time are difficult for us to connect in our minds. This makes it almost impossible for us as a nation to engage (从事) in long-range planning.‎ ‎32. How do Americans see past time according to the first paragraph?‎ A. It’s valueless. B. It’s limited. C. It reflects today. D. It helps start a talk.‎ ‎33. What does the underlined phrase “to do so” in paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. To calculate the value of the past. B. To plan a schedule for future events.‎ C. To figure out the importance of time. D. To meet deadlines and appointments.‎ ‎34. When will Americans chain two events together?‎ A. When common evidence is found. B. When the two events happen one by one.‎ C. When A is found near the scene of B’s crime. D. When one event happens long after another.‎ ‎35. What does the author mainly want to tell Americans to do?‎ A. See time further. B. Make a long-range plan.‎ C. Remember the past time. D. Keep their commitments.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为 多余选项。‎ Whether you are at Disneyland or another Disney park, you will usually find a nighttime show that will be showing. 36 Read this article to find out how you can get a good seat for an evening event at any Disney park.‎ ‎ ● Plan on seeing this show in advance.‎ Usually, if you decide an hour beforehand that you're going to see a show, you will likely end up not getting a good seat, unless the park is not very busy. 37 ‎ ‎● Do your research.‎ Research online: "The best places to view…” 38 Some of them may even be less known, so you may not deal with such a big crowd.‎ ‎● Arrive to the event early.‎ ‎39 Possibly even earlier if the park is more crowded on that day.

Stay in the same area.‎ B. Enjoy the show with a friend.‎ C. It's usually much more enjoyable if you can get a good spot.‎ D. This is especially important if you arrive closer to the event time.‎ E.
