题文

An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have lunch with him, you may say something like this, “I’m afraid it’ll have to be someplace cheap, as I have little money.” The other person may say, “OK, I’ll meet you at McDonald’s.” This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say, “Oh, no, I want to take you to lunch at Smith’s,” or “I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there. They are great.” This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this person, you can go with him and you needn’t pay for the meal. You may just say, “Thank you. That would be very nice.” American custom(风俗) about who pays for dates(约会) are much the same as in other parts of the world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But, today, a university girl or a woman in business world will usually pay her way during the date. If a man asks her for a dance outside the working hours, it means “Come, as my guest(客人).” So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make the question clear at the very beginning. 小题1:The passage mainly tells us ________. A．how to eat out B．where to eat out C．what to eat out D．who pays for the meal in different situation 小题2:The underlined phrase “go Dutch” in this passage means “________” in Chinese. A．去订餐 B．共同就餐 C．去饭店 D．各自付款 小题3:Sometimes your friend takes you to lunch. It means _________.

A．ask men to pay for their clothes B．try to pay for their own meals C．never have anything outside D．try to pay for the men’s meals 小题5:We can infer(推断) if a man asks a woman for a dance outside the working hours _________.

政治经济类阅读

考点名称：政治经济类阅读

• 政治经济类阅读：
  该类文章时代气息浓郁，语言鲜活，但熟字新义词、超纲词及专业词语多，长句、难句多。
  政治类文章大多数是同学们感性趣的内容，读起来倒有似曾相识的感觉，经济类文章读起来就像是雾里看花，文章看完，一头雾水。
  再加之这类文章的命题侧重于词义猜测、推理判断和文章主旨，同学们对这类题材是望而生畏。
  

• 政治经济类阅读注意：
  1、要做好这类阅读，平时就要注意了解国内外发生的政治经济大事，掌握一定背景知识；
  2、对这类文章的叙述特点及内容安排有一定了解，还要扩展这方面的词汇；
  3、阅读这类文章，要抓住文章的核心，即文章整体和各段主要在说什么，也要注意段落之间的逻辑关系。

  政治经济类阅读技巧：
  针对不同体裁的文章，我们要采取相应的阅读方法和技巧。政治类文章多采用记叙文形式，我们可采取“顺读法”，以便抓关键语句，领会文章主旨；而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式，我们则可以采取“逆读法”，先读试题，再从文章中查找有用信息。若遇到的确难读的材料。
  1. 寻找主干：
  根据英语中五种基本句型结构，把句子中的主语、谓语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来，其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则易于理解。找到了句子主干，句子的意思至少明白了一半。
  2. 剔除从句：
  在一个长句中可能会出现若干个从句，在理解时，如果把各个从句剔除出来单独理解，然后把大意拼凑起来，整个长句的意思就会明白六、七分。
  3. 辨别分句：
  一个长句如果是由几个并列、转折、递进、对比关系的分句组成，句中往往有表示这些分句关系的连接词，只要能弄清楚分句和分句之间的逻辑关系，再把各层分句的意思加以连贯，整个长句的句意基本上能跃然脑中。
  4. 寻找关键词：
  如果一个句子看完，一点句意的感觉也没有，下下策就是抓住句中的关键词，通过关键词大体弄懂这个长句的意思。
