In 1994, however, he decided to leave the city restaurant scene and seek a quiet life in the country, where he has been preparing meals on his farm two hours north of Toronto and asks guests to bring their own wine. Not long ago, Stadtlander ①was charged with selling liquor without a license. He said when a guest asked for wine at a dinner in December, he provided two bottles from his private stock. But the customer turned out to be an undercover Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officer who returned a few days later along with four armed officers to seize 83 bottles of wine, and to search the farmhouse for records. The punishment could run as high as 100,000 dollars in fines and a year in jail. ③When Mr. and Mrs. Smith arrived at the farm on a weekend before Christmas, they said that it was their annual celebration and asked if they couldget some wine. Nobuyo, Stadtlander’s wife, told them the policy was that guests provide their own. Given the occasion, though, Stadtlander agreed to provide a bottle of white wine from his own cellar, at cost, as a favor. ⑤Later, Mr. Smith asked for a second bottle and a detailed receipt that included the price of the wine. ③He turned out to be OPP Detective Paul Smith and “his wife,” an assistant who went as a witness. ④“I was shocked,” Nobuyo Stadtlander recalls. “How could they do this to us when we did them a favor? We sold them our wine at our cost.” But Mr.Smith says, “No, they made 1.20 dollars.” Stadtlander is determined to prove his innocence and continue the business. “People who live in the area have been very supportive,” he says.” And when this is over, I want my wine back.”3.1.14.0Stadtlander was accused because ___.∙ a he offered too much wine for a guest∙ b he asked guests to bring their own wine∙ c he charged too much for the wine offered∙ d he sold wine to his guests without a license核心词be accused=be charged with3.1.24.0In the 1980s, Stadtlander ___.∙ a threw his original restaurant menu into the fire∙ b made his restaurant well-known around the world∙ c sought for a quiet life in the central part of the city∙ d opened one restaurant after another home and abroad找到核心词1980s3.1.34.0It turned out that Mr. and Mrs. Smith were ___.∙ a two farmers∙ b two witnesses∙ c husband and wife∙ d police officers找到核心词，这两个人的姓名3.1.44.0Nobuyo Stadtlander claimed that in the wine case they made ___.∙ a 1.20 dollars∙ b no money∙ c 100,000 dollars∙ d a lot of money找到核心人名3.1.54.0Which of the following could be used as evidence against Stadtlander?∙ a What Stadtlander’s wife said.∙ b The second bottle of wine.∙ c The records from the farmhouse.∙ d A receipt with the wine price.找出细节，倒数第三段说明答案答案：3.2 20.0A recent study shows that sixteen out of every 100 American couples have violentconfrontations of one sort or another during the course of a year. ①In six of these cases there is severe kicking, biting, punching or hitting with objects. Almost four of every 100 wives are seriously beaten by their husbands. Three of every 100 children are kicked or punched by their parents. More than a third of all brothers and sisters severely attack each other. As expected, the incidence of violence is highest among the urban poor (many of them minorities), blue-collar workers, people under 30 or without religious beliefs, families with a husband who is jobless and those with four to six children. ②But the study also showed that violence occurs among wealthy families as well. Indeed, the wife of a university president once quietly called Straus, one of the sociologists who conducted the study, to ask what she could do about her husband, who often beat her. Straus suggested seeking assistance from marriage advisors. Straus and his colleagues found out that there are various root causes that give rise to such behavior. “The reasons are mixed-psychological, sociological, situational,” says Straus. “The husband, for example, may feel under particular stress because he has been out of work too long. Violence may also be an echo of the past”, Straus explains. “When Mummy gives her two-year-old a slap(巴掌) for putting something dirty in his mouth, he is learning from infancy that those who love you hit you.” Another reason may be the worsening economic situations.③“If we have a real economic decline, it’s going to get worse,” says Gelles,one of Straus’ colleagues. These sociologists have no easy answer to violence in the American family. While they welcome such move as the opening of shelters for beaten wives and the establishment of a National Center for Child Abuse and Neglect, they believe that there must be more basic attack on violence, including the reduction of “macho”(大男子主义的) themes on the television, the outlawing of physical punishment in schools and perhaps even the elimination of death sentences.As Straus explains, “⑤Violence is an acceptable solution to problems in American society. And that is how it is used in families.”3.2.14.0Which of the following statements is true?∙ a More than a third of brothers attack sisters in American families.∙ b Almost four percent of husbands are seriously beaten by their wives.∙ c Six out of one hundred couples experience severe domestic violence.∙ d Six percent of American couples have some kind of domestic violence.从第一段中可以发现答案3.2.24.0The example concerning a university president’s wife shows that ___.∙ a domestic violence is found in well-to-do families as well∙ b the incidence of violence is highest among urban families∙ c marriage advisors’ assistance is the best solution to violence∙ d domestic violence exists regardless of age, race, and social status找到对核心词university president’s wife的陈述，并读懂之前的例子3.2.34.0What Gelles says shows that ___.∙ a violence is responsible for the decline of economy∙ b violence may be a reflection of one’s past experience∙ c violence is related to the economic situation of the time∙ d violence is the best form of emotional release for a husband找到这个人说的话3.2.44.0The word “outlawing” in line 5 of the last paragraph means ___.∙ a making something illegal∙ b freeing someone from prison∙ c learning something from law∙ d throwing someone out of court词汇辨析3.2.54.0According to the sociologists, it is impossible to curb domestic violence unless ___.∙ a more shelters for beaten wives are opened∙ b children are protected by a National Center∙ c violence is not accepted as a solution to problems∙ d Americans get tougher with violent behaviors从本文最后一句话可得答案答案：3.3 20.0Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all thefeatures that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted. We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone's personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others. ④Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone's personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. if you were asked to describe what a nice face looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth. There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon all ports, an American psychologist, found nearly 18 000 English words characterizing differences in people's behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality.Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.People have always tried to type each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain's（坏人）or the hero's role.In fact, the words person and personality come from the Latin persona, meaning mask.Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.3.3.14.0The main idea of this passage is___.∙ a how to distinguish people’s faces∙ b how to describe people’s personality∙ c how to distinguish people both inward and outward∙ d how to differ good persons from bad persons从第一、二自然段中可获得信息3.3.24.0The author is most probably a ___.∙ a behaviorist∙ b psychologist∙ c writer∙ d sociologist从第三个自然段可获取信息3.3.34.0Which of the following is NOT true?∙ a Different people may have different personalities.∙ b People differ from each in appearance.∙ c People can learn to recognize faces.∙ d People can describe all the features of others.综合前面几个自然段可得相关信息3.3.44.0The reason why it is easier to describe a person's personality in words than his face is that___.∙ a a person’s face is more complex than his personality∙ b a person’s personality is easily distinguished∙ c people’s personalities are very alike∙ d many words are available when people try to describe one’s personality找到核心词easier to…3.3.54.0We learn from the passage that people classify a person into certain type according to___.∙ a his way of acting and thinking∙ b his way of speaking and behaving∙ c his learning and behavior∙ d his physical appearance and his personality对总体描述的总结。
