The United States: Flies may want to have their tickets in hand before catching their planes, but the airline companies are doing everything they can to bring forward cost-saving tick- etless flight-no paper needed, just a ticket number and a photo II) (带照片的身分证). Any- one who buys a Northwest E-ticket through the airline's computer service by June 16 will get an award (奖励). Next time you fly, you can buy another ticket for a friend for $ 99, going any- where in the US or Canada through Fed. 12, 典型例题long with the lowest ticker prices. Some airlines offer extra frequent flier miles for the ticketless crowd. And there are rising punishments for paper lovers. Americans, Northwest, United, and last week, US Airways have raised the cost for lost ticket replacement (替换) to $ 70 from either $ 70 from either $ 60 or $ 50. The airlines insist that the increase in price is not meant to push travelers toward E-tickets but only covers the increasing cost of replacing and tracking a missing ticket.
1. Why is the new ticketless flight introduced?
A. It is cheaper for air travelers.
B. It helps reduce the cost for airlines.
C. h can use computer to plan air traveling.
D. h helps prevent fliers from losing their tickets.
2. To encourage people to take ticketless flights, the airlines
A. sell their tickets for $ 99 from June to February the following year
B. let travelers go to both the US and Canada with the same tickets
C. allow each traveler to have an extra $ 99 ticket for a friend of theirs
D. offer ticketless travelers free miles to fly in the US
3. Who are the paper lovers mentioned in the text?
A. People who like to have paper airplane tickets.
B. People who love paper products of various kinds.
C. People who travel with paper on a plane.
D. People who have lost their ticket and buy a second one.
4. The airline companies say that they have raised the lost-ticket replacement price in order to
A. attract travelers to take ticketless flights
B. punish those who insist on using paper tickets
C. do better than other airline companies
D. pay for the work to deal with lost tickets
[解析]
1．B．参考the airline companies are doing everything they can bring forward cost-saving ticketless flight，从这句话来看，无票飞行能节约钱。
2．C．选项D错的原因是：①向无票乘客提供短途(miles)免费游是部分航空公司的
举措，不是所有航空公司所为。②只对常客提供这种免费游，不是对任何乘客。
3．A．这里的paper lovers指喜欢持票乘机的人。
4．D．虽然文章中有这样一句话And there are rising punishments for paper lovers，但这不是航空公司所说的话，惩罚持票者也不是航空公司的目的，故不选B。文章的最后一句话说出了机票挂失提价的真正目的，也就是为了填补因为挂失而查找失票所造成的花费，这与选项D一致。

3．A．本题考查考生根据信息推断人物职业的能力。在本篇的最后一个介绍文中，提到Sue Townsend's musical play，based on her best-selling book (Sue Townsend的音乐剧，是以她的那本畅销书改编的)，由此推断她是个作家，而非actress(女演员)；musician(音乐家)，也不是director(导演)。
[考题 4]（NMET 典型例题
A child's birthday party doesn't have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, aged 4 and 18 months.
"Having a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents, and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement. But it really doesn't have to be that way," said Anaclerio. Last summer, Anaclerio and her friend Jill Carlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year-old, founded a home party-planning business called "A Party in a Basket." Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care of everything.
Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created (制作) 10 ready-to-use home packages. Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket.
"Our parties are aimed for children 2 to 10,' Anaclerio said, "and they're very interactive (互动) and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject. For example, at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream cre- ations. '
The standard $ 200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with invitations, gifts, games and prizes, paper goods, a party planner and the like. For more information, call Anaclerio at 708 -864 -6584 or Carlisle at 708 -205 -9141.
1. The main purpose of writing this text is .
A. to share infomation about party planning.
B. to introduce the joys of a birthday party.
C. to announce a business plan.
D. to sell a service
2. The most important idea behind the kind of party planning described here is that
A. it brings parents and children closer together
B. guests play a part in the preparation of a party
C. parents are spared the trouble of sending invitations
D. it provides a subject of conversation
3. What does the underlined word "hassle" (Paragraph 1) probably mean?
A. A party designed by specialists.
B. A demand made by guests.
C. A situation causing difficulty or trouble.
D. A demand made by guests.
4. Which of the following is most likely to be a party planner.?

[解析]
1．D．本题考查考生确定所读信息性质的能力。从短文的最后一个句子可以看出这是 一个广告或提供服务信息类的文体。
2．A.本题考查考生依据文中信息判断推理的能力。解本题可以用排除法。首先看B项：文中只讲到他们安排的节目有“互动性(interactlve)”，用at the Soda Shoppe party the guests become waiters and waitresses这个例子来说明这一点，但没有提到在准备过程中需要客人参与，故排除此项。C项：文中的相关信息在最后一段：The standard．．．includes a basket filled．．．and the like。正确的理解为：他们提供的服务都放在一只篮子里。里面有请帖、礼物……和有关的东西。这只篮子is delivered to the home，但没有说发放请帖也是他们的事，故父母还不能免做此事，因此排除此项答案。D项中的subiecl of conversation也是没有依据的。文中只提到they build a sense of drama based on a subject(他们要制造出一种围绕某个主题的刺激的效果来)，没有提到conversation。A项的相关支撑信息在文章的第二段：Fheir goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning，．．．。
3．C．本题考查考生根据上下文猜词的能力。与hassle相呼应的句子是下文的 it can be a basket of fun．关键词为fun．“一次生日聚会不应该是做起来很吃力很麻烦的事，而应该是很开心的。”hassle与fun应该是一对反义词。
4．A．本题考查考生根据文中和画面信息确定某物性质的能力。从画面看，A幅上有具体的计划：有被邀请人的名单，安排的节目等；B、C为礼物；D项是一张“菜单(menll)”；文章的最后一段中提及planner与gifts，paper goods等都放在篮子里，所以planner不可能再指代gift了；再根据构词法planner应该与plan有关，所以A项更符合。
[考题5](NMET 典型例题 ■Cannes will rock to the sound of a cancan dance this year when Moulin Rouge by the Aus- tralian director Baz Luhrmann opens the French film festival (电影节) in May. The musical stars Nicole Kidman as a singer, and John Leguizamo as the artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. It will be competing for the Palme d'Or, the festival's top prize. The festival runs to May 21.
■ The American actor Tonmmy Lee Jones, 54, has married his longtime girlfriend, Dawn Maria Laurel, 36, in a private wedding in San Antonio. "It wasn't a big to-do," said Fred Biery, a U.S. District Judge who performed the service. He refused to discuss things further. "These are very private people," he said.
Loretta Lynn is being treated for a very bad cold in Tennessee and will miss several appear- ances. The country singer, 65, was admitted to a hospital near her home in Hurricane Mills. "She is in good condition, but the doctors are watching her closely," a spokeswoman said.
■ The French-Algerian singer Enrico Macias was named a United Nations peace messenger. Enrico joins eight other people who act as goodwill envoys (使者) for the United Nations, among them are the writer Elie Wiesel and the basketball player Magic Johnson.

2. We know from the text that .
A. Moulin Rouge won the top prize in a film festival

3. This text most probably appears in .
A. a book on film stars B. a film review in a magazine
C. a newspaper D. a notice
[解析]
1．A．文章第一段的首句介绍的是一部电影，接着介绍人物及所扮演的角色，用as引出。
2．B．A项中讲到Moulin Rouge是这届法国电影节的首场展播电影，并非获头奖(top prize)；C项中eight people的描述有错误，因为文中出现了Enrico joins eight other people who act as goodwill envoys．．．，表明不止八位；D项中FredBiery，是aU．S．District Judge who performed the service(指婚礼)，并非是assistant；而B的正确可以从第三段可以看出。
3．C．A项abookon thefilmstars是一本书，不可能写得这么简洁；B项中a film re- view是指专门对一部电影所作的评论；D项指“布告，通知”，也不符合；而C项指报纸上的某一专栏。
