2.When I was just 17,my father decided to turn an old guesthouse into a hotel,and he experimented with everything.None of us had ever worked in a hotel before,but my dad was sure of what guests would like to see.
For a month that summer,I served as a waitress,punctual at breakfast and dinner,which gave me the middle of the day free for studying.Like all the others,I did what the instructions said and treated the guests as though they were special visitors in my own home.
I soon learned how to deal with the most upsetting person in the kitchen:the cook,Gordon.He had a great ability to become very angry for no clear reason.I avoided him as much as possible and always took the dishes with a frozen expression on my face which was turned into a sweet smile in the space between kitchen and dining room.
Breakfast waitressing was,I found,more enjoyable than the dinner service.The guests came wandering into the dining room,looking with appreciation at the view of the sea and islands through the dining room window.It was funny how differently people behaved in the evenings,dressed up and talking with louder,colder voices,not always returning my smile.However,that all changed when Dad created a special role for me.
It began with a few common cakes for the guests'packed lunches and progressed to fancy cakes for afternoon teas.This led to the climax(顶点):a nightly show known as Lucy's Sweet Trolley.Every evening,I carried the most amazing collection of cakes and other desserts.Most were things I had invented myself and I had cooked all of them.Some-were Jacobite Grenades,Mocha Genghis Khan and Goat's Milk Bavarios to name a few-were really strange.It was Dad's idea that I should dress smartly and stop at each table and recite the name of each dish.

21.What did the people working at the hotel have in common?D
A.They all understood the guests'expectations.
B.They all studied at the middle of the day.
C.They all had enough experience.
D.They all followed the rules.
22.Why did Lucy enjoy serving breakfasts more than dinners?A
A.The guests were friendlier.
B.There were more types of food to satisfy the guests.
C.The dining room was quieter.
D.The guests dressed up for the beginning of a new day.
23.What was special about the food on Lucy's Sweet Trolley?B
A.It was based on traditional dishes.
B.It contained a number of new creations.
C.It was made following her father's instructions.
D.It was prepared along with the food for lunches.

分析 本文主要讲述作者父亲将旅馆变成餐馆,作者作为侍者在餐馆里早晚服务,并且自己新创了一些菜式.

解答 21--23 DAB
21.D 细节裡解题.根据第二段Like all the others,I did what the instructions said可知,像所有其他的人一样,我按照指令所说的去做.即:在餐馆上班的工作人员都听从指示、遵守规则.故选D.
22.A 推理判断题.第四段中具体描 述了客人早晚用餐的差别:The guests came wandering into the dining room,looking with appreciation (客人们漫步进入餐厅,带着白欣赏看)和 talking with louder,colder voices,not always returning my smile(大声谈论,声音冷淡,并不总是回报我的微笑).由此可以推测,Lucy喜欢 早上当服务员是因为顾客在早上显得更友好.故选A.
23.B 细节理解题.根据最后一段中Most were things I had invented myself and I had cooked all of them 可知,大多数是我自己发明,我做了所有的菜.即:Lucy 自创的一些新菜式.故选B.

点评 人物故事类阅读理解文章是高考英语常考材料之一.这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类.这两类阅读材料一般较长,即词数多,而且命题也较多,特别是推理判断题和事实细节题多.在做此类阅读理解题时往往是材料看得懂,题目不好做的感觉.因此,在阅读材料时要重点放在事情发展的过程和结果上,注意把握事件的发展进程及人物之间的关系,细节与主题的关系,用以说明人物性格特点的事实、作者的态度等,这些内容往往是推理判断题的命题点.至于事实细节题的解答,同学们切忌想当然或者凭印象,一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.

14.Starting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure (血压) under control,research suggests.Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful blood pressurelowering drugs.
The research,from the University of Alberta in Canada,showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes (酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as ACE inhibitors used to treat heart disease,but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.
Earlier this month,British researchers declared that,opposite to popular beliefs,it is healthy to go to work on an egg.They concluded that the type of cholesterol (胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks.
Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin,from the University of Surrey,said,"The wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected.The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs.The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat.They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature's most nutritious foods."
The British Heart Foundation has dropped its threeeggaweek limit.However,almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies.

32.From the text we know that"ACE inhibitors"areC.
A.a kind of protein
B.a kind of illness
C.a kind of medicine
D.a kind of food
33.According to what Professor Bruce said,eggsB.
A.are the most nutritious food
B.can be included in a healthy diet
C.have no effect on blood cholesterol
D.are forbidden to be eaten in the UK
34.We can infer from the text thatD.
A.drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggs
B.stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseases
C.there is relatively quite a little cholesterol found in eggs
D.about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health
35.The text is meantA.
A.to introduce scientific findings about eggs
B.to report a medicine made from eggs
C.to tell people how to lower their blood pressure
D.to advise people to eat as many eggs as possible.
