Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”?It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.
Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.
The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.
The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops,the
players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on,he drops out. Then,before the music starts again,one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again one more player will be out.
At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.

試題分析:這篇短文主要介紹了一個(gè)搶椅游戲,作者重點(diǎn)描述了這個(gè)游戲的游戲規(guī)則。
小題1:根據(jù)When the music stops,the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on,he drops out.描述,可知十個(gè)人玩游戲,只能有九把椅子,這樣才會(huì)有一個(gè)人坐不到椅子,故選A。
小題2:根據(jù)第一段You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it.描述,結(jié)合常識(shí)電話機(jī)是不能用作樂器演奏的,故選D。
小題3:根據(jù)第二段Put the chairs in a row.描述,可知選D。
小題4:根據(jù)When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs.描述,可知選C。
小題5:根據(jù)At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner。描述,可知最后會(huì)有兩個(gè)人和一把椅子,故選項(xiàng)B,描述與原文不符。
點(diǎn)評(píng):本文中長(zhǎng)句較多,一時(shí)很難讀懂句子含義,注意多讀幾遍,不要強(qiáng)求非得理解一詞一句的含義,能把握文章大意就行。然后帶著問題閱讀短文,一般就能順利找出答題依據(jù)。對(duì)于不能直接找到根據(jù)的問題注意聯(lián)系上下文,根據(jù)短文中心總結(jié)出正確答案。

James shook his money box again.
Nothing! He carefully counted the coins that lay on the bed. All that he had was $24.52 (about 153 yuan). The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! How on earth (究竟) was he going to get the rest of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was hard to hang out with people when you were the only one without a bicycle. He thought about what he could do. There was no point asking his parents, for he knew they had no extra money.
There was only one way to get money, and that was to earn (掙) it. He would have to find a job. He decided to ask Mr Clay for advice.
“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr Clay. “You see, my windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.”
That was the beginning of James’ part-time job.
For the next three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He took dogs for walks, cleaned out cupboards and repaired books.
The day finally came when James counted his money and found $ 94.32. He wasted no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode home proudly, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard working for the money, but James knew that he valued (珍惜) his bicycle far more because he had bought it with his own money. He had achieved what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.
小題1:Why didn’t James ask his parents for help?

To save yourself from embarrassment (尷尬), it’s good to read a few books or research online about the culture and customs of the country you plan to visit.
Clothing: Wearing shorts in public is generally not acceptable in most parts of the world, including some European countries.
Greetings: Handshake is a usually accepted form of greeting, although in some countries, like Japan, a traditional bow(鞠躬) is preferred. Be careful how you talk with someone; don’t use first names unless you are invited to do something.
Language/Gestures: learn some polite expressions (hello-goodbye-thank you) and relax. English is pretty common worldwide, especially in tourist areas and you can always use body language to get your message across. However, some Americans gestures have different meanings in other countries. For example, in Bulgaria, shaking your head usually means  “yes”; shaking it “vertically” means “ no”.
Food/Drink: you may find yourself looking down at a local delicious snake soup in china, sheep’s eyes in Saudi Arabia… and wonder what to do; especially you are guests in someone’s home. Be brave, take small bites, and pretend it tastes like something you like. Remember that some Buddhists don’t eat beef, and Muslims don’t eat pork. If you are eating with Muslims, never touch food with left hand (the left hand is for bathroom use).
Conversations: if you know the history and culture of the country, you will be confident. The French are angry at the classic American question: “What do you do for a living?” and so on.
小題1:You should learn about _______ of the country if you want to go to another country.
A.the people and the food
B.the culture and customs
C.the language and people
D.the behavior and conversations
小題2:A Japanese meet you for the first time, he/ she will ________.
A.shake hands with youB.hug with you
C.kiss youD.bow to you
小題3:In Bulgaria, shaking your head usually means______________.
A.yesB.noC.victoryD.calm down
小題4:Which of the following isn’t right?
A.You can’t wear shorts in public in most parts of the world.
B.You can use body language to communicate with people.
C.You can use your left hand to touch food when you eat with Muslims.
D.You can get along well with people you visit if you know their culture and customs well.
