A.findithardtopayforwhattheyneed
B.havetolearntomaketheirownfurniture
C.takeDIYcoursesrunbythegovernment
D.seldomgotoadepartmentstoretobuythings(分数:
1.00)
A. √
B.
C.
D.
解析:
文章第二段开头便说罗斯夫妇因买不起家具而苦恼,后面说像很多新婚夫妇一样,他们要为很高的生活开支不断奋斗。
B和C属于罗斯家的情况,不能说所有新婚夫妇面临这样的困难。
D项文中没有提到。
(2).Johnandhiswifewenttoeveningclassestolearnhowto______
A.runaDIYshopB.makeorrepairthings
C.savetimeandmoneyD.improvethequalityoflife(分数:
1.00)
A.
B. √
C.
D.
解析:
第二段中TheRossestookatwo-weekcoursefor$280atanightsclloolNowtheybuildalltheirfurnitureanelmakerepairsarounclthehouse.参加过夜校课程后,罗斯夫妇可以自己制作和修理家具了。
所以选B。
(3).WhenthewritersaysthatJimhasafull-timejobathome,hemeansJim______
A.makesshoesinhishome
B.doeshisextraworkatnight
C.doeshisowncarandhomerepairs
D.keepshouseandlooksafterhischildren(分数:
1.00)
A.
B.
C.
D. √
解析:
hasafull-timejobathome在家有一份全职工作,乍一看让人匪夷所思。
但通过上下文,前面的一句提到吉姆的妻子去世了,他自己带着三个孩子生活。
这样我们便不难理解,haveafull-timejobathome是说吉姆要料理家务并照管孩子。
(4).JimHatfielddecidedtobecomea"do-it-yourselfer"when______
A.hiscarrepairscosttoomuch
B.thecarrepairclasswasnothelpful
C.hecouldnotpossiblydotwojobs
D.hehadtoraisethechildrenallbyhimself(分数:

A. √
B.
C.
D.
解析:
第三段中提到,Lastmonth,hereceivedacarrepairbillfor$420.“I’wasdeeplyupsetaboutit.NowI’Vefinishedacarrepaircourse.Ishouldbeabletofixthecarbymyself”当吉姆收到420美元的汽车修理账单时,他感到沮丧极了。
所以是这张昂贵的账单促使他加入了DIY的行列。
(5).Whatwouldbethebesttitleforthetext?
A.TheJoyofDIY.B.YouCanDoItToo!
C.WelcometoOurDIYCourse!
D.RossandHatfield:
BelieversinDIY.(分数:
1.00)
A.
B. √
C.
D.
解析:
这道题主要考查学生对全文的整体理解和对主旨的准确把握能力。
全文围绕DIY展开,并给出了约翰和吉姆两个成功的例子。
但文章的主旨在最后一段,作者总结说,约翰和吉姆都是普通人,通过参加课程或参考书籍,任何人都可以成为DIY高手。
所以比较四个选项,B更加恰当。
