28、sant smells of kabob(烤肉串)hit the senses, you are incapable of calling it anything less.”可知一走进饭店，就可以闻到烤肉串的香味，故选B项。2A细节理解题。根据第五段“A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics, watching news events on TV, drinking a black tea”可知在饭店除了吃饭外还可以看新闻，故选A项。3D细
29、节理解题。根据“The food especially appeals to healthconscious eaters because each dish is very healthy”可知饭店的饭菜非常健康，故选D项。A、C两项与“The variety of food at the restaurant is limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large.”不符，B项与“Most of the meals can serve two people and are under $10，so not only is it aff
30、ordable but practical as well.”不符。4B细节理解题。根据“One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob, which is made of grilled chicken pieces served with either rice or bread.”可判断选B。5C逻辑推理题。根据文章最后一段可推断，饭店虽然小，但其环境及饭菜极为特别，使饭店非常有名。故选C。(二)【文章大意】 人人都是推销者，人的一生就是在不断地推销自己不论是在工作、生活或是爱情中。推销自己，就是让别人注意到自己，
31、做人生舞台上的主角；推销自己，就是让更多的人接受自己，自然地融入人际关系中；推销自己，就是完美地展现自己，真正实现人生的价值。1C细节理解题。根据第二段“The common problem in marketing yourself is that most people think that it is nasty to do this.They think that marketing concerns only to a business.”可知，大部分人认为推销自己是不好的事，他们认为推销只和商业有关系。所以选C项。2D细节理解题。根据第三段“Marketing yourself d
32、oes not really mean telling every person how beautiful and wonderful you are.”可知D项错误。3A细节理解题。根据第四段“Have a brief and concise(简明) message that you can share with others.”可知C正确。根据第五段“.you must be open to them.”和“Know the appropriate dress code and have a plenty of time to decide what you will wear.”可知B

34、ckage.得出答案。2C推理判断题。本文属于一篇励志教育的短文，根据其主要意思，可以确定其来源应该是“教育栏目”，而其他几个选项所应涉及的不是这类话题。3C文章结构题。本题考查短文是怎样组织的，从几个小标题Love, Happiness and Sorrow, Failure and Success 和Hope and Despair可以看出，作者使用的是“对比或比较”的方式写作的。4A.句意理解题。句中alternative是“选择”的意思，整句意思和A项接近。5D推理判断题。推测作者写这篇文章的意图，A、B和C三项显然只所涉文中的部分内容，不能概括全文的目的，只有D项比较全面，体现了作者的意图。高考资源网独家高考资源网Ks5uK&S%5#U精品资源，欢迎下载！高考资源网Ks5uK&S%5#U高考资源网高考资源网
