本文作者： 21st

A

1. C. 根据文中My partner and I were very passionate about it一句的表述可知作者接到西班牙语课程的作业之后非常兴奋。作业的内容是用西班牙语来详细描述一项发明。

2. B. 根据How about helping people to remember helpful things when they were doing their homework?可知B正确。根据My partner and I both knew what it would do: The writer would basically move his or her arm and the pen would write a good essay可知A与文意不符，C、D两项的功能并没有提到。

3. C. 根据When we were finished writing, we both agreed that our invention was the best in the class可知作者对于自己团队想出的发明设想很满意，但是根据文意可知作者的团队输掉了比赛，因此他有些失望。从People’s minds are so hard to predict一句也能感受到作者的遗憾情绪。

B

4. B. So how should you tip if you are in the US?是全文承上启下的句子，也交代了文章的主旨：即在美国如何给小费。

5. D. 根据The same goes for spa therapists and tour guides可知D项不符合给小费的规矩。根据Though US national law requires that businesses pay workers at least $7.25 (45 yuan) per hour, employees receiving tips – often waiters and waitresses – are the exceptions可知A是可以被允许的行为。根据Don’t feel obligated to throw some money in, but also remember that it doesn’t hurt. Those workers do not rely on tips可知B是被允许的。而根据You can offer more for great service and less for poor service可知C项也是被允许的。

6. A. 根据后文的Those workers do not rely on tips可以推测选A。obligated表示“强迫的，强制的”。

7. D. 根据it’s important to bear in mind that as long as you show respect and use your reasoning, things will be just fine可知D正确。

C

8. C. 根据more than eight in 10 teenagers (83 percent) have visited a social networking site, and three out of four teenagers now have a profile on a social networking site可知Common Sense Media research这个研究机构的最新研究结果是发现大多数青少年都在使用社交网站。注意文中However, while social media sites can improve teenagers’ communication abilities, experts say that social networking could be harmful to healthy teenage self-esteem一句并不能作为选A的根据，因为原文并没有明确这是Common Sense Media research这个研究机构的发现。

9. D. 根据“If you compare yourself to someone else, you’re usually going to end up despairing,” Fried said. “One of the problems with social media is that we throw our best selves out there, or what we like to think of as our best self.”可知选D。人们在社交网站上总是极力表现自己完美的一面，这容易因为人们相互的攀比，进而树立一些不切实际的生活标准。

10. B. 根据He adds that parents should educate their children early on about social media可知B正确。

D

11. B. 根据Here, ordering is a fun game of trial and error, and the adventure begins before the food is even served和后文内容可知文章主要介绍了作者在中国点菜的有趣经历。

12. A. 根据Many restaurants in central Beijing advertise “English language menus”, but the translations can just add to the confusion和Although accompanying pictures can be a helpful relief, the translations often make the whole experience even more amusing可知A正确。

13. D. 根据I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it would taste like可知作者以前从未听说过过桥米线这个菜，所以此处他决定冒险一试。

14. A. 文章举了很多例子来介绍作者点菜过程中越到的文化障碍，风趣而幽默的例子使得文章的展开生动而流畅。

E

15. B. 第一段点出了不同群体的人都会迷信，后文围绕迷信这个话题展开，因此第一段主要是为了引入关于迷信的话题的讨论。

16. B. 根据avoid saying the word “four”，Cristiano Ronaldo always steps onto the pitch with his right foot first和the horseshoe he’d hung at his country home was lucky这三个例子可知选B。第四段提到的女巫施魔法只是研究中让学生们想象的，并不是实际中的迷信做法（superstitious practice）,故不能计算在内。

17. D. 根据When the researchers gave the scientists little time to answer questions, they were twice as likely to agree with statements ... than they were when they had more time to think about their reply可知D正确。

18. B. 根据And these explanations aren’t completely unhelpful和最后一段的提问可知作者对于迷信是持中立的态度的。

19. C. 纵观全文，主要介绍了关于迷信问题的一些最新研究结果，并就为什么迷信如此普遍的问题给出了一些解释。
