阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be a hassle; it can be a basket of fun, according to Beth Anaclerio, an Evaston mother of two, ages 4 and 18 months.
“Having a party at home usually requires a lot of running around on the part of the parents, and often the birthday boy or girl gets lost in wild excitement. But it really doesn’t have to be that way.”said Anaclerio. Last summer Anaclerio and her friend Jill Carlisle, a Northbrook mother of a 2-year-old, founded a home party-planning business called“A Party in a Basket.”Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care of everything.
Drawing on their experiences as mothers, they have created (制作)10 ready-to-use, home party packages. Everything a family needs to plan a party, except the cake and ice cream, is delivered to the home in a large basket.
“Out parties are aimed for children 2 to 10,”Anaclerio said,“and they’re very interactive(互动) and creative in that they build a sense of drama based on a subject. For example, at the Soda shopper party the guests become waiters and waitresses and build wonderful ice cream creations.”
The standard $200 package for eight children includes a basket filled with invitations, gifts, games and prizes , paper goods, a party planner and the like. For more information, call Anaclerio at 708-864-6584 or Carlisle at 708-205-9141.

试题答案
答案：D;A;C;A
解析：1．短文叙述了孩子的生日不再是一件造成困难或带来麻烦的事情，而可能成为一个装满各种有趣物的篮子。Anaclerio和她的朋友Jill Calisle提出了一个家庭聚会计划的设想叫作“篮子里的聚会”。他们制作了家庭聚会袋，其中篮子里盛满了祝贺生日的活动、计划和礼品之类的东西。我们再根据短文最后一句For more information, call Anaclerioat 708－864－6584 or Carlisle at 708－205－9141.就可以归纳概括出，这篇短文的主要目的是用来推销一项服务业务，故最佳答案为D。 2．短文第二段叙述了去年夏季，Anaclerio和朋友Jill Carlisle开设了一个家庭聚会计划业务叫作“篮子里的聚会”。我们再根据该段最后一句Their goal is to help parents and children share in the fun part of party planning, like choosing the subject or making a cake, while they take care of everything.就可以推断出，这里所描述的这种聚会计划所隐含的最重要的思想是，它使父母和孩子的关系更加密切，故答案为A。 3．根据短文第二段中Anaclerio说的在家里举行聚会，通常需要父母亲忙得团团转，及短文第一段中it can be a basket of fun，我们可以推测出，在短文第一段首句中A child’s birthday party doesn’t have to be a hassle中的划线单词hassle意思是“造成困难或引起麻烦的情况”，故最佳答案为C。 4．解此类题需要把文章与图示结合起来考虑，图文互相参照，互相验证。图B为生日礼品；图C为生日卡；图D为菜单。我们从图A中所提供的“Date”、“Things to do”、“People to invite”等信息就可以清楚地判断出，该图很象是一个聚会设计单，故A是最佳选项。 |
