I worked as a waitress at a bar inside an upscale health-food grocery store(it’s a real thing，I promise).
Most of our customers were well-off retirees.Generally a nice group of customers，but definitely rich uptight people.Forgetting to bring salt to some might be a huge offense but automatically bringing it causes others to give you a lecture about sodium(钠) intake.
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
语篇解读　本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在酒吧当服务员的经历。
It was St.Patrick’s Day.Needless to say，it was a crazy evening with me rushing around serving corned beef and cabbage pouring Guinness. For some reason，the bar supervisor always liked to have food specials on display for people to see.While I got the concept，it generally just caused us to get mean looks when we told people they probably shouldn’t eat it.
As the night was beginning to slow down，I had an older couple sit at the only open seats—next to our food displays.I was clearing tables and leaned over to let them know I’d be right with them when a plate slid off the mountain of dishes I was carrying，dropping right into the food display.The 12-hour-old gravy and potatoes somehow still had some fluidity to them and flew up，then dropped—right into the man’s lap.
I was horrified and apologizing profusely(不停地) while trying to set down the mountain of dishes.
The man looked up at me and said，“I just have one thing to tell you.”
He slowly leaned in—at which point I was thinking he was about to spit in my face—and he said，“I don’t have to hiccup(打嗝) anymore.You scared it away.”
It was the laugh I needed that night and he wouldn’t even let me give him a free beer as an apology.
1.What’s the purpose of writing paragraph 2
A.To tell senior citizens prefer food low in salt.
B.To show the service was a hard balancing act.
C.To complain the customers are difficult to deal with.
D.To prove the rich retirees are particular about food.

推理判断题。根据第二段中“Forgetting to bring salt to some might be a huge offense but automatically bringing it causes others to give you a lecture about sodium(钠) intake.”可知，作者的客户要求很高以至于作者很难拿捏服务的轻重。故作者写第二段是为了表明服务是一种难以平衡的行为。故选B。
解析
2.What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A.Customers might want to eat the food on show.
B.The author was not working busily on that day.
C.The author approved of laying out the food specials.
D.Waiters and waitresses were often looked down on.
√

解析
3.Why did the author apologize
A.For her tolerance. B.For her ignorance.
C.For her carelessness. D.For her misunderstanding.
√
细节理解题。根据第四段可知，作者道歉是因为她的粗心大意。故选C。
解析
4.What idea does the author mainly convey by sharing her experience
A.You should compromise sometimes.
B.Conflicts are well-resolved by laugh.
C.You should apologize when necessary.
D.Forgiveness can bring pleasure in life.
√
推理判断题。根据最后一段“It was the laugh I needed that night and he wouldn’t even let me give him a free beer as an apology.”可知，顾客的玩笑化解了作者尴尬的局面。因此，作者通过分享她的经历是为了表明宽恕能给生活带来快乐。故选D。
解析

As William Shakespeare is to literature in English，so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition.“We have Dante，Shakespeare and Du Fu.These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged，” remarked Harvard Professor Stephen Owen in Du Fu，China’s Greatest Poet，a new BBC documentary.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了BBC推出的一部关于“诗圣”杜甫的纪录片，且讲述了杜甫的生活故事和他的伟大之处。
Aimed at introducing the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers around the globe，the documentary invited famous British actor Ian McKellen to read 15 of Du’s poems that have been translated into English.
The one-hour film traces the poet’s life experiences in detail.Born in 712，Du lived under the reign of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong (713－756)，a time marked by extraordinary prosperity，inclusiveness and cultural accomplishment.
However，as the An Lushan Rebellion floored the empire，the 43-year-old Du，the former civil servant at the Tang court，had to take his family out of his hometown，and faced starvation and sufferings. Through ups and downs，the poet never stopped writing and about 1,500 poems have been kept over the ages.
Even though he never held a high position in the government，Du still cared about common people.For example，in the poem My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales，he wrote that “Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles，I’d house all poor scholars and make them beam with smiles.”
“That is why he was honored as Poet Sage(诗圣) by later generations. A difficult life and his spirit of concern about the world helped him create so many masterpieces，” Shi Wenxue，a cultural critic based in Beijing，told the Global Times.
Without doubt，Du is a cultural symbol of ancient China，but his brilliant works and core spirits have also inspired people outside of China. As the documentary noted，his work represents a precious cultural heritage for the entire world，not just China.
5.What can we know about the documentary
A.It introduces Shakespeare.
B.Its target audience is Chinese.
C.Du Fu is acted by Ian McKellen in it.
D.It shows 15 of Du Fu’s poems to the audience.
√
细节理解题。根据第二段的“the documentary invited famous British actor Ian McKellen to read 15 of Du’s poems that have been translated into English.”可知，这部纪录片向观众展示了杜甫的十五首诗。故选D项。
解析
6.Why was Du Fu honored as Poet Sage by later generations
A.Because of his sentences of the poems.
B.Because of his caring about common people.
C.Because of his low position in the government.
D.Because of his poem My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales.
√
细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“Even though he never held a high position in the government，Du still cared about common people.”以及第六段第一句“That is why he was honored as Poet Sage(诗圣) by later generations.”可知，杜甫被誉为诗圣的原因是他关心百姓。故选B项。
解析
7.What most inspired Du’s creation according to Shi Wenxue
A.His work experiences.
B.The An Lushan Rebellion.
C.A hard life and his caring spirit.
D.The cultural background in Tang Dynasty.
√
细节理解题。根据第六段的“A difficult life and his spirit of concern about the world helped him create so many masterpieces”可知，杜甫自身艰难的生活和他对于百姓的关怀使他创作了很多杰出的诗歌。故选C项。
解析
8.In which column of a newspaper may this text appear
A.Sports. B.Health.
C.Literature. D.Science.
√
文章出处题。本篇文章以BBC推出的一部关于杜甫的纪录片为中心，介绍了杜甫的经历和杜甫创作诗歌背后的故事，以及杜甫的诗歌对于中国乃至世界文学的贡献。故这篇文章可能会出现在报纸的文学板块。故选C项。

I worked as a waitress at a bar inside an upscale health-food grocery store(it’s a real thing，I promise)．
Most of our customers were well-off retirees.Generally a nice group of customers，but definitely rich uptight people.Forgetting to bring salt to some might be a huge offense but automatically bringing it causes others to give you a lecture about sodium(钠) intake.

As the night was beginning to slow down，I had an older couple sit at the only open seats—next to our food displays.I was clearing tables and leaned over to let them know I’d be right with them when a plate slid off the mountain of dishes I was carrying，dropping right into the food display.The 12-hour-old gravy and potatoes somehow still had some fluidity to them and flew up，then dropped—right into the man’s lap.

As William Shakespeare is to literature in English，so is the poet Du Fu to the Chinese literary tradition.“We have Dante，Shakespeare and Du Fu.These poets create the very values by which poetry is judged，” remarked Harvard Professor Stephen Owen in Du Fu，China’s Greatest Poet，a new BBC documentary.
Aimed at introducing the charm and beauty of traditional Chinese literature to viewers around the globe，the documentary invited famous British actor Ian McKellen to read 15 of Du’s poems that have been translated into English.
The one-hour film traces the poet’s life experiences in detail.Born in 712，Du lived under the reign of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong (713－756)，a time marked by extraordinary prosperity，inclusiveness and cultural accomplishment.
However，as the An Lushan Rebellion floored the empire，the 43-year-old Du，the former civil servant at the Tang court，had to take his family out of his hometown，and faced starvation and sufferings.Through ups and downs，the poet never stopped writing and about 1,500 poems have been kept over the ages.
Even though he never held a high position in the government，Du still cared about common people.For example，in the poem My Cottage Unroofed by Autumn Gales，he wrote that “Could I get mansions covering ten thousand miles，I’d house all poor scholars and make them beam with smiles.”
“That is why he was honored as Poet Sage(诗圣) by later generations.A difficult life and his spirit of concern about the world helped him create so many masterpieces，” Shi Wenxue，a cultural critic based in Beijing，told the Global Times.
Without doubt，Du is a cultural symbol of ancient China，but his brilliant works and core spirits have also inspired people outside of China.As the documentary noted，his work represents a precious cultural heritage for the entire world，not just China.
