　　1.C。計(jì)算比較題。通過計(jì)算可發(fā)現(xiàn)從Boston 到New York的1:15 PM列車只需要4 hours 30 minutes可推知此題答案為C。

　　2.B。計(jì)算題。通過計(jì)算可發(fā)現(xiàn)5:10 AM、7:10 AM、9:10 AM這三輛列車從Boston 到New York需要五個(gè)多小時(shí)，由此可推知此題答案為B。

　　Can you remember any of the bad habits you used to have when you were very young? Perhaps, as a baby, you used to suck your thumb(拇指). Of course, you do not do that any more, but you can surely remember your mother’s efforts to train you. The good habits you now have in such matters as personal cleanliness were part of this early training.

　　We may not suck our thumbs any more, but as we get older we get other bad habits. We can’t give them up easily, either.(Anyone who has tried to give up smoking knows this very well!) Each period brings its own problems. In babyhood, it’s thumb-sucking; in childhood, it’s nail-biting; in our teens, it’s smoking; in middle-age, it’s over-eating, and so on. And if anyone tells you that he has no bad habits, you can be sure that he must have the worst habit of all.

　　1. Generally speaking, a child likes ______.

　　A. sucking thumbs B. biting nails C. smoking D. eating too much

　　2. According to the passage, now we have good habits such as personal cleanliness, for which we benefit from _______.

　　A. the social conditions B. some strict rules

　　C. our friends’ kind help D. our mothers’ early training

　　3. At the end of the story the writer says "And if anyone tells you that he has no bad habits, you can be sure that he must have the worst habit of all". Here what do you suppose the worst habit is?

　　A. Reading. B. Playing. C. Walking. D. Lying.

　　4. Which of the following is NOT true to the passage?

　　A. It is very difficult to get rid of our habits.

　　B. At different ages people have different bad habits.

　　C. Giving up smoking is as difficult as giving up other bad habits.

　　D. Sucking thumbs is a young child’s bad habit.

　　【答案與解析】本文主要講人在不同的年齡階段有不同的壞習(xí)慣，并且這些習(xí)慣都是很難改掉的。

　　1. B。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù) …in childhood, it’s nail-biting 可知答案為B。

　　2. D。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第1段 …your mother’s efforts to train you. The good habits you now have in such matters as personal cleanliness were part of this early training 可知答案為D。

　　3. D。判斷題。根據(jù)常識(shí)每個(gè)人或多或少都有一點(diǎn)壞習(xí)慣，所以說如果一個(gè)人說他沒有壞習(xí)慣，他就是在說謊;而在所有的這些壞習(xí)慣中，說謊是個(gè)最大的壞習(xí)慣。所以此題答案為D。

　　4. D。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)原文A、B、C 三項(xiàng)說法是正確的;根據(jù)原文第2段 In babyhood, it’s thumb-sucking; in childhood, it’s nail-biting 可知 D 項(xiàng)說法是錯(cuò)誤的，所以此題答案為 D。
