I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another try because I’m in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, "I’m having a dinner party" means: "I’m booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can’t afford and we’ll be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat". Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They’ll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: "Where are you going?" And it’s not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone knows I have nowhere to go.
But in London, dinner parties are in people’s homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York. The mix is less striking. It’s like a gathering at Bloomingdales, a well-known department store.
For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallerys, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. Why does the speaker dislike dinner parties in New York?
17. What does the speaker think of the parties in London?
18. What is the speaker’s opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience?
选项
A、Easy-going.
B、Self-centre.
C、Generous.
D、Conservative.
答案
B
解析
选项均为评价人的形容词,本题可能考查说话者对某些人的主观判断。由短文中提到的For New Yorkers,talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York.But at Mallerys,when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently,people knew where it was可知,纽约人在谈话内容方面仅局限于自己所生活的城市,再结合上文谈到的纽约人之间聚餐的费用分配很不公平可推断出,纽约人以自我为中心,喜欢生活在自己的圈子里,B)Self-centre是对这些特点的概括总结,故为答案。评价性的题目在短文中通常没有对应的句子或段落,需要自己概括总结。
