七、阅读理解
Me: Hello, Television viewers, welcome to Alien X I am Aziza Bellamy. I want to thank you, Ms. Bertha, for coming to our interview on television. Now, I understand that you are from a planet called Zadernol.
Bertha: Just call me Miss Bertha or Bertha, please, but not “Ms.”
Me: Okay, sorry about that. So, you’ve been on Earth for about a week now. What have been your biggest difficulties up to now
Bertha: It’s the worst planet I’ve ever been to. The aliens- oops, I mean humans, have been unkind, overall. The family I’m staying with, for example, were nice at first. But now they’re not interested in any of my stories. Worst of all, they make me wash my own dishes and bathe myself. They’re so rude.
Me: Oh, um... wow. That’s just...
Bertha: I have stayed with kings on other planets. And they all respected me and asked me not to leave. But I gave this ordinary family a chance to host me. I mean, really, they should be thankful that I chose them. They should help me wash my clothes and cook my meals.
Me: Well what you’re saying is surprising, Bertha. Do you think it’s possible that this family just wants you to do something, to be a good guest
Bertha: It’s strange to me that you’re not agreeing with me. If you are smarter, you will agree with me. Everyone on Zadernol is smarter than the smartest person on Earth. Earth is below me.
Me: You know what, Bertha I find you yourself didn’t do anything at all. I’m starting to see why you’re so unhappy here on Earth. You’ re just a boastful (自夸的) alien, requiring everything done for you.
1. Who is hosting the interview
A. Aziza Bellamy. B. Bertha. C. Zadernol. D. Alien X.

A. I’m starting to see why you’re so unhappy here on Earth.
B. So, you’ve been on Earth for about a week now.
C. I understand that you are from a planet called Zadernol.
D. You’re just a boastful alien, requiring everything done for you.
3. What can we learn from the interview
A. Bertha helped Aziza know much about Zadernol.
B. It was a pleasant interview because Bertha was polite.
C. Bertha always thought about herself instead of others.
D. Bertha was welcomed on other planets as she was very clever.
【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C
【解析】本文是Aziza Bellamy对外星人Bertha的采访。Bertha认为和她一起生活的那家人应该为她做一切事。Aziza认为Bertha是一个自夸的外星人，要求别人为她做一切事。
1.细节理解题。根据“Hello, Television viewers, welcome to Alien X I am Aziza Bellamy.”可知，Aziza Bellamy主持了这个采访，故选A。
2.推理判断题。根据“Me: You know what, Bertha I find you yourself didn’t do anything at all. I’m starting to see why you’re so unhappy here on Earth. You’ re just a boastful (自夸的) alien, requiring everything done for you.”可知，Aziza认为Bertha是一个自夸的外星人，要求别人为她做一切事，故选D。
3.推理判断题。根据“But I gave this ordinary family a chance to host me. I mean, really, they should be thankful that I chose them. They should help me wash my clothes and cook my meals.”可知，Bertha认为这家人应该感谢她，应该帮助她洗衣服和做饭，因此她总是为自己着想，而不是为他人着想，故选C。

Me: Hello, Television viewers, welcome to Alien X I am Aziza Bellamy. I want to thank you, Ms. Bertha, for coming to our interview on television. Now, I understand that you are from a planet called Zadernol.
Bertha: Just call me Miss Bertha or Bertha, please, but not “Ms.”
Me: Okay, sorry about that. So, you’ve been on Earth for about a week now. What have been your biggest difficulties up to now
Bertha: It’s the worst planet I’ve ever been to. The aliens- oops, I mean humans, have been unkind, overall. The family I’m staying with, for example, were nice at first. But now they’re not interested in any of my stories. Worst of all, they make me wash my own dishes and bathe myself. They’re so rude.
Me: Oh, um... wow. That’s just...
Bertha: I have stayed with kings on other planets. And they all respected me and asked me not to leave. But I gave this ordinary family a chance to host me. I mean, really, they should be thankful that I chose them. They should help me wash my clothes and cook my meals.
Me: Well what you’re saying is surprising, Bertha. Do you think it’s possible that this family just wants you to do something, to be a good guest
Bertha: It’s strange to me that you’re not agreeing with me. If you are smarter, you will agree with me. Everyone on Zadernol is smarter than the smartest person on Earth. Earth is below me.
Me: You know what, Bertha I find you yourself didn’t do anything at all. I’m starting to see why you’re so unhappy here on Earth. You’ re just a boastful (自夸的) alien, requiring everything done for you.
