五、阅读理解
Me: Hello, "Television Views"! I am Aziza Bellamy, and thanks for watching. I want to especially thank you, Ms Bertha, for agreeing to this interview on live television. It's a pleasure to meet you, the first-known trans-galactic visitor to the earth. 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 the earth for about a week now. Have you met anything unpleasant so far?
Bertha: It's not the worst planet I've ever been to. Mercury was much worse. 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 roll their eyes whenever I open my mouth to say anything. They're not interested in any of my stories. And I think they may be trying to avoid me. 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 am used to having high standards when I choose where to stay, by the way. I have stayed with presidents on other planets. And they all adored (崇拜) me and begged me not to leave. But I gave this human family a chance to host me. I mean, really, they should be thankful that I chose them, of all the people on the earth, to wash my clothes and cook my meals and entertain (款待) me.
Me: Well, what you're saying is surprising, Bertha. Do you think it's possible that this family just wants you to be a good guest?
Bertha: It's surprising that you're not agreeing with me. If you were smarter, you'd agree with me. That's another thing. Everyone on Zadernol is smarter than the smartest person on the earth. The earth is below me.
Me: You know what, Bertha? I'm starting to see why you're so unhappy here on the earth. You're just a boastful (自夸的), spoiled (被宠坏的) alien.

【分析】
1. 第1题：先聚焦对话结尾内容，Aziza直接评价Bertha是自夸、被宠坏的外星人，结合前文她对Bertha言论的反应，可判断出Aziza对Bertha的不满态度，进而锁定答案。
2. 第2题：这是一场对跨星系访客的直播采访，但Bertha全程傲慢抱怨，和预期的外星访客形象差异很大，这次采访是不寻常且超出预期的，据此分析各选项匹配度。
3. 第3题：从Bertha的经历来看，她自夸且轻视地球人，导致寄宿家庭疏远她，采访者也对她不满，由此可推断出自夸的人难以赢得他人好感，从而选出正确选项。
【解析】
1. 第1题：根据对话末尾Aziza的表述“You're just a boastful (自夸的), spoiled (被宠坏的) alien.”，能明确看出Aziza对Bertha是不满的。选项A“以Bertha为荣”、B“对Zadernol感兴趣”、D“害怕Bertha的话”均不符合文意，故选C。
2. 第2题：本次采访是直播采访外星访客，但Bertha全程抱怨地球人、自夸自身星球与地位，和常规采访体验截然不同，是一次不寻常且出乎意料的经历。选项A“和Bertha交谈很有趣，了解了很多Zadernol的事”与Aziza最后不满Bertha的态度矛盾；选项B“我们应该改进地球，因为Bertha的家乡更好”文中未体现Aziza有此想法；选项C“采访有趣，但我不喜欢Bertha寄宿的家庭”不符合，Aziza不满的是Bertha而非寄宿家庭，故选D。
3. 第3题：Bertha自夸傲慢，导致寄宿家庭不愿理会她，采访者也对她不满，说明自夸的人很难获得他人喜爱，难以交到朋友。选项B“自夸有很多好理由”、C“自夸的人比别人好”、D“自夸是让别人喜欢的好方法”均与文意相悖，故选A。
