    【题目】Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.

    AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost 169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost 118.15.

    If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.

    STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.

    Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was 95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was 75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just 62.95.

    GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.

    Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or 5 per day).

    【1】The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may .

    A. help travelers pass time

    B. attract lots of travelers to the UK

    C. allow travelers to make flexible plans

    D. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation

    【2】“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably .

    A. a hotel away from the train station

    B. the tube line to Covent Garden

    C. an ideal holiday destination

    D. the name of a travel agency

    【3】The main purpose of the passage is .

    A. to tell visitors how to book in advance

    B. to supply visitors with hotel information

    C. to offer visitors some money-saving tips

    D. to show visitors the importance of self-help

    【答案】

    【1】D

    【2】A

    【3】C

    【解析】本篇是一篇说明文。主要给读者讲解了去英国节约开支的途径。

    【1】D推理判断题。难度:中等。题干关键词为：The Brighton Comedy Feasival,定位第二段。根据句子: The Brighton Comedy Feasival cost 169.15….A week later, the same room cost 118.15,可以得知，主要是为了说明在有大事期间游客付费呀更高一些。干扰项排除：C选项提及flexible ,但是指如果游客时间灵活的话，根据具体情况而定。而本提及布莱顿的喜剧节的目的则能从上面的解析中可以看出。故选D。

    【2】A推理判断题。难度:中等。题干已经明确告知第五段，所以，直接在第五段找答案。文中提及:at Farringdon, a double room cost just 62.95；再看前两个句子，只因为距离车站的距离不同，价格相差很大，从75.75到95.95，可知两个信息：Farringdon首先是旅馆；其次是相对来说离车站较远。故选A。

    【3】C推理判断题。难度：较易。回到文章开头，Here we help ways to cut your costs不难看出答案。故选C。

    【难句学习】

    1. If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you coule end up paying moer for the sake of convinience of your holiday.

    翻译：如果乘火车去你的目的地，你可能会找一家离车站很近的旅馆，但这样你可能会因为图假期的方便而最终多花很多钱。

    分析：If traveling…,这是一个省略的状语从句。end up doing,以。。。而告终，最终。。。for the sake of 为了----。

    2 …but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at you own pace，saving you pubilc transport or car parking costs.

    【翻译】---但其他城市同样也有类似的计划会让你租自行车按照自己的节奏来探索旅行，这样能节约公交费用或者是停车费。that…引导定语从句，修饰先行词programmes; saving……用分词短语在这里作状语，可以改为定语从句：which saves ……

    【题目】Whether you prefer burning the midnight oil or going to bed early so you can get up at the break of dawn depends on your genes, according to experts.

    I jump out of bed each morning, eager to start an active day. But I can hear my neighbor’s alarm clock ringing non-stop every morning and I doubt he gets to work on time.

    A lot of noise comes from his flat in the evening. He’s happy to stay up watching TV till after midnight, while I go to bed early and try to sleep.

    Well, it might not be his fault after all. I’m called“a lark (百灵鸟)”and my neighbor“an owl (猫头鹰)”

    We all have inside “clocks”in the brain to control all kinds of bodily functions and it is reset every day by light. These inside clocks run to a different schedule in “larks” and “owls”. If you have a fast clock, you like to do things early, and if you have a slow clock, you like to do things late.

    Because we live in a 24/7 world, scientists believe it’s important to understand a person’s “chronotype?—the time of the day when they function the best. It could help us lead a healthier life.

    A US professor has studied sleeping patterns and thinks work times should be changed and made more individual to fit in with our chronotypes.

    And he has advice for those who can’t choose their working hours:“If that’s not possible, we should be more careful about light exposure,” says the professor. “You should try to go to work not in a covered vehicle but on a bike. The minute the sun sets we should use things that have no blue light, like computer. . . screens and other electronic devices.”

    【1】How is the passage mainly developed?

    A. By presenting and solving problems.

    B. By explaining the cause-effect relationship.

    C. By giving examples and drawing a conclusion.

    D. By analyzing differences and providing advice.

    【2】What does the underlined phrase “burning the midnight oil” in Paragraph1probably mean?

    A. drilling for oil in the midnight

    B. using too much oil in the midnight

    C. staying up late

    D. getting up late

    【3】We can learn from the passage that the author’s neighbour

    A. almost always gets to work on time

    B. has to work deep into the night every day

    C. is passive during the day but energetic at night

    D. is easily woken up by his alarm clock in the morning

    【4】Things with blue light are not recommended after sunset because blue light .

    A. may cause sleep problems

    B. will make you nervous

    C. will reduce your work efficiency

    D. may make you sleepy

    【题目】How to Fill Your Empty Walls with Beautiful Art

    If you’ve ever stared at an empty wall wondering what to put there, you’re not alone. The idea of having the same museum print as everyone else doesn’t seem that appealing.

    But, many people who may be interested in purchasing art are at a loss on how to start. The amount of time taken to discover art and artists that you truly love, and the expense of purchasing art, keep many people from even considering it.

    But now, TurningArt is solving this dilemma(困境). TurningArt is an online subscription(订

    阅 ) service that allows the average consumer to learn about art and be able to afford to own it. TurningArt offers art-lovers an online gallery of thousands of works, from highly accomplished and successful artists, to view in their homes and eventually buy if they want to.

    Here’s how it works

    Visit TurningArt.com to browse through the work of hundreds of independent artists from across the country. Sorted by style, medium, color, price, artist, or even region, new art is added daily. You’re sure to find several things you like.

    Then, simply sign up for one of TurningArt’s subscription plans. These start at just $10 per month. TurningArt will send you your first piece, framed and ready to hang right out of the box. The piece will not be the original, but rather a museum-quality print produced together with the artist. You can request the next piece at any time. New prints arrive in a mailer that you can use to send back your old prints.

    You can enjoy each piece for one, two, or three months—however long you want. And, best of all, you never have to worry about taping, sizing, or centering your new print, because all prints are pre-sized to fit easily into the frame originally sent to you.

    【题目】Our character, basically, is made up of our habits. "Sow a habit, reap (收获) a character: sow a character reap a destiny (命运)," as the saying goes.

    【1】Because they are often unconscious patterns, they constantly daily affect our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.

    As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, "Hahits are like a cable. We weave a rope of it every day and soon it cannot be broken. "Habits can be learned. But we know it isn't a quick fix.【2】.

    Many of us have watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11.【3】But to get there. those astronauts had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, than was used over the next several days to travel half million miles.

    【4】Getting rid of bad habits really requires great willpower and some changes in our lives. lift-off takes tremendous effort, but once we break out of the pull of gravity, we can enjoy great freedom.

    Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together and keeps the planets in their orbits.【5】We can use the gravity pull of habit to create the order necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.

    A. It involves a process and a great effort.

    B. Habits are powerful factors in our lives.

    C. Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull.

    D. It is a powerful force if we use it effectively.

    E. We should try our best to get rid of our bad habits.

    F. To break out of the pull of gravity needs great efforts.

    G. We were surprised to see the first men walk on the moon.
