【小题1】B
【小题2】D
【小题3】D
【小题4】A
【小题5】C
解析试题分析:文章是关于参观狄更斯博物馆的展品及其开放时间、门票、使用、租用、交通等有关信息。
【小题1】B推理(文章出处)题。根据文章倒数第三段最后一句“Click here to visit all the rooms in the Museum online”和文章倒数第一段“For a map, please click here”中的“click(点击), online(在线的)”可推断出此文章来自网址,故B正确。
【小题2】D 细节题。由题干关键词“save”定位把答案定位于文章“Admission Charges”部分,由“ Adults: £5.00;…Children: £3.00; Families:£14.00( 2 adults & up to five children)”可知“这一家各自去参观,要花费:2*5+5*3=25英镑;买家庭票只要14英镑”,所以买家庭票可节约11英镑,故D正确。
【小题3】D细节题。故D正确。由题干关键词“the Museum, find”定位把答案定位于文章第一段,该段第三句明确指出“…visitors can see paintings, rare editions, manuscripts,…”,即“…游客可以看绘画,珍本,手稿…”,由此可知,答案A、B、C都有,D项在文中未讲到,故选D。
【小题4】A细节题。故A正确。做此类正误判断细节题的技巧是把选项与原文一一比较。A“这博物馆与大英博物馆不远”在文章最后一段“The British Museum and the Foundling Museum are within walking distance”提到,A项是此句原文的同义转述,故为正确答案。B“17:00后,在任何情况下都不能参观博物馆”与文章“Special opening times can be arranged for groups, who may wish to book a private view”不符,不正确;C“视力差的游客不能享受参观博物馆”与文章“…an audio tour for visitors with impaired (受损的) vision.Our Handling Sessions are also suitable for the visually impaired”相矛盾,故不正确;D“任何人不能雇用博物馆进行其他活动”与文章倒数第二段“The Museum can be hired for private functions, performances soirees(社交晚会) and many other social occasions”相矛盾,故不正确。
【小题5】C主旨大意(写作目的)题。本文的主旨大意是要根据各段的主题句概括而出。首段讲了“查尔斯狄更斯博物馆里的展品”,接着依次讲了“狄更斯博物馆开放时间,门票,使用,租用,交通”,由此可知本文围绕“狄更斯博物馆有关信息”展开,故C正确。

Amazing Rafting Adventures
White water rafting is one of the classic, wild, activities in the outdoors. It is also an opportunity for an unbelievable family adventure. Around the country, there are several rivers—and rafting outfitters—that are perfectly suited to the entire family.
Here are three of the best:
New River Gorge, West Virginia
Rafting in West Virginia is renowned for its established infrastructure, reliability, and easy access. These things make it an obvious choice for a family vacation. Famous areas, including the New River Gorge, offer everything from lazy floats to intense Class IV runs.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming
Jackson Hole provides a full range of opportunities in the outdoors—and white water rafting is certainly one of them. Popular trips include the rough rapids of the Snake River and gentle floats in nearby Yellowstone National Park.

All people need to sleep. Sleep is a necessary process that promotes proper body functioning and can improve the quality of your life. Not only is the quantity of sleep important, but also the quality of sleep.
Your bedroom should be shaped to your taste and allow you to sleep in a peaceful environment. One of the biggest mistakes people make in their sleep is to use their bedroom for activities other than sleep. If your bedroom also functions as a command station for your life and work, the likelihood of your sleeping being poor is rather high. Bedrooms should be designed, decorated and used for sleep mainly. TVs, computers and other things should not be in your bedroom if at all possible.
Establishing regular sleeping and waking times can help improve the quality of your sleep especially for those suffering from sleeplessness. Avoid hot food, caffeine, sugar and alcohol at least 4 to 6 hours before your sleep time. Develop a regular exercise program. Proper exercise and nutrition will help improve sleeping patterns. However, avoid exercising 2 hours before sleeping, since this may stimulate your body and make sleeping more difficult.
Establish a pre-bedtime rule that will help you focus on sleep. You can try deep thought,reading or deep breathing and relaxation. Your bedtime rule should be yours. Do not worry about it fitting into a specific category. Do what is best for you.
Things such as room temperature, noise and light levels and even your bed mattress(床垫) can have a lot of effect on the quality of sleep that you experience. Block out distracting noises and lights. You are in your bedroom to sleep and not be distracted by environmental interferences.
【小题1】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.How to Deal with Sleep Problems |
