mainly to show big events may Ahelp travelers pass timeBattract lots of travelers to the UKCallow travelers to make flexible plansDcause travelers to pay more for acmodationD推理判斷題。題干關(guān)鍵詞為：The Brighton edy Festival，定位第二段。根據(jù)句子The Brighton edy Festival cost169.15.A week later，the same room cost118.15，可以得知，主要是為了說明在有大事期間游客付費更高一些。干擾項排除：C項提及flexible ，但是指如果游客時間靈活的話，根據(jù)具體情況而定，故選D。2“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably Aa hotel away from the train stationBthe tube line to Covent GardenCan ideal holiday destinationDthe name of a travel agencyA推理判斷題。題干已經(jīng)明確告知第五段，所以，直接在第五段找答案。文中提及at Farringdon, a double room cost just62.95；再看前兩個句子，只因為距離車站的距離不同，價格相差很大，從75.75到95.95，可知兩個信息：Farringdon首先是旅館；其次是相對來說離車站較遠(yuǎn)，故選A。3The main purpose of the passage is Ato tell visitors how to book in advanceBto supply visitors with hotel informationCto offer visitors some moneysaving tipsDto show visitors the importance of selfhelpC推理判斷題?；氐轿恼麻_頭，Here we help with ways to cut your costs不難看出答案，故選C。BThis year some twentythree hundred teenagers (young people aged from 1319) from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes.They will attend US schools，meet US teenagers，and form impressions of the real America.At the same time，about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.Here is a twoway student exchange in action.Fred，nineteen，spent last year in Germany with Georges family.In turn，Georges son Mike spent a year in Freds home in America.Fred，a lively young man，knew little German when he arrived，but after two months study the language began to e to him.School was pletely different from what he had expectedmuch harder.Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room.They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that were usual in the United States.There were almost no outside activities.Family life，too，was different.The fathers word was law，and all activities were around the family rather than the individual.Fred found the food too simple at first.Also，he missed having a car.“Back home，you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time.In Germany，you walk，but you soon learn to like it.”At the same time，in America，Mike，a friendly German boy，was also forming his idea.“I suppose I should criticize American schools，”he said.“It is far too easy by our level.But I have to say that I like it very much.In Germany we do nothing but study.Here we take part in many outside activities.I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens.There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”【語篇解讀】本文介紹了一種不同國家青少年參與的交換生活動。通過此活動可以感受到不同國家之間的文化差異。4The whole exchange program is mainly to Ahelp teenagers in other countries know the real AmericaBsend students in America to travel in GermanyClet students learn something about other countriesDhave teenagers learn new languagesC細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二、三句話“They will attend US schools.American teenagers will go to other countries.”說明這個計劃是讓年輕人了解其他國家的文化等知識，故C正確。5What is particular in American schools?AThere is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.BThere are a lot of outside activities.CStudents usually take 14 subjects in all.DStudents go outside to enjoy themselves in a car.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段倒數(shù)第三句“Here we take part in many outside activities.”可知，在美國的學(xué)校里有很多的戶外活動，故B正確。6What did Mike think after experiencing the American school life?AA better education should include something good from both America and Germany.BGerman schools trained students to be better citizens.CAmerican schools were not as good as German schools.DThe easy life in the American school was more helpful to students.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一句“There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”可知，他認(rèn)為要從兩種教育體系中找出好的方面，并把二者結(jié)合在一起。故A正確。7Whats Mikes attitude towards American education?APraise.BRegret.CIgnore.DAccuse (批評)D觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)最后一段中“It is far too easy by our level.”可推斷，他認(rèn)為美國的教育太容易了，故持批評的態(tài)度，故D項正確。CThe appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects. Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement. For example, some advertisers have appealed to peoples desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage. Some of the products work. Others are worthless and a waste of consumers money.Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading.A few years ago, a brand of bread was offered to dieters with the message that there were fewer calories in every slice. It turned out that the bread was not dietetic, but just regular bread. There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin, but there was the same number of calories in every loaf.On the positive side, emotional appeals may respond to a consumers real concerns. Consider fire insurance. Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people. If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising.Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation. Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers.But it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.【語篇解讀】廣告的吸引力有積極影響也有消極影響，但買不買商品最終決定權(quán)在消費者手中。8Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by Astressing their high qualityBconvincing him of their low priceCmaintaining a balance between quality and price Dappealing to his buying motivesD推理判斷題。從第一段看出，廣告能說服人購買沒有價值的產(chǎn)品就是因為它能投其所好，抓住消費者的購買心理。所以選D。9The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that Athin slices of bread could contain more calories Bthe loaf was cut into regular slicesCthe bread was not genuine breadDthe total number of calories in the loaf remained the sameD細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第二段舉了一個消費者被誤導(dǎo)的例子。由本段最后一句可知，面包廣告誤導(dǎo)了消費者就是因為整條面包的熱量總數(shù)并未減少。10The passage tells us that Asometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needsBadvertisements occasionally force consumers into buying things they dont needCthe buying motives of consumers are controlled by advertisementsDfire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investmentA推理判斷題。文章開篇的觀點就是，廣告既有消極的一面又有積極的一面。第三段舉例說明了廣告的積極性就在于它能滿足消費者的真正需求。11It can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should Athink carefully about the benefits described in the advertisementsBguard against the deceiving nature of advertisementsCbe familiar with various advertising strategiesDavoid buying products that have strong emotional appealA推理判斷題。廣告的目的是吸引消費者，但不能強迫消費者購買，最終的選擇權(quán)還是在消費者手里。因此選A。DThe most important thing to being rich is for you to have a mindset(心態(tài)) to want to bee rich.The reason I say that is that I wanted to bee rich when I played Monopoly (強手棋)The greatest formula (公式) for wealth was found on that board game.Then my poor dad said，“Ah，put the game away.Study，study，study！Youre wasting your time playing.”While my rich dad said，“You must open your mind and see the formula right on Monopoly.”I wondered “Whats the formula？”And finally I learned the formula was：four green houses，a red hotel.Today Im a rich man because all I ever did since that time was buying four green houses，selling them all，buying a red hotel，four green houses.You must have an open mindset.If you have an open mindset you will learn from everything；if not，you will learn from nothing.So I think that is the most important thing.I dont have a salary；I only have a job for four years in my life.I dont want a salary.What the middle class and the poor want is high ine and money.But they have no wealth because they have no assets (資產(chǎn))You must know the difference between money and wealth.Money will never make you rich.Wealth makes you rich.I have large panies，lots of stocks，real estate.Thats what makes me rich，so the money just es in whether I work or not.Bill Gates only makes $500，000 a year and I make more than him，but hes worth $ 20 billion.Im trying to tell you there is a very big difference between money and wealth.So I have spent my life buying assets.Thats what makes you rich，not a job.The reason the rich in America get richer is that they pass this on to their kids.My poor dad always said，“High paying job, high paying job，high paying job.”And my rich dad said，“Assets，assets，assets.”Thats the difference.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇議論文，作者通過“窮爸爸”和“富爸爸”對自己玩“強手棋”(又名“大富豪”)這一游戲的不同看法和指導(dǎo)，來說明“錢”和“富有”的不同，從而證明變富有的秘密就是一種想變富的開明心態(tài)。12Whats the most important factor of being rich?AA good salary.BPlaying Monopoly.CWorking hard.DAn open mindset.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一句話可知，心態(tài)是很重要的，又根據(jù)第二段最后三句話可知所謂的心態(tài)是“an open mindset”。故選D。13According to the author，if you are rich，you must have AmoneyBhigh inesCassetsDbig housesC細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段可知，money不能使你富有，而wealth能使你富有，而作者擁有的財富就是公司、股票、房地產(chǎn)等。故選C。14The author became rich because Ahe started his career according to the formulaBhe has a rich dadChe has always been working hardDhe developed the game MonopolyA推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，作者悟出了能使自己富有的公式，然后他就按照這一公式發(fā)展自己的事業(yè)，從而變得富有。故選A。15The author uses the example of Bill Gates Ato show Bill Gates is the richest manBto explain wealth is different from moneyCto emphasize the importance of a rich dadDto explain a good job is of no useB細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段，作者引用了比爾蓋茨每年掙50萬美元，但擁有200億美元的財富這一例子，來說明錢和財富之間是有差別的。.閱讀七選五(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)How to Do ManontheStreet InterviewsThe manonthestreet interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot. 16 but with these tips，your first manonthestreet interview experience can be easy.When your boss or professor sends you out to do manonthestreet interviews for a story，think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it.For example，if your topic is about environmental problems in America，you might ask，“Why do you think environmental protection is important in America？” 17 Hit the streets with confidence. 18 Say，“Excuse me，I work for XYZ News，and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic.”This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera.Dont get discouraged. 19 Each interview that you get on the street shouldnt be longer than ten minutes.As soon as you get the answer you need，move on to the next person.Make sure that as you go from interview to interview，you are getting a variety of answers.If everyone is giving you the same answer，you wont be able to use it.A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. 20 If your news
