It’s a chance to sit down among a mostly local crowd and order a coffee. Lusaka, Zambia Getting around: Taxis are affordable. This city is known for Victoria Falls. Small shops are lit at night, and they sell everything from newspapers to soft drinks. On the way, there is the outdoor Mingling Bar, where customers can enjoy a can of Original American Cola.

The roads are dusty in the part of Abidjan, but like many cities where living spaces are small, Abidjan lives its life on its streets. Just to the east of Yopougon is the Plateau, the business area. This area’s modernist building is great and mostly the result of a cocoa-and coffee-based economic development in the 1950s and 1960s. Dakar, Senegal Getting around: Taxis are plentiful.

It tells fuel costs, allows for drivers to plan friendly routes to their particular vehicles and lets the users cooperate (合作) with friends who are also on the road. HotelTonight Travelers sometimes don’t know exactly where they’re going to be at the end of the day, so they can’t book the hotels ahead of time.

It’s because they’re using an app like RoadWarrior to plan their routes (路线) to be as good as possible. However, while many other route planning apps only take things like traffic into account, RoadWarrior includes lots of other time-wasting details. GasBuddy Gas prices are high at present, so travelers are naturally focused on finding the lowest rates whenever possible. GasBuddy is one of the most popular apps for finding affordable gas, especially on long road trips. Like many apps, there is a free version (版本), as well as a paid version with $10 per year for added features. RoadTrippers For people who aren’t totally focused on getting from point A to point B in the fastest time possible, the RoadTrippers app is a must-have. Users can plan their trip from start to finish with as many as 150 stops for them to choose from along the way, which costs $29.99 per year. It won’t let you miss the famous scenic spots. It tells fuel costs, allows for drivers to plan friendly routes to their particular vehicles and lets the users cooperate (合作) with friends who are also on the road. HotelTonight Travelers sometimes don’t know exactly where they’re going to be at the end of the day, so they can’t book the hotels ahead of time. Fortunately, there are apps designed to help travelers get cheap last-minute hotel deals. One of the best is HotelTonight, which allows the users to search for the hotels available tonight in a given area at a low price, and it includes additional discounts. 1.

They are devoted largely or entirely to the work of just one person. And they are the artists’ birthplaces or onetime homes. Here are four examples of such museums. Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum The name Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944) might not be familiar, but several of the artist’s sculptures (雕塑) are, especially those related to Native Americans. A good example is his “Appeal to the Great Spirit” standing in front of the Museum of Fine Arts. Born in Utah, he lived in Arlington for the final four decades of his life. The museum is in the Jefferson Cutter House, an 1830 Greek styled building. Norman Rockwell Museum Rockwell (1894-1978) was America’s well-known artist. The museum, founded in 1969, moved into its present location, Robert A.M. Stern-designed building in 1993. Its 998 paintings and drawings are the largest single collection of Rockwell's artworks. Kids 16 and under: free; adults: $20; the old: at a 10% discount (折扣) Edward Gorey House Edward Gorey (1925-2000) was an artist, but he was also an author and clothes designer. Gorey bought this 18th-century house in 1979 and lived there for the rest of his life. Edward Gorey House is also known as the Elephant House. Gorey had respect for animals. The activities of the house, from art education to exhibits, show Gorey's support of animal well-being. Gibert Stuart Birthplace and Museum Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828) is responsible for what may well be the most familiar work of any American artist, His drawing of George is the basis of the first president’s portrait (画像) on the dollar. Stuart painted more than a thousand portraits throughout his life. 1. What do we know about Cyrus E. Dallin? A. He built the Jefferson Cutter House. B. He lived in Arlington for half a century. C. He was best known for his Greek styled sculptures. D. He created famous works related to Native Americans. 2. How much will an old couple pay to enter Norman Rockwell Museum? A. $36. B. $40. C. $60. D. $72. 3. Where can visitors learn some history of American money? A. Edward Gorey House. B. Norman Rockwell Museum. C. Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum. D. Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum. 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇应用文。广告介绍了New England的四个博物馆，它们大部分或全部奉献出一个人的作品，是艺术家们的出生地或者曾经的家。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据小标题Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum下列段落中“The name Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944) might not be familiar, but several of the artist’s sculptures (雕塑) are, especially those related to Native Americans. (Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944)这个名字可能不太熟悉，但这位艺术家的几件雕塑很熟悉，尤其是那些与印第安人有关的雕塑)”可知，Cyrus E. Dallin创作了与印第安人有关的著名作品。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据小标题Norman Rockwell Museum下列条目“Kids 16 and under: free; adults: $20; the old: at a 10% discount (16岁及以下儿童：免费；成人：20美元；老人：打九折)”可知，两个老人是成人所需要的40美元打九折，为36美元。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据Gibert Stuart Birthplace and Museum下列段落中“Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828) is responsible for what may well be the most familiar work of any American artist, His drawing of George is the basis of the first president’s portrait(画像) on the dollar. (Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828)创作了美国艺术家最熟悉的作品，他所画的George是第一任总统美元肖像画的基础)”可知，美元上的George肖像是以Gilbert Stuart作品为基础的，所以游客们在Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum可以了解到一些美国货币的历史。故选D项。 Passage 3 （23-24高一上·河南林州·期末） North American Train Routes for a Family Vacation The Adirondack Considered one of the top ten scenic train rides in the world, the Adirondack train route travels from New York City’s Penn Station to Montreal, Canada.
