First of all, always check and double-check departure (起程) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. I once arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting. The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency (货币) with you when you arrive in a country. This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I flew there from London via (经由) Dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money!” the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing (令人难堪的). The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day. 1. According to the passage, it’s obvious that ______. A. the author learns some rules of travelling from his own and his workmates’ experiences B. the author doesn’t plan his trips or journeys carefully C. Englishmen like to wear heavy suits wherever they travel D. the American taxi driver never travels to England 2. According to the passage, the driver was angry because ______. A. the author gave him false money B. the author did not give him the local currency C. the author did not give him money D. the author had no enough change 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The author tells people to choose warm places as their travel destinations. B. You don’t have to take credit cards when travelling. C. You should know more about the weather of the place you’ll visit. D. You should take enough change when you travel to other countries. 4. What is the main idea of the passage? A. A few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey. B. Always check and double-check departure time. C. It is important to have the local currency with you when you arrive in a country. D. To find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. B Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. Well,there’s a kiosk (小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least. “You enter the fare gates (检票口) and you’ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit—known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.” It’s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the program was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we’ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.” Ridership on transit (交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. "At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,"she says. And you'll never be without something to read. 5. Why did BART start the kiosk program? A. To promote the local culture. B. To discourage phone use. C. To meet passengers' needs. D. To reduce its running costs. 6. How are the stories categorized in the kiosk? A. By popularity. B. By length. C. By theme. D. By language. 7. What has Trost been doing recently? A. Organizing a story contest. B. Doing a survey of customers. C. Choosing a print publisher. D. Conducting interviews with artists. 8. What is Trost’s opinion about BART’s future? A. It will close down. B. Its profits will decline, C. It will expand nationwide. D. Its ridership will increase. 六、应用文写作 假定你是李华，你校英语角拟举行一次英文演讲比赛，需要两名主持人（host)。你对此很感兴趣。请你用英语给外籍负责人布朗先生写一封自荐信，内容包括： 1.个人基本情况； 2.口语水平； 3.相关经验。 注意：1.词数80左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Dear Mr. Brown, I'm looking forward to your early reply. Yours, Li Hua 七、读后续写 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Eric, my husband, and I are enthusiastic hikers. We are attracted by the challenge and beauty of mountain trails(小路), especially those that lead to sites of historical and cultural significance. Our love for hiking began shortly after we were married, and it has been a passion of ours for many years. Last month, we visited a national park with the intention of hiking to a location known for its stone text. After many difficulties, we found only one site within the park was open to visitors. To enjoy the stone text in the mountains, we needed to finish a 2. 5-mile path, which started from the museum of the park. 2. 5 miles didn't sound like a very long hike. We were both just in our seventies but fairly fit, and we thought we could easily do 2. 5 miles.However, the worker in the museum warned us that the first mile of the path was steep(陡峭的)and rocky and that it could be very challenging. But we ignored her warning and made up our minds to go. “2. 5 miles is not a big deal. Surely, we could do it if we wear proper boots and start early tomorrow morning,"I whispered to my husband lightheartedly. The next morning, my husband and I got up early. Before starting our hike, we first reached a place that served breakfast.There, we found a family of three, a young man named Walter, his wife and sister.They would also take the path to watch the stone text. They were warm and friendly and we chatted happily for a while, Before they set off, Walter said that he would see us at the stairs, and we thought no more about it. Twenty minutes later, we also started hiking. The trail started well and it was pretty much downhill all the way. Then it became more and more challenging. The path became extremely steep and was blocked here and there by huge slippery (湿滑的）rocks, which made each step forward an adventure. 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 As we pushed on, the hike became even tougher. When Walter saw us, he rushed to help us. 参考答案 一、写作词汇 1. arise 2. highlight 3. bound 4. owe 5. proceed 5. scenery 7. peak 8. drill 9. thunder 10. curtain 二、拓展单词 1.pleased;pleasant;pleasure 2.anticipation 3.freezing;frozen 4. astonished;astonishing;astonishment 5. misty 三、课文词块 1. by commercial airline 2. the thought of crossing the whole country 2. take a boat ride 4. take a pleasant hike in a forest 5. exceptional beauty 6. the largest and wealthiest city in Canada 7. proceed to the next leg of their trip to Montreal 8. go on a tour of the city 9. at a restaurant in downtown Chinatown 10. a train trip across Canada 四、重点短语 1. take sb's breath away 2. a bunch of 3. contrary to 4.owe sth to sb 5. rather than 五、阅读理解 A 篇1-4ABCA B篇 5.C[推理判断题。根据第一段中的“but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed”及第二段中的“there's a kiosk for that”可知，BART推出这个项目是为了给乘客提供印刷类阅读材料，满足顾客的需要，故选C项。] 6.B[细节理解题。根据第三段中的“..you can geta one-minute, a three-minute, ot a five-minute story”和"You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”可知，故事的分类基于故事的长度，故选B项。] 7.A[细节理解题。根据第五段中的“we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest"和"And as of right now, we've received about 120 submissions.”可知，Trost组织了一个故事比赛。故选A项。] 8.D[观点态度题。根据倒数第二段可知，Trost相信通过改善乘客体验，比如提供短篇故事的自助服务亭，BART可以吸引更多的乘客。故选D项。] 六．应用文【参考范文】 Dear Mr. Brown, I've learned that two hosts are needed for the coming English speech contest. I'd like very much to be one of them. I'm Li Hua, a handsome boy of about 180cm in height. As a hard-working student, I have a good command of English, especially spoken English. I have won first prize in many English speech contests. What's more, I have been the host of English parties since I entered junior high school. It gave me much experience in hosting big events. So I believe I can do the job perfectly. I'm looking forward to your early reply. Yours, Li Hua 七、读后续写【参考范文】 As we pushed on, the hike became even tougher. The steep portions seemed endless, and each step required every ounce of our strength and concentration. Sweat trickled down our faces, and our legs felt like jelly. We paused frequently to catch our breath and steady ourselves on the uneven ground. In front of us, the jagged rocks and steep inclines tested our limits. Determined to reach the stone text, Eric and I encouraged each other, inching forward slowly but surely. When Walter saw us, he rushed to help us. Seeing our struggle, he offered his hand to Eric and supported him over a particularly tricky section."Take it slow,we've got this," Walter smiled reassuringly. With his assistance, we navigated the final stretch of the challenging path. Finally, we stood before the magnificent stone text, filled with a sense of accomplishment and gratitude. The view was breathtaking, and the hike, though arduous, was undoubtedly worth every step. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
