A
When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car, before
they left, they asked me about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at "bed
and breakfast" houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to
speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some
funny stories.
"We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses, "they said .“Because we found that most families
were away on holiday .”
I thought this was strange . Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little
English, and they thought “VACANCIES" meant "holidays" because Spanish word for "holiday" is
"vacaciones" they did not go to houses where the sign outside said "VACANCIES", which in
English me ant there are free rooms. Then my friends went to houses where the sign said “NO
VACANCIES", because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on
holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, a
word very similar to “DIVERSION” means fun. In English it means that workman is repairing the
road, and that you must take a different road when my friends saw the word “DIVERSION" on a
road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when
someone offered me some more coffee, I said "Thank you" in French. I meant that I would like some
more. However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you" in
French means “No, thank you”.

B
When we found him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we
reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked
unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again. After we got him out, we went back to find
the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest,
within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the
cars going by or see the lights at night. We found him just in time.
This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What
had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, if he had made a few
preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path.
Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it's still largely a question of observation. A
skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes the shape of a mountain, the
direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind,
he is still likely to turn around many times, but he is seldom lost.There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange
problem that puts him into the "lost" situation. A rainstorm may catch him without a compass in his
pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.
When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his
poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause
his friends when he doesn't show up. This false pride may lead him to keep on the move in a false
effort to find his way against all difficulties.
The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He'll be safe if he observes carefully,
thinks ahead, and remains calm.
16. The writer suggested that if the man had not been found, _______.
A. he would have been shot by a gun
B. he would have become confused
C. he would have been attacked by wild animals
D. he would have been in great danger
17. According to the text, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very beginning, _______.
A. he will worry about being laughed at
B. he will push himself to find his way out
C. he will feel sorry that he didn't prepare well enough
D. he will feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friends
18. What is the most important when a person tries to find his way in the woods?
A. Intelligence. B. Observation. C. Direction. D. Chance.
19. The writer tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who______.
A. go into the woods by themselves
B. keep their head when they are in trouble
C. are frightened when they think they are lost
D. don't know how to signal for help properly
20. What is probably the best title for the passage?
A. A Man Lost in the Woods
B. Timely Rescue in the Woods
C. Don't Panic When Lost in the Woods
D. A Pathfinder in the Woods
C
Sydney is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and the 2000 Olympic games put it on the
map as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world. Any trip to Sydney is an adventure
and with some of the world’s beautiful beaches, this city has so much to offer. Sydney is so large
an area that choosing a hotel is something you need to do very carefully. Public transport is good, but it can be slow and being close to where you want to be is probably the most important factor.
The first and most obvious choice is hotels around Circular Quay. Circular Quay is the heart of
the city and one of the major interchanges where trains, buses and ferries meet. It’s also where
Sydney’s two most famous landmarks are located — the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney
Harbor Bridge. This area is active and offers some of the best views you will ever get from a hotel
room.
The farther hotels in the city are much more suited to business travelers and they are usually less
expensive. Daring Harbor is a great choice as it mixes a great view with being right in the center of
the city. Darling Harbor has hundreds of pubs, clubs and restaurants along the water’s edge.
If you don’t feel like dealing with the hustle and bustle of the city and are looking for something
a bit quieter, why not head out to the Northern Beaches? It’s only a short ferry ride over to Manly
where you can find two major hotels on the beach with a number of smaller boutiques (时装店，精
品店).
21. What made Sydney famous as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world?
A. Its traditional culture. B. its beaches and hotels.
C. The traffic system. D. The 2000 Olympics.
22. We may know from the passage that ____________.
A. traveling to Sydney is boring
B. Sydney’s public transport is fast
C. hotels in Manly are the cheapest in Sydney
D. you can enjoy good views in Circular Quay
23.If you want to live in a quiet hotel and buy some fashionable clothes or expensive gifts, you
should choose one in __________ .
A. Circular Quay B. Darling Harbor
C. Manly D. Sydney Harbor Bridge
24. The underlined part “hustle and bustle” in the last paragraph may refer to _________.
A. hot climate B. serious pollution
C. busy noisy activities D. slow-moving traffic
25. The passage is mainly to _____________.
A. advertise the hotels in Sydney
B. tell us how to choose a suitable hotel in Sydney
C. show that Sydney is truly heaven on earth
D. describe Sydney after 2000 Olympic

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余
选项。
It happens every night—bedtime. But what if you’re not sleepy? Should you still go to bed and
just lie there with your eyes wide open? 26 But don’t worry. Here are some steps you can
take to help you fall asleep.
One thing that can help is talking to a parent about what you’re thinking about at bedtime. For
example, if you’re nervous about taking a test, or upset about being teased at school, it can really
help to tell somebody. 27 .
28 If there’s anything about your room that makes you feel uneasy or anxious at night,
like a picture that looks strange in the dark, or a leaking bathroom tap, ask your parent to move or fix it. Make sure electronics are kept away from your bed as their lights and noise can make it harder for
you to fall asleep.
If you’re often nervous around bedtime, doing certain things to calm yourself may help you fall
asleep. Taking a warm bath, or listening to a bedtime story at least 30 minutes before bed may help
you relax. It also helps to follow a bedtime routine and go to sleep at the same time every night.
29 .
In order to find the right solution for you, it’s important that you understand what exactly is
keeping you up at night. 30 Your body will thank you for the effort.
A. Knowing that somebody has heard you can help ease your mind so that you can rest.
B. Calming music played at a low volume can help the stress flow out of your body.
C. It’s a problem that has been around as long as there have been people trying to sleep.
D. Take the time to think about the problem carefully.
E. Sleeping in a comfortable bed in a quiet and cool room is ideal.
F. But what works for others may not necessarily work for you.
G. In this way, your body will get the message that it’s almost time to sleep.
