题目内容

  One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know,you would be submerged(淹没)in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.

  The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive. We look forward to going there again！Of course，we spent lots of time arranging the trip，but it was well worth it！Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa,but everything went quite smoothly in the end.

  The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. In the Italian consulate(领事馆)，one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in or?der to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a ho?tel about thirty km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.

  Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome. Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest，was a rare gift for the fresh air and absolute silence，beautiful views， hospitable(好客的)hosts, comfortable living conditions delighted us to no end. Besides this,we were very lucky that our mistress was English. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.

  Don't be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It's not difficult！The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide?book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times. So,if you're also planning a "single" trip,don't forget to take an English-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue. (   ) 5. What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip?

A.     Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before the traveling.

B.     Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate.

C.     Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome.

D.     Solving the ticket problem far in advance.

(   ) 6. In the fourth paragraph the author mainly explains      

A.     the reason why he chose to live in the center of Rome

B.     the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice

C.     what transport they chose to travel in their Italian trip

D.     the reason why the mistress gave them some advice

(   ) 7. Which of the following questions has NOT been answered in the passage?

A.     Why did the author decide to go to Italy for a holiday for the first time?

B.     Why did the author decide not to follow a travel agency?

C.     How did the author prepare for his trip?

D.     What tools did the author use for his traveling?
(   ) 8. From the text we can know the author      

A.     enjoys traveling everywhere in the world

B.     likes being accompanied by tour guides

C.     advises us to arrange trips by ourselves

D.     met with a lot of his countrymen in Italy

5-8 BBAC

B篇讲述了作者和朋友去意大利旅游的准备过程及旅游经历。

5. B细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句"The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation."可知，最难的事情是在没有邀请函的情况下向意大利大使馆申请签证。因此，选择B项。A、C、D项虽然文中都涉及了，但是都不符合题干。

6. B主旨大意题。根据第四段对旅馆周围环境、交通情况以及住该旅馆的好处的介绍，可知作者在第四段主要讲对旅馆满意的原因。

7. A事实判断题。文章第一段第二句讲述了他们不愿意随旅行团出游的原因，排除B项;文章第二 、三两段讲述作者的准备工作，所以排除C;根据最后一段的"We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted..." 知D项已有答案。纵观全文，作者并没有提到他为什么去意大利旅游的原因。

8. C逻辑推理题根据文章的主要内容，尤其是第一段说不想淹没在旅游团拥挤的人群中，也不想错过更多亲近意大利的机会，以及最后一段的"Don't be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself."可以推断出应该选择C项。其余选项没有依据。

  The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one： Another Beldon Hotel Catches Fire .

  Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing，bedclothes and some furni?ture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, "An electric lamp probably started the fire.
