试题分析:这是一篇关于去英国肯特郡旅游的文章。文章是以一个旅行团的角度来展开的,介绍了这一旅行团的一些优势和旅途的详细情况。
【1】推理判断题。由第一段“Come with us to the “Garden of England” and enjoy the best sight that the County of Kent can offer us.”和我们一起去英格兰的后花园——肯特郡,去享受它带给我们的极致风景,可知,游客只是享受肯特郡的风景而不是全英国的。故选项A排除。由第三段最后一句“the most beautiful castle(城堡)in England—Leeds Castle.”可知,利兹城堡是英格兰最美丽的城堡,但是并没有说是最古老的,故选项B排除。由第六段第一句“On all tours we will pick you up between 7:25 am and 7:45 am at YOUR chosen London Zone 1 location”可知,在旅途中,我们将在早上7点25——7点45这段时间里把您送去伦敦一区的任何您所选的地方,而不是去英国的任何地方,故选项D错误。由第三段第一句“We’ll travel on through some of the country roads of Kent only in mini tourist coaches”可知,我们旅途只能乘坐迷你旅游客车经过肯特郡的一些道路,所以选项C正确。故选C。
【2】细节理解题。由文中第五段“Prices: Adult—55.00; Under16— 50.00; A 10% off for a family”可知,一个成人的票价为55英镑,16岁以下的青少年票价为50英镑,全家一起可以有10%的折扣。所以the Greens是两个成年人,票价为110英镑,加上一个10岁的儿子,票价为50英镑,总共是160英镑。因为是全家人一起,所以有10%的折扣,160-160×10%=144,最后总共应,144英镑。故选B。
【3】细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段“Call Anderson Tours direct at 020 7436 9304 (Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-18:00 p.m.)”可知,旅行社的咨询电话为020 7436 9304,时间为星期一——星期五,上午8点——下午6点。只有选项D:星期三下午5点符合。故选D。
【4】主旨大意题。文章主要在介绍他们这个旅行团的一些情况和好处,所以这篇文章是为了吸引更多的人加入他们的旅行团。故选A。
【题目】请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
The expression,“ everybody’s doing it,” is very much at the center of the concept of peer pressure. It is a strong influence of a group, especially of children, on members of that group to behave as everybody else does. It can be positive or negative. Most people experience it in some way during their lives.
People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly surprising that part of their self-respect comes from the approval of others. This instinct (天性) is why the approval of peers, or the fear of disapproval, is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. It is the same instinct that drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer “fine” when a stranger asks“ how are you?” even if it is not necessarily true. There is a practical aspect to this: it helps society to function efficiently, and encourages a general level of self-discipline that simplifies day-to-day interaction.
For certain individuals, seeking social acceptance is so important that it becomes like an addiction; in order to satisfy the desire, they may go so far as to abandon their sense of right and wrong. Teens and young adults may feel forced to use drugs, or join gangs that encourage criminal behavior. Mature adults may sometimes feel pressured to cover up illegal activity at the company where they work, or end up in debt because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in an effort to“ keep up with the Joneses”.
However, peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends are good at academics may be urged to study harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of influence can also get a friend off drugs, or to help an adult take up a good habit or drop a bad one. Study groups and class projects are examples of positive peer groups that encourage people to better themselves.
Schools try to teach kids about the dangers of negative peer pressure. They teach kids to stand up and be themselves, and encourage them to politely decline to do things that they believe are wrong. Similarly, it can be helpful to encourage children to greet the beneficial influence of positive peer groups.
