题目内容

【题目】Though the last book of the spectacular (壮观的) Harry Potter series was released seven years ago in 2007, the young wizard continues to be extremely popular with both kids and adults. Over the years, Harry Potter fans have been able to experience numerous aspects of the young wizard’s life, right down to his favorite drink — butter beer. Now thanks to a British hotel, they can also spend a night in the wizard’s Hogwarts Castle dormitory room.

The four-star Georgian Hotel in Central London, which recently opened its two wizard chambers(房间), is ideally suited to reproducing J.K. Rowling’s school of wizardry (巫术). That’s because the hotel, which is still run by the descendants of the original owners, dates all the way back to 1851. It still remains its original styles inside.

According to the owner of the 163-year-old Georgian Hotel, the idea originated as a way to create a kid-friendly environment in a hotel that is well-known for its Victoria Classic and Belgravia Boutique rooms.

The wizard chambers that have been refinished to resemble the Hogwarts Castle dormitory rooms are furnished with everything a wizard fan could think of — four-poster beds, stone wash basins, potion bottles, cauldrons (汽锅，大锅), spelling books and even study tables. In order to make them appear even more magical, the hotel owners have added their own special touches that include placing a wand in the hand of the Mona Lisa painting that is in one of the chambers.

As you may have guessed, these unique accommodations are not cheap. The rooms, breakfast included, cost about $350 for two people. Kids sharing the same room pay only an additional $40 each. Given that the big wizard chamber can contain up to five people, the overall cost is perfect for families that are all Harry Potter fans. Special packages include a Muggle Walking Tour that takes Harry Potter fans through the areas of the city where parts of the movies were filmed or a visit to Warner Brothers Studio, home of the Harry Potter films’ sets and props (道具).

The hotel is certainly generating a lot of buzz among Harry Potter fans!

【1】How long does the Georgian Hotel exist?

A. It has been existing in London for three hundred years..

B. It has a history of more than 160 years.

C. It has been there since 2007.

D. It has been visited by the Harry Potter fans since 1851.

【2】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?.

A. The hotel opening two wizard chambers originated as a way to create a kid-friendly environment.

B. All of the books of the spectacular (壮观的) Harry Potter series were released seven years ago in 2007.

C. As you may have guessed, these unique accommodations are very cheap.

D. The wizard chambers aren’t furnished as a wizard fan could think of.

【3】If Mr Green and his wife with three children want to stay in the hotel for a night, how much should they pay?

A. $ 350. B. $ 390. C. $ 430. D. $ 470.

【4】The best title of the passage is _______.

A. Stay in the magical Harry Potter rooms

试题分析：这篇文章介绍了人们在哈里波特这本书出版七年以后，有人又给人们带来了新的惊喜——在伦敦一家按照哈里波特小说中布置的旅馆开张了，哈里波特的粉丝们可以在这里体验到他们所崇拜的人的生活，无论是成人还是孩子。如果你是他们中的一员，你是否也想体验一下呢？

【1】B细节理解题：根据第二段中的That’s because the hotel, which is still run by the descendants of the original owners, dates all the way back to 1851和第三段中的According to the owner of the 163-year-old Georgian Hotel，可知这家旅馆已经有一百六十多年的历史了，故选B。

【2】A细节理解题：根据第二段中的The four-star Georgian Hotel in Central London, which recently opened its two wizard chambers和第三段中的the idea originated as a way to create a kid-friendly environment in a hotel可知A项正确。根据第一段中的the last book of the spectacular (壮观的) Harry Potter series was released seven years ago in 2007，可知B项不正确。根据第五段中的As you may have guessed, these unique accommodations are not cheap.可知C项不正确。根据第四段中的The wizard chambers that have been refinished to resemble the Hogwarts Castle dormitory rooms are furnished with everything a wizard fan could think of可知D项不正确，故选A。

【3】D细节题： 根据第五段中的The rooms, breakfast included, cost about $350 for two people. Kids sharing the same room pay only an additional $40 each.可知$350是两个人的费用，孩子们分享同一个房间的话，每个孩子只需要付$ 40即可，3乘以40再加上350一共是470，故答案选D。

【4】A 主旨大意题：从文章中我们可以了解到由于有了这样的一个旅馆人们可以去住上一宿，体验哈里波特的神奇，来满足崇拜哈里波特的那些人的好奇心。故A项中的内容符合要求，所以选A。

All the wisdom of the ages, all the stories that have delighted mankind for centuries, are easily and cheaply available to all of us within the covers of books but we must know how to avail ourselves of this treasure and how to get the most from it. The most unfortunate people in the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.

Reading is pleasure of the mind, which means that it is a little like a sport: your eagerness and knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Reading is fun, not because the writer is telling you something, but because it makes your mind work. Your own imagination works along with the author's or even goes beyond his. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.

Every book stands by itself, like a one family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Although they are separate, together they all add up to something, they are connected with each other and with other cities. The same ideas, or related ones, turn up in different places; the human problems that repeat themselves in life repeat themselves in literature, but with different solutions according to different writings at different times. Books influence each other; they link the past, the present and the future and have their own generations, like families. Wherever you start reading you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and in the long run, you not only find out about the world and the people in it; you find out about yourself, too.

Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you “ought” to read, you probably won't have fun. But if you put down a book you don't like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time — and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you won't have suffered during the process.

①finding out about the world;

Some students say that they prefer to buy products promoted by stars because of most of the stars care about the quality of the product they are going to advertise.Besides, buying those products is a way to support the stars they like.

【题目】Part-time jobs for 15 and 16 years olds

Waiter / Waitress

A job as a waiter or waitress is a good choice for 16-year-olds. Not only can one earn $9-$12 an hour, but they can also get the tips (小费). Most people that visit a restaurant don’t just have good food. They come here to relax and have a good time. Besides serving food quickly, a young waiter who talks to them politely with a smile on his face will make the diners enjoy their time at the restaurant.

Work in a library

If one is fond of books, working in a library is another suitable choice. Besides the pay is good, it offers a lot of free time when students can actually sit down and finish their homework.

【题目】Researchers are placing robotic dogs (机器狗) in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people’s depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction. “No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated (刺激),” Edwards points out. “The problem is how we promote (使……成为现实) that, especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.”

In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.

“I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “When I’m watching TV, he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”

The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.

“At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog, because it was metal and not furry, ” Beck says. “But it’s amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.”

“Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper. They will record their masters’ blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people’s minds. ”

【1】The purpose of Beck and Edwards’ study is to __________.

A. understand human-animal relationship

B. make lonely old people’s life better

C. find the causes of old people’s loneliness

D. promote the animal-assisted research

【2】In the research, the old people are asked to ____________.

A. note the activities of AIBOs

B. keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks

C. record their feelings and activity.

D. analyze the collected information

【3】What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?

A. It is easier to keep at home.

B. It can help the disabled people.

C. It responds to all the human orders.

D. It can watch TV with its owner.

【4】The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may _____________.

A. cure certain diseases

B. keep old people active

C. change people’s beliefs

D. look more like real dogs
