【题目】Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.

AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost ￡ 169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost ￡ 118.15.

If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid — or you're looking for a big event to pass your time — check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.

STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.

Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was ￡95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was ￡75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡62.95.

LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a selfcatering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, available for ￡420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.

GET ON A BIKE London's ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.

Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around ￡ 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡ 5 per day)．

【1】【1】“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably ________.

A. a hotel away from the train station

B. the tube line to Covent Garden

C. an ideal holiday destination

D. the name of a travel agency

【2】【2】The passage shows that the O'Neill Flat ________.

A. lies on the ground floor

B. is located in central London

C. provides cooking facilities for tourists

D. costs over ￡ 100 on average per day in late September

【3】【3】Cardiff’s program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ________.

A. half an hour B. one hour

C. one hour and a half D. two hours

【4】【4】The main purpose of the passage is to ________.

A. tell visitors how to book in advance

B. supply visitors with hotel information

C. show visitors the importance of selfhelp

D. offer visitors some moneysaving tips

【答案】

【1】【1】A

【2】【2】C

【3】【3】A

【4】【4】D

【解析】试题分析：文章主要介绍了到英国旅游时一些省钱的方法。

【1】【1】词义猜测题。根据此段的标题STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION可知，本段讲住宿要远离车站，而作者列举Farringdon的双人间价格非常便宜，因此可以推断Farringdon是一个离车站比较远的宾馆。故选A。

【2】【2】细节理解题。根据第六段中的“As an alternative consider checking into a selfcatering flat with its own kitchen.”可知，它是一个能为游客提供有厨房的公寓。故选C。

【3】【3】细节理解题。根据文章最后一句中的“Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡ 5 per day).”可知，Cardiff能提供30分钟的自行车免费租用时间。故选A。

【4】【4】写作目的题。文章主要介绍了在英国旅游时一些省钱的方法，因此D项是最佳选项。故选D。

练习册系列答案

The Pew Research Center report asked thousands of experts and members of the public for opinions on “the most significant overall influences of our uses of the Internet on humanity” — and some had a rosier outlook than others.

“The smartest person in the world nowadays could well be stuck behind a plough in India or China，” said Hal, Google's chief economist.“Enabling that person — and the millions like him or her — will have a strong effect on the development of the human race.”

Early Internet pioneer David Hughes agreed: “When every person on this planet can communicate twoway with every other person on this planet, the power of nation states to control every human inside its geographic boundaries may start to disappear.”

Wearables (electronic equipment that people can wear) could monitor more than just steps, predicted UC Berkeley's Aron Roberts — or do more than just monitor: “We may literally be able to adjust both medications and lifestyle changes on a daybyday basis or even an hourbyhour basis.”

Microsoft Research's Jonathan Grudin is more pessimistic (悲观的): “By making so much activity visible, it exposes the gap between the way people behave and the way we think they ought to behave.Adjusting to this will be an unending, difficult task.”

And the difference between the rich and the poor will have a new aspect: “Only the welloff (and welleducated) will know how to preserve their privacy，” warned one expert.“Will the Internet make it possible for our entire civilization to fall down together, in one big awful step? Possibly，” admitted Harvard's Doctor Searles.“But the Internet has already made it possible for us to use one of our unique advantages — the ability to share knowledge — to a degree higher than ever before.”

【1】According to Hal, in the future, those who will influence the development of human race are________．

A. Google's economists B. Chinese and Indians

C. the educated persons D. world leading experts

【2】People will be able to change their lifestyles at any time according to________．

A. the development of communication skills

B. the suggestions made by computer experts

C. the prediction made by the home computers

D. the data recorded by the computers worn on body

【3】The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 6 refers to________．

A. the visible activities mentioned above

B. the way we thought they ought to behave

C. the way people really behave in life

D. the rule people ought to obey in life

【4】Which of the following can best express the meaning of the last paragraph?

A. Advantages and disadvantages of the Internet.

B. Development of the Internet and human beings.

C. Knowledge and civilization of human beings.

D. Possibilities of the Internet for the future users.
