20.Canyoning (蹦谷运动)
The sports of canyoning explore the high-energy environment where water meets rock on the coast,or in river canyons.Protected by wetsuits and helmets (头盔),people jump from cliffs (悬崖) and waterfalls and explore caves and river canyons that would not normally be arrived at.
It was pioneered in the U.K.by TYF Adventure (01437 721611,www.tyf.com) and several thousand people leap from the cliffs near St David's each year.A half day canyoning trip costs£50 (£30for children under 16).
Scuba diving
Diving is not popular with British people.The challenges of wild waters are greater because the water is colder and not clear enough,but the coasts of Cornwall,Wales and Scotland have some of the best wreck diving in the world.
The British Sub Aqua Club (0870 112 9133www.bsac.com) and the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (01580 819688www.padi.com) run courses teaching the important skills right up and to instructor level.
Surfing
The best surfing places in the UK are on the southwest coast where it is warmer and the surf is relatively steady,particularly in Cornwall.The best time of year to surf in the UK is late summer and autumn when water temperatures are at their mildest.
The British Surfing Association (01479 861256www.britsurf.co.uk) has a list of famous surf schools around the country.
Rock climbing
The most popular natural rocks in Britain include the Peak District,the Lake District,coastal regions,while vast areas of Scotland are a climber's paradise (天堂).Climbing courses and climbing walls can be located on the website of the British Mountaineering Council (0870 010 4878,www.thebmc.co.uk) which offers a series of short films that take the new climber through a step-by-step guide to visiting a climbing wall for the first time.
21. If a couple with their child of 15join in Canyoning for a day,they will payB.

B.£260
C.£160  
D.£320

A.Canyoning.
B.Surfing.
C.Scuba diving.
D.Rock climbing.

分析 本文讲述了四项运动,与英国人有关的.

解答 21.B 考查细节理解题.根据Canyoning (蹦谷运动)中提到A half day canyoning trip costs£50 (£30 for children under 16).半天的旅行一个人是50英镑,16岁以下的孩子30,所以二个成人一个15孩子所需要费用是260,故选B项.
22.A考查细节理解题.根据Surfing中提到The British Surfing Association (01479 861256 www.britsurf.co.uk) has a list of famous surf schools around the country.可知选A项.
23.C 考查推理判断题.根据Scuba diving中提到Diving is not popular with British people.The challenges of wild waters are greater because the water is colder and not clear enough潜水不受英国人的欢迎,因为水太冷且水质不清澈,故选C项.

点评 本文是一个广告布告类阅读理解,题目涉及多道细节理解题,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.

5.Wearing ties was originally the mark of Britain's most powerful classes,which made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect.And that led it to be adopted by a much larger tribe-the business tribe.
You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery.So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used your brain to make a living,rather than your hands.It showed you were serious.It showed you were a professional.It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one.It was just impossible to take seriously a man who didn't wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.
This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world.They are part of the uniform of business.
"Ties offer a point of difference,"says John Milne,head of the British Guide of Tie Makers."They give a chance to say something about their own personality."
So if you happen to meet a man with a very brightly colored tie,there is a good chance that he is the office joker.There is also a good chance that he will be wearing brightly colored socks.
Is there a future for ties?The signs are not promising.Tie wearing seems to be rare among entrepreneurs(企业家) in the Internet and new technology industries.Many political leaders,including British Prime Minister Tony Blair,now go without ties.This shows they are men of the people-but not the people wearing ties.
Up until around 1960,it was common for men across the Western world to wear hats as part of their business uniform.That changed with the election of John F.Kennedy to the presidency of the United States.Kennedy never wore a hat in fact his nickname was"hatless Jack".Seeing that the most powerful man in the world did not have to wear a hat,millions of
other men decided that they did not have to,either.Perhaps"tieless Tony"(UK Prime Minister Tony Blair) will have the same effect as"hatless Jack".
21.In Britain,ties were first used as a sign to show a person'sC.
A.personality     
B.job       
C.social position      
D.favorite hobby
22.In the business world,wearing a tie was necessary becauseD.
A.it showed you were welltrained    
B.it showed you got a good salary
C.it showed you were an employer     
D.it showed you were a brainworker
23.The writer may hold the opinion thatA.
A.millions of people will go to work without a tie
B.Kennedy is the best leader in the world
C.Blair is the best leader in the world

12.The famed soprano(女高音)Jenny Lind had plenty of talent and determination.And when she came to America in 1850 she had more than enough publicity.Her promoter was the biggest showman(演出经理人) of them all-P.T.Barnum.
Eager to rise above his reputation as a promoter of sideshows,Barnum had risked his entire fortune on the singer that he had never heard or seen.He saw to it that the risk paid off.When she arrived in New York,her admirers  surrounded Jenny Lind.By midnight,when she arrived at her hotel,a crowd of 30,000 had gathered just to get a look at her.At one o'clock,a band of 130 musicians came to sing for her.
Tickets for her first American concert were in such demand that they were auctioned off(拍卖).The first ticket went to a hat maker named Genin who paid$225 for it and got several days'worth of fame in the bargain.At the concert 7000 shouting people crowded into Castle Garden to hear Jenny Lind sing.She received$10,000-all of which she gave to New York charities.She repeated her success in Philadelphia,Washington,Richmond,Charleston,and Baltimore.
In Baltimore something happened that may have made Jenny Lind decide that things had gotten out of hand.She was on the balcony of her hotel,bowing to the masses below when her shawl fell.Instead of returning it,the crowd fought over the shawl,tearing it to shreds and pocketing the pieces as souvenirs.Soon afterward she backed out of her contract with Barnum-at a cost of$30,000-and completed her American tour.Several years passed before she returned to the concert stage.As for P.T.Barnum,he went into a profession for which he may have been supremely well qualified-politics.
