解答 DAEFG
36.D 考查联系上下文.空前During the peak season,the hotel and flight prices increase quickly,and you'll likely spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists.的意思是:在旅游旺季,宾馆和航班的价格迅速增加,而且由于游客很多,你可能要花更多的时间排队.这里选D(So it's best to find out when the off-season starts.因此,最好找到旅游淡季开始.)与上下文一致.故选D.
37.A考查小标题选择.本段介绍了在网上预定打折酒店,住便宜的平房等住宿方面节省钱的方法,所以本段标题可以总结为在住宿方面省钱.所以这里选A(Save on hotels.节省宾馆开支.)与上下文一致.故选A.
38.E考查对上下文语境的理解.空后Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new?的意思是:在你的家庭旅行期间,尝试当地人所吃的新鲜食物.那不仅省钱还能提供给你新的不同的体验.所以这里选E( Planning your meals is another way to reduce your travel costs.计划膳食是另一个节省旅行开支的方法.)与上下文一致.故选E.
39.F考查对上下文语境的理解. 空前Clothes,travel goodies,souvenirs,etc.are very expensive at these places.的意思是:众所周知,旅游重地对所有东西都过度要价.衣服,旅行用具及纪念册等等在这些地方都特别贵.空后Bargain hard to get the best price.的意思:尽量还价以得到最好的价格.所以这里选F(For this reason,you shouldn't feel ashamed to ask for bargains.因为这个原因,讨价还价不要害羞.)与上下文一致.故选F.
40.G考查上下文一致性.空后Instead,take buses,railways or subways,which are always cheaper.的意思是:相反的,做公交车,地铁就会便宜很多.所以这里选G(As a tourist,avoid taking taxis whenever possible,since they are expensive.作为旅游者,只要可以就不坐出租车,因为坐出租车很贵.)与上下文一致.故选G.
点评 完成七选五阅读时,我们可以从关联词上查找答案.由于英语的句段之间经常会运用关联词表示衔接和过渡,使文章逻辑更清楚和连贯,因此文章中和选项中表示各种逻辑关系的路标性信号词在选择答案时都是很重要的线索.在做题时可将这三个层面的线索很好地结合起来.
