18．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 （19Oct．） cost£169.15at 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．
STAYAWAY 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 22September 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 self-catering 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£420for 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．

16．It is believed by experts that a weather pattern called El Nino caused the drought in Australia．EL Nino，referring to the Christ son in Spanish，was first used by people in Peru to show the abnormal weather conditions along the eastern Pacific coast around Christmas．EL Nino causes different weather in different parts of the world．It causes a lot of rain and  floods in some places．It causes droughts in other places．Droughts can badly affect people and the land．El Nino lasts about a year．
In normal weather conditions，warm winds from South America blow from east to west across the Pacific Ocean．The winds bring early storms to Australia．These storms bring rain to Australia．
During an El Nino weather pattern the winds change direction．They blow from west to east across the Pacific Ocean．The storms no longer move across Australia．So Australia gets very little rain during El Nino．
The drought began in January，1982．El Nino often occurs at this time of year．But that year，El Nino was stronger than usual．There was very little rainfall in eastern Australia．There was also very little water in the rivers．The drought was at its worst in February，1983．At that time，the weather  was very hot．The forests and fields were very dry．Cotton growers couldn't plant their cotton．Sheep farmers had no grass for their animals to eat．So many of them died．Because the forests were dry，forest fires started quickly．Some of the fires burned for a month．Many forests were destroyed．Over 2，000people lost their houses in the fires and 75people died．
The Australian drought of l982-1983affected thousands of people and animals．The drought cost the country over  3，000，000，000．It was a reminder to Australians of how the weather could change their lives．
21．From the passage we know El Nino isD．
A．a powerful storm
B．a place in Australia
C．a cute boy
D．a weather pattern
22．The underlined word"occurs"in the passage means"A"in Chinese．

A．There was very little rainfall in eastern Australia in 1982．
B．Many forests were destroyed in the Australian drought．
C．The Australian government paid over 3，000，000，000for this drought．
D．El Nino caused a great drought in Australia．

15．Attention to details is something everyone can and should do especially in a tight job market．Bob Crossley，a human resources expert notices this in the job applications that come across his desk every day．"It's amazing how many candidates eliminate themselves，"he says．
"Resumes arrive with stains．Some candidates don't bother to spell the company's name correctly．Once I see a mistake，!eliminate the candidate．"Crossley concludes，"If they cannot take care of these details，why should we trust them with a job？"
Can we pay too much attention to details？Absolutely．Perfectionists struggle over little things at the cost of something larger they work toward．"To keep from losing the forest for the trees，"says Charles Garfield，associate professor at the University of California，San Francisco，"we must constantly ask ourselves how the details we're working on fit into the larger picture．If they don't，we should drop then and move to something else．
Garfield compares this process to his work as a computer scientist at NASA．"The Apollo IImoon launch was slightly off-course 90percent of the time，"says Gaifield，"but a successful landing was still likely because we knew the exact position of our goal．This allowed us to make adjustments as necessary．Knowing where we want to go helps us judge the importance of every task we undertake．"
Too often we believe what accounts for others'success is some special secret or a lucky break．But rarely is success so mysterious．Again and again，we see that by doing little things within our grasp well，large rewards follow．
32．According to the passage，some job applicants were rejected because ofB．

14．Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activities．It may be walking，cycling，swimming，or in winter，skating or skiing．It may be a game of some forms-football，basketball，hockey，golf or tennis．It may be mountaineering．
Those who have a love for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment．Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship，and to take risks in high mountains？This astonishment is caused，probably，by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities to which men give their leisure （休闲娱乐）．
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game．There are no manmade rules，as others，as there are for such games as golf and football．There are，of course，rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore，but it is this freedom from manmade rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people．Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods．
If we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports，we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a"team game"．We should be mistaken in this．There are，it is true，no"matches"between"teams"of climbers，but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend，there is obviously teamwork．
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man．He has to fight the forces of nature．His sport requires high mental and physical qualities．
A mountain climber continues to improve in skills year by year．A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty．But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps．They may take more time than younger men，but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort，and they certainly experience equal enjoyment．
33．Mountaineering is a sport，not a game becauseD．
A．it has manmade rules
B．it is too dangerous for climbers
C．it can't bring people joy or leisure
D．it is free for climbers to use their own methods
34．We know from the passage thatD．
A．mountaineering has no attraction for people
B．physical quality is more important than mental （精神上的） one for climbers
C．a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirty
D．it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the Alps
35．What is the best title for the passage？C
A．Sports in winter
B．Team work in climbing
C．Mountaineering
D．The quality for mountaineering．

13．A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect（传染） a computer without permission or knowledge of the user and runs against his/her wishes．All computer viruses are man-made．Here are some virus prevention tips．
Do not open any files（文件） attached to an e-mail from an unknown，or untrustworthy source．
Do not open any files attached to an e-mail unless you know what it is，even if it appears to come from a dear friend or someone you know．Some viruses can copy themselves and spread through e-mail．Better be safe than sorry and make sure that they really sent it．
Do not open any files attached to an e-mail if the subject line is questionable or unexpected．If the need to do so is there，always save the file to your hard drive before doing so．
Delete（删除） chain e-mails and junk e-mails．Do not forward（转寄）or reply to any of them．These types of e-mail are considered spam（垃圾邮件），which contains lots of annoying advertisements and useless information．
Do not download any files from strangers．Be careful when downloading files from the Internet．Ensure that the source is a legal and trustworthy one．Make sure that an anti-virus program checks the files on the download site．If you are uncertain，don't download the file at all or download the file to a floppy（软盘）and test it with your own anti-virus software．
Update your anti-virus software regularly．Over 500viruses are discovered each month，so you'll want to be protected．
Back up（备份） your files on a regular basis．If a virus destroys your files，at least you can replace them with your backup copy．You should store your backup copy in a separate location from your work files，one that is better not to be on your computer．
