第一节 （共20小题；每小题2分,满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项A、B、C、D中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Situated in the South West of England, between Exeter and Plymouth, Torquay is one of the most popular holiday resorts（度假胜地）in Britain. It provides sophisticated（精致）entertainment, sports of every kind and cultural facilities, all set in a position of outstanding natural beauty. Visitors can choose between luxury hotels by the sea, with private suites（套房），swimming pools and saunas, and comfortable but less expensive guest houses. There are camping sites, too, and hundreds of houses displaying“B & B”signs.

       As well as a number of small quiet bays, which are ideal for beach barbecues away from the crowds, Torquay has large sandy beaches where you can buy refreshments（饮料）and hire deck chairs, boats and even beach huts. There are large areas of grassland overlooking the sea, and miles of winding cliff paths for walkers who just want to enjoy the scenery and what is often said to be the healthiest air in the country. For the sportsmen and women there are opportunities not only for golf, tennis, squash and bowls, but also for water-skiing, hang-gliding and deep-sea fishing.

       After a day in the open air, there’s lots to do in the evenings, too. There are plenty of discos, the occasional opera or ballet, and summer variety shows in the seafront theatres. For the children, there is a beautiful model village with a complicated railway layout which is remarkably realistic-especially when the lights are all on at night.

       Of course, there’s no need to spend your whole holidays in Torquay. Only a short drive away is Dartmoor National Park, where you can walk for miles through dramatic, unspoiled countryside, or picnic by beautiful rivers and streams. Or, nearer to home, you can sail across Tor Bay to the lovely old fishing village of Brixham.

       Torquay seems to have something for everyone. But don’t take my word for it-come and see for yourself.

41．Which of the following best explains what “B & B” means on the signs?

       A．Bed and breakfast           B．Breakfast and bath

42．According to the text Torquay might be described as     .

       A．comfortable and expensive        B．crowed and lively

43．What is special about the model village?

       A．It opens at night.

       B．It has something for the children

       C．It’s in the open air.

       D．It has a real railway system.

44．What is the purpose of writing this text?
