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). ‎ 文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。介绍了几条关于去英国旅游如何减少花费的建议。‎ ‎1．The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________.‎ A．help travelers pass time B．attract lots of travelers to the ‎UK C．allow travelers to make flexible plans D．cause travelers to pay more for accommodation 答案：D　细节理解题。读文章第二段(尤其是关键信息Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room.)可知，布赖顿喜剧节(英国最主要的艺术节)期间去英国旅游的话，游客要付更高的住宿费，D项正确。‎ ‎2．“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 答案：A　细节理解题。 A项意为“一家远离火车站的宾馆”；B项意为“到Covent Garden酒店的地铁”；C项意为“一个理想的度假圣地”；D项意为“旅游公司的名字”；结合文中信息句And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡62.95. 可知A项正确。‎ ‎3．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 答案：C　推理判断题。由Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings排除A/B；再看， 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.推理可知，四个成人五天才用420英镑，可排除D，然后要在这家旅馆生活几天的活，自然要提供烹饪设施，他们可自己做饭就餐，故选C。‎ ‎4．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 答案：A　细节理解题。根据最后信息Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡5 per day). 可知，卡迪夫允许游客免费骑自行车最长时间为半个小时。 ‎ ‎5．The main purpose of the passage is ________.‎ A．to tell visitors how to book in advance B．to supply visitors with hotel information C．to show visitors the importance of selfhelp D．to offer visitors some moneysaving tips 答案：D　主旨大意题。文章开篇就点明Here we help with ways to cut your costs，显然旨在提供了几条关于旅游如何减少花费的建议。‎ Ⅲ.七选五 ‎(2013·北京)‎ Urbanization Until relatively recently, the vast majority of human being lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago. __1__ In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history—a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.‎ Britain‎ was only the beginning. __2__ The process of urbanization—the migration (迁徙) of people from the countryside to the city—was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.‎ In 1900, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. __3__‎ Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninetyfive people on farms to feed five people in cities.__4__ Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite (精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.‎ Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country.__5__ Today, instead of needing ninetyfive farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred ‎ nonfarmers.‎ A．That kept cities very small.‎ B．The rest live in small towns.‎ C．The effects of urban living on people should be considered.‎ D．Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies.‎ E．But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.‎ F．Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.‎ G．Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.‎ 答案：1－5　EDBAF Ⅳ.语法填空 阅读下列材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)‎ A：Hello, may I speak to Mr.Johnson, please?‎ B：Speaking.

Do you want to know why we move last week? Dad lost his job, and as Mom explained，“He was lucky to find other one.” His new job meant I had to say goodbye to my classmate, my school or just everything else I love in the world. To make matters bad, now I have to share a room with my younger sister, Maggie. Tomorrow is first day of school. I am awfully tiring, but I know I'll never fall sleep.‎ Good night and remember you, dear diary, is my only souvenir from my past life and my only friend.‎ Yours，‎ Rosemary 答案：‎ Dear Diary，‎ Here I am in the middle of a city, 350 miles away from our farmhouse.

The score of English will be dropped while those of other subjects like Chinese and maths will jump higher. This causes a heated discussion.‎ Some government officials think English learning takes up too much time, simply to shift a learner's attention from other subjects. As for the advantages of the required subjects, many people put Chinese and maths in the first place, for English is most likely to be useless after “Gaokao”．‎ Such opinions invite much concern. Personally, we students pick up English not only for the entry to a college but for a future career, which we can not actually foresee today. Anyhow, a foreign language can possibly take us that far. In case of that, English teaching should attach greater importance to the language skills rather than grammar and vocabulary to save time for other subjects. ‎
