Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2013·湖南卷)
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 (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 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 ￡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)．
到英国旅游花费很高，因此有必要找到适当的方式来降低旅游费用。
16．The Brighton Comedy Festival that 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
答案与解析 D 推理判断题。分析文章第二段，大的赛事或者展览等活动会大大增加旅游的费用，因此作者最后提到这个节日的目的是说明赛事期间的住宿费用会增加。
17．“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
答案与解析 A 推理判断题。分析文章第五段可知，作者强调住宿的地方要远离车站，作者介绍了几个价廉物美的旅馆其中之一。
18．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
答案与解析 C 事实细节题。由文章第六段的“As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen ...”可知，作者建议我们可以住有厨房的旅馆，O'Neill Flat就是提供厨房设备的旅馆之一。
19．Cardiff's program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ________.[来源:学科网ZXXK]
A. half an hour B. one hour
C. one hour and a half D. two hours
答案与解析 A 事实细节题。根据文章最后一段“and Cardiff(free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡5 per day)”可知．Cardiff可以给人们提供30分钟的免费骑行。

(2013·唐山三模)
How to Sell Your Ideas to Your Boss
Do you have ideas that you are just dying to share? Ideas are exciting but they are not always met with much acceptance. __20__ Here are some suggestions that might increase your chances.
__21__ You don't want to get stuck when you are questioned. Who will the idea benefit? Why do you think it will succeed? How will you measure its success? When and where will you perform it? Predict the kinds of questions that will be asked to be better prepared to respond quickly without any hesitation.
Practice your expressing. You don't want to come across nervous and stammer (口吃) through your talk. Few people want to trust someone who appears unconfident. __22__ So, just as an old saying goes “Practice makes perfect”， read aloud what you have in your mind again and again until you think that is your best.
Reach agreement. Share your idea with people on your team you trust and get their opinions. If they support your idea and understand its benefits, they will be a great back up when you put forward the idea in the department meeting.__23__
Give your idea a concrete description. If your idea is completely new, your boss might have a difficult time catching you. __24__ You want the boss to have an “Ah, I get it” moment. Showing him or her that “it's like this, only different，” is easier to communicate and sell.
Some of the greatest ideas in history were rejected several times until they were eventually accepted. So even if you follow all these steps and your idea is rejected, don't lose heart.
A. Have a plan in mind.
B. Prepare some questions ahead.
C. That makes you look inexperienced.
D. Paint a picture to show how the idea works and how it will be used.
E. It's harder to say no to a group who is in agreement than it is no one voice.
F. If you practice much ahead of time, you will get your idea across more smoothly.
G. In fact, getting your boss to take your ideas might be quite a difficult task.
答案 20.G 21.A 22.F 23.E 24.D
Ⅲ.任务型读写(安徽)
(2013·安徽名校联盟联考3)
When it comes to high-speed broadband Internet
connections, your choices today are much more than ever. The three most popular choices are cable, satellite and DSL.
To get connected by cable, your home or business needs to have an underground cable connection. A DSL connection is done over telephone lines, and a connection for satellite uses a small dish on the roof to receive and send information.
Unlike dial-up, all three choices allow you to use your phone while you are connecting to the Internet. Some rural (农村) areas still don't have access to DSL and cable, so in these areas, satellite service is the only choice other than using dial-up at a very slow rate of speed.
With cable, the speed of the service can be affected by how many others in your neighborhood are logged (登录) on at the same time. However, with DSL, your speed is always steady, even if you have 2 or 200 people using the service. Satellite is generally the best choice for people in rural areas who have no access to cable or DSL. The signal has much farther to travel, so there is often a delay. Plus, it's more difficult (and therefore expensive) to fix than DSL or cable choices.
Although its performance is affected by the number of other users in the area, cable providers generally charge more for cable connections than DSL charges. However, DSL prices often go up at the end of the one-year sign-on special. In addition, if you do have cable TV, you may be able to get a better price.
Regardless of which choice you choose, you'll come out ahead if you leave dial-up behind and switch to one of the faster Internet connection opportunities, such as DSL, cable, or satellite service.

(2013·银川一中三模)
Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family among us and the ticket counter.
This family made deep impression on me. There were eight children, both probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn't have a lot of money. Their clothes was not expensive, and they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of us standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, held hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants and another performances where that they would see that night. Everyone could sense they have never been to the circus before.

Unlike dial-up, all three choices allow you to use your phone while you are connecting to the Internet. Some rural (农村) areas still don't have access to DSL and cable, so in these areas, satellite service is the only choice other than using dial-up at a very slow rate of speed.
With cable, the speed of the service can be affected by how many others in your neighborhood are logged (登录) on at the same time. However, with DSL, your speed is always steady, even if you have 2 or 200 people using the service. Satellite is generally the best choice for people in rural areas who have no access to cable or DSL. The signal has much farther to travel, so there is often a delay. Plus, it's more difficult (and therefore expensive) to fix than DSL or cable choices.
Although its performance is affected by the number of other users in the area, cable providers generally charge more for cable connections than DSL charges. However, DSL prices often go up at the end of the one-year sign-on special. In addition, if you do have cable TV, you may be able to get a better price.
Regardless of which choice you choose, you'll come out ahead if you leave dial-up behind and switch to one of the faster Internet connection opportunities, such as DSL, cable, or satellite service.

Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus. Finally, there was only one family among us and the ticket counter.
This family made deep impression on me. There were eight children, both probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn't have a lot of money. Their clothes was not expensive, and they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of us standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, held hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants and another performances where that they would see that night. Everyone could sense they have never been to the circus before.
