Holiday home
越来越多的英国人选择在国内度假
The British people have just discovered a new country.It's called the UK!More and more people are choosing to take their holidays in their own country rather than travel abroad.
One of the most traditional British holidays is the "seaside holiday".Stereotypically (典型地),families get on a train or into a car and travel to British seaside towns.
In the late 1970s,air travel became affordable (负担得起) for the average (普通的) family,and more and more British people started traveling abroad for their summer holidays.After all,the British weather isn't very good,even in summer,so a lot of Britons leave the UK for a vacation.
British holidaying habits have begun to change,however.Climate (气候) change means that the UK now has a hotter climate than before,so people do not need to go overseas to find good weather.Also,the credit crunch (信贷危机) has affected (影响) the international value of the British pound,so going abroad is more expensive than it used to be.As a result,more and more Britons are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.
In the UK,the domestic (国内的) tourism industry—when people go on holiday in their own country—is healthier than it has been before.UK newspapers have even invented a new word:a "staycation".It is a term to describe the vacation when people stay in their own homes and go on a few day-trips rather than spending money on hotels.
In some ways,therefore,the UK has come full circle.There is now an increased appreciation (欣赏) among Britons for the diversity (多样性) of the UK.It is not just the geography that is diverse,ranging(范围包括) from the green hills of England to the mountains of Scotland.It is also the diversity of cultures that is beginning to be of interest to domestic tourists.People forget sometimes that there are different accents(方言),languages,traditions,cuisines (美食) and peoples across all the regions of the UK.
The UK has always been famous for its international explorers (探险者).It is only just starting to discover itself.
12. The British weather was ______ in the late 1970s.
A. very good B. not very good C. changeable D. cold
13. "Staycation" is a vacation when ______ .
A. people stay in hotels and go on a few day-trips
B. people travel to British seaside towns
C. people stay in their homes and go on a few day-trips
D. people go abroad
14. British people find that ______ .
A. the UK is also a good place to spend their holidays in
B. more and more people like to travel to other countries
C. the UK isn't a good place to live
D. going abroad is cheaper than it used to be
15. British people are paying more attention to Britain's ______ .
A. economy B. climate C. diversity D. language
16. What does the passage mainly tell us? ______
A. More and more Britons travel abroad.
B. More and more Britons travel in their own country.
C. The weather in the UK changes a lot.
D. The credit crunch in the UK.

Free-wheel your family vacation
美国人的房车生活是什么样呢?
Americans love to drive.They have drive-in movie theaters and drive-through restaurants.And they also drive for vacations.They often call it the "Great American Road Trip":the whole family gets into a car or recreational vehicle (RV,旅行房车),and goes on a summertime trip across the country.
American cars are always big,but RVs are the biggest.These are houses on wheels.RVs have kitchens,bathrooms and bedrooms.All across the country you can find RV parks.They are places to park your RV and spend the night.And,if you can't find a good park,you can always make your home in a grocery store parking lot.
When your little brother kicks you in the face all night in your small bed under the table,a big RV can seem very small.And,when the dog barks (吠) and Mom plays her country music on the radio——your family is not at its best.What's worse,RVs are always breaking down.
But RV travel can be a great time with the family,too.You can see the country in the comfort of your own "home".You can spend every night in a different scenic (景色的) place,or just stay where you are.You don't have to pay for hotels or restaurants,only gas.But,best of all,you are free to go wherever you want whenever you want in your home-away-from-home.
17. Americans love to ______ .
A. cook B. drive C. shop D. sleep
18. RVs are ______ cars in America.
A. smaller than B. not as big as C. bigger than D. the same as
19. RVs have kitchens,bathrooms and ______ .
A. parks B. bedrooms C. living rooms D. classrooms
20. What is one of the disadvantages of the RV? ______
A. It is always breaking down.
B. The space of RV is very big.
C. There is no noise in RV.
D. The radio is always breaking down.
21. When you travel by your RV,you can ______ .
A. only stay in the park
B. pay for hotels or restaurants
C. spend every night in a different scenic place
D. only go out on the weekend

Mr.and Mrs.Green lived in a big city,and one summer they went to the country(乡村)for their holiday.They enjoyed it very much,because it was a quiet and clean place.

27.【答案】【小题1】beginning
【小题2】festivals
【小题3】to sell
【小题4】to
【小题5】whether
【小题6】unhappy
【小题7】an
【小题8】Luckily
【小题9】speaking
【小题10】filled
【解析】(1)考查名词。句意:然而,在19世纪初,只有少数人知道圣诞节。根据" the "可知,此处应填名词beginning,意思是"开始",即直到19世纪之初才有少数人知道它。故填beginning。
(2)考查名词。句意:但是多亏了狄更斯和他的作品,《圣诞颂歌》,圣诞节成为了世界上最受欢迎的节日之一。根据"one of"可知,宾语部分是"one of +可数名词复数"结构,意思是"……之一",即由于查尔斯 狄更斯和他的伟大作品《圣诞歌》,圣诞节才成为世界上最流行的节日之一。故填festival的复数,表示"节日"这个整体概念。故填festivals。
(3)考查动词不定式。句意:他的最后一部小说似乎销售不佳。根据"seem"可知,本句是"seem to do sth"句型,意思是"似乎做某事"。故填to sell。

(5)考查连词。句意:他想知道他是否能养得起。根据语境可知,此处用连词whether来引导宾语从句,并和句中的"or not"组成短语"whether or not",意思是"是否"。故填whether。
(6)考查形容词。句意:一个十月的晚上,他沿着泰晤士河走着,他孤独而郁郁寡欢,希望为他的下一本书找到灵感。根据上文What was worse,his friends kept borrowing money from him and his wife was going to give birth to their fifth baby(糟糕的是,他的朋友们不断向他借钱,他的妻子即将生下他们的第五个孩子。)可知,他正处于困境中,所以他不高兴。此处应该填形容词和lonely(孤独的)作为并列成分。unhappily表示"不高兴地",为副词,其形容词为unhappy(不高兴的)。故填unhappy。
(7)考查冠词。句意:当他看到无家可归的人们可怕的生活条件时,他想出了一个主意。come up with表示"想出"。根据语境,此处应该表示"想出了一个主意"。idea(主意)是元音音素开头的单数可数名词,故用不定冠词an来修饰。故填an。
(8)考查副词。句意:幸运的是,这本书取得了巨大的成功。此处应填lucky(幸运的)的副词形式luckily(幸运的是)作句子状语。故填Luckily。
(9)考查动词。句意:到现在为止,它已经传播到非英语国家。non-English speaking country表示"非英语国家"。故填speaking。
(10)考查形容词。句意:人们都喜欢他的书,因为他的故事精神总是充满了人类的真善美。be filled with表示"充满……"。故填filled。
本文说的是著名作家查尔斯 狄更斯和圣诞节的故事。文章讲述了圣诞节之所以这么出名,是由于狄更斯的小说广泛传播,才为全世界的人们所知晓。
