Ⅳ.阅读理解
Consulates(领事馆) exist to help citizens abroad to help themselves. Every year millions of people go abroad for pleasure or profit. There are consular officers ready to do what they can to help if people get into difficulties, but for all sorts of reasons there are limits to what they can do. Most times things go well for travellers abroad but occasionally things go wrong.
So,whether you are an experienced traveller or a first-timer, going by yourself, with the family or a group,there are things you should do before you go. Think about money and tickets well in advance. Take enough money including enough to pay your return fare, and hold on to it. Better still, buy return tickets in the first place. In an emergency a consul will contact your relatives or friends and ask them to help you with money or tickets. But there's no law that says a consul has to lend you money and if he eventually does (and it will have to be repaid) he will want to be satisfied first that you really do have no money and there is no one else you know who can help.
It is also important to take out proper insurance for everything from car breakdowns to loss of life. A consul cannot pay your medical or any other bills,nor can he do the work of local travel representatives or motoring organizations.
1.What does the underlined word “emergency” mean
A.A lucky chance.
B.A hot discussion.
C.A serious situation.
D.An exciting travel.
2.What is the author trying to do in the text
A.To inform people about laws abroad.
B.To describe an international problem.
C.To explain how to visit a consulate.
D.To give advice about going abroad.
3.Why would somebody read the text
A.To know how to contact a consul.

D.To find out where a consul lives.
4.You can borrow money from a consul if you ______.
A.need to stay abroad longer
B.have to help a relative
C.have no other financial means
D.need to have your car repaired
答案与解析:
1.解析:词义猜测题。从“...a consul will contact your relatives or friends and ask them to help you with money or tickets”看出当一个人突遇紧急情况的时候,领事才联系你的亲戚或朋友要求他们为你提供钱或票据。emergency是“紧急情况,突发事件”的意思,a serious situation意为“严峻的形势”,二者含义相符。
答案:C
2.解析:主旨大意题。本文讲述了游客在国外遇突发情况时领事馆的作用。
答案:D
3.解析:推理判断题。读完本文后就可以知道在国外时什么情况下可以联系领事馆的工作人员。
答案:C
4.解析:细节理解题。从“...he will want to be satisfied first that you really do have no money and there is no one else you know who can help”看出,只有当领事确认你的确没有钱,也没有其他人能给你帮助的时候,你才能够借到钱。
答案:C
