Ⅳ.阅读理解
I had dreamt about Ushuaia for a long time. Finally I was there and the place gave me a feeling of peace and inspiration.
We arrived in Ushuaia from Punta Arenas by airplane. It was a 30-minute flight. The landing was quite exciting as the plane had to land on a short runway and came in flying low over the surface of the Canal Beagle. The hotel we were staying at was a real charm. The owner told us from the first minute to check out the dining room on the fourth floor. He was obviously proud of it, and he should be, because the almost 360 degrees view was absolutely eye-catching. At this point I knew the following three days were going to be great.
Ushuaia itself is a tourist place, with the usual gift shops, tourist companies and restaurants—most of them with great food, especially the seafood and some of them in truly romantic locations. But walking in town here feels great, not only because this is the southernmost city in the world, but also because you can enjoy the silence of mountains and the sea as soon as you climb some uphill streets.
The Canal Beagle is the passway from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, and is dotted with little islands and rocks. On the cliffs of the rocks, the cormorants (鸬鹚)make their nests, and there are thousands of them.
After a while,we went ashore to do some walking on a small island. It was a great experience. We were really in the middle of the Canal Beagle. I could feel the wind and the rain, and really felt like an intruder (入侵者)into the daily life of the birds that made this island their home.
1.The owner of the hotel advised the writer to check out the dining room first because _______.
A.it was the owner's duty to do so
B.it was time for the writer to have dinner
C.the owner was proud of the dining room
D.the writer's room was on the fourth floor
2.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Gift shops. B.Restaurants.
C.Tourist companies. D.Seafood.
3.What made the writer feel a close relation with the Canal Beagle?
A.Passing the canal.
B.Climbing the cliffs.
C.Watching the birds' nests.
D.Walking on a small island.
4.What probably impressed the writer most in Ushuaia?
A.The peace. B.The animals.
C.The gifts. D.The streets.
Ⅴ.阅读七选五
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Here are some top tips for world travellers.
Travel light. __1__ It's no fun carrying a huge bag around a foreign city. Don't take too many clothes and avoid heavy books and electrical equipment.
__2__Always keep your passport on you in an inside pocket or special travel belt. There may be thieves about. It's a good idea to make a photocopy (复印件) of your passport and travel documents.
Transport sense. Don't let go of your bags on the train. __3__There are always thieves on public transport. If you want to sleep, tie your bag to your arm. When you take a taxi, it's a good idea to ask for the driver's permit. Many foreigners pay too much money because they take unofficial taxis.
Keep clean. It's a good idea to wear dark clothes because they hide the dirt while white clothes attract it! Make sure you have plenty of clean underclothes and deodorant (除臭剂). __4__
__5__You should always be polite and respectful towards the locals. Even if you find their habits and behaviour a bit strange, you shouldn't show your feelings. Remember, you're their guest.
A.Be polite.
B.Keep your documents safe.
C.You should carry a spare bag.
D.You don't want to smell bad!
E.Keep them with you at all times.
F.Make sure your bag isn't too heavy.
G.It's a good idea to wear similar clothes to the local people.
