(2024·湖南)
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).
文章大意：本文是一篇說明文。介紹了幾條關于去英國旅游如何減少花費的建議。
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 細節理解題。讀文章第二段(尤其是關鍵信息Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room.)可知，布賴頓喜劇節(英國最主要的藝術節)期間去英國旅游的話，游客要付更高的住宿費，D項正確。
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 細節理解題。 A項意為“一家遠離火車站的賓館”；B項意為“到Covent Garden酒店的地鐵”；C項意為“一個理想的度假圣地”；D項意為“旅游公司的名字”；結合文中信息句And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡62.95. 可知A項正確。
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 推理判斷題。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，四個成人五天才用420英鎊，可排除D，然后要在這家旅館生活幾天的活，自然要提供烹飪設施，他們可自己做飯就餐，故選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 細節理解題。根據最后信息Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or ￡5 per day). 可知，卡迪夫允許游客免費騎自行車最長時間為半個小時。
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 self-help
D．to offer visitors some money-saving tips
答案：D 主旨大意題。文章開篇就點明Here we help with ways to cut your costs，顯然旨在提供了幾條關于旅游如何減少花費的建議。

(2024·南京市二模)
While waiting to pick up a friend at an airport in Portland, Oregon, I had one of those life-changing experiences that you hear other people talk about—the kind that happens to you unexpectedly. To me, this happened and was only two feet away from me.
Locating my friend among the passengers, I noticed a man coming toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family.
First he walked to his youngest son (maybe 6 years old) as he laid down his bags. They gave each other a long, loving hug. As they separated enough to look in each other's face, I heard the father say，“It's so good to see you, son.
I missed you so much！” His son smiled somewhat shyly, and replied softly，“Me, too, Dad！”
Then the man stood up, gazed into the eyes of his oldest son (maybe 9 or 10) and while cupping his son's face in his hands said, “You're already quite a young man. I love you very much, Zach！” They too hugged a most loving, tender hug.
While this was happening, a baby girl (perhaps one or one-and-a-half-year old) was squirming (扭動) excitedly in her mother's arms, never once taking her little eyes off the wonderful sight of her returning father. The man said，“Hi, baby girl！” as he gently took the child from her mother. He quickly kissed her face all over and then held her close to his chest while rocking her from side to side. The little girl instantly relaxed and simply laid her head on his shoulder, motionless in pure contentment.
After several moments, he handed his daughter to his oldest son and declared，“I've saved the best for last！” and went to give his wife the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing. He gazed into her eyes for several seconds and then silently mouthed, “I love you so much！” They stared into each other's eyes, beaming big smiles at one another, while holding both hands.
For an instant they reminded me of newly-weds, but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn't possibly be. I puzzled about it for a moment then realized how totally attentive I was in the wonderful display of unconditional love not more than an arm's length away from me.
I suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if I was invading something sacred, but was amazed to hear my own voice nervously ask，“Wow! How long have you two been married？”
“Been together fourteen years total, married twelve of those.” he replied, without breaking his gaze from his lovely wife's face. “Well then, how long have you been away？” I asked. The man finally turned and looked at me, still beaming his joyous smile. “Two whole days！”
Two days? I was stunned. I had assumed he'd been gone for at least several weeks—if not months. I know my expression betrayed me. “I hope my marriage is still that passionate after twelve years！”
The man suddenly stopped smiling.
He looked me straight in the eye, and with forcefulness that burned right into my soul, he told me something that left me a different person, “Don't hope, friend... decide！” Then he flashed me his wonderful smile again, shook my hand and said，“God bless！”
With that, he and his family turned and walked away together.
I was still watching that exceptional man and his special family walk just out of sight when my friend came up to me and asked, “What'cha looking at？” Without hesitating, and with a curious sense of certainty, I replied，“My future！”
