D.广告中说“每周12小时60元”，那么一个月四周要近千元。故D为正确答案。‎ ‎　　4. B.“你也许喜欢去International House的原因”可以从广告前言和广告本身中得知。前言中说，“你现在正在找地方提高英语，特别是口语”，而The International House的广告中说“提供四个月的口语能力训练课程”，因此，只有a special course in spoken English才是最吸引你的，而不是“观光、社会活动或价格便宜”。另外，选项D与广告实际内容不符。故B为正确答案。‎ ‎　　Passage 64‎ ‎　　【答案与解析】这篇阅读材料包括四则广告：一则是足球队招收队员的；一则是饭馆招聘助手的；另两则是有关房屋出租的。在广告内容之后，短文写出了The Browns及Tom等人的个人资料。仔细阅读，就会找到他们与广告之间的联系。‎ ‎　　1.B。根据短文内容，可知广告中出租的房子有两间卧室，而布朗一家却需要有三间卧室的房子。所以答案为B。‎ ‎　　2.C。答案在“Ann，their daughter has always wanted to work in a restaurant.She thinks it is an exciting place.”一句中。‎ ‎　　3.C。汤姆十二岁，可以参加足球队，但他放学的时间是三点半，而根据“Meets in Green Park on Friday at 3 p.m.”这一句，差了半个小时，显然是不行的。‎ ‎　　4.D。这套公寓靠近大火车站,交通便利, 可是由 “…He is getting ready for his drawing.So the house must be quiet.”这句话可知不适合他.‎ ‎　　5.B。第二则广告是招聘晚间或周末饭店服务员，免费用餐，这由生活常识可知。选项C是明显的错误。‎ ‎　　Passage 65‎ ‎　　【答案与解析】这是某剧院张贴的一则广告，文字简练，但包含的信息较多。从上至下，依次是：剧院名称(Newton Theater)，剧院所处的城市名称(Oxford)，剧院的电话号码和票价。下面是剧本名称及演出日程安排，最后介绍了上演时间(星期一至星期五是7：50开演，星期六是8点开演)。广告末端的那句话意思是“幕间休息时提供茶和咖啡”。‎ ‎　　1.D。该小题所问的是剧院的电话号码。‎ ‎　　2.C。本题选Newton剧院所在的城市。‎ ‎　　3.A。从广告上看，上海芭蕾舞团的演出时间是从1月24日到27日，共四个晚上。故A为正确答案。‎ ‎　　4.D。1月29日(星期一)上演的剧目是Run and Kill。‎ ‎　　5.B。从广告上的Performances后面的内容推断，应指“演出时间”，也就是题干中的weekdays(工作日：从周一到周五)所指的时间，即7：30。‎ ‎　　6.C。根据广告最后的“Tea and coffee served during the interval”这句话的前三个词即能判断出来。‎ ‎　　Passage 66‎ ‎　　【答案与解析】这是三则介绍旅游风景区景点的广告。‎ ‎　　1.the whole village, the forest and the mountains。 答案即在“From the hotel you can see the whole village, the forest and the mountains.”这句话中。‎ ‎　　2.in your boat。根据“There you can pay for them when you sit in your boat.”一句，可知答案。‎ ‎　　3.your hat。“Don't forget your hat: the sun can be strong and it may be as hot as 40℃ about midday!”一句是答案的出处。‎ ‎　　4.mountains, forests and many mosquitoes。本题属表层信息理解题。答案源自“…and mountains and forests in the north, but be careful: there are many mosquitoes…”一句中。‎ ‎　　5. Bangkok in Thailand 。 这三则广告中所出现的气温方面的信息分别是：①Temperatures in summer are usually 20℃ to 25℃ in the daytime, but much cooler by evening. ② the sun can be strong and it may be as hot as 40℃ about midday! ③ Daytime temperatures there are usually around 24℃ to 26℃ by the sea, and only a little cooler by late evening. 不难看出正确答案。‎ ‎　　Passage 67‎ ‎　　【答案与解析】这是动物园为吸引游人张贴的一张海报。其中提到了动物园里有印度大象，美洲老虎，中国的猴子，澳大利亚的狗和赞比亚的长颈鹿等。海报上还列出了儿童和成人票价，开门时间以及观看动物时的注意事项等。‎ ‎　　1.C。表格上面的文字中依次介绍了大象、老虎、熊、猴子、狗和长颈鹿等六种动物。故答案为C。‎ ‎　　2.C。表格中清楚地说明成人票每张2美元，十二岁以上的孩子每人1美元，而十二岁以下则是免费的。故一张成人票加上一张儿童票共计3元。‎ ‎　　3.C。根据“9:00 a.m.— 4:00 p.m.”可知营业时间是每天上午的九点到下午的四点，但由“Except Friday 10:00 a.m. — 3 :00 p.m.”不难看出周五例外，其时间是上午十点以下午三点。‎ ‎　　4.D。注意理解“the giraffes from Zambia are waiting to look down on you.”中的look down on方能解决问题。‎ ‎　　5. D。根据“Keep the zoo clean！Do not touch，give food or go near the animals.”可知A、B和C都是错误的，只有D才是正确的。‎ ‎　　Passage 68‎ ‎　　【答案与解析】这是中国民航(CAAC)的航空时刻表。表中列出了一周内出航的航班的班次，从北京起飞的时间和到达各地的时刻。大部分信息都可以从表格中看出来，但有的却需要通过计算方能得出。不过只要弄懂题目的要求，在表格中找到所需的相应数字，问题就可迎刃而解。‎ ‎　　1. D。这是二十四小时时刻表示法。前两位表示小时数，后两位表示分钟数。故该时间是晚上八点四十五分，即为九点差一刻。‎ ‎　　2. B。从表格中不难看出到达Abu Dhabi的三个航班都是晚间十点二十五分的。由此可以查到它们的航班号分别是周一的F002，周三的F008和周四的F012。‎ ‎　　3. C。要计算出路上所用的时间，则必须知道飞机出发和到达该地的时间，然后二者之差即是。这由表格中F112(出发时刻为2045，到达时刻为0615)或十点出发的F004，F012，F006，F014等(到达时间皆为1930)都可算出来，所用时间是七小时三十分。‎ ‎　　4. D。本小题是让找出上午从北京出发的哪一个航班到达Dubai的时间也是在上午。我们可以先找出在上午到达Dubai的航班，由表格可清楚地发现由北京发往Dubai的航班共有六个。上午到达的有五个，它们分别是：0705，0900，0375 (两个)，0855。然后再对照它们从北京出发的时间，即可找到F002。它对方对应的是星期一。‎ ‎　　5. B。该小题难度偏大。其意思是说“哪一天的航班可以在一天之内从北京到Abu Dhabi然后再到Bahrain”。根据题意，要首先找到能在两地停留的航班，即是：周一的F002、周三的F008和周四的F012。但F012到达的时间已是第二天凌晨。不合题意。故唯有B才是正确答案。‎ ‎　　Passage 69‎ ‎　　【答案与解析】这是四家电视台对晚间要播放的节目进行的预告。解题时，一定要首先阅读后面的题目，根据题目的要求到节目单中找相应的信息。‎ ‎　　1.A.答案即在SDTV 的“19:45 Football Match: China—Japan”中。‎ ‎　　2.B。从BTV –2的“19:00 Popular Songs”中可明显找到答案。 ‎ ‎　　3.B。根据“22:30 English News”和下一个节目开始的时间，英语新闻从二十二点三十分开播，到二十二点五十分结束，共用时二十分钟。‎ ‎　　4.C.不难看出CCTV –4 中有英文节目“22:30 English News”，BTV –2 中有“20:20 American English Today”，SDTV中有“18:40 English for Children”，所以答案为C。‎ ‎　　Passage 70‎ ‎　　【答案与解析】这是一份学校发送给Edward的一份家长通知书。其中包含了对Edward各门功课的评价，行为表现，班内名次，缺课次数，总体评价以及开学日期等。‎ ‎　　1.C.本篇阅读材料的标题就是A School Report，是学校给Edward Scott的一份通知书。它不是什么学习计划、工作计划或者教学计划。‎ ‎　　2.A.这份通知书中依次提到了mathematics, science, English, French, history, geography和 music这七门学科名称。选项A的PE(体育)并不在其中，所以答案为A。‎ ‎　　3.B.Edward Scott学得最好的科目是哪一门呢？由文中对英语这门课程的评语“He is the best in the class. Keep it up.”可知他的英语成绩是全班最好的，评语中还勉励他继续保持下去。所以答案为B。‎ ‎　　4.B.题目问Edward不太擅长什么学科？根据数学和历史评语栏中的“He is a little weak in this…”和“He is not so good at this…”这两句话，可知答案非B莫属。‎ ‎　　5.C.这道题目综合性较大，必须结合选项逐一分析。选项A是关于音乐课的，相关的评语是“尽管不喜欢流行音乐，但歌唱得很好”。显然A项宜排除。选项B是关于科学的，相关的评语是“能解决很多疑难问题。学得很棒！”。故B项也是错误的。选项C意思是说“如果努力的话，下学期会做得更好”，这与文中的“Remarks: Edward has the ability to do a lot better. More work is needed next term.”这个总评语相吻合。故C项是正确答案。值得注意的昌，选项D迷惑性很强。文中虽然提到英语和法语这两门语言学科，但我们不能因此就盲目地认为这两门课程对Edward来说都是外语。留意一下照片下方的An Australian Boy，就会明白Edward是澳大利亚人，英语是他的母语，故D项也不符合题意。‎
