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 atBooking.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).　 ‎ ‎51.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 ‎52.“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 ‎53.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 ‎54.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 ‎55.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 B One of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would ‎ include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文)showing how it was used. ‎ This was a huge task. So Murrary had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American Surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,”” 50 miles from Oxford. ‎ Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors. ‎ But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897， Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum for the Criminally insane. ‎ Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds. ‎ In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend. ‎ Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient. ‎ ‎56. According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary _________. ‎ A. came out before minor died ‎ B. was edited by an American volunteer ‎ C. included the English words invented by Murray D. was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary ‎57. How did Dr. Minor contributed to the dictionary?‎ A. He helped Murray to find hundreds of volunteers. ‎ B. He sent newspapers, magazines and books to Murray.‎ C.

Broadmoor Asylum and is patients ‎ C Fifteen years ago，I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy． After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea，white buildings and green olive trees，I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama． ‎ Unfortunately，just as I took out my camera，a woman approached from behind，and planted herself right in front of my view．Like me，this woman was here to stop，sigh and appreciate the view． ‎ Patient as I was， after about 15 minutes，my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take，I grew frustrated． Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure，I could have asked her， but something prevented me from doing so． She seemed so content in her observation．I didn’t want to mess with that． ‎ Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored．The woman was still there．I decided to take the photo anyway．And now when I look at it，I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting．The landscape，beautiful on its own，somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it． ‎ This photo，with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it， now hangs on a wall in my bedroom． What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom，after all，is a very private space，in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存)． In some ways，she lives in my house． ‎ Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces． Perhaps this is what photos are for：to remind us that we all appreciate beauty，that we all share a common desire for pleasure，for connection，for something that is greater than us． ‎ That photo is a reminder，a captured moment，an unspoken conversation between two women，separated only by a thin square of glass． ‎ ‎61． What happened when the author was about to take a photo?‎ A． Her camera stopped working． B． A woman blocked her view． ‎ C． Someone asked her to leave． D． A friend approached from behind． ‎ ‎62． According to the author，the woman was probably_______． ‎ A． enjoying herself B． losing her patience C． waiting for the sunset D． thinking about her past ‎63． In the author’s opinion，what makes the photo so alive?‎ A． The rich color of the landscape． B． The perfect positioning of the camera． ‎ C． The woman’s existence in the photo． D． The soft sunlight that summer day． ‎ ‎64． The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ________． ‎ A． the need to be close to nature B． the importance of private space C． the joy of the vacation in Italy D． the shared passion for beauty ‎65． The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon _______． ‎ A． a particular life experience B． the pleasure of traveling C． the art of photography D． a lost friendship D ‎ You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which ‎ caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.‎ Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.‎ Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others---and even themselves---to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.‎ In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.‎ In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.‎ ‎66. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?‎ ‎ A. People and things around you. B. Opportunities and problems.‎ ‎ C. Creators and their choices. D. Victims and their sufferings.‎ ‎67. According to Paragraph 2, creators __________.‎ ‎ A. seem willing to experience failures in life B. possess the ability to predict future life ‎ C. handle ups and downs of life wisely D. have potential to create something new ‎68. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?‎ ‎ A. Creators and victims face quite different things in life.‎ ‎ B. Creators and victims are masters of their lives.‎ ‎ C. Victims can influence more people than creators.‎ ‎ D. Compared with victims, creators are more emotional.‎ ‎69. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that _______________.‎ ‎ A. strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims.‎ ‎ B. people need family support to deal with challengers in life.‎ ‎ C. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains.‎ ‎ D. one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life.‎ ‎70. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?‎ ‎ A. To define victims and creators. ‎ ‎ B. To evaluate victims against creators.‎ ‎ C. To explain the relationship between victims and creators.‎ ‎ D. To suggest the transformation from victims to creators.‎ 第Ⅱ卷 注意事项：‎ ‎1.用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在“答题卡”上。‎ ‎2.本卷共2节，共35分。‎ 第一节：阅读表达（共5题，第小题2分，共10分）‎ 第一节：阅读表达（共5题，每题2分，共10分）‎ Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict(迷),” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled(皱的).” Today David wears casual clothes — khaki pants and a sports shirt — to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”‎ More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the changes from formal to casual office wear have been slow. In the early 1990s,many companies allowed their workers to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday).This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for workers has really become an everyday thing,” said business adviser Maisly Jones. Why have so many companies started allowing their workers to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it's easier for a company to attract new workers if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don't want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it's hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study made by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that casual dress has a side effect on work. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.” ‎71.
