here we help with ways to cut your costs.avoid big events big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the 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 youre looking for a big event to pass your time check out sites such as w, which allow you to search for events in the uk by city, date and category.stay away from the station if travelling to your destination by train, you may want to find a base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.dont be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at travelodges 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 selfcatering 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 oneill flat on edinburghs royal mile, available for 420 for five days in late september, with room for four adults.get on a bike londons 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).46. the brighton comedy festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may _.a. help travellers pass time b. attract lots of travellers to the ukc. allow travelers to make flexible plans d. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation47. “farrington” in paragraph 5 is most probably _.a. a hotel away from the train station b. the tube line to covent gardenc. an ideal holiday destination d. the name of a travel agency48. the passage shows that the oneill flat _.a. lies on the ground floor b. is located in central londonc. provides cooking facilities for tourists d. costs over 100 on average per day in late september49. cardiffs programm allows a free bike for a maximum period of _.a. half an hour b. one hour c. one hour and a half d. two hoursban 80yearold man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45yearold son. suddenly a crow (乌鸦) landed on their window. the father asked his son, what is that? the son replied, that is a crow. after a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, what is this? the son said, father, i told you just now. its a crow.after a little while, the father asked his son the same question for the third time, what is this? this time, the son said to his father in a low and cold tone, its a crow, a crow. after a moment, the father yet again asked his son for the fourth time, what is this? this time his son shouted at his father, why do you keep asking me the same question again and again? i have told you already, it is a crow. are you not able to understand this?a minute later the father went to his room and came back with a diary, which he had kept since his son was born. on opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa when a crow suddenly landed on the window edge. my son asked me 23 times what it was, and i replied him 23 times that it was a crow. i hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. i didnt at all feel angry, but instead felt affection for my son. if your parents reach old age, do not look at them as a burden, but speak to them gently, and be kind to them. from today say this aloud, i want to see my parents happy forever. they have cared for me ever since i was a little child. they have always showered me with love. i will take care of my old parents in the best way no matter how they behave.50. the writer mainly intends to _.a. tell us the function of a diary b. call on us to love our parents c. teach us what a crow is d. introduce a pair of son and father51. the underlined word affection (last but one para.) probably means _.a. puzzlement b. hatred (恨) c. worry d. love52. we can infer that the father wrote that piece of diary at the age of _.a. eighty b. three c. thirtyeight d. fortyfive53. the old man brought out the diary, which he had kept since his son was born, because _.a. he forgot what had happened b. he would like his son to read it c. it could remind himself of the past d. he wanted to find what a crow wasca man once telephoned norman vincent peale. he was despondent and told the reverend that he had nothing left to live for. peale invited the man over to his office. “everything is gone, hopeless,” the man told him. “im living in deepest darkness. in fact, ive lost heart for living altogether.”norman vincent peale smiled sympathetically. “lets take a look at your situation,” he said calmly. on a sheet of paper he drew a vertical line down the middle. he suggested that they list on the left side the things the man had lost, and on the right, the things he had left. “you wont need that column on the right side,” said the man sadly. “i have nothing left.”peale asked, “when did your wife leave you?” “what do you mean? she hasnt left me. my wife loves me!” “thats great!” said peale enthusiastically. “then that will be number one in the righthand column wife hasnt left. now, when were your children jailed?” “thats silly. my children arent in jail!” “good! thats number two in the righthand columnchildren not in jail,” said peale, jotting it down.after a few more questions in the same vein, the man finally got to point and smiled in spite of himself（不由自主地）. funny, how things change when you think of them that way,” he said.change your thoughts and you change your world.54. the author suggested_a. we should ask for help when we are in troubleb. we should think of the things in a positive wayc. people in depression need understandingd. we should stop people who want to die55. the man had lost heart for living because _ a. his wife had left him b. he had lost everything in his life c. he only thought of the dark side of his lifed. he had been living a miserable life56. peale drew a straight line on a sheet of paper to_a. show the man how to divide a piece of paperb. help the man analyze his situationc. make a list of things he needs to do d. show his kindness57. we can infer that the man in depression eventually _a. went home happily b. filled the left column with bad thingsc.find funny things in his mind d. killed himselfdif you are looking to put a tree in your home for christmas, there is always one debate that seems to arise in most households: whether you want a real tree or a fake tree: year after year, as we find ourselves cleaning old pine needles（松针） for months on end, we decide that we will never get another real tree. so that begs the question: which kind of tree is better? there is certainly a lot to be said for real trees. there is something fun about gathering the family together, going to a christmas tree farm, and selecting or even cutting down your own tree. real christmas trees have that lovely holiday pine needle smell and they look great in your home.of course, on the other hand, they also leave a complete mess behind and needles that seem to keep appearing for weeks or even months after the tree comes down. you must also find a way to deal with your real christmas tree after youve done, which may mean cutting it into pieces so it will fit in the trash. many dustmen will refuse to take away a tree that is left beside your regular trash, especially if it is a big tree or an old, yellow one with falling needles, making it hard to pick up. they dont want a face full of sharp needles any more than you do!with a fake christmas tree, there is no mess, but there is also no christmas smell and no exciting trip to the christmas tree farm. of course, these trees look the same in appearance as a real tree when decorated. many of them come already with lights, so using that old, string of lights will be a thing of the past. for some people, a can of pine air freshener（清新剂） is enough to recreate the pleasant smell of a real tree.as to which tree is the better choice, it is really a matter personal preference. both real and fake trees certainly have their benefits, and knowing which is better for you this christmas really depends on what your family wants.58. which of the following shows the benefits of real christmas trees?a. providing more fun b. easy to clean upc. giving off a natural smell d. easy to decorate a. a, c b.a,d c. b, c d.b,d 59. whats the authors attitude towards this debate?a. objective b. disapproving c. skeptical d. optimistic 60. which of the following shows the structure of the text.a. b.c.d.：第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下边的af选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。e涂ab, f 涂aca. exercise regularly and make it funb. look for ways of helping other peoplec. look back over your life and remember the happy timed. appreciate just what you have got in your life right nowe. create a fun break every day even if only for 10 to 15 minutesf. cut down on the amount of negative information such as through the mediatips for being happier61. stay well informed, but watching news reports over and over again about things you can do nothing about will bring dark clouds into your life. especially refuse to listen to weather reports. notice how weather reporters in the uk describes the weather as being gloomy or miserable rather than just saying it is cold, rainy or windy ! you can choose how you feel regardless of what the weather is like. remember, the weather is just the weather.62. for example, stop complaining that you dont have a slimmer body and be grateful that you can walk. begin today to tell all the people in your life now much you appreciate then being there for you. remember to show your appreciation also for those people who make life so easy for you such as the postman and the cleaner. also, tell at least one person today just what you like about them.63. this will stop you focusing so much on yourself and your current life situation. perhaps you would like to volunteer in your local charity shop, school or even a sponsored parachute jump. look to do anything for others that will be different and will get you out of your comfort zone at the same time. a lot of people volunteer and help out over christmas, bu
