AWhen I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car, before they left, they asked me about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at "bed and breakfast" houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories."We didn't stay at bed and breakfast houses, "they said .“Because we found that most families were away on holiday .”I thought this was strange . Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “V ACANCIES" meant "holidays" because Spanish word for "holiday" is "vacaciones" they did not go to houses where the sign outside said "VACANCIES", which in English me ant there are free rooms. Then my friends went to houses where the sig n said “NO V ACANCIES", because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, a word very similar to “DIVERSION” means fun. In English it means that workman is repairing the road, and that you must take a different road when my friends saw the word “DIVERSION" on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said "Thank you" in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found o ut that “Thank you" in French means “No, thank you”.11.My Spanish friends wanted advice about________.A. learning EnglishB. finding places to stay in EnglandC. driving their car on English roadsD. going to England by car12.

His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again. After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night. We found him just in time.This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, if he had made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path.Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it's still largely a question of observation. A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he is still likely to turn around many times, but he is seldom lost.There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the "lost" situation. A rainstorm may catch him without a compass in his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn't show up. This false pride may lead him to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He'll be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.16. The writer suggested that if the man had not been found, _______.A. he would have been shot by a gunB. he would have become confusedC. he would have been attacked by wild animalsD. he would have been in great danger17. According to the text, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very beginning, _______.A. he will worry about being laughed atB. he will push himself to find his way outC. he will feel sorry that he didn't prepare well enoughD. he will feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friends18. What is the most important when a person tries to find his way in the woods?A. Intelligence.B. Observation.C. Direction.D. Chance.19. The writer tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who______.A. go into the woods by themselvesB. keep their head when they are in troubleC. are frightened when they think they are lostD. don't know how to signal for help properly20. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. A Man Lost in the WoodsB. Timely Rescue in the WoodsC. Don't Panic When Lost in the WoodsD. A Pathfinder in the WoodsCSydney is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and the 2000 Olympic games put it on the map as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world. Any trip to Sydney is an adventure and with some of the world’s beautiful beaches, this city has so much to offer. Sydney is so large an area that choosing a hotel is something you need to do very carefully. Public transport is good, butit can be slow and being close to where you want to be is probably the most important factor.The first and most obvious choice is hotels around Circular Quay. Circular Quay is the heart of the city and one of the major interchanges where trains, buses and ferries meet. I t’s also where Sydney’s two most famous landmarks are located —the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge. This area is active and offers some of the best views you will ever get from a hotel room.The farther hotels in the city are much more suited to business travelers and they are usually less expensive. Daring Harbor is a great choice as it mixes a great view with being right in the center of the city. Darling Harbor has hundreds of pubs, clubs and restaurants along the water’s edge.If you do n’t feel like dealing with the hustle and bustle of the city and are looking for something a bit quieter, why not head out to the Northern Beaches? It’s only a short ferry ride over to Manly where you can find two major hotels on the beach with a number of smaller boutiques (时装店，精品店).21. What made Sydney famous as one of the most lively and modern cities in the world?A. Its traditional culture.B. its beaches and hotels.C. The traffic system.D. The 2000 Olympics.22.
