【題目】The companies below offer student accommodation(住宿) all around London, no matter what university you are attending. And they limit the complications (復(fù)雜) that other rental companies can have (such as paying for heat and hot water, paying your rent yearly and so on).

CRM Students has 12 different properties (房產(chǎn)) to choose from in London with various size choices depending on your budget and requirements. Prices start from 140 per week.

International Students House is unique because they offer twin, triple and quad rooms, which means they are cheaper per week than others. Of course, you will be sharing your bedroom with up to three other people. Prices start from 78.4 per week.

Prodigy Living has several properties in London (most of which have just been decorated) and offers en-suite (套房) rooms in flats and one-bedroom flats. Prices start from 209 per week.

Scape Living has properties in Greenwich, Surrey and Shoreditch, with the latter two being new apartments as of 2015, which means they will be in pretty good condition. Prices start from 185 per week.

Unite Students offers student accommodation in various areas of London, from en-suite rooms to two-bedroom flats, with lots of sharing choices available. Prices start from 169 per week.

These student housing associations are the best I found on the Internet for cheap student accommodation in London; however, I am aware that new ones are appearing every day. For a full list of associations like these (but most are more expensive than those listed above), I recommend checking out UCL’s alternative accommodation page.

Note: Most rooms require a small deposit (押金), which is typically the same value as your weekly rental price ( for example, 200 per week = 200 deposit before you move in).

【1】Why does the author recommend the companies above?

A．Because they offer all kinds of student accommodation.

B．Because they allow students to pay the rent weekly.

C．Because they mainly provide one-bedroom flats.

D．Because they avoid the need for students to pay extra for facilities (設(shè)施) in the room.

【2】The rent of the houses that International Students House offers is cheaper than others because _________.

A．students have to share the bedrooms with others

B．students needn’t pay for heat and water

C．most of the houses have just been decorated

D．students don’t have the right to choose the room size

【3】How much will you pay if you want to rent a new apartment?

A．At least 140 per week.

B．At least 78.40 per week.

C．At least 195 per week.

D．At least 185 per week.

【答案】

【題目】閱讀下面的文章，從每題后面所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出正確的一項(xiàng)。

A developer edition of Sony’s augmented reality smart glasses will go on sale in ten countries next month, the tech giant has announced.

Pre-orders for the SmartEyeglass, costing $840 (620), are now being taken in the UK and Germany, with Japan and the US to follow shortly. The black-framed glasses are compatible (兼容的) with recent Android operating systems. Last month Google announced that it was withdrawing its smart glasses for redevelopment. Sony’s initial model will come with a software development kit to encourage people to design apps for it, the company said.

The glasses, which weigh 77g, contain an accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, image and brightness sensors, 3-megapixel camera and a microphone. They also come with a controller, designed to be attached to clothing, which contains a speaker, touch sensor and the device’s battery. Text is displayed in front of the wearer in monochrome green.

Apple chief executive Tim Cook has been open about his dislike of glasses as a wearable device. “We always thought that glasses were not a smart move, from a point of view that people would not really want to wear them,” he told the New Yorker. “They were intrusive (闖入的), instead of pushing technology to the background, as we’ve always believed.”

Stuart Miles, founder of tech site Pocket-lint, said: “I think [Sony is] wasting their time, energy and effort.”

“Google Glass obviously needed a complete rethink... I can’t see how something thick-rimmed and more invasive-looking than Google Glass is going to catch on.

“People are keen on wearables like fitness bands and watches, but they care about their faces. Wearing something on your head is a lot stronger than wearing something on your arm,” he added. “The industry keeps pushing it but consumers just don’t want it.”

【1】 In which countries people can get the SmartEyeglass first?

A. The US and Japan. B. The US and the UK.

C. The UK and Japan. D. Germany and the UK.

【2】The purpose of this passage is to __________.

A. introduce an accelerometer developed by the Google company

B. tell the people that the SmartEyeglass will go on sale

C. people like the glasses very much

D. the SmartEyeglass is less than 840 yuan

【3】What can be inferred from what Stuart Miles said?

A. He supports Sony’s efforts to develop the SmartEyeglass.

B. He cares more about his clothes and face.

C. He dislikes the SmartEyeglass.

D. He really wants to wear them.

【題目】短文改錯(cuò)

Dear editor，

I’m sorry to occupy your precious time，and I really want to tell you anything about the problem of some people keeping too many pets nowadays．I take the problem more and more seriously for the following reason．First of all，as it is known to people，pets make loud noise that trouble residents a lot．What’s more，it is widely accepted that animal waste pollutes the environment，where makes people quite uncomfortable．Many owners like taking their pets to public place where they may frighten children or even bite people．The mostly important is that pets can spread some diseases and this has attracted much attention．Take all these factors into consideration，I sincerely hope that I can get help from you and expect the media do something for this．

Yours truly，

Wang Lin
