【題目】閱讀理解
When you are travelling in Thailand, which means of transport is the best choice?
You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand. It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north. The most popular bikes are the little 125 cc Honda Dream which you can get for about 150 baht (銖) a day or as little as 3,000 baht per month, making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.
Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi. When you are in cities in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, always remember to get a taxi that is traveling on the roads. Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the meter(計程表). They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!
The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good, so renting cars is another way to get around. The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable(合理的) price. It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West. Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand, more expensive than American prices, but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe. In the past, Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in—signs were generally in Thai only, making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around. But now, the situation is improved. In a lot of places, even the farthest corners of the country, street signs are in both Thai and English.
(1)To a foreigner, the most economical way to get around Thailand is renting a ________.
A.motorbike
B.car
C.taxi
D.bike
(2)What is the writer's advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?
A.To make sure there is a meter in it.
B.To take a taxi parked outside hotels.
C.To take a taxi going on the road.
D.To bargain with the driver over the price.
(3)It was difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past because ________.
A.there were too many traffic jams on the roads
B.the signs were written only in their own language
C.there were no signs at the farthest corners
D.the quality of the roads was not good

【答案】
(1)D
(2)C
(3)B
【解析】本文介紹了在泰國旅行所用的交通工具及一些注意事項。

(1)D 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一、二句You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand. It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north.可知,自行車最受歡迎,故選D。

(2)C 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二句When you are in cities in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, always remember to get a taxi that is traveling on the roads. 可知,要乘在馬路上行駛的出租車。故選C。

(3)B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句In the past, Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in—signs were generally in Thai only, making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around.可知,在過去,泰國的行駛的標志都用泰語書寫。故選B。

【題目】Boston Tourist Attractions and Sightseeing

Duck Tours

One of the most popular tours in and around Boston are the legendary Duck Tours, which show you the best that the city has to offer. World War II vehicles take you on a scenic drive around the most famous sites and attractions in the city. With interesting explanation, this novel tour is an enjoyable and fun way to see the city and very much recommended.

New England Aquarium

The aquarium is home to over 7,000 fish and a collection of many different sea creatures. The city’s most visited tourist attraction is complete with exhibit space, gift shop and a cafe with spectacular views of the city and harbor. It also offers whale-watching tours with indoor and outdoor seating — and even seal or walrus (海象) shows.

Boston Public Library

Built in 1848, the Boston Public Library was the first free publicly supported city library in America. With more than 650,000 photographs, 100,000 prints and 250 different papers in the “Newspaper Room” the library now has Internet access, two restaurants and an on-line store with reproductions of its priceless artwork. All exhibits are open to the public and books m only the beginning.

Bull and Finch Pub - Home of Cheers

This world-famous pub is the inspiration for the hugely successful sitcom (情景喜劇) “Cheers”. Although the outside is the same as on television, the inside is completely different. However, although unexpected, this is not a real disappointment as the busy pub is full of reminders of Cheers. The menu serves typical bar food, and is very popular with tourists

If visiting family or staying at one of the luxury Boston hotels downtown, you may want to corner purchasing a “Boston City Pass” as this will enable you to pay half price for most the finest attractions.

【題目】閱讀理解
Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem (自信心). Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are always victims. They are leaves tossed (搖擺) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing (培育) the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks (挫折).
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it. You are on the road to success.
(1)People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ________.
A.can't exercise control over themselves
B.are easily affected by windy weather
C.don't have the power to face their fate
D.are ready to change their minds
(2)Losers would think that ________.
A.success is the result of hard work
B.working hard will lead to success
C.they fail only because of bad luck
D.they don't make efforts to succeed
(3)It can be inferred from the fifth paragraph that ________.
A.setting our expectations is essential before taking action
B.knowing cause and effect is the key to future success
C.thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D.whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes
(4)The last paragraph serves as ________.
A.the proof of the author's points
B.the conclusion of the argument
C.an introduction to another topic
D.a comparison between two views

Dear Tom,
I'm glad to hear that you are considering make up with Peter. If I am you, I would consider a bike as a birthday present for him.
As far as I know it, Peter is always in poor health so he can take more exercises by riding a bike to build up his body. In the meanwhile, you can often go outing by bike together, which is helpfully in rebuilding your friendship. Beside, taking a bike is an environmentally-friendly means of transport. It's convenient him to get around as well.
Apart from giving him the gift, you can also adopt other means, such as traveling, seeing a movie, having dinner and going shopping. No matter how you do, being sincere was the most important. I really hope that you can be good friends forever.
Best wishes!
