9.Still seeking a destination for your weekend break?There are some places which are
probably a mere walk away from your college.
King's Art Centre
A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most
interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere.This weekend tees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.
You could attend a class teaching you how to'learn from the masters'or get more creative with paint----free of charge.
The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.
The Botanic Garden
The Garden has over 8,000plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.
The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive.The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves,and is not one to miss.
Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula,a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.
The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts.Look for grass snakes in the lake.A snake called'Hissing Sid'is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.
Byron's Pool
Many stories surround Lord Byron's time as a student of Cambridge University,Arriving in 1805,he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of"mess and drunkenness".However,it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough.I'm not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his roans.He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.
It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake,which is now known as Byron's Pool.A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside,the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields.The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea.If you don't trust me,then perhaps you'll take it from Virginia Woolf-----over a century after Byron,she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.

分析 仍然在尋找周末休息的目的地嗎?有些地方可能離你的大學(xué)只有幾步之遙.然后介紹了國(guó)王藝術(shù)中心、植物園和拜倫潭三處可供大學(xué)生休閑的地方.

解答 61.答案:C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一則廣告中最后一句"The Centre also runs two life drawing classesfor which there is a small fee."可知..
62.答案:B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二則廣告中第二段首句"The multibranched Torch Aloe here is impressive.TheAfrican plant…"可知,Torch Aloe是一種植物.根據(jù)第三段中"…,aplant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and…"可知,Venus Flytrap也是一種植物..
63.答案:B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三則廣告中第一段最后一句"He spent a great deal of timewalking in the village."可知,他花了大量時(shí)間在村子里散步.
64.答案:A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三則廣告中第二段"A couple of miles pastGrantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside,the pool is surrounded bybeautiful circular paths around the fields.(拜倫潭位于劍橋郡南部鄉(xiāng)村格蘭切斯特幾英里處,周圍是環(huán)繞田野的美麗的環(huán)形小路)"可知A項(xiàng)正確,排除B、C項(xiàng).根據(jù)最后一句"…Virginia Woolf-over a century after Byron,she reportedlytook a trip to swim in the same pool."可知弗吉尼亞•伍爾芙并不是發(fā)現(xiàn)拜倫潭的人,只是繼拜倫之后,在此游過(guò)泳,故排除D項(xiàng).
65.答案:A 主旨大意題.根據(jù)文章首句"Still seeking a destination for your weekendbreak?There are some places which are probablya mere walk away from your college."可知,這三則廣告都是提供給大學(xué)生周末休閑的.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做這類題時(shí)不僅要注意短文中與題干有關(guān)的細(xì)節(jié),也要注重首段和每一段的小標(biāo)題.
