二、阅读理解
Not willing to pay $400 for a basic room or upwards of $1,200 for a suite at a luxury hotel? We hear you. In the past this meant having to put up with cheap hotels. Essentially, you got what you paid for. But all that’s changed, as mid-level hotels have begun competing for a population that travels more than ever. Even in New York and San Francisco—two of the most expensive cities in the country—one can find comfortable, affordable options with much modern convenience. We searched the country for the best hotels under $150.
Hotel 340: St. Paul, Minnesota, US
This twelve-storey English-renaissance building once served as a downtown clubhouse for St. Paul’s elite; today, the restored structure houses Hotel 340 on the top three floors. Its 35 rooms boast hardwood floors, marble (大理石) showers and nice views of the Mississippi River, and room comforts include iPod docks, free local and national telephone calls and coffee makers. The University Club of St. Paul, a posh lobby bar, and an all-new,60,000-square-foot fitness center (free for guests) also share space in the building.
Marina Inn: San Francisco, California, US
Located in the Marina district, where the streets are lined with boutiques (精品店) and great restaurants, the Marina Inn is the ideal place for business or pleasure. Few destinations offer the quality and variety of environment, scenery, entertainment, lodging, and dining that awaits you here at the Marina Inn. It’s a ten-minute walk to Fisherman’s Wharf and there are ample bus connections to take you anywhere in the city.
Hotel Havana: San Antonio, Texas, US
When one thinks of this historic Texas town, usually the southwest comes to mind. So does Mexico. Since 1914, the hotel has served passers-by. The 27 rooms come in all shapes and sizes, many of which include Turkish rugs and vintage Cuban art on the walls. Bathrooms are stocked with Red Flower body care products.
21．When you couldn’t afford a luxury hotel in the past________.

Jo Du was being helped into her beautiful white wedding dress this week when a tooth on the zipper (拉链) broke. It was Sunday in Guelph, Ontario, and no tailor (裁缝) shop was open.
Jo Du didn't want to marry Earl Lee with pins (别针) in the back of her dress. But no one in the wedding party knew how to make the repair.
The best man knocked on a neighbor's door to ask David Hobson if he might have a pair of scissors they could borrow. Mr. Hobson said, “I've got better than tools. I've got a tailor.”
David Hobson had a family of Syrian refugees (难民) living in his home for a few days: a mother, father, and 3 children.
The father of the Syrian family was Ibrahim Halil Dudu. He was a tailor in Syria for 28 years, and as soon as he saw the dress, Ibrahim Dudu got out his sewing (缝) tools and set to work.
“He really sewed her wedding dress back onto her,” Lindsay Coulter, the wedding photographer, told CTV News. “Everyone was so thankful. They said thank you a million times.”
“Every weekend I take photos of people on the happiest days of their lives, and today one man who has seen some of the worst things our world has to offer came to help,”said Lindsay Coulter, who posted photos and wrote on her Facebook page.
“I was so excited and so happy,” Ibrahim Halil Dudu said through a translator.“I like to help Canadian people from my heart.”
Earl Lee called the tailor's skillful repair, an “unbelievable act of kindness”from a“complete stranger who had only stepped foot in this country days ago.”
24．What was a big problem for Jo Du?
A．It was not easy for her to find some pins.
B．Her wedding dress had to be repaired soon.
C．She didn't know where to buy a new zipper.
D．There was something wrong with her scissors.
25．How did Hobson help Jo Du?
A．He introduced a tailor to her.
B．He lent a pair of scissors to her.
C．He helped her find the best man.
D．He helped organize her wedding.
26．Who solved Jo Du's problem in the end?
A．Earl Lee.
B．David Hobson.
C．Ibrahim Dudu.
D．Lindsay Coulter.
27．What can we infer about Lindsay Coulter?
A．She worked as a translator.
B．She felt sorry for the tailor.
C．She was a refugee from Syria.
D．She was a news reporter.
Coffee is an important part of Italian culture and since arriving here over six months ago I have drunk a lot of it!
Of course, coffee is also very popular in the UK but coffee culture in Italy is a completely different story. In Italy, when you order a coffee in a café or bar ( 酒吧), you are served with a tiny, bitter espresso. This is “normal (正常的) coffee” for Italians and they are not so interested in the huge coffees that we drink in the UK. If you want more than one sip (小口) of coffee in Italy, lungo is a good choice. It is espresso with a little more water added, but still served in a small cup.
In addition, while takeaway coffee is quite popular among Brits, it is not very common at all in Italy, especially in non-touristy areas. Generally, Italians prefer to drink their tiny coffees while standing at the bar and, for many, this short break is an important part of their day.
Usually, breakfast in a bar in Italy includes a coffee and a pastry (酥皮糕点). I have been spoiled for choice with lovely cafés in the Italian town I’m living in. These cafés sell different kinds of mouth-watering pastries - either plain (无馅料的) or filled with cream, chocolate, etc - as well as delicious coffee. Cappuccinos are very popular at breakfast time and, for me, a creamy cappuccino and a pastry with chocolate is the perfect way to start the day.
Finally, I have found that coffee in Italy is so much cheaper than coffee in the UK. Normally, an espresso or a macchiato (an espresso with a drop of milk) costs around a euro and a cappuccino about €1.50! They are small, of course, but this means that in Italy it is possible to go out for coffee every day without breaking the bank.
28．How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A．By time.B．By space.C．By example.D．By comparison. 29．Which coffee will you get in Italy if you order one without special instructions?
A．Espresso.B．Lungo.C．Cappuccino.D．Macchiato. 30．What can we learn about the coffee culture in Italy?
A．Takeaway coffee is very popular among Italians.
B．Italians are very often seen drinking huge coffees.
C．Italians like to take short breaks from work for coffee.
D．Coffees are often served along with pastries during breakfasts.
Be at your best!
What does your brain need to work well? Here are some things it needs.
Good food
Experts say that breakfast is much more important than any other meal. 31 . So don’t miss breakfast—especially before an exam! But you need to eat a good breakfast—junk food won’t work.
A regular supply of energy
Your brain needs a regular supply of energy, so you need to eat carbohydrates (碳水化合
物). They’re found in bread, rice, pasta and beans. 32 . They work more quickly than bread and rice, so they give you a short burst (爆发) of energy, but afterwards you feel more tired.
A continuous supply of oxygen (氧气)
Your brain needs oxygen, which it gets from exercise. 33 . You also need a good supply of iron because iron helps your blood to carry oxygen round your body.
Water
34 . Not getting enough water will stop your brain from working well. And remember, water isn’t as expensive as sweet drinks!
35
Your brain needs several hours’ sleep, so it can ‘update’ itself, just like a computer. Experts say that when you study for a test or an exam, you should get some sleep as quickly as possible after you’ve finished studying. This helps you to remember what you’ve learned.
A．A short break
B．A good night’s sleep
C．It works best in the morning.
D．Exercise improves your memory too.
E．Water is much better than sweet drinks.
F．Your brain works better when you have eaten.
G．Chocolate, biscuits and sweets are not good for your brain.

It happened to me last week. I went duck hunting and took my four-­legged friend along. I went into a muddy lake and got stuck. 36 , my dog was right by my side and provided me with
a lifeline. That day, I wanted to place a duck decoy (诱饵) in the lake. I thought it was something
37 to do. I didn’t know that 38 the muddy waters would put my life at risk. When I was 39 in the lake, my legs got stuck in the thick mud. I couldn’t 40 my legs and had to find a way to call for 41 .
