Passage 1
Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit. Whatever your budget is the choice – from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle—is all part of fun.
在英国，可住宿的地方就如可参观的地方那么多。不论你的预算是多少，任何一种选择都是快乐的一部分――从谷仓到小旅馆，从小农舍到大城堡。
Hotel 旅社
Cheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don’t have to be young or single to use them. Britain’s independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse (临时住房) while others are remarkably comfortable--almost like bargain hotels.
廉价、超值的旅社定位在形形色色的趣味相投的重精神超过物质的这类游客群体，而且旅社没有规定游客必须是年轻人或者是单身汉。英国对自助旅行者和背包旅行者也十分欢迎。设施和价格也各不相同，特别是在乡村，有些旅社只比临时住房好一点点，而有些特别舒适――就像可以讨价还价一样。
Youth Hotels 青年旅社
Founded many years ago to “help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside”, the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain’s towns and countryside.
（这种旅社的形式）很多年前就形成了，为了“帮助所有的，特别是资金有限的年轻人，深入了解，喜爱，关心农村。”青年旅行社组织在２１世纪依然盛行。230家的旅社网络是探索英国小镇和农村的最佳门户。
B & Bs 床位和早餐
The B & B (bed and breakfast) is a great British institution. In essence you get a room in somebody’s house, and small B & Bs may only have one guest room, so you’ll really feel like part of the family. Larger B & Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome.
床位与早餐是英国的伟大创举。实际上就是某家的住户为你提供一个房间，小的B& Bs只有一间客房，所以你会觉得自己是这户人家的一份子。大一些的B& Bs可能有４，５个房间和更多是设施，但一样的热情款待。
In country areas your B & B might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: and usually run from around ￡12 to ￡20 per person. City B & Bs charge about ￡25 to ￡30 per person, although they’re often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs.
在农村，B & B可能在一个村庄或者四周都是田地的独立的农场里。价格反映了房间的设施：通常每人在１２到20英镑左右。城市的B & Bs价格在每人２５到３０英镑左右，尽管越到郊区价格越便宜。
Pubs & Inns 酒吧和客栈
As well as selling drinks and meals, Britain’s pubs and inns sometimes offer B & B,
particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of the local community.
除了买酒和饭菜外，英国的酒吧和客栈有时也提供床位和早餐，特别在农村地区。在那里住一两个晚上会十分有趣，并且可以让你处在当地小区的中心。
Rates range from around ￡15 to ￡25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms. (332 words)
价格在每人１５到２５英镑左右。酒吧更有可能拥有独立房间。
6. Is this passage the author mainly ________. A. tells us where to stay while visiting Britain B. advises readers to pay a visit to Britain
C. introduces the wonderful public services in Britain D. gives us some information about British life 这篇文章作者的意图主要是什么？ 告诉我们到英国旅游可以住在哪里。
7. ______ are mainly built for young visitors.
A. Pubs & Inns B. Youth Hotels C. Hostels D. B & Bs 青年旅社主要是为年轻人建的。
8. If you travel alone and want to know better about family life in Britain, you’d better stay in _________.
A. Pubs & Inns B. Youth Hotels C. Hostels D. B & Bs 如果你独自一个人旅游并且想更好地了解英国的居民生活，你可以住在B & Bs
9. If you are interested in traveling with your friends but only with limited means, where is the better place for you to stay? A. Pubs & Inns B. Youth Hotels C. Hostels 旅社 D. B & Bs

10. Which of the following is NOT true according to the last part of the passage? A. Pubs and inns usually provide visitors bed and breakfast. B. All pubs and inns offer visitors bed and breakfast. C. Pubs and inns charge a visitor ￡ 25 at the most.
D. If you want a single room, you are more likely to get one in pubs. 根据文章的最后一段，以下哪句是错误的？ 所有的酒吧和客栈都为旅客提供床位和早餐。
Passage 2
What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is
important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
是什么使一个普通人成为科学家？他有与从不同的学习方法和工具吗？答案是否定的。不是因为科学家使用的工具，而是因为他使用工具的方法使他成为科学家。你也许认同怎么用力对一名木匠来说很重要。你也许也认同怎么研究调查，发现信息对每个人来说都很重要。然而，科学家比这更进一步，他必须确定他对自己的问题得出了一个合理的答案，并且他的答案通过别人也可以得到证实。他同时把自己得出的许多答案归结为一个系统的关于世界如何运作的观点。
The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. (263 words)
科学家的知识必须很确切。不能给半错半对或者只有一半机会对的情况留任何空间。他必须在条件允许的情况下尽可能正确。在一种条件下成功一次的话必须在同样的条件下都能成功。如果条件不同，科学家在证明过程中观察到的任何变化都必须解释他的条件是如何变化的。这是关于调查研究在科学研究中十分重要的其中一个理由。爱因斯坦通过数学方法提出了相对论。他的数学运用的正确性被后人通过调查研究的方法证实该理论是正确的。一个科学家会用很多工具来测量。测量的结果用来进行数学计算，再进行调查研究的测试。
11. What makes a scientist according to the passage? A. The tools he uses. B. The way he uses his tools. C. His ways of learning. D. The various tools he uses. 根据这篇文章的观点科学家是如何来的？ 他使用工具的方法
12. “The scientist, however, goes one step further,” The underlined part in the passage shows _______.
A. the importance of information B. the importance of thinking
C. the difference between scientists and ordinary people D. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs.
“然而，科学家比这更进一步……”作者这么说是为了说明科学家与普通人的区别
13. A sound scientific theory should be one that __________.
A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions
at other times
B. does not allow any changes even under different conditions C. can be used for many purposes D. leave no room for improvement
一项伟大的科学理论应该是：不只是在一种条件下一次可行，而要在同样的条件下一直 可行。
14. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _________. A. that measurements are keys to success in science B. that accuracy of mathematics
C. that the investigations are important in science
D. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations
作者引用爱因斯坦的例子是为了证明调查研究在科学领域十分重要。
15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The theory of relativity.
B. Exactness is the core of science.
C. Scientists are different form ordinary people.
D. Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist. 这篇文章的中心意思是什么？
确切性和使用工具的方法是成为科学家的重要因素。
