11.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 sees 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 8,000 plant species;it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.
The multibranched Torch Aloe here is impressive.The African plant produces red flowers above bluegreen 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 wildlifeenthusiasts.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 rooms.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 Grant Chester in the south Cambridge shire 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.
36.As mentioned in the passage,there is a small charge forB.
A.a(chǎn)ttending the masters'classB.learning life drawing
C.working with local artists         D.seeing an exhibition

分析 本文屬于廣告類閱讀,文章中提供了三則廣告,讓大學(xué)生的周末假期過(guò)得有意義,提供給了大學(xué)生們休閑的地方.

解答 36.B  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 classes for which there is a small fee."可知在學(xué)習(xí)生活畫中有一個(gè)小的費(fèi)用,故選B.
37.D  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.The African plant…"可知,Torch Aloe是一種植物.根據(jù)第三段中"…,a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and…"可知,Venus Flytrap也是一種植物.而且它們都是令人印象深刻的植物,故選D.
38.A  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 time walking in the village."可知,他花了大量時(shí)間在村子里散步,因此可看出他喜歡散步,故選A.
39.C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三則廣告中第二段"A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside,the pool is surrounded by beautiful 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C項(xiàng)正確,同時(shí)排除AB兩項(xiàng).根據(jù)最后一句"…Virginia Woolf-over a century after Byron,she reportedly took 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,故可以排除D項(xiàng).故選C.
40.D  主旨大意題.根據(jù)文章首句"Still seeking a destination for your weekend break?There are some places which are probably a 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.故選D.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀理解時(shí)要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問(wèn)題回到原文,尋找細(xì)節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.

Nowadays,young men look so busy in modern society that they will never feel free to live or talk with their
parents,even on some festival days.However,to the parents,what they really hope for is that their children can
come to see them just for a little time to give them a frequent telephone call.
The older they get,the more our old parents will feel.However busy we may be,wwe should try our best to
spend more time talking with them and accompanying them.It isnot just because they once gave us so much
selfless love,but it's our duty to look after them well..
