Answer 1

5—8 DBAC

B本文主要介紹了幾個(gè)英國(guó)旅游景點(diǎn)的打折促銷活動(dòng)。

5.D信息匹配題。從第三段中信息句Hotels include the Bowling Green apartment in a me?dieval castle on the Isle of Wight...,尤其提示詞castle，可知只有D項(xiàng)所含圖片與原文信息相匹配。

6.B推理判斷題。結(jié)合第四段中City Inn (ht-tp://www.cityinn.com) 和…at their hotels in Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds…兩個(gè)信息點(diǎn)可推知，B項(xiàng)正確。

7.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。通過比較倒數(shù)第二段New price is £495 ,a reduction of £400'和倒數(shù)第三段Seven nights cost £2,969. 50( saves about £1,500) ，顯然易知，Blue Chip Vacations提供的折扣相對(duì)較小，因此A項(xiàng)正確;其他三項(xiàng)中，B 、C兩項(xiàng)與原文信息相反，D項(xiàng)則依據(jù)不足。

8. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從本文的標(biāo)題可知，C項(xiàng)正確;另外，English Heritage一段中并沒有明確提出其預(yù)訂時(shí)間是December,因此排除D 項(xiàng)，其他兩項(xiàng)均易排除。
