13．One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency．You know，you would be submerged（淹沒） in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely．We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy．
The trip was not ve ry long but it was still very impressive．We looked forward to going there again!Of course，we spent lots of time arranging the trip，but it was well worth it!Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa，but everything went quite smoothly in the end．
The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation．In the Italian consulate（領事館），one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa．Then we had to solve the ticket problem．Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance．The next step was to book a hotel．We finally booked a hotel about thirty km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip．
Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome．Our big house，which was surrounded by the forest，was a rare place for the fresh air and absolute silence，beautiful views，hospitable（好客的） hosts，comfortable living conditions which delighted us to no end．Besides this，we were very lucky that our mistress was Russian．She gave us a lot of advice that was of great us．She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go．
Don't be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself．It's not difficult!The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves．We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just twice or three times．So，if you're also planning a"single"trip，don't forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue．
29．Why does the author want to go to Italy again？D
A．He had a great time there．
B．Italy has a lot of attractions．
C．His friend invited him to go there．
D．He didn't stay in Italy long enough
30．What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip？B
A．Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before traveling．
B．Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate．
C．Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome．
D．Solving the ticket problem far in advance．
31．In the fourth paragraph the author mainly explainsB．
A．the reason why he chose to live in the center of Rome
B．the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice
C．what transport they chose to travel in their Italian trip．
D．the reason why the mistress gave them some advice．

分析 本文主要講述了作者和朋友為了更好的了解一個國家，選擇自行旅行．他們在出發(fā)之前做了很多的準備．最困難的部分應屬獲取簽證，然后是買票，最后是訂賓館．他們在羅馬30公里遠的地方住在一個景色很好的地方．每天坐火車去羅馬中心．房東俄國人給了作者很多建議去游玩羅馬．作者建議，不要害怕自行旅行．自行旅行會享受到很多樂趣．我們帶著地圖和導游書走，別忘記帶一半俄意詞典．

解答 29．答案：D．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"The trip was not ve ry long but it was still very impressive．We looked forward to going there again!"可知，作者打算再去意大利旅行一次的原因是上次呆的時間不夠長．故選D．
30．答案：B．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文中句子The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation．可知，最困難的部分是在沒有邀請的情況下獲得簽證．故選B．
31．答案：B．段落大意題．根據(jù)"We finally booked a hotel about thirty km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip．"可知，接下來主要說明了預定這個賓館為何算是明智的選擇．故選B．

點評 本文是一篇科教類閱讀，題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題，段落大意題．做題時學生應仔細閱讀原文，把握文章主要內容，聯(lián)系文章上下文內容并結合所給選項含義，從中選出正確答案，一定要做到有理有據(jù)，切忌胡亂猜測．

8．I was waiting for a phone call from my agent．He had left a message the night before，telling me that my show was to be cancelled．I called him several times，but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later．So I waited and waited，but there was still no call．Three hours passing by，I became more and more impatient．I was certain that my agent didn't care about my work，and he didn't care about me．I was overcome with that thought．I started to shout at the phone，

Then she turned to me．Kissed me and said calmly，"Honey，you just have to learn how to take control．"With that，she left the room．
After watching crazy woman rushing in and out，shouting at everything in sight，I noticed that something in my mood（情緒） had changed．I was laughing．How could I have trouble with that phone？Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things．Twenty minutes later my agent did call．I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly．

5．Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive（欺騙）？When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included，he can give you a false picture．
     For example，someone might say，"I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery（彩票）．It was great．I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"This guy's a winner，right？Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he bought $200 worth of tickets，and only one was a winner．He's really a big loser!He didn't'say anything that was false，but he left out important information on purpose．That's called a half-truth．Half-truths are not technically lies，but they are just as dishonest．
     Some politicians often use this trick．Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term，her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．Then she seeks another term．One of her opponents says，"During Governor Smith's term，the state lost one million jobs!"That's true．However，an honest statement would have been，"During Governor Smith's term，the state had a net gain of two million jobs．"
     Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths．It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth．An advertisement might say，"Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache．"It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company．
     This kind of deception happens too often．It's a sad fact of life：lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can lie as well．
28．We may infer that the author believes people shouldC．
A．buy lottery tickets if possible．
B．m ake use of half-truths．
C．be careful about what they are told．
D．not trust the Yucky Company．
29．How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive？C
A．One．
B．Two．
C．Three．
D．Four．
30．Which of the following is true according to the passage？D
A．Using half-truths is against the law．
B．Technically，half-truths are in fact lies．
C．Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache．
D．Governor Smith did a good job during her last term．
31．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage？B
A．He's really a big loser!
B．Sometimes the truth can lie as well．
C．Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths．
D．It's against the law to make false statements．
