Holiday News

Vacancies(空位) now and in the school holidays at a country hotel in Devon. This comfortable, friendly home-from-home lies near the beautiful quiet countryside, but just a drive away from the sea. The food is simple but good. Children and pets are welcome. Reduced prices for low season.

The snowdonia Centre

The Snowdonia Centre for young mountain climbers has a mountain climbing lesson. The beginners’ costs are ￡57 for a week, including food and rooms. Equipment is included except walking shoes, which can be hired at a low cost.

You must be in good health and prepared to go through a period of body exercises. This could be the beginning of a lifetime of mountain climbing adventure.

The World Sea Trip of a Lifetime

Our World Sea Trip of 2008 will be unlike any holiday you have ever been on before. Instead of one hotel after another, with all its packing and unpacking, waiting and traveling, you just go to bed in one country and wake up in another.

On board the ship, you will be well taken care of. Every meal will be first-class and every cabin like your home.

During the trip, you can rest on deck(甲板), enjoy yourself in the games rooms and in the evening dance to our musical team and watch our wonderful play.

You will visit all the places most people only dream about — from Acapulco and Hawaii to Tokoy and Hong Kong.

For a few thousand pounds, all you’ve ever hoped for can be yours.

What can you do if you like to go on holidays with pets?

   A. Choose the holiday in Devon.               B. Go to the Snowdonia Centre.

   C. Join the World Sea Trip of 2008.       D. Visit Acapulco and Hawaii.

In what way is the Snowdonia Centre different from the other two holidays?

   A. It provides chances of family gatherings.   B. It provides customers with good food.

   C. It offers a sports lesson.                 D. It offers comfortable rooms.

What is special about the World Sea Trip of 2008?

   A. You can have free meals on deck every day.

B. You can sleep on a ship and tour many places.

   C. You will have chances to watch and act in a play.

   D. You have to do your own packing and unpacking.

【小題1】A

【小題2】C

【小題3】B


解析:

【小題1】從Holiday News倒數(shù)第二句話可知：孩子和寵物是受歡迎的。故如要帶寵物度假的話，只能選擇A項。

【小題2】從The snowdonia Centre第一句話可知：The snowdonia Centre給登山者提供登山培訓課。A項并沒有提到；B、D項是一般的度假中心都提供的。

【小題3】上面的兩個旅游項目都是一次在一個地方的，而本旅游則是在睡覺的時候在一個國家，而醒來時則到了另一個國家，這便是它的特別之處。故B項正確。

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.

    “We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”

    I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VACANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘holidays’ is ‘vacaciones’. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‘VACANCLES’, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said ‘NO VACANCLES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!

    We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold.

    English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.”

My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.

  A. learning English                         B. finding places to stay in England

  C. driving their car on English roads           D. going to England by car

‘NO VACANCIES’ in English means ______.

  A. no free rooms          B. free rooms      C. not away on holiday    D. holidays

When someone offered me more coffee and I said “Thank you” in French, I ______.

  A didn’t really want any more coffee           B. wanted them to take the coffee pot away

  C. really wanted some more coffee             D. wanted to express my politeness

I was surprised when the coffee pot was taken away because I ______.

  A. hadn’t finished drinking my coffee          B. was expecting another cup of coffee

  C. meant that I didn’t want any more           D. was never misunderstood
