  Edgar felt quite excited at the thought of his first swim of the summer.With the sun shining down so strongly, the sea was certain to be warm enough.He walked quickly along the sea-front towards the steps that led on to the sands.He smiled carefully at the passers.He had just smiled and raised his hat to an elderly lady when a man with a camera caught his arm and stopped him.Edgar heard a little buzzing noise from the camera.

  “Your photograph, sir, in glorious color in just one moment if you please,”said the man in one breath.

  Then the buzzing stopped, and he held the photograph in his hand and was waving it to and fro.In a moment he handed it over, and Edgar saw the bright blue splash(色斑)of his shirt half filling the picture.

  “Seventy pence, sir,”the man said.“It's the bargain of your holiday.”

  “Seventy pence,”Edgar repeated, mildly,“for this?”he stared at the photograph.

  “They're normally eighty-five, sir, but for a single subject I make a cut-price offer.It's the best value you'll get in Chadwell.”“You'll have to make a better offer,”Edgar said.It was a good photo though, he thought, so bright and clear.His hat was held high, and he was smiling broadly to the old lady, whose arm and handbag came into a lower corner.He had had no idea that he was being snapped(快照).He thought he was really quite a good-looking chap(小伙子).

  “That's as good as any studio job that would cost you pounds,”said the cameraman,“it's better in a way because it's so natural.Only seventy pence, sir.”

  “I've never paid so much for a snap in my life.It simply isn't worth that kind of money.It's not as if I need the thing.Look, I'll give you twenty-five.”

  “No, I can't do that.Each of these instant colour shot costs me 50P-that's the blank frame(結(jié)構(gòu)), so you see…”

  “Criminal, criminal,”Edgar broken in.“You want a profit(利潤)of forty percent.Well, not at my expense, I'm afraid I'll give you your 50P and that's that.”

  “Let me see, then.”The man suddenly took the photograph out of Edgar's hand.“I can't waste any more time with you.It's 70P or I keep it.”

  “Keep it,”Edgar said.He turned, looked out to sea, then walked quickly away.

第三部分  閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。?

More and more people are choosing to take their holidays in the UK rather than travel abroad.

In the late 1970s, air travel became affordable for the average family in the UK, and more and more British people started traveling abroad for their summer holidays. After all, the British weather wasn't very good, even in summer, so a lot of British people left the UK for a vacation. Particularly popular with families on a budget was the "package holiday", where the cost of flights and hotels were offered as one discounted price by travel agents.

In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier on average, or at least had more money left after they spent on the living cost. As a result, they started to go abroad in groups, to places such as Spain and Greece.

British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Climate change means that the UK now has a hotter climate than before, so people do not need to go abroad to find good weather. Also, the credit problem has affected the international value of the British pound, so going abroad is more expensive than it used to be. As a result, more and more British people are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.

This year, British hotels in areas such as the English Lake District have seen a 40 percent increase in booking compared with last year. That rise is mainly owing to the British staying in their own country for their holidays. In addition, however, foreign tourists are now finding the UK cheaper to visit than previously.

In the UK, the national tourism industry — when people go on holiday in their own country — is healthier than it has been in decades. The UK has always been famous for its international explorers. It is only just starting to discover itself, however.?

1. The underlined phrase "package holiday" in Paragraph 2 means a holiday________.

   A. offered by hotels                        B. with a package

   C. including flights                        D. with less expense

2. We can infer from the passage that________.

   A. the value of British pound has become a huge problem

   B. young people in the UK spend more than their parents

   C. British people think of a hot summer as good weather

   D. many Greek people leave for the UK for their business

3. Why do some British hotels have an increase in booking this year?

   A. Because many people have seen the Lake District.

   B. Because hotels in the Lake District are very cheap.

   C. Because more British spend their holiday home.

   D. Because foreign tourists have found these hotels.

4. What's the writer's attitude towards the British tourism industry?

   A. Optimistic.       B. Negative.         C. Doubtful.         D. Noble.
