【題目】London has a huge choice of world class conference centers. All are fitted with state of the art technology including the latest audio and visual equipment.

The Brewery

While the City of London is not short of modern, flexible event spaces, not many can be located(位于) in Grade Ⅱ listed buildings. Founded by Whitbread in the 18th century, the Brewery provides a historical setting for a wide variety of events and conferences.

Central Hall Westminster

Built in 1912 and located just across the road from the Houses of Parliament, the splendid Central Hall Westminster has 22 function rooms and can seat up to 2,160 people in its auditorium (會堂). Visitors can explore the inside of the Edwardian structure for free, with guided tours operating daily from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm.

Originally built in 1928, the place combines traditional charm with modern equipment. It houses a main auditorium, suitable for events of up to 1,000 people, and two halls that can hold 300 people, making it the perfect place for conferences and seminars.

Kings Place

Opened in 2008, Kings Place offers conference organizers two auditoriums, two art galleries and a wide selection of event spaces with great views over Regent's Canal. Bathed in natural light, the Battlebridge Room can be split into two using a movable wall, creating a room for presentations and the other for refreshments and registration (登記).

【題目】閱讀理解
One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest, the next, the air was charged with tension. The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed. I urged the elephant deeper into the forest. We sounded like a forest fire --- cracking, snapping, trailblazing. But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it again --- the tell-tale call of a spotted deer.
I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest. Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches, beneath which the patchwork（交錯）of green plants and shadows-within-shadows would make tiger stripes（條紋）look more attractive. Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant's stomach, the forest was silent.
Gradually, the tension slipped from our bodies. The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into its mouth. I reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant's neck; there was a soft part, free of wrinkles and hairs, behind her ear.
This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett, although I saw no tigers in the end. Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains, Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers, but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts（出沒處）, a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity. Still, I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear. If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger, I could have gone to a zoo. After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty; tracking them can make you aware of something more.
（1）Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm?
A.The elephant stopped.
B.A spotted deer called.
C.The elephant seized a branch.
D.The forest was silent for a while.
（2）The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by _______.
A.describing various sounds
B.comparing different animals
C.listing different activities
D.introducing various plants
（3）What does the underlined part “to sense the aura” most probably mean?
A.To see the diversity.
B.To enjoy the scenery.
C.To feel the atmosphere.
D.To experience the freedom.
（4）How does the author feel after several visits to Corbett?
A.Seeing a Bengal tiger is quite thrilling.
B.It is very time-consuming to travel in Corbett.
C.It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett.
D.The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing.
