【題目】Booking a trip on an online travel site is convenient, but comes with its own set of problems.

◆They know who's going to spend more.

Last year, US travel research company Orbitz tracked people's online activities to test out whether Mac users spend more on travel than PC users. It turns out that on average, Mac users lay out US $20-30 more per night on hotels. As a result, online travel sites show these users more expensive travel options first. To avoid paying more, sort results by price.

◆Their software doesn't always link to the hotel's system.

A guaranteed reservation is almost impossible to come by anywhere — but the risk of your flight or hotel being overbooked increases with third-party providers. The middleman's software isn't immune(防護作用的) to system errors, so always call the hotel or airline to make sure your booking was processed.

◆Don't be fooled by packages: Often, they're low-end items grouped together.

Ever notice how travel sites recommend a hotel, a rental car, and tour package all in one click? These deals usually feature travel that no one wants, like flights with multiple layovers(中途停留). Check the fine print.

◆Once your trip is purchased, you're on your own.

An online travel agency can't provide assistance the same way an agent can if a flight is cancelled or a room is substandard. Basically, when you arrive at the airport or hotel, you're just another customer who booked at the lowest rate.

【1】What does the writer mainly intend to tell readers?

A. Steps of reserving a hotel on line

B. Tips of how to reserve flights on line

C. Problems about reserving a trip on line

D. Traps in reserving hotels and flights on line

【2】Why do people probably spend more on their online reservation for trips?

A. They are shown less expensive travel options first

B. Some of the travel expenses are earned by Mac users

C. They book at prices recommended first by travel sites.

D. Their flights or hotels are overbooked by tourist agencies

【3】What can we lean from the passage?

A. Booking online is better than booking in other ways

B. The third parties will provide good travel services on line

C. Few people book trips on line because of possible troubles

D. Travelers’ interests may not be guaranteed with booking on line.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】C

【3】D

【解析】本文講述了網(wǎng)上訂票去旅行很方便，但是會出現(xiàn)一系列問題，比如泄露個人隱私…，以及注意事項。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)首段Booking a trip on an online travel site is convenient, but comes with its own set of problems.網(wǎng)上預訂旅行方便但是有一系列問題。得知本文寫作目的是要提醒讀者網(wǎng)上定旅程會出現(xiàn)的問題。故選C。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段As a result, online travel sites show these users more expensive travel options first.由于在線旅游網(wǎng)站會首先刊登較貴的旅程，因此網(wǎng)上預訂旅行的用戶會花費更多。故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段Once your trip is purchased, you're on your own..一旦你在網(wǎng)上預訂了旅行，就要靠自己了。得知在網(wǎng)上定旅程的旅游者的利益不能得到保障。故選D。

【題目】When I was young, my father had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood. I remember the shiny box on the wall. But I was too little to reach it. I could only listen to my mother talk on it.

I discovered that inside the-wonderful box lived an amazing person whose name was Information Please. There was nothing she did not know.

One day my mother went out. I accidentally hurt my finger when I was playing with a hammer. I walked around the house sucking my finger, finally seeing the telephone. Quickly I dragged a chair over and climbed up.

“Information Please, ”I spoke into the receiver. A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear. “Information.”

“I hurt my finger…”I cried into the phone.

“Isn’t your mother home?” came the question.

“Nobody’s home but me.” I sobbed.

“Are you bleeding?” the voice asked.

“No,” I replied, “I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts.”

“Can you open your icebox?” she asked. I said I could.

“Then take a little piece of ice and hold it to your finger.” said the voice.

After that, I called “Information Please” for everything. I asked her for help with my geography and she told me where Philadelphia was. She helped me with my math. She told me her name was Sally.

Then, there was the time my pet canary（金絲雀）died. I called “Information Please” and told Sally the sad story. “Why is it that birds sing so beautifully and bring joy to all families, only to end up as a pile of feathers?” She listened, then said quietly, “Paul, always remember that there are other worlds to sing in.” Somehow, I felt better.

One day when I called “Information Please” again, a different voice answered “Information.”

I asked for Sally. “Are you a friend?” she said.

“Yes,” I answered.

“I’m sorry to have to tell you this,” she said. “She died five days ago.” Before I could hang up she said, “Wait a minute. Did you say your name was Paul?”

“Yes.”

“Well, Sally left a message for you. The note said, ‘Tell him I still say there are other worlds to sing in. He’ll know what I mean.’” I thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally meant.

【2】Through the help from Sally, it can be inferred that __________.

To my greatly surprise, it didn’t take a long time to do it. As time went by, I found that I was not happy with just repairing my breaking bracelets. I started making new bracelets out the materials from my old one. Later on, I begin to design on my own.
