Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
I've spent over a year in India,and in those 365 plus days,I've learned a lot about getting around Indian cities.My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated,particularly by taxi and rickshaw (人力车) drivers,but that doesn't mean those are bad ways to travel,as long as you know what you're doing.Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi,India,and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams (欺骗).
Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are,if you arrive in Delhi by plane,as soon as you make it through customs,you'll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers.At the Delhi airport,be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths.One is inside the airport,and one is outside.The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police,rather than by independent taxi drivers.
Rickshaws are one of my favorite ways to get around Indian cities,in part because it's how the locals often travel.Auto-rickshaws are more common,but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi.If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw,
you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees.Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees,depending on distance.
If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals,take a public bus.Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning.They are,however,very cheap.A bus trip won't set you back any more than 15 rupees,as long as you stay within the city limits.Since Indian buses get so crowded,try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.
The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi.Fares are reasonable,between six and 22 rupees.All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English,and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees.

B(教师用书独具)
Holiday makers wanting to get away from the pressure of modern life might consider staying at a wooden hut in Sweden.
The Kolarbyn Eco-Lodge Hotel is not for everyone.If you can't even understand the idea of living without electricity,running water,or a modern toilet,then the charm of this place will probably not appeal to you.But for anyone trying to escape the pressure and busy life of the big city or take a break from the Internet and other modern devices,this place is a paradise (乐园).Located 1 km south of Skarsjon Beach,in the middle of a pristine Swedish forest,Kolarbyn Eco-Lodge consists of 12 wooden huts with nothing but two sheepskin-covered wooden beds,and a wood stove that uses wood cut by the guests themselves.
Self-catering breakfast,lunch and dinner consist of items like spaghetti (通心粉),tomato sauce,bread,fruit and eggs that tourists have to cook themselves over an outside fire;there is no shower,only a nearby spring and as for toilet,visitors are encouraged to go behind a tree,or visit one of the two sheds (棚子).
Adding to the charm of this place is the long coal-making tradition of Kolarbyn.Locals have been building these huts from wood and mud for over 400 years,and a few of them came up with the idea of recreating a few of them in the woods as an eco-lodge to keep tradition alive in the area.
“People visit Kolarbyn lodges because they want to experience the nature and to test sleeping in the historical huts.They want to get away from the normal life,” the owner Andreas Ahlsen said.“The huts themselves are relatively small,as if they are too big,it will destroy the nature experience.”
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍的是Kolarbyn生态酒店。它既简洁又环保,特别适合想要逃避现代生活的人居住。

6.What can we infer about the life in the hotel? A.Living there is a hard experience for everyone.
B.The visit to the hotel means a challenge to many people. C.It's convenient though there is no modern equipment. D.It's kind of like living in paradise for the aged.
B [推理判断题。根据第二段中的“...then the charm of this place will probably not appeal to you.”可知,Kolarbyn生态酒店里的生活对很多人来说将是一个挑战。]
7.What does the underlined word “them” refer to in Paragraph 4? A.Old traditions. C.Wooden huts.

8.Why do people want to visit the Kolarbyn Eco-Lodge Hotel? A.To escape modern life. B.To have a good sleep.
C.To compare rural and city life. D.To experience poverty of locals.
