B]。 信息推斷。 根據(jù)文中的信息,年輕人向朋友或網(wǎng)絡尋求職業(yè)建議,而不是在學校里得到專業(yè)的職業(yè)規(guī)劃建議( Most rely on friends but many are turning to the Inter for advice instead.)。因而專家提出職業(yè)服務應該有所作為( “... career service needs to embrace this”, say the experts.)。 PART Ⅱ READING COMPREHENSION TEXT A 【語篇分析】 本文是一篇記敘文, 文章采用 S (Specific)— G (General)的結構模式, 主要談了作者一家人去伊斯坦布爾旅行的經(jīng)歷。 — 我們想帶孩子出去開闊視野, 經(jīng)過反復考慮,決定去伊斯坦布爾。但朋友們卻不太贊同我們帶孩子去那個危險的地方。 學英語 找長喜 10 — 朋友們好心的提醒沒有改變我們的計劃,我們踏上了去伊斯坦布爾的旅程,并在那兒呆了六天時間,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)情況遠遠好過什么的預期。 總結該詞旅行的經(jīng)歷。 [11C]We had been wanting to expand our children?s horizons by taking them to a place that was unlike anything we?d been exposed to during our travels in Europe and the United States. In thinking about what was possible from Geneva, where we are based, we decided on a trip to Istanbul, a twohour plane ride from Zurich. [11C]We envisioned the trip as a prelude to more exotic ones, perhaps to New Delhi or Bangkok later this year, but thought our 11 and 13yearolds needed a first step away from manicured boulevards and pristine monuments. What we didn?t foresee was the reaction of friends, who warned that we were putting our children “in danger,” referring vaguely, and most incorrectly, to disease, terrorism or just the unknown. To help us get acquainted with the peculiarities of Istanbul and to give our children a chance to choose what they were particularly interested in seeing, we bought an excellent guidebook and read it thoroughly before leaving. Friendly warnings didn?t change our planning, [12A]although we might have more prudently checked with the . State Department?s list of troublespots. We didn?t see a lot of children among the foreign visitors during our sixday stay in Istanbul, [12A]but we found the tourist areas quite safe, very interesting and varied enough even to suit our son, whose oftrepeated request is that we not see “every single” church and museum in a given city. Vaccinations weren?t needed for the city, but we were concerned about adapting to the water for a short stay. So we used bottled water for drinking and brushing our teeth, a precaution that may seem excessive, but we all stayed healthy. Taking the advice of a friend, we booked a hotel a 20minute walk from most of Istanbul?s major tourist sites. This not only got us some morning exercise, strolling over the Karakoy Bridge, but took us past a colorful assortment of fishermen, vendors and shoe shiners. From a teenager and preteen?s view, Istanbul street life is fascinating since almost everything can be bought outdoors. They were at a good age to spend time wandering the labyrinth of the Spice Bazaar, where shops display mounds of pungent herbs in sacks. Doing this with younger children would be harder simply because the streets are so packed with people。 it would be easy to get lost. [13D] [15D]For our two, whose buying experience consisted of department stores and shopping mall boutiques, it was amazing to discover that you could bargain over price and perhaps end up with two of something for the price of one. They also learned to figure out the relative value of the Turkish lira, not a small matter with its many zeros. Being exposed to Islam was an important part of our trip. Visiting the mosques, especially the enormous Blue Mosque, was our first glimpse into how this major religion is practiced. Our children?s curiosity already had been piqued by the five daily calls to prayer over loudspeakers in every corner of the city, and the scarves covering the heads of many women. Navigating meals can be troublesome with children, but a kebab, bought on the street or in restaurants, was unfailingly popular. Since we had decided this trip was not for gourmets, kebabs spared us the agony of trying to find a restaurant each day that would suit the adults? desire to try something new amid children?s insistence that the food be served immediately. Gradually, we branched out to try some other Turkish specialties. 學英語 找長喜 11 Although our son had studied Islam briefly, it is impossible to be prepared for every awkward question that might e up, such as during our visits to the Topkapi Sarayi, the Ottoman Sultans? palace. [14B]No guides were available so it was doityourself, using our guidebook, which cheated us of a lot of interesting history and anecdotes that a professional guide could provide. Next time, we resolved to make such arrangements in advance. On this trip, we wandered through the magnificent plex, with its imperial treasures, its courtyards and its harem. The last required a bit of explanation that we would have happily left to a learned third party. 11. The couple chose Istanbul as their holiday destination mainly because [A] the city is not too far away from where they lived.(符合文章事實,但不是做出選擇的主要原因) [B] the city is not on the list of the . State Department.(對手段首句的錯誤理解) [C] the city is between the familiar and the exotic. 根據(jù)原文第一段 首句 “ … to a place that was unlike anything… in Europe and the United States.”和第 二段 首句 “ … as a prelude to more exotic ones” , 可以確定作者一家去 Istanbul 的目的是see a city between the familiar and the exotic。 [D] the city is more familiar than exotic.( more familiar than exotic 無從得知) 12. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? [A] The family found the city was exactly what they had expected. 由 第四段 首句中的 “我們本應更加謹慎地檢查一下 美國政府列出的那些麻煩地點”可知,作者起初也認為伊斯坦布爾會有些危險;接著該段尾句談到 “ but we found the tourist areas quite safe… ” ,由此可見 Istanbul 并不像他們想象的那么危險。 [B] Their friends were opposed to their holiday plan.(由第三段首句可以看出) [C] They could have been more cautious about bringing kids along.(與第四段首句 although 后的內(nèi)容相符) [D] They were a bit cautious about the quality of water in the city.(是對整個第五段的概括) 13. We learn from the couple?s shopping experience back home tha
