Passage 1
Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit. Whatever your budget is the choice — from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle — is all part of fun.
Hostels
Cheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don’t have to be young or single to use them. Britain’s independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse（临时住房）while others are remarkably comfortable — almost like bargain hotels.
Youth Hotels
Founded many years ago to “help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside”, the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain’s towns and countryside.
B&Bs
The B&Bs (bed and breakfasts) is a great British institution. In essence you get a room in somebody’s house, and small B&Bs house, and small B&Bs may only have one guest room, so you’ll really feel like part of the family. Larger B&Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome.
In country areas your B&Bs might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: and usually run from around ￡12 to ￡ 20 per person. City B&Bs charge about ￡25 to ￡ 30 per person, although they’re often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs.
Pubs & Inns
As well as selling drinks and meals, Britain’s pubs and inns sometimes offer B&Bs, particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of local community.
Rates range from around ￡15 to ￡ 25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms.

11. In this passage the author mainly _______.
A. tells us where to stay while visiting Britain
B. advises readers to pay a visit to Britain
C. introduces the wonderful public services in Britain
D. gives us some information about British life

12. _______ are mainly built for young visitors.
A. Pubs & Inns B. Youth Hotels C. Hostels D. B&Bs

13. If you travel alone and want to know better family life in Britain, you’d better stay in _______.
A. Pubs & Inns B. Youth Hotels C. Hostels D. B&Bs

14. If you are interested in traveling with your friends but only with limited means, where is the better place for you to stay?
A. Pubs & Inns B. Youth Hotels C. Hostels D. B&Bs

15. Which of the following is NOT true according to the last part of the passage?

Passage 2
What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that make him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answer he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of this mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.

16. What makes a scientist according to the passage?
A. The tools he uses. B. The way he uses his tools.
C. His way of learning. D. The various tools he uses.

17. “The scientist, however, goes one step further…”. The author says this to show _____
A. the importance of information
B. the importance of thinking
C. the difference between scientists and ordinary people
D. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs

18. A sound scientific theory should be one that _______.
A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other times
B. does not allow any changes even under different conditions
C. can be used for many purposes
D. leave no room for improvement

19. The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _______.
A. that measurements are keys to success in science
B. that accuracy of mathematics
C. that the investigations are important in science
D. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations

20. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The theory of relativity.
B. Exactness is the core of science.
C. Scientists are different from ordinary people.
D. Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.

Passage 3
A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man — the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.
This attitude toward manual（体力的）labor is now still seen many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously（豪华地）furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.

21. From paragraph 1, we know that in America _______.
A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man
B. people can always rise to the top through their own efforts
C. college professors win great respect from common workers

D. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors

22. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _______.
A. servants in American are hard to get
B. she takes pride in what she can do herself
C. she can hardly afford servants
D. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food

23. The expression “wait on table” in the second paragraph means “_______”.
A. work in a furniture shop B. keep accounts for a bar
C. wait to lay the table D. serve customers in a restaurant

24. The author’s attitude towards manual（体力的）labor is __
A. positive B. negative C. humorous D. critical

25. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?
A. A Respectable Self-made Family.
B. American Attitude toward Manual Labor.
C. Characteristics of American Culture.
D. The Development of Manual Labor.
