答案

小题1:B
小题2:D
小题3:D
小题4:A
小题5:C
解析

试题分析:文章是关于参观狄更斯博物馆的展品及其开放时间、门票、使用、租用、交通等有关信息。
小题1:B推理(文章出处)题。根据文章倒数第三段最后一句“Click here to visit all the rooms in the Museum online”和文章倒数第一段“For a map, please click here”中的“click(点击), online(在线的)”可推断出此文章来自网址,故B正确。
小题2:D 细节题。由题干关键词“save”定位把答案定位于文章“Admission Charges”部分,由“ Adults: £5.00;…Children: £3.00; Families:£14.00( 2 adults & up to five children)”可知“这一家各自去参观,要花费:2*5+5*3=25英镑;买家庭票只要14英镑”,所以买家庭票可节约11英镑,故D正确。
小题3:D细节题。故D正确。由题干关键词“the Museum, find”定位把答案定位于文章第一段,该段第三句明确指出“…visitors can see paintings, rare editions, manuscripts,…”,即“…游客可以看绘画,珍本,手稿…”,由此可知,答案A、B、C都有,D项在文中未讲到,故选D。
小题4:A细节题。故A正确。做此类正误判断细节题的技巧是把选项与原文一一比较。A“这博物馆与大英博物馆不远”在文章最后一段“The British Museum and the Foundling Museum are within walking distance”提到,A项是此句原文的同义转述,故为正确答案。B“17:00后,在任何情况下都不能参观博物馆”与文章“Special opening times can be arranged for groups, who may wish to book a private view”不符,不正确;C“视力差的游客不能享受参观博物馆”与文章“…an audio tour for visitors with impaired (受损的) vision.Our Handling Sessions are also suitable for the visually impaired”相矛盾,故不正确;D“任何人不能雇用博物馆进行其他活动”与文章倒数第二段“The Museum can be hired for private functions, performances soirees(社交晚会)  and many other social occasions”相矛盾,故不正确。
小题5:C主旨大意(写作目的)题。本文的主旨大意是要根据各段的主题句概括而出。首段讲了“查尔斯狄更斯博物馆里的展品”,接着依次讲了“狄更斯博物馆开放时间,门票,使用,租用,交通”,由此可知本文围绕“狄更斯博物馆有关信息”展开,故C正确。

Why buy a new car when you can improve the one you have with the latest technology? Here are two new methods that will not only make life behind wheel more comfortable but may also end up saving you money.
WI-FI on Wheels
It’s not enough that children complain about having nothing to watch on television. These days, they even complain about having nothing to watch in the car. Fortunately, for every unsatisfied youth, there is a new technological solution: Wi-Fi Internet access for the back seat of your vehicle.
In the United States, Chrysler is the first to offer such a system, which turns any Chrysler or Dodge into a Wi-Fi hotspot. Called UConnect, the $499 dealer-installed option is a high-speed cell-like Internet connection with a wireless router that sits in your car’s trunk. Monthly service costs $29 for Internet access, which is available to any device that has Wi-Fi and is within 100 feet of your car.
With UConnect, passengers can check emails messages on a laptop, send instant messages to friends or watch YouTube videos online. It allows passengers to search for movie listings on a smart phone or connect a Sony PSP video game player to the Web. It also offers the ability to freely upload photos from a Wi-Fi-equipped digital camera to an online sharing service like Flickr.
For critics who claim that putting Wi-Fi Internet access in a car feeds the danger of driver distraction, parents may well disagree: What’s more distracting, the temptation to check email or a lot of children talking to you from the back seat?
Watch Your Back
Blind spots behind cars and SUV’s make backing up dangerous as well as potentially deadly for children. Nationally, the group Kids and Cars estimates that two children a week are killed by cars backing up. The Transportation Department is establishing visibility standards for future vehicles, but there’s no need to wait.
A back-view back system can be an expensive option in a new car. In the 2008 Subaru Tribeca, for example, the back-view camera option is available only in connection with the inner navigation system, at a price of $2,400. And professionally equipped systems can cost $400 or more. However, there are now inexpensive back-view packages you can help yourself, such as the $130 Audiovox ACA250 Wireless Vehicle Rear Observation System. It includes a camera that increases on a back license-plate holder and grasps onto a vehicle’s backup light. It can send a back-view image to a small L.C.D. Monitor that can be carried into electronic equipment and increased on the dashboard(仪表板).
Audiovox claims the camera housing is not afraid of dust. In some areas where radio waves are plentiful, the image can be affected by occasional interference, but the picture, with its wide 110-degree camera point, is good enough to see things or children behind you.
 
小题1:What is the best title of the passage?
A.DIY methods for your car.
B.How to save money in your life?
C.The way of putting a back-view system.
D.The importance of putting internet access in your car.
小题2:What’s the parents’ attitude to the safety concern of car Internet access?
A.They agree with the critics’ opinion.
B.They consider it a great danger for driving.
C.They think that talking with children is more dangerous.
D.They believe it unnecessary to have car Internet access.
小题3:What’s the potential danger for children?
A.Electronic equipment. B.Backing-up car.
C.Earphones behind the wheel.D.Highway engine failure.
小题4:How can the back-view package see the back of the car?
A.With a cell phone.
B.With an inner navigation system.
C.With a dashboard.
D.With a camera onto the side of backup light.
