詞數(shù)：387完成時(shí)間：7分鐘難度：**
One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know, you would be submerged (淹沒) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.
The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive. We look forward to going there again! Of course, we spent lots of time arranging the trip, but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa, but everything went quite smoothly in the end.
The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. In the Italian consulate(領(lǐng)事館), one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a hotel about thirty km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.
Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome. Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest, was a rare girl for the fresh air and absolute silence, beautiful views, hospitable (好客的) hosts, comfortable living conditions delighted us to no end. Besides this, we were very lucky that our mistress was Russian. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.
Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It’s not difficult! The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times. So, if you're also planning a "single" trip, don't forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue.
41. Why does the author want to go to Italy again?
A. He had a great time there.
B. Italy has a lot of attractions.
C. His friend invited him there.
D. He didn't stay in Italy long enough.

A. Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before the traveling
B. Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate.
C. Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome.
D. Solving the ticket problem far in advance.
43. In the fourth paragraph the author mainly explains
A. the reason why he chose to live in the center of Rome
B. the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice
C. what transport they chose to travel in their Italian trip
D. the reason why the mistress gave them some advice
44. Which of the following questions has NOT been answered in the passage?

[答案]
本是一篇游記，講述了作者和他的朋友自己策劃的意大利之行。介紹了旅游前的準(zhǔn)備工作，如自己取得簽證，還有意大利的住宿條，突出了自己策劃意大利之游的優(yōu)點(diǎn)以及感受。
41．A。原因判斷題。根據(jù)第二段 “The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive. We look forward to going there again!”結(jié)合第四段的內(nèi)容以及最后一段中的“The only thing I’ll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves.”可知，意大利之行他們玩得很盡興，給他們留下了深刻的印象，所以想再去意大利，因此選A。
42．B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的第一句“The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation.”可知，最難的事情是在沒有邀請(qǐng)函的情況下向意大利大使館申請(qǐng)簽證，因此選擇B。A、C、D雖然中都涉及到了，但是都不符合題干。
43．B。段落大意題。根據(jù)第四段對(duì)旅館周圍環(huán)境、交通情況以及該旅館的好處的介紹，可知作者在第四段主要講對(duì)旅館滿意的原因。
44．A。主旨大意題。第一段第二句講述了他們不愿意隨旅行社出游的原因，B項(xiàng)提到了；第二、三兩段講述作者怎么去準(zhǔn)備他的出行的，所以Ｃ項(xiàng)提到了；根據(jù)最后一段的“We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted…”可知Ｄ項(xiàng)提到了�？v觀全，作者并沒有提到他為什么去意大利旅游的原因。
45．C。推理判斷題。根據(jù)的主要內(nèi)容，尤其是第一段說不想在旅游團(tuán)的擁擠的人群中，也不想錯(cuò)過更多親近意大利的機(jī)會(huì)，以及最后一段的“Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself.”可以推斷出應(yīng)該選擇C。其余選項(xiàng)沒有依據(jù)。

[答案]
Greatest Love is Unselfish
During Wenchuan Earthquake in Sichuan Province, a rescue team found a teacher, dead for hours, and four school kids, safe with the protection of the teacher. And the teacher's greatest love gave everyone a great shock.
A very ordinary teacher would rather give his life to save and protect his students, for he knew that he was a teacher and should protect his students, As we know, when the disaster broke out, all the teachers in this earthquake area made their efforts to help and save their students, and this noble act shows that greatest love is unselfish. Facing natural disasters, sometimes we human beings may feel too weak, but just at this very moment, we will try everything to help others, even devote our lives to doing that.
After reading the news story, I was moved to tears. Greatest love is unselfish. The teacher's action illustrates our kind teachers' greatest love to their students.
