Various safety features are generally available in such online networks,like verification of names and addresses,personal references,and'vouching for'a particular member as a reliable host or guest.
As well as the financial advantages of couch surfing,participants also claim that the practice gives them a more unique,authentic travel experience,allowing them to experience culture and cuisine through the locals,rather than from the confines of sanitized tourist accommodation.We open our minds and lives and welcome the knowledge that becomes available through cultural exchange."Said Casey Fenton,founder of Couch Surfing.Com."CouchSurfing wants to change not only the way we travel,but how we relate to the world."

解答 61-65DBAAC
61:D   細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由文章可知,參與者首先要加入一個專業(yè)網(wǎng)站,提供盡可能多的個人信息.然后通過郵件看對方的沙發(fā)是否舒適,之后就可以到對方家去留宿了.D選項正確.
62:B   細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第三段中的"Various safety features are generally available in such online networks,like verification of names and addresses,personal references,and'couching for'a particular member as a reliable host or guest",可知沒有提到護(hù)照的副本,故選B.
63:A   細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第二段中的"Participants …make others feel comfortable hosting them,or using them as a host"可知,參與者們可以招待別人,也可以被別人招待.故A選項正確.
64:A    寫作意圖題.文章介紹了"沙發(fā)漫游"這種新型的旅游方式.旅游者們通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)交換住宿,居住在別人家的沙發(fā)上,來實現(xiàn)自己旅游的愿望.故選A.

18.If you don't want people to know too much about you,then you had better keep your fridge contents secret,according to a British market research document released last week.
Researchers peered (凝視) into the fridges of 400people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners'lifestyles.They claim to be able to classify the nation's people by fridge contents.
They say those people can be separated into five categories:nutrition nerds (no social sense),food faddiest (whatever's in style),martyr mums,fast food fanatics and restaurant regulars.
Nutrition nerds care much about what they put into their bodies.Their fridges are stocked with fruit,vegetables and healthy meat.
People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy.The vast majority is single,but if they have a partner,that person will be similar.
A fridge full of vitamins-enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion.They tend not to eat the foods they buy.Known as the food faddiest,they just want to be seen as purchasing the latest important things.
A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the martyr mum.Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product,except what she herself would want.This fridge hints at difficulty balancing family and work life.
Fast food fanatics always buy mineral water or soda pop.The nearest they will get to fresh fruit is tomato sauce.Their fridges hint at someone who works hard and plays hard,also,someone who is not into long term planning.
Finally,a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling mineral water implies an owner who is single,lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life.The fridge is empty because this person regularly eats in restaurants.

36.What can we know from the first two paragraphs?C
A.Some researchers are fond of staring at other people's fridges.
B.People don't want others to know about their secrets.
C.The food you put in the fridge has something to do with your personality.
D.There are mainly five kinds of lifestyles among British people.
37.According to the passage,people who belong to food faddiestA.
A.don't care much about money when buying things
B.will try their best to stay healthy
C.often stay up late to finish their job
D.prefer to ask others about what to do next
38.Which of the following is true according to the passage?D
A."Nutrition nerds"are always organized and successful in their jobs.
B."Food faddists"like to stock their fridges with all kinds of vitamins.
C."Martyr mums"care themselves more than others.
D."Fast food fanatics"usually do not stock their fridges with fresh fruit.
39.What will those who often dine out put in the fridge?B
A.All kinds of food they like.
B.Only something to drink.
C.Fruit,vegetables and meat.
D.Food rich in vitamins.
40.What is this passage mainly about?B
A.What people store in their fridges.
B.Fridge contents and its owner's secret.
C.What we should store in our fridges.
