分析 本文介紹了美國和加拿大在處境方面的一些問題,雖然美國和加拿大對出境所攜帶的現(xiàn)金數(shù)量沒有限制,但是必須向兩國的過境服務(wù)處匯報(bào).同時(shí)文章介紹了一些出境購買東西時(shí)免稅和納稅的相關(guān)知識(shí).

解答 64.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)標(biāo)題"CANADIANS RETURNING TO CANADA"下的第三點(diǎn)"7 days or more:750CAN"可知,750 CAN是免稅的,所以當(dāng)他回國時(shí),需要付800CAN-750CAN=50CAN,故選D.
65.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)標(biāo)題"AMERICANS RETURNNING TO THEUS"下的第二行"48hoursormore:800 US duty-free personal exemption,next 1,000USat3%"可知,800 US 免稅,而除800以外的800到1000以內(nèi)需交3%的稅,所以需要付(1600US-800 US)×30%=$ 24 US,故選A.
66.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)標(biāo)題"LAND OR SEA TO THE US (INCLUDING FERRIES)"下的第一行"A valid passport or passport card,or a NEXUS card."可知這對夫婦需要兩個(gè)有效的護(hù)照.再由下文的NOTE中的"Ch ildren 15 years of age and younger require only a birth certificate or copy."可知15歲以下兒童只需要一個(gè)出生證明或復(fù)印件,故選C.

點(diǎn)評 本文是廣告布告類閱讀,主要考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題.做題時(shí),首先看題目要求我們理解什么細(xì)節(jié),找出關(guān)鍵詞,運(yùn)用尋讀的技巧迅速在文章里找出相應(yīng)的段落、句子或短語.認(rèn)真比較選項(xiàng)和文中細(xì)節(jié),在正確理解細(xì)節(jié)的前提下,確定最佳答案.

3.University accommodation(住所) office
Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房東).Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organizations.The advantage of using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have'a problem.The disadvantage is that they are 
Property papers:Loot and Renting
Loot is an important source (來源) of information about private housing for co-renters.The offers are from private landlords,agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters.They also have a website:www.loot.com.The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains.The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.Renting is another useful paper.The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies.Their website is at www.Renting.co.uk.
Accommodation agencies
The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies.The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations.A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation.The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.

Word of mouth
Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth.It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students.However,don't suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily,going to be better than that found through any other source.
Family
Faced with the very high rents charged in London,some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative.In some cases this might be a good choice.
Below is a housing guide for students going to London.

45.What is the advantage of using Loot?D

8.Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流).Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment.However,ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way---by studying movements of random floating garbage.A scientist with many years'experience,he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States.There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.
Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes-about 60,000 in total-fell into the ocean in a shipping accident.He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back.As expected,the company told him that they didn't.Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment.If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed,he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.
The Pacific Northwest is one of the world's best areas for beachcombing(海灘搜尋) because winds and currents join here,and as a result,there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area.Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed.In a year he collected reliable information on 1,600shoes.With this data,he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents,and publish the findings of their study.
As the result of his work,Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean.He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts,with 500subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand.They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.

41.The underlined phrase swap meets in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning toB.
A.fitting rooms
B.trading fairs
C.business talks
D.group meetings
42.Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find outC.
A.what caused the shipping accident
B.when and where the shoes went missing
C.whether it was all right to use their shoes
D.how much they lost in the shipping accident
43.How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?A
A.By collecting information from beachcombers
B.By studying the shoes found by beachcomber
C.By searching the web for ocean currents models
D.By researching ocean currents data in the library
44.Ebbesmeyer is most famous forD.
A.traveling widely the coastal cities of the world
B.making records for any lost objects on the sea
C.running a global currents research association
D.phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea
45.What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?C
A.To call people's attention to ocean pollution
B.To warn people or snipping safety in the ocean
C.To explain a unique way of studing ocean currents
D.To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.

17.She was dancing.My lame grandmother was dancing.I stood in the living room doorway,looking at her beautiful movements,absolutely shocked.She was the pet of the dancing world.And then she'd had her accident and it was all over.I had read that in an old newspaper article.
"So…Your leg?I mean,how did your leg heal (恢復(fù)健全)?"
"To tell you the truth-my legs have been well all my life,"she sighed.
"But I don't understand!"I said,"Your dancing career (事業(yè))…You pretended all these years?"
"Very much so,and for a very good reason."
She thought for a while and then continued."We were talking about engagement (訂婚) when your grandfather had to go to war.I was so afraid of losing him that the only way I could stay normal was to dance.I put all my energy and time into practicing and I became very good.Critics praised me,the public loved me,but all I could feel was the ache in my heart,not knowing whether the love of my life would ever return.Then one day a letter came.There were only three sentences:‘I have lost my leg.I am no longer a whole man and now give you back your freedom.It is best you forget about me."
"I made my decision there and then.I traveled away from the city.When I returned I had bought myself a stick.I told everyone I had been in a car crash and that my leg would never completely heal again.My dancing days were over.No one doubted the story-I had learned to limp (一瘸一拐地走) convincingly before I returned home.And I made sure the first person to hear of my accident was a reporter I knew well.Then I traveled to the hospital.They had pushed your grandfather outside in his wheelchair.I took a deep breath,leaned on my stick and limped to him."
"I showed him newspaper articles of my accident.‘There is a whole life waiting for us out there!But I am not going to carry you.You are going to walk yourself.'"
"I limped a few steps toward him and showed him what I'd taken out of my pocket.‘Now show me you are still a man.'I said.He bent to take his stick from the ground and struggled out of that wheelchair.He managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair again in his life."
"What did you show him?"I had to know.Grandma looked at me and smiled."Two engagement rings,of course.I had bought them the day after he left for the war and I was not going to waste them on any other man."

36.What does the underlined word"it"in the first paragraph refer to?D
A.Her accident.
B.Her pet.
C.Her leg.
D.Her dancing career.
