【題目】Booking a trip on an online travel site is convenient, but comes with its own set of problems.

◆They know who's going to spend more.

Last year, US travel research company Orbitz tracked people's online activities to test out whether Mac users spend more on travel than PC users. It turns out that on average, Mac users lay out US $20-30 more per night on hotels. As a result, online travel sites show these users more expensive travel options first. To avoid paying more, sort results by price.

◆Their software doesn't always link to the hotel's system.

A guaranteed reservation is almost impossible to come by anywhere — but the risk of your flight or hotel being overbooked increases with third-party providers. The middleman's software isn't immune(防護(hù)作用的) to system errors, so always call the hotel or airline to make sure your booking was processed.

◆Don't be fooled by packages: Often, they're low-end items grouped together.

Ever notice how travel sites recommend a hotel, a rental car, and tour package all in one click? These deals usually feature travel that no one wants, like flights with multiple layovers(中途停留). Check the fine print.

◆Once your trip is purchased, you're on your own.

An online travel agency can't provide assistance the same way an agent can if a flight is cancelled or a room is substandard. Basically, when you arrive at the airport or hotel, you're just another customer who booked at the lowest rate.

【1】What does the writer mainly intend to tell readers?

A. Steps of reserving a hotel on line

B. Tips of how to reserve flights on line

C. Problems about reserving a trip on line

D. Traps in reserving hotels and flights on line

【2】Why do people probably spend more on their online reservation for trips?

A. They are shown less expensive travel options first

B. Some of the travel expenses are earned by Mac users

C. They book at prices recommended first by travel sites.

D. Their flights or hotels are overbooked by tourist agencies

【3】What can we lean from the passage?

A. Booking online is better than booking in other ways

B. The third parties will provide good travel services on line

C. Few people book trips on line because of possible troubles

D. Travelers’ interests may not be guaranteed with booking on line.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

If you have ever been in a school play or even made believe you were a doctor, detective, or a space traveler, you know the enjoyment that acting brings. Almost all of us have the wish to play the part of someone or something else. 【1】

In the ancient world, acting was often associated with religious ceremonies and other special occasions. As far back as 2200 B.C, trained Chinese actors performed ceremonial dances in costume and makeup at harvest festivals. 【2】 To the dance was gradually added pantomime—the imitation of movements and gestures as well as the wearing of masks, the singing of chants, and finally the use of dialogue.

While acting was coming into its own in the ancient Chinese classical theatre, it was doing the same in the western world, in Greece. From about 500 B.C. on, acting became a highly specialized art in Greece. Greek actors, however, still wore masks, and their motions were largely fixed by custom. 【3】

Modern acting, on the contrary, gives the individual actor great opportunity to develop his or her personal talents for serious, comic, or musical drama. The names, faces, and styles of famous movie actors are known worldwide. 【4】 A special form of acting takes place in radio drama, which was highly popular before television. In radio drama the actors face an unique challenge. They are unseen by their audience. So they must rely on voice alone to make their characters real to the listeners.

【5】Only forty percent of Broadway actors are employed, most of them for only part of the year. Those who become stars need not only talent, but determination. They must not be easily discouraged. Otherwise, they might give up before the opportunity for stardom presents itself.

A. The origins of acting are in the act of remembering.

B. Drama in Greece began with festivals honoring Dionysus.

C. It is believed that this was the first step in the development of acting.

D. Historical records indicate that this desire is as old as civilization itself.

E. Acting is not, as many people think, a quick, easy road to fame and riches.

F. Broadway and television provide other stages on which actors can display their talent.

G. Consequently, they had little opportunity to demonstrate their individual personalities.
