111马鞍山市2014高考英语阅读理解、动词短语精讲讲练（18）及答案 Late that afternoon I took the train back to Sydney. There I found another surprise waiting for me. My room at the hotel had been given to somebody else and they had no room for me. Harkin had known my travel plans and had planned everything. How could he have booked the room only for three days? There was nothing to be done but to find another hotel. The waiters were happy to find me a new hotel, and when I said that I was happy to stay at the airport, thinking it might be cheaper than staying in the city, they suggested the Holiday Inn at the airport. There was one small matter: the room rate was DS| 300 per night. The best hotel in Katoomba had wanted only DS| 145. I asked if there was anything cheaper they might suggest but they warned that most hotels would already be full by this time.The hotel was far from the train station, so I had to take a taxi, as DS| 25. On the way to the Holiday Inn, we passed a hotel just two blocks from the Holiday Inn that advertised a room rate of DS| 104. At the desk I asked if their room rate could go down a lot. “No, this is a 4star hotel，” the waiter told me. “In that case，” I replied, “Ill just walk the two blocks to the cheap hotel.” But she warned me that they were probably full and that if I didnt take the room, it might not be available when I came back. Finally, I decided to take the room.The room itself was big, but the air conditioning couldnt keep up with the Australian heat. I couldnt get to sleep until about 1：00 am.语篇解读：文章讲述了作者在澳洲因预订房间的期限已到而不得不艰难地再找旅店的经历。9Why did the writer have to look for another hotel?AHe didnt book early.

The idea started in the mind of a man, Jerry Miller in Ohio. He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer. Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers.As he tells it, the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date. But_someone_would_invite_her_to_meet_for_coffee_at_nine_oclock_at_night,_when_she_had_to_start_her_day_at_five_the_next_morning.So, in 2005, Jerry Miller launched his website. “You dont have to be a farmer to be on FarmersOnly.com， but you do have to have the good oldfashioned traditional values of Americas heartland.”You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site. Some services are free, but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year. As of last week the site listed more than 58,000 members. Many of them are farmers in the United States. Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture. Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website.Some farmers have also found love through a group, Singles in Agriculture, which was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1986. It organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance, but is not a dating service. The purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship. Its website, “singlesinag. org”， says there are more than 1,000 members across the nation and as far away as France.语篇解读：乡村生活的作息规律让农民的社交生活受到了限制，受此启发，专门为农民创办的网络约会与交友的网站应运而生。5Jerry Miller started “FarmersOnly.com” in order to _.Ahelp farmers Bsupport traditionsCunderstand farmers Drepresent farmers解析：推理判断题。Jerry Miller是在听完一位女性农民的苦衷后才创办了这个网站，以便为农民网上约会和交友提供方便，由此可推断他创办网站的目的是帮助农民。答案：A6What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicate?AShe dislikes city lifestyle.BShe prefers late night coffee.CCountry life isnt well understood.DIts tiring to get up early.解析：细节理解题。有人邀请她在晚上九点喝咖啡，可是她必须在第二天早上五点起床，由此可推断乡村生活没有被很好地理解。答案：C7Which of the following is TRUE of “singlesinag.org”？AIts services are free.BIt provides dating services.COnly farmers can become its members.DFarmers in France cant benefit from it.解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句中的“a nonprofit organization”可知这是一个非营利性机构，它创办的网站提供的是免费服务。答案：A8The author of the text intends to _.Aadvertise for the two websitesBintroduce two websitesCencourage social activitiesDurge readers to help farmers解析：作者意图题。作者只是客观地介绍了Jerry Miller创办的网站，顺便提及了另外一个网站，并没有发表自己的观点，所以作者意在对两个网站进行介绍。答案：B9It can be inferred from the text that _.Aall farmers desire marriageBfarmers are easy to meet new peopleCmore farmers get divorced in the USADthe Internet helps improve farmers social life解析：推理判断题。由文中介绍的这两个关于农民社交的网站可推知因特网有助于提高农民的社交生活。答案：D。常见动词词组讲解与自我检测【2】八、care（1） I dont care what they say.
