【解题导语】本文是一篇应用文,介绍了在Bend旅游时可以选择的四个宾馆。
【难句分析】McMenamins hotels are famed for their conversions (改建的房屋),so it's no surprise to find this former Catholic schoolhouse,dating from 1936,is now an affordable hotel,restaurant,music venue and cinema.
分析:本句为so连接的并列句,在第二个分句中,it是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式短语to find this former Catholic schoolhouse...music venue and cinema;find后跟了一个省略了引导词that的宾语从句;dating from 1936是现在分词作后置定语。
译文:McMenamins宾馆以其改建的房屋而出名,所以,这个前身为1936年的天主教校舍,如今成了人们可负担得起的宾馆、餐馆、音乐会场和电影院,这是不足为奇的。
1.B 考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"...and a commitment to using natural products where possible and running on 100% renewable energy"可知,该宾馆尽可能地使用天然产品和可再生能源,因此它是环保的。故选B。D项极具干扰性,但是根据"The 59room,sevenstorey hotel became the tallest building in downtown Bend when opened in 2010"只能得出它在2010年开张时是Bend市中心的最高建筑,而不能得出该宾馆现在还是Bend市中心的最高建筑。
2.D 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"McMenamins hotels are famed for their conversions(改建的房屋),so it's no surprise to find this former Catholic schoolhouse,dating from 1936,is now an affordable hotel,restaurant,music venue and cinema"可知,该宾馆是由学校改建而成的,故选D。本题考生易误选C项。但根据第三段中的"The classrooms are now 19 guest rooms,each named after former teachers"可知,宾馆的客房是以之前的学校老师的名字命名的,但由此并不能得出该宾馆的客房是为了纪念之前的老师而修建的这一结论,故可排除C项。
3.A 考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"Bend may just be the perfect small US city deserving a visit.And the following will offer you an enjoyable experience of staying"和下文对各个宾馆的介绍可知,本文旨在为到Bend旅游的人提供可住宿宾馆建议,应属于旅游专栏。故选A。
二、单句语法填空
1.The hotel offers its guests a wide variety of __________(amuse).
答案:amusements 此处表述各种各样的 "娱乐活动",故需填入所给词的名词形式,且作此义讲时,多用复数。
2.Mary often does some ________(translate) work to earn extra money, which accounts for
