Entertainment 娛樂
Some of our hotels arrange additional entertainment which could include music, dancing, film shows, etc. The nature and frequency of the entertainment presented is at the discretion of the hotel and therefore not guaranteed and could be withdrawn if there is a lack of demand or insufficient numbers in the hotel. 譯文:我們有一些酒店還安排額外的娛樂活動,包括音樂、舞蹈、電影欣賞等。其上演種類及頻率由各酒店自行安排,故無法精確保證,若需求不高或人數(shù)不足,有可能取消。
點評:
×Which 引導(dǎo)的定語不多說了,一目了然
×Etc. 就是如此等等,會讀嗎?偶有很多學(xué)生就不會
×Nature 和 frequency 二詞為主語十分經(jīng)典,要牢記,nature在此不是自然,而是屬性或種類,英語一詞多義是偶們學(xué)習(xí)的最大阻礙,也是英語最迷人的地方,否則偶哪會悟出‘乾坤大挪移’法則?
×Presented 作者反復(fù)使用此法,不消多說了,嘻嘻,還沒看出道道的,證明你語感不行,平時領(lǐng)悟得太少,學(xué)習(xí)不夠用功哦。別抱怨說偶有天天在讀啊,背啊什么的,您缺乏的正是‘用心’二字,即,學(xué)習(xí)過程中不求甚解!怎么辦?又是汗ing
×At the discretion of 會用此詞組的,除了高手,還是高手啊!discretion,即判斷力,短語意思是根據(jù)某人的決定。再問一句,‘高手’英語怎么說泥?high-hand? 非也,Top Player是也
×And therefore,因果關(guān)聯(lián),承上啟下,前面也提到了
×Not guaranteed and could be withdrawn 用法極其精練,和中文語感幾乎雷同,所以偶翻譯時很順暢,前者用兵刃五,后者could使出虛擬被動(兵刃二之高級用法)
? If 引導(dǎo)條件讓步從句,配合there be句型,就是不用人稱做主語!
×A lack of 缺乏之意,你會用嗎?
×Demand 和 insufficient 都是經(jīng)典詞匯,必備!再考考你,insufficient的反義詞和名詞各是什么?如果知道的話,6分有望矣
Questions (Choose the appropriate letters A-D)
開始解題,順便問你,appropriate 和其副詞會用嗎?不會吧!這都不放過?!放過了它,考試不會放過偶!按照答題節(jié)奏,每一道題回答不可超過2分鐘。
1. If you want to sit at the front of the coach______________.
A) ask when you get on the coach.
B) arrive early on the departure date.
C) book your seat well in advance.
D) avoid traveling at peak times.
選C,很清晰,考的是第二段,座位安排,問的是如果你想坐前排,就是指Requests for particular seats,而且快速掃描原文后發(fā)現(xiàn)booking這個詞文中出現(xiàn)2次,預(yù)訂,只有C有book,,這是最簡單的題了,就算是看不懂也能答,白給分。『筰ng。In advance 知道啥意思?peak time?自己動手查字典吧,該動動手了
2. Your air ticket____________.
A) will be sent to your departure point.
B) must be collected before leaving.
C) will be enclosed with other documents.
D) may be held by your coach driver.
選D,問機票如何如何,在第三段旅游文件,coach dirver 是解題關(guān)鍵詞,也是送分題,詞匯量大的考生根據(jù)retain和held這組近義詞來判斷。Enclose要會用。May 情態(tài)詞也是幫助判斷之一,原文是may have to be,語氣都不太肯定。
3. If you need a special diet you should_______________.
A) inform the hotel when you arrive.
B) pay extra with the booking.
C) tell the coach company.
D) book tourist class.
選C,很顯然講食譜滴,考tell和inform的近義關(guān)系,文中的us不就是the coach company嗎?別忘了是誰編寫這個導(dǎo)游手冊滴。從這個賓語入手,也根本不會去選A那個陷阱the hotel,于是,xiao(學(xué))一句趙本山‘師傅,拿下!’
4. It may be necessary to pay extra for ______________.
A) a bathroom.
B) boat tickets.
C) additional luggage.
D) entertainment.
選A, 到目前為止,上面三道題基本按照文章標(biāo)題順序出,于是推理就到了膳宿部分了。只有A是指住的房間,與之有關(guān)。不敢如此大膽猜測?需要線索?room就是你要找的關(guān)鍵詞,其他選項里的信息都是迷惑你滴。
5. Entertainment is available ____________.
A) at all hotels.
B) if there is the demand.
C) upon request.
D) for an additional cost.
選B,很多人都栽到這道上面,何解?因為有了if條件句,暈?答案是原句could be withdrawn if there is a lack of demand的正面描述,即如果沒有需求,就被取消,那么有了需求,就提供唄!
6. With every booking Classic Tours guarantee you will be able to _______________.
A) request high quality meals.
B) take hand luggage on the coach.
C) use your own personal bathroom.
D) see a film if you want to.
選B,GZ使了心眼,把順序顛倒了一下,考你第一部分行李,問題中g(shù)uarantee后面引出賓語從句,省略關(guān)系代詞that。Hand luggage和small holdall 是近義滴。
備注:‘雅思考試弄得我很被動’
bqiana譯為My passive resignation is totally tied up with IELTS exam.
(三)寫作
Write a brief letter to a friend who is coming to visit you next month.
1. Tell him/her what the weather will be like.
2. Tell him/her what you could do together while you are in Beijing.
3. Tell him/her if they need to bring anything with them. ×?xí)攀荊類題,其實很多A類烤鴨寫信未必寫的好,而書信是最常用的溝通工具。
×首先要仔細(xì)審題!有朋自遠(yuǎn)方來,不亦樂乎?信里要完成3個任務(wù),即高知本地天氣,陪同計劃和旅游所需物品建議。下面,提筆就來,采用齊頭式流行格式
2005-3-16(時間寫這里)
Dear Friend:
I am so excited that you are coming to Beijing next month spending Christmas with me. What a wonderful plan! 開門見山,歡迎光臨,賓語從句配合分詞,現(xiàn)炒現(xiàn)賣,學(xué)以致用。
Heavy snow just covered the city these days, cold but dry. Temperature, however, is expected to be restored above zero degree next week. Who knows what is going to happen tomorrow? Unpredictable, thus, make sure you wear something warm enough during your stay, say, ski coat, sweater and boots etc., I suppose. 談天氣的同時,也提出有關(guān)建議,把任務(wù)1和3組合起來回答,大量使用連接詞。
For most of time, I will be your local guide if school is not that busy as you come. Places like the Great Wall,F(xiàn)orbidden City and Summer Palace will definitely not missed, with which I am quite familiar in terms of history and legendary. Without any question, special cuisine is another highlight for tourists, things like Beking Duck and Lamp Hotpot. 枚舉旅游勝地和當(dāng)?shù)仫嬍,是不二選擇,注意專有詞匯的拼寫,如長城,故宮和頤和園,定冠詞the使用一個就可以了。被動語態(tài)的采用是必不可少滴!
Please be well-prepared in necessities like medicine, DC or DVC, most importantly, your passport with visa and air tickets. Just kidding :) Well, please do not hesitate to contact me for any needs. Looking forward to your arrival! Best regard to your family! 祈使句配合1到2個例子,簡明扼要。
