分析 本文是一篇說明文.主要介紹了如何成為國際青年旅舍聯(lián)盟的會員及會員所能享受的優(yōu)惠制度.
解答 56--58 DDB
56.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)Membership Savings Program下的第一段"…network of…a 10 percent saving on the cost…"可知,在一些國際青年旅舍,會員可以享受9折優(yōu)惠,而不是在全世界都可以享受到,也不是可以免費(fèi)住,故A、B、C三項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤.根據(jù)Membership Savings Program下的第三段第一句中的"Apart from cheaper accommodation in many of our 4,000 hostels"可知,全世界有4 000家國際青年旅舍,你可以在許多家連鎖店中享受低價(jià)優(yōu)惠.故答案選D.
57.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)小標(biāo)題How to become a member下的第一段"Purchase a…membership selling outlet (零售店) before you start your journey."可知,想成為會員可以在旅游前到國際青年旅舍聯(lián)盟辦公室或會員卡零售店交錢辦理會員卡.故答案選D.
58.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)小標(biāo)題Membership Savings Program下面第三段最后一句可知,擁有此會員卡可以讓你在進(jìn)入某些景點(diǎn)和博物館時(shí)享受低價(jià),吃飯乘車時(shí)打折,還有更多優(yōu)惠.因此A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤,B項(xiàng)正確.C項(xiàng)文中沒有提及;根據(jù)該部分最后一段和文章倒數(shù)第二段可知,D項(xiàng)屬于信息雜糅.故答案選B.
點(diǎn)評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系,對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論,對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn).
