Inside the Rain Room
The Rain Room has arrived and local art lovers are taking notice. Is it worth the wait? Yes, I assure you it is. Once inside, visitors find a long, dark room with a high ceiling. A single bright light shines through heavy rain falling around visitors. The mist. The damp air. The noise. It feels like a mighty storm is pouring down. But the storm is inside. And visitors aren't getting wet. Instead, visitors wander in awe, admiring the rain and the artists who created it.
The Rain Room was created to highlight the connection between humans, nature and technology. With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that. Light and sound produce an experience that feels both natural and foreign. The exhibit is moving on to Atlanta next month. I urge you to visit before then. It's time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!

For the convenience of all guests, visits are limited to 10 minutes.

【答案】
(1)A
(2)A
(3)D
【解析】本文介紹了Rain Room,目的是吸引參觀者。
(1)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二自然段的最后一句話It's time to experience the Rain Room for yourself!以及表格可知,作者通過介紹Rain Room是來吸引參觀者。故選A。
(2)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段第二句話With a tracking system that senses movement and stops the rain wherever visitors move, it does just that.可以知道,這個跟蹤系統(tǒng)可以感知參觀者的移動,并且在參觀者停留的地方停住雨,也就是讓參觀者避免淋雨。故選A。
(3)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)表格第一點可知,不能帶雨衣,所以A錯誤;根據(jù)表格第二點可知,不能穿暗色衣服,所以B錯誤;根據(jù)表格第三點可知,拍照是允許的,所以C錯誤;根據(jù)表格第五點可知,參觀時間不超過10分鐘,所以D對了。

If you don't like walking, there are other tours you can choose from including a river cruise and cycling. You can also combine your tour with fishing, sailing or sunbathing on the beach.
One of the most incredible places to walk is along the Tarkine coast which is located in the north-west of Tasmania. It's such a wild and remote area that you can easily complete your walk without seeing anyone apart from the members of your group and your two guides. The area contains the largest temperate rainforest in Australia which is home to more than 50 endangered species. It is also home to many Aboriginal Heritage Sites. Your guides will provide you with plenty of information about the area as you complete that part of your tour.

How to Manage Your Phone's Data Use
Smart phones give you access to a wealth of information and media, but most networks put a limit on the amount of data you can use each month. A typical phone contract includes a data allowance of between 500MB and 10GB per month. You see, your usage can mount up surprisingly quickly – watching a film on the phone is about 700MB in SD, an hour of streaming TV is around 500MB or 60-140MB for the same of radio, chatting on Skype for an hour is around 40MB.
If possible, wait until you can connect to free Wi-Fi before using your phone's data features.
When you are on the road, use your car's GPS, not your phone, to find the way. But maps are preloaded in a GPS, making this free to use.
Many of these are funded by ads that pop up on your screen. Every ad has to download through your network, using up your data allowance.
If you regularly need to use a lot of data on your phone, consider a data-compressing(壓縮) app, such as Onavo(www.onavo.com). So you use less of your monthly allowance. You may have to subscribe to such compression services, so you'll need to weigh up whether it's worth the cost.

A. The more data, the higher the monthly cost.
B. Remember to use free Wi-Fi anywhere you go.
C. Try these tips to better manage your data use.
D. It compresses data before it is fed to your phone.
E. But you might end up paying more than expected.
F. The phone has to download map data as you move.
G. Be careful of how many “free” games you play on the phone.

Early one morning, I wanted to swim in the river, which some women villagers were washing clothes. I find a good place for swimming and I was just about to jump into the river while there came a cry, “Help! Help!” I looked the direction of the cry and I found that a little boy had been fallen into the river. I rushed over without delay, jumped into the water and swam quick towards the boy.
