【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章发布了四则兼职工作的招聘启事，广告分别为：Babysitter needed；Newspaper round before school; holiday job; Munchies café part-time work。 【1题详解】

细节理解题。C广告里提到“We need French, Spanish or German speakers to work us…”可知C广告需要应聘者会说一门外语，故选C。 【2题详解】

判断推理题。题意为哪种工作适合在工作日繁忙的人，推理得到哪种工作时间为周六和周日。对比四则广告可知只有Working in a café的工作时间为周六早上八点到下午四点，适合题目中提到工作日繁忙的人，故选C。 【3题详解】

细节理解题。本题可以运用排除法得出。题意为这些工作招聘广告是主要是针对哪些人，A广告和B广告提到了“after school放学后”与“before school上学前”，故可知是针对青少年，而C广告提到了需要会说法语、西班牙语或者德语，所以只说英语是不符合要求的，故排除D选项；而第一二则广告提到了周内也要工作，故不适合有全职工作的人，故排除C。四则广告并没有提到要求是针对“父母”的，故排除A。综上最后选B。 B

In Europe, there is no escape for those who do not appreciate art and

architecture(建筑). It is a heaven for people who want to feel like they have been transported to famous historical time periods from America. For me, Europe was a complete contrast from America. London and France had a more royal feel than New York, and Rome felt more ancient. I wasn’t just on a different continent; it felt like I was in a different century.

My parents and I visited London, Paris and Rome this summer in celebration of the end of my high school experience. It was supposed to be a break from a life as busy as a bee in New York, the constant stress, the crowded subway rides, and the weary body that had accompanied me for the last four years. It was an opportunity to appreciate Europe the way I couldn’t do it just by reading history books.

My favorite parts of London were the Tower of London and the Churchill War Rooms. As a site of past executions(刑场), the Tower of London displayed punishing devices from the 16th and 17th century and told stories of various members of the royal family who had ever been imprisoned in the tower, some even imprisoned by their own family members when they were seen as a threat to the crown. Besides that, I also got to see the royal family’s crown jewels, amazingly beautiful.

The Churchchill War Rooms, though very different from the Tower of London, were also spellbinding from a historic perspective. I am not a

history fan, but I enjoy museums, and I took fancy in the Churchchill Museum inside the War Rooms that detailed the events of Churchchill’s life and World War II. Everything I saw in it built up his life from his childhood to his last years, creating a three-dimensional Churchchill in my mind who was a person just like myself. He longed for more, he made mistakes, he experienced loneliness and sadness. But he had also done some remarkable things like uniting Britain during World War II.

Our rewarding trip ended in Rome a couple of days later. 4. What does the underlined word “contrast” in Paragraph1 mean? A. Something different. B. Something artistic. C. Something similar. D. Something faraway.

5. Which of the following can best describe the writer’s life in New York? A. Relaxing and peaceful. B. Stressful and tiring. C. Joyful but busy. D. Boring but successful. 6. What can be learned from Para 3?

A. The Tower of London is a symbol of peace. B. The royal family members used to live in harmony. C. The Tower of London witnessed changes of royal families. D. Visitors could buy the crown jewels in Churchill War Rooms. 7. What really got the writer spellbound in the Churchill Museum?
