During a recent business trip there were no trains to the airport and many people were stranded（滞留）and had to buy new tickets for flights and also arrange hotels for the night. I was traveling alone and like everyone else I had to 　　　　 in very long queues.(队伍)

I had queued for about 30-40 minutes and was looking around 　 　　　　 　 I saw a lady with a small child in her arms near the back of the queue. I knew she had at least 　　　　 30-40 minutes to wait just to 　　　　 　 my position and maybe 10 more minutes from there as I was quite close to the 　 　　　　 of the queue. I could also see that she was quite 　　　　 　 and the child was heavy and asleep on her shoulder.

I 　 　　　　 until I caught her attention. Once I got her attention I 　 　　　　 her forward and asked the people who were 　 　　　　 me if they minded if I 　　　　 　 positions in the queue with this lady. So I let the lady into my position and went to the back of the queue myself.

At first she said 　 　　　　 　 as I know she was very surprised by this gesture, but when she got to the front of the queue and had 　　　　 　 her hotel she looked back and found me in the queue. Her 　 　　　　 　 of relief and gratitude made the rest of my 　 　　　　 　 very easy indeed as I felt very good for the little 　 　　　　 I had made.

What touched me too was that other people in the 　 　　　　　　　 close to me had seen what I did and 　 　　　　 it was a nice thing to do. I hope I inspired in them the idea to do 　 　　　　 　 things for others.

But I know I made that lady’s day just a tiny bit 　 　　　　 　 and allowed her to get her child to a bed sooner and that was 　　　　 　 enough for me.

Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.

AVOID BIG EVENTS　 Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost £118.15.

If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.

STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.

Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95.

LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.

GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.

Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day).

1.The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________.

A. help travelers pass time

B. attract lots of travelers to the UK

C. allow travelers to make flexible plans

D. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation

2.“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably ________.

A. a hotel away from the train station

B. the tube line to Covent Garden

C. an ideal holiday destination

D. the name of a travel agency

3.The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat __________.

A. lies on the ground floor

B. is located in central London

C. provides cooking facilities for tourists

D. costs over £100 on average per day in late September

4.The main purpose of the passage is __________.

A. to tell visitors how to book in advance

C. to show visitors the importance of self-help

D. to offer visitors some money-saving tips

高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

If you’ve ever visited London, it’s likely that you’ve heard the loud chimes（鸣响）of Big Ben, the 157-year-old clock bell of the UK’s Houses of Parliament（议会）.

But on Aug 21, the world’s most famous bell fell silent. This is because the Palace of Westminster’s Elizabeth Tower, which houses Big Ben, needs to be repaired. The workers who’ll carry out the repairs don’t want their ears to be damaged by the sounds of the huge bell, reported BBC News. Big Ben won’t ring again regularly until 2021.

There’s been quite an emotional response to the move. Several members of parliament gathered in front of the Houses of Parliament to hear the bell’s last regular chime for four years. A few even shed tears, as if they were attending a friend’s funeral.

But a number of politicians are angry about the lengthy silencing of Big Ben, calling it a symbol of Britain, according to ABC News. And some members of public agree with it. “It’s our heritage,” David Dummigan, from Cumbria in the north of England, told The New York Times. “People come from all over the world to look at it and listen to it. It’s part of British history.” This kind of emotional reaction could be linked to “fears about Britain losing its voice and place in the world, which is part of the threat that comes from Brexit”, according to CNN. “The reality of losing a place at the top table is being made obvious,” it wrote.

Worries aside, fans of Big Ben will still be able to hear its unique chimes during special occasions such as New Year’s Eve. But if we do miss hearing Big Ben on a regular basis, we could always set its sound as our message tone.

1.Why did Big Ben fall silent?

A.To get Big Ben repaired.

B.To create a quiet environment for residents.

C.To protect the workers’ ears.

D.To remove some politicians’ anger about it.

2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A.Big Ben needs to be repaired.

B.Big Ben is a symbol of Britain.

C.The UK is losing its voice in the world.

D.Big Ben should ring on special occasions.

3.Why did Britons react emotionally?

A.Fears about Big Ben falling silent forever.

B.Threat coming from the rise of other countries.

C.Worries about not being able to visit Big Ben anymore.

D.Worries about the UK losing its influence on the world.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A.Britons React Emotionally to Big Ben’s Silence.

B.Britons are Worried about the Fall of the UK.

C.Britain is Losing its Place at the Top Table.

D.Big Ben Falls Silent for Four Years.
