When you walk into the small Australian town of Coober Pedy, you may be surprised by what you can see. It’s just barren (荒芜的) land there!

So why even call it a town? There are more than 4,000 people of 48 nationalities. However, all of the people live underground!

Coober Pedy was established in 1915, following the discovery of opals (猫眼石). The town is sometimes called the “opal capital of the world,” because it is the largest opal mining area in the world.

Due to a desert climate (沙漠气候), people came to realize that while working under the ground was easy, living above it was not. The solution was to move underground, by changing old mines into homes and establishing the world’s first and most likely, only underground town.

As years have gone by, the homes have become bigger. There are now also some hotels for tourists. They come from all over the world just to see this unusual town. Coober Pedy is probably best known for its unique style (独特风格)of underground living.

While the structures (结构)may be located underground, they are in no way worse than those that lie above. Not only do their walls have the color of beautiful red, but also the structures have all the modern equipment like walk-in closets, modern kitchens and televisions. And the town also has gift shops selling opal jewelry, a couple of museums and even a church!

Besides, Coober Pedy is also a favourite among filmmakers. And it has appeared in a series of movies such as Pitch Black, Red Planet and Opal Dream

On a recent flight, Laura was talking happily with the woman in the next seat— until the conversation turnedtofares. The woman, who bought her ticket two months in advance, paid $109. Laura paid the   (80)   fare of $457. She decided that next time she would find out how to travel for less.

Here are some ways to travel for less:

Cheap airline tickets. To fly for less money, you can buy non-refundable(不能退票的) plane tickets two or three months before your trip. The cheapest way to fly is as a courier (信使).

  (81)   for delivering a package for a courier company, you get a plane ticket that costs as little as one-quarter of the regular fare – or even less if the company needs someone at the  (82)    minute. Recently, a courier flew round trip from Los Angeles to Tokyo for $100; a regular ticket cost around $1,800.

Train passes. If you’re going to do a lot of traveling by train, a train pass will   (83)   you money. Buying a single pass gives you unlimited travel for a period of time. Train passes can be especially   (84)   in India, which has the world’s largest railway system; in Japan, where trains are fast and convenient; and in Europe, where trains go to over 30,000 cities.

Hostels(招待所). Hostels used to provide cheap rooms for people under the age of 25. Nowadays, hostels don’t have any age requirements. They’re not only cheap ($8--$17 a night) but a great way to   (85)   people. Hostels are often in interesting places – a castle in Germany, alighthouse in California, a one-room schoolhouse in the wild area of Australia. And sometimes hostels even have large swimming pools. 

 

80.   A) less                  B) cheap                C) only                 D) full

81.   A) In return          B) In addition        C) At least             D) At present

82.   A) first                  B) second              C) last                  D) next

83.   A) save                 B) cost                  C) pay                   D) send

84.   A) expensive          B) useful               C) limited              D) useless

85.   A) welcome           B) teach                C) meet                D) help

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words在短文的空格内填入适当的词使其内容通顺每空格限填一词首字母已给:14

People used to know more or less how their children would live. Now things are changing so quickly that we don’t even know what our own lives will be like in a few years. What follows is not science fiction(小说). It’s how scientists see the f  (86)  .

You’re daydreaming behind the wheel of your car, but that’s OK. You have it on automatic driving, and with its high-tech computers and cameras, your car knows how to get you home safely.

You’re h  (87)  , so you head for the kitchen as soon as you get home. You ordered food by computer an hour ago, and you know that by now they’ve arrived. Your kitchen has a two-way fridge, which opens to the outside to a  (88)  the food. You’ve already paid for the food by having the money subtracted(扣除) from your bank account. N  (89)  uses cash (现金) anymore.

What’s for lunch? In the old days, you used to stop off to buy a hamburger or pizza. Now you use a new machine to find out which foods your body needs. You find out you need more vegetables and less f  (90)  . Your food-preparation machine makes you a salad.

After lunch, you go down the hall to your home office. Here you have everything you need for doing your work. Thanks to your information screen and your new computer, you almost

n  (91)   go into the office anymore.

The information screen shows an important m (92)   from a co-worker in France. You set the screen to translate French into English. As you wait, you think about what movies you should order tonight.

 

D. Answer the questions(根据短文内容回答下列问题:12分)

There once was a young man who went to India. In those times, we didn’t have airplanes or many other kinds of modern transportation as now. So the young man went to India on foot. He hadn’t been to India before. And when he got there, he saw a lot of fruit. In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is expensive, because they can’t grow much because of the water situation. He saw a big basket of very red and long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop.

So he went up and asked, “How much is it per kilo?”

And the shopkeeper said, “Two rupees.”

Two rupees (印度货币)in India is nothing; it’s like dirt. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it.

He ate some of it. Oh, my God! His eyes watered, his mouth watered; his eyes were burning, his head was burning; and his face became red. As he coughed, he jumped up and down, saying “Ah! Ah! Ah!”

But he still kept eating the fruit!

Some people looking at him shook their heads and said, “You’re crazy, man. Those are chilies(辣椒)! You can’t eat so many; they’re not good for you! People use them as a condiment (调味品), but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can’t just eat them like that; they’re not fruit!”

But the stupid young man said, “No, I can’t stop! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”

And you think that young man was stupid, right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things like that. We still continue just because we’ve put money, time, effort and love into it, just like the man who ate the chilies and felt so bad but couldn’t stop because he didn’t want to waste the money he had paid.

So even if you’ve lost something, let it go and move on. That’s better than continuing to lose. 

 

93.     How did the young man go to India?

94.     Why is fruit expensive in India?

95.     What did the fruit the man bought look like?

96.     When did his face become red?

97.   Some people thought the young man was crazy, didn’t they?

98.   What can you learn from this story?
