解析
试题分析：文章向面临高考的学生推荐了摘自纽约时报的三个旅游目的地，分别是平遥古城、伦敦和多瑙河。
小题1:根据“banning cars within its 10metertall Ming Dynasty walls”可知，10米高的明长城以内是禁止车辆入内的。故选C。
小题2:根据“But this year may be better than most：the 2012 Summer Olymipic Games...”可知，今年的不同之处是举行奥运会。故选A。
小题3:根据“passing by majestic scenery, great wine regions，castles and ruins”可知，沿多瑙河可以欣赏到美景、城堡和遗迹等。故选B。
小题4:majestic宏伟的，壮丽的；magnificent壮丽的；significant有意义的；sensitive敏感的；unattractive没有吸引力的。文章介绍了三个景点，值得去旅游的地方，不可能是不好的风景，再根据“to see all these treasures”可知，majestic是一个积极词汇。故选A。
小题5:文章介绍的是三个旅游景点，应该属于“旅游”这个栏目。A社会；B经济；C旅游；D娱乐。故选C。

University accommodation (住所)offices
Many university accommodation offices have their own list of registered landlords (房东). Others also provide information on accommodation agencies and other housing organization. The advantage of using your university accommodation office is that you can get some support if you have a problem. The disadvantage is that they are unluckily to have enough registered landlords to houses all their students.
Property papers: Loot and Renting
Loot is an important source (来源) of information about private housing for co-renters. The offers are from private landlords, agencies and individuals looking for other co-renters. They also have a website: www.loot.com. The advantage of using Loot is that there are some excellent bargains. The disadvantage is that there is no quality control over the offers.
Renting is another useful paper. The offers in this paper are mainly from accommodation agencies. Their website is at www. renting.co.uk.
Accommodation agencies
The majority of rented accommodation in London is probably advertised through accommodation agencies. The advantage of using accommodation agencies is that you will have access to a large number of accommodations. A good agent will listen to your requirements and can save you time in looking for the right accommodation. The disadvantage is that they will make a range of charges to potential renters.
Noticeboards
Around the universities you will find a number of noticeboards where offers of accommodation will be posted. These will either be from landlords or from students. Some universities will also have online noticeboards where students can advertise to other students. Advertisements from students can be an excellent way to find accommodation. However, advertisements from landlords can be problematic.
Word of mouth
Some of the best housing in London is never advertised but is passed on from one group of students to another by word of mouth. It might be that you can find out about good offers from final year students. However, don’t suppose that just because you have found out about housing from a friend it is necessarily going to be better than that found through any other source.
Family
Faced with the very high rents charged in London, some students and their parents will consider buying as an alternative. In some cases this might be a good choice.
小题1: What is the advantage of using Loot?
| A．It has more offers from accommodation agencies than Renting. |
| B．It gives you personal information about other co-renters. |
| C．Their website is designed mainly for students. |
| D．There are some good bargains. |
| A．it is better than that found through any other source |
| B．it helps you find some of the best housing never advertised |
| C．the landlords have little valuable information |
| D．the final year students always offer better information |
