Four cinemas in the UK

The Kinema, Lincolnshire

It’s a wooden building on the outside and a two-screen cinema on the inside, all nesting among pine trees in a tiny village. The Kinema showed its first film in 1922 and the first six rows were deckchairs . Today, it’s more richly decorated.

“People come here because it’s a fantastic experience, ” says manager Philip Jones. “Many rooms in the Kinema are simple and not attractive, but we try to remain everything that makes it special. ”

The Cube, Bristol

It’s not really a cinema. It is a not-for-profit cooperative run by volunteers, which has been operating for the last 15 years.

They are “unique for what we do, which is to operate seven nights a week and with no funding. ” They make many things themselves, such as cola and yogurt.

The Broadway, Nottingham

A cinema has been here since the 1960s, when local fashion designer Paul Smith would come to see arty foreign films, which heavily influenced his career choice. Later, he designed the stripy(条纹的) sofas.

The Broadway was previously used as a church, but locals love it for its independent, art house, and DIY spirit. The Broadway also has a right-on restaurant, with locally sourced vegetables and salads, and even serves its own beer.

The Rex, Hertfordshire

It opened to the public in 1938 and has been named the most beautiful cinema in the UK. There’s a varied programme with different films every night. Hot dogs and popcorn are banned. And a real person answers the phone when you call.

People speak very highly of the Rex. So do go, if only once, to see just how a cinema should be run.

【文章大意】本文描述了英国4个不同的电影院及每个电影院的成立时间、位置及特别之处等。

It is a not-for-profit cooperative run by volunteers, which has been operating for the last 15 years. ”可知, The Cube在15年前才开始运营。根据第五段第一句“A cinema has been here since the 1960s”可知, The Broadway建于20世纪60年代。根据第七段第一句“It opened to the public in 1938 and has been named the most beautiful cinema in the UK. ”可知, The Rex在1938年开始对外开放。所以有最长历史的应该是The Kinema。

Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and,  at its best,  it makes little environmental influence. But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness,  it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively and leave no mark.

Wild camping is not permitted in many places,  particularly in crowded lowland Britain. Wherever you are,  find out about organizations that manage wild spaces,  and contact them to find out their policy(政策) on camping and shelter building. For example,  it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland,  but in England you must ask for the landowner’s permission,  except in national parks.

Camping is about having relaxation,  sleeping outdoors,  experiencing bad weather,  and making things without modern conveniences. A busy,  fully equipped campsite seems to go against this,  so seek out smaller,  more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches. Better still,  find a campsite with no road access:  walking in makes a real adventure.

Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guarantee(保证) a good night’s sleep. Choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment. Try to use an area where people have obviously camped before rather than creating a new spot. When camping in woodland,  avoid standing by a dead tree,  which may fall on a windy night. Avoid animal runs and caves,  and possible homes of biting insect. Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. If you make a fire,  do so downwind of your shelter. Always consider what influence you might have on the natural world. Avoid damaging plants. A good campsite is found,  not made-changing it should be unnecessary.

【文章大意】 本文主要给读者介绍了野外露营时的注意事项,  告诉读者该做什么,  不该做什么。

4. Where needn’t you ask for permission when camping?

A. national parks in England

B. most parts of Scotland

C. crowded lowland Britain

D. most parts of England

【解析】选A。 细节理解题。从第二段最后的“but in England you must ask for the landowner’s permission,  except in national parks”可知答案为A。

5. What does the underlined word “unobtrusively” in Para. 1 probably mean?

A. Unofficially.     B. Unattractively.

C. Unnoticeably.     D. Uncomfortably.

【解析】选C。 词义猜测题。此题可用同义释义法得出答案,  后面的leave no mark(不留痕迹)对画线单词做了很好的解释。故选C。

6. What does the last paragraph mainly deal with?

A. protecting animals　

B. building a campfire

C. camping in woodland　　

D. finding a campsite with privacy

【解析】选C。推理判断题。从最后一段的“When camping in woodland. . . Avoid damaging plants. ”可知答案为C。

7. The passage is mainly about _______.  

A. the protection of campsites

B. the importance of wild camping

C. the human influence on campsites

D. the dos and don’t of wild camping

【解析】选D。主旨大意题。阅读全文可知,  本文主要给读者介绍了野外露营时的注意事项,  告诉读者该做什么,  不该做什么。

(know) as the Great Clock itself.

The chimes were last silent in 2007 during conservation and before that from 1983 to 1985 during a period of refurbishment (翻新). Londoners,  however,  needn’t worry 9. Big Ben will continue to strike for important 10. (nation) events such as New Year’s Eve and Remembrance Sunday.

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。大本钟是英国伦敦的地标性建筑, 因要对其进行保护性修缮, 自 2017 年 8 月 21 日起大本钟将不再敲响。但像除夕之夜和阵亡将士纪念日这种重要的全国性活动,  它将仍然会为伦敦市民报时。

1. 【解析】a。考查冠词。大本钟被认为是伦敦的一个地标性建筑。此处表示泛指, 故填不定冠词a。

2. 【解析】it。考查代词。去伦敦旅游的游客可能会感到遗憾, 他们在之后的几年里听不到钟声了。分析句子结构可知, 空处在此作形式宾语, 真正的宾语是后面that引导的从句。故填it。

3. 【解析】attractions。考查名词复数。大本钟的钟声是伦敦最有名的魅力之一。根据语境及句中的“one of”可知此处应填attractions。

4. 【解析】at考查介词。at后接表示价格、速度等, 表示“以……价格/速度”。be assessed at. . . 意思是“估价为”。

5. 【解析】falling。考查非谓语动词。fall与Big Ben之间是逻辑上的主动关系, 应用现在分词作后置定语。故填falling。

6. 【解析】extremely。考查副词。空处修饰形容词important, 故用副词extremely“非常”。

7. 【解析】protecting。考查非谓语动词。in addition to意思为“除……之外(还有)”, 其中 to为介词, 后接动名词作宾语。

8. 【解析】known。考查非谓语动词。know与the clock之间是逻辑上的被动关系, 应用过去分词作后置定语。故填known。

9. 【解析】because。考查状语从句。但是伦敦人不用担心, 因为大本钟会继续为像除夕之夜和阵亡将士纪念日这样重要的全国性活动报时。分析句子结构可知, 空处在此引导原因状语从句, 前面是果, 后面是因, 故填because。

10. 【解析】national。考查形容词。空处修饰名词“events”, 应用形容词。故填national“国家的, 全国的”。
