22、ig（D）sheep一、Part Cloze45 When I was a child, my family used to go on holiday every year to visit our relatives in the north-east of England. One of the most exciting things you can do in that part, of the world【46】_to visit the Fame Islands, where you can see many different kinds of birds and other

23、sea creatures, ranging【47】_puffins to seals.One summer, we booked a trip to an island【48】_there was a lighthouse.

24、ould take us to our【53】_(destine). As we headed toward the island, the sky began to cloud over and a strong wind【54】_ (spring) up. We soon found ourselves in an【55】_(extreme) rough sea. If this is what happens in summer, whats the weather like in winter? asked one of the other【56】p_. A member of the

25、 crew, who was standing next to the woman passenger, told her not to worry. He【57】_(sure) her that the storm would pass as quickly as【58】_had come. And he was right! Within half an hour, the sky was bright and the wind had dropped. When we landed on the island, the sea was calm. The wildlife we saw

26、was so amazing【59 】_we decided to make the trip a regular feature of future holidays【60】wha_the weather!Section A60 The decision about where to live while studying at the tertiary level can have a major influence on a students chances of success. It is important that particular needs, such as securi

27、ty, a quiet place to study, and a convenient location, are taken into consideration before a choice is made. Various options available to students are discussed below: 1. Private Rental Accommodation. A single student can either move into an existing household or establish one with friends or acquai

28、ntances. Rent and expenses such as bonds, electricity, gas, and the telephone are shared equally among the people living in the household. Buying food and cooking is done either individually or on a group basis. Each person is expected to help clean and tidy the shared living space, that is, the kit

29、chen, bathroom, and living room. Each is responsible for cleaning his or her own room and doing the washing. The best place to start looking is on notice-boards around universities and colleges, or in the windows of nearby coffee shops. Students often advertise for housemates, and those seeking acco

30、mmodation should advertise their situation too. Local real estate agents often provide a share service, although there is usually a significant fee for this. A last resort would be the To Let or Share Accommodation sections of the weekend newspapers. A small number of flats and houses are available

31、through the university or college housing offices , but most are found through local real estate agents. Unfortunately, there is no cheap way to move into a house or flat. When renting, a person is usually required to sign a six-month lease, and pay rent in advance plus a refundable bond. Remember t

32、o make allowances for these establishment costs, and include the purchase price of furniture and equipment. Starting from scratch means a rental bond, rent in advance, a telephone bond and connection fee, electricity or gas connection fees, furniture, utensils, appliances, and so on. Even moving int

33、o an established house can cost more money than most students expect. You should find out about all the extra costs before signing a lease and committing yourself. Moving out before the end of the lease period requires the rent to be paid until a suitable new tenant is found. 2. Lodgings. Lodgings r

34、efers to a furnished room in a private home (of a family or elderly person) with use of facilities such as kitchen, bathroom, and laundry. Sometimes cooking facilities and bathroom are separate, but are usually shared. No meals are provided. Students buy their own food, do their own cooking, clean t

35、heir rooms, and do their own washing. Use of the telephone in the home is an extra cost, but electricity is usually included in the rent. Rooms for lodgers are always available in suburbs around universities and colleges, but there is an increased demand as institutions begin their first intake of n

36、ew students. 3. Homestays. Homestays are a furnished room and use of facilities in a private home (of a family or elderly person) , with dinner and breakfast provided. Some, but not all, provide lunches, bed linen, laundry , service, and weekly room cleaning. It is difficult to find full board accom

37、modation because the number of places listed is limited. A room with use of facilities (own cooking) is easier to find in suburbs close to university and college campuses. The cost for full board is about a third as much a-gain as for proper rental arrangements. In summary, finding accommodation whi

38、le you study is a difficult business, and it is recommended that advice be sought wherever possible. Do not underestimate the costs involved; students invariably complain that they overspend. Nonetheless, in the long run, it is probably wise to pay a little extra in order to ensure comfort and ease

39、while engaged in an all-important study programme.61 The main difference between homestay accommodation and lodgings is that_.（A）homestays cost more（B） food is not provided in lodgings（C） students usually have to share their food in lodgings（D）students can do their own cooking in homestays62 Full bo

40、ard in homestays costs_.（A）about 30% less than rental（B） about one third as much as rental（C） less than lodgings（D）about 30% more than rental63 Rent and expenses in private accommodation arrangements are_with friends and acquaintances.64 If you rent accommodation using a real estate agent, you are e

41、xpected to live in the house or flat for a minimum period of_.65 Before making a commitment to a real estate agent, its sensible to find out about_.Section B65 The QUIK-FRYTM Electronic WokInstructions for Use: It is most important that you read this instruction booklet carefully before first using
