英国人对穿着十分讲究。
英国的男性和女性无论在什么时候对自己的服装和打扮都十分注意,这是他们的绅士和淑女风度给人的第一印象。
也许天气因素对服饰文化有潜移默化的影响,女性的服装几乎都是纯色、无花纹的,决不花枝招展,但很注意服饰的搭配:
冬天,黑色的呢子外套配上一条醒目的粉红或白色围巾,几乎是英国女性的经典打扮。

【文章大意】旅行的乐趣让人难以抵挡,当然,旅行也很贵,而且也不那么容易能挤出时间。
本文主要介绍了一些应对之策。
1.【解析】选A。
旅行的乐趣让人难以抵挡,当然,旅行也很贵,而且也不那么容易能挤出时间出去旅行。
2.【解析】选B。
根据后面的youcancomeupwithagoodplan和comeupwithaplanfornextyear可知,本段主要谈论的是“制订计划,即使是长期计划也行”。
【误区警示】有些同学可能会误选E。
本段谈到了“计划”,但没有谈到“等待”,故E项错在whileyou’rewaitingforyourtrip。
3.【解析】选F。
本段谈论的是“好好利用等待的时间”,再结合wemightbehappierplanningandexpectingatrip可知,F项“人们都期待假期旅行”符合语境。
4.【解析】选G。
根据前面的theenjoymentstartsweeks和planningisabigpartoftheenjoyment可知,G项“你甚至可以考虑通过每月设立一些计划目标来让你保持兴奋感”符合语境。
5.【解析】选D。
本段谈论的是“打破你的每日常规生活”,再结合前面的Wegettoseesomenewplaces可知,我们可以看到新的地方,学到新的东西,感受到新的文化。
Ⅲ.短文改错
假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。
文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。
每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。
增加:
在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除:
把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉。
修改:
在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意:
1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;
2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。
