AWhen you’re lying on the white sands of the Mexican Riviera,the stresses (压力) of the world seem a million miles away.Hey,stop!This is no vacation—you have to finish something!Here lies the problem for travel writer and food critic(评论家)Edie Jarolim,“I always loved travelling and always liked to eat,but it never occurred to me that I co uld make money doing both of those things,”Jarolim said.Now you can read her travel advice everywhere—in ArtsandAntiques,in Brides,or in one of her three books,The CompleteIdiot’sTravelGuideinMexico’sBeachResorts.Her job in travel writing began some eight years ago.After getting a PhD in English in Canada,she took a test for Frommer’s travel guides,passed it,and got the job.After working at Frommer’s,Jarolim worked for a while at Rough Guides in London,then Fodor’s,where she fell so in love with a descript ion of the Southwest of the U.S.that she moved there.Now as a travel writer,she spends one-third of her year on the road.The rest of the time is spent completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson,Arizona.As adventurous as the job sounds,the hard part is fact-checking all the information.Sure,it’s great to write about a tourist attraction,but you’d better get the local(当地的)museum hours correct or you could really ruin someone’s vacation.1Which country does Jarolim live in now?A.Mexico.B.The U.S.C.The U.K.D.Canada.;并结合第四段最后一句“...athomeinTucson,Arizona”可知答案为B项。

2What is most difficult for Jarolim?A.Working in different places to collect information.B.Checking all the facts to be written in the guides.C.Finishing her work as soon as possible.D.Passing a test to write travel guides.“...thehardpartisfact-checkingalltheinformation.”可知答案为B项。

3What do we know about Jarolim from the text?A.She is successful in her job.B.She finds her life full of stresses.C.She spends half of her time travelling.D.She is especially interested in museums.知A项正确。

根据第二段亚罗利姆所说的话“我一直喜欢旅游和美食,但从未想过可以通过这两件事挣钱”可知B项错误。

根据第四段第一句可知她一年中有三分之一的时间在旅游,C项错误;根据文章最后一句可知核实当地博物馆的准确工作时间只是她旅游过程中必须要做的一项工作,而不是因为她对博物馆感兴趣,所以D项错误。

4What would be the best title for the text?A.Adventures in Travel WritingB.Working as a Food CriticC.Travel Guides on the MarketD.Vacationing for a LivingBThere were smiling children all the way.Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway,wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang.Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favourite relatives.This is the simple village people of Malaysia.I was moved.I had always travelled to Malaysia by plane or car,so this was the first time I was on a train.I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread.I looked about the train.There was not one familiar face.I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia.Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore,so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past.As we went beyond the city,I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green.Then the first village came into sight.Immediately I came alive;I decided to wave back.From then on my journey became interesting.I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life.Then everything came alive.The mountains seemed to speak to me.Even the trees were smiling.I stared at everything as if I were looking at it for the first time.The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry.I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm.Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth.I looked at the people all around me.They all looked beautiful.When my uncle arrived with a smile,I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱).I had never done this before.He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile.We walked arm in arm to his car.I looked forward to the return journey.5The author expected the train trip to be .A.adventurousB.pleasantC.excitingD.dull,作者这次乘火车旅行,为了打发时间自己带来很多杂志,尤其是段中“Ilookedaboutthetrain.Therewasnotonefamiliarface.Isighedandsatdowntoreadmy Econo mics.”足以表明作者此时此刻的无聊心境,答案为D项。
