Answer 1

5—8 DBAC

B本文主要介绍了几个英国旅游景点的打折促销活动。

5.D信息匹配题。从第三段中信息句Hotels include the Bowling Green apartment in a me?dieval castle on the Isle of Wight...,尤其提示词castle，可知只有D项所含图片与原文信息相匹配。

6.B推理判断题。结合第四段中City Inn (ht-tp://www.cityinn.com) 和…at their hotels in Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds…两个信息点可推知，B项正确。

7.A细节理解题。通过比较倒数第二段New price is £495 ,a reduction of £400'和倒数第三段Seven nights cost £2,969. 50( saves about £1,500) ，显然易知，Blue Chip Vacations提供的折扣相对较小，因此A项正确;其他三项中，B 、C两项与原文信息相反，D项则依据不足。

8. C细节理解题。从本文的标题可知，C项正确;另外，English Heritage一段中并没有明确提出其预订时间是December,因此排除D 项，其他两项均易排除。
