Question

 Do you have any places to visit during this fall? How about the following two places? Tulum, Mexico

Why You Should Go：Tulum is about an hour and a half south of Cancun，down the Riviera Maya of Mexico. The beaches there have not been developed yet.

Where to Sleep: The most common type of houses in Tulum are small ones with no frills(不实用的装饰) on or near the beach;you'll like the ocean wind,as the small houses nearly don't have air conditioners. Hemingway has waterfront(滨水区的) small houses with gardens.

Where to Eat: You can probably eat at your hotel;the owners often cook. You can also take

a taxi into the center of the city Tulum and eat at Carlos'n Charlie's,which offers live music. Budapest，Hungary Why You Should Go: Budapest is less expensive and less explored than other Western European capitals. It has the beautiful Buda Castle,and the Danube River divides the city Buda from Pest.

Where to Sleep：The Opera House and museums are in central Pest,but staying in Buda can be cheaper. The Hotel Astra ( doubles from $144) is in central Buda. Vadvirag Panzio (doubles from $81) is very cheap in nearby Buda Hills,but you'll have to take a bus into town.

Where to Eat: Have coffee at the popular Ruszwurm. For dinner,try the traditional Tabani Terasz. "It's below scenic Castle Hill and is still unknown to most tourists," says Ben Curtis,a guide from Rick Steves' tour company，Europe Through the Back Door.

Answer 1

 5-8 CDBA

B篇是一则介绍墨西哥的Tulum和匈牙利' 的Budapest两个旅游城市商业广告。广告主要谈了去两地的游览目的和食宿地点。

5.C意图揣摩题。从短文开头的两个问句和下文的三个小标题可以得知该答案。

6.D数字运算题。3 x$144= $432。

7.B逻辑推理题。根据该名字的构成和该城市处在多瑙河两岸的地理位置可知该答案。A项叙述与Budapest is less expensive的描述不符；beautiful Buda Castle当然是在Buda 了;D项叙述文中未提及。

8.A逻辑推理题。从广告的最后一段可知该答案。B项与The most common type of hou?ses in Tulum are small ones with no frills(不实用的装饰) on or near the beach的描述不相符;C项叙述不得而知；D项叙述与文中Tulum is about an hour and a half south of Cancun描述不相符。
