4．New York Transit Museum：Ghost Station Tour
City Hall Station，an abandoned station of the New York Rapid Transit （运输） subway，was originally the last stop at the southern end of the subway line．Opened in 1904，the station was designed to be the most impressive station of the city's new subway system．
City Hall Station remained in use until 1945，when the station had to be closed due to certain changes in the city's subway system．As more and more passengers started to travel by subway，it became necessary to add more cars to subway trains．This meant that subway platforms needed to be extended to fit the longer trains．However，City Hall Station was originally built with a short，bent platform，making improvements to the station difficult．Rather than trying to rebuild it，officials chose to abandon City Hall Station in favor of another nearby station，the Brooklyn Bridge Station．Thus，City Hall became a"ghost"（鬼，幽灵） station on the New York subway line，a modern underground ruin．
Although the station is no longer used by subway travelers，the New York Transit Museum has found a new use for the station．The museum has reopened City Hall Station for tourists．Due to the historic significance and beauty of this station，the New York Transit Museum schedules special tours of the station．With some new features added，the station has been named as a landmark by the U．S．government．
Tour Information and Reservations
Please make reservations with the Transit Museum from Tuesday to Friday，10am to 4pm．Payment in advance is required for tours and must be received at least one week before the scheduled tour．Payment can be made by credit or check．
Tours may require a lot of walking．Wear good walking shoes and comfortable clothes．For your safety，follow the instructions of the tour guide when touring abandoned stations，stay with the group at all times，and follow instructions or signs at the facilities．
Photography is not permitted inside abandoned facilities and some tours have been restricted since 2001due to security concerns．Please check before booking．

分析本文主要向我们介绍了纽约地铁博物馆：鬼站之旅，市政厅站是一个废弃的车站，虽然不再由地铁旅客使用，但是纽约地铁博物馆找到了它的新用途，使游客可以到这里旅游，同时文章介绍了旅游信息以及预定需要知道的事情．

解答 21．A 主旨大意题，本文主要介绍了市政厅站的历史及特点，故选A．
22．D 细节理解题，由第二段However，City Hall Station was originally built with a short，bent platform，making improvements to the station difficult．可知是最初建立的一个短的弯曲的平台使车站改进很困难，故选D．
23．B 理解推断题，根据Please make reservations with the Transit Museum from Tuesday to Friday，可知到市政厅站旅游是需要预定的，B正确；误解分析：根据Tours may require a lot of walking可知需要步行，并没有提到坐火车，故A错；文中并没有提到旅行时间，故C错；根据Payment in advance is required for tours and must be received at least one week before the scheduled tour．Payment can be made by credit or check．可知可以提前一周预约，故D错；故选B．
24．C　推理判断题，根据New York Transit Museum：Ghost Station Tour及Tour Information and Reservations可知我们最有可能在一个博物馆指南上看到这篇文章，故选C．

点评做阅读理解时要快速的浏览全文，把握文章主旨大意，带着问题回到原文，寻找细节或概括相应的答案，最后要理清作者写作思路．

1．Stage Fright
Imagine that you are an actor performing in a play for the first time．You have learned all your lines and you know where to walk on stage．Waiting behind the closed curtain，you can hear the audience whispering and taking their seats．
Then your big moment arrives!The curtain goes up，and the crowd falls silent．All you can see is the spotlight shining down on you．（71）DThe inside of your mouth is dry，and your hands are wet．
If you have experienced a moment like this，you know all too well what it means to have stage fright．It is one of the most common types of fear and tends to strike people when they find themselves at the center of attention．（72）BPeople experience this fear when playing sports，giving a presentation，or even speaking in class．A person who suffers from stage fright may get sweaty hands，a dry mouth，a tight throat，or shaky knees．Stage fright is actually a form of panic，and these feelings are very real．

（74）FPracticing your performance and following some simple tips can help calm nerves and manage the feelings caused by anxiety．First，dress comfortably and appropriately．Second，before the performance，take deep breaths and stretch to help relax your body．Third，stay away from drinks that contain caffeine．（75）A Instead，try a banana!Some doctors believe that eating a banana can help calm your heart and the rest of your body．Finally，when you look into a crowd，try to focus on particular people instead of the whole group．These tips have helped many people learn to deal with their fears．

A．These might make your heart race even faster．
B．You don't have to be onstage to get stage fright．
C．Stage fright is part of the body's reaction to stress．
D．You try to speak your lines，but nothing seems to come out．
E．With practice，we can learn how to relax while playing sports．
F．The good news about stage fright is that here are ways to deal with it．
G．However，there is a time when stage fright prevents you from stepping onstage．

4Hotels That Will Make Your Life Easier
BY JOHN BRANDON
For the business traveler who is all about efficiency：Check out these hotels that will get you in and out with a minimum of trouble．
When you are pressed for time on a business trip，nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in process．On your next trip，try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process．

1．Yotel New York
The self-service kiosks at this high-tech New York hotel work just like the ones you'd see at an airport．There are just five-steps to register and obtain your card key．There is even a robotic luggage bellboy．You tap in the number of bags you are carrying and sizes，then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker （say，for a day trip）．This also speeds up the check-in process if the first thing you need to do，like me，is head to a series of meetings．
2．Marriott Detroit Airport
Another option for business travelers in a hurry：Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325hotels this year，including the Marriott Detroit Airport hotel．（I've tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet．） Here is the basic idea：you download the iphone or Android app．The night before，you can"check-in"virtually．When you arrive，you get an alert that the room is ready and your key，which is already tied to your reservation，is waiting for you at the desk．
3．Hyatt Regency Minneapolis
I happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works．Like the Yotel，the kiosk asks you to insert your credit card，similar to an airport terminal．The whole process took about three minutes，when I left，I was equally impressed with the fast check-out．An agent meets you in the lobby with an ipad and asks for an email to use for a receipt．The big advantage：you never have to wait in line．
4．Radisson：LaCrosse
The Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster，at a few select hotels like the Radisson Lacrosse in Wisconsin，you use a mobile app to register and then receive a barcode by email or text．When you get the kiosk，you scan the barcode to get your key without any other steps required．It's super fast．You can find this new check-in system at the Radisson hotels in Salt Lake City，Seattle，and Phoenix as well．

70．What does the word"infuriate"in paragraph 2most mean？A
A．annoy
B．remind
C．amuse
D impress
71．Which two hotels offer a mobile app for customers to check in？B
A．Yotel New York and Marriott Detroit Airport．
B．Marriott Detroit Airport and Radisson：LaCrosse．
C．Marriott Detroit Airport．and Hyatt Regency Minneapolis．
D．Hyatt Regency Minneapolis and Radisson：LaCrosse．
72．Which hotel will send you a receipt by email？D
A．Yotel New York．
B．Marriott Detroit Airport．
C．Radisson：LaCrosse．
D．Hyatt Regency Minneapolis．
73．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？D
A．At Yotel New York，a robot will help you with all the check-in process．
B．With its check-in app，you may enter your room in Marriott without a key．
C．Hyatt Regency Minneapolis is close to an airport terminal．
D．The barcode you receive from Radisson contributes to the fast check-in．
