    Café en Seine
    The wildly luxury(奢华) new art style of this huge bar has been a massive hit since it first opened in 1995, and while it may not be the “in” place it once was, it is still very popular with the after-work crowd and out-of-towners. Maybe it’s the glass frames, or the real 12m-high trees; but most likely it’s the beautiful people supporting the wood-and-marble bar.
    Good for: decoration, cocktails, amazing food and service
    Address: 40 Dawson St
    Transport: all city centre
    Phone: 01 677 4369
    Gravediggers (aka Kavanagh’s)
    The gravediggers from the neighboring Glasnevin Cemetery had a secret serving hatch(舱口)  so that they could drink on the job – hence the pub’s nickname. Founded in 1833 by one John Kavanagh and still in the family, this pub is one of the best in Ireland, almost unchanged in 150 years. In summer time the green of the square is full of drinkers basking in the sun, while inside the hardened locals ensure that never a hint of sunshine disturbs some of the best Guinness in town. An absolute classic.
    Good for: Guinness, traditional pub, pub food
    Address: 1 Prospect Sq Glasnevin
    Transport: 13 from city centre
    Phone: 830 7978
    Davy Byrne’s
    James Joyce, an Irish author and a poet (1882-1941), would hardly recognise the bar that Leopold Bloom rushed into for a gorgonzola sandwich and a glass of wine in Ulysses. It doesn’t stop Davy Byrne’s from making the most of its Joyce’s connections, even though today's version is strictly for out-of-towners and the rugby crowd.
    Good for: socializing with the locals, tasty Irish food, watching TV
    Address: 21 Duke St
    Transport: all city centre
    Website: www.davybyrnes.com
    Phone: 01 677 5217

    They say that "seeing is believing", but when it comes to TV commercials, this is not always the case.
    The world's leading mobile phone maker, Nokia, released its latest model Lumia 920 on Sept. 5. The smart phone was supposed to possess an advanced camera, which let customers shoot better pictures at night and record stabilized videos. To show how well these features work, the Finnish company released an ad showing a man and a woman riding bicycles side by side, with the man taking a video of the woman on the phone. However, several hours later, technology website The Verge uncovered that the video was neither shot with the new product, nor shot from someone riding a bicycle. Instead, someone in a lorry next to the woman took the video using a professional video camera.
    The next day Nokia apologized, "In an effort to demonstrate the benefits of visual image stabilization, we produced a video that simulates（看起来像）what we will be able to deliver." Indeed, what we have seen in ads is more or less a simulation——a practice called "advertising photography".
    McDonald's video in June explained the "art". It showed how its burgers get dolled up（装扮）before going on camera. Like models preparing for a magazine cover shoot, burgers also get designed in a photography studio. They are prepared for hours and put together with absolute precision so they look their best before photo shoots. Each ingredient, such as onions and sauce, is carefully put into place to make the burger look much juicier, bigger and tastier. Computer software Photoshop is also used to add visual effects.
    So don't feel ____________________when you get a burger that never looks like what you see in ads.
    小题1: What do the underlined words "the case" in Paragraph l refer to? （within 5 words）
    小题2: For what purpose did Nokia create the video? （within 8 words）
    小题3:Why did Nokia apologize based on the text? （within 10 words）
    小题4:Why does the author give the example of McDonald's video in Paragraph 4? （within 10 words）
    小题5:Fill in the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words.（within 2 words）

    Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere wall away from your college.
    King’s Art Centre
    A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.
    You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn from the masters’ or get more creative with paint – free of charge.
    The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.
    the Botanic Garden
    The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.
    The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.
    Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.
    The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.
    Byron’s Pool
    Many stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I’m not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.
    It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don’t trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf – over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool.
    小题1:As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for ____.
    A．attending the masters’ classB．working with local artists
    C．learning life drawingD．seeing an exhibition
    小题2:“Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are ____.
    A．common insectsB．impressive plants
    C．rarely-seen snakesD．wildlife-enthusiasts
    小题3:We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed ____.
    A．to fear pet bearsB．to like walking
    C．to be a heavy drinkerD．to finish university in 1805
    小题4: In the passage Byron’s Pool is described as a lake ____.
    A．surrounded by fieldsB．owned by Lord Byron
    C．located in GrantchesterD．discovered by Virginia Woolf
    小题5:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．Some places for weekend break.
    B．A way to become creative in art.
    C．The colorful life in the countryside.
    D．Unknown stories of Cambridge University.
