the accommodations．The traditional way to take a vacation is to pack some bags,lock up the house,and travel to a new place to stay in a hotel．However,hotels are very expensive,and with rent or housing loan（贷款）due every month,it’s difficult for most people to pay for yet another place to stay．71 Luckily,there is a substitute called house swapping,and it’s saving tourists a great deal of cash．72 For example,if a couple from New York want to spend a week in Paris,they would place an ad offering to trade their New York apartment for one in Paris for a week．If a Parisian couple that want to vacation in New York read the advertisement,houses can be swapped,and both couples save hundreds,if not thousands,of dollars by avoiding big-city hotel fees．If all goes well,both couples can post positive reviews of the other’s home online so that potential travelers can see that everything was fine．73 This builds a community of people who want to help each other out．There are other advantages co house swapping as well．74 Staying at someone’s home puts you in a neighborhood that can give you a better representation of the life and culture in the place you’re visiting．75 The next time you want to spend your vacation in a new place,but don’t want to pay a fortune,check what’s posted online and find a house to swap．A．House swapping is most common in New York and Paris．B．Hotels are often quite difficult to book when you want to explore a new home．C．A lot of times,this extra cost prevents travelers from going very far from home．D．To swap houses,people check the Internet for others planning to travel and trade homes．E．With many house swapping sites growing,this new phenomenon is becoming easier than ever．F．Hotels are often located where few people live,making them a strange place to experience a city．G．On the other hand,if there were trouble,people could write about that to wan others not to trust the swappers．【参考答案】71—75、CDGFE【陕西省西安市第一中学2014高考英语二模试题】情景对话(共5小题,每小题1分,满分5分)根据对话情景和内容,从对话后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两个为多余选项。--Oh,Christina,is that you?How have you been?--I’ve been okay.I’ve just been busy

finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine.A piece of news caught my eye:NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover(火星探测器)．Before I even knew anything else about it，a single word flooded my 11 year old mind:Curiosity.I couldn’t want for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay.That afternoon,I raced home,sat down at the computer,and typed until my fingers ached.“Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind...”Five months later,my mom received a phone call,and immediately,a wide smile spread across her face.On August 5,2012，at 10：31 p．m.,the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars,and I was honored to have a front row seat in NASA.Curiosity is such an important part of who I am.I have always been fascinated by the stars,the planets,the sky and the universe.I remember as a little girl,my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours.She’d tell me stories and point out the stars.Grandma lived in China,thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas,but the stars kept us together even when we were apart.They were always there,yet there was so much I didn’t know about them.That’s what I love so much about space.People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars.My answer is simple because we’re curious.We human beings do not just hole_up in one place.We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.1．How did Clara get the news about the essay contest？(no more than 10
