My brother is ill, and I’ve come to him. 查看更多

 

题目列表(包括答案和解析)

Rail passengers are being forced to pay thousands of pounds more in fares as a result of poor advice from the national telephone help line and individual stations, a consumer organization reveals today. Research by Which? found that in some cases passengers are being charged almost double the cheapest price because of errors made by staff.  

Which? asked 25 questions of both station staff and the National Rail Enquiries (NRES) helpline. Only half of the 50 questions were answered correctly. If customers had followed all the advice given, they would have been 1,263. 60 worse off.  

Bad advice was given for the cheapest fare for a single journey between London and Grantham. For a ticket bought on the day of travel, both NRES and a King’s Cross station clerk quoted GNER’s £44. 50 fare, ignoring a Hull Trains service which leaves 10 minutes earlier and costs just £20.  

Some of the most costly misinformation was given for journeys where season tickets should have been recommended. Passengers making a return journey between Swindon and Penzance twice in a week could buy a ticket from one company for £70 which would cover all the travel. But both NRES and station staff quoted £67 for each journey, making £134. However, the NRES website proved to be a much more reliable source of information.  

Which? also checked “the earlier you book, the cheaper the ticket” claims by five companies and found this was not always the case. On some services, prices went up and down at random.  

Ithiel Mogridge, 52, gave one example of poor advice: “Last Christmas I found my brother a ticket on the train line. Come to travel from Blackburn to Yate. While the direct route was £51, this one involved a change in Newport and cost just £21. I emailed the details to him and his partner. They went to Blackburn station, where the clerk insisted the fare was £51.”  

Malcolm Coles, editor of which.co.uk said: “Staff training needs to be improved. In the meantime, we’ve designed a checklist, available at which.co.uk / railadvice.”  

 

72. According to the passage “which?” is a ________.  

A. national telephone helpline  

B. department under the British Rail  

C. consumer organization  

D. website under the National Rail Enquiries  

73. When the author said that customers “would have been £1,263. 60 worse off”, he was telling us that customers would have _________.  

A. saved £1,263. 60 if they had followed the advice  

B. spend £1,263. 60 more than the lowest price  

C. used £1,263. 60 for the survey of 25 questions  

D. been cheated of £1,263. 60 from the poor advice  

74. The phrase at random in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “_________”.  

A. casually                  B. purposefully              C. exactly                     D. inevitably  

75. The passage is mainly concerned with the phenomenon that __________.  

A. rail passengers can get cheaper tickets if they book earlier  

B. rail passengers are ill-treated by station staff  

C. booking clerks and the telephone helpline offer reliable information  

D. train passengers get bad advice on fares

About friendship

Section B

We often say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.” But what is the exact meaning of friendship? No one can really offer a definite concept, because different people hold various views on friendship.

Everyone has his own friendship and some have a lot of friends.But in fact, quantity is not so important as quality.Loyalty is the most important for friendship.No one wants to make friends with those who will betray them.

No matter whether you are married or not, no matter where you live and work, your friends are your friends.It is not based on bloodline.It relies on your intention.To you, some friends are fun-loving, some give encouragement, some offer knowledge, and others help you to find your own identity.Before your friends, you may act as a supervisor, a learned brother, a lovely child, a gentleman or a playmate.In a word, friendship helps you to be a full person.So friendship can benefit.
