打折卡的促銷信息，介紹了其優(yōu)惠政策等?？赏浦?，這條信息的目的是銷售打折卡。故選D。

【22題詳解】

aged4to11accompaniedbythecardholder（由持卡人陪同的一名4至11歲兒童可獲減免60%）”可知，如果

一張從巴黎到倫敦的長途票需要花費200歐元，那么一位持有打折卡的成年人和他10歲的兒子需要支付

79+200X（l-60%）=159歐元。故選C。

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了老人和兒子去市集上賣驢，先是一群婦女說應(yīng)該讓兒子騎上驢，

老人照做了。后來遇到一群老人，老人們指責兒子不應(yīng)該騎驢，于是老人自己坐了上去，后來又遇到一群

婦女和孩子，指責老人騎驢，而兒子跟不上自己，于是二人一起坐了上去。最后一個市民指責他們都坐在

驢子上，驢子太受罪，于是老人艱難地把驢扛過了鎮(zhèn)子入口附近的一座橋，結(jié)果驢子因為掙扎掉到了河里。

的人的嘲笑，直到驢子不喜歡這噪音和它所受的奇怪的處理，掙斷了綁著它的繩子，從桿子上掉到河里）”

可知，老人的損失是他自己造成的。故選A。

【25題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段"Thisentertainingsightbroughtthepeopleincrowdstolaughatit,tillthedonkey,not

子因為掙扎掉到了河里?？芍?，作者在他的故事中以合理到不正常邏輯順序排列事件。故選B。

fellintotheriver.（這一有趣的景象引來了成群的人的嘲笑，直到驢子不喜歡這噪音和它所受的奇怪的處理，

掙斷了綁著它的繩子，從桿子上掉到河里）”可推知，驢子本來是用來馱人的，結(jié)果這個老人卻要把驢子背

過橋，可推測驢在這個過程中感覺困惑。故選C。

【28題詳解】

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Westernmusictypicallyuses12notes-C,D,E,F,G,AandB,plusfivefats（降調(diào)）and

equalsharps（升調(diào)）inbetween,whichare:Csharp/Dflat（they'rethesamenote,justnameddifferently）,Dsharp/Eflat,

Fsharp/Gflat,Gsharp/AflatandAsharp/Bflat.”（西方音樂通常使用12個音符——C、D、E、F、G、A和B,

外加5個介于兩個音符之間的降調(diào)或升調(diào)：C升調(diào)/D降調(diào)（它們是同一個音符，只是名稱不同）、D升調(diào)/E

降調(diào)、F升調(diào)/G降調(diào)、G升調(diào)/A降調(diào)和A升調(diào)/B降調(diào)。）可知，12個音符的正確排序為：C、C升調(diào)/D降調(diào)、

D、D升調(diào)/E降調(diào)、E、F、F升調(diào)/G降調(diào)、G、G升調(diào)/A降調(diào)、A、A升調(diào)/B降調(diào)、B。故選D。

句"Piecesofmusicarefamiliarentirelybecauseoftheseintervals.（一些音樂聽起來很熟悉完全是因為這些音
