问题    Read five students’ talks about traveling around Europe using an Inter-Rail ticket.  The ticket allows people under the age of twenty-six to travel wherever they want within Europe for one month. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Patricia:
   I went by Inter-Rail this summer with a group of friends from university. I think it worked very well, although a few of them said they’d never do it again--I guess it wasn’t quite like they thought it was going to be--not as comfortable probably. We usually slept in hostels or on the train so we were completely exhausted but I think we had a great time. Next year I’ll see if I can perhaps visit fewer places and not get so worn out.
Davis:
   I traveled about 6,000 kilometres in four weeks with a couple of friends from college. We spent weeks planning out the route and all the places we were intending to go to. Would I do it again? Well, I’d have to think carefully about that but, on the whole the trip was good for me as I was the official translator, which was great as I’m normally a bit shy of talking to people I don’t know. On the last night of the holiday they treated me to a really expensive meal for helping them out. It was terrific!
Jenison:
   Well, I guess I had a good time now when I look back on it, and I saw eight countries in four weeks. Everything went well but I think that from now on I’ll probably choose to do something else. I want to meet local people rather than just people who work for the train service! I did get to know quite a few other English and American students and they were great but it didn’t do much for my French and German.
Nigel:
   I think it’s definitely the best way of getting around Europe even though you have to spend money on the Inter-Rail ticket before you leave. I have a friend who hitch hikes and he says that’s the only way to travel because it’s free and you see more interesting places. But I knew I could jump on a train wherever I wanted in the morning, while he would still be standing in the rain hoping for a lift. So all in all I think I got the better deal, especially as I could take the night train and save on hotel bills.
Hawk:
   I’ve done it quite a few times now and I’m used to the kind of problems that arise, like having to sleep in a park because the train arrived too late for me to get a hostel bed, and trying to keep to a tight budget. The mistake people often make is to just get off at the tourist spots. Try getting off the train at the little villages, like I do. They’re usually fascinating and the people are friendlier, too. Even if they don’t understand your miserable attempt at their language they still smile and nod.    Now match each of the students (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
   Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] The trip was good value for the money.
[B] The trip gave me a chance to socialize with people.
[C] The trip didn’t work out as expected.
[D] I saw something most people missed.
[E] I wish I had seen more places on the trip.
[F] The trip was tiring yet enjoyable.
[G] I’d like to try something different from this trip.
Davis

解析 本题考查考生的推理能力。第二段文章第四句说自己平时跟陌生人说话害羞，所以这种旅行对他有好处，可以推理出旅行给他提供了更多与人相处和交往的机会。这与B项表述一致。
