Question

The value-packed, all-inclusive sight-seeing package that combines the best of Sydney’s harbour, city, bay and beach highlights.

A SydneyPass gives you unlimited and flexible travel on the Explorer Buses: the ‘red’ Sydney Explorer shows you around our exciting city sights while the ‘blue’ Bondi Explorer visits Sydney Harbour bays and famous beaches. Take to the water on one of three magnificent daily harbour cruises (游船). You can also travel free on regular Sydney Buses, Sydney Ferries or CityRail services (limited area), so you can go to every corner of this beautiful city.

Imagine browsing at Darling Harbour, sampling the famous seafood at Watsons Bay or enjoying the city lights on an evening ferry cruise. The possibilities and plans are endless with a SydneyPass. Wherever you decide to go, remember that bookings are not required on any of our services so tickets are treated on a first in, first seated basis.

SydneyPasses are available for 3, 5 or 7 days for use over a 7-calendar-day period. With a 3 or 5-day pass you choose on which days out of the 7 you want to use it. All SydneyPasses include a free Airport Express inward trip before starting your 3, 5 or 7 days, and the return trip is valid (有效的) for 2 months from the first day your ticket was used.

【解析】

试题分析:文章介绍的是如何使用悉尼公交的一种乘车证的广告材料。本文讲SydneyPass提供3，5，7天不等的悉尼的海港城市，海湾和海滩等地旅游路线。

1.D细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句CityRail services (limited area), so you can go to every corner of this beautiful city可判断CityRail services是有限制区域的，故选D。

2.A细节理解题。根据All SydneyPasses include a free Airport Express inward trip可知有SydneyPasse的人可获得一个免费的机场接送，这就可以节省费用，故选A。

考点：考查广告布告类短文阅读

【名师点睛】

广告布告类阅读解题技巧：

阅读这类文章时，也应该在整体把握文章结构的前提下，主要注意细节信息。细节题题干都是相应原文的变形(如同义改写、词性转换等)，因此要找到答案一定要找到题干在原文中的出处，再把原文和选项相比较。做题时，根据所提问题用寻读、跳读的方法可达到事半功倍的效果。同时，在阅读时也要特别注意文中以粗体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字，因为这很有可能是文章的核心或某一部分内容的概括。具体答题策略如下：

1、先题后文：

先读试题，了解考点；明确目的，快速捕捉，获取信息。

2、题干定向：

根据题干关键词到文中定位答案范围，按照题目顺序依次而下：问题与材料相同：对号入座；问题与原文相同：同义替换、归纳事实等。如第19题A SydneyPass doesn’t offer unlimited rides on ________.，根据题干中的unlimited rides，可定位到文中的Sydney Ferries or CityRail services (limited area)，故可知选项中的CityRail services是受限制的，故选D。
