现代大学英语听力 Unit 5 Book 1答案(7)

9:30 on Saturday morning for a walk through the great parks of London. We'll take a short trip on the underground to Lancaster Gate and stroll across Hyde Park to the Famous Serpentine Lake. Don't forget to bring a piece of toast from breakfast with you to feed the ducks. From there we'll cross over Hyde Park Corner, one of the busiest traffic intersections in central London, and make our way down Constitution Hill in Green Park to Buckingham Palace. If we can see the royal standard flying on top of the Palace, we'll know that the queen is at home, but I don't suppose we shall see her. From Buckingham Palace, we shall cross into the third Royal Park of St James’s--possibly the most beautiful of all, and we shall arrive at The Horse Guards in plenty of time to see the ceremony of the Changing of the Guard which takes place every morning at 11 o'clock. On Saturday afternoon you might like to visit The Houses of Parliament. Remember they are only open to visitors on Saturdays during Parliamentary sessions. If there is some shopping you have now is the time to visit the Oxford Street stores or if you feel like relaxing on a boat for a while you can come with me on a trip down the River Thames to Greenwich. I'll be at Westminster Pier near Houses of Parliament at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, so join me then if you'd like to visit the Maritime Museum and the Old Observatory at Greenwich and see some of the great River Thames at the same time.

Saturday night is theatre night and we shall have tickets available

for either a top musical or a straight play. I'll give you details on Friday when you arrive and you'll be able to choose which you want to go to. On Sunday morning you'll have the opportunity to visit the great street market of London in Petticoat Lane. I'll be leaving the hotel at 10:30. You can buy anything from a tin whistle to a tiara in Petticoat Lane, so come and join in the fun. I'll take you to a traditional London pub for lunch afterwards and then it will be time to get back to the hotel, pick up your luggage and begin your journey home.
