文章大意:本文是一篇應(yīng)用文,題材是廣告。作者介紹了4則母親節(jié)期間為母親提供的禮物的廣告。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一則廣告中的“Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up.”(不管是疾病檢查還是定期的醫(yī)療檢查,你都一定要陪母親看醫(yī)生。)可知B正確。關(guān)鍵詞定位:文章中的Promise to be there和be with her是同意表達(dá)。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二則廣告中的“Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information.”可知,幫助母親管理好醫(yī)療診斷記錄,列一張藥及喝藥時(shí)間的清單。故選A。

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞“improve your mother's sleep”定位第三則廣告中的“Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep”(給母親買棉床單和舒適的枕頭,讓母親睡眠更好。)由此可知C正確。

4.推理判斷題。文章最后一段提到Present for Purpose,聯(lián)系該段中的“she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.”可知,這個(gè)禮物可以讓母親給別人提供幫助。

Planning ahead with discount air tickets and hotel booking sites may bring you the prize of an overseas adventure. Here, 21st Century offers some tips on how to plan a cheap, creative travel route.
Book a budget flight
 【小題1】  Discount airlines tend to increase their fare as the plane fills up and early reservations are usually rewarded with the lowest fares.

Another way is to search for a cheap ticket on the websites of low-cost airlines, which offer you very low fares though less comfort.
The budget airline has a long history in the West. It’s also called a no-frills carrier(經(jīng)濟(jì)型航班)for doing away with traditional free services, such as food and drinks. They charge you extra for catering on board, or securing a seat.   【小題3】 
Popular airline routes
Air Asia: The Malaysian-based airline flies form seven cities in China including Tianjin, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, Hangzhou, Guilin and Shenzhen in the Chinese mainland, and provides trips to cities such as Paris and London.   【小題4】  Many tickets are priced under 1500 yuan.
Southwest Airlines: If you go traveling in the US you can take this low-cost airline based in Texas.
