【題目】Saving Money on Holiday Travel

The holiday season isn’t just about shopping and gifts. 【1】 However, holiday travel can get expensive fast faster than you can imagine. Fortunately, the following tips will help you keep your travel spending under control.

Plan ahead. The earlier you book your travel, from flights to hotels, the easier it is to find good deals.【2】 In fact, many experts point out that you should book travel about one to three months earlier so that you can have more opportunities to find the best deals and you know what you will be doing.

Book your air travel on cheaper days. Travelling by air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays often costs less than travelling on Fridays and Sundays. During the holidays, though, it’s not just about a specific day of the week.【3】 Days immediately before and after a holiday can be expensive. If you can adjust your plans so that you can travel on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day, you might be able to find an even better deal.

Consider travelling overnight. Overnight flights often cost less than those at more convenient times.【4】 Depending on where you are going, and the options of how to get there, overnight travel can help you avoid a night in the hotel, as well as save your money on travel to your destination.

【5】 You can’t bring liquids with you on the plane, but you can bring sandwiches and other snacks. When you’re on the road, you can buy food at local groceries to make your own meals. If you are staying in a hotel for a long time, consider cooking your own food, especially if you have access to a microwave.

A. Bring your own food.

B. Consider affordable accommodations.

C. Booking earlier can also save your money.

D. If you are flying, consider alternative airports.

E. You also need to consider the days surrounding the holiday.

F. A great deal of travel also takes place during this time of the year.

G. Other alternatives include sleeper trains, as well as overnight ferries.

【1】根據(jù)前文The holiday season isn’t just about shopping and gifts.(假日季節(jié)不僅僅是購物和買禮物)中的not just可知，F項(xiàng)中的also與之形成遞進(jìn)含義。由此可知，F. A great deal of travel also takes place during this time of the year.(大量的旅行也發(fā)生在每年的這個(gè)時(shí)候)能夠承接上文，符合文意。故選F。

【2】根據(jù)小標(biāo)題或主題句plan ahead, 更是出現(xiàn)了關(guān)鍵詞book預(yù)定，由此可知，C. Booking earlier can also save your money.(提前預(yù)訂也可以省錢)符合文意。故選C。

【3】根據(jù)下文Days immediately before and after a holiday can be expensive. (假期前后幾天的花費(fèi)可能會(huì)很昂貴)可知，E. You also need to consider the days surrounding the holiday.(你還需要考慮假期前后的日子)符合文意。故選E。

【4】本段的主題句：Consider traveling overnight.(考慮通宵旅行)，關(guān)鍵詞是overnight。根據(jù)上句Overnight flights often cost less than those at more convenient times.(通宵航班的費(fèi)用通常比在更方便的時(shí)間更低)，再根據(jù)空格下句Depending on where you are going, and the options of how to get there, overnight travel can help you avoid a night in the hotel, as well as save your money on travel to your destination.(根據(jù)你要去的地方，以及如何到達(dá)那里的選擇，通宵旅行可以幫助你避免在酒店過夜，也可以節(jié)省前往目的地的費(fèi)用)可知，G. Other alternatives include sleeper trains, as well as overnight ferries.(其他選擇包括臥鋪列車以及通宵渡輪)符合文意。故選G。

【5】此處是一個(gè)小標(biāo)題。根據(jù)下文You can't bring liquids with you on the plane, but you can bring sandwiches and other snacks.(在飛機(jī)上你不能隨身攜帶液體，但是你能帶三明治和一些甜食，在公路上你可以在當(dāng)?shù)氐碾s貨店買一些吃的東西)，再根據(jù)小標(biāo)題的特點(diǎn)，A. Bring your own food.(帶你自己的食物)符合文意。故選A。

關(guān)于小標(biāo)題的選擇：七選五題型空格的設(shè)計(jì)主要分布在句首、句中和句尾，另外一種就是小標(biāo)題的空格設(shè)計(jì)。凡是作為標(biāo)題的句子，一定要短小精悍，概括性強(qiáng)，通常使用祈使句。例如小題5小標(biāo)題的選擇就是根據(jù)前幾個(gè)小標(biāo)題可以判斷，此處為動(dòng)詞開頭的祈使句，再根據(jù)后文的內(nèi)容就可以得出答案。

【題目】 Jazz guitarist Joel Harrison came of age in 1960s and 70s' Washington, but he never saw it as a place to build a career as an adventurous, progressive musician. Everywhere he's gone, however, he's taken the sounds of the city with him.

'Growing up in that area allowed me access to a lot of different kinds of music,' says Harrison, 61, who's now based in New York after living in Boston and San Francisco. 'Southern music traditions-old-time music, bluegrass, country as well as jazz and R&B.'

He received a Guggenheim scholarship in2010 to compose and record an, eight-movement piece. The tunes he plays with Free Country are simpler, based on conventions of folk and pop music — which, for Harrison, is a large part of their appeal.

The music that he's covering timeless, and he aims to find endless currency in its timeless simplicity by maintaining me soul of the compositions and also adding a modern context and a modem language to it.

A.His growth environment.

B.His current place of residence.

C.His family background.

D.Touring the country.

【2】What do we know about Joel Harrison?

Last Sunday I saw a worst storm in years. It came sudden and went on for over three hours. After lunch, I went into my room to have a rest. The air was hot, but all was quiet. Then a strong wind started to blow into my room. Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out the open window. As I ran out to catch it, big drop of rain began to fall. When I come back into the house, it was raining more harder and harder. Then I heard a loud crashing sound from the back of the house. When I ran out to find out that had happened, a big tree had fallen down and broke the top of the backroom .

【題目】請(qǐng)閱讀下面短文，并按照要求用英語寫一篇150詞左右的文章。

Is youth lingo ruining the Chinese language?

Young people often create their own language that goes beyond rigid linguistic rules. This year’s latest slang (俚語) terms add a further simplification: the use of pinyin acronyms (首字母縮略詞). “Awsl,” in pinyin, for instance,means “Ah, wo si le” (Oh, I’m gonna die), and is used if something is too cute or adorable to bear. “Pyq” stands for “pengyou quan”, the social feed on the popular Chinese social media app WeChat, and “nsdd” stands for “ni shuo de dui” (you’re right).

Teens want to be different from their parents, so it’s natural for them to create and use their own linguistic terms to show that. In doing so, young people are indeed driving linguistic change. They aren’t the only factor influencing language development, but they can indeed transform how future generations communicate.

Critics fear that Chinese internet slang will have the potential to negatively influence broader linguistic trends of Mandarin Chinese, in particular, the gradual taking over of pinyin. As pinyin gets widely used when texting or writing on mobile phone or computer, while less and less people write characters by hand, people gradually forget how to write them. The phenomenon has got a name in China: Character amnesia(健忘癥).

（寫作內(nèi)容）

1. 用約30個(gè)單詞概述上文年輕人使用網(wǎng)絡(luò)語言的現(xiàn)象；

2. 用約120個(gè)單詞發(fā)表你的觀點(diǎn)，內(nèi)容包括:談?wù)勀愕目捶�，�?/span>23個(gè)理由或論據(jù)支撐你的看法。

（寫作要求）

1. 寫作過程中不能直接引用原文語句；

2. 作文中不能出現(xiàn)真實(shí)姓名和學(xué)校名稱；

3. 不必寫標(biāo)題。
