18.With the summer holiday just around the corner,it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations.Here are some tips that can help you enjoy your holiday without emptying your pocket:
Travel off-season
Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts.During the peak season,the hotel and flight prices increase quickly,and you'll likely spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists.(36)D
(37)A
Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms.Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding.Stay with the locals.If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period,renting a small apartment is a good choice.
Eat like a local
Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new(38)EDuring your family trip,try new food where the locals eat.This will not just save money,but also provide you with a new and different experience.For smaller meals and snacks,avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeout.
Don't hesitate to bargain
Tourist-heavy places are known for overcharging for just about everything.Clothes,travel goodies,souvenirs,etc.a(chǎn)re very expensive at these places.(39)FBargain hard to get the best price.
Choose local transportation
(40)GInstead,take buses,railways or subways,which are always cheaper.If you are planning to stay for a while,you can consider renting a car.Hiring a car is much easier than carrying your bags everywhere if you are moving around a lot.

A.Save on hotels.
B.Surf the Internet while traveling.
C.Therefore,avoid buying anything there.
D.So it's best to find out when the off-season starts.
E.Planning your meals is another way to reduce your travel costs.
F.For this reason,you shouldn't feel ashamed to ask for bargains.
G.As a tourist,avoid taking taxis whenever possible,since they are expensive.

分析 本文介紹了在旅行中省錢的幾個(gè)方法.第一,在淡季出去旅行;第二,通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)預(yù)訂酒店;第三,吃當(dāng)?shù)氐氖巢,?dāng)?shù)氐娘埐耍坏谒,敢于討價(jià)還價(jià);第五,選擇公共交通工具.

解答 36-40DAEFG
36.D 考查主旨大意.根據(jù)本段的小標(biāo)題"Travel off-season"可知,最好在旅游淡季出去旅行.故本題選D.
37.A 考查主旨大意.根據(jù)后面的"Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms",可知本段主要講述,如何減少旅游中酒店方面的花費(fèi).故本題選A.
38.E 考查上下文聯(lián)系.根據(jù)后面的內(nèi)容"try new food where the locals eat.This will not just save money",嘗試吃當(dāng)?shù)氐娘埐耍@樣可以省錢.所以對(duì)你的三餐進(jìn)行規(guī)劃是另一種減少旅行費(fèi)用的方式.故本題選E.
39.F 考查上下文聯(lián)系.根據(jù)后面的"Bargain hard to get the best price"可知,作者建議買東西時(shí)要討價(jià)還價(jià),你不應(yīng)該因此感到羞愧.故本題選F.
40.G 考查上下文聯(lián)系.根據(jù)后面的對(duì)比"Instead,take buses,railways or subways,which are always cheaper",坐公共汽車、鐵路或地鐵會(huì)更便宜,可知作者不建議坐出租車,因?yàn)榇虻奶M(fèi)錢了.故本題選G.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 七選五"這樣的題型,主要目的在于"考查考生對(duì)文章的整體內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)以及上下文邏輯意義的理解和掌握.解題時(shí)最主要的兩個(gè)步驟就是1.理清文章的邏輯和結(jié)構(gòu),2.在所給的原文中找出關(guān)鍵詞或者說是線索詞.文章的整體思路能幫助你在答案中篩選出符合邏輯的選項(xiàng),關(guān)鍵詞則能幫助你確定更多的細(xì)節(jié),排除相近的選項(xiàng).這些技巧多練練就能孰能生巧.

8.Thousands of years ago,people killed the wild horses that lived around them for food.Over time,people began to catch the animals and raise them.(36)B
(37)A For example,people may have chosen to keep horses that had a gentle personality so they could be ridden more easily.People who used horses to pull heavy loads would have chosen to keep stronger animals.Characteristics like strength are partly controlled by the animals'genes.(38)D Each new generation of horses would show more of these chosen characteristics.
Modern day horse breeds come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.This variety didn't exist in the horse population before domestication(馴養(yǎng)).The Shetland horse is one of the smallest breeds-typically reaching only one meter tall.(39)F Huge horses like the Clydesdale came on the scene around 300hundred years ago.People bred these heavy,tall horses to pull large vehicles used for carrying heavy loads.
(40)C For example,horses were important tools in the advancement of modern agriculture.Using them to pull ploughs and carry heavy loads allowed people to farm more efficiently.Riding horses allowed people to travel far greater distance in much less time.

A.As people began to tame and ride horses,they chose to keep those animals that had more desirable
characteristics.
B.This was the first step in domestication.
C.The domestication of horses has had great effects on societies.
D.So as the domesticated horses reproduced,they passed the characteristics on to their young.
E.We know that all over the world there are so many horses.
F.With short,strong legs,the animals were bred to pull coal out of mine shafts(礦井)with low ceilings.
G.What do you order your horse to do?

9.A few years ago,I took a sightseeing trip to Washington D.C.I saw many of our nation's treasures,and I also saw a lot of unfortunate people like beggars and homeless folks(人們)in the streets.
Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center,I heard a voice say,"Can you help me?"When I turned around,I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended(伸出).In a natural reaction,I reached into my pocket,pulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand.I didn't even look at her.I was annoyed(生氣) at being bothered(煩) by a beggar.

But now,living in my American middle-class lifestyle,it is too easy to forget my past,to forget who I am and where I have been,and to lose sight of where I want to be going.That blind woman on the street of Washington D.C.cured(治愈) me of my blindness.She reminded me to always keep my eyes and heart open.

(40)DAs the saying goes,laughter is contagious (會(huì)傳染的).So make a point of seeking out positive people who aren't afraid to laugh at themselves and are good at finding humor in life's situations.Young children are especially skilled at finding laughter and joy in everyday moments.

10.Being in a negative space is harmful to our overall well-being.Let's give up some of the most common negative thoughts many of us repeat to ourselves.
●(36)A
Even if you find yourself lacking in something,there's no need to keep repeating it to yourself.The human brain is an unbelievable thing.Be inspired by Dr.Jill Bolte Taylor,who took eight years to recover from her illness and has since then written a best-selling book about her experience and appeared on Oprah.
●No one cares about me.
To accurately say that your family and friends don't care about you would be a very rare situation.Maybe you're being too negative and overlooking the gestures of love they show you.They don't even have to be big gestures,but it's the little things they did for you that count.(37)EStart showing people you care,so they can show you back in kind.

A.I'm not good enough.
B.Be grateful for what you have.
C.You think you won't be able to"get there".
