The next long vacation might be still months away, but it’s never too early to tailor a good travel plan.
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.
Most major domestic airlines offer discount tickets for off-peak travel. China Southern Airlines now provides favorable group purchase ticket deals to attract tourists to cities like Hong Kong and Guilin.   小題2: 
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.
Find a cheap 5-star service hotel
 小題5:  It’s a great idea to look for YHA(Youth Hostels Associa-tion)backpackers, or Bed & Breakfast deals online.
A.It can transfer you to most South East Asian countries.
B.So you have to read more discount information before boarding.
C.The key to getting any good-priced plane ticket is to reserve the flight early.
D.So it’s wiser to take hand luggage because many budget airlines put a fee on checked in luggage.
E. Air China and Beijing Capital Airlines offer tickets with as much as 75 to 80 percent discounts.
F. Like airline tickets, the price for a budget hotel depends on when you book it: the earlier, the cheaper.
G. Get your holiday off to a flying start by booking a cheap flight to hundreds of destinations ebookers offers.

小題1:C
小題2:E
小題3:D
小題4:A
小題5:F

試題分析:本文講述的是人們在制定旅游計劃之前,要充分考慮到提前預(yù)定可以節(jié)省很多的錢。
小題1:C 根據(jù)下句early reservations are usually rewarded with the lowest fares.可知早早地預(yù)定機(jī)票可以讓人們拿到低價機(jī)票。故C項正確。
小題2:E 根據(jù)前句China Southern Airlines now provides favorable group purchase ticket deals to attract tourists to cities like Hong Kong and Guilin.可知很多航空公司都給出了很優(yōu)惠的機(jī)票價格來吸引人們。E項正是這樣的具體例子。故E正確。
小題3:D 根據(jù)前句They charge you extra for catering on board, or securing a seat.可知這些公司會受一些額外的費(fèi)用,所以我們的行李方面也要當(dāng)心,不要多帶,以免付額外的費(fèi)用。故D正確。
小題4:A 根據(jù)前句可知這家航空公司可以把乘客帶到世界各地,A項正是這樣的具體內(nèi)容。
小題5:F 根據(jù)前幾段內(nèi)容可知航空公司的機(jī)票很便宜,同樣道理,如果你提前預(yù)定,賓館的價格也會便宜很多。
點(diǎn)評:本文講述的是人們在制定旅游計劃之前,要充分考慮到提前預(yù)定可以節(jié)省很多的錢。本題的關(guān)鍵在于要根據(jù)上下文的語境來找出串聯(lián)的信息點(diǎn),把握上下文之間的邏輯關(guān)系,通過前后的意思連貫性及細(xì)致性用心的答題,定能完成的很好。

Different people have different views on opportunity.   1  . Others, however, argue that everybody will have some kind of opportunity during his life.
As far as I am concerned, I agree with the latter opinion.   2  . No person will be unlucky enough to have no opportunities all the time, because “every dog has his day”. For another, since opportunities don’t come often, we have to make good preparations and improve ourselves. Opportunities may easily slip away otherwise.   3  .
Taking all these factors into consideration, we may safely come to the conclusion that there are quite a few opportunities in our society. Only if we get well prepared can we recognize opportunity, seize opportunity and take full advantage of opportunity.   4  .
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從A、B、 C、D和E中選出最適合放入短文空缺處的選項。選項中有一項是多余的。
A. In summary, opportunities play the most important role on the road to success
B. For one thing, I firmly believe opportunities are everywhere around us
C. Some people think that there are few opportunities in the world
D. As the saying goes, opportunities are only for the prepared minds
E. Just think of Isaac Newton, who discovered the Law of Gravity when many people had watched an apple falling ahead of them

My wife and I went to a supermarket, there we bought some cold drinks and cakes. After we came out of the supermarket, we noticed that in the front of the supermarket was a nice little garden with benches for people relax on. We sat there and started enjoying the things we have just bought. There was ten small cakes in the bag and we couldn’t eat all of it. I wanted to share, but of whom? A young boy appeared.

Recently I read an article in a magazine. It was of a mother who was worried about his son just because of he always kept his hair long. The mother thought that was not right, but the son felt there was nothing unusually about it. Different generations have different opinions on the same thing. That is what is meaning by “ the generation gap”. We can see them in our daily lives. Most of our parents like listening to old song while young people prefer pop songs. Every time my father finds me listen to rock music, he always shouted, “Shut it off. It’s awful!” How can we deal the generation gap?
