【題目】I had trouble telling Pedro he’d lost his job. I started ______ and talking about one door closing and another door opening.

A. beating a dead horse B. adding fuel to the fire

C. beating around the bush D. opening Pandora’s box

【答案】C

【解析】考查俚語辨析。句意：告訴佩德羅已丟了工作我怕會有麻煩，于是我開始拐彎抹角說一扇門關(guān)閉了另一扇門就會打開。A. beating a dead horse徒勞無功；B. adding fuel to the fire火上澆油；C. beat around the bush和beat about the bush是“拐彎抹角”，“旁敲側(cè)擊”或“說話繞圈子”的意思；D. opening Pandora’s box打開災(zāi)禍之門，引來禍患無窮。故選C。

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Nowadays airfare isn't getting any cheaper with fuel costs rising every day. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to find the most affordable fares and also avoid paying as many extra charges as possible when you plan ahead.

Getting the best fare
Fly during the least popular times. Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday are the slowest days to fly, which means cheaper deals than the rest of the week. You can also find reduced rates on early morning flights, since many people don't like to get up before the sun to get to the airport. Earlier boarding times can also considerably cut down your chances of getting delayed because of other delayed flights or mechanical issues.
Choose your seat later. Some airlines charge you to pick your seat when you book online, adding even more to the bottom line of your ticket cost. If you show up early on your travel day, you can still have a chance to get suitable seats that others are not willing to pay extra for ahead of time.
Fly on holidays. You already know that summer is the most expensive time to fly, but the days surrounding holidays can also be crazy. Save big if you're willing to travel on major holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Don't wait until the last-minute to book. Book too early or too late and you could end up paying more than you need to. The best time to book is between three months and six weeks from when you want to travel.
※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※
Avoiding extra fees
Avoid the upgrade(升級). It's not necessary. Sometimes upgrades are free, but mostly you will be charged for seeking a last-minute bump to first class, and the cost can be very high.
Fly carry-on only. Baggage fees vary wildly, but almost all airlines charge them and charge big. It's easy to reduce the amount of stuff if you pack less clothes and only travel-sized toiletries. Planning to do a bit of laundry on your trip will also do.
Pack your own snacks. Unless you're flying internationally, it's rare your flight comes with a free meal. So put some of your own snacks — homemade muffins, fruit and granola bars all make fantastic travel foods — into your bag and eat a lot better, and cheaper, than other passengers.


（1）Which advice can help you get the best fare?
A.Take a flight on Monday or Saturday.
B.Pay the flight fare in advance.
C.Never travel on Christmas Day.
D.Book a ticket two months earlier.
（2）If you arrive early on your flying day, you can probably ______.
A.reduce the chances of delaying
B.avoid getting up early
C.get a discount(折扣) on the flight fare
D.have the seats you want
（3）Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Flying internationally, you may get a free meal.
B.You should always try to avoid upgrading.
C.Planning to do a bit of laundry can help you travel light.
D.Your bill may be larger if you check (托運) your bag.
