The holiday season isn't about shopping and gifts. However, holiday travel can be more expensive than gifts. Fortunately, the following tips will help keep your travel spending under control.
Plan ahead. The earlier you book your travel, from airfare to hotels, the easier it is to find good deals. Your best prices on airfare come when you book three weeks before the plane leaves for domestic(國內(nèi)的) flights. For international flights, consider booking 30 days in advance. Many experts point out that you should book travel between one month and three months out for high-traffic holidays.
Book your air travel on cheaper days. Traveling by air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays often costs less than on Fridays and Sundays. During the holidays, it's not just about a specific day of the week. You also need to consider the days surrounding the holiday but days immediately before and after a holiday can be expensive. One of the best ways to save is to plan your air travel on the day of the holiday.
Consider traveling overnight. Red-eye flights and overnight flights often cost less than those at more convenient times. Traveling overnight can help you avoid a night in the hotel, as well as save your money on travel to your destination.
You can't bring liquids with you on the airline, 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, especially if you have access to(可使用) a microwave.
A. Bring your own food.
B. Consider affordable accommodations.
C. Traveling by plane is not the best choice.
D. Plus, booking earlier can save your money.
E. For instance, traveling on Christmas Day might be a great deal.
F. A great deal of travel also takes place during this time of year.
G. Other choices include sleeper trains as well as overnight ferries.

【答案】F;D;E;G;A
【解析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了一些節(jié)省旅行費用的技巧。

⑴考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)上文“The holiday season isn't about shopping and gifts.”這個假日季不是購物和送禮物的日子;以及下文“However, holiday travel can be more expensive than gifts.”然而,假日旅行比禮物更昂貴?芍狥項“在每年的這個時候也有大量的旅行!焙险Z境。

⑵考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。 根據(jù)上文“The earlier you book your travel, from airfare to hotels, the easier it is to find good deals.”你越早預(yù)訂您的旅行,從機(jī)票到酒店,就越容易找到好的交易;以及下文“Your best prices on airfare come when you book three weeks before the plane leaves for domestic(國內(nèi)的) flights.”國內(nèi)航線的機(jī)票最好的價格來自于飛機(jī)起飛前三個星期前預(yù)定?芍狣項“另外,提前預(yù)定可以節(jié)省你的錢!狈险Z境。

⑶考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。 根據(jù)上文“One of the best ways to save is to plan your air travel on the day of the holiday.”節(jié)約的最好的方法之一就是在假日那一天計劃你的空中旅行。下面是舉例說明?芍狤項“比如,在圣誕節(jié)旅行可能是一個很劃算的交易!狈险Z境,故選E。

⑷考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。 根據(jù)上文“ Consider traveling overnight. Red-eye flights and overnight flights often cost less than those at more convenient times.”長途夜航航班和夜間航班往往比那些在方便時間的航班花費更少;以及下文“Traveling overnight can help you avoid a night in the hotel, as well as save your money on travel to your destination.”旅行過夜可以幫助你避免在酒店過夜,同時也節(jié)約票費。可知G項“其他選擇包括臥鋪列車以及通宵渡輪!狈险Z境,故選G。

⑸考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。A 此處是一個小標(biāo)題。根據(jù)下文“You can't bring liquids with you on the airline, 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。故A項“帶上你自己的食物!狈媳径蝺(nèi)容。

【題目】閱讀理解
When I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh. Whenever I was “bad”, you'd shake your finger at me and ask, “How could you?”--but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratch and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.
My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.
Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. Eventually, you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend.
Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your “family”, but there was a time when I was your only family.
I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said, “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged and gave you a pained look. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And “How could you?” were the only three words that swept over my mind.
Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen (圍欄), I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a bad dream.
My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.
(1)Who tells this story?

C.He thought the dog too troublesome.
D.He was moving into a new building.
(3)Which is true about the dog when it lived at the pound?
A.It hoped to be adopted by another family.
B.It did not trust humans any more.
C.It continued to love its former owner.

(4)What is the theme of the story?

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Our children were upstairs unpacking, and I was looking out of the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him.
He looked up, smiling. “I'm making you a surprise.” I thought it could be just about anything. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us. Today, however, Dad would say no more, and caught up in the busyness of our new life, I eventually forgot about his surprise.
Until one gloomy day the next March when I glanced out of the window, I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番紅花)throughout the front lawn — blue, yellow and my favorite pink, with little faces moving up and down in the cold wind. I remembered the things Dad secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?
My father's crocuses bloomed (開花) each spring for the next five seasons, always bringing the same assurance: Hard times are almost over. Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon.
Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms and the next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses, so I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did. He died suddenly one October day. My family were in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith.
On a spring afternoon four years later, I was driving back when I felt depressed. It was Dad's birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual — my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived up to his faith. Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. There on the muddy grass with small piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.
How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years ago, one that hadn't bloomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.
Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day, but it built my faith for a lifetime.
(1)According to the first three paragraphs, we learn that ________.
A.it kept bothering the author not knowing what the surprise was
B.the author was unpacking when her father was making the surprise
C.it was not the first time that the author's father had made a surprise

(2)Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The author usually felt depressed in the season of winter.
B.The author's father planted the crocuses to lift her low spirits.
C.The author often thought about her father after he died.
D.The crocuses bloomed each spring before her father died.
(3)The author's father should be best described as ______.
A.a part-time worker who loved flowers
B.a kind-hearted man who lived with faith
C.a full-time gardener with skillful hands
D.an ordinary man with doubts in his life
(4)What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Crocuses — My Source of Faith
B.Crocuses— Father's Surprise
C.A Pink Crocus — My Memory
D.Crocuses in Blossom — My Favorite

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they want to get some advantages in social position or fortune(財), nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections(反對), no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接觸) with them. Otherwise, it can be unpleasing and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
(1)The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means ________.
A.make others unhappy
B.have a good taste with social life
C.often blame others openly
D.enjoy the pleasure of life
(2)We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A.we should pity all such unhappy people
B.people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
C.such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
D.unhappy people cannot understand happy persons
(3)If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should ________.
A.show no respect and politeness to them
B.prevent any communication with them
C.persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D.quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
(4)In this passage, the writer mainly ________.
A.describes two types of people
B.laughs at the unhappy people
C.suggests the unhappy people get rid of the habits of unhappiness
D.tells people how to be happy in life

【題目】A recent report suggested that an average person checks his or her cell phone 150 times a day. 1They may not know using their cell phones may put themselves or their loved ones in danger.2At least 200,000 car accidents were caused by texting messages.

3A survey done by the Pew Institute suggested that Americans in the age range of 18 to 29 years old send 88 text messages a day. When you’re walking home from work, you don’t need your head-phones making loud noises in your ears. There is a much greater place to create positive emotions that will make us happier and much more fulfilled. Those emotions are within us, and by blocking these feelings with all of our latest technologies, we may be harming ourselves.4

We need to take back control of our minds and stop compulsively checking our emails, Facebook updates, and text messages. I think we can live a happier life if we pay more attention to ourselves and the people we are speaking with. 5 Think about what parents are doing to children’s emotional well-being when they focus on their cell phones rather than their children.

If you are playing with your children in the park, be totally attentive to what they are doing. If you are in a business meeting and someone is speaking, listen to everything they say.

A. Your cell phone is not part of your body.

B. Human beings are glued to their cell phones.

C. Cell phones have brought great convenience to us.

D. People addicted to cell phones are even not aware of their safety.

E. How many relationships are lost because of a lack of communication?

F. Using cell phones too much may be linked to depressions and anxiety.

G. Statistics show 28 percent of car accidents occur from people using cell phones.

It has been a long time since I did anything good for the environment. Feeling responsible to protect the environment, I decided to take the action again. I told my idea to my friends and we planned to plant tree on the hill in the countryside. We came to the foot of the hill and selected a place where looked suitably and settled down. We spend a few hours digging holes and placing the young seedlings. Then we wrote our wishes on cards one to one and buried it deep down the roots of the trees. We also took a lot of pictures.

【題目】Johannes Gutenberg was chosen to be the most important figure of the past millennium(千年)by the media. You may not be familiar with him.1Gutenberg is praised for having invented the printing press and therefore preparing the way for printing books.

He was born into a wealthy family in the city of Mainz,Germany.In 1428,he moved to Strasbourg and lived there for almost 20 years.2

Gutenberg used his skills in metalwork for the mass production of books.3That means that each copy of the Catholic Bible and all of its 73 books were painstakingly handwritten by penmen.Gutenberg fashioned a font(字體)of over 300 characters,far larger than the fonts of today.To make this possible,he invented the variable-width mold(模具)and perfected the mixture of materials used by type factories up to the present century.

4Between 1450 and 1455,while preparing to produce a large Latin Bible,Gutenberg is thought to have printed a number of smaller books,a calendar,and so on.The Bible of 42 Lines,the oldest surviving printed book in the Western world,was completed by August 15,1456.

The discovery of the modem printing press changed the way information was delivered.5

Even today in the computer age,we rely heavily on the printed word or text for instruction,information,and for the pleasure of reading literature.

A.Gutenberg made the world a much richer place.

B.But he has certainly influenced your life in some ways.

C.Gutenberg's idea was one of the greatest of all mankind.

D.By 1450,Gutenberg was back in Mainz at work on a printing press.

E.This invention was also responsible for educating the masses worldwide.

F.Before the spread of Gutenberg's idea,literature was primarily handwritten.

G.It was in Strasbourg that he probably made his first experiments with moveable type.
