【題目】閱讀理解
With fuel costs rising and airlines finding more fees to impose （強(qiáng)加，征稅）on travelers every day, airfare isn’t getting any cheaper. Since you can’t drive to all your dream destinations, flying is the only way to go sometimes and, undeniably, the fastest. 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.
Get the best fare. Airlines put out their fare sales on Tuesday morning, making this day the best day to book a flight for less.
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 bumped on an overbooked flight or 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 get suitable seats. Some of the best seats get held back until flight day, unless others are willing to pay extra for them ahead of time, so you still have the chance at one of those.
Fly on holidays. You already know that summer is the most expensive time to fly, and even though most other times are more affordable, the days surrounding holidays can 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. Many travelers don’t know that there’s a sweet spot for booking and getting the best price on your tickets. 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.
（1）The passage is intended to _______.
A.inform us how to book a cheaper ticket
B.tell us how to choose the seat and time for a flight
C.persuade us into travelling by air
D.inform us of some best ways to save money on a flight
（2）Which of the following statements is not true?
A.Airline travelers are supposed to pay more for the rising fuel costs
B.Early morning flight will help avoid some bumps and delays.
C.You can only book your seat online before or on your flight day.
D.Booking too early may cost you more money on your tickets.
（3）Which is the best time to book the flight for October 2nd?
A.May 15th
B.August 15th
C.June 15th
D.September 15th

【答案】
（1）D
（2）C
（3）B
【解析】本文介紹幾種買到便宜機(jī)票的方法。
（1）細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段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.可知本文是給我們介紹一些好的方法來買省錢的機(jī)票，故選D。
（2）推理判斷。本題C選項(xiàng)You can only book your seat online before or on your flight day.你只能在網(wǎng)上預(yù)訂你的座位，這種說法從常識(shí)的角度來說就是錯(cuò)誤的，你還可以直接去機(jī)場購買機(jī)票，選座位，文中If you show up early on your travel day, you can still get suitable seats.也說明了可以在機(jī)場選到合適的座位，只要你早點(diǎn)到。故C項(xiàng)說法不對，符合題意。
（3）推理判斷。根據(jù)文章最后一句話The best time to book is between three months and six weeks from when you want to travel.訂票最好的時(shí)間是距飛行日三個(gè)月到六個(gè)星期之間，題意中10月2日的飛行日，故訂票最佳時(shí)間符合這個(gè)區(qū)間的是選項(xiàng)B。

【題目】For students at the Farm School in Hamilton, Virginia, the classroom is outside every day. Jaclyn Jenkins is the founder of the school. “The No. 1 question we get immediately from parents is ‘What happens if it rains?’ And we say, ‘Bring an extra set of clothes!’” Jenkins adds, “We still educate them. Their brains are working when they’re moving. So, our goal is to always be outside.” The Farm School is a preschool, a place for 3- and 4-year-olds to learn and play.

Alison Huff has taught at other schools. She says the Farm School gives its students more of a hands-on learning experience. For example, children use pumpkins to learn about colors and counting. They learn about measurement by planting seeds 30 centimeters apart. Huff adds, “We can use everything a regular preschool uses, but out in the garden.” In addition to planting vegetables and fruits, children help prepare food and clean up afterwards. The school teaches the children to cook using the food they have grown. “They can see the benefits of what they have in the garden and taste it then instead of going to the grocery store and buying it,” says Huff.

The preschoolers also learn words in languages other than English. Huff speaks in both English and Spanish. Her assistant speaks French and Arabic. A 3-year-old in her class speaks four different languages.

Farm animals are also an important part of the education program. Jenkins says the children learn about a different animal every month. Two months ago, she says, that animal was a cow. “We do actually have a cow that we bring to the school. They get to see what the cow is like, an learn what cows eat. They use little gloves and pretend to actually milk a cow. They make butter and yogurt.” The children spent another month with a large bird — a turkey.

The idea for a school like this started after Jenkins and her husband bought a farm in Hamilton, with a late 18th-century house. They called it “One Day Farm” because years earlier they had hoped that “one day” they would have a farm. “That’s when it started, the spark of a farm school,” said Jenkins.

【1】【1】What is the biggest difference between the farm school and others?

A. There are many plants and animals at this school.

B. This school is mainly for students to learn fanning.

C. Almost all the activities lake place outside at this school.

D. This school is quite popular among parents and children.

【2】【2】What don’t the children do at this school?

A. Raise turkeys and cows. B. Plant vegetables and fruits.

C. Prepare food and clean up. D. Recognize colors and count.

【3】【3】How is Paragraph 4 developed in the text?

A. By listing. B. By comparison.

C. By logic. D. By example.

【4】【4】What made Jenkins found this school?

A. Parents’ preference for a farm. B. Her desire to own a farm.

C. A request from the government. D. Children’s love of playing outside.

Dear editor,

I’m a student of Senior One, come from Xinhua Middle School. I don’t think my parents should buy me computer now. those which have computers in my class are spending too many time on computer games. Playing computer games has badly effect on their studies. On my opinion there are many other ways to have fun besides playing computer games. Although we don’t put our hearts into our work, we might fail in the entrance examinations. In addition, if you get a computer and don’t make full use of them, but it’s just a waste of money. So I insisted that they not buy me a computer now. Don’t you agree?

【題目】If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech "Information Age" demands people who are flexible (靈活) and who have good communication skills.

There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature (特點(diǎn)) of the kind of high-speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.

Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as "very important" by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.

Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don't regret their choice of study.

【1】【1】By saying that "you may have had the last laugh" in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have ________.

A. shared the jokes with computer majors

B. earned as much as computer majors

C. found jobs more easily than computer majors

D. stopped joking about computer majors

【2】【2】Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates ________.

A. are ready to change when situations change

B. are better able to deal with difficulties

C. are equally good at computer skills

D. are likely to give others pressure

【3】【3】The underlined word "land" in the last paragraph probably means “________”.

A. keep for some time

B. successfully get

C. immediately start

D. lose regretfully

【4】【4】According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs?

A. Willingness to take low-paid jobs.

B. Readiness to gain high-tech knowledge.

C. Skills in expressing themselves.

D. Part-time work experience.

【題目】When I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I never felt bored. The fields, hills and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground whose adventures were only limited by my imagination. I can remeber once hiking to nearby lake and walking slowly around it. At the back of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tyre tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.

I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ears “turn around and head back home”, but I was stubborn and walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go and down I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.

I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tear s when I saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away, but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. Then I ended my adventure with a good night’s sleep.

I often thought of that experience recently. Actually, in our life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. They can lead us to hey can lead us to our homes in our hearts. May you always walk your path with love! May you always help you r fellow travelers along the way! And may your roads always lead you home again!

C. He could have fun in nature.

D. He used to explore the old dirt road

A. Doubt. B. Fear.

A. He was contradictory in mind.

B. He was unconscious of danger ahead.

C. He was worried to be trapped in the woods.

D. He was afraid of being scolded by his parents.
