You are if you do this when traveling: You always use a carry-on to avoid the checked-bag fee. You pack a lunch from home so you dont pay for airline meals. True “cheapskates” also fly on the three cheapest days of the week (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays). For U. S. domestic travel, everyone wants to fly Fridays and Sundays and those are usually the most expensive days to fly. The fares for Los Angeles-to-New York flights in September: Friday & Sunday: $ 365 Tuesday & Wednesday: $ 288 The fares for Houston-to-New York flights in September: Friday & Sunday: $ 302 Tuesday & Wednesday: $ 226 For transatlantic flights, the difference can be more startling and the rules a little looser. Boston-to-Dublin fares from United Airlines: Friday & Sunday: $ 581 Tuesday & Wednesday: $ 457 The fares for Washington-to-London flights in a week: Friday & Sunday: $ 896 Tuesday & Wednesday: $ 732 Its time for some Saturday fares now. This example features Chicago-to-Atlanta routes. Friday & Sunday: $ 207 Saturday: $ 89 There were cheaper fares for this trip,but only if the Sunday flight departed at 5 am or earlier. Is the rule on the “cheapest three days to fly” etched in stone? No. It is usually true but not always. So you should be flexible. After all it can save much money. And isnt that what being a “cheapskate” is all about?21.According to Para. 1, what does a true “cheapskate” really do?A.Choose a luxury hotel to live in.B.Save money in every way during the trip.C.Fly on Fridays when traveling.D.Have their lunch on the plane.22.How much should you pay for a flight to New York from Houston on Tuesday?A.$ 226.B.$ 288.C.$ 302.D.$ 365.23.What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A.To recommend some cheap trips.B.To call on us to fly on Sundays.C.To introduce another topic.D.To explain a special case.B54-year-old Abdul has a special job. He has been working as a living statue (活体雕像) for over three decades, standing perfectly still for six hours a day and resisting peoples attempts to make him move or smile, anything that proves he is a living person.Abdul, known as “Indias Statue Man”, has been performing his daily routine ever since 1985, soon after getting a job as a security guard. His boss had recently traveled to the UK, where he was so impressed by the statue-like members of the Royal Guard outside Buckingham Palace that he wanted to do something similar back home. So he had his guards receive three months of training, where they would sit perfectly still for around four hours. They werent allowed to talk or smile, eat, drink, or even shoo away a fly if it sat on their faces. In the end, Abdul proved the best of the group, so he got the strange job.Abdul isnt the only person in the world acting as a living statue, but what makes him special is the fact that he can do it for as long as six hours without even blinking his eyes. Once, a $ 155 prize was put up for anyone who can make him move a muscle. But try as they might, no one has ever succeeded. Actually, Abdul tries to move about as much as he can in his spare time, and only eats healthy home-cooked food, to keep his body in shape. But he claims yoga has been the biggest help. In the 32 years, Abdul has become a celebrity in India and other Asian countries. Many Bollywood celebrities have come to witness this living statue and try to finally make him move, but none have succeeded.Abdul earns about 10,000 rupees ($ 156) a month, which is enough to support his family, but definitely not enough to encourage his children to follow in his footsteps. Its just too stressful and taxing on the body. “Despite all the hardship and health problems, I love my job and I am thankful to people for the love and respect they have showered on me, , , he says. “When the time comes, I want to die playing a statue. ”24.What is Abduls daily routine?A.Performing as a living statue.B.Proving to be a living person.C.Smiling at his customers.D.Keeping his body in shape.25.Why could Abdul get the strange job given by his boss?A.He had his special ambition.B.He was most familiar with the job.C.He stood out among the group.D.He knew the boss more than others.26.What does Abdul do in his spare time?A.He eats a lot of snacks.B.He practices yoga for 12 hours a day.C.He cooks for his family.D.He always moves a lot.27.How does Abdul feel about his job according to the text?A.Its overpaid.B.Its satisfying.C.Its boring.D.Its instructive.CPeople usually visit cafes to ease themselves of their tiredness and keep themselves from falling asleep, but Mr. Healing, a popular cafe chain in South Korea actually does the opposite. Customers can come in, order a drink, lie down a comfortable massage chair, and take a nap.Many Koreans suffer from a lack of sleep as a result of overworking, so any opportunity to relax and even take a nap is greatly appreciated. Mr. Healing is the perfect place to go when youre on a short work or school break and you need to catch up on sleep. The cafe offers massage periods in various modes, depending on how much time you have and how you choose to spend it.The 20-minute session is priced at $ 3.5, the 30-minute massage costs $ 7, and the 50-minute session is $ 9, all of which also include a drink. Once you make your choice, you are taken to the “healing center”. You are asked to take off your shoes as well as any jewelry that might damage the chairs, after which you can choose a massage mode, from “stretch” or “sleep”.You can start with stretch for a few minutes, and then switch to sleep if you want to take a short nap. After it comes to an end, you are taken back to the cafe area to enjoy a coffee or one of the many other refreshing drinks on the menu.Mr. Healing cafes are so popular in Korea that customers are advised to make reservations in advance to be sure that a massage chair is available. “I have to sit on a chair and stare at a computer monitor all day due to my job, the healing room was truly effective to relieve tiredness and stress from weekdays,” said Park Hye-sun, a 24-year-old officer.Some have described Mr. Healing and other similar relaxation cafes in South Korea as simple fashions, but others see them as a sustainable business model, because they offer a service that Koreans really need.28.Why do customers come to Mr. Healing?A.To drink specialty coffee.B.To have themselves checked.C.To have a relaxation.D.To sleep before work.29.What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A.The price of the service.B.The process of the service.C.The tips for customers.D.The choices for customers.30.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Your choice.B.A sound sleep.C.The coffee.D.The massage.31.What is Parks attitude towards Mr. Healing?A.Positive.B.Critical.C.Neutral.D.Negative.DA cheetah (猎豹) can run 70 miles per hour. Blobfish (水滴鱼) dont have any bones. These are facts Ive learned from my 5-year-old son after he watched some networks, shows. He is greatly interested in scientific facts, so I was surprised the other day when I mentioned climate change.After a few more questions, I discovered that hes never heard any of his favorite science shows mention climate change. It is strange, because climate change is one of the most important environmental issues of our time. My son can tell you everything you ever wanted to know about red pandas, except for the fact that their existence is being threatened by the changing climate.I reached out to PBS Kids, Nickelodeon, and Disney Junior to see if there was any truth to his claim. I was told that except an episode (一段情节) of Disney Juniors Doc McStuffins called The Big Storm, none of the three networks shows has ever discussed the causes of climate change on our planet. Maybe youre wondering if the reason is that kids science shows dont ever tackle troubling environmental issues.Why arent these networks introducing kids to such an important issue? According to Maria, spokeswoman for PBS Kids, its because the network feels that focusing on foundational science concepts is the most age-appropriate way to serve our audience. I dont know about you, but Id rather my kid learn a little about the melting polar ice caps than other things.And kids can handle climate change. Even young children are able to understand the basic idea. More importantly, theyre able to begin taking action to slow down global warming. My guess is that the networks are afraid that promoting the science on a politically controversial (争议性的) issue will lead them to lose viewers or advertisers. But if thats true, and theyre choosing their bottom line over the education of Americas children, thats a real shame. Kids need to learn about the issue that threatens their planet if theyre ever going to feel inspired to save it.32.Why did the author feel surprised at her son?A.He has known many scientific facts.B.He has watched a lot of networks shows.C.He didnt care about global warming.D.He knew nothing about climate change.33.The author watched the three networks shows in order to_.A.get to know her sons preferenceB.find the reason of her sons ignoranceC.find the causes of climate changeD.help her son know environmental issues34.What does the author think his son should do?A.Learn something about environmental issues.B.Help to slow down global warming.C.Discuss important issues with others.D.Learn to handle climate change.35.What is the purpose of the authors writing this text?A.To advice kids not to watch networks shows.B.To introduce some politically controversial issues.C.To express his attitude towards some networks.D.To call on all Americans to care about kids education.第二小节、七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Bottle Cap Alley is a special roadside attraction located at the north edge of the Texas A&M University campus in College Station, Texas. 36No one knows exactly how the tradition began, but some people believe that it started out as a dumping site (垃圾场) for two bars. 37Besides, as word of the Bottle Cap Alley spread, other local bars started bringing in their bottle caps here as well. It is estimated that the tradition dates from four decades ago.38They set up a large sign over it, added lights so it could be visited at night and began promoting it as a part of the local sightseeing tour. The move didnt sit well with many college students who wanted to make the tradition survive forever, but it did turn the alley into a popular roadside tourist attraction.Some people noticed that most of the beer bottle caps all came from American brands, and made it a point to add a variety of caps from imported beers as well, turning the place into an international bottle cap gallery.39It is a gold mine for people who collect bottle caps, and it has been reported that some collectors travel to College Station from far away for the specific purpose of finding rare caps for their collections.40However, considering that average visitors often take a few as souvenirs, its easy to see why constant bottle cap contributions are vital to the preservation of the alley.A. Its easy for visitors to have their feet injured.B. It was recognized as a local attraction in the 2000s.C. Taking one or two caps may not seem like a big deal.D.
