阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
If you’ll be taking vacation time in the coming year and plan on flying, here are some shopping tips for you. Those who fly first class and don’t care what airline tickets cost are excused from this lesson.
★When to buy If you are shopping for domestic （国内的） flights, check prices on Tuesday afternoons. This is an old tip but still useful because most US carriers continue to release sales on Tuesday morning, and competitors quickly drop their fares to match the better deals. ★ When to fly
Weekdays continue to be generally cheaper times to fly than weekends for most flights. In the US, the cheapest days are typically Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. A good itinerary （行程表）for the expensive US spring break travel period is Tuesday to Saturday; it will save you money over weekend-to-weekend travel.
★Where to fly We continue to see good deals to Boston and Denver and more and more nice prices to Chicago, Seattle and Washington, D.C. As for Europe, there have been surprising deals throughout the fall and those will continue into the winter.
★Direct vs. connecting flights Compare the price of direct with connecting flights. Sometimes adding a stop to your route will save you money. An example：an Francisco to Raleigh/Durham：$553 direct, $362 one-stop.
Y ou’d better think twice about the direct flight for San Francisco to Raleigh. ★Compare, compare, compare Stifle the impulse to go to your favorite airline site to purchase tickets without doing any comparison. Example：Let’s say you want to fly from New Y ork
to London and figure your favorite US legacy carrier will get you there for the best price. Airline price：$554 round-trip.
However, the comparison site also showed a cheaper flight from the same legacy carrier （$521）. See what you’re missing when you fail to compare？
21. When can you possibly find the best price for flights within the US？
A. On Monday morning.
B. On Tuesday morning.
C. On Tuesday afternoon.
D. On Sunday morning.
22. What does t he underlined phrase “stifle the impulse” in the last but one paragraph mean？
A. Feel free to do something.
B. Hold off on doing something.
C. Get well prepared for something.
D. Make quick decision on something.
23. Who is the text intended for？
A. Those who usually choose first class for their flights.
B. Those who want to find suggestions on where to fly.
C. Those who are traveling during the spring break.
D. Those who are looking for the best airline ticket prices.
B
In high school I was very shy, content to hang around with my small group of friends and to concentrate on my courses. I was quickly labeled a "brain." I did so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect grades and enough college credits to give up an entire quarter of coursework.
But in early June of senior year, the principal called me into his office. He asked
me to give a speech at graduation. I was surprised to look at him, my heart beating. This was the reward for my hard work？ I murmured something and ran away from the office, blaming myself for staying away from physics, a subject sure to have broken up my perfect record.
I finally agreed to a compromise （妥协）. I would share the honor with five other students. I agreed to introduce my friend Judy, who would then give her own, full-length speech.
Graduation day soon arrived, I’d been practicing my speech for days, and I had it memorized. The first half hour of the ceremony passed in a blur, and then my moment came. My name was announced. I managed to reach the stage without falling down. I faced my classmates. My voice trembled （颤抖） a little, but mostly it was clear and strong. But within seconds, I was done and heading back to my seat. I made it —I spoke in front of hundreds of people. That’s something I’d never dreamed of.
Although I didn’t realize it at the time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the confidence to take part in class at college, to give oral reports, and to finally break free of my shyness. I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation — or ever. But I’m glad I did. I no longer hesitate when I’m faced with the prospect of doing something I feared. I know it may very well turn out to be one of my shining moments.
24. Why was the writer called a "brain"？
A. She was a most outstanding student.
B. She was the head of her small group.
C. She was a bookworm all the time.
D. She did more coursework for good grades.
25. What can we learn from the second paragraph？
A. She ruined her health by studying hard.
B. She got the reward as was expected.
C. She was grateful for giving a speech.
D. She wasn't good at physics at school.
26. How did the author feel at the beginning of the graduation speech？
A. Excited.
B. Scared.
C. Moved
D. Embarrassed
27. What did the speech bring to the author at last？
A. She had nothing to fear in life.
B. She won enough college credits.
C. She got rid of her sense of shyness.
D. She desired to become a speaker.
C
FRIDAY was my husband’s birthday, but we spent most of it in the car. We were driving to Phoenix to celebrate his birthday and see the Warriors play the Suns.
My husband is a lucky man. Not only has he lived to see another birthday, but he’s married to a woman who likes basketball and doesn’t mind driving 300 miles （480km）to see a game.
In the car, his cell phone kept ringing with birthday greetings from family and
friends. He put them all on speakerphone so I could listen in, even though it wasn’t my birthday.
The western sky colored up slowly, painting feather-like clouds in the singular shades of neon pinks and purples an d grays that I’ve come to love in sunsets.
Soon, the rough road got rougher. My bad knee kept begging for a break, and dinner was still miles away. Meanwhile, on the CD player, the Reverend Al Green began to sing Love and Happiness. A little good music makes a bad road better.
An hour later, we checked into the hotel, got dinner and sat on a rooftop feeling glad to be alive.
We had a great weekend – we ate too much, slept too little and the Warriors, well, they lost. But still, it was all worth the drive.
Isn’t it always？
On the way home, I started thinking about birthdays. In our family, we celebrate four in January, four in February, and all the others throughout the year. Mine is next week.
If I’m lucky, like my husband, I’ll get cards and calls and maybe a few videos.
I don’t need presents any more. When you’ve seen as many birthdays as I’ve seen, the only gift you truly want is getting to see one more.
Birthdays are the mile markers on the road of life. They tell us how far we’ve come, but not how far we’ve yet to go. Life is a journey more than a destination. What matters is whom we choose as traveling companions, and how often we get to sit back and enjoy the ride.
28. Which of the following help the couple go through the long, difficult drive to
Phoenix？
a. The rare basketball tickets.
b. The music played on their CD player.
c. The great views along the way.
d. The birthday greetings from family and friends.
e. The many breaks they took during the journey.
A. abc
B. bcd
C. bce
D. cde
29. What kind of birthday gift does the author really want？
A. Calls and cards from friends.
B. Videos from friends and family.
C. Watching a live NBA game.
D. Being able to live another year.
30. What does the author learn from the journey to Phoenix？
A. A meaningful life is like a journey with a clear destination.
B. Taking a long drive is a great way to celebrate a birthday.
C. People should learn to appreciate life together with their beloved ones.
D. P eople shouldn’t rest on what they have but try to make new achievements.
31. What is the best title for the text？
A.A birthday journey
B. My lucky husband
C. Driving to see the Warriors play the Suns
D. Mile markers on the road of life
D
Spend any time in London, England’s capital, and you’ll quickly gather that
it’s a multicultural community. Look around at your fellow passengers on the underground or the bus. They’re of every skin color and dress differently to one another. Listen, and you’ll hear many other languages bes ides English spoken. Some of these people will be tourists who are in London to see the sights. But others – in fact probably most – will be living their lives there, along with millions of others.
Along with white British people, there are Britons from, or with parents and grandparents from, the Caribbean, India, China and most other places. This makes London a wonderful place in which to live. The reason is that when people settle in a place, they don’t just buy a house and live there, but bring aspects o f the culture of their “old country” with them.
A number of restaurants offering dishes from different parts of the world can be seen in London. You would come across French, Italian, Chinese, Indian eateries and even Polish restaurants in London .
However, London’s multiculturalism isn’t just about food. Many types of people are gathered in one space, but the way they live differently shows in that space. They have different religious beliefs. Alongside one of the most famous old English churches, St Paul’s Cathedral, you’ll find mosques （清真寺）, temples and synagogues （犹太教堂）.
London even speaks its own special kind of English. Language experts created the term “Multicultural London English” to identify the dialect of English that appeared at the end of the last century.
All of this makes London a very surprising and varied place to call your home.
But, in a way, this has long been true. In the 18th century, the compiler （编纂者）of the first English dictionary, Samuel Johnson, once said：“He who is tired of Londo n is tired of life.”
32. What is the purpose of the author by describing the situation on the underground and bus？
A. To show that London is a multicultural city.
B. To explain why London appeals to tourists.
C. To prove that London is a great place to live in.
D. To inform us of how the population of Britain is made up.
33. What happen to the people settling in London from other places？
A. They are forced to give up their native language.
B. They find it easy to buy a house in the city.
C. They introduce cultural practices from their original country.
D. They make up the majority of the population in the city.
34. Which of the following could be used as proof of London’s multiculturalism？
A. The city is home to the famous building St Paul’s Cathedral.
B. The city has become a favorite destination for tourists abroad.
C. There are a variety of French restaurants in the city.
D. A new London dialect has appeared in recent years.
35. Why is Samuel Johnson mentioned in the last paragraph？
A. To show what London was like in the 18th century.
B. To prove the cultural diversity of London from a historical aspect.
C. To inform the readers what to expect in London.
D. To introduce the first English dictionary he compiled.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
选项。
Thanks to Earth, we have fresh air to breathe, clean water to drink and warm sunshine to enjoy. But it seems that we may have taken these things for granted and not realized that our planet is getting “sick”. 36 More than 15,000 scientists around the world have written a letter to warn about environmental challenges.
Among those environmental challenges, climate change sits at the top. Global average temperatures have risen by more than 0.5℃ since 1992. 37 It means that heat waves would last around a third longer and rainstorms would be about a third more violent if we take no action. The increase in sea levels would also be much higher. Countries like Singapore and Tokyo that are at low altitudes （海拔）may be covered by the ocean in the future.
38 It’s getting harder to get fresh water. Ocean pollution has become serious. Since 1992, the human population has grown by 2 billion, while the populations of all other animals have dropped by nearly 30 percent.
Scientists say that we are experiencing the sixth mass extinction （物种大灭绝） in history. More than two-thirds of the world’s wildlife could be gone by the end of the decade if action isn’t taken soon. 39
However, we have made some progress by making the hole in the ozone （臭氧）layer smaller. That’s because we gradually stopped using chemicals that can break down ozone, a gas that protects Earth.
40
A. A half-degree temperature rise is a big deal.
B. But this is not the only problem people are facing.
C. In fact, scientists have recently given us a warning.
D. Scientists also point out that global warming will continue for centuries.
E. All the countries in the world should take action on behalf of future generations.
F. The Amur leopard and cross river gorilla are some of the most endangered animals.
G. This progress shows that we can make positive changes when we act, the letter says.

However, winter wasn’t far away at the time. The couple was a little bit worrying about how they would keep the house warm, because it didn’t have any fireplaces.
