Unit 5 Travelling abroad 阅读提速练 阅读理解 A While money can’t technically buy happiness，it can buy you a moodlifting, outlookimproving vacation.Haven’t made plans yet to skip town this winter? These moneysaving travel tips can help you book the destination of your choice and enjoy your time there—without breaking the bank.‎ FLY THE COOP FAST If you’re planning to set off for an adventure right away, try the GTFO (Get The Flight Out) app.It lists the cheapest roundtrip flights departing from your local airport that day or by the next morning. At press time，airfare was down 12 percent from last August and roundtrip tickets for domestic flights averaged $ 218.‎ SNAG A DISCOUNTER HOTEL ROOM If Airbnb isn’t your style, reserve markeddown accommodations on Tingo.com, which lists almost all the rooms in more than 155，000 locations worldwide.After you book a Price Drop room，the site monitors rates until，typically，24 to 48 hours before checkin.If the price drops，Tingo refunds you the difference.‎ LIVE IT UP LOCALLY If you’re planning a staycation(宅度假) this winter，try an affordable escape close to home.The free app HotelTonight offers lodging(旅馆) deals in more than 100 U．S.and Canadian cities and regions, and has a locationbased feature that gives extra savings on already discounted prices on spots closest to you.Sameday prices fall even lower after 6 p．m.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文给出了三种旅游的小建议，既可以让你玩得开心，又可以让你省钱。‎ ‎1．The GTFO app is most useful to those who________．‎ A．take a regular business trip B．seek a lastminute travel C．can’t afford a comfortable travel D．plan a shortdistance flight B　解析：细节理解题。根据FLY THE COOP FAST部分第一句可知，the GTFO app可以提供给你说走就走的旅行，也就是最后一分钟作出决定的旅行。故选B项。‎ ‎2．The underlined word“markeddown”in Paragraph 3 means “________”．‎ A．highlighted　　　　　　　 B．written C．discounted D．scored C　解析：词义猜测题。根据下一句中的a Price Drop room可知，在Tingo.com上可以预订打折的住宿。由此可猜测，markeddown的意思是“打折的；减价的”，与discounted意思相近。故选C项。‎ ‎3．What can we infer about the app HotelTonight?‎ 10‎ A．Only the U．S.natives can use it.‎ B．Its deals include the whole America.‎ C．Prices stay the same within a day.‎ D．Its services vary from place to place.‎ D　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句可知，该应用会提供具有当地特色的服务。故选D项。‎ B Since 1985, Johnny Jennings, 86, has been selling newspapers and magazines to a recycling center with his son. By the time Jennings’ only child was 17, he stopped joining his father. Even though his son is all grown up now, Jennings hasn’t slowed down his efforts. In fact, he has turned his recycling money into something bigger.‎ The Ringgold, Georgia native visits local churches and businesses to collect paper, which he brings to a recycling center for money. But instead of putting those earnings in his own bank account, he sends every dollar to Georgia Baptist Children’s Homes & Family Ministries. Once a year, he’ll give the organization a check somewhere between D|S 10，000 and D|S 35，000. By 2016, that tallied up to D|S 400，000.‎ These days, Jennings’ recycling has turned into a community effort. After he has made his own rounds recycling paper from businesses and churches, he’ll find more items waiting for him at home. Community members drop off other recyclables at his house so he can sell them, along with books, food, clothes, and other items to give away.‎ Recycling centers typically pay just one－half to three cents per pound of paper, but Jennings’ visits have added up the big time. In 2016 alone, he sold more than 400，000 pounds of paper and 51，000 aluminum cans(铝罐)，and collected more than 32，000 pennies. Over the course of 32 years he has recycled more than 9.8 million pounds of paper, saving an estimated 79，000 trees in the process.‎ Jennings says he’ll continue raising money for charity as long as his health allows.‎ ‎【解题导语】　文章讲述了乐于助人的Johnny Jennings常年回收废旧物品资助慈善机构的故事。‎ ‎4．How old was Johnny Jennings when he started recycling?‎ A．17. B．32.‎ C．54. D．86.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Since 1985...with his son.”和第四段中的“Over the course of 32 years he has recycled”可知，Johnny Jennings开始回收废旧物品时应该是54岁。‎ ‎5．The underlined word “tallied” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．‎ A．added B．looked C．made D．mixed A　解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Once a year...between D|S 10，000 and D|S 35，000...up to D|S 400，000.”中的数据可知，tallied的词义为：计算总数。所以A项正确。‎ ‎6．What is community members’ attitude towards Johnny Jennings?‎ 10‎ A．Unclear. B．Doubtful.‎ C．Tolerant. D．Supportive.‎ D　解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Community members drop off...to give away.”可知，Johnny Jennings所在社区的成员们支持他回收废旧物品资助慈善机构的工作。‎ C A principal in Manhattan informed parents that there would be no more homework for the public school’s students. And then came the arguments—not from teachers, but from parents. Some said they would transfer their children to another school. Some said they were finding online sources of homework for their children. They were not convinced of the explanation from Principal Jane Hsu about the negative effects of homework on young children, including lack of time for other activities and family time, and loss of interest in learning. Hsu suggested children should spend their time on activities that had been found to be good for their academic, social and emotional development.‎ As a supporter of Hsu’s approach, I wonder how many of the parental arguments occur not because of what children will miss out on, but because parents themselves no longer feel confident about their ability to help their children develop without highly structured activities to guide them.‎ I’m reminded of a meeting at the school my younger daughter was about to start when she was 6. The head of the school met with parents to say that she was also considering doing away with homework. One mom objected because homework was her “special time” each day with her child when they could sit down together to go through the work. The head of the school appeared surprised at this. She gently suggested that the mother should read to her child, or that they should cook dinner together.‎ It’s been sad already to see that kids, between their structured soccer practices and their homework, have very little time to play. But it’s even sadder to see the parental nervousness about what might happen to a thirdgrader who has more time to create, think, read，interact with others, or imagine. What might happen, I believe, must be more happiness, more energy and better physical fitness.‎ ‎【解题导语】　曼哈顿的一位校长通知家长她的学校将不再给学生布置家庭作业，此举在家长中引发了激烈的讨论。作者本人对这位校长的方法表示支持，并持乐观的态度。‎ ‎7．From the passage, we know________．‎ A．teachers are strongly opposed to giving no homework to their students B．the idea of no homework has led to a heated debate C．children greatly benefit from the idea of no homework D．other activities have taken the place of the homework ‎ B　解析：细节理解题。由第一段中的“And then came the arguments—not from teachers, but from parents.”可知，不再布置家庭作业的做法在家长中引起了激烈的讨论，故选B项。‎ ‎8．Why did one mom object to the idea of no homework for kids?‎ A．Her child might lose interest in learning.‎ B．Her child might have less time to think.‎ C．She enjoyed the time doing homework with her child.‎ D．Homework is good for children’s academic development.‎ 10‎ C　解析：细节理解题。由第三段中的“One mom objected...go through the work.”可知，与孩子一块儿做作业对这位母亲来说是件让她高兴的事，所以她反对取消家庭作业这一想法，故选C。‎ ‎9．What is the author’s attitude towards Principal Jane Hsu’s suggestion?‎ A．Indifferent.

But is it better to do your running outdoors in the wind and rain, ‎ 10‎ or to go down to your local gym and work up a sweat on the treadmill(跑步机)?‎ Firstly, which of these approaches is likely to get you fitter? Those who are enthusiastic about running outdoors claim it uses up more energy. The main reason is wind resistance, which you don’t get a lot when you are a gym rat.‎ When it comes to work rate, which approach is safer? In the gym, of course, you are unlikely to be hit by falling branches or trip over a stone. But when it comes to injuries, there is a danger which is more common among treadmill runners. When you are on a treadmill, you are doing the same thing over and over again. For every mile you run, your foot will hit the ground about 1，000 times. Repeating the same movement puts you at greater risk of damage.‎ If you run outside, particularly if you go offroad, there is going to be more variety. Each step will be different from the one that went before, simply because you are running on an uneven and varied surface. Research suggests that this constant challenge not only strengthens muscles, but also improves your sense of balance.‎ It seems obvious that running in the great outdoors puts you closer to nature and has turned to be better than running in a small space. Exercising in natural environments, particularly in green spaces, was associated with greater feelings and increased energy. People who exercised outdoors claimed to enjoy it more, found it more satisfying and said they were more likely to do it again.‎ For me outdoor running has clear advantages. It’s far more varied. But the best advice, especially if you’re starting out, is to pick the kind of running that you enjoy and which you’re likely to stick to.‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎________________________________________________________________________‎ One possible version：‎ Is it better to run outside or on a treadmill? Actually outdoor running has some clear advantages. First, running outdoors gets you fitter. Second, running outdoors is safer.Third, running outside strengthens your muscles and improves your sense of balance.Finally, running outside makes you feel greater and more energetic.The best advice is to stick to your favourite kind of running.‎ 10‎
