The app searches for the most affordable and best options via its travel partners. Like Google Flights, you can see the cheapest dates to fly through a month-view calendar, and you can also get alarms when prices change. If you’re not sure where exactly you want to go, Skyscanner offers a category that lets you explore “Top Deals” from your nearest airport, as well as a suggested list of destinations at affordable prices.‎ Download now for: IOS, Android Hopper If you’re really looking to get the cheapest possible price for a plane ticket, you need to download Hopper. Like Skyscanner, you can look at the cheapest dates to fly via a month-view calendar, but Hopper prides itself on telling you when to buy your tickets via pushing notifications (通知). The company claims it can save you up to 40 percent on your next flight and that’s all done by analyzing and tracking billions of flights. The user interface (界面) is simple, and Hopper says you can book a flight in 60 seconds or less.‎ Download now for, iOS. Android Airbnb Whether legal in the city you’re visiting or not, Airbnb is a household name. The app undercuts（压低…的价格） hotels by offering far cheaper prices and a more authentic experience by staying with a local, or in his home. The app recently added a new feature called Trips, which offers experiences to choose from during your stay — these are suggested events you can take part in with local guides. Eventually,‎ ‎ the app will become an all-in-one travel app that lets you plan your day, book a car and more.‎ Download now for: iOS, Android ‎21.

A smart phone store.‎ B When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.‎ My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan.”‎ And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me check already two week late.”‎ And then, in perfect English I said: “I’m getting rather concerned. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”‎ Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”‎ The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.W_w w.k*s*5 u.c@o m When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.‎ ‎24.Why was the author’s mother poorly served?‎ ‎ ‎ A. She was often misunderstood. B. She was unable to speak good English. ‎ C. She was not clearly heard. D. She was not very polite.W_w w.k*s*5 u.c@o m ‎25. From Paragraph 2, we know that the author was .‎ A. good at pretending B. rude to the stockbroker C. unwilling to phone for her mother D. ready to help her mother ‎ ‎26. After the author made the phone call, .‎ A. they forgave the stockbroker B. they went to New York immediately C. they failed to get the check D. they spoke to their boss at once ‎27. What does the author think of her mother’s English now?W_w w.k*s*5 u.c@o m A. It confuses her. B. It embarrasses her.‎ C. It helps her tolerate rude people. D. It helps her understand the world.‎ C Many Android and iPhone owners use Google services on their mobile phones or tablets. One of the most widely used location services is Google Maps. When someone uses Google Maps, information about times and locations is recorded and stored.‎ Google also uses tracking tools with other services. Weather apps, for example, are designed to identify a user’s location to provide local weather information.‎ ‎ Even some Google Internet searches can result in the collection of information about exactly where a person was when the search was made.‎ Google says it collects the data to improve users’ localized experiences. But such practices have also raised privacy concerns. Privacy activists have called on Google and other major technology companies to make it easier for users to turn off location services if they do not want to be tracked. In some ways, Google is clear about asking permission to use location information. For instance, Google Maps will seek approval from a user to give the app access to locations. If a user agrees to let Google collect location information over time, Google Maps will show this history in a “timeline” that shows the person’s daily movements.‎ Google also has a “Location History” setting. The company says any user can turn off Location History at any time. And when Location History is turned off for a user’s account, it is turned off for all equipment linked to that Google account. But the AP (Associated Press) found this does not appear to be true, finding that Google continued to save location history even if a user had turned off Location History.‎ Google states users can stop the saving of all location markers by turning off another setting, however, which is not clearly identified as being connected to location tracking. The setting is called “Web and App Activity”. It stores different kinds of information from Google apps and websites to a user’s Google account.‎ ‎28. Why does the author mention Weather apps?‎ A. To show many apps can track a user’s location.‎ B. To stress Google services are widely used.‎ C. To prove Google collects users’ data illegally.‎ D. To advise people to stop using them.‎ ‎29. What is the voice from the privacy activists?‎ A. Users should use the Internet less. B. Google should stop tracking users.‎ C. Google should turn off location services. D. Google should respect users’ privacy.‎ ‎30. What does the author indicate in paragraph 4?‎ A. The Location History setting is difficult to find.‎ B. What Google announces is hardly consistent with the fact.‎ C. Turning off Location History can avoid being tracked.‎ D. The AP asks Google to remove Location History.‎ ‎31. Which can best summarize the passage?‎ A. Google still tracks you with Location History off.‎ B. Google services urgently need to get improved.‎ C. Using Google puts you into a dangerous state.‎ D. Web and App Activity has endangered people’s life.‎ D When people find themselves in difficult conflicts, they often turn to mediation(调解). Mediators are advised to listen attentively, avoid favoring the ideas of one party, and make both sides feel at ease. Surprisingly, new research that my colleagues and I conducted suggests that, to effectively help people settle their conflicts, mediators should adopt an hostile (敌对的) attitude rather than a calming one. A hostile mediator, we find, brings better results than a nice one.‎ Why would adding more negativity to an already hostile situation prove beneficial? Consider how parents typically react when they can’t get their children to stop quarreling: “I don’t care who started it — both of you, go to your rooms!” At first sight, a calm mediator seems likely to be more effective. But as anyone with brothers or sisters knows parents, seemingly unsympathetic treatment of the situation can have an unusual effect. Children who were troubling each other just now suddenly become more reasonable due to their unkind parents. In our research, we created situations in which pairs of negotiators were part of a heated conflict. In some cases, the mediator had a “nice” approach — calm and polite. In others, he was hostile — aggressive and somewhat rude. Across different types of conflicts, we found that negotiators were more willing and able to reach an agreement in the presence of a hostile mediator than in the presence of a nice one.‎ The main result of the test is not that hostility pays off. In fact, recent research ‎ has documented the social costs of negative behavior. For example, being the target of rude behavior reduces people’s performance on a variety of tasks. Other research shows the social benefits of positive behavior. People are more likely to close deals and become future business partners.‎ Even with the widespread social benefits of positive behavior and costs of negative behavior, hostility can pay off in certain situations.‎ ‎32. What can we learn about parents’ settlement of conflicts in paragraph 2?‎ A. It’s calming and wise. B. It harms family relationship.‎ C. It’s commonly adopted. D. It’s unfriendly but effective.‎ ‎33. How does the author support his viewpoints?‎ A. By presenting facts. B. By making comparison.‎ C. By giving examples and experimenting. D. By analyzing causes and effects.‎ ‎34. Which best describes the author’s attitude in the text?‎ A. Concerned B. Doubtful C. Positive D. Objective ‎35. What could be the title of the text?‎ A. The Surprising Power of Hostility B. The Costs of Negative Behavior C. The Benefits of Positive Behavior D. The Importance of Effective Mediation 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。‎ Whether you know it, other people always read your body language for secret information about you. 36 .‎ To begin with, if you want your body language to show you’re listening to another person, make eye contact. But limit it. When you give more than 80 percent, the person you are communicating with will feel uncomfortable. 37 . The magic number is 60 percent, or a little more than half. Give them eye contact, and then slightly glance away.‎ Secondly, crossing your arms may mean you’re distant, anxious, defensive, or stubborn. But arm crossing has its advantages, too. A study found adults who crossed their arms and then were asked hard math questions were more likely to keep trying ‎ to solve them than those who kept their hands on a table. So the next time you meet someone with a tough question and they cross their arms, don’t assume you’ve made them mad. 38 .‎ Making a habit of smiling and laughing during conversations with other people can result in positive outcomes. 39 . Evidence shows that smiles and laughter build the immune system, defend the body against illness and disease, attract more friends and extend life. This is part of the reason why being funny or having the ability to make others laugh can be found attractive by so many people.‎ ‎ 40 ? If you sit with your legs crossed, you may feel confident and want to dominate (俯视). When you sit in this position you’re opening up your “power zone”. It’s a male movement but women are beginning to sit like this more and more.‎ A. Do you like standing with your legs crossed B. They might just be trying to come up with an answer C. Let’s find out what your gestures and movements are saying about you D. With your elbows pointing out, you prevent others from getting by you E. Do you have the habit of sitting with your legs crossed ‎ F. Give too little, 40 percent or less, and it can be a sign of trying to cheat them ‎ G. When smiling at another person, you can increasingly improve relationships ‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ During my junior year, I was accepted as a competitor in the Miss Teen Massachusetts Pageant(选美竞赛). Hearing the news, I felt very excited 41 it was a good chance. However, with it, I would become really 42 , for I had to balance my academic schedule with other extra-curricular activities, preparing for the pageant meanwhile.
