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.‎ Getting 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 (取消已预定的飞机座位) 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.‎ Avoiding extra fees Airlines will charge for just about anything these days. Some have even toyed around with charging customers for using the restroom. All those extra fees can certainly add up, but there’s no reason to pay them if you don’t have to. Here are some tips to keep money in your wallet once you get to the airport.‎ Avoid the upgrade it's not necessary Sometimes upgrades are free, but mostly you will be charged for seeking a last-minute bump to first class, and the cost can be large.‎ Fly carry-on only Baggage fees vary wildly, but almost all airlines charge them and charge big. Why pay for your clothes to fly with you? If everyone in your travel party checks a bag, your bill can be astronomical before you ever even get to your destination. It’s easy to reduce the amount of stuff you pack: Make sure all your clothing coordinates, so you can take less and still make more outfit combinations, take only two pair of shoes, plan to do a bit of laundry on your trip and bring only travel-sized toiletries.‎ Pack your own snacks Unless you’re flying internationally, it’s rare your flight comes with a free meal. Snacks on the plane are not cheap and almost never healthy. Don’t rely on what’s on the small menu and instead tuck some of your own snacks — granola bars, homemade muffins, fruit and trail mix all make fantastic travel foods — into your bag and eat a lot better, and cheaper, than other passengers.‎ Do you have a tried and true method of getting the best deal on your flights? Let us know.‎ ‎21. To save money, which one should NOT be the choice?‎ A. Early morning flights. B. Early boarding times.‎ C. The flights on Saturday. D. The flights on Summer holiday.‎ ‎22. According to the passage, which one is right?‎ A. If you show up early on your travel day, you can get the best seats.‎ B. You can save big if you’re willing to travel on Christmas eve.‎ C. If you’re flying internationally, your flight will come with a free meal.‎ D. You will be charged for seeking the upgrades, and the cost can be high.‎ ‎23. According to the passage, you can do the things except ________ to avoid extra fees.‎ A. use the restroom B. eat your own snacks heartily C. fly with carry-on D. give up the upgrade B Mother Nature has it figured out. She’s designed a master scheme that connects plants and animals, all working in concert to keep every living thing in balance.‎ This is especially obvious in places like central Africa and in South American tropical rainforests where certain animals help keep trees safe and healthy, which is critical as trees absorb vast amounts of planet-warming carbon pollution.‎ Recent research warns that losing the creatures that nurture trees puts forests in danger. This, by extension, is helping to accelerate dangerous climate change.‎ In central Africa, for example, elephants eat fast-growing trees, making room for those that grow more slowly. The slowgrowing trees—with their very dense wood—store more carbon than the thinner, faster-developing ones. Without elephants, more carbon would accumulate in the ‎ atmosphere, worsening climate change, according to a new study that used computer models to project what could happen if elephant populations continue to decrease or become extinct.‎ ‎“Africa may once have contained 10 million elephants from the Mediterranean to the Cape, in every habitat except extreme desert. In 1970, there may have been a million left. By the end of the 1980s, there were half that number, mostly killed for the ivory trade,” said Stephen Blake, assistant professor of biology at St. Louis University.‎ By killing elephants, poachers (偷猎者) rob slowgrowing trees of their guardian. They also slow the growth of new trees. Elephants blaze (开辟) trails and disperse (散播) seeds as they look for food “Elephants are basically the gardeners of the forest,” Blake said. “They disperse over 100 species of seeds, and disperse more of them over longer distances than other dispersers.”‎ Blake, who has spent nearly 20 years in Africa working in elephant research and conservation, mourns their fate, describing them as “a complex society of intelligent, caring emotional animals who respect their grandmothers and mourn their dead,” and condemns those who neglect their duty to save them.‎ ‎“We will go to Mars—there is no doubt—humans are too smart not to,” he said. “Yet we do not have the wisdom to protect elephants and their forest environment that do so much for our physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being.”‎ ‎24. Elephants help keep slowgrowing trees safe and healthy by ________.‎ A. providing living space for them B. dispersing seeds when searching for food C. decreasing in number and reducing carbon accumulation D. protecting them in the forest from being cut down ‎25. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. The world is changing at a faster speed than before.‎ B. People are intelligent enough to protect the environment.‎ C. What we have done to protect elephants is far from satisfactory.‎ D. Animals are so smart that they care much about the well-being of humans.‎ ‎26. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?‎ A. Elephants are in danger of dying out in the near future.‎ B. Elephants are fighting climate change in ways humans can’t.‎ C. Animals are assumed to be the gardeners of the forest.‎ D. Animals are accelerating dangerous climate change.‎ C It was back in 2014. I learned I needed an operation to remove the tumor (肿瘤). Hearing the word “cancer” was the first shock, but knowing the surgeon would have to cut the front of my neck open was a lot to swallow. I was relieved to learn that thyroid (甲状腺) cancer can be treated if caught early, but 1 wasn’t thrilled it would mean a lifelong scar front and center on my neck.‎ Back at home, I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I admired my neck, running my finger across a delicate gold chain I wore. Then came a tiny voice, “Mommy!” My then five year-old son, Jack, appeared in the mirror behind me. Our reflection was a big reality check. See, my son didn’t know I had been diagnosed (诊断) with the Big C, or that I was having an operation. I patiently explained my condition to him and told him I would have a scar on my neck after the operation.‎ I never had any intentions of hiding the scar. I didn’t want my son to think my scar was something to be ashamed of. I was his role model and I needed to set a good example. Bad things can happen, but it’s how you deal with them that matters.‎ The operation was successful. The recovery process, bearing it all, in the grocery store, out to dinner with family and on the summer camp pickup line, made me realize, if I could get through this phase (阶段), I could bear the scar of survival forever. The scar proves I looked at fear in the face and won.‎ People will ask about my scar even though it’s a very thin, dull line five years later. That means I have the chance to educate others about thyroid cancer and how they should self-check their necks and remind their doctors to do the same, at yearly physicals. To me, the scar is like a superhero stamp.‎ ‎27. What’s the author worried about before the operation?‎ A. Her neck would look ugly. ‎ B. The tumor couldn’t be removed.‎ C. Jack couldn’t take care of himself. ‎ D. She would have difficulty swallowing.‎ ‎28. Why did the author decide to face the reality bravely?‎ A. She didn’t care how people liked her.‎ B. She realized she didn’t have other choice.‎ C. She wanted to set a good example to her son.‎ D. She felt lucky to have her cancer caught early.‎ ‎29. How does the recovery process turn out?‎ A. Regretful. B. Stressful. C. Surprising. D. Meaningful.‎ ‎30. What can be inferred about the author from the last paragraph?‎ A. She has a better chance of education.‎ B. She feels proud of what she has done.‎ C. She has become an expert in cancer treatment.‎ D. She has suffered from poor health for five years.‎ 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。‎ Some students find themselves constantly in trouble with attention at school. 31 If you have trouble paying attention, sitting still, and are getting constantly called out by your teacher, you can still learn to follow the rules and channel your energy into becoming a better student.‎ ‎32 If you have trouble paying attention and staying on task, changing your attitude can help a lot. Try to use your imagination to make the task cooler and more fun. It might sound stupid, but pretending your schoolwork is fun can actually make it fun.‎ Take notes. One great way to keep yourself focused on the class topics and the lesson is to take notes. Even if you'll be provided with a review, or you don't eventually need the information for the test, if you struggle to pay attention, focus on writing down the important things the teacher says. 33 ‎ Be prepared for class. You can’t stay focused if you don't have all the necessary supplies ready, and you’re in your seat on time. There's nothing worse for your classroom reputation than forgetting your math textbook, or having to ask for a pencil or a piece of paper that you forget to bring.‎ Get involved in the class discussions. 34 Just raise your hand if you know the answer, and talk during discussions in class if they re going on.‎ ‎35 Just like changing your attitude about enjoying your classes, making an active choice can be an important first step in actually getting better grades.‎ A. Motivate yourself to improve your grades.‎ B. Use your imagination and decide to like the topics.‎ C. Taking notes can also help you improve your writing skills.‎ D. If you’re not active in class, make a change and try to answer questions.‎ E. There are so many factors to make you unfocused, and you aren't alone!‎ F. This will help you stay focused and you’ll have something to refer to later.‎ G. Seeing the results of your hard work, you might become more confident at work.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共二节，满分45分)‎ 第一节： 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分)‎ 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。‎ It all started with a commercial.

Reuven told his oldest boy, Aaron, to take the goat to town. Aaron understood what it meant, but he had to obey his father. His sisters cried loudly.‎ Aaron took a1ong two slices of bread to eat on the road. He needed to deliver the goat by evening and return the next day with the money.
