Those who fly first class and dont care what airline tickets cost are excused from this lesson. When to buy If you are shopping for domestic 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) 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. Youd 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: Lets say you want to fly from New York 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 youre 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 the underlined phrase “stifle the impulse” in the last but one paragraph mean? 3 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 The hit movie Notting Hill（诺丁山）begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps into Julia Roberts and spills orange juice all over her. After the collision, Grant repeatedly says, “Im so sorry. Im so sorry.” His actions in this scene are very British. If Roberts character were from the Britain, than she would probably apologize repeatedly as well even if the crash were not her fault. But this doesnt happen in the movie, as Roberts is from the US. A report in The Telegraph once said that three quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street regardless of whether they are responsible or not. In fact, Britons use “sorry” in many situations. For example, if they mishear someone, they say “Sorry?” The person they are talking to will also apologize by replying, “No, I am sorry!” This can go on for up to five minutes as they compete over who is the most sorry. Why are Britons so sorry? Mark Tyrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks that their apologetic tendencies are rooted in British class system. “We say sorry because historically the new middle class in Britain had to apologize for not being the working class, but also for really being the upper class.” Another theory is that they apologize to avoid conflicts. For example, if they bump into someone, he might get angry. To avoid this, they instantly say “Sorry!” True manners are about being considerate, and todays constant use of apologizing shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word “sorry” has lost some of its meaning. Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing. 24. Why does the author mention a scene in the movie Notting Hill at the beginning? A. To give an example of British modesty. B. To introduce different ways of saying sorry. C. To show what kind of men are considered gentlemen in the UK. D. To draw our attention to when and how British people say sorry. 25. Which of the following statements might Mark Tyrell agree with? A. People should not apologize if they are not responsible. B. Americans care less about manners than British people do. C. That British people apologize so much is linked to the class system. D. British people care too much about which social class they are from. 26. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Its unnecessary for British people to be so polite. B. The overuse of apologizing shows Britons are truly sincere. C. People should not stick to the traditional use of the word “sorry”. D. Using “sorry” more doesnt necessarily mean people are more polite. 27. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage? A. To explore the best way of saying sorry. B. To explain why Britons overuse the word “sorry”. C. To show how saying sorry has changed over time. D. To suggest many British people lack traditional manners. C Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches (沟渠) along the highway I travel daily to work. 4 There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye. Ive noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours; the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers. This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. Ive often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Every day I drove past the flowers thinking, III stop on my way home and dig them. Gee, I dont want to get my good clothes dirty. Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding tool one year for my trunk to be used for that expressed purpose. One day on my way home from work, I was upset to see that the highway department had removed the ditches and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, “Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring.” A week ago we were shocked and sad to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a serious brain disease. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we havent been as close as we all would have liked. I couldnt help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husbands sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us. And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet Ill stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden. 28. Why does the writer want to start a wildflower garden in her yard? A. The flowers bloom only in the morning hours. B. She can see the flowers every day for two weeks. C. The flowers can remind her of her oldest sister-in-law. D. She enjoys the way of life in company with the flowers. 29. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage? A. The sister-in-law lives far away from us. B. We get on well with the sister-in-law in practice. C. I never stopped to dig the flowers for some reason. D. The blue flowers in the ditches always draw my attention. 30. According to the passage, the writer will . A. stop to find the flowers whenever she drives along the highway B. plant a variety of flowers in the garden in her yard in future C. get as wonderful memories with the sister-in-law as before D. get more close to the sister-in-law in the following days 31. What is the theme of the story? A. Actions speak louder than words.B. No sweets without sweat. C. Time and tide wait for no man.D. Opportunity belongs to whoever is prepared. D Imagine youre standing in line to buy a snack at a store. You step up to the counter and the cashier scans your food. Next, you have to pay. But instead of scanning a QR Code (二维码) with your smart phone, you just hold out your hand so the cashier can scan your fingerprint. Or, a camera scans your face, your eyes or even your ear. Now, this type of technology might not be far away. As technology companies move away from the traditional password, biometric (生物特征识别的) security, which includes fingerprint, face and voice ID, is becoming increasingly popular. In 2013, Apple introduced the iPhone 5s, one of the first smart phones with a fingerprint scanner. Since then, using ones fingerprint to unlock a phone and make mobile payments has become a commonplace, bringing convenience to our lives. And since 2016, Samsung has featured eye-scanning technology in its top smart phones, while Apples new iphone X can even scan a users face. But despite its popularity, experts warn that biometrics might not be as secure as we imagine. Biometrics is ideally good in practice, not so much, said John Michener, a biometrics expert. When introducing the new iPhones face ID feature, Phil Schiller, Apples senior vice-president, said. The chance that a random person in the population could look at your iPhones X and unlock it 5 with their face is about one in a million. But its already been done. In a video posted on a community website Reddit, two brothers showed how they were each able to unlock the same iPhone X using their own face. And they arent even twins. We may expect too much from biometrics, Anil Jain, a computer science professor at Michigan State University, told CBS News. No security systems are perfect. Earlier last year, Jain found a way to trick biometric security. Using a printed copy of a thumbprint, she was able to unlock a dead persons smart phone for the police, according to a tech website Splinter. Its good to see biometrics being used more, Jain told CBS News, because it adds another factor for security. But using multiple security measures is the best defense. 32. Which is the latest identification technology in a smart phone according to the passage? A. Face scanning.B. Eye scanning. C. QR Code scanning.D. Fingerprint scanning. 33. What is a major problem of the iPhone Xs face ID system? A. It takes too long to unlock the phone. B. It often fails to recognize its owners face. C. Face data can be used for other purposes. D. Different faces can be used to unlock the same phone. 34. What is Anil Jains opinion about biometric security? A. It is as secure as traditional measures. B. It is perfect without much improvement. C. It has caused much trouble for the police. D. It should be used with other security measures. 35. What does the author intend to tell us in this passage? A. The popularity of biometrics.B. Security problems of biometrics. C. Various problems with biometrics.D. Great changes caused by biometrics. 第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题小题， ，每小题每小题 2 2.5.5 分，满分，满 12.512.5 分）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。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。 Filial piety (孝心) is Chinas most important morality and involves strong deference (顺从) to ones parents.Thus, filial piety is an important value when it comes to treating ones immediate family, elders and superiors in general. Origins Filial piety was originally mentioned in the Western Zhou, 36 Meaning Filial piety is a general attitude of offering love, respect, support, and deference to ones parents and other elders in the family, such as grandparents or older siblings. 37 Besides, it involves working hard in order to provide material comforts for parents.
