(2019·潍坊市统一考试)When traveling on a budget，every dollar counts. Unfortunately，the cost of tickets alone can make a serious hole in your savings.Don't let that stop you from taking your dream vacation，though.According to Jeff Klee，CEO of CheapAir.com，there is a “sweet spot” to get the biggest bang for your buck.

“The most important rule is fairly obvious：don't wait until the last minute，as that rarely works out，” he said in a statement.“But beyond that，you also want to be careful not to buy too early.”

Still，that's easier said than done.Finding the most cost­efficient time to book is tough.Luckily，somebody did the math—so you don't have to.Data crunchers from the online travel agency CheapAir.com surveyed over 917 million fares to determine the day with the cheapest rates.

Here's what they found: while prices tend to stay the same between 320 and 106 days before a trip，they start dropping at the 105­day mark.That said，you might be tempted to book the moment prices drop.But hold on! You'll save even more money by booking precisely 70 days before your trip.According to CheapAir.com，you can save 48 percent of the ticket's total cost by using this trick.After that date，airfares will begin to increase again.And don't even think about booking any later than 20 days ahead of time，as prices will be soaring.

So，what are you waiting for？Start planning your next dream vacation，and book accordingly.Your wallet will thank you－guaranteed.

【语篇解读】　本文介绍了购买便宜飞机票的方法和策略。

A．The later，the better.

B．As early as possible.

C．105 days before our trip.

D．70 days before our trip.

D　[细节理解题。根据第四段的内容尤其是第四句“You'll save even more money by booking precisely 70 days before your trip”可知，旅行前第70天预订机票节省的钱最多，故选D。]

5．How much can the trick help us save if the ticket costs $400 totally?

A．$48.　　　 B．$192.

C．$208. D．$352.

B　[数字计算题。根据第四段第五句“According to CheapAir.com，you can save 48 percent of the ticket's total cost by using this trick”，并结合题干可知，原价是400美元的飞机票总共可以节省：$400]]

6．What's the purpose of the author in writing this text?

A．To explain what a “sweet spot” is.

B．To attract people to traveling by plane.

C．To show the ways of booking plane tickets.

D．To tell people how to buy cheap plane tickets.

D　[写作意图题。根据第一段第一句“When traveling on a budget，every dollar counts”和对本文的整体理解可推知，本文的主要目的在于介绍购买便宜飞机票的策略和方法，故选D。]

Ⅱ.阅读七选五

(2019·郑州一中入学摸底测试)Teenagers are especially likely to suffer loneliness.Here are some suggestions for speeding a recovery from loneliness.

Reach out to others，but start small.A smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind you in line at the cafeteria won't make you best friends.__1__ It also can make it easier to interact the next time.

Find a safe place to make connections.If going to the school dance makes you feel like you just don't belong，try joining a special­interest group.Maybe it's the drama club or the marching band.__2__

Find other ways of making connections.Lonely people hunger for acceptance and friendship.Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for others.__3__ Teach a child reading.Take notes for a disabled classmate. You might be surprised at the connections you make after reaching out to others in these ways.

__4__ Loneliness is an absence of quality friendships，not of a particular quantity of friends.That's why it's important to know how to select a friend.The best friendships are those based on similar values and attitudes.

You get what you expect，so expect the best.If you expect others to be friendly，you will behave in similar ways.

__5__ It goes away as teens learn how to find their way through their social world and connect with others.

A．But it will make you both feel pretty good.

B．So consider becoming a volunteer.

C．Some teens aren't so adaptable，however.

D．Encourage people to be friendlier to you.

E．Choose the right people.

F．For most young people，loneliness is only temporary.

G．Look for a group that allows you to ease gradually.

【语篇解读】　本文主要介绍了应对孤独的一些建议。

1．A　[根据语境可知，空前一句和空后的“It also can make it easier to interact the next time”存在逻辑上的转折关系，所以A项“但是它将使你们都感到很好”符合语境。]

2．G　[根据上文“Find a safe place to make connections.If going to the school dance makes you feel like you just don't belong，try joining a special­interest group”可推知，作者建议找一个让自己觉得舒服的团体，所以选G项。]

3．B　[根据上文“Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for others”可知，帮助他人会让孤独者更易被接纳和喜欢。故B项“因此考虑做一名志愿者”衔接下文“Teach a child reading.Take notes for a disabled classmate”。]

4．E　[根据下文“Loneliness is an absence of quality friendships，not of a particular quantity of friends.That's why it's important to know how to select a friend”可推知，选对朋友对孤独者尤其重要，他们缺的不是特定数量的朋友，而是高质量的友谊，所以选E项。]

5．F　[由空后的“It goes away as teens learn how to find their way through their social world and connect with others”可推知，青少年的孤独是暂时的，随着他们学会如何通过社会阅历找到自己的道路和与他人建立关系，孤独就会不复存在，所以选F项。]

Ⅲ.语法填空

A

(2018·南宁摸底联考)It used to be one of the world's most splendid train stations，sitting on the French­Spanish border—but then it fell into disrepair.Now，writes Chris Bockman，the building is showing new signs of life.

The train station was built in iron and glass，complete with a hospital，a restaurant and living quarters for customs officers from both France and Spain.At the time it was nicknamed the “Titanic of the Mountains”．

But after the day the station was opened in 1928 by the French president and the Spanish king，flaws quickly became obvious.The rail gauges(轨距) were different，so passengers still had to change trains.It made transporting goods too slow.In the early 1930s，as few as 50 passengers a day were using the station.And then things got worse.During the Spanish Civil War，the tunnels on the Spanish side were sealed off to prevent Republican rebels(反叛者) from bringing weapons in.Later，the French lost interest in the line.When a train derailed on the French side in 1970，that signaled that France abandoned the line.

The grand building itself went to rot.The tracks rusted，the ceilings fell in with the severe winter weather and vandalism(故意破坏财物的行为) did the rest.

But a few years ago the local government in Aragon decided to buy the place and restore it，claiming it was a major part of Spanish history.The French government has agreed to reopen the line on its side too.If all goes to plan，the “Titanic of the Mountains” could be back in business within five years before the end of 2022.It is reported that the massive wooden ticket counters at the station have already been restored.

【语篇解读】　本文讲述了法国和西班牙边境的一座火车站的历史变迁。

1．The following factors contributed to the shutdown of the train station EXCEPT ________.

A．its poor appearance

B．different gauges

C．the Spanish Civil War

D．slow transporting speed

A　[细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The rail gauges(轨距) were different，so passengers still had to change trains.”可知，轨距不同是造成火车站关闭的原因之一；根据第三段中的“During the Spanish Civil War...bringing weapons in.”可知，西班牙内战是造成火车站关闭的原因之一；根据第三段中的“It made transporting goods too slow.”可知，运输速度慢是造成火车站关闭的原因之一。故选项A不是造成火车站关闭的原因，所以选A。]

2．When the train station reopens，it may celebrate its ________ anniversary.

A．52nd　　 B．72nd

C．94th D．89th

C　[推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But after the day the station was opened in 1928”和第五段中的“If all goes to plan...before the end of 2022.”可以计算出：2022－1928＝94(年)，当其恢复使用时可以庆祝其94周年纪念日，所以选C。]

3．What will probably happen to the train station?

A．It will be repaired.

B．It will be turned into a museum.

C．It will be knocked down.

D．It will be sold to the French government.

A　[推理判断题。根据第五段首句“But a few years ago the local government in Aragon decided to buy the place and restore it”可知，几年前阿拉贡的当地政府要购买并且恢复该火车站。restore意为“使恢复，修复”，所以选A。]

4．What is the best title for the text?

A．The Design of a Train Station

B．The War Between France and Spain

C．The History of a Train Station

D．The “Titanic of the Mountains” Coming Back

D　[标题归纳题。根据全文尤其是第一段中的“the building is showing new signs of life”和第五段中的“If all goes to plan，the ‘Titanic of the Mountains’ could be back”可知，选项D能够概括全文，所以选D。]

(2019·沈阳质量监测一)Encouraging life to boom (兴旺) in the middle of a desert is no easy task.But one company in the United Arab Emirates has come up with a plan to provide drinking water for the state's citizens.The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its fresh water.

The company plans to source the massive blocks of ice from Heard Island，around 600 miles off the coast of mainland Antarctica.It will then transport them around 5,500 miles to Fujairah，one part of the UAE.One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years，according to the company.

The company's director says they have already travelled the transportation route and checked the possibility of the scheme，according to reports in Gulf News. Speaking to the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project，Abdullah Mohammad Sulaiman Al Shehi said，“We have made the technical and financial plan.We will start the project at the beginning of next year.We want it mainly for the water.It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”

The UAE is one of the driest countries in the world，due to its extremely arid climate，which receives less than four inches of rainfall per year.Despite that，it consumes more water than double the global national average，putting the country at severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years.

An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water，according to the company.The iceberg takes a long time to melt as 80 percent of it is under the water，while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects(使转向) its heat.Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks，before being processed.“This is the purest water in the world，”Mr Al Shehi added.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了阿联酋有一家公司计划把南极洲的冰山运到附近的海湾，以解决国内的缺水问题。

5．What can we learn about the UAE project?

A．It will help the UAE harvest fresh water.

B．It will encourage life to boom in Antarctica.

C．It will put the UAE at severe risk of droughts.

D．It will completely change the climate in the UAE.

A　[细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“The company intends to...its fresh water.”可知，这个项目会给阿联酋带来淡水，故选A项。]

6．Where could the block of ice come from?

A．The Atlantic Ocean.

B．Fujairah.

C．The Gulf. 

D．Heard Island.

D　[细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“The company plans to...mainland Antarctica.”可知，这个公司计划从Heard Island上获取冰山。source在本句中表示“从……获得”。]

7．Which of the following may NOT benefit from the project?

A．The local people.

B．Antarctica.

C．The weather. 

D．Tourism.

B　[细节理解题。根据文中第二段中的“One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years”和第三段中的“It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”可知，冰山可以为人们带来淡水，这个项目对旅游业和天气也有利，结合题目要求可知选B项。]

8．The author mentions the nature of ice in the last paragraph to show________.

A．the process of the project

B．the possibility of the plan

C．the purpose of the company

D．the comments on the scheme

B　[推理判断题。根据最后一段中提到的冰山含有大量的水且融化需要很长时间，再结合“Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks，before being processed.”可以推知，作者在该段提及冰的特性意在表明该计划的可实施性，故选B项。]

(2019·长沙名校第二阶段测评)

How to Retain(保存) More of Every Book You Read

In recent years，I have focused on building good reading habits and learned how to read more.For most people，the final goal of reading a nonfiction book is to actually improve their life by learning a new skill，understanding an important problem，or looking at the world in a new way.__1__ With that in mind，I'd like to share three reading comprehension skills that I use to make my reading more productive.

·Make all of your notes searchable.

Having searchable book notes is important for returning to ideas easily.__2__ An idea is only useful if you can find it when you need it.There is no need to leave the task of reading comprehension merely up to your memory.

·__3__

When you go to the library，all of the books will be divided into different categories.In the real world，of course，knowledge is not separated into neatly defined boxes.__4__ For that reason，I try to consider how the book I'm reading is connected with all of the ideas that are already inside my head.Whenever possible，I try to combine the lessons I'm learning with previous ideas.

·Summarize the book in one paragraph.

__5__ It forces me to review my notes and consider what is really important about the book.In many cases，I find that I can usually get just as much useful information from reading my one­paragraph summary and reviewing my notes as I would if I read the entire book again.

A．Combine thoughts as you read.

B．All knowledge is interconnected.

C．Describe the book to your friends.

D．Read widely if you want to practice the skills.

E．It increases the chances that you will apply what you read in real life.

F．Once I finish a book，I challenge myself to summarize the text in just three sentences.

G．It's important to read books，but it is just as important to remember what you read and use it.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。分别从记笔记、边阅读边思考以及归纳三方面说明如何提高阅读效率。

1．G　[根据空前的内容可知阅读能改善人们的生活，再根据后面一句中的“to make my reading more productive(使得阅读更有效率)”可知，G项“阅读很重要，而记住所阅读的东西并利用它同样重要”符合语境。另外，后面With that in mind中的that指代G项内容。]

2．E　[根据语境可知，有可查阅的读书笔记对于轻松地回想起书中的思想很重要，这增加了你将读到的东西运用到现实生活中的可能性。E项中的It指代Having searchable book notes。]

3．A　[根据此段的最后一句“Whenever possible，I try to combine the lessons I'm learning with previous ideas.”可知，作者建议读书的过程中要学会整合思想，故A项与此处匹配。]

4．B　[根据空前一句“In the real world，of course，knowledge is not separated into neatly defined boxes.”可知，现实生活中，知识当然不是独立地安放在各种整齐、清晰界定的箱子里，所有的知识都是交融的，故B项与此处匹配。空后的“connected with”也是暗示。]

5．F　[根据本段标题句Summarize the book in one paragraph.中的关键词Summarize可知，F项中的“I challenge myself to summarize the text in just three sentences”与标题信息相吻合。]

Ⅲ.语法填空

(2019·福州质量检测)The Year of the Dog began on Feb.16,2018 according to the Chinese lunar calendar.Though dogs 1.________(see) as companions and part of the family today，China and Western countries do not have the same cultural  2.________(belief) about dogs.

In Chinese，some words  3.________(concern) dogs don't have very good meanings，such as “No ivory(象牙) can come out of a dog's mouth”．But in English，the situation is 4.________(differ)．“Every dog has his day” describes a person with a period of good fortune and “work like a dog” is used 5.________ (describe) a hard worker.

The dog­human relationship goes right  6.________ to the beginnings of Western civilization，and the friendship between humans and dogs was a common subject for artists.

7．________fact，people were close to dogs in a way they weren't close to cows，pigs or even horses.Farmers worked  8.________(close) with dogs.But even after science came to agriculture and dogs lost 9.________(they) traditional roles，the relationship between humans and dogs remained.

Nowadays millions of people keep dogs as pets.People feed them，take them on holidays 10.________ look after them.In return，dogs are loyal (忠诚的) in a way that friends sometimes aren't.This loyalty is the origin of the English saying，“A dog is man's best friend.”

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文，以狗年入题，介绍狗在中西方文化中的不同意义。

1．are seen　[考查时态和语态。根据上下文可知，这里是对常识性知识的介绍，故用一般现在时，see...as...表示“把……看作是……”，这里动词see与主语dogs构成被动关系，故用are seen。]

2．beliefs　[考查名词单复数。句意：关于狗，中国和西方国家并没有相同的观点。此处belief为可数名词，表示复数概念，故填beliefs。]

3．concerning　[考查介词。此处应用介词concerning，表示“关于，涉及”。]

4．different　[考查形容词。空处充当表语，说明主语的性质，故用所给词的形容词形式，故填different。]

5．to describe　[考查非谓语动词。be used to do sth.“被用来做某事”是固定搭配，故填to describe。]

6．back　[考查副词。根据空后的the beginnings可知，空处应填back，go back to“追溯至”。]

7．In　[考查固定短语。in fact表示“事实上”，为固定短语，故填In。]

8．closely　[考查副词。空处修饰动词worked，故用副词形式。close作副词时表示“不远地，接近地”；closely为副词，表示“密切地，在很大程度上地”。根据语境可知，空处应填closely。]

9．their　[考查代词。根据语境及空后的traditional roles可知，空处应填形容词性物主代词。]

10．and　[考查连词。本句中feed，take和look after是并列谓语，如果三个或三个以上的谓语动词并列，在最后两个动作之间用and连接，其他的用逗号分开，因此这里用连词and。]
