【題目】Getting ripped off from time to time is just part of traveling---don’t let it ruin your day or your overall experience. But there are things you can do to avoid some of the most common rip-offs. Let me share my travel tips for how to avoid hidden fees, disappointed experiences and overpriced items.

Baggage Fees

Depending upon the airline, you can pay $15 to $75 for the first checked bag, and more for overweight bags. When possible, pack a bag lightly enough to a carry-on or fly airlines that still allow free checked bags(two bags for Southwest and one for JetBlue). Many airline programs allow members with a high status to have a free checked bag, so check your status.

Overpriced Hotel and Airport Food

To avoid the overpriced water sold at airports, bring an empty water bottle with you through security at the airport. Then, fill it up at a water fountain or ask a waiter at a coffee shop to fill it up for you. Pick up some snacks at a local corner store instead of hitting the hotel room mini bar, which can lead to expensive surprises on your final bill.

Tourist Trap Restaurants

If you’re visiting a restaurant or attraction that has online presence, Google it or search it on Yelp to see what the locals say about it and to find any available coupons(優(yōu)惠券) that might get some extra savings. Often restaurants run deals on Yelp where if you “check in” at that restaurant and review it, you get a free dessert or 15% off the total bill, etc. By researching online, you’ll not only see whether there are any coupons or extra savings available, but people will tell you if the chef changed a month ago and the food is awful now.

【1】To have a free checked bag, you shall not_______.

A. take a light carry-on B. have a high status

C. take overweight bags D. choose Southwest Airlines

【2】If you want to drink free water at an airport, you can______.

A. take a bottle of water through security

B. go to a water fountain

C. go to a store at the airport

D. order a coffee at a coffee shop

【3】The passage is probably written by______.

A. a travel agent

B. an economical person

C. an experienced traveler

D. a skilled net-worker

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】C

【解析】試題分析：本文是一篇說明文。經(jīng)常被騙是旅行的一部分，但是不要讓它毀了你的整個旅行，你可以做一些事情避開一些常見的欺騙。本文給出了三項關(guān)于如何避免被騙的有效建議。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段Depending upon the airline, you can pay $15 to $75 for the first checked bag, and more for overweight bags.可推斷為了有一個免費的托運行李，不要攜帶超重的行李。故選C。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第二句Then, fill it up at a water fountain or ask a waiter at a coffee shop to fill it up for you.可知，你可攜帶一個空水瓶過安檢，然后去供應(yīng)飲水的地方把它裝滿。因此推斷供應(yīng)飲水的地方的水是免費的。故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段尾句Let me share my travel tips for how to avoid hidden fees, disappointed experiences and overpriced items.可知，本文是作者分享的自己的旅行建議，以避免隱性收費、失望的經(jīng)歷和昂貴的物品。因此推斷這篇文章是由一個有經(jīng)驗的旅行者寫的。故選C。

【題目】Internet data shows that younger adults have become the main audience crazy about changing their appearance. Once the world of the female in her fifties, plastic surgery(整形手術(shù)) has become the focus of the younger Internet users.

The recent death of Stephanie Kuleba, an 18-year-old high school cheerleader who died as a result of plastic surgery, brought our attention to the fashion of becoming a more “ideal” body among teenagers. In fact, search data confirms this phenomenon. One of the most popular sites visited from the search term “plastic surgery” is the official site of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (www. plastic surgery. org). Over 25% of the visitors, which is up from 19.6% two years ago, fell within the 18 to 24 years old.

Plastic surgery has become an American obsession (癡迷). Checking other countries, such as the UK and Australia, the 18 to 24-year-old’s being interested in plastic surgery is an obvious US phenomenon. Unlike the other groups who visit sites related to diseases and keeping healthy, younger Internet users rush to sites that deal with personal appearance, such as those focused on body-building, weight loss and skin-care, and obviously plastic surgery.

While television on surgery may be driving the interest of a younger audience, one factor appears to be a key in preventing such teens from changing their bodies: the failing U.S. economy. There has been a decline in all plastic surgery topics over the last year. While older age continue to search for information on procedures such as liposuction(抽脂), it’s younger Internet users who in tough economic times are focusing on improving their outer beauty, though at a discount price.

【1】Why does the author mention the death of the 18-year-old cheerleader?

A. To show cheerleaders pay more attention to their appearance.

B. To warn people that plastic surgery is not as safe as it is said to be.

C. To prove the fact that people will pursue beauty at any cost.

D. To draw attention to the issue of young people having plastic surgery.

【2】While young people are surfing on the Internet, they are very interested in____________.

A. how to be physically and mentally healthy.

B. how to make themselves look young.

C. how to prevent and cure diseases.

D. how to have more attractive appearance.

【題目】The Winner's Guide to Success

Do you know what makes people successful? To find out the answers, an American reporter recently visited some of the most successful people around the world.【1】

●Be responsible for yourself.

●Write a plan.

It is very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away.【3】Without this "map", you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the "map", you'll enjoy the "trip" and get what you want in the shortest possible time.

Dear Liu Jun,

How are you? I have studied in Detroit for almost one year, when the teachers and students are very friend with me. With their help, I’ve made a great progress in my studies. The climate isn’t what I expect. I have never gone through such a cold winter. However, I have gradually adapted me to it. Detroit, whose industry is famous, belongs to the developed world. All kind of lights on at night, Detroit is extreme beautiful. The people there live at a fast pace. They are always on the go, so they have less time chat with each other.

How is everything with you? I’d like to hear about you soon.

Yours,

Li Hua

【題目】Nowadays people are not so excited by parties and social gatherings. This is not because of having no desire to socialize, but because of smartphones.

When they are gathering together, more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation study, well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too much of society is using smartphones while driving and as a result getting into car crashes. 34 percent of teens admit to text while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption. People's attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.

Just as drivers ignore the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphone to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.

As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their messages, smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is de-advancing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) face-to-face but it is also lowering society's ability to communicate.

【1】The purpose of this text is to ________.

A. express a concern about the overuse of the smartphone

B. call for an end to use the smartphone while driving

C. appeal to us to pay attention to communication skills

D. advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphone

【2】The second paragraph is developed by ________.

A. listing figures

B. giving examples

C. analyzing the effects

D. comparing facts

【3】The author advocates us to make new friends ________.

A. under a free circumstance

B. by using smartphones

C. in different ways

D. in a face-to-face way

【4】Over dependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that ________.

A. parties and gatherings limit their social circle

B. people are more and more narrow-minded

C. people's communication skills are weakened

D. face-to-face communication becomes less important
