    【题目】Saving Money on Holiday Travel

    The holiday season isn’t just about shopping and gifts. 【1】 However, holiday travel can get expensive fast faster than you can imagine. Fortunately, the following tips will help you keep your travel spending under control.

    Plan ahead. The earlier you book your travel, from flights to hotels, the easier it is to find good deals.【2】 In fact, many experts point out that you should book travel about one to three months earlier so that you can have more opportunities to find the best deals and you know what you will be doing.

    Book your air travel on cheaper days. Travelling by air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays often costs less than travelling on Fridays and Sundays. During the holidays, though, it’s not just about a specific day of the week.【3】 Days immediately before and after a holiday can be expensive. If you can adjust your plans so that you can travel on Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Day, you might be able to find an even better deal.

    Consider travelling overnight. Overnight flights often cost less than those at more convenient times.【4】 Depending on where you are going, and the options of how to get there, overnight travel can help you avoid a night in the hotel, as well as save your money on travel to your destination.

    【5】 You can’t bring liquids with you on the plane, but you can bring sandwiches and other snacks. When you’re on the road, you can buy food at local groceries to make your own meals. If you are staying in a hotel for a long time, consider cooking your own food, especially if you have access to a microwave.

    A. Bring your own food.

    B. Consider affordable accommodations.

    C. Booking earlier can also save your money.

    D. If you are flying, consider alternative airports.

    E. You also need to consider the days surrounding the holiday.

    F. A great deal of travel also takes place during this time of the year.

    G. Other alternatives include sleeper trains, as well as overnight ferries.

    【答案】

    【1】F

    【2】C

    【3】E

    【4】G

    【5】A

    【解析】

    本文是一篇说明文。本文介绍一些技巧，帮助你掌控旅行的费用：1.提前计划；2.在较便宜的日子预订机票；3.考虑通宵旅行；4.可以带你自己的食物。

    【1】根据前文The holiday season isn’t just about shopping and gifts.(假日季节不仅仅是购物和买礼物)中的not just可知，F项中的also与之形成递进含义。由此可知，F. A great deal of travel also takes place during this time of the year.(大量的旅行也发生在每年的这个时候)能够承接上文，符合文意。故选F。

    【2】根据小标题或主题句plan ahead, 更是出现了关键词book预定，由此可知，C. Booking earlier can also save your money.(提前预订也可以省钱)符合文意。故选C。

    【3】根据下文Days immediately before and after a holiday can be expensive. (假期前后几天的花费可能会很昂贵)可知，E. You also need to consider the days surrounding the holiday.(你还需要考虑假期前后的日子)符合文意。故选E。

    【4】本段的主题句：Consider traveling overnight.(考虑通宵旅行)，关键词是overnight。根据上句Overnight flights often cost less than those at more convenient times.(通宵航班的费用通常比在更方便的时间更低)，再根据空格下句Depending on where you are going, and the options of how to get there, overnight travel can help you avoid a night in the hotel, as well as save your money on travel to your destination.(根据你要去的地方，以及如何到达那里的选择，通宵旅行可以帮助你避免在酒店过夜，也可以节省前往目的地的费用)可知，G. Other alternatives include sleeper trains, as well as overnight ferries.(其他选择包括卧铺列车以及通宵渡轮)符合文意。故选G。

    【5】此处是一个小标题。根据下文You can't bring liquids with you on the plane, but you can bring sandwiches and other snacks.(在飞机上你不能随身携带液体，但是你能带三明治和一些甜食，在公路上你可以在当地的杂货店买一些吃的东西)，再根据小标题的特点，A. Bring your own food.(带你自己的食物)符合文意。故选A。

    关于小标题的选择：七选五题型空格的设计主要分布在句首、句中和句尾，另外一种就是小标题的空格设计。凡是作为标题的句子，一定要短小精悍，概括性强，通常使用祈使句。例如小题5小标题的选择就是根据前几个小标题可以判断，此处为动词开头的祈使句，再根据后文的内容就可以得出答案。

    【题目】 Jazz guitarist Joel Harrison came of age in 1960s and 70s' Washington, but he never saw it as a place to build a career as an adventurous, progressive musician. Everywhere he's gone, however, he's taken the sounds of the city with him.

    'Growing up in that area allowed me access to a lot of different kinds of music,' says Harrison, 61, who's now based in New York after living in Boston and San Francisco. 'Southern music traditions-old-time music, bluegrass, country as well as jazz and R&B.'

    All of those appear to some degree in Free Country, a project Harrison began in 2003 as a means of filtering (渗透) country and bluegrass compositions through a up-to-date jazz sound and sensibility. On his new album, 'Angel Band: Free Country Vol.3, 'Harrison, on guitar and vocals (演唱), and his band take on many traditional bluegrass songs. Each cut is really kind of its own, distinct sound world. Since Harrison released the first two Free Country albums, he has produced 14 other albums. The Free Country releases, though, have been his most successful, and established his reputation.

    In particular, Harrison drew inspiration from Danny Gatton, a D.C. guitar hero who similarly combines the local musical currents. Harrison was a self-described adorer of Gatton, going to attend his countless performances.

    Harrison is also a composer. His work, rooted in progressive Jazz but exploring multiple types, is often through-composed and highly complex. He received a Guggenheim scholarship in2010 to compose and record an, eight-movement piece. The tunes he plays with Free Country are simpler, based on conventions of folk and pop music — which, for Harrison, is a large part of their appeal.

    The music that he's covering timeless, and he aims to find endless currency in its timeless simplicity by maintaining me soul of the compositions and also adding a modern context and a modem language to it.

    【1】What exposed Harrison to various music?

    A.His growth environment.

    B.His current place of residence.

    C.His family background.

    D.Touring the country.

    【2】What do we know about Joel Harrison?

    A.He has released 14 albums in total so far.

    B.He showed a new jazz style in Free Country.

    C.He earned large profits by releasing Free Country.

    D.He was inspired to hold many performances by Gatton.

    【3】What's Harrison's goal of creating music?

    A.To put modern elements into the languages.

    B.To develop different styles based on previous jazz.

    C.To compose more pieces and release more albums.

    D.To seek great popularity in its permanent simplicity.

    Last Sunday I saw a worst storm in years. It came sudden and went on for over three hours. After lunch, I went into my room to have a rest. The air was hot, but all was quiet. Then a strong wind started to blow into my room. Pieces of paper on my desk flew high into the air and some flew out the open window. As I ran out to catch it, big drop of rain began to fall. When I come back into the house, it was raining more harder and harder. Then I heard a loud crashing sound from the back of the house. When I ran out to find out that had happened, a big tree had fallen down and broke the top of the backroom .

    【题目】请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

    Is youth lingo ruining the Chinese language?

    Young people often create their own language that goes beyond rigid linguistic rules. This year’s latest slang (俚语) terms add a further simplification: the use of pinyin acronyms (首字母缩略词). “Awsl,” in pinyin, for instance,means “Ah, wo si le” (Oh, I’m gonna die), and is used if something is too cute or adorable to bear. “Pyq” stands for “pengyou quan”, the social feed on the popular Chinese social media app WeChat, and “nsdd” stands for “ni shuo de dui” (you’re right).

    Teens want to be different from their parents, so it’s natural for them to create and use their own linguistic terms to show that. In doing so, young people are indeed driving linguistic change. They aren’t the only factor influencing language development, but they can indeed transform how future generations communicate.

    Critics fear that Chinese internet slang will have the potential to negatively influence broader linguistic trends of Mandarin Chinese, in particular, the gradual taking over of pinyin. As pinyin gets widely used when texting or writing on mobile phone or computer, while less and less people write characters by hand, people gradually forget how to write them. The phenomenon has got a name in China: Character amnesia(健忘症).

    （写作内容）

    1. 用约30个单词概述上文年轻人使用网络语言的现象；

    2. 用约120个单词发表你的观点，内容包括:谈谈你的看法，用23个理由或论据支撑你的看法。

    （写作要求）

    1. 写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；

    2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；

    3. 不必写标题。
