Today’s travelers may explore faraway cultures and countries by booking a round-the-world (RTW) trip through a global airline alliance (联盟). If you’re planning an extended business trip, a long vacation, or a year off, an RTW airline fare may be just the ticket.
RTW tickets can be purchased in economy, business class, and sometimes first class, depending on the alliance. Ticket prices can range from approximately $2,500 to $23,000, depending on class of service, mileage, routing(路线), and number of stops. They typically average between $3,000 and $5,000, although a simple two-or-three-stop RTW ticket might cost as little as $1, 500. Booking an RTW ticket through a global airline alliance allows you to piece together routes on member airlines to create one continuous trip.
Where to begin? Here are some tips:
●Start planning at least six months in advance to ensure the routes you want are available.
●To save on costs, visit destinations in their off seasons.
●If you fly west to east, your flights will be speedier due to tailwinds.
●If you plan to travel extensively within a continent, you can combine your RTW ticket with an airline alliance’s regional travel passes.
●You can often save a significant amount by originating your RTW trip in a country outside the U.S.
The alliances have various price tiers. The SkyTeam global airline alliance, for example, allows you fly up to 26,000 miles with as many as five stopovers of 24 hours or more. Fly between 29,000 and 38,000 miles, and you can stop over up to 15 times. You can plot your journey with SkyTeam’s “Round the World” planner or call a member airline for assistance.
Sometimes RTW tickets are discounted. SkyTeam, for instance, recently offers 10% off RTW, economy- class ticket. Check SkyTeam’s website for current offerings.
1.What can we know about an RTW trip through a global airline alliance?
A. It is only intended for international trade.
B. Its price is fixed according to class of service.
C. The lowest price of an RTW ticket is $1,500.
D. Customers can choose their routes and stops.
2.Which of the following is NOT a tip recommended by the author?
A. Plan your trip in advance.
B. Never include the U.S. in your trip.
C. Visit destinations in their off seasons.
D. Combine an RTW ticket with regional travel passes.
3.The SkyTeam global airline alliance recently offers customers ________.
A. unlimited-stopover trips B. only economy-class tickets
C. a discount on certain tickets D. a new website for assistance

The fact that ants are fascinating insects has been known for some time. Now, scientists have discovered a large number of wood ants living in an abandoned underground storehouse in Templewo, Poland, despite having no obvious source of food.
Polish zoologist Wojciech Czechowski and his team began studying the underground colony in 2013. They found the ants built a 60-cm high nest in the soil directly over the storehouse vertical air pipe. As years passed, the metal covering on the pipe eroded, leaving behind a hole that thousands of worker ants accidentally slip into each day as they go about their daily chores. The scientists say that there are no sources of food in the storehouse. This means that the insects live in a state of near starvation.
In July 2015, the researchers disturbed part of the ant nest in search of larvae (幼虫), cocoons(茧), and queens. They found nothing, leading them to suspect that the lack of food and cold temperatures made reproduction impossible and that the group tending the nest is entirely made up of non-reproductive female workers. Their population is refilled every year, by a new rain of unfortunate ants that slide down the hole. The researchers say that when they returned in January 2016, the nest had been repaired. It appears that despite the terrible conditions, the worker ants do not stop constructing their nest.
Wood ants are known for their ability to adapt to bad living conditions. In this case, the millions of worker ants trapped in the storehouse have no choice. But instead of losing hope, they are making the best of the situation—a classic example of “when life gives you lesions make lemonade.”
1.How did the wood ants arrive in the storehouse?
A. They fell down there by accident.
B. The research team brought them there.
C. The storehouse builders left them there.
D. They were attracted by the environment.
2.What does the underlined word “eroded” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Expanded. B. Rotted. C. Exploded. D. Melted.
3.What did the researchers find in the nest?
A. Larvae. B. Cocoons. C. A queen. D. Worker ants.
4.Why did the population of wood ants remain steady?
A. They had enough food.
B. They were able to reproduce.
C. They adapted to the conditions.
D. They had new comers to join them.

Visitors to the grounds of New College at England’s Oxford University pass under an iron gate with the advice: Manners make the man. Even after an appropriate update to: Manners make the person, it’s thought-provoking(引人深思的)—especially to today’s Americans.
When we think about what makes the person—it’s more likely the degree, the job, the salary. Since when do we count manners as a measure of success?
We do know that these would make life nicer, if more tolerable. Nevertheless, we forget or overlook our manners. So it seems, does everyone else—including, unluckily, our children.
As a university president, one of my great joys is to visit our campuses and see our students though we’re separated by different generations, interests, and, of course dressing, each student tells me something within the first few minutes that we meet: whether he or she has been taught manners. I sense this in different ways: through her words or her gestures, in the way she listens or how he refers to friends and faculty, how she greets and says goodbye, how he responds when an elderly person enters the room.
In the absence of manners, however, I make some allowances. For instance, the many ethnic(种族的)groups that students represent often have different explanations of what makes up good manners. In other cases, some students may reject what they’ve learned to break from their parents and be accepted by other students. Whether students are being different or openly opposing, a recent experience I had with them tells me that there’s some hope for reviving and good manners.
Good manners don’t just guarantee acceptance. Good manners open doors to deeper connections and more meaningful roles in our society. Good manners are gentle signals that show we care about one another and allow us to relate to another person in a thoughtful way but at a respectable distance.
1.Which of the following is seldom a mark of success to people today?
A. Handsome income. B. Polite behavior.
C. An academic degree. D. High ranks in the office
2.The main idea of paragraph 4 is more likely that ________.
A. manners can be taught in different ways
B. how the president of New College cares about his students
C. generation gap does exist between students and faculty members
D. what students say and do can indicate if they have mannered behavior
3.From the last paragraph we can learn that the biggest benefit by good manners would be that ________.
A. good manners guarantee acceptance of others
B. good manners inspire students to study harder
C. good manners help deeper connections with others
D. good manners guarantee students to get whatever they want

I believe I’ve gotten this more than once. One lady told me she thought I was 12 and even told her 14-year-old daughter the same. I saw lots of surprised faces because people were told I was actually 19 years old.
I’m actually 19 years old, which isn’t much of a problem. I’m like the oldest of my friends and the shortest, which is pretty funny. That’s probably one of the reasons I 
fit in so well with them.
I volunteered at a weekend school teaching young children. Parents always looked me up and down like “why is this 13-year-old girl teaching my child?!??!?” I guessed it was because I’m also petite(娇小)，and I didn’t know whether I had a childish face…??? Sometimes I found it funny, sometimes I found it annoying(令人气恼). But I just shrugged(耸肩)it off at last. You know, soon enough people got to know me and then realized I was not actually a 13-year-old girl.
This short thing used to be a problem for me, though. I was very very small when I was younger, so kids would pick on me. When I was 12, 8-year-old girls would look down at me like “I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU ’RE TWELVE!” I had always wanted to be tall．But now that I'm older, I got used to it, and I actually love it．You know, I'm fun sized!
1.How old is the writer now?_______.
A. 12 B. 13 C. 14 D. 19
2.Many people felt surprised when told the writer’s age because they thought she ________．
A. was certainly over 19 B. should be only 12
C. was 13 D. was over 14
3.Which of the following words can’t be used to describe（描绘） the writer?_______.
A. short B. petite C. childish D. tall
4.The underlined phrase “pick on” means _______.
A. like very much B. help friendlily
C. behave to unkindly D. enjoy very much
5.How does the writer feel when others say she is 12?_______.
A. Not surprised B. Annoying C. Angry D. Sad
