In order to truly spend less on travel, try to travel in the off- season. Flights can be up to 60 percent off depending on the season, and you will still get the experience of a new place. Check Flights in the Middle of the Week Flights are usually cheaper bought in the middle of the week than during the weekend. Travel sites are basically tracking your every move in order to maximize profits. And most people are searching during the weekend，so do your searching during lunch breaks to save some bucks. Stay with Friends, Family, or a Stranger Instead of wasting money on a hotel, use your network to save money. Ask your friends or family to live with them when traveling where they live, or even ask if they know someone in the area. If you are really adventurous, there are sites that will hook you up with a hospitable stranger. Try couchsurfing. com! Call Hotels There are an unbelievable number of hotel booking websites. But it is a lesser known fact that calling the hotel directly can give you the best deal. Instead of spending countless hours searching for the best deal, and being subject to price hikes from clicks, call the hotel directly. The hotel booking agent can probably get you the best deal, as they will be saving money on the payout from the booking site. Try a Travel Agent Using a travel agent has a very 1990s_feel to it. With all the available information put out on websites these days, travel agents are usually an afterthought. But calling the right one with good connections can surprise you, as agents are given deals and discounts unavailable to regular people. 21．Which of the following is recommended according to the passage? A．Traveling during major holidays. B．Searching for flights as early as possible. C．Booking a hotel from clicks on websites. D．Seeking help from a professional travel agent. 2 22．From the website couchsurfing. com, you can probably get ________. A．some free services B．shopping guidance C．a local family to host you D．information about the destination 23．The underlined “1990s feel ” means an idea that is quite ________ here. A．outdated B．ridiculous C．foolish D．common B Dwight Morrow was a famous banker and diplomat ( 外交官 ) of America in the 20th century. Once, Morrow travelled in Rugby, England after working there for a period of time. During this period, he left the station nearby to enjoy the scenery there. After walking for a while, he found he couldn't find his way back. He felt worried, so he asked a local boy who was passing by him for the way. The boy told him, “Turn right from here until you see a grocery store and then turn left from there. Go straight on and you will find a place with a four-street crossroads ... ” With that, the boy thought for a while and went on to say, “When you get there, you are not far from the station. Then you'd better ask someone else. Even if I tell you now, you may not remember when you get there. ” Following the boy's directions, Morrow got to the four-street crossroads pretty soon, and then asked a passerby there and quickly turned back to the station where he began. This was a small matter but it had a big influence on Morrow. He told people about this experience many times in his later life and even wrote about it in one of his books. Morrow realized that each person's ability is limited and many problems cannot be solved in one day. Thus, we must act step by step and reach our goals gradually. 24．What happened to Morrow during his stay in Rugby? A．He enjoyed travelling by train. B．He made friends with a local boy. C．He lost his way at a four-street crossroads. D．A local boy guided him part of the way to the station. 25．According to the boy's directions, after Morrow got to the grocery store, he should ________. A．go straight B．turn left C．cross the street D．turn right 26．Morrow's experience of asking for directions can be best described as ________. A．upset B．instructive C．confusing D．complex 3 27．What's the best title of the text? A．Don't Count on Asking the Way Once B．Don't be Afraid of Losing the Way C．Learn to Manage on Your Own D．Morrow's Unusual Experience C Technology is forever changing the way we get our news. Most people now get a lot of their news on electronic devices, instead of traditional media, such as newspapers, television or radio. An increasing number of people also report turning to social media for information. Now, there is a new technology that could greatly change the way we get the news: computer-created news readers. China has launched what it called the world's first artificial intelligence, or AI news presenters. The news readers, supported by machine learning technology, are based on two real-life Chinese newsmen. One is able to present news broadcast in English; the other，in Mandarin Chinese. A report said machine learning was used to examine video images and sounds of the two newsmen. Similar technology has been used to create video products known as “deepfake videos ”. A deepfake video is a video that looks real, but was electronically changed. Such videos can make people appear to say things they never said. It's said that the AI presenters will be a great improvement to the news team because they “can work 24 hours a day ” on its website and on social media. One of the presenters even promised to “work tirelessly ” to keep people informed. Some machine learning experts said the system showed off China's latest progress in voice recognition, text-to-speech technology and data analysis. Others wondered about the effects robots might have on employment and workers. Some people argued that only low- level jobs requiring heavy labor will be easily replaced by robots. Others praised the technology as a way for companies to make money from low-cost labor machines. Anyway, for its great potential, some businesses have experimented with similar technology for possible use in news operations. 28．People now get information mainly from ________. A．electronic devices B．traditional media C．social media D．AI news presenters 29．The author mentioned “deepfake ” in Paragraph 3 because ________. A．it was also artificial B．it was also developed by China C．it also used machine learning technology D．it also gained popularity and recognition 30．What can we know about AI news presenters? 4 A．AI news presenters can only “speak” one language. B．Not all the people are in favor of AI news presenters. C．AI news presenters will soon replace human news readers. D．AI news presenters can reflect the improvement in robot making. 31．What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph? A．Further research on the technology. B．Other advantages of the technology. C．Principles the technology is based on. D．Examples the technology is applied to. D When Emma Yang was 8, her grandmother became increasingly forgetful. Over the next few years, those memory problems caused by early Alzheimer's disease (阿尔茨海默病 ) worsened. Yang, who learned to code at an early age, decided to create an app to help. “I have personal experience with how the disease can affect not only the patient, but also family and friends. When I was about 11 or 12, I got really interested in using technology for social good to help other people around the world, ” says Yang, who is now 14. In her app under development, called Timeless, Alzheimer's patients can scroll through (上下滚动 ) photos of friends and family, and the app will tell them who the people are and how they're related to the patient. If a patient doesn't recognize people in the same room, they can take a picture and the technology will also try to recognize them. The app also includes a simple contacts screen that shows photos of family members along with names. If a patient tries to call a contact repeatedly—something that can sometimes happen because of the disease—the app will show a quick reminder: “Are you sure you want to call? You just called less than five minutes ago. ” A “me” page shows the patient's own name, age, phone number, and address. The app is still in development, and Yang doesn't yet have evidence that it will work. But she is optimistic that it can help, especially if introduced to someone in the early stages of the disease. Katherine Possin, an associate professor at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center，agrees, “It can be hard for somebody who has a lot of memory problems to learn a new technology. ” Possin says, “But if somebody is in the early stages of the disease, and if the app is simple enough, it's possible that they can learn to use it through repetition and practice. ” 32．Why did Emma Yang come up with the idea of creating the app? A．Because she decided to develop some codes. B．Because she suffered from Alzheimer's disease. C．Because she was inspired by her grandma's case. D．Because she wished to use technology to help people. 5 33．According to Emma Yang, what can the app do? A．Scroll through photos. B．Make a phone call. C．Contact family members. D．Remind personal information. 34．What do we know about the app? A．It works well. B．It is convenient. C．It is under research. D．It has good memory. 35．What's Katherine Possin's attitude to the app? A．Favorable. B．Doubtful. C．Critical. D．Concerned. 第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) You've no doubt heard “less is more ” over and over again. Less is better because it is good for your waistline (腰围 ). But in some areas of our lives, we can benefit from “more” instead of “less ”. __36__ Give more. If you see something beautiful in someone, say it.

Speaking of encouragement, who could use your support right now? __38__ Someone who is struggling? Reach out! You'll be fond of what you did. __39__ When we push back against things we don't want (“I can't believe Catherine copied my clothes again！” ), our resistance still holds us close to the thing that hurts us.

Proverbs are most impressive because they express a lot of informations in just a few words. A good proverb sums up ideas what are sometimes hard to express. And the person listening immediately understands it. Proverbs come ordinary people and famous people. These two sources are not always difference. Common and popular wisdom has often been used by famous people. And something said or writing down by well-known people have often been borrowed by the common man. For an example, “Bad news travels fast ” probable comes from the experience of housewives. We used proverbs everywhere in the world. If we can understand a culture's proverbs, you can better understand the culture itself.
