And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six-year-old son’s winter break form school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a week-long trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York, so I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.‎ The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?‎ Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.‎ I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing （揭露） the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of ‎ books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.‎ I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.‎ ‎21. Why did Delta give the author's family credits?‎ A. They had early bookings. B. They took a later flight. ‎ C. Their flight had been delayed. D. Their flight had been cancelled.‎ ‎22. What can we learn about the author?‎ A. She is interested in cheap products. B. She seldom makes a compromise（折衷）.‎ C. She is very strict with her children. D. She rarely misses a good deal.‎ ‎23. What does the author do?‎ A. She's a teacher. B. She's a housewife. ‎ C. She's a businesswoman. D. She's a media person. ‎ ‎24. What does the author want to tell us?‎ A. How to spend money wisely. B. How to reserve airline seats.‎ C. How to expose bad tricks. D. How to make a business deal.‎ B It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商) follow certain uniform standards for different features of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard used for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s from the left. Considering most of the world’s population---men and women---are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense（更有道理） for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?‎ History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men’s shirts button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword（剑） drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.‎ Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once it is set, resists change. At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women’s shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.‎ ‎25. What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?‎ A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years. ‎ B. It is different for men’s clothing and women’s.‎ C. It woks better with men than with women. ‎ D. It fails to consider right-handed people.‎ ‎26. What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?‎ A. They tended to wear clothes without buttons. B. They drew their swords from the left.‎ C. They were mostly dressed by servants. D. They were interested in the historical matters.‎ ‎27. Women’s clothes still button from the left today because .‎ A. customs are hard to change B. manufacturers should follow standards C. modern women dress themselves D. using men’s style is improper for women ‎28. The passage is mainly developed by .‎ A. analyzing causes B. making comparisons ‎ C. examining differences D. following the time order C I know what you’re thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to. ‎ ‎　　I know lots of women who skip breakfast, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it . Some say they don’t have time. others think they’re “saving” calories, still others just don’t like breakfast food . ‎ ‎　　But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R., D., who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece. ‎ ‎　　Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University‎ of ‎Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal. ‎ ‎　　So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast at all, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers---it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects. 　　 ‎ ‎29. What can we infer from the text? ‎ ‎　　A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry. ‎ ‎　　B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast. ‎ ‎　　C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal. ‎ ‎　　D. Eating vegetables helps save energy. ‎ ‎30. According to the last paragraph, it is important to____________. ‎ A. eat something for breakfast B. be careful about what you eat ‎ C. heat up food before eating it D. eat calorie-controlled food ‎ ‎31. The text is written mainly for those_____________. ‎ A. who go to work early B. who stay up late C. who want to lose weight D. who eat before sleep ‎ D Far from the land of Antarctica (南极洲), a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.‎ For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer.‎ Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fish’s blood and measured its freezing point.‎ The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -1.88°C and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to ‎-2.05°C. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.‎ The scientists’ next research job was clear: Find out what in the fish’s blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein (蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point.‎ Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules（分子）held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content, it is called ‎ a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein, or AFGP.‎ ‎32. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. The terrible conditions in the Antarctic.‎ B. A special fish living in freezing waters.‎ C. The ice shelf around Antarctica.‎ D. Protection of the Antarctic cod.‎ ‎33. Why can the Antarctic cod live at the freezing temperature?‎ A. A special protein keeps it from freezing.‎ B. It loves to live in the ice-salt mixture C. The seawater has a temperature of -1.88°C.‎ D. Its blood has a temperature lower than -2.05°C.‎ ‎34. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?‎ A. A type of ice-salt mixture. B. Sugar molecule.‎ C. Fish blood. D. A newly found protein.‎ ‎35. What does “glyco-” in the underlined word “glycoprotein” in the last paragraph mean?‎ A. ice B. sugar C. blood D. molecule 第二节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分）‎ ‎ 根据短文内容，从其后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ The benefits of keeping a journal (日志)‎ If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me.    36    Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal.‎ ‎◆ It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down?    37    But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.‎ ‎◆ It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten.    38    You can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward.‎ ‎◆    39    After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.‎ ‎◆ It helps you expand（扩展） your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it.    40    In the end, you will expand your ideas.‎ A. I often experienced that myself.‎ B. It trains you to express your thoughts.‎ C. It allows you to see your progress over time.‎ D. Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.‎ E. Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.‎ F. And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it.‎ G. Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes.‎ 三、英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节　完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）‎ Children find meanings in their old family tales. ‎ When Stephen Guyer’s three children were growing up, he told them stories about how his grandfather, a banker, 41 all in the 1930s, but did not lose sight of what he valued most.
