(2019·潍坊市统一考试)When traveling on a budget,every dollar counts. Unfortunately,the cost of tickets alone can make a serious hole in your savings.Don't let that stop you from taking your dream vacation,though.According to Jeff Klee,CEO of CheapAir.com,there is a “sweet spot” to get the biggest bang for your buck.
“The most important rule is fairly obvious: don't wait until the last minute,as that rarely works out,” he said in a statement.“But beyond that,you also want
14
to be careful not to buy too early.”
Still,that's easier said than done.Finding the most costefficient time to book is tough.Luckily,somebody did the math—so you don't have to.Data crunchers from the online travel agency CheapAir.com surveyed over 917 million fares to determine the day with the cheapest rates.
Here's what they found: while prices tend to stay the same between 320 and 106 days before a trip,they start dropping at the 105day mark.That said,you might be tempted to book the moment prices drop.But hold on! You'll save even more money by booking precisely 70 days before your trip.According to CheapAir.com,you can save 48 percent of the ticket's total cost by using this trick.After that date,airfares will begin to increase again.And don't even think about booking any later than 20 days ahead of time,as prices will be soaring.
So,what are you waiting for? Start planning your next dream vacation,and book accordingly.Your wallet will thank you—guaranteed.
【语篇解读】 本文介绍了购买便宜飞机票的方法和策略。

5.How much can the trick help us save if the ticket costs $400 totally?
A.$48. B.$192.
C.$208. D.$352.
B [数字计算题。根据第四段第五句“According to CheapAir.com,you can save 48 percent of the ticket's total cost by using this trick”,并结合题干可知,原价是400美元的飞机票总共可以节省:$400×48%=$192,故选B。]

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2019·郑州一中入学摸底测试)Teenagers are especially likely to suffer loneliness.Here are some suggestions for speeding a recovery from loneliness.
Reach out to others,but start small.A smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind you in line at the cafeteria won't make you best friends.__1__ It also can make it easier to interact the next time.
Find a safe place to make connections.If going to the school dance makes you feel like you just don't belong,try joining a specialinterest group.Maybe it's the drama club or the marching band.__2__
Find other ways of making connections.Lonely people hunger for acceptance and friendship.Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for others.__3__ Teach a child reading.Take notes for a disabled classmate.You might be surprised at the connections you make after reaching out to others in these ways.
__4__ Loneliness is an absence of quality friendships,not of a particular quantity of friends.That's why it's important to know how to select a friend.The best friendships are those based on similar values and attitudes.
You get what you expect,so expect the best.If you expect others to be friendly,you will behave in similar ways.
__5__ It goes away as teens learn how to find their way through their social world and connect with others.
A.But it will make you both feel pretty good.
B.So consider becoming a volunteer.
C.Some teens aren't so adaptable,however.
D.Encourage people to be friendlier to you.
E.Choose the right people.
F.For most young people,loneliness is only temporary.
G.Look for a group that allows you to ease gradually.
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了应对孤独的一些建议。
1.A [根据语境可知,空前一句和空后的“It also can make it easier to interact the next
14
time”存在逻辑上的转折关系,所以A项“但是它将使你们都感到很好”符合语境。]
2.G [根据上文“Find a safe place to make connections.If going to the school dance makes you feel like you just don't belong,try joining a specialinterest group”可推知,作者建议找一个让自己觉得舒服的团体,所以选G项。]
3.B [根据上文“Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for others”可知,帮助他人会让孤独者更易被接纳和喜欢。故B项“因此考虑做一名志愿者”衔接下文“Teach a child reading.Take notes for a disabled classmate”。]
4.E [根据下文“Loneliness is an absence of quality friendships,not of a particular quantity of friends.That's why it's important to know how to select a friend”可推知,选对朋友对孤独者尤其重要,他们缺的不是特定数量的朋友,而是高质量的友谊,所以选E项。]
5.F [由空后的“It goes away as teens learn how to find their way through their social world and connect with others”可推知,青少年的孤独是暂时的,随着他们学会如何通过社会阅历找到自己的道路和与他人建立关系,孤独就会不复存在,所以选F项。]

(2019·江西省三名校联考)A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to “read” human personalities.
The eyes,they say,are the windows to the soul.And if that is true,computers and robots powered by sophisticated (复杂的) artificial intelligence algorithms (演算法) may soon have the ability to peer_into your soul.That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality,conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.
“Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality,” wrote the researchers,led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher,whose team followed 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements,then determined their personality traits with “wellestablished questionnaires” for determining the personality type,according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.
The researchers fed the data into their AI algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately
14
determine a person's major personality traits,such as “neuroticism,extraversion (外向),agreeableness,conscientiousness,as well as curiosity”,the scientists wrote.
“The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other hightech devices,even robots,allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines,” Loetscher said.
“People are always looking for improved,personalized services.Today's robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to nonverbal information,” Loetscher said in a statement quoted by The Indian Express.This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural,and better at interpreting human social signals.
The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies,according to a summary in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了一项人工智能计算机和机器人通过读人眼球的运动从而一窥人的个性的研究。
1.What do the underlined words “peer into” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Understand. B.Stare at.
C.Search for. D.Concern about.

A.It was carried out in a lab.

(2019·大连市一模)It is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socioeconomic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system.In an attempt to help the children of poor families,a nationwide program called “Head Start” was started in the US in 1965.A lot of money was poured into it.It took children into preschool institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school.But the results have been disappointing,because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process.At the end of each day,“Head Start” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.
To improve the results,another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child's first teachers.This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life.The fouryear study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different socioeconomic statuses,ages and family structures.The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child.The program also gave the parents some guidance,and useful skills on child development.
At three,the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same socioeconomic backgrounds and family situations.The results were obvious.The children in the program were more advanced in language development,problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers.They performed equally well regardless of socioeconomic backgrounds or family
14
structures. The one factor that was found to affect the child's development was the poor quality of parentchild interaction.That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.
The “Missouri” program compares quite distinctly with the “Head Start” program. Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years,some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.
【语篇解读】 本文主要通过对比两项侧重点不同的教育项目表明:要实现教育公平就应该关注对父母的教育,使其与孩子之间进行高品质互动,并且意识到孩子出生后前三年的重要性。
5.What caused the failure of the “Head Start” program?
A.The large number of poor families.
B.The disapproval from children.
C.The late start of the program.
D.The long period of time.
C [细节理解题。根据第一段第五句“But the results have been disappointing,because the program began too late”可知,Head Start项目的失败是因为其开始得太晚了。]
6.What do we know about the “Missouri” program?
A.It focused on the children's first school teachers.
B.It helped the children return to the same home.
C.It made the children improved in many aspects.
D.It gave the parents advice on their development.
C [推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“The children in the program were more advanced in language development,problem solving and other intellectual skills than their peers”可推知,Missouri项目让参与的孩子们在许多方面都有改善。]
7.According to the passage,what is likely to influence children's performance?
A.The number of family members.
B.The parentchild communication.
C.The intelligence of their parents.
D.The teacherstudent relationship.
B [细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句“The one factor that was found to affect the child's development was the poor quality of parentchild interaction”可知,父母和孩子之间的交流质量是影响孩子发展的因素之一。故选B。]
14
8.How does the author develop the passage?
A.By listing figures.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By presenting ideas.
D.By drawing conclusions.
B [篇章结构题。通读全文内容可知,本文是通过对比两个侧重点不同的教育项目, 从而组织文章的,故选B。]
Ⅱ.完形填空
(2019·福州市质量抽测)Growing up in the 1960s, I was taught from an early age to send a handwritten thankyou note expressing __1__ for kindness. My mother used to buy me a box of paper and __2__ me in the art and value of saying “thank you”. She proved to be right.
A study showed that it took less than 5 minutes to write the thankyou notes. Just 5 minutes to make __3__ person feel overjoyed! __4__, in our “instant” world, the idea of getting an actual pen and writing an actual note seems to never come to mind. We tend to do what is __5__ for us—a quick text or an email.
It's easy to use the excuse of being busy, but even very busy and __6__ businessmen find time to __7__ thankyou notes. For example, when Douglas Conant became CEO of Campbell's, the company had lost half of its market value and morale(士气) was at an alltime low. He __8__ fixing that by doing some simple things that are probably not __9__ in any MBA class. For one thing, Conant wrote to every __10__. He gained their confidence and naturally, turned the company __11__.
In his ten years as CEO, Conant wrote over 30,000 notes to employees. It's __12__ not to ask how he did it. __13__, he had many other things to do besides writing a thankyou note. Conant made time for __14__ because he knew the impact(影响) each one would have. An expression of __15__ in this crazy world still makes a difference.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。小时候,妈妈教“我”用手写的感谢便条来表达对善良的感激,并教“我”表达感谢的艺术和价值;研究表明,不到五分钟就能用手写好的感谢便条让他人感到快乐。
