18.With the summer holiday just around the corner,it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations.Here are some tips that can help you enjoy your holiday without emptying your pocket:
Travel off-season
Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts.During the peak season,the hotel and flight prices increase quickly,and you'll likely spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists.(36)D
(37)A
Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms.Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding.Stay with the locals.If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period,renting a small apartment is a good choice.
Eat like a local
Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new(38)EDuring your family trip,try new food where the locals eat.This will not just save money,but also provide you with a new and different experience.For smaller meals and snacks,avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeout.
Don't hesitate to bargain
Tourist-heavy places are known for overcharging for just about everything.Clothes,travel goodies,souvenirs,etc.are very expensive at these places.(39)FBargain hard to get the best price.
Choose local transportation
(40)GInstead,take buses,railways or subways,which are always cheaper.If you are planning to stay for a while,you can consider renting a car.Hiring a car is much easier than carrying your bags everywhere if you are moving around a lot.

A.Save on hotels.
B.Surf the Internet while traveling.
C.Therefore,avoid buying anything there.
D.So it's best to find out when the off-season starts.
E.Planning your meals is another way to reduce your travel costs.
F.For this reason,you shouldn't feel ashamed to ask for bargains.
G.As a tourist,avoid taking taxis whenever possible,since they are expensive.

分析 本文介绍了在旅行中省钱的几个方法.第一,在淡季出去旅行;第二,通过网络预订酒店;第三,吃当地的食材,当地的饭菜;第四,敢于讨价还价;第五,选择公共交通工具.

解答 36-40DAEFG
36.D 考查主旨大意.根据本段的小标题"Travel off-season"可知,最好在旅游淡季出去旅行.故本题选D.
37.A 考查主旨大意.根据后面的"Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms",可知本段主要讲述,如何减少旅游中酒店方面的花费.故本题选A.
38.E 考查上下文联系.根据后面的内容"try new food where the locals eat.This will not just save money",尝试吃当地的饭菜,这样可以省钱.所以对你的三餐进行规划是另一种减少旅行费用的方式.故本题选E.
39.F 考查上下文联系.根据后面的"Bargain hard to get the best price"可知,作者建议买东西时要讨价还价,你不应该因此感到羞愧.故本题选F.
40.G 考查上下文联系.根据后面的对比"Instead,take buses,railways or subways,which are always cheaper",坐公共汽车、铁路或地铁会更便宜,可知作者不建议坐出租车,因为打的太费钱了.故本题选G.

点评 七选五"这样的题型,主要目的在于"考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握.解题时最主要的两个步骤就是1.理清文章的逻辑和结构,2.在所给的原文中找出关键词或者说是线索词.文章的整体思路能帮助你在答案中筛选出符合逻辑的选项,关键词则能帮助你确定更多的细节,排除相近的选项.这些技巧多练练就能孰能生巧.

8.Thousands of years ago,people killed the wild horses that lived around them for food.Over time,people began to catch the animals and raise them.(36)B
(37)A For example,people may have chosen to keep horses that had a gentle personality so they could be ridden more easily.People who used horses to pull heavy loads would have chosen to keep stronger animals.Characteristics like strength are partly controlled by the animals'genes.(38)D Each new generation of horses would show more of these chosen characteristics.
Modern day horse breeds come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.This variety didn't exist in the horse population before domestication(驯养).The Shetland horse is one of the smallest breeds-typically reaching only one meter tall.(39)F Huge horses like the Clydesdale came on the scene around 300hundred years ago.People bred these heavy,tall horses to pull large vehicles used for carrying heavy loads.
(40)C For example,horses were important tools in the advancement of modern agriculture.Using them to pull ploughs and carry heavy loads allowed people to farm more efficiently.Riding horses allowed people to travel far greater distance in much less time.

A.As people began to tame and ride horses,they chose to keep those animals that had more desirable
characteristics.
B.This was the first step in domestication.
C.The domestication of horses has had great effects on societies.
D.So as the domesticated horses reproduced,they passed the characteristics on to their young.
E.We know that all over the world there are so many horses.
F.With short,strong legs,the animals were bred to pull coal out of mine shafts(矿井)with low ceilings.
G.What do you order your horse to do?
9.A few years ago,I took a sightseeing trip to Washington D.C.I saw many of our nation's treasures,and I also saw a lot of unfortunate people like beggars and homeless folks(人们)in the streets.
Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center,I heard a voice say,"Can you help me?"When I turned around,I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended(伸出).In a natural reaction,I reached into my pocket,pulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand.I didn't even look at her.I was annoyed(生气) at being bothered(烦) by a beggar.
But the blind woman smiled and said,"I don't want your money.I just need help finding the post office."
Immediately,I realized what I had do ne.I acted with prejudice(偏见)-I judged another person simply for what I thought she was.
The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant.I left Honduras and arrived in America at the age of 15.Through the years,I have been a dishwasher,cashier,mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other jobs,and finally I became a network engineer.
In my own life,I have experienced many open acts of prejudice.I remember a time,at age 17-I was a busboy,and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well at school,he would end up like me.
But now,living in my American middle-class lifestyle,it is too easy to forget my past,to forget who I am and where I have been,and to lose sight of where I want to be going.That blind woman on the street of Washington D.C.cured(治愈) me of my blindness.She reminded me to always keep my eyes and heart open.

13.A good laugh is like a mild workout.It exercises the muscles,gets the blood flowing,decreases blood pressure and improves sleep patterns and the immune system.(36)E
•Don't take life too seriously.We all have obstacles in life and we all make mistakes.( 37)BIn fact,if you can laugh lightheartedly at your own fault,you'll find that you give yourself that extra happiness and confidence increase that can get you over any obstacle.
•Find the humor in a bad situation.Sure,there are some situations where you are really sad.( 38)CThe next time you feel the stress levels rising,take a minute to think about the funny side of the situation and laugh over the things you cannot control.This will lower your blood pressure,blood sugar levels and heart rate.
•Remind yourself of funny moments from the past.Perhaps a friend told you a great joke the other day or your children or pets did something amusing.( 39)GSometimes just reliving a funny moment can cause the endorphins (内啡肽),natural painkillers,to kick in.
(40)DAs the saying goes,laughter is contagious (会传染的).So make a point of seeking out positive people who aren't afraid to laugh at themselves and are good at finding humor in life's situations.Young children are especially skilled at finding laughter and joy in everyday moments.

10.Being in a negative space is harmful to our overall well-being.Let's give up some of the most common negative thoughts many of us repeat to ourselves.
●(36)A
Even if you find yourself lacking in something,there's no need to keep repeating it to yourself.The human brain is an unbelievable thing.Be inspired by Dr.Jill Bolte Taylor,who took eight years to recover from her illness and has since then written a best-selling book about her experience and appeared on Oprah.
●No one cares about me.
To accurately say that your family and friends don't care about you would be a very rare situation.Maybe you're being too negative and overlooking the gestures of love they show you.They don't even have to be big gestures,but it's the little things they did for you that count.(37)EStart showing people you care,so they can show you back in kind.
●I really dislike this person.
If you dislike a person,focusing on his had qualities is not going to make things better.You need to know that he is human too,which means he makes mistakes.(38)FFocus on his good qualities,and repeat them to yourself.
●Why is he better off?.
(39)DThere's always going to be someone who is younger,prettier,smarter,or richer than you.Remember,there are people who are also worse off than you and what they don't have is your whole package.(40)B

B.Be grateful for what you have.
C.You think you won't be able to"get there".

F.Learn to approach him or think about him in a positive manner.

6.Teenagers will be told to‘stand up for their elders'on public transport-or risk losing their right to (68)C travel.
London Mayor Boris Johnson will unveil plans today to make youngsters sign a‘courtesy pledge'(礼仪宣言) to promise to behave in a (69)D manner when travelling in the capital.
The three-point pledge states that they will give up their seats to the elderly,pregnant and disabled; avoid using (70)B or threatening language; and be courteous and polite to fellow passengers and staff.
Those who refuse,or are caught behaving in a loutish manner,will have their free travel passes (71)D.
The plan-a key part of Mr.Johnson's re-election bid-will (72)D affect the 400,000 11-to-15-year-olds in London who (73)B free travel cards,but Tory sources believe the idea could be used across the country.
A Conservative insider said:‘The (74)D matches perfectly with the push to create a Big Society.It is about changing culture and expectations around behavior to improve the(75)A on buses and trains for everyone.'
Speaking before today's launch,Mr.Johnson said he was determined to(76)B the anti-social behavior of a‘minority of youngsters'on public transport.
‘When I was a boy,I was taught to stand up for those less able to,'he said,‘Youngsters enjoy the privilege of free travel,which is paid for by Londoners,but they have to understand that with that privilege comes(77)D.Anyone who abuses this privilege will have it taken away,and will have to earn that right back.'
Teenagers found (78)C a serious breach(违反) of the new behavior code will lose their travel passes,and will have to carry out unpaid community work to have them(79)B.
Mr.Johnson is also introducing a‘two strikes and you're out'policy to deal with offenders,under which those committing a second serious breach of the code will lose their travel rights (80)B.
The move follows an earlier initiative of Mr Johnson's that banned the(81)D of alcohol on public transport in the capital,which is credited with helping to(82)C crime rates on buses and trains.
