13．Some people will do just about anything to save money．And I am one of them．My family's last vacation was a good （1）D to prove it．It was my six-year-old son's winter break from school，and we were （2）B home from Fort Lauderdale after a week-long trip．The flight was  （3）A，and Delta，the airline，offered us﹩400per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day．I had meetings in New York，so I had to （4）C．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 （5）B to take an even later flight．Yes，I encouraged-okay，ordered-them to wait it out at the （6）D，to"earn"more Delta Dollars．Our total take：﹩1，600．Not bad，huh？

10．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．（36）D So it's best to find out when the off-season starts．
（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）G Instead，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．During the peak season，you'll be likely spend more of your vacation time and money due to the rush of tourists．
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．
17．When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah，he happened to live near a copper smelter（炼铜厂），and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest．One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area．Paul knocked him down．From then on，something happened inside him．
Years later Paul was back in the area，and he went to the smelter office．He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back．The answer from that big industry was"No．"
Paul then went to college to study the science of plants．Unfortunately，his teachers said there weren't any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds．It would be a waste of his life to try to do it．Everyone knew that，he was told．Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected，he wouldn't get his idea accepted．
Paul later got married and had some kids．But his dream would not die．And then one night he did what he could with what he had．As Samuel Johnson wrote，"It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote．Attainable good is often ignored by minds busied in wide ranges．"Under the cover of darkness，he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting．
And every week，he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass．For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense．Slowly rabbits appeared．Later，as there was legal（法律上的） pressure to clean up the environment，the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing．Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes，and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has．It took him until his hair turned white，but he managed to keep that impossible vow he made to himself as a child．

21．When Paul was a boy，D．
A．he had decided never to leave his hometown
B．the economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelter
C．no laws were made to protect the environment against pollution
D．he had determined to stop the copper smelter polluting the area
22．What does the underlined phrase"the plain common sense"probably refer to？A
A．That it was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland．
B．That his normal work and life would be greatly affected．
C．That no one would like to join him in the efforts．
D．That he had to keep everything he did secret．
23．Why did Paul go to college to study the science of plants？D
A．He wanted to find out the best way to save the area himself．
B．He was interested in planting trees since he was young．
C．He wanted to get more knowledgeable people to help him．
D．He thought his knowledge would make his advice more persuasive．
24．The message of the passage is thatA
A．action speaks louder than words
B．perseverance（坚持不懈） will work wonders
C．God helps those who help themselves

7．Science can't explain the power of pets，but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure （血压） and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack，reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer．
Any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings．For some，an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife．A  study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress （紧张） levels and blood pressure in people-half of them pet owners-while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic （算术） or held a hand in ice water．Subjects completed the tasks alone，with a husband/wife，a close friend or with a pet．People with pets did it best．Those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates．With pets in the room，people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions．It seems people feel more relaxed  around pets，says Allen，who thinks it may be because pets don't judge．
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits．Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs； a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program．On average，people lost about I1 pounds，or 5% of their body weight．Their dogs did even better，losing an average of 12 pounds，more than 15% of their body weight．Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but，say researchers，got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs-and found it worth doing．
28．What does the text mainly discuss？D
A．Pets'value in medical research．
B．How pets help people calm down．
C．People's opinions of keeping pets．
D．What pets bring to their owners．
29．We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting
well ifA．
A．he has a pet companion
B．he has less stress of work
C．he often does mental arithmetic
D．he is taken care of by his family
30．According to Allen，why did the people do better with pets around when doing stressful tasks？C
A．They have lower blood pressure．
B．They become more patient．
C．They are less nervous．
D．They are in higher spirits．
31．The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports thatA．
A．people with dogs did more exercise
B．dogs lost the same weight as people did
C．dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D．people without dogs found the program unhelpful．
14．Undoubtedly，everyone has one or more friends in his or her daily life．Someone may come across the fact（71）that one of his friends borrows some money from him but doesn't return （72）it in time．At this time，he must be faced with the question how （73）to ask （ask） his friend to return his money，（74）in person or by writing a letter？
If I were forced to choose one of the two，I would prefer （75）the latter．Once I received a letter from one of my friends（76）unexpectedly （unexpected），in which he asked me to return his money in a polite way．In my opinion，the letter doesn't hurt me．Instead，it helps me to get along with my friend （77）more closely （closely） than ever before．If I hadn't received his letter，it would（78）have ruined （ruin） our friendship only because of some money．
As far as I am concerned，everyone suffers （79）from the strain of modern life．If you drop in on your friend just because you want to get your money back，it will hurt your friend and obviously hurt your relationship．However，a kind letter not only can solve the problem （80）that/which upsets you，but also can further develop your relationship．
11．我从没想到他作为优等生居然考试不及格
