题目内容
【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的七个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 holiday season isn’t about shopping and gifts. 【1】 However, holiday travel can be more expensive than gifts. Fortunately, the following tips will help keep your travel spending under control.
Plan ahead. The earlier you book your travel, from airfare to hotels, the easier it is to find good deals. 【2】 Your best prices on airfare come when you book three weeks before the plane leaves for domestic(国内的) flights. For international flights, consider booking 30 days in advance. Many experts point out that you should book travel between one month and three months out for high-traffic holidays.
Book your air travel on cheaper days. Traveling by air on Tuesdays and Wednesdays often costs less than on Fridays and Sundays. During the holidays, it’s not just about a specific day of the week. You also need to consider the days surrounding the holiday but days immediately before and after a holiday can be expensive. One of the best ways to save is to plan your air travel on the day of the holiday. 【3】
Consider traveling overnight. Red-eye flights and overnight flights often cost less than those at more convenient times. 【4】 Traveling overnight can help you avoid a night in the hotel, as well as save your money on travel to your destination.
【5】 You can’t bring liquids with you on the airline, but you can bring sandwiches and other snacks. When you’re on the road, you can buy food at local groceries to make your own meals, especially if you have access to(可使用) a microwave.
A. Bring your own food.
B. Consider affordable accommodations.
C. Traveling by plane is not the best choice.
D. Plus, booking earlier can save your money.
E. For instance, traveling on Christmas Day might be a great deal.
F. A great deal of travel also takes place during this time of year.
G. Other choices include sleeper trains as well as overnight ferries.

【解析】
试题分析:本文介绍了一些节省旅行费用的技巧。
【1】F 根据上句:这个假日季不是购物和送礼物的日子。再根据下句:然而,假日旅行比礼物更昂贵。故F项“在每年的这个时候也有大量的旅行。”连接上下文。
【2】D 根据上句:你越早预订您的旅行,从机票到酒店,就越容易找到好的交易。以及下句:国内航线的机票最好的价格来自于飞机起飞前三个星期前预定。故D项“另外,提前预定可以节省你的钱。”连接上下文。
【3】E 根据上句:节约的最好的方法之一就是在假日那一天计划你的空中旅行。下面是举例说明。E项“比如,在圣诞节旅行可能是一个很划算的交易。”符合语境,故选E。
【4】G 根据上句:长途夜航航班和夜间航班往往比那些在方便时间的航班花费更少。空格下句:旅行过夜可以帮助你避免在酒店过夜,同时也节约票费。可知G项“其他选择包括卧铺列车以及通宵渡轮。”符合语境,故选G。
【5】A 此处是一个小标题。根据下文:在飞机上你不能随身携带液体,但是你能带三明治和一些甜食。在公路上你可以在当地的杂货店买一些吃的东西。故A项“带上你自己的食物。”符合本段内容。
【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的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。A strong memory depends on the health and vitality (活力) of your brain. They say that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn’t true. 【1】Give your brain a workout. Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”. The more you work out your brain, the better you’ll be able to process and remember information. 【2】 Don’t skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesn’t mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best. 【3】Keep stress in check. Stress is one of the brain’s worst enemies. Over time, stress destroys brain cells. Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.Have a laugh. 【4】 That holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain.【5】 Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. You probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory. For brain health, though, it’s not just what you eat—it’s also what you don’t eat.
A. Eat a brain-boosting diet. |
B. Play games with memory. |
C. Laughter is the best medicine. |
D. But oversleeping is not good for your brain. |
E. Even skipping a few hours makes a difference! |
F. You have to shake things up from time to time! |
G. The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change. |
