This is an old tip but still valid because most US carriers continue to release sales on Tuesday morning, and competitors quickly drop their fares to match the better deals. When to flyWeekdays continue to be generally cheaper times to fly than weekends for most flights. In the US specifically the cheapest days are typically Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. A good itinerary for the expensive US spring break travel period is Tuesday to Saturday; it wont be cheap exactly, but it will save you money (in most cases) over weekend-to-weekend travel. Direct vs. connecting flightsCompare the price of direct with connecting fights. Sometimes adding a stop to your route will save you money, and it might be enough to endure the extra-long flying day. Some examples;Boston to Seattle :$247 direct, $234 one-stopSan Francisco to Raleigh/Durham: $553 direct, $362 one-stopOkay, the savings on Boston-Seattle might not be worth it to you, but Ill bet youll think twice about the direct fight for San Francisco to Raleigh. Compare, compare, compareStifle the impulse to go to your favorite airline site to purchase tickets without doing any comparison; its a recipe for disaster. Example: Lets say you want to fly from New York to London and figure your favorite US legacy carrier will get you there for the best price. Airline price: $554 round-tripComparison price: $486Obviously, the legacy carrier did not have the cheapest flight, but wait, theres more: The comparison site also showed a cheaper flight from the same legacy carrier ($521). See what youre missing when you fail to compare?21. The best price for flights within the US could most possibly be found on .A. Monday morningB. Tuesday afternoonC. Thursday morningD. Sunday morning22. Ticket buyers are advised to .A. choose direct flights rather than connecting onesB. take the cheapest deal from their favorite airlineC. look for flight deals to Europe throughout the summerD. avoid weekend-to-weekend flights in holiday seasons23. The underlined phrase “stifle the impulse” probably means “ .”A. feel free to do somethingB. hold off on doing somethingC. get well prepared for somethingD. make quick decisions about somethingBI first began experiencing anxiety and depression at the age of 14, after being bullied(欺凌)at school for years. While at first anxiety and depression would come and go, it eventually became a constant part of my life. I was so eager to find the solution to overcoming my anxiety and depression that I tried everything from when I was in college to graduate school: mood-changing medication, special teas, yoga, anything I read about in books, and advice give by doctors.

This was my new beginning.Its been more than a year since that day, and Ive never spent another morning unable to get out of bed.

But with Buddy, my best friend, by my side, Ive finally learned how to manage these feelings and emotions. 24.

Some of us climb into bed in the early evening, and the next thing we know, its 2 in the morning and were sill staring at he ceiling. Its common knowledge that sleep problems can be caused by things such as stress, anxiety, or even using a smart phone before bedtime. But recently, a team of researchers discovered that genes could also be a cause of sleepless nights. The scientists, from Rockefeller University in New York, US, found that delayed sleep phase disorder( DSPD, 睡眠时相延迟障碍)，a condition that affects ones sleeping patterns, is passed down via a mutated(突变的) gene. DSPD sufferers wake up later and go to bed later than the average person. To come to their conclusion, the team studied a 46-year-old woman who is only usually able to fall asleep at 2 or 3 in the morning. It was discovered that the womans body produces the hormone that helps her sleep at night up to seven hours later than regular sleepers. The scientists found this was caused by a mutation in one of the womans genes, one that helps regulate the “body clock”.Some of the womans family members were also found to share the same mutationand the same sleeping problemsleading the scientists to believe that sleep troubles are passed down through the generations. However, having this mutation doesnt mean you automatically have sleep problems. The team also found two people who had he mutation but reported no problems with their sleep. But while this is an interesting discovery, it offers no help to those who cant fall asleep at nightalthough there are a few things you could try to help you sleep earlier. BBC journalist Michael Mosley produced a TV documentary in May in which he talked about his battle with insomnia(失眠) and the techniques he used. “I avoid social media for at least an hour before bed, I do mindfulness exercises, and if I wake up in the middle of the night, I read a book for an hour or so,” he wrote in an article for the Radio Times. 32. What have scientists recently discovered about sleep problems?A. Sleep problems can be a result of genetics. B. Stress and anxiety can cause sleep problems. C. Smart phones are the main cause of sleep problems nowadays.D. Sleep problems are more common among younger people. 33. What can we learn about the mutation of the gene related to sleep?A. It will delay sleep for seven hours. B. It doesnt necessarily cause sleep problems. C. It will be passed down to every future generation. D. It can be modified to help solve sleep problems. 34. What does Michael Mosley suggest doing before sleep to fight against insomnia?A. Listening to light music. B. Reading interesting books. C. Keeping away from social media. D. Doing some outdoor exercises. 35. Whats the main purpose of the article?A. To give advice on how to cure insomnia. B. To explain different reasons for sleep problems. C. To warn readers of the bad influences of sleeping late.D. To report the discovery of a genetic cause for sleep problems. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分, 满分10分)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。The “Chong Yang Festival” is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, which is also known as the Double Ninth Festival. 36Climbing MountainsPeople like to climb mountains on this festival, so Double Ninth Festival is also called “Mountain-climbing Festival”.
