If all goes well, you will have time to relax, shop for last-minute items, or have a meal before the flight.Flight Delays Find out why your flight is delayed. Call the free call numbers. Find out if other airlines are experiencing similar delays. If you believe the delay is due to something other than weather or air traffic problems, then mention your suspicion (怀疑) and ask the airline agent to book you on the next available flight, either on the same air-line or a peting one. This is called “Rule 240”, and all airlines are required to do it. Flight Cancellations (取消) If your flight is canceled, then make a reservation(预订)on the next flight to your destination. Usually, air-line personnel(职员) will try to book everyone on their next flight. Often they will put you on a petitors next flight only if you request it. If on-time arrival is important to you, when you check flights through our reservation system you can rate your choices based on their on-time arrival records. Be sure to also check the weather conditions, as they often affect flight schedules.21. A person goes to the airport ahead of time mainly to _.A. buy what he wants in the airport B. have a good rest in the airplane C. get on the airplane immediately D. reduce the pressure of the flight 22. If a person calls “Rule 240”, he wants to _.A. ask the reason for the plane delay B. make sure the time for the next plane C. know if other flights delays happen D. change for the ticket to the next flight 23. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Unpleasant travels B. Dangerous flights C. Airport travel tips D. Busy airportBLa Gomera is the only place in the world that has a whistle(口哨) language. We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the plete history of the island. But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language. There are many deep valleys on the island. A person on one side of a valley can not easily shout to a person on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard. Some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles.The people who live on the island usually have good teeth, and this helps them to whistle well. They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers.We can understand why the whistle language continues. It is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn. When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of telephone. If the sick person is quite far away from the town, people pass the message from one to another. A boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat. The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town. People help one another in the same way when a car breaks down or a cow is lost.The whistle language is hundreds of years old, and probably it will continue to live on for hundreds of years more. Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in different parts of a country. But on La Gomera you are nobody if you cannot whistle. Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island, people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions.24. If a person on La Gomera is ill, _.A. the whistle language will help pass the message to the doctorB. people will take him to town by carriageC. his family will take him to the hospitalD. others will phone the doctor in town25. La Gomera is special because _.A. we dont know its plete historyB. people have to shout if they want to municateC. people there have good teeth and earsD. people there use the whistle language to municate with each other26. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The whistle language has been used for hundreds of years on the island, but will not be used any longer.B. The whistle language can only be found on La Gomera.C. It is not easy for a person to live on La Gomera if he cannot whistle.D. The record shows that one best whistler can be heard by others from seven miles away.27. Which of the following will be the best title of this passage?A. The Secret Language B. Do You Know the Whistle Language?C. The Life of Islanders D. La Gomeraa MysteryCA handsome man can earn a fifth more than an average-looking colleague but a beautiful woman is not paid a penny more than her average-looking colleague, new research has shown.The study by senior economists（经济学家）found that being good-looking meant male workers could earn 22 percent more than average-looking colleagues. Researchers said good looks did not give women a similar advantage.Andrew Leigh, a former economics professor at the Australian National University who co-authored the report, said: “Beauty can be a double-edged sword for women.”“Some people still believe good looks and intelligence are inpatible(矛盾的)in women, so a good-looking women cant be that productive, but it doesnt affect mens pay.”He said that although he believed good-looking women may also earn more, the research did not support his theory.The research found that handsome men in all jobs, from manual labour（手工劳动）to highly-paid professional careers, can earn 22 percent more than their colleagues doing the same work.Men with below-average looks face a battle in the office, with ugliness reducing a mans earnings by 26 percent pared to an average-looking worker.Former male model, Lan Mitchell, 28, who has a first class degree in history from Edinburgh University and now works for a cosmetics pany, told the Sunday Times: It gives you confidence, and I suspect people tend to warm to you more quickly.”The study, named Unpacking the Beauty Premium, was the largest exercise of its kind and repeated a survey from 1984 to see if the beauty premium（美貌价)had changed.Leigh said the research showed people in the workplace were “lookist(以貌取人的)”and he hoped the findings would encourage employers to remove their prejudice.28. What has the research found?A. Male workers pay more attention to their appearance.B. Handsome men have an advantage in their jobs.C. Appearance plays an important role at work.D. The more beautiful a female is, the lower their intelligence is.29. What is Andrew Leighs opinion?A. Beauty is a double-edged sword for workers.B. Gook-looking females are likely to earn more.C. Employers have prejudice in employing workers.D. More attention is paid to appearance now than before.30. We can learn from the text that men who are below average in appearance _. A. earn26%less than handsome menB. earn 22%less than average-looking menC. earn as much as average-looking menD. earn 26%less than average-looking men31. What is the main idea of the text?A. Employees should pay more attention to their appearance.B. Males and females should be treated equally in interviews.C. Good-looking men tend to earn more.D. Beautiful female interviewees arent popular in interviews.DMore than 2.25 billion cups of coffee are drunk throughout the world each day, and its likely that many taste bitter. Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink sweeter by changing the color of their cups. Researchers from Oxford set out to prove whether the claim that coffee drunk from a white cup tastes bitter was true. They used 36 volunteers and three different colored cups-blue, white and transparent(透明的) glass to examine the claim. In one experiment, the white cup increased the intensity (浓度) of the coffee taste relative to the transparent cup. Then, in a second experiment, coffee drunk from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when pared to the other colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest. The scientists believe that the color brown may be associated with bitterness, and coffee in a white cup appears the brownest. “Our study clearly shows that the color of a cup does influence our sense of the coffee taste,” leading author Dr George Doorn, wrote in an article for The Conversation. “The effect of the color of the cup on the taste of the coffee reported here suggests that cafe owners should carefully consider the color of their cups,” he said, “The potential effects may spell the difference between a one-time purchase and a return customer.” Actually, the idea that color can change the food and drink taste came out many years ago. A study published last year reported that red, strawberry-flavored cake served on a white plate was rated as 10 percent sweeter than the same food presented on a black plate.32. The passage is mainly about _. A. the popularity of sweet coffee B. an experiment made in Oxford C. the effect of cup color on coffees taste D. useful tips on how to make coffee33. In which cup will coffee taste the sweetest?A. A white cupB. A blue cupC. A transparent cupD. A brown cup34. Caf owners should consider their cups color in order to _. A. reduce the daily expenses B. show their taste in coffee C. appeal to more customers D. make their caf different35. We learn from the passage that_. A. coffee in a white cup tastes sweeter than that in a transparent glass B. over 2 billion cups of sweet coffee are drunk worldwide each year C. Dr. George Doorn wrote an article about making conversations D. the idea that color could affect the taste of drink is not new第2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的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。FiveThings to Do in a Traffic JamTired of traffic jams?
