If you are interested, read on to find out how you can do simple things to save money next time you go on vacation.AirfaresPlan in advance and visit discount websites to see if there are better deals. If you are planning to stay in two countries and an airline makes you change planes on those countries anyway, you might be in luck. Check pricing on the flights to see if you can stay a few days at the country of the flight change instead of changing planes right away since airlines often let you do that for the same price.AcmodationsSometimes the smaller towns close to where you are going have hotels that are much less expensive. If you dont mind the 15-minute ride, you might just save a large amount of money. Home exchanges are pretty cool and popular especially in Europe. If you are of the adventure type, this could be exciting and refreshing. Sometimes smaller hotel chains are willing to give you free upgrades or even free nights. If you are staying at a destination for at least a few days, consider a vacation home instead of hotels. They are often more fortable and your cost will probably be cheaper.Eating Figure out where you will be and eat before you actually go out. Avoid breakfast from the hotels because chances are good that the breakfast from the hotel is expensive and isnt great. It probably pays to walk out the front door in the morning and find a local cafe. You might just discover the local favorite unexpectedly. Want a breakfast that costs nothing? Ask for some bread to-go at the restaurant the night before. In addition, fancy lunches are often much less expensive than dinners. If you eat a big lunch and a light dinner, its also healthier.21. The text is mainly about _. A. tips on economical travelB. trips in different countries C. dos and donts during a tripD. budgets for a package holiday 22. What kind of travelers will choose a vocation home? A. Those who want an adventure trip. B. Those who dislike small hotel chains. C. Those who dont mind long-distance trips. D. Those who plan to live in one place for few days.23. To save money on eating, you are expected to _. A. eat more for dinner than lunch B. have three meals in the hotels C. buy bread from restaurants D. try a local cafe for breakfast BWhile Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.Using a web camera equipped in Jennifers Los Angeles apartment, the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the puter screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was lockedremotelyto prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past? Or was she slowing down?In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are validthat students havent just searched the Internet to get the right answers.Although online classes have existed for more than a decade, the concern over cheating has bee sharper in the last year with the growth of “open online courses.”Private colleges, public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field, spending millions of dollars to attract potential students, while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are being increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students identities using personal information, such as the telephone numbers they once used.Other programs can produce unique exams by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test questions are answered at the same speed as easy ones. As in many university classes, term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.24.Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam?A. To correct her typing mistakes.B. To find her secrets in the room.C. To prevent her from slowing down.D. To keep her from dishonest behaviors.25.The underlined expression “cutting edge” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to.A. advanced technique B. sharpening toolC. effective rule D. dividing line26.For Internet universities, exams and diplomas will be valid if.A. they can attract potential studentsB. they can defeat academic cheatingC. they offer students online helpD. they offer many online courses27.Some programs can find out possible cheaters by.A. checking the question answering speedB. producing a large number of questionsC. scanning the Internet test questionsD. giving difficult test questionsCAmericans like to travel on their yearly holiday. Today，more and more travelers in the United States are spending nights at small houses or inns(客 栈)instead of hotelsThey get a room for the breakfast the next morning. Rooms for the night in private(私人的)homes with breakfast have been popular with travelers in Europe for many years. In the past five or ten years, these bed-and-breakfast places have bee popular in the United-States. Many of these Americans bed-and-breakfast inns are old historic buildingsSome bed-and-breakfast inns have only a few rooms，while other are much larger. Some inns do not provide telephones or televisions in the rooms，but others do Staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is much different from staying at a hotelUsually the cost is much lessStaying at an inn is almost like visiting someones homeThe owners are glad to tell about the areas and the interesting places to visit. Many vacationers say that they enjoy the chance to meet 1ocal families 28Americans take a holiday trip_.

AEuropean and American vacationers like staying at bed-and- breakfast inns BAll Americans enjoy traveling CThese bed- and-breakfast inns are all old historic buildings DStaying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is just like at the travelers homeDClimate change has been blamed for killer hurricanes, sea level rise, and drought, but a new report suggests the effects of climate change might hit the worlds coffee supply. Up to 70 percent of the worlds coffee supply could be threatened over the next 66 years, according to a new study by researchers at Englands Royal Botanic Gardens.Nearly 100 percent of the worlds Arabica coffee growing regions could bee unsuitable for the plant by 2080, according to the study. Beans from Arabica coffee plants account for about 70 percent of the worlds coffee, but the plant also has to be grown under strict weather conditions: they grow well at temperatures between 64 and 70 degrees Celsius, and are highly influenced by frost（霜）or temperatures higher than 73 degrees Celsius.With temperatures estimated to increase by between 1.8 and 4 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, the fragile plant might bee increasingly expensive and difficult to grow, especially in places such as Ethiopia and Kenya. In that worst case, nearly all of the worlds native Arabica coffee would die out. Under more conservative（保守的）estimates, about 65 percent of the regions used to grow the coffee would bee unsuitable for it The evidence from coffee farmers and coffee growing regions around the world is that they are already suffering from the influences of increased warming.Some farmers would likely be able to move their operations to other areas or would be able to overe climate change with artificial（人工的）cooling techniques, but wild Arabica is generally considered to be much more suitable for making high-quality coffee.If Arabica bees impossible to raise in its native areas, it could do serious damage to the economies of the mainly third-world countries in which it grows. Coffee is the worlds most popular drink and is the second most-traded product in the world, behind oil.32. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Climate change affects people in many ways.B. More and more attention has been paid to climate change.C. The worlds coffee supply could be threatened by climate change.D. The growing conditions of Arabica coffee have been improved recently.33. What can be learned from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?A. According to the study, by 2080 nowhere can be suitable for Arabica coffee growing.B. 65 percent of the worlds coffee gets raw materials from Arabica coffee plants.C. Arabica coffee plants will grow well at temperatures lower than 60 degrees Celsius.D. Coffee farmers are the biggest victims of climate change.34. In order to solve the problem of Arabica, coffee plants, some farmers .A. would make efforts to produce high-quality coffee.B. would bring in artificial cooling techniques.C. would tend to move to some warm places.D. would grow more wild Arabica.35. What is the result if Arabica coffee has less production?A. Coffee will replace oil to be the first most-traded modity.B. Coffee is likely to bee less popular than before.C. Some countries will suffer great economic losses.D. Farmers will plant other crops instead of coffee.第二节 （共10分，每题2分）根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Do Well in ExamsDo not underestimate(低估) the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and retaining(保持）crucial(关键的） information. But do not overdo it. 36 An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it. On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack two of everything you need （pens, pencils, erasers, etc.）, then make your way to the examination hall in good time 37 .Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breaths to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as discuss, pare and evaluate. 38 It is always wise to allow for 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper. Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected: after all, examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical answers.39 If you do need something else to focus on to help collect your thoughts, choose a fixture in the room, such as the ceiling - or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted.Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students. 40 A. Do not arrive too early, though, as other peoples anxiety can be contagious(有传染性), and you may suffer from undue（多度的） panic.B. Try not to be tempted to look at those around you, or at the clock.C. When you get home, read the examination paper through and look up all the words you didnt understand.D. Sleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as important.E. Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each question.F. Go and have a well-earned rest, then prepare for your next exam.G. Underestimate the test in your mind.第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分) 第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文。从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。As a general rule, all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine(常规)basis.
