It was my six-year-old sons winter break form school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a week-long trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meeting in New York，So I had to get back . But that didnt mean my husband and my son couldnt stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.The next day，my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged-okay, ordered them to wait it out at the airport, to earn more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?Now some people may think Im a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.Ive made living looking for the best deals and exposing the worst tricks .

BAs more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations- UNESCO and National Geographic among them have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect. Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is followingin that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working and raising a family in a village in Nepal. Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record. At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials- including photographs, films, tap recordings, and field notes- which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection. Now, through the two organizations that he has founded-the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project-Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of munities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet. Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech munities.5.Many scholars are making efforts to _.A. rescue the disappearing languages B. promote global languages C. search for language munities D. set up language research organizations.6.What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Having full records of the languages B.Writing books on language teachingC.Telling stories about language usersD.Living with the native speakers7.What is Turins book based on?A.The cultural studies in India.

He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice Ive ever had: Be bold and brave and mighty (强大的) forces will e to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision tobiteoffmorethanyouaresureyoucaneat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet (子弹) and stopped him cold.”Boldness a willingness to extend yourself to the extremeis not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities and youll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.9.Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A. He faced huge risks. B. Failure blocked his way to success.C. Fear prevented him from trying. D. He lacked mighty forces.10.What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?A. Swallow more than you can digest. B. Act slightly above your abilities.C. Develop more mysterious powers. D. Learn to make creative decisions.11.What was especially important for Tims successful defense in the football game?A. His spiritual force B. His basic skill.C. His real fear. D. His physical strength.12.What can be learned from Paragraph 5 ?A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adultsB. Trying without success is meaninglessC. Repeated failure creates a better lifeD. Boldness can be gained little by little DFailure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding. We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it is either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel. Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first. Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical(按字母顺序)order, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the days work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works. Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over. When planningEncyclopaedia Britannica(大英百科全书), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept ing up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable. One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep. An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had e up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing. Human beings, I believe must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.13. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to.A. accept failure B. work hard C. seek help D. delay tasks14. What does the author remend doing to prevent start-up fatigue?A. Writing essays in strict order. B. Building up physical strength.C. Leaving out the toughest ideas. D. Dealing with the hardest task first.15. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Success Is Built upon Failure B. How to Handle Performance FatigueC. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to Success D. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems E A major source of teen stress is school exams，and test anxiety is not unmon.

I still remember how hard first day was. Before getting into the car, I thought I had learned the instructors orders, so once I started the car, my mind goes blank. I forgot what he had said to me altogether. The instructor kept repeating the word, “Speed up!” “Slow down!” “Turning left!” I was so much nervous that I could hardly tell which direction was left. A few minutes late, the instructor asked me to stop the car. It was a relief and I came to a suddenly stop just in the middle on the road.V.作文 （25分）假定你是李华，与留学生朋友Bob 约好一起去书店，因故不能赴约。请给他写封邮件，内容包括：1.表示歉意 2.说明原因 3 另约时间注意： 1 词数100左右；2 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。集宁一中xx第一学期第二次月考高三年级英语试题答案一、阅读理解： A篇 1-4 AACC B篇 5-8 AADC C篇9-12 CBADD篇 13-15 DDC E篇 16-20 EFBAD二、完形填空：21-25 BDCAD 26-30 BACDC 31-35 AABCB36-40 ADBCD三、语法填空：41. greater 42. achievement 43. is 44. on 45. as 46. studies 47. regularly 48. a 49. to bring 50. make 四、短文改错： 51. eighteenth 52.first 前加the / my 53. so-but/yet 54.goes-went 55. word-words 56.
