I had organised everything myself and I would show them how independent I could be.I had arra

15、nged to stay in a farmhouse outside a village in southern Italy. My schedule said that the plane would arrived in Italy at five o'clock in the afternoon and it was a thirty-minute drive from the airport to the village. I wanted to get to my destination before it got dark, so I could have a drink

16、, watch the sunset and enjoy an evening meal.The problems began at the airport. My plane was three hours late taking off. I walked around the airport, looked in the shops, and drank coffee in the cafes. I didn't eat anything. That was a mistake! When the plane finally took off, they gave me a co

17、ld, tasteless meal which I could not eat. We arrived in Italy in the early evening and I was feeling lightheaded from the lack of food. The sun was setting as I was collecting my bags! I missed it completely! I went to the desk to find my hire car and that was when I discovered the next problem. The

18、 receptionist couldn't find my name in the computer and there were no more cars. There were no buses or trains to the village, and the taxis were in strike.The receptionist felt sorry for me. She phoned her brother, Alessandro, who agreed to take me to the village. I waited for Alessandro at the

19、 front gate and he arrived driving a very old car with smoke pouring out of the engine. We set off. Fifteen minutes later we broke down. I was tired and depressed, and very, very hungry. I began to think my parents were right. Maybe I was too young to travel on my own. Luckily, Alessandro was a mech

20、anic. After an hour, he fixed the car and we started driving again.It was nearly midnight when we arrived at the farmhouse. A man opened the door and smiled. “Come in,” he said. “We have been waiting for you.” I sat with a group of the friendliest people I've ever met and had a meal that was abs

21、olutely wonderful. And I'm glad to say that the rest of my trip turned out to be exactly the same. 26. What time did the plane finally arrive?A. 5 pm.B. 5:30pm.C. 8 pm.D. 8:30pm.27. How did the writer feel when he landed in Italy？A. Hungry because he hadn't eaten for many hours.B. Tired beca

24、anised.D. They were casual and careless.（B）Which are the best cities to shop in? Writer Ellie Clare, has been to five cities around the world to find out. This week she writes about Paris.I went to Paris in June. It's a lovely city for sightseeing at that time of year, but it's also a great

25、place to find high-quality fashion. I started in the speciality stores and visited all the top names, including Cartier, Chanel and Christian Dior. I've never seen such beautiful things, but they are, of course, very expensive. I bought some perfume and moved on to the huge department stores in

26、Paris. Two of the most famous are Primtemps and Galleries Lafayette and they are definitely good places to visit. One place I found disappointing was the Champ-Elysees, the most famous street in Paris. In the old days, it was a great place for fashion, but now there are too many fast-food restaurant

27、s, banks, airline offices, shopping centres and cinemas aimed at tourists. Don't waste your time there!After the shops I tried the markets. One of the most famous places to find treasures in Paris is the flea market. There are three main flea markets - each selling an unbelievable range of old a

28、nd second hand goods. They are located around the old gates to the city. I spent hours walking around these fascinating places and while I was there I discovered the meaning of the name 'flea market'. Hundreds of years ago, the royal family gave away their old clothes, which were then sold b

29、y people at these markets. But the clothes were full of little insects - fleas of course! One of the stall sellers told me that the best time to find treasures at the market was before the crowds arrived, usually between 5am and 6am. But that was a bit early for me. I was enjoying the Paris night li

30、fe too much! There are also open-air markets all around the city where you can buy flowers, clothes, pets, food and many other things. And if you want to buy a book, visit the rows of bookstalls along the River Seine. You can find some great bargains there, or you can spend hours just looking.If you

31、 want to buy half of Paris or if you just want to walk around and look, you'll love the experience. Paris is a great place to shop!31. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To advertise some of the famous Paris stores.B. To inform readers about the best places to shop in Paris.C. To introdu

32、ce some of the famous tourist attractions in Paris.D. To compare shopping in Paris to shopping in other French cities.32. Why was the writer disappointed with the Champ-Elysees? A. There were too many tourist-oriented businesses there.B. There were no clothes on sale there.C. There were too many tou

33、rists in the area.D. The stores kept changing too often.33. What is sold at the Paris flea markets?A. Insects. B. Old things.C. The clothes of kings.D. Expensive jewellery.34. Why didn't the writer go to the flea market at the best time?A. It was too crowded.B. It was too early.C. She was too bu

34、sy.D. She was too excited.35. Where is the best place to buy books according to the writer?A. The book shops in the large department stores.B. The open markets all around the city.C. The flea markets near the city gate.D. The stalls along the River Seine.（C）Did you know that 7 out of 10 students hav

35、e cheated at least once in the past year? Did you know that 50 percent of those students have cheated more than twice? This shocking data is from a recent survey of 9,000 U.S. high school students.Incredibly, teachers may even be encouraging their students to cheat! Last year at a school in Detroit,

36、 some teachers were found to have provided their students with answers to statewide standard tests. Students at the school told police that they were promised pizza and money if they cheated on the test. Similar reports at several schools in San Diego county have prompted an investigation by the Edu

37、cation Department. A student at a local high school says she sees students cheating on almost every test, and the teachers dont do anything about it. In response to the claims of school-assisted cheating, the head of the National Association of School Principals said that while cheating should never

38、 be accepted, it showed the pressure that schools were under. “Because school funding is now decided by students' test performance, there is incredible pressure on school to raise marks in any way they can.” But schools are not the main problem. Many students claim that theyre tempted to cheat b

39、ecause of peer pressure and intense competition to get top grades. Many kids also say that their parents are setting a bad example by cheating on income taxes, lying about age to pay lower admission prices, or cheating their way out of speeding tickets. They are sending a message to their kids that

40、it is okay to cheat and lie. So, what can be done? In our schools math classes, each student has different problems on their test papers, so it is useless to look at someone elses answers. Teachers could also randomly mix the problems throughout the page. Another solution is for adults to lower thei

41、r expectations. Chances are that students believe cheating is the only way to meet unreasonably high expectations. Perhaps it is time for parents and teachers to seriously examine whether higher test results are important enough to encourage cheating. 36. What does the writer think of the levels of

42、cheating in American schools?A. It is an extremely serious problem.B. It is no worse than other countries.C. He expresses no clear opinion.D. It is mainly the fault of local school.37. Which of the following causes of cheating is NOT mentioned?A. Pressure from others.B. Too much work.C. Strong compe

43、tition.D. School funding.38. Why are some schools ignoring their students cheating in America, according to the passage?A. Because schools will get better students.B. Because teachers will then receive a higher salary.C. Because schools will get more government money.D. Because schools fear parents

44、will be very angry.39. According to the 3rd paragraph , how are parents encouraging their children to cheat?A. By putting too much pressure on their children to succeed.B. By criticising their children too much when they fail.C. By urging them directly to be dishonest.D. By failing to behave honestl

45、y themselves.40. In the last paragraph the writer _. A. offers possible solutions to the problemB. describes the causes of the problemB. outlines the results of the student cheatingD. suggests some of the reasons for cheating （D）You could say its the budget travellers ultimate prize: knowing exactly

46、 when to book a flight to get the cheapest fare. But now one flight comparison website, which analysed 7.5 billion airfares on its top 100 routes worldwide, believes it has found the answer.According to the research by momondo.co.uk, the ideal time to book a flight is 53 days in advance, a move that

47、 may save an average of 33% on the normal fare. For example, a flight from London to Lisbon, when booked 52 days in advance, costs on average £209compared to the average price of £287.Cheaper fares also depend on the time of the flight. Evening departures between 6pm and midnight are typic

48、ally cheaper, while Tuesday is generally the cheapest day to fly. As for the most expensive, fares are at their costliest three days before departure, while Friday is normally the most expensive day to take to the air. It is also suggested that travellers should avoid afternoon flights if they are l

49、ooking to save money. “In general, it pays to book flights two months in advance,” says Momondo spokesman Lasse Skole Hansen. “We found these trends consistent across the board, so bargain hunters should consider flying at night and on a Tuesday, if they want to save money on their travels.”Momondos

50、 research is consistent with previous studies into the age-old travellers dilemma of when to book. In January Skyscanner published the results of a three-year study, which found that on average five weeks in advance is the best time to find the cheapest fares.However, Skyscanner also found this

51、 varies according to destinations. The cheapest flights to Greece, for example, were found to be available just three weeks ahead of departure.The new study by momondo.co.uk coincides with their launch of an interactive tool, Flight Insight, which allows travellers to assess the best time, day

52、and season to travel.46.

A ticket booked three days in advanced for a Friday afternoon flight.B. A ticket booked one day ahead for a Friday af

54、ternoon flight.C. Tuesday morning ticket booked two months in advance.D. A ticket for a Friday flight during the summer holiday.49. If the advertised price for a plane ticket from London to Paris tomorrow was 90 pound, how much would the buyer expect to pay if he booked the ticket 52 days earlier?A.

55、 30 pounds.B. 60 pounds.C. 90 pounds.D. 120 pounds.50. What is the purpose of the article?A. To explain why flight price vary.B. To inform readers how to travel cheaply.C.
