Off-season travel simply refers to travel at times other than the most popular time of the year to visit places. If you are not sure whether the off-season is fit for you, keep the following in mind.Good reasons to go in the off-season: It is less expensive. The two biggest expenses-transportation and accommodation (住宿)-are cheaper in the off-season. It is less crowded. Avoiding the busy time of the travel season also means that you arent rubbing (摩擦) elbows with strangers at every turn. It becomes your destination. You vacation is decided by you -not by long lines and overcrowded activities. When no one else is eating in the local cafe, it is possible to spend time chatting with the owner because his/her focus is you.Bad reasons to go in the off-seasons: Your options are limited. In some destinations, especially if there is a very distinct tourist season, you may find that tours of activities have been cut back in the off-season, and some destinations practically shut down, with no shops or entertainment at all. The weather may not be ideal. Sometimes the off-season is that way because it is an unappealing time to travel, and the weather can be a determining factor in whether you would really like to test a destination outside its prime time. You go just because it is the off-season. If you are going to a destination just because it is less expensive, then dont go. Time and money are precious. Spend them knocking off places at the top of your list, even if you can only go at the same time of year as everyone else.21.If you want to _, you shouldnt travel off-season. A. have more choices B. avoid the crowds C. save money D. find a good, cheap hotel22.Which of the following is an advantage of traveling off-season? A. Your choice is wider. B. You are more likely to enjoy good weather. C. You can get more attention from the local people. D. You can spend a lot of money in shopping.23.Where could you most possibly find this text? A. In a health magazine. B. In a travel magazine. C. In a fashion magazine. C. In a science magazine.B "Sorry, but I don't agree with you ."This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears. I've always found it difficult to disagree with someone, because I don't want to lose a friend. I've found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me, because my ego（自尊心）is hurt. Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me, my usual response would be, “If you aren't able to see my point of view, then what you think isn't worth my time or consideration, either. “But now I've come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me, sometimes she is simply saying, "I don't agree with the way things are done. “She still respects me as a person, and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter. However, there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I'm against the truth. That's when need to listen to what she says. I've learned that one way to help my friend is for me to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully. While we can't control how a person will respond to our views, we must learn to disagree with our friends in love. We will never feel that we are better than the other person. And that will help us to be less emotional, and more objective in the way we express our opinions. In the same way, we can also stay open to feedback（反馈）from others ,knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love.Good friendships build each other up, sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions. Though I don't like being disagreed with, I'm starting to see the value of such disagreements.24.The author has found it difficult to disagree with someone because _. A. he is a friendly person    B. he usually hides his ideas C. he has no mind of his own    D. he wants to keep the friendship25.When a friend disagreed with him, the author used to_ . A. be unhappy    B. argue with the friend C. break up with the friend    D. explain things calmly26.The author will listen to a friend when _. A. he is against the truth    B. he doesn't tell the truth C. he is respected by a friend    D. he does things in the wrong way27.What does the author mainly talk about in the text? A. How to keep friendship.    B. How to avoid hurting a friend. C. How to express disagreements.    D. How to deal with disagreements.CA dog named Kai has become famous after being abandoned at a train station. He was found next to a suitcase containing a toy, a bowl, some dog food and even a pillow. Animal welfare experts warned that Kais owner could face a lifetime ban from keeping animals after the “cruel” act. They are now looking after Kai, who was found outside the railway station in a coastal town in Scotland on Friday. Scottish SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) officer, Stewart Taylor, said, “ The dog has been microchipped (植入微芯片), so we were able to find out his name is Kai. We contacted the owner registered to the microchip, who stated they had sold Kai in 2013. Unfortunately, they could not tell us the address of the person who bought him. This case shows the potential consequences of selling an animal online, as it often leads to the impulse(冲动) buying of pets that people know very little about. Regardless of the fact that Kai was left with his belongings, this was still a cruel act and we are determined to find the person responsible. If anyone can help, we would ask them to get in touch as soon as possible. “Kai is around two or three years old. It has a gentle nature and is a lovely dog. We will look after him until we can find him a loving home.” He is now being cared for at an animal welfare charity, where staff have been busy with more than 100 calls offering him a new home after hearing his story. Abandoning an animal is an illegal act under the Animal Health and Welfare Act (Scotland) 2006. Anyone found guilty of doing so can be banned from keeping animals for a fixed period or life.28.The owner of Kai who abandoned him _.A. has already been found by Steward TaylorB. had bought him online C. registered Kai to the microchipD. left Kai nothing with him29.What is Kai like?A. He is gentle and lovelyB. He is skinny and dirtyC. He is cruel and fierceD. He used to be a wild dog30.How did people respond after they heard the story about Kai?A. Many people tried to get in touch with his owner.B. They were anxious to punish the person who abandoned him.C. Many people were willing to offer him a new home.D. Many people were careful not to buy animals online.31.From the article we can learn that the government of Scotland _A. doesnt allow people to keep petsB. thinks keeping pets is a very serious thingC. forbids people from buying pets onlineD. provides pets with belongings D Why do you have to turn off mobile phones when on a plane? Before answering his question, I have a guilty secret to admit. My plane was preparing for take-off when a flight attendant asked the passengers to turn off their electronic devices. Far from complying, I pushed my phone deeper into my pocket. It seems I am not alone. A survey found that four out of 10 US air passengers admitted that they dont always turn off their devices on flights. According to the rules, the use of electronic devices is not allowed below 3,000m, even in “flight mode”. Above this height, laptops and music players can be used, but phone must be turned off. These rules are set to avoid interference(干扰) between signals from these devices and aircrafts system. But do these rules have any scientific basis? The fear of interference comes from the fact that electronic devices connect to the Internet using radio waves. If their frequencies(频率) are close to those of the planes communication system, they could put the plane in danger. There are no known recorded crashes that have been caused by such interference. But there is evidence that the risks should be taken seriously. A report summarising 50 cases of safety issues has been published recently. One case was summarised as follows: “An officer reports that the compass system fails to work just after take-off. When passengers are asked to ensure that all electronic devices are turned off, the system returns to normal.” In another case, a serious error was immediately corrected when a passenger turned off a DVD player. This problem re-occurred when the device was switched back on. Some people argue that if there were a real risk of interference, people would not be allowed to take their electronic devices on aircraft at all. However, Ill make sure my phone is switched off. After all, I dont want it to be responsible for a forced landing.32. What does the underlined word, “complying”, in the second paragraph mean? A. Applying B. Obeying C. Complaining D. Competing33. What can we learn from the third and fourth paragraph?A. Most US passengers dont turn off their electronic devices when on a flight.B. Passengers can turn on a laptop below the height of 3,000m.C. Passengers are permitted to use a music player above the altitude of 3,000m.D. Passengers are allowed to use their phones if they are in flight mode.34. According to the text, a planes communication systems _. A. cannot operate normally if connected to the Internet B. always have the same frequencies as electronic devices C. can sometimes be affected by radio waves used by electronic devices D. communicate with the ground through electronic devices35. What is the purpose of the text? A. To tell readers about some airline crashes in history. B. To share an unforgettable experience with readers. C. To explain some mobile phone risks that people dont know about. D. To explain why we have to turn off our electronic devices on planes. 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。How can we all get more laughter into our lives? Here is what the experts suggest:_36_  Nancy Alguire, a teacher in Clifton Park, N. Y., was once painfully shy and had a hard time laughing.
