第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40 分)
第一节(共15 小题;每小题2 分, 满分30分)

A
If you’ll be taking vacation time in the coming year and plan on flying, here are some shopping tips to give your undivided attention to.
When to buy
If you’re shopping for domestic flights, check prices on Tuesday afternoons. This is an old tip but still valid because most US carriers continue to release sales on Tuesday morning, and competitors quickly drop their fares to match the better deals.
When to fly
Weekdays continue to be generally cheaper times to fly than weekends for most flights. In the US specifically the cheapest days are typically Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. A good itinerary for the expensive US spring break travel period is Tuesday to Saturday; it won’t be cheap exactly, but it will save you money (in most
cases) over weekend-to-weekend travel.
Direct vs. connecting flights
Compare the price of direct with connecting fights. Sometimes adding a stop to your route will save you money, and it might be enough to endure the extra-long flying day. Some examples;
Boston to Seattle :$247 direct, $234 one-stop
San Francisco to Raleigh/Durham: $553 direct, $362 one-stop
Okay, the savings on Boston-Seattle might not be worth it to you, but I’ll bet you’ll think twice about the direct fight for San Francisco to Raleigh.
Compare, compare, compare
Stifle the impulse to go to your favorite airline site to purchase tickets without doing any comparison; it’s a recipe for disaster. Example: Let’s say you want to fly from New York to London and figure your favorite US legacy carrier will get you there for the best price.
Airline price: $554 round-trip
Comparison price: $486
Obviously, the legacy carrier did not have the cheapest flight, but wait, there’s more: The comparison site also showed a cheaper flight from the same legacy carrier ($521). See what you’re missing when you fail to compare?
21. The best price for flights within the US could most possibly be found on .
A. Monday morning
B. Tuesday afternoon
C. Thursday morning
D. Sunday morning
22. Ticket buyers are advised to .
A. choose direct flights rather than connecting ones
B. take the cheapest deal from their favorite airline
C. look for flight deals to Europe throughout the summer
D. avoid weekend-to-weekend flights in holiday seasons
23. The underlined phrase “stifle the impulse” probably means “ .”
A. feel free to do something
B. hold off on doing something
C. get well prepared for something
D. make quick decisions about something
B
I first began experiencing anxiety and depression at the age of 14, after being bullied(欺凌)at school for years. While at first anxiety and depression would come and go, it eventually became a constant part of my life.
I was so eager to find the solution to overcoming my anxiety and depression that I tried everything from when I was in college to graduate school: mood-changing medication, special teas, yoga, anything I read about in books, and advice give by doctors. Despite this, I still felt I hadn’t even come close to managing the problem.
But one afternoon, my eyes fell upon an article in a magazine I was reading that talked about how dogs were able to help people with anxiety and depression. The very next day, I decided to get a dog—a corgi. When I brought my little corgi, Buddy, home, I didn’t realize how much he would change my life. It didn’t happen right away, however.
Once the “puppy excitement” went away, my anxiety and depression came back as usual. One morning, I woke up with those familiar feeling again. I didn’t want to get out of bed. I turned to pull the covers back over my head and give up . That’s when I saw Buddy.
Buddy started jumping all over me, licking my face, letting me know that it was time to go outside. It was as if he were saying, “There’s no time to be sad; the world is amazing!” And for the first time in my life, my life was changing. I really was a new person. This was my new beginning.
It’s been more than a year since that day, and I’ve never spent another morning unable to get out of bed. I’ve not cried myself to sleep or spent my days stuck with fear and regret. Sure, I still have days when I feel sad or anxious. But with Buddy, my best friend, by my side, I’ve finally learned how to manage these feelings and
emotions.

Amazon China, one of the largest online booksellers, unveiled the bestselling books in China for the first hall of 2017 on Tuesday, disclosing Chinese people’s reading habits.
Japanese author KeigoHigashino’s Miracles of the Namiya General Store topped the list of the most popular paper books, followed by late Chinese writer Yang Jiang’s We Three and Israeli historian Yuval Noah’s Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow. In the list of paid eBooks on Kindle, the top three places were taken by Chinese writer Zhou Meisen’s In the Name of the People, KeigoHigashino’s Miracles of the Namiya
General Store and Fall of Giants—book one of British author Ken Follett’s historical Century Trilogy.
Amazon has also released a ranking of Chinese cities where people read most. Hefei and Zhengzhou occupy the first and second spot respectively for the second straight year. The ranking was based on the ratio of books sales compared to the volume of all products sold on Amazon during the first six months of the year.
Popular TV dramas have increased the sales of the original books. In the Name of the People, an anti-corruption novel, has become the most favored choice on Kindle’s paid eBooks and the eighth popular printed book in Amazon. The company has attributed the sales success to the novel’s super TV adaptation, and it went online in March. Statistics show the purchases of the book’s e-version increased 24 times three months after its screening, and printed copies rose 12 times. Hong Kong author Isabel Nee Yeh-su’s The First Half of My Life is another example. The recent TV adaption of the novel caused a book buying craze in China. Purchases of the book’s hard copies rose 600 times a week after the TV play was aired earlier this month.

For a lot of people, getting a full night’s sleep is nothing more than just a dream. Some of us climb into bed in the early evening, and the next thing we know, it’s 2 in the morning and we’re sill staring at he ceiling. It’s common knowledge that sleep problems can be caused by things such as stress, anxiety, or even using a smart phone before bedtime. But recently, a team of researchers discovered that genes could also be a cause of sleepless nights.
The scientists, from Rockefeller University in New York, US, found that delayed sleep phase disorder( DSPD, 睡眠时相延迟障碍)，a condition that affects one’s sleeping patterns, is passed down via a mutated(突变的) gene. DSPD sufferers wake up later and go to bed later than the average person. To come to their conclusion, the team studied a 46-year-old woman who is only usually able to fall asleep at 2 or 3 in the morning. It was discovered that the woman’s body produces the hormone that helps her sleep at night up to seven hours later than regular sleepers. The scientists found this was caused by a mutation in one of the woman’s genes, one that helps regulate the “body clock”.
Some of the woman’s family members were also found to share the same mutation—and the same sleeping problems—leading the scientists to believe that sleep troubles are passed down through the generations.
However, having this mutation doesn’t mean you automatically have sleep problems. The team also found two people who had he mutation but reported no problems with their sleep.
But while this is an interesting discovery, it offers no help to those who can’t fall asleep at night—although there are a few things you could try to help you sleep earlier.
BBC journalist Michael Mosley produced a TV documentary in May in which he talked about his battle with insomnia(失眠) and the techniques he used. “I avoid social media for at least an hour before bed, I do mindfulness exercises, and if I wake up in the middle of the night, I read a book for an hour or so,” he wrote in an article for the Radio Times.
32. What have scientists recently discovered about sleep problems?
A. Sleep problems can be a result of genetics.
B. Stress and anxiety can cause sleep problems.
C. Smart phones are the main cause of sleep problems nowadays.
D. Sleep problems are more common among younger people.
33. What can we learn about the mutation of the gene related to sleep?
A. It will delay sleep for seven hours.
B. It doesn’t necessarily cause sleep problems.
C. It will be passed down to every future generation.
D. It can be modified to help solve sleep problems.
34. What does Michael Mosley suggest doing before sleep to fight against insomnia?
A. Listening to light music.
B. Reading interesting books.
C. Keeping away from social media.
D. Doing some outdoor exercises.
35. What’s the main purpose of the article?
A. To give advice on how to cure insomnia.
B. To explain different reasons for sleep problems.
C. To warn readers of the bad influences of sleeping late.
D. To report the discovery of a genetic cause for sleep problems.

The “Chong Yang Festival” is celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, which is also known as the Double Ninth Festival. 36
Climbing Mountains

The 9th lunar month, with clear autumn sky and bracing air, is a good time for sightseeing. 37. It is really refreshing to climb mountains and enjoy the beauty of nature at this bright and clear time in autumn.

In ancient times, people usually picked fresh chrysanthemum flowers and leaves on the 9th of the 9th lunar month, and brewed the mixture of them and grains into the wine. 39.

40
The Double Ninth cake is also known as “flower cake”. It dates back to the Zhou Dynasty.

I’m writing to know about the details about the arrangements involved in the

Looking forward to your reply.
