装 Most of us would be traveling for the rest of our lives if traveling abroad were not so expensive. But there 号证is no need for you to cut down on the number of holidays you’re having this year. Below are some of the 考准cheapest places to travel to this year. 只 Sri Lanka
Great seafood, beautiful beaches, and amazing jungles await you in Sri Lanka. It is definitely one of the cheaper places to travel to as well. It will be possible for you to live in high-class hotels and resorts for as little 卷 as 70 dollars a night! If you don’t want to spend that much money, you can find hostels, and smaller hotels for as little as 20 dollars a day. You can just spend the day exploring Anuradhapura or go adventuring in 名姓Habarana Lake as well! 此 Hungary
It might be surprising to see Hungary on the list of cheap places to travel to this year. It is located in the most expensive continent on the earth, after all. However, Hungary is the country where you get rooms for as 级班little as 16 Euros, and beer for about 4 Euros each! This is definitely a bargain! You can get a travel card to use the public transport throughout the country, and save quite a few dollars on that as well. Spend a few nights in Budapest or head out to the northern hills where you can hike and swim in the clear lakes!
Greece
There was a time when Greece was unbelievably expensive, but due to its recent economic problems,
Greece has become quite cheap to travel to. Price of accommodation and food is at an all-time low, so this might definitely be a great time for you to visit! There are some areas of the country that will be expensive like Santorini or Mykonos, but if you just want to explore local Greek culture, you can walk on the streets of Greece, or adventure across the smaller islands around like Kefalonia or Piraeus or Los!
1．If Jack plans to stay in Sri Lanka for five days, he will pay at least ________ for the accommodation. A. $100 B. $125 C. $250 D. $350
2．Why is it surprising that Hungary is on the list of cheap places to travel to? A. There are varieties of high quality rooms.
B. The public transport is available throughout the country. C. Europe is a continent with a high level of consumption. D. Visitors can hike and swim in the beautiful lakes. 3．What can we learn about Greece?
A. Greece has always been a cheap place to travel to. B. None of the tourist spots in Greece are expensive to visit. C. Visitors can learn Greek culture by hanging around on the streets. D. It’s not cheap to explore islands like Kefalonia.
B
Some parents can’t resist the strong desire to help their children play hooky (逃学) for a trip. Five-year-old Erica and her siblings Alex, 9, and Kate, 12, missed school in Denver on Aug. 21, 2017. Their father Mr. Reed took them on a camping trip to Halsey to see the solar eclipse (日食). Kate had told her teachers she’d be absent and Mr. Reed let Erica’s and Alex’s teachers know, too. But he didn’t ask for permission. Mr. Reed has loved astronomy since seeing Neil Armstrong walk on the moon on his sixth birthday. He says, “I want my own kids to have a similar kind of wonderment and hope about future discoveries.” Parents often dream of traveling with their children to teach them about science, geography and culture. Many teachers support them, as the Reed children’s teachers did. Other teachers were angry about the extra work.
Teacher Amanda says she feels frustrated when parents take students out of school for family trips. If she
sends homework, she finds it’s often returned incomplete or incorrect, because the absent student didn’t hear her explanation in class. Some students suffer anxiety as they struggle to catch up. Research shows that students who are absent often, for any reason—excused or unexcused—performed more poorly in school. Garrick agreed to miss five days of school for the Antarctic trip last year as a senior high school student, however. Managing the homework was a challenge, but it helped him gain time management skills. “And the trip is worth the effort,” he says, “sparking his interest in international relations. You can’t really put a price on changing your world view,” Garrick says. “That’s what travel has done for me. It has changed how I think about things.”
4．What’s the teachers’ attitude toward “playing hooky”?
A. They support it as it offers children hope about future discoveries. B. It angers them because the homework is often returned incorrect. C. They hold different kinds of views about playing hooky. D. They are against it because too many students are absent.
5．According to the passage, why do the students have a poorer performance in school? A. Because they are often absent for any reason. B. Because they are not interested in study at all. C. Because they travel with their parents too much. D. Because they don’t do the homework regularly. 6．What benefit did Garrick get from his trip to Antarctica? A. It made him lose time management skills. B. It changed little of his world view.
C. It awoke his interest in international relations. D. It made him more creative.
C
As an expert on the science of sleep and sleep disorders, Michael Twery believes “People have good understanding about the necessity of sleeping 7-8 hours in bed. But they undervalue the function of napping in day.”
For example, many Americans do nap. But one-third of adults in the US are also frequently tired. Someone who naps as a way of paying off a sleep debt may not experience the same improvements from napping as a healthy, well-rested person would.
Also, many people may not want to admit that they take a nap. That only children, the very old, sick or lazy people nap is a common opinion. In fact, Americans sometimes do very strange things. For those who claim
they only sleep five hours a night, they may think they are somehow stronger than the average human—superhuman, if you will.
Luckily, many offices now offer napping rooms in many U. S. cities. While resting in the middle of the work day may seem like a luxury to Americans, napping is very much part of a normal, everyday life in other parts of the world.
China, generally speaking, is a land of nappers. Researchers recently looked at information provided by nearly 3, 000 Chinese adults, aged 65 years or older. Based on their answers, researchers put them into four groups: non-nappers (0 minutes), short nappers (less than 30 minutes), moderate nappers (30-90minutes), and extended nappers (more than 90 minutes).
The study found that the hour-long nappers did better on the tests than those who napped for shorter and longer periods. Keep in mind, however, that these are the findings for those over the age of 65.
Michael Twery notes that an hour long nap may be too long for young, healthy adults. “Currently, 30 minutes is enough to remove the pressure to sleep and will help us feel more awake. If we nap longer, we will get trapped into sleep inertia—a very deep sleep period.” 7．What does Michael Twery mean in the first paragraph? A. Most people have a sleep for a proper time. B. Most people have a good understanding of napping. C. Sleeping at night is more important than napping in day. D. People should learn more about the benefits of napping.
8．According to the underlined sentence, many Americans think taking a nap is ________. A. useless B. shameful C. enjoyable D. necessary
9．According to the study in China, which of the following is true? A. Old people are less likely to be short nappers. B. The research did not cover findings for young people. C. People are advised to nap for more than an hour per day. D. Those who take part in the study are divided into three groups. 10．What is the passage mainly about? A. We can get negative results from sleep inertia.
B. Americans are unwilling to admit their habit of napping.
C. The longer you nap, the healthier you get. D. A proper amount of nap is essential for better health. 评卷得分 人 二、七选五 Nowadays more and more Chinese parents invest large sums of money to send their children to study abroad. With countless difficulties to face and solve while studying abroad, overseas students should pay attention to the following things.
● Adjust mental attitudes. Experts consider psychological preparation as the most important thing for students studying abroad to consider.11．
● Adapt to new learning methods. Chinese students have got accustomed to the domestic exam-oriented education style. They will face changes in the educational system while studying abroad. 12．
● Be willing to communicate. With no relatives or friends by their sides, the first feeling of Chinese students is loneliness, which makes it especially important to learn to develop relationships with people around them. 13．Foreigners really like children of this kind and are willing to help them.
● 14．Students should ask related teachers to help make plans consistent with their practical condition. Learning plans require students to hold on to the primary direction of their overseas studies and arrange learning content for each course and semester. After the plan is made, they should strictly keep to it. ● Develop self-motivation for learning. Foreign children are used to learning by themselves in or after class. 15．So studying abroad requires that they should adapt to overseas studies as soon as possible and try their best to learn actively and independently.
A. Students must know they are going abroad to study and not for leisure. B. Try to find more solutions to adjusting to the open education. C. Make and stick to learning plans.
D. However, Chinese children are used to teacher-centered education. E. They should go out of their way to be friendly and strike up conversations. F. Help children with financial planning.
G. Students should prepare themselves for the attitudes.

I pulled Checkers from the basket. “It’s not a cat. It’s a kitten. Can I keep him? Please?”
Dad frowned for a minute, thinking. Then he rubbed Checkers under the chin(下巴). “You’ll have to take good care of him. ”
I hugged Checkers. “I will, “I promised. he won’t be any trouble at all.” And Checkers wasn’t—until he grew into a cat. He wanted to be the first one in the house- and the first one out of the house. Sometimes he blocked dad in the way. “That cat!”Dad complained. Checkers climbed onto our roof. He had no trouble getting down. Usually he aimed for Dad. “That cat!” Dad yelled. Checkers flushed the toilet and watched the water circle away. “That cat!”Dad was almost mad. Checkers hid in strange places. He liked to surprise people.
One day he hid under the couch(睡椅). Dad walked by with a glass of orange juice. Checkers jumped out. He curled around Dad’s ankle and attacked Dad’s toes. Orange juice spilt all over the floor. Dad yelled and put Checkers outside. “Get out of my way, cat!” he said angrily. And he slammed the door.
Dad washed the injured toes and peeled open a bandage. He wrapped it around his big toe, and then he opened four more for his ankle.
