Insider Flight Tips for Your Journey
Anyone can book a trip, but not everyone can plan an ultimate adventure that is affordable, accommodating and fun. At www. tripinsiders. org, we aim to provide you with the best insider secrets in the travel business. And on this website, we also offer a state-of-the-art travel comparison tool to make planning easier than ever. Here are some insider tips that we'd like to share with you about flights.
Look for Glitch (小故障) Fares
Online booking systems for airfare don’t come without a pricing mistake every once in a while. Follow deal-minded travel sites and blogs to learn about pricing mistakes that work in your favor. This is the most useful if you live near a major airport and have a flexible schedule.
Consider Alternate Airports
Some major cities have more than one airport, so make sure to check them all for the cheapest fares. For example, if you’re planning to visit the Bay Area of California, check for rates in both San Francisco International Airport and Oakland International Airport.
Cross the Border by Land
Domestic flights are often cheaper than international ones, so if you live near a border and want to fly to a neighboring country, you can save by crossing the border by land and then catching a domestic flight. For example, Toronto residents may save by crossing the American border into Buffalo and then flying to another American city.
Use a Digital Luggage Scale
There’s nothing more frustrating than learning that your bag is too heavy to fly or that it’ll cost you extra when you arrive at the airport. Digital luggage scales are great for making sure that you’re not going over the baggage limit with your new souvenirs.

(2024·河南省商丘市部分名校)Are your keys not in the spot you thought you left them? Can’t recall the title of a book? I’ve had those moments. Such instances of “brain freeze” remind us that we should do everything in our power to keep our brains sharp.
A new study finds Tai Chi study can help slow cognitive (认知的) decline and protect against dementia (痴呆). The study included about 300 older adults, in their mid-70s on average, who had all reported that their memory was not as good as it used to be.
As part of the study, all the participants took a 10-mirrute test called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment. A normal score is 26-30. A person who scores between 18 and 25 is considered to have mild impairment (损害), which means they don’t have dementia but they’re not as sharp as they used to be and may need to work harder to maintain everyday activities. Once their score drops under 18, people experience quite a bit of impairment from memory loss and cognitive decline.
The average score of participant s at the start of the study was 25. The study found that people who practiced a simplified form of Tai Chi twice a week for about six months improved their score by 1.5 points, meaning that they’re going to get three extra years before they hit that decline into dementia.
Researchers also tested a more stricter type of Tai Chi, called Cognitively Enhanced Tai Chi, where they provided extra challenges. For example, participants were asked to spell a word, backward and forward, as they moved through a series of Tai Chi moves. The people who practice this type of cognitively enhanced Tai Chi improved their scores by about 3 points, meaning they are given six extra years of cognitive function.
The theory on why Tai Chi is effective is that it combines the memorization of the movements, known as forms, almost like composing dancing moves.
4. Why are two questions raised in the first paragraph?
A. To present the author’s doubts. B. To expect answers from readers.
C. To analyze the causes of forgetfulness. D. To introduce the main topic of the text.
5. What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A Cognitive assessment methods. B. The process of running the test.
C. Cognitive measurement criteria. D. The test results of the participants.
6. What does the pre-best average score of the participants imply?
A. Most of them suffer from, dementia. B. They remain as quick-minded as before.
C. Many of them have slight cognitive decline. D. They can protect themselves against dementia.
7. Why does Tai Chi have a positive impact?
A. It helps resolve challenges. B. It involves mind-body movements.
C. It puts off cognitive decline by three years. D. It improves the participants academic level.

(2024·江苏省南通市名校联盟)On a chilly autumn morning in the Italian countryside near Larderello, Tuscany, the misty landscape reminded me why the area is nicknamed the Devil’s Valley. The land here is a web of natural cracks in the rock that let a mix of steam and gases reach the surface.
Unlike the rolling hills and cypress-lined roads of other parts of Tuscany, the landscape here is covered with dozens of grey cooling towers puffing white vapors. The deafening roar of a turbine (涡轮机) at the Valle Secolo geothermal (地热的) plant breaks the quietness, but its violent spinning transforms steam rising from underground into energy for 150,000 families in the region. About 30% of Tuscany’s electricity comes from this energy source. After producing electricity, the leftover steam heats water for nearby districts.
This underground energy has recently proved a vital resource. Italy greatly depended on Russian fossil fuels and in 2023 Italians bore the world’s highest household electricity bills. Factories cut down production and households had to turn down their heaters. But residents of the Larderello area spent the winter in warm homes, thanks to the local geothermal plants working 24/7.
Bruno Della Vedova, president of the Italian Geothermal Union, hopes that in the future other Italian regions could benefit from such a resource, which is extremely important when the whole world looks to transition to renewable energy.
While countries like Iceland and Kenya are taking advantage of their geothermal resources, the industry’s growth has made slow progress in Italy. High set-up costs and difficulties in extraction present significant barriers. And new plants often run into opposition from nearby communities over health concerns.
Italy sits on a geothermal sweet spot. Especially below Larderello, as Della Vedova says. A vast reservoir (储备) of steam and water is trapped between Earth’s inner heat and a layer of clay-heavy rocks. High temperatures lead to the formation of steam directly inside the reservoir, providing a significant source of energy.
But while heat from Earth’s core is practically endless, the water it heats within the planet are not. So Della Vedova says restoring underground water supplies and using them sustainably is critical for the future. “We can’t take advantage of a geothermal resource at will,” he says.
8. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The landscape in the countryside.
B. The introduction to a geothermal plant.
C. The application of geothermal energy in Tuscany.
D. The process of turning underground steam into heat.
9. Why has geothermal industry developed slowly in Italy?
A. People near new plants object to it.
B. Geothermal plants cut down their production.
C. There is very little underground water and steam.
D. People use less electricity by turning down heaters.
10. What is Della Vedova’s attitude to the prospect of geothermal energy?
A. Unfavorable. B. Unclear. C. Optimistic. D. Cautious.
11. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Where does geothermal energy lead Italy?
B. Is the heat from Earth’s core really limitless?
C. Can energy from underground help power Italy?
D. How can geothermal energy be used scientifically?

(2024·内蒙古名校联盟)Italian diver and gardener Sergio Gamberini decided to see if he could grow vegetables in a plastic balloon underwater. The experiment was a success—so he decided to dive deeper into the world of underwater agriculture.
Today, Gamberini is the founder of a company using “biospheres” off the coast of Italy to grow a variety of plants, introducing the world to a new type of agriculture. The company’s six “biospheres” are air-filled plastic balloons about two meters wide. Each is fixed to the seabed by chains so that it sits between 15and 36 feet below sea level. The biospheres are equipped with cameras and sensors that allow researchers in the company to monitor CO2 levels, humidity, temperature, and more from a control tower on the shoreline. There’s also a device to communicate with divers in the biospheres.
Solar panels (太阳能电池板) on the roof of the control tower power the fans that create airflow inside the biospheres, and because the temperature inside and outside the biospheres is consistent, there’s no need to expend energy on the heating or cooling systems needed for traditional greenhouses.
The underwater garden doesn’t require pesticides (杀虫剂) since bugs can’t reach the plants, and though more research is needed, the company notes on its website that the higher-pressure conditions underwater appear to help plants grow more quickly.
The company is now ready to shift from the research phase of development to optimizing (优化) its biospheres for industrialization, with the goal of expanding them off coastlines around the world. To achieve the aim, the startup is now taking advantage of “digital twin” technology to precisely simulate (模仿) every aspect of its underwater garden.
Even with all the optimization potential offered by technology, Gamberini admits it’s hard to imagine the produce grown in his startup’s biospheres ever competing financially with traditionally grown crops. Still, he hopes the system’s sustainability will be enough to draw customers.
12. What does Gamberini’s company use “biospheres” mainly for?
A. Doing scientific research on marine life.
B. Creating a habitat for underwater animals.
C. Monitoring climate change effects on coastal regions.
D. Growing different types of plants through underwater agriculture.
13. How is the temperature maintained inside the biospheres?
A. By temperature regulation by divers.
B. By advanced heating and cooling systems.
C. By solar panels on the roof of the control tower.
D. By natural climate conditions of underwater environment.
14. What can we infer about Gamberini’s company?
A. It has little negative influence on the environment. B. It negatively affects ocean biodiversity.
C. It leads to much use of pesticides. D. It contributes to climate change.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Grow Plants Under the Sea B. The Creative World of Keeping Animals
C. Explore the Depths of Underwater Farming D. The Challenge of Growing Greens Underwater

Before I turned ten, I had lost both my parents. I lived alone in a room that a relative had allowed me to use rent-free. And to support myself and my education, I had taken to delivering newspapers.
I would get up every morning by 5am and walk five kilometre from Kachiguda, where I lived,to the newspaper office in Troop's Bazaar. By 6am, I would collect 50 copies of Manzil (Urdu Daily)—the bundle must have weighed over five kilograms. My beat spanned three kilometre,from Moazzam Jahi Market to Basheer Bagh. After distributing the copies, I would rush home—another three kilometre away, cook my measly breakfast, and be off to the Kachiguda High School. I was in Class Seven and even though I had weekly holidays, there was no break from this work.
One wintry Friday morning in 1945, I got home after my deliveries, only to find a boy of my age at my doorstep. He introduced himself as Afzal and said his father wanted to see me. When I asked him why, Afzal said,"He will tell you."
I assumed his father wished to subscribe to the newspaper, so I followed him to his home nearby.
Afzal's mother, Naseem Bano, opened the door. She asked me to sit, patted my back and went inside. She reappeared carrying a large tray full of tea and snacks.
Then came Mr Kader, Afzal's father, telling me Afzal was their only son and a student in my school.
Naseem pulled up her chair next to mine and gently asked,"Tell me about your routine, right from the time you wake up in the morning."I wasn't quite sure why she wanted to know that, but I told her about my morning job in a few words.
Later, as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mr Kader asked me to wait and stepped inside the house. Meanwhile, Naseem asked me,"How many miles do you walk every day?" I replied,"A little more than 11 km."
My reply shocked her.

Insider Flight Tips for Your Journey
Anyone can book a trip, but not everyone can plan an ultimate adventure that is affordable, accommodating and fun. At www. tripinsiders. org, we aim to provide you with the best insider secrets in the travel business. And on this website, we also offer a state-of-the-art travel comparison tool to make planning easier than ever. Here are some insider tips that we'd like to share with you about flights.
Look for Glitch (小故障) Fares
Online booking systems for airfare don’t come without a pricing mistake every once in a while. Follow deal-minded travel sites and blogs to learn about pricing mistakes that work in your favor. This is the most useful if you live near a major airport and have a flexible schedule.
Consider Alternate Airports
Some major cities have more than one airport, so make sure to check them all for the cheapest fares. For example, if you’re planning to visit the Bay Area of California, check for rates in both San Francisco International Airport and Oakland International Airport.
Cross the Border by Land
Domestic flights are often cheaper than international ones, so if you live near a border and want to fly to a neighboring country, you can save by crossing the border by land and then catching a domestic flight. For example, Toronto residents may save by crossing the American border into Buffalo and then flying to another American city.
Use a Digital Luggage Scale
There’s nothing more frustrating than learning that your bag is too heavy to fly or that it’ll cost you extra when you arrive at the airport. Digital luggage scales are great for making sure that you’re not going over the baggage limit with your new souvenirs.
1. What is the main purpose of www.tripinsiders.org ?
A. To recommend travel websites. B. To fund the travel business.
C. To advertise a travel agency. D. To uncover travel business secrets.

【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Unlike the rolling hills and cypress-lined roads of other parts of Tuscany, the landscape here is covered with dozens of grey cooling towers puffing white vapors. The deafening roar of a turbine (涡轮机) at the Valle Secolo geothermal (地热的) plant breaks the quietness, but its violent spinning transforms steam rising from underground into energy for 150,000 families in the region. About 30% of Tuscany’s electricity comes from this energy source. After producing electricity, the leftover steam heats water for nearby districts.(与托斯卡纳其他地区连绵起伏的丘陵和柏树林立的道路不同,这里的风景被几十座灰色的冷却塔覆盖,散发着白色的蒸汽。山谷塞科洛地热发电厂震耳欲聋的涡轮机的轰鸣声打破了宁静,但它猛烈的旋转将地下升起的蒸汽转化为该地区15万户家庭的能源。托斯卡纳约30%的电力来自这种能源。在发电后,剩余的蒸汽为附近的地区加热水。)”可知,第二段主要描述了在托斯卡纳地区地热能的应用。它提到了瓦莱塞科洛地热发电厂,该发电厂将地下冒出的蒸汽转化为该地区15万户家庭的能源。它还提到,托斯卡纳大约30%的电力来自这种能源。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“While countries like Iceland and Kenya are taking advantage of their geothermal resources, the industry’s growth has made slow progress in Italy. High set-up costs and difficulties in extraction present significant barriers. And new plants often run into opposition from nearby communities over health concerns.(冰岛和肯尼亚等国正在利用本国的地热资源,而意大利的地热产业发展却进展缓慢。高昂的安装成本和困难的开采构成了重大障碍。此外,新工厂经常因为健康问题遭到附近社区的反对。)”可知,意大利地热产业发展缓慢是因为高昂的设立成本和提取困难,也是因为新建工厂经常因为健康担忧而遭到附近社区的反对。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But while heat from Earth’s core is practically endless, the water it heats within the planet are not. So Della Vedova says restoring underground water supplies and using them sustainably is critical for the future. “We can’t take advantage of a geothermal resource at will,” he says.(但是,虽然地核的热量实际上是无穷无尽的,但它在地球上加热的水却不是。因此,Della Vedova表示,恢复地下水供应并可持续地利用它们对未来至关重要。“我们不能随意利用地热资源”,他说。)”可知,Della Vedova对地热能源前景抱有谨慎的态度。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“Bruno Della Vedova, president of the Italian Geothermal Union, hopes that in the future other Italian regions could benefit from such a resource, which is extremely important when the whole world looks to transition to renewable energy.( Bruno Della Vedova是意大利地热联盟的主席,他希望将来意大利的其他地区也能从这种资源中受益。当全世界都在向可再生能源过渡时,这种资源是极其重要的。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要描述了意大利托斯卡纳地区的地热能源如何被用来为当地居民提供电力和供暖,并强调了这种能源在能源供应中的重要性。同时,文章也提到了地热能源的前景和挑战,以及意大利地热联盟主席Bruno Della Vedova对地热能源的看法和态度。选项C“Can energy from underground help power Italy?(来自地下的能源能帮助为意大利供电吗?)”准确地概括了文章的主要内容。故选C。
D
(2024·内蒙古名校联盟)Italian diver and gardener Sergio Gamberini decided to see if he could grow vegetables in a plastic balloon underwater. The experiment was a success—so he decided to dive deeper into the world of underwater agriculture.
Today, Gamberini is the founder of a company using “biospheres” off the coast of Italy to grow a variety of plants, introducing the world to a new type of agriculture. The company’s six “biospheres” are air-filled plastic balloons about two meters wide. Each is fixed to the seabed by chains so that it sits between 15and 36 feet below sea level. The biospheres are equipped with cameras and sensors that allow researchers in the company to monitor CO2 levels, humidity, temperature, and more from a control tower on the shoreline. There’s also a device to communicate with divers in the biospheres.
Solar panels (太阳能电池板) on the roof of the control tower power the fans that create airflow inside the biospheres, and because the temperature inside and outside the biospheres is consistent, there’s no need to expend energy on the heating or cooling systems needed for traditional greenhouses.
The underwater garden doesn’t require pesticides (杀虫剂) since bugs can’t reach the plants, and though more research is needed, the company notes on its website that the higher-pressure conditions underwater appear to help plants grow more quickly.
The company is now ready to shift from the research phase of development to optimizing (优化) its biospheres for industrialization, with the goal of expanding them off coastlines around the world. To achieve the aim, the startup is now taking advantage of “digital twin” technology to precisely simulate (模仿) every aspect of its underwater garden.
Even with all the optimization potential offered by technology, Gamberini admits it’s hard to imagine the produce grown in his startup’s biospheres ever competing financially with traditionally grown crops. Still, he hopes the system’s sustainability will be enough to draw customers.
12. What does Gamberini’s company use “biospheres” mainly for?
A. Doing scientific research on marine life.
B. Creating a habitat for underwater animals.
C. Monitoring climate change effects on coastal regions.
D. Growing different types of plants through underwater agriculture.
13. How is the temperature maintained inside the biospheres?
A. By temperature regulation by divers.
B. By advanced heating and cooling systems.
C. By solar panels on the roof of the control tower.
D. By natural climate conditions of underwater environment.
14. What can we infer about Gamberini’s company?
A. It has little negative influence on the environment. B. It negatively affects ocean biodiversity.
C. It leads to much use of pesticides. D. It contributes to climate change.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Grow Plants Under the Sea B. The Creative World of Keeping Animals
C. Explore the Depths of Underwater Farming D. The Challenge of Growing Greens Underwater
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. C

In high school, test anxiety ruled my world. Small quizzes would have me ready to throw up; big exams made me extremely tired. ____17____ But I’d have to learn to deal with it.
When the pandemic (流行病) forced school to move online, school became more flexible and it was a lot less serious. Assignments and tests were structured differently and things began to gently shift for me. ____18____ Being able to take assessments from my own room, completely alone, also helped calm my nerves. And my teachers provided me with comfort I needed.
We should not wait for help. ____19____ Recently, a midterm didn’t trigger panic. No extreme exhaustion or uneasiness, just healthy nervousness. The night before the test, I watched TV, just thinking mostly about what I was going to order at Starbucks when I finished. ____20____ Achieving this mental state required significant time and energy. If anxiety is sure to come, I’ll continue getting rid of it.
A. I couldn’t imagine another way.
B. This anxiousness comes from my family.
C. These thoughts would awake me at night.
D. Open-note tests helped me relieve my anxiety.

六、读后续写

Before I turned ten, I had lost both my parents. I lived alone in a room that a relative had allowed me to use rent-free. And to support myself and my education, I had taken to delivering newspapers.
I would get up every morning by 5am and walk five kilometre from Kachiguda, where I lived,to the newspaper office in Troop's Bazaar. By 6am, I would collect 50 copies of Manzil (Urdu Daily)—the bundle must have weighed over five kilograms. My beat spanned three kilometre,from Moazzam Jahi Market to Basheer Bagh. After distributing the copies, I would rush home—another three kilometre away, cook my measly breakfast, and be off to the Kachiguda High School. I was in Class Seven and even though I had weekly holidays, there was no break from this work.
One wintry Friday morning in 1945, I got home after my deliveries, only to find a boy of my age at my doorstep. He introduced himself as Afzal and said his father wanted to see me. When I asked him why, Afzal said,"He will tell you."
I assumed his father wished to subscribe to the newspaper, so I followed him to his home nearby.
Afzal's mother, Naseem Bano, opened the door. She asked me to sit, patted my back and went inside. She reappeared carrying a large tray full of tea and snacks.
Then came Mr Kader, Afzal's father, telling me Afzal was their only son and a student in my school.
Naseem pulled up her chair next to mine and gently asked,"Tell me about your routine, right from the time you wake up in the morning."I wasn't quite sure why she wanted to know that, but I told her about my morning job in a few words.
Later, as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mr Kader asked me to wait and stepped inside the house. Meanwhile, Naseem asked me,"How many miles do you walk every day?" I replied,"A little more than 11 km."
My reply shocked her.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At the same time, I saw Mr Kader emerge again, wheeling a new bicycle._____________________________

One possible version:
At the same time, I saw Mr Kader emerge again, wheeling a new bicycle. It was a quite expensive new bike. I was fixing my eyes on it when I heard Mr Kader's words."This is for you!" he said."But I have no money to pay for it,"I murmured. Afzal's mother put her arm around my shoulders, gave a gentle squeeze and said,"Who is asking you to pay for it, my son?" It took a few seconds for the endearment to sink in. It felt warm, like home, as if my mother were there for me.
Mr Kader began to explain why he gave me the bicycle. He said,"Your newspaper editor is a friend of mine. He gave me your address, so I knew you lived close by. Then Afzal told us/more about you."I bowed gratefully. I didn't even realize that my eyes had welled up, and tears were rolling down my face. Afzal's mother wiped my tears and held me closer. The bicycle changed my life for many years thereafter. I realized that timely and needs-based help is in-comparably precious.
