Planning a trip can be easier through an online travel agency than if you handle each part of the planning on your own. These are our top choices.
●Booking. Com
Booking. com was founded in 1996 and has grown into an industry leader that stands out for being an all-in-one trip planning platform. From the website, you can compare and book your hotels, flights, and even airport taxis. It lists more than 28 million choices — you can find more choices per destination on Booking.com than any other online travel agency.
● Skyscanner
Find deals on airfare, hotels, and car rentals with Skyscanner, which was established in 2001 and uses a special engine to compare prices from all online travel agencies. The Search Everywhere button on the homepage offers a list of the cheapest flight deals for destinations both locally and across the world.

The company claims a 95 percent accuracy rate at predicting (预测) flight rates a year ahead.
● I Like Local
Visit the website to look through a host of travel experiences in countries including Indonesia, Kenya, and Cambodia. The platform got its start in 2014 and has grown to 4, 000 local hosts. 100 percent of each booking fee goes to local hosts. Until now, 16,000 travelers have booked with I Like Local.

It was a week after my mom had passed away and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed to prick my heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.
But something about my friend’s words—“I can help organize the whole thing”—stuck with me. I felt obliged(有义务的)to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total. I knew my mom would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never got defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.
When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I wanted in.
So I enrolled in another race two months later. Considering I could barely run a mile, it was ambitious. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it religiously and didn’t let anything get in my way.
Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a screaming argument there.
I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after her diagnosis of cancer. “I don’t want you to feel guilty about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders.
When the race day arrived, I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on.
Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.
4. Why did the author ignore the email in the beginning?
A. She felt it hard to finish the race.
B. She had no time to join in the event.
C. She thought the research meaningless.
D. She was reminded of her mother’s death.
5. What mainly helped the author recover from her mom’s death?
A. The company of her friends. B. The inspiration from her mom.
C. The pleasure in going for a run. D. The success in organizing an event.
6. Which of the words can best describe the author’s mom?
A. Considerate and polite. B. Brave and humorous.
C. Strong-willed and caring. D. Outgoing and patient.
7. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. How I Got Healed in Running B. The Loss of Sweet Memories
C. What Matters Most in Running D. The Rewards of Great Friendship
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】

We human beings need to stay in touch with nature-many studies show how much better people feel when in sight of trees. Yet even more importantly, nature itself needs us to stay in touch. Many politicians and scientists have told us that we can “conquer” nature, but in reality nature will always be beyond our control — we do have the power to destroy it. The fate of all the animals and their habitats depends largely on our attitude towards them. Whether or not we ourselves survive depends on how well we look after the rest. For our sake as well as theirs, we need to consider it seriously.
But how can we care at all if we spend our lives indoors? Born in South London at the end of the Second World War, at least I knew what a sparrow (麻雀) was (they’re rare now). We knew, too, that milk comes from cows and that old men can grow amazing carrots on poor land. Ultra-urban (极度城市化) as (虽然) we may have been, at least we were in touch.
Now we have a generation who frankly are not in touch. So how can they care if the countryside is sold off to the highest bidders, and used to park helicopters, and our crops come free from Monsanto and our livestock (家畜) live in factories? They will know no other way.
But if we settle for the ultra-urban life, if we hand our farming over to industrial chemists then, quite simply, the world will fall apart-as it has been doing already. We have to rethink what agriculture is really for, and why conservation matters to us, as well as to other creatures. Changes of strategies begin with attitude and attitude begins with awareness.
8. The second paragraph is intended to tell us that city people in the past _______ .
A. were in close touch with nature B. managed to survive in the war
C. killed the worms in the earth cruelly D. had a healthier diet than us
9. The new generation show no concern about the ultra-urban pattern just because _______ .
A. modern agriculture doesn’t need hard work
B. high profits can be made by selling city land
C. they are cut off from nature
D. livestock living in factories are tastier
10. From Paragraph 3 we can guess that Monsanto is likely to be _______ .
A a chemical fertilizer plant B. a scientist good at farming
C. a construction corporation D. a big agricultural company
11. Towards the end of the passage, the author reminds us to _______ .
A. move to the countryside B. reflect (反思) on our past behaviors
C. leave space for wild animals D. turn farms into big factories
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了人类与自然的关系,强调城市化导致新一代与自然脱节,呼吁重新思考农业和自然保护的意义。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Born in South London at the end of the Second World War, at least I knew what a sparrow (麻雀) was (they’re rare now). We knew, too, that milk comes from cows and that old men can grow amazing carrots on poor land. Ultra-urban (极度城市化) as (虽然) we may have been, at least we were in touch. (我出生于第二次世界大战末期的伦敦南部,至少我知道麻雀是什么(现在已经很少见了)。我们也知道牛奶来自奶牛,老人可以在贫瘠的土地上种出神奇的胡萝卜。虽然我们是超级都市,但至少我们还保持着联系。)”可知,作者在二战末期出生在伦敦南部,尽管他们生活在极度城市化的环境中,但仍然知道什么是麻雀,知道牛奶来自牛,还知道老人可以在贫瘠的土地上种出胡萝卜。由此可知,过去的城市人尽管生活在城市,但仍然与自然保持着一定的联系。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Now we have a generation who frankly are not in touch. So how can they care if the countryside is sold off to the highest bidders, and used to park helicopters, and our crops come free from Monsanto and our livestock (家畜) live in factories? They will know no other way. (现在,坦率地说,我们这一代人是不联系的。所以他们怎么能关心农村是否被卖给出价最高的人,用来停放直升机,我们的作物从孟山都公司免费获得,我们的牲畜生活在工厂里?他们不会知道其他的方法。)”可知,现在有一代人与自然失去了联系,因此他们对农村被出售给出价最高的人、土地被用来停放直升机、庄稼来自孟山都公司以及家畜生活在工厂里等情况毫不关心。由此可知,新一代人之所以对这种极度城市化的模式不关心,是因为他们与自然失去了联系。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“So how can they care if the countryside is sold off to the highest bidders, and used to park helicopters, and our crops come free from Monsanto and our livestock (家畜) live in factories? (所以他们怎么能关心农村是否被卖给出价最高的人,用来停放直升机,我们的作物从孟山都公司免费获得,我们的牲畜生活在工厂里?)”可知,我们的作物来自孟山都公司,这表明孟山都公司与农业有关。由此推知,孟山都是一家大型农业公司。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“We have to rethink what agriculture is really for, and why conservation matters to us, as well as to other creatures. Changes of strategies begin with attitude and attitude begins with awareness. (我们必须重新思考农业的真正意义,以及为什么保护对我们和其他生物都很重要。策略的改变从态度开始,态度从意识开始。)”可知,文章提到我们需要重新思考农业的真正目的,以及为什么保护自然对我们和其他生物都很重要。由此推知,作者呼吁我们反思过去的农业行为和对自然的态度。故选B。
D

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。
Are you afraid of failure? However, only by overcoming fear of failure can we achieve success in life. Here are some tips on how to remove fear and focus on success:
Understand that at times you make mistakes ___16___ Before any of us learned how to walk, we crawled(爬行). We got up, fell down own and got up again. We continued the process until we could walk quite well.
___17___ Instead, view it as a stepping stone. Make certain that you learn from failure and then use what you have learned in future situations. Refuse to consider failure a character weakness. Doing so will only prevent you from achieving future success.
Remember that failure has produced many successes. ___18___ Albert Einstein's teacher told him to quit school and said, "Einstein, you will never achieve anything!" Beethoven's music teacher said he was hopeless to become composer(作曲家). Henry Ford's' first two car companies failed.
Appreciate the benefits of failure. Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "All life is an experiment. The more experiments you try, the better you make." It's hardly possible for someone to achieve success for the first time he tries. ___19___
Believe in yourself. Rather than give up when things don't work out take it as a chance to build perseverance(坚持不懈). Remind yourself how many failures became successful because they wouldn't give up. ___20___
A. Don't take failure personally.
B. Work hard and try to avoid(避免)failure.
C. Realize that you are human and humans make mistakes.
D. Believe that you've got what it takes to work through the difficult times.
E. Making the same mistake again can lead to the failure in your future work.
F. Consider how many people in history had failed before they became successful.
G. In other words, your chances of getting things right on the first try are little.
【答案】16. C 17. A 18. F 19. G 20. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。人们都害怕失败,然而,只有克服对失败的恐惧,我们才能在生活中取得成功。文章介绍了我们如何消除恐惧、专注于成功。
【16题详解】
根据上文提示“Understand that at times you make mistakes”(要知道有时你也会犯错),由此可知,C项Realize that you are human and humans make mistakes.(要意识到你也是人,是人就会犯错)切题。说明每个人都会犯错,此处关键词make mistakes。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据下文提示“Instead, view it as a stepping stone. Make certain that you learn from failure and then use what you have learned in future situations.”(相反,把它看作是一块垫脚石。一定要从失败中吸取教训,然后在以后的情况中运用这些经验)可知,这是看待失败的正确做法,Instead表明空处应该会提到一种错误的做法,A项Don't take failure personally.(不要把失败个人化)切题。下文中的it指代的是该项中的failure,且下文中的Instead与该项构成一种转折关系。故选A。
【18题详解】
根据下文提示“Albert Einstein's teacher told him to quit school and said, ‘Einstein, you will never achieve anything!’Beethoven's music teacher said he was hopeless to become composer(作曲家). Henry Ford's' first two car companies failed.”(爱因斯坦的老师让他退学,并对他说:“爱因斯坦,你永远不会有任何成就!”贝多芬的音乐老师说他不可能成为作曲家。亨利·福特的前两家汽车公司都失败了)可知,这些是名人经历过失败的具体例子,F项Consider how many people in history had failed before they became successful.(想想历史上有多少人在成功之前经历了失败)切题。印证了成功来源于失败,该空下文举例说明。故选F。
【19题详解】
根据上文提示“It's hardly possible for someone to achieve success for the first time he tries.”(一个人第一次尝试就取得成功是不可能的)可知,不要指望一次就成功,G项In other words, your chances of getting things right on the first try are little.(换句话说,你第一次就成功的机会很小)切题。该项中的little与上文的hardly possible吻合。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据上文提示“Remind yourself how many failures became successful because they wouldn't give up.”(提醒自己,有多少失败之所以成功,是因为他们不肯放弃)可知,失败后坚持不放弃很重要,D项Believe that you've got what it takes to work through the difficult times.(相信你已经具备了克服困难的能力)切题。该项中的to work through the difficult times与上文wouldn't give up保持一致。故选D。

参考词汇:人工智能 artificial intelligence (AI)
Dear fellow students,
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Dear fellow students,
Recently, we have noticed that an increasing number of students are relying too much on AI tools to complete their assignments, which has led to some negative consequences, such as a decline in academic integrity and critical thinking.
To address the issues, we should use AI as a supplementary tool to enhance learning rather than a replacement for our own efforts, which may violate academic integrity principles fundamental to our education and result in the lack of originality and creativity. Additionally, it is of great significance for us to critically evaluate the information generated by AI rather than accept it blindly. Otherwise, we might be deprived of the ability to think critically.
Let’s make a conscious effort to use artificial intelligence in a reasonable and responsible manner. By doing so, we can make the most of AI technology while maintaining our academic integrity and personal growth. Your effort counts!
The Student Union

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a suburb of London, there lived a teenage boy, Tom, who was going through the typical rebellious (叛逆的) period like many teenagers. He felt his parents, especially his father, were constantly trying to control every aspect of his life. Tom started to come home late, ignoring the requirements his parents had set. He would skip doing his homework, preferring to play video games in his room.
When it came to his appearance, Tom chose to dress in a way that his parents disapproved of. He would wear baggy clothes with holes and put on a large amount of chains and studs (饰钉) . His hair was dyed an unusual color and styled in a spiky (刺猬式的) manner.
Tom's father, Mr. Johnson, was a strict man who believed in obeying rules and hard work. He spared no effort to support the family and always encouraged Tom to achieve excellence. He had high expectations for Tom. Therefore, he would often complain about Tom's grades, choice of friends and untidy room.
One day, Tom came home with a new haircut that annoyed his father. “What on earth is this? You look strange,” Mr. Johnson scolded (责骂) . Tom replied angrily, “It's my hair, and I can do whatever I want with it. You're always trying to control me.” This led to a huge argument, and Tom stormed off to his room, slamming the door behind him. As time went on, the relationship between Tom and his father grew worse. Tom would avoid spending time with his family, preferring to hang out or alone in his room. When asked to help with housework, he would roll his eyes and complain that they were always bossing him around. His mother was trying to mediate between the two but with little success. However, a turning point came when Tom was asked to prepare a presentation about family values. As he started to research on the topic, he realized his father's special form of love, although in a tough way.
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。
Recalling what his father had done for the family, Tom decided to take the first step towards the end of the situation.

His father's expression softened.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Recalling what his father had done for the family, Tom decided to take the first step towards the end of the situation. He took a deep-breath and walked out of his room. He found his father sitting in the living-room, looking a bit tired. Tom sat down beside him and softly said, “Dad, I’m sorry for my rudeness. I know you care about me.” Then he began to talk about his thoughts and feelings, how he was influenced by his friends and why he dressed in that strange way. His father listened attentively, without interrupting.
His father’s expression softened. He put his hand on Tom’s shoulder and said, “Son, I also should apologize. I’ve been too strict and didn’t listen to you enough. I just want the best for you.” From then on, they had an open-hearted conversation. Tom understood his father’s love was tough but deep, and his father also tried to understand Tom’s world. They agreed to respect each other more. Since then, the relationship between Tom and his father became much better, and Tom also made positive changes in his behavior and attitude.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。文章讲述了伦敦郊区一名处于叛逆期的少年Tom的故事。Tom觉得父母尤其是父亲总想控制他,他经常晚归、不做作业、穿着父母不认可的衣服。父亲Mr. Johnson是个严厉且重视规则和努力的人,对Tom期望很高,常批评他。一次Tom新发型引发争吵后,父子关系变差。后来Tom被要求准备关于家庭价值观的演讲,在此过程中,他开始理解父亲特殊的爱。
【详解】1.段落续写: ①由第一段首句内容“回忆起父亲为家庭所做的事情,汤姆决定迈向结束这种情况的第一步。”可知,第一段可描写Tom回忆起父亲为家庭所做的一切后,决定主动迈出和解的第一步。他去找父亲谈心,表达自己的理解和歉意。
②由第二段首句内容“他父亲的表情缓和了。”可知,第二段可描写父亲的表情缓和,他也对自己之前的方式有所反思,父子关系得到改善,彼此的情感更加深厚。

It was a week after my mom had passed away and I didn’t know how to go on with life. So when I received an email from a friend about a race benefiting cancer research, I ignored it. It seemed to prick my heart, as cancer was the disease that had taken my mother away from me.
But something about my friend’s words—“I can help organize the whole thing”—stuck with me. I felt obliged(有义务的)to agree. In the weeks to come, I managed to re-enter the world of the living. I checked our team’s website daily, feeling proud each time a donation ticked up our total. I knew my mom would have wanted it that way. She was the type who never got defeated. It was this very spirit that helped me get by.
When the race ended, I noticed the runners all had one thing in common: There were big smiles on their faces. They made it look so rewarding and effortless. I wanted in.
So I enrolled in another race two months later. Considering I could barely run a mile, it was ambitious. But my friend and I made a training plan so I wouldn’t come in last. I followed it religiously and didn’t let anything get in my way.
Running up and down the city’s hills, I was flooded with memories. I had lived there after college and my mother had visited often. I passed Bloomingdale’s, recalling the time she and I had gotten into a screaming argument there.
I was about to beat myself up when I remembered what Mom had said after her diagnosis of cancer “I don’t want you to feel guilty about anything.” Her paper-thin hands had held me tightly. A weight lifted from my shoulders.
When the race day arrived, I gave it my all for my mom and for all she had taught me and continued to teach me. As I ran, whenever I felt like slowing down, I pictured her cheering me on.
Crossing the finish line, I was filled with her love and a sense of peace.
4. Why did the author ignore the email in the beginning?
A. She felt it hard to finish the race.
B. She had no time to join in the event.
C. She thought the research meaningless.
D. She was reminded of her mother’s death.
5. What mainly helped the author recover from her mom’s death?
A. The company of her friends. B. The inspiration from her mom.
C. The pleasure in going for a run. D. The success in organizing an event.
6. Which of the words can best describe the author’s mom?
A. Considerate and polite. B. Brave and humorous.
C. Strong-willed and caring. D. Outgoing and patient.
7. What might be the best title for the passage?
A How I Got Healed in Running B. The Loss of Sweet Memories
C. What Matters Most in Running D. The Rewards of Great Friendship
C
We human beings need to stay in touch with nature-many studies show how much better people feel when in sight of trees. Yet even more importantly, nature itself needs us to stay in touch. Many politicians and scientists have told us that we can “conquer” nature, but in reality nature will always be beyond our control — we do have the power to destroy it. The fate of all the animals and their habitats depends largely on our attitude towards them. Whether or not we ourselves survive depends on how well we look after the rest. For our sake as well as theirs, we need to consider it seriously.
But how can we care at all if we spend our lives indoors? Born in South London at the end of the Second World War, at least I knew what a sparrow (麻雀) was (they’re rare now). We knew, too, that milk comes from cows and that old men can grow amazing carrots on poor land. Ultra-urban (极度城市化) as (虽然) we may have been, at least we were in touch.
Now we have a generation who frankly are not in touch. So how can they care if the countryside is sold off to the highest bidders, and used to park helicopters, and our crops come free from Monsanto and our livestock (家畜) live in factories? They will know no other way.
But if we settle for the ultra-urban life, if we hand our farming over to industrial chemists then, quite simply, the world will fall apart-as it has been doing already. We have to rethink what agriculture is really for, and why conservation matters to us, as well as to other creatures. Changes of strategies begin with attitude and attitude begins with awareness.
8. The second paragraph is intended to tell us that city people in the past _______ .
A. were in close touch with nature B. managed to survive in the war
C. killed the worms in the earth cruelly D. had a healthier diet than us
9. The new generation show no concern about the ultra-urban pattern just because _______ .
A. modern agriculture doesn’t need hard work
B high profits can be made by selling city land
C. they are cut off from nature
D. livestock living in factories are tastier
10. From Paragraph 3 we can guess that Monsanto is likely to be _______ .
A. a chemical fertilizer plant B. a scientist good at farming
C. a construction corporation D. a big agricultural company
11. Towards the end of the passage, the author reminds us to _______ .
A. move to the countryside B. reflect (反思) on our past behaviors
C. leave space for wild animals D. turn farms into big factories
D
Every day people all over the world celebrate their cultural heritage, simply by living their lives in a way that stands for who they are and where they come from. But one day in a year is set to celebrate the joint history and heritage of the human race. World Heritage Day encourages us to celebrate all the world’s cultures, bring awareness to important cultural relics and sites, and agree on the importance of preserving the world’s cultures.
On this day, there are a number of different events that happen all over the world. This includes a wide range of activities, meetings, and visits to heritage sites and relics. For those who are unaware of the significance of preserving world heritages, a heritage site is basically a place that is of cultural importance, It preserves the culture of intangible attributes(无形的特质)and physical artifacts(古器)of a society or group that is inherited from older generations.
Perhaps the most important way to celebrate World Heritage Day is to search out those locations(所在)near you that are counted as World Heritage Sites, and perhaps pay them a visit. Before doing so, research the sites, find out what steps are needed to protect them, and respect them during your visit.

Are you afraid of failure? However, only by overcoming fear of failure can we achieve success in life. Here are some tips on how to remove fear and focus on success:
Understand that at times you make mistakes ___16___ Before any of us learned how to walk, we crawled(爬行). We got up, fell down own and got up again. We continued the process until we could walk quite well.

Believe in yourself. Rather than give up when things don't work out, take it as a chance to build perseverance(坚持不懈). Remind yourself how many failures became successful because they wouldn't give up. ___20___
A. Don't take failure personally.
B. Work hard and try to avoid(避免)failure.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a suburb of London, there lived a teenage boy, Tom, who was going through the typical rebellious (叛逆的) period like many teenagers. He felt his parents, especially his father, were constantly trying to control every aspect of his life. Tom started to come home late, ignoring the requirements his parents had set. He would skip doing his homework, preferring to play video games in his room.
When it came to his appearance, Tom chose to dress in a way that his parents disapproved of. He would wear baggy clothes with holes and put on a large amount of chains and studs (饰钉) . His hair was dyed an unusual color and styled in a spiky (刺猬式的) manner.
Tom's father, Mr. Johnson, was a strict man who believed in obeying rules and hard work. He spared no effort to support the family and always encouraged Tom to achieve excellence. He had high expectations for Tom. Therefore, he would often complain about Tom's grades, choice of friends and untidy room.
One day, Tom came home with a new haircut that annoyed his father. “What on earth is this? You look strange,” Mr. Johnson scolded (责骂) . Tom replied angrily, “It's my hair, and I can do whatever I want with it. You're always trying to control me.” This led to a huge argument, and Tom stormed off to his room, slamming the door behind him. As time went on, the relationship between Tom and his father grew worse. Tom would avoid spending time with his family, preferring to hang out or alone in his room. When asked to help with housework, he would roll his eyes and complain that they were always bossing him around. His mother was trying to mediate between the two but with little success. However, a turning point came when Tom was asked to prepare a presentation about family values. As he started to research on the topic, he realized his father's special form of love, although in a tough way.
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。
Recalling what his father had done for the family, Tom decided to take the first step towards the end of the situation.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
His father's expression softened.
