When you're ready to purchase airfare for your next trip,set aside time on a Sunday to book. According to Expedia's 2025 Air Hacks Report,booking on Sundays can save you up to 6%on domestic flights and up to 17%on international flights compared to bookings made on a Monday or Friday.This trend has held true for three years in a row. What are the cheapest days to fly? The day your flight departs is another important factor in determining the cost of your airfare. For the cheapest flights,aim to fly on a Thursday or Saturday.If you're flying domestically, departing on a Saturday instead of a Sunday can save you up to 17%.For international travel, leaving on a Thursday rather than a Sunday can result in savings of up to 15%. .How far in advance should you book airline tickets to save money? Many people assume that the earlier you book your flight,the cheaper your ticket will be.But that's not the case.In fact,booking an international flight just 18 to 29 days before departure will save you up to 17%compared to booking three months in advance.The sweet spot for domestic flights is one to three months before your trip.Booking then can save you 25%compared with tickets booked at the last minute. 21.How can you save money concerning domestic flights? A.Booking 18 to 29 days in advance. B.Flying on Saturdays instead of Sundays. C.Choosing flights leaving on Sundays. D.Purchasing tickets on Mondays or Fridays. 22.What is a common misunderstanding about booking flights? A.Booking early guarantees low prices. B.Last-minute deals are best choices C.Weekends are always more expensive. D.Airfare varies greatly from year to year. 23.What's the text? A.A social media platform. B.A travel journal. C.A market research report D.A customer review 2 B On stage,21-year-old Jiang Zhounan brings stories to life,while off stage,she finds joy and excitement in her own passionate story with a speeding motorcycle.Bomn in 2003,Jiang displays the elegance of the stage and the freedom of the open road.Her life combines the grace of Yueju Opera,a traditional style from the Yangtze River Delta which features women playing male roles, with the thrill of biking. Her journey into the world of art started with an unexpected moment in her second year of middle school.During a singing practice,Jiang's clear voice and heartfelt emotion caught her teacher's attention.Recognizing her talent,the teacher gave her a brochure for the Zhejiang Vocational Academy of Art,setting her on the path to becoming a Yueju Opera performer. At the academy,Jiang found a teacher who offered both academic guidance and personal support,allowing her to fully engage herself in the art form.After graduating in 2022,she joined the Yueju Opera troupe()at the Nantong Art Theater.There,she specializes in laodan (senior female roles)and also performs zhengdan (young female roles).Her strong singing and expressive acting soon made her a star in the troupe. However in her free time,Jiang takes up a different kind of performance.Shortly after starting her career,she encountered a group of female motorcyclists during a rural performance.Their confident and spirited behavior fascinated her,fueling a passion for the speed and freedom of motorcycling.In 2022,she purchased her own motorcycle,shifting from a graceful performer to a cool,dynamic rider. Jiang does not see her two passions as conflicting.She believes that everyone has multiple dimensions to their character,with the stage representing just one aspect of her life and motorcycling marking the shift from work to personal life.Both pursuits bring her joy and fulfillment,allowing her to express different sides ofherself. 24.How did Jiang begin her journey into Yueju Opera? A.Her teacher denied her singing. B.Her teacher noticed her gift. C.She won a singing competition. D.She joined a rural performance group. 25.What is the major factor for Jiang's success in the Yueju Opera troupe? A.Playing young male roles. B.Superb performance in singing and acting. C.Receiving personal financial support. D.Being good at playing elderly female roles 26.Why did Jiang take up motorcycling? A.Inspired by confident riders. B.To escape work pressure. C.Encouraged by her teacher. D.To travel faster and seek freedom. 27.What message does Jiang's story convey? A.Diverse passions lead to a fulfilling life. B.Grace and freedom are important in life. C.Expressing differently is key to growth. D.Work and personal life should be shifted. 0 It seems like every day there's another study pointing to how this or that modern technology is destroying our ability to focus.But what if the problem is that we are expected to focus too much? By not giving our brains enough downtime,maybe we are actually making the problems worse. Ever since I was a little kid,I have felt guilty about daydreaming.While I was never directly discouraged from dreaming as a kid,as I've gotten older,the notes I've gotten from our culture certainly have told me I was wasting my time whenever my head was in the clouds. Yet,it never felt right to shut down that daydreaming.For one,it was too fun.How amazing is it that as humans,we get to go anywhere,do anything,be a different version of ourselves-all safely within our heads?But don't just take my word for it:In the July,2012 issue of Perspectives on Psychological Science,psychological scientist Mary Helen Immordino-Yang and her colleagues gathered a number of studies and explored them for details about the brain at rest,with some of the results summarized in ScienceDaily."Findings suggest that individual differences in brain activity during rest are correlated with components of socio-emotional functioning,such as self-awareness and moral judgment,as well as different aspects of learning and memory."So just like sleeping allows our brains to reorganize and finally work more efficiently,daydreaming may help our mental health,day-to-day. And brain "time-outs"may also help kids learn better."We focus on the outside world in education and don't look much at inside focused skills and attentions but inside focus impacts the way we build memories,make meaning and move that learning into new contexts,"says Immordino-Yang.For kids who have been taught some version of inner focus,the studies that Immordino-Yang looked at indicated that they are less likely to suffer from high levels of anxiety, perform better on tests,and do a better job of planning for the future. Next time you see a kid (or adult!)staring off into space,remember that they might actually be getting important work done. 28.What does the underlined words "the problems"refer to in the first paragraph? A.the problems with focus B.the problems with the brain health C.the problems with daydreaming D.the problems with modemn technology 29.Which of the following does NOT belong to the benefits of daydreaming? A.Daydreaming makes life more fascinating. B.Day dreaming is good for kids'mental health C.Daydreaming enables adults to have more job opportunities. D.Daydreaming helps children improve academic performance. 30.What can we infer from the passage? A.Mary's conclusion was based on other researchers'studies. B.The more people sleep,the more efficiently they will work. C.The students taught inner focus will not suffer from anxiety. D.Focusing on the outside world helps us build good memories. 31.What's the author's attitude towards daydreaming as an adult? A.negative B.critical C.uncertain D.favorable D Perhaps you know them as“taters'”,“spuds'',or“Kennebees"”,oras“chips”,Idahoes'”,or even "shoestrings".No matter,a potato by any other name is still a potato-the world's most widely grown vegetable.While some people don't love potatoes because of its calories which may lead to weight-gaining,others may love it like honey.As a matter of fact,if you are an average potato eater,you will put away at least 100 pounds of them each year. That's only a tiny amount grown every year,however.Worldwide,the annual potato harvest is over 6 billion bags.Each bag contains 100 pounds of potatoes,some of them as large as four pounds each.In the United States,farmers fill about 400 million bags a year.That may seem like a lot of"taters",but it leaves the United States a distant third among world potato growers.Polish farmers dig up just over 800 million bags a year,while the Russians lead the world with nearly 1.5 billion bags. People eat potatoes in many ways-baked,mashed,and roasted,to name just three.However, in the United States most potatoes are devoured in the form of French fries.One fast-food chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year.No wonder,then,that the company pays particular attention to the way its fries are prepared. Before any fry makes it to the people who eat at these popular restaurants,it must pass many separate tests.Fail any one of these tests and the potato is rejected.For example,only Russet Burbank potatoes are used.These Idaho potatoes have less water content than other kinds,which can have as much as 80 percent water.Once cut into"shoestrings"shapes,the potatoes are partly fried in a secret blend of oils,sprayed with liquid sugar to brown them,steam dried at high heat, then flash frozen for shipment to individual restaurants. So,now that you realize the enormous size and value of the potato crop,you can understand why most people agree that this part of the food industry is no"small potatoes". 32.What can we learn from the passage about potato? A.All people don't like potatoes. B.Taters aren't a category of potato. C.Potato lovers eat 100 pounds of potato daily. D.Polish farmers harvest the most potatoes in the world 33.Why does the company attach great importance to the way its fries are prepared? A.The fast food chain can only sell this kind of fries. B.American people have a special preference for French fries C.Improper way of cooking may do harm to people's health. D.Good preparation of the fries may attract more consumers. 34.How does paragraph 4 mainly develop? A.By listing figures. B.By providing examples. C.By making comparison. D.By following the order of space. 35.What's the main idea of the passage? A.Potatoes have experienced many changes.B.Potatoes are the most significant vegetable. C.Potatoes are small,but the industry is large.D.Potatoes have been made into different food. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Blind boxes,or mystery boxes,are sealed packages containing surprise items.Buyers don't know exactly what they're purchasing until they open the box.36 It transforms the way collectibles are marketed and purchased.Today,brands like Pop Mart have perfected the formula, offering themed blind boxes that cater to different tastes.

On a piece of paper,we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group.After collecting all the requests,Mrs.B.informed us that she would take into consideration the names we chose and would let us know the results the next day.I had no doubt I would get the group of my choice.Only a few people behaved normally in the class,and Missy was one of them.I knew we had chosen each other. The next day,I anxiously waited for the class.After the bell rang,Missy and I stopped talking as Mrs.B called for our attention.She started to call out names.When she reached group three, Missy's name was called.So,I'm in group three,I thought.The second,third and fourth members of the group were called.My name was not included.There had to be some mistake! Then I heard it.The last group:"Mauro,Juliette,Rachel,Karina."I could feel the tears well in my eyes.How could I face being in that group-the boy who rarely spoke English,the one girl who was always covered by skirts that went down to her ankles,and the other girl who wore weird clothes.Oh,how badly I wanted to be with my friends. I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs.B.She looked at me and knew what I was there for.I was determined to convince her I should be in thegood"group."Why...?"I started. She gently placed a hand on my shoulder."I know what you want,Karina,"she said,'but your group needs you.I need you to help them get a passing grade on this assignment.Only you can help them.’ I was stunned.I was confused.I was amazed.She had seen something in me I hadn't seen. "Will you help them?"she asked. I stood straighter."Yes,"I replied.I couldn't believe it came out of my mouth,but it did.I had committed. I bravely walked to where the others in ny group sat. In the end,Mrs.B gave us an A on that assignment. 8
