From delays to strikes,trains aren't always the smoothest way to travel.__1__ Just a few months ago,they went up on average by 4.9% in England.Fortunately,there are ways to bring down the cost of your ticket.
First up,think about how you book your tickets.Some third party sites will charge you for most bookings.__2__ Some official booking sites and apps have loyalty programs,such as LNER which offers 2% back on journeys on its routes.Uber also sells train tickets and until the end of June it offers 10% back in credits.
__3__ With most rail operators,the earlier you book your ticket,the cheaper it's going to be.You'll usually be able to pick up advance fares 12 weeks before you travel,and prices gradually rise the closer you get to your departure date.Some routes will have advance prices up until the day before and even on the day.
A split ticket shouldn't work,but it can.Don't buy a direct ticket from A to B.__4__ At its most basic,you'll go from A to C,then from C to B,though it could easily be a longer chain.It works best on long journeys.
If you're regularly travelling on the same route most days,then a season ticket will save you money.Of course that will involve a larger upfront cost,so it's worth seeing if you can get an interestfree loan from your employer for this which you'll pay back via your salary.__5__ Just make sure with the latter that you pay at least the minimum amount each month and that you clear the full balance before the year is out.
A.They're also not that cheap.
B.Booking in advance also helps.
C.They are not as fast and convenient as planes,either.
D.However,with careful calculations,you have a lot to gain.
E.Instead,buy multiple tickets that break the journey up,and pay less.
F.But if instead you go direct with a rail company,you can avoid this.
G.If not,you can try a zeropercent interest purchase credit card which will do the same thing.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述几种节省火车票成本的方法。
1.A [由下文“Just a few months ago,they went up on average by 4.9% in England.”可知,英国火车票涨价了,由此推断,空处也和火车票有关。A项“They're also not that cheap.”中not that cheap与下文中“went up on average by 4.9%”对应。故选A。]
2.F [由上文“Some third party sites will charge you for most bookings.”可知,从第三方网站订票会增加成本,下文则提到一些官方网站的政策。所以空处与上文构成转折。F项“But if instead you go direct with a rail company,you can avoid this.”引出下文,其中this代指上文内容,有承上启下作用。故选F。]
3.B [由下文“With most rail operators,the earlier you book your ticket,the cheaper it's going to be...Some routes will have advance prices up until the day before and even on the day.”可知,本段主要讲提前订票会让价格便宜一些,B项“Booking in advance also helps.”对本段有总括作用。故选B。]
4.E [由上文“Don't buy a ticket from A to B.”和下文“At its most basic,you'll go from A to C,then from C to B,though it could easily be a longer chain.It works best on long journeys.”可知,这里建议分段买票,E项“Instead,buy multiple tickets that break the journey up,and pay less.”与上文构成转折并引出下文,下文具体举例说明怎样购买分散路程票。故选E。]
5.G [由上文“If you're regularly travelling on the same route most days,then a season ticket will save you money.Of course that will involve a larger upfront cost,so it's worth seeing if you can get an interestfree loan from your employer for this which you'll pay back via your salary.”可知,上文提出了一个如何买季票的方案,由下文“Just make sure with the latter...”可知,空处说明如果第一个方案不可行,就要用另外的方法,G项“If not,you can try a zeropercent interest purchase credit card which will do the same thing.”承上启下,符合语境。故选G。]

Art Appreciation
Art appreciation is an often overlooked skill.It's more than simply looking at a piece of art and judging it based on what we see.It requires us to look deeper,beyond the surface into the artist's intention.__1__ The following tips would help you achieve it.
The first step is to prepare yourself mentally.Before you begin viewing any artwork,take moments to clear your mind of what a piece you think should look like.__2__ That's because an artist can present a unique visual experience by combining line,shape,form,color and space creatively.
Besides,examine the artwork closely.Take note of its elements mentioned above.Consider how these elements work together to convey meaning or emotion in the piece.Notice how the work makes you feel.__3__ What can I see? What is the artwork saying? What feelings does it arouse in me?
__4__ Information about the artist and when the artwork was created can help you uncover the deeper symbolism present in the work that may not be immediately evident.Art is often used as a tool for social change.To appreciate art,it's important to understand the context where it was created.The context behind a piece can be found through research and analysis.
Last but not least,sharing opinions on art also helps.Try discussing your thoughts on artwork with friends or family who may have different opinions.Taking the diverse understandings into consideration,you can approach viewing artwork from different viewpoints.As a result,you can gain a new appreciation every time you look at it.__5__
A.Relevant research counts as well.
B.Engage all your senses and ask yourself questions.
C.The process can bring you a fun and educational trip.
D.Leave your feelings aside and check out the questions.
E.To sum up,communication can also do good to your art appreciation.
F.With the previous ideas,you can get well prepared for the appreciation.
G.This will help you open up to different perspectives when exploring the work.

(2025·重庆三模·主题同源2025全国高考Ⅱ卷)
Throughout my childhood, I listened to adults repeatedly describe children as selfcentered.__1__ I founded the nonprofit organization Colorbreak in 2019 to prove that kids can help others.When my brother Jason was seriously ill, doctors at Sick Kids hospital saved him.Inspired by their kindness, I wanted to help suffering children, too.Today, Colorbreak is run entirely by youth volunteers.I'm amazed by the students I work with who feel passionate about making a difference.
__2__ One of those is that volunteering creates a brighter future, for it provides vital assistance for worthy causes and people in need.__3__ For example, volunteering helps kids build empathy(共情), as they give their time and care to help someone who is in need of help.While volunteering, you may meet new people, and talking with a stranger who shares your interests and is working for the same cause may turn into a pleasant experience.Bringing existing friends along on a project can be a fun way to bond with them.__4__
Volunteering fosters the development of young people all over the world by encouraging them to connect, communicate, and make plans to help their communities.Getting involved early and often can help you understand how important volunteering is.__5__ You can volunteer at your local library, an animal shelter, a community center, and more!
A.Well, I disagree with that.
B.The possibilities are endless.
C.What are the causes of the phenomenon?
D.There are also many benefits for volunteers themselves.
E.Thus, committing to a shared activity increases your sense of happiness.
F.Volunteering also helps to form a friendship between volunteers and those in need.

语篇解读 本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了作者对于“孩子是自我中心的”这一观点的不同意,并通过自己创立非营利组织Colorbreak的经历,阐述了孩子可以帮助他人的事实。文章还列举了志愿者活动的多个好处,并鼓励读者积极参与志愿者活动,以及可以参与志愿者活动的多种场所。
1.A [空前“Throughout my childhood, I listened to adults repeatedly describe children as selfcentered.(在我的整个童年时期,我总是听到大人们反复形容孩子们是“以自我为中心的”。)”提到成年人反复形容孩子以自我为中心;而空后“I founded the nonprofit organization Colorbreak in 2019 to prove that kids can help others.(于是在2019年成立了非营利组织 Colorbreak,旨在证明孩子们也能帮助他人。)”则指出作者成立非营利组织证明孩子可以帮助他人。选项A(对此我并不认同。)直接表达对前文观点的反对,形成转折,逻辑连贯。故选A。]
2.G [空后“One of those is that volunteering creates a brighter future, for it provides vital assistance for worthy causes and people in need.(其中之一是,志愿服务能创造更光明的未来,因为它为有价值的事业和有需要的人提供了重要帮助。)”列举“志愿服务创造更光明的未来”、“提供重要帮助”等,均为学生参与志愿活动的原因。选项G(学生应该参与志愿服务的原因有很多。)引出下文对原因的具体阐述,符合段落结构。故选G。]

4.E [上文“While volunteering, you may meet new people, and talking with a stranger who shares your interests and is working for the same cause may turn into a pleasant experience.Bringing existing friends along on a project can be a fun way to bond with them.(在志愿服务过程中,你可能会结识新朋友,与一个和你有共同兴趣、为同一事业努力的陌生人交谈,可能会成为一段愉快的经历。带上现有的朋友一起参与项目,也是与他们建立更紧密联系的有趣方式。)”提到“与有共同兴趣的陌生人交流”、“和朋友一起参与项目”是愉快的经历。选项E(因此,投身于一项共同的活动会提升你的幸福感。)以“Thus”总结,指出共同参与活动能提升幸福感,是对前文的逻辑延伸。故选E。]
5.B [空后“You can volunteer at your local library, an animal shelter, a community center, and more!(你可以在当地图书馆、动物收容所、社区中心等地方参与志愿服务!)”列举了“图书馆、动物收容所、社区中心”等多种志愿场景。选项B(志愿的可能性是无穷无尽的!)概括了志愿机会的多样性,与后文例子呼应。故选B。]
