Here are some practical tips to help you plan. 1.Consider Seasons Hotels in popular tourist destinations follow seasonal patterns,so the best time to book can depend on when you're traveling: High Season(summer,holidays,school breaks):Book 46 months in advance. Shoulder Season(spring,fall):Book 2-3 months ahead. Low Season (usually winter,except holidays):Booking 1 month in advance is usually enough. 2.Check Local Events and Holidays Local events and holidays can dramatically affect hotel availability,as rooms fill up quickly for big events. Special events(festivals,conventions,sports):Book 6-12 months early. National or local holidays:Book 4-6 months in advance. 3.Think About Hotel Type Different hotels have different demands. Budget hotels:Booking 1-2 months ahead is usually fine. Luxury hotels:Book 3-6 months early,especially for suites or special amenities Special rooms(family rooms,view rooms):Reserve 6-12 months ahead. 4.Look for Free Cancellation Many hotels offer free cancellation.Booking early with flexible options lets you rebook at a lower price if rates drop.Aim for hotels that allow changes when booking 3-6 months ahead. 2024级高二7月初期末质量检测·英语第3页共10页 5.Last-Minute Deals Sometimes last-minute booking can save money,especially in off-peak seasons. Apps like HotelTonight help find deals.But this is risky in popular destinations or busy seasons.

C.Room scarcity requires earlier booking. D.Free cancellation guarantees price drops. B For most families,Mother's Day is a joyous occasion marked by flowers,special meals,and heartfelt phone calls home.Yet,for those who have lost their mothers,this holiday can be incredibly lonely and emotionally painful.Seeking to offer comfort to such individuals,Zane's Italian Bistro in Denver decided to take an extraordinary step. The restaurant is offering free meals to anyone who is grieving the loss of their mother.The owner,Zane Anderson,first shared his idea on TikTok,saying he wanted to buy dinner for those without moms.The post rapidly gained attention,drawing hundreds of visitors to the restaurant.Some brought photographs of their mothers, others recounted cherished memories,and one visitor even brought her mother's ashes. Anderson came up with this kind idea from his own experience losing his mother, Gayle,in 2019.He fully understands the emotional difficulty of this time of year.He believes that if he can make someone feel special during a difficult week,it is absolutely worth it.The restaurant soon turned into a place of support,where people could share stories and realize they were not alone in their sadness. Among the visitors were Dan Snider and his wife,Adrienne.Dan's adoptive mother took him in from foster care(寄养家庭)when he was a child,and losing her was very hard for him.Adrienne explained that Mother's Day is difficult because many families visit cemeteries()instead of having celebrations.She also noted that food is deeply connected to memory,as mothers often show love through cooking. Despite the increasing costs of running the restaurant,Anderson believes that providing emotional support is more important than financial gain.For Dan,the experience 2024级高二7月初期末质量检测·英语第4页共10页 was a reminder to treasure every moment with loved ones.While he enjoyed the comforting Italian food,he smiled and admitted,"It's good,but it's just not my mom's." 24.Why did Zane's Italian Bistro offer free meals? A.To attract more customers. B.To help those missing their moms. C.To show off the restaurant's food. D.To celebrate Mother's Day in a way. 25.What inspired Zane to start this activity? A.A suggestion from his friends. B.The popularity of TikTok posts. C.His own experience of losing his mom. D.The need to increase restaurant income. 26.What does Dan's last sentence imply? A.His mom was a better cook. B.The meal fails to comfort him. C.He misses his mother's cooking. D.He prefers Italian home cooking. 27.Which of the following best describes Zane Anderson? A.A caring soul full of understanding. B.A generous cook good at Italian food. C.A creative manager full of business ideas. D.A successful businessman focused on fame. c Fast fashion is the production of cheap,low-quality clothes that are made and sold very quickly to follow the latest trends.Famous brands like Zara,H&M,and UNIQLO are typical examples.These companies attract customers with low prices, encouraging people to buy more than they need.For many,it seems much cheaper to buy low-priced,short-lived clothes than to spend money on high-quality clothes that may soon go out of style. However,this cycle of buying and throwing away of clothes creates serious environmental problems.The fast fashion industry is responsible for about 8%of global carbon emissions-more than all international flights and sea shipping combined.These emissions come not only from making the clothes but also from shipping them worldwide and throwing them away. Water is another major concern.The fashion industry is the second-largest consumer of water globally.For example,producing just one cotton shirt requires about 2,660 liters of water,while a pair of jeans needs nearly 7,600 liters.Furthermore, textile dyeing(纺织品染色)is a leading cause of water pollution,as harmful chemicals are often poured into rivers. Additionally,fast fashion contributes to plastic pollution.Many brands use synthetic fibers(合成纤维)like polyester,which take hundreds of years to break down. 2024级高二7月初期末质量检测·英语第5页共10页 Shockingly,about 35%of the microplastics found in the ocean come from washing these plastic-based clothes. So,what can we do?While it is inviting to buy fashionable and affordable collections,we must rethink our choices.Fashion expert Patsy Perry advises,"Less is more."We can support sustainable companies and reduce the number of clothes we buy. Good quality clothes may cost more at first,but they last longer and are worth the money over time.By making smarter choices,we can help protect our planet. 28.Why do many people prefer fast fashion clothes? A.They seem to cost less. B.They can last a long time. C.They look always fashionable D.They are better for the environment. 29.What can we learn about synthetic fibers from the text? A.They are safer than cotton. B.They break down very quickly. C.Washing them pollutes the ocean. D.They help reduce carbon emissions. 30.What do Patsy Perry's words "Less is more"imply? A.Buying less means spending less. B.Buying less brings more benefits. C.Cheap clothes are more valuable. D.High-quality clothes go out of style. 31.What is the best title for the text? A.Fast Fashion:Trends and Styles B.Fast Fashion:Price and Quality C.Fast Fashion:Benefits and Risks D.Fast Fashion:Problems and Solutions D Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)have made a surprising discovery::rice seeds that“hear”the sound of raindrops seem to sprout(发芽) faster than those that do not.This study is the first to suggest that seeds can actually sense sound and use the information to help them decide the best time to grow. It might sound strange,but it is not completely new to say that plants can"hear". In the past,scientists found that plants could respond to the sounds made by hungry insects.Now,the MIT researchers believe that rice seeds can sense the sound of raindrops hitting the water and use it to their advantage. To test this idea,the scientists placed thousands of rice seeds in shallow pools of water.Some pools were kept completely quiet,while others had falling water drops to imitate real rain.The results showed that seeds exposed to the sound of rain sprouted about 30-40%faster than those in the quiet pools.The team believes this faster growth gives the seeds a better chance of surviving. But how do seeds "hear"?Sound is actually a vibration().Inside the seed cells,there are tiny,heavy grains that help seeds know which way is down.When rain hits the water,it creates powerful vibrations.These vibrations shake the tiny grains inside the seeds,which likely helps trigger them to sprout earlier. 2024级高二7月初期末质量检测·英语第6页共10页 The researchers think sensing rain sounds helps seeds make sure they are in a good spot to grow.If a seed can feel the vibrations of the rain,it is probably close enough to the surface to get enough water and sunlight.Although this experiment only studied rice, scientists believe other kinds of seeds might also be able to"hear"the rain. 32.What happened to rice seeds hearing raindrop sounds? A.They produced more rice. C.They could sense hungry insects. B.They grew 30-40%taller. 33.How did scientists test their idea? D.They started growing much earlier. A.By playing music to seeds. C.By using real rain in the test. B.By changing seed positions. D.By comparing two seed groups. 34.Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word"trigger"in Paragraph 4? A.Cause to begin. B.Speed up slowly C.Prevent from starting D.Change into another form. 35.What is the main reason why seeds"listen"to the rain? A.To know when to grow. C.To absorb more sunlight. B.To enjoy nature sounds. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) D.To protect themselves from insects. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有 两项为多余选项。 When you think of reading,you might picture yourself comfortably seated with a book on a drizzly afternoon or visiting a library or bookstore.Many adults read,with approximately 74%having read at least one book.36On average,adults spend merely 7 to 18 minutes reading per day,except for those over 65,who spend 35 to 51 minutes.People read for various purposes:for enjoyment,for knowledge acquisition, or to keep themselves informed. 37 It is a personal activity that can bring joy,promote mental relaxation,and help you grow.Even if you feel too busy,read slowly,or do not enjoy it yet,reading can still prove valuable in your everyday life. One notable advantage of reading is the enrichment of your vocabulary.38 Using these words can make your writing and speaking better,and it can also make you sound smarter. Reading also deepens your understanding of the world.Both fiction and non-fiction offer insights into history,culture,science,mental health,leadership,and beyond.39 With many genres-biographies,historical stories,adventure,drama, self-help,and business-you can always find books that introduce fresh perspectives. Finally,reading serves as a tool for stress reduction and imaginative expansion. Unlike reading for school or work,reading for fun lets you take a break,relax,and enjoy a story.40 Reading is not merely about learning words-it is a way to grow,reflect,and imagine beyond daily routine. 2024级高二7月初期末质量检测·英语第7页共10页 A.It helps you think clearly and feel calm. B.Yet,their daily reading time is surprisingly low. C.In fact,many people buy books but never read them. D.Reading aloud helps improve your pronunciation greatly. E.You can use this knowledge in school,work,or personal life F.Reading for enjoyment lets you choose what interests you most. G.You can learn new words naturally from the books or articles you read. 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以 填人空白处的最佳选项。 At 99,Nita Draut shows it's never too late to start something new.She picked up a pencil for the very first time at age 70,41 out of curiosity.What was once a hobby has grown into a(n)42 journey.Now her work is being shown at Fusion Art Gallery as she 43 100.

By eight-thirty,Dad was still not back.Leo sat heavily on the sofa,feeling both sad and worried.Without that string,his hard work would be wasted."He must be working late again and forgot about me,"Leo thought.He felt a little angry at first. Dad always seemed too busy with his work.But then,fear took over his anger.He looked at the guitar,feeling helpless.The rain was getting heavier,and the streets must be flooded.Dad's shop was far away,and driving in such a terrible storm was very dangerous.As the clock ticked,he became more and more worried about his dad's safety.He just wanted his dad to come home safe. Suddenly,he heard footsteps outside.The door opened,and Dad stepped in.He was wet all over,and water dropped from his coat to the floor,making a small puddle. His hair stuck to his face,and he was shivering slightly.His face was pale from the cold,but his tired eyes looked for Leo right away.
