Booking flights can be really exciting，but the prices might shock you into not booking your dream vacation.Never fear! We’ve offered some best tips for finding the cheapest airfares.
◆ Be Flexible with Your Travel Dates and Times
Airline ticket prices vary greatly depending on the day of the week and time of the year.In general，Fridays and Sundays are the most desirable days，so tickets will be pricier.Prices are cheaper if you fly after a major holiday.Airlines know when a festival，holiday，or school break is coming up—and they raise prices accordingly.Be flexible with your dates and times，and you’ll save yourself some major money.
◆ Use Multiple Flight Platforms
Checking between the different platforms can often provide you with better insights into flight combinations and prices—for the same exact flights.Different platforms have different advantages and features，so play around with them all.You’ll quickly determine the one(s) you like best!

Recently，homeless people across Chicago faced freezing to death if they couldn’t find shelter for the night.Thankfully，one local woman refused to let that happen.
In late January of 2021，Chicago experienced some of the coldest temperatures that the city has seen in decades.Sadly，more than 100 homeless people were left outside directly exposed to the deadly environment.
Candice Payne was lucky enough to have a shelter from the dangerous conditions.However，she couldn’t stop thinking about the homeless people in the area who had nowhere to go.Payne started brainstorming different ways she could possibly help.At last，she decided to see if there were any rooms available at local hotels that she could purchase for the people on the street.
However，many of the local hotels refused to allow her to pay for the rooms.“No one wanted them，but one hotel，the Amber Inn，that was nice enough to allow me to buy the rooms，” Payne told TODAY.
According to Payne，each room cost $70 per night.Without hesitating，she purchased 30 rooms for the night with her credit card.She then reached out to strangers，asking if anyone would like to help out with paying for more rooms.Strangers donated money，which helped Payne pay for a total of 60 rooms for five nights.
Payne’s selfless act made news across the country.However，she insisted she never did it for attention.“I am a regular person，” said Payne，who spent thousands of dollars of her own money helping complete strangers.“It all sounded like a rich person did this，but I’m just a little black girl from the South Side.I thought it was impossible，but after seeing this and seeing people from all around the world，that just tells me it’s possible.We can all do this together.”
24．How much did Payne pay the Amber Inn for the rooms in total
A．$2,100. B．$4,200.
C．$21,000. D．$10,500.
25．Which of the following can best describe Payne

B．Wealthy and friendly.
C．Determined and honest.
D．Ambitious and faithful.

Tuna sashimi may be tasty but every bite comes with a high body count: the millions of sharks killed each year when they’re accidentally caught by industrial fishing vessels.Now a new technology has shown promising results in sharply reducing the killing of a top predator key to keeping ocean ecosystems healthy.
The cylindrical(圆柱形的) device，called SharkGuard，was developed by Fishtek Marine，a UK company in 2020.The SharkGuard capsule is attached to a baited fishing hook.It contains a battery-powered capacitor that generates a three-dimensional electric field，which can be sensed by sharks.The electrical pulse overstimulates the animal’s electroreceptors that it uses to locate prey，and shocks the shark away from the hook.
In July and August 2021，two vessels fishing for bluefin tuna off the south coast of France tested SharkGuard on hundreds of baited hooks.During the trials，“bycatch” of blue sharks per 1,000 hooks fell by 91.3%.
An estimated 100 million sharks are killed annually by commercial fisheries and shark populations have fallen 71% since 1970，according to scientists.
“I see this as being potentially a game-changer，” said Rachel Graham，a marine scientist.“The use of these instruments will be very helpful for companies to be able to label their tuna or their other target species as being ‘shark safe’，like they do with dolphin-safe tuna.”
However，the current version of the device has its limitations and it is not yet commercially available.The battery must be changed after 65 hours，which would not be feasible for vessels that deploy thousands of hooks on fishing lines that can stretch for miles.
A solution，though，is under development.Fishtek has obtained funding from the government to create an induction(电磁感应) charging system that would be built into the bins that store longline hooks.When the hooks are reeled in，they would dock in a charging cup and be fully powered for the next deployment.
28．What does the underlined part “a top predator” in the first paragraph refer to
A．Sharks. B．Tunas.
C．Vessels. D．Hooks.
29．What does the second paragraph mainly tell us
A．What SharkGuard is.
B．How SharkGuard works.
C．Why SharkGuard is invented.
D．What effects SharkGuard has.
30．What is Rachel Graham’s attitude towards SharkGuard
A．Doubtful. B．Uncaring.
C．Disapproving. D．Favorable.
31．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A．The device will be tested soon.
B．The device has been widely used.
C．The device needs to be improved.
D．The device doesn’t need charging.

Cultivated(培育) meat，also known as lab-grown meat，has been cleared for sale in the US.
Upside Foods and Good Meat，two companies that make “cultivated chicken”，said that they have gotten approval from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to start producing their cell-based proteins.Good Meat said that production is starting immediately.Cultivated meat is grown in a giant vat(缸)，much like what you’d find at a beer factory.
Last week，both companies revealed that the USDA approved labels for their products.In March，Good Meat received a “no questions” letter from the FDA，confirming the product’s safety for sale in the US.Upside Foods also received one in November.Both the USDA and the FDA are overseeing the growing cultivated meat market.CEO of Good Meat，Josh Tetrick，described the approval as a major milestone for the company，the industry，and the food system.Upside Foods founder Uma Valeti called the approval “a giant step forward towards a more sustainable future”．
Good Meat，which has been selling its products in Singapore，advertises its product as “meat without slaughter(屠宰)”，a more humane approach to eating meat.Supporters hope that cultivated meat will help fight climate change by reducing the need for traditional animal agriculture，which emits greenhouse gases.The company previously announced a partnership with chef José Andrés to introduce the product to a Washington DC restaurant，although the launch time remains uncertain.As production increases，Good Meat may explore cooperation with other restaurants or supermarkets.
Upside Foods is planning to introduce its product at Bar Crenn，a San Francisco restaurant，but did not share a launch date yet.Selling at Bar Crenn should help Upside Foods learn more about how chefs and diners feel about the product.Eventually，the company plans to work with other restaurants and make its products available in supermarkets.For now，it is holding a contest to allow curious customers to be among the first to try the product.
32．What is the potential benefit of cultivated meat
A．Higher safety for eating.
B．Lower costs for restaurants.
C．Positive impacts on climate change.
D．Improvements in traditional animal agriculture.
33．What do Upside Foods and Good Meat have in common
A．Both have partnerships with international chefs.
B．Both are involved in producing lab-grown meat.
C．Both declared a launch date of their cultivated meat.
D．Both received FDA approval for worldwide distribution.
34．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．Diners have access to free products from Upside Foods.
B．Curious customers will become the main force of buying.
C．Upside Foods will evaluate the responses of chefs and diners to its product.
D．Upside Foods will conduct a survey among diners about their paying ability.
35．What is the text mainly about
A．The benefits of cultivated meat.
B．The research on cultivated meat.
C．The approval and prospect of cultivated meat.
D．The history and processing of cultivated meat.

What exactly is the importance of teachers in the current educational landscape The last few years have witnessed the rise of education technology and online tutoring firms. 36 Such people，however，have completely ignored the one thing that makes studying in a proper classroom irreplaceable and that is the importance of teachers.
The Internet has more information about any given topic than any one person can ever hope to possess. 37 Knowing that “tomato is a fruit” is information，and not putting it in a fruit salad is wisdom.This example does a perfect job in illustrating just how important wisdom is in the day-to-day life.Books and the Internet can give you information，but only a teacher can pass on wisdom. 38
Understanding the reason for the poor performance of a particular child and helping them overcome their weaknesses while also pushing the top performers to do better are things only a teacher can do.
You can develop the most amazing online tutoring platform and fill it with amazing and interesting videos but it is never enough. 39 But videos are made for a general audience.They can hardly be sufficient for the problems that students face in their life outside the classroom.Only teachers who have spent time with their students can guide the students in a way that can help them figure a way out of any problem they might be facing in their life.
40 While the list of reasons stating the importance of teachers is a bit too long to put in a single article，these two are sufficient to silence anyone who believes that going to school to be taught by proper teachers will soon become obsolete.
A．Wisdom，however，is something that it badly lacks.
B．Every single student is unique in his or her own way.
C．Teachers are also important in shaping the future of the youth.
D．On this point，the importance of teachers should never be understated.
E．Everything people can possibly learn is freely available on the Internet.
F．Many argue that they might one day completely replace formal schooling.
G．These are just two ways that teachers have a massive impact on their students.

Tyler，my son，has a passion for playing basketball.He always asks me to take him to the gym an hour before practice begins.I often have to convince him to leave the gym after practice is over.Despite not being the most talented player，he still won two trophies(奖杯)，one for his team，second place and the other for himself，a special award.
The story of winning the two trophies began when he was ten years old.The first game of the season arrived.The gym was surprisingly crowded.I saw the happy look in my son’s eyes when he saw me sitting in the stands.
As I watched the other kids running up and down the court，I saw my son sitting on the bench.By the fourth quarter，Tyler hadn’t even touched the ball，and his team had won the game.
The games that followed were pretty much the same.The team kept winning，but Tyler barely touched the ball.He ran so hard when he was on the court，but when he got the ball，he would quickly throw it to a teammate.I would sit there with my heart pounding out of my chest.
On the way home from one of his games，I asked，“Tyler，do you still enjoy basketball？”
He replied，“I like basketball a lot.But I know that some of the kids play better than me，so when I get the ball，I just throw it to them.We are on the same team.It doesn’t matter who scores.”
Weeks of Tyler’s unending enthusiasm and devotion to basketball flew by.Never discouraged，he played hard and kept practicing.I watched him improve.He told me how proud he was to be on such a good team.They were undefeated until last Saturday.
It was the final，their toughest game yet.They played well but the other team were just too strong for them.The championship was slipping out of their reach.Tyler’s teammates started to lose heart.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
As for Tyler，it seemed that the intense situation didn’t affect his movement.
“The Sportsmanship Award goes to Tyler Marsden！”，the host added in the awards ceremony.

Payne’s selfless act made news across the country.However，she insisted she never did it for attention.“I am a regular person，” said Payne，who spent thousands of dollars of her own money helping complete strangers.“It all sounded like a rich person did this，but I’m just a little black girl from the South Side.I thought it was impossible，but after seeing this and seeing people from all around the world，that just tells me it’s possible.We can all do this together.”

Tuna sashimi may be tasty but every bite comes with a high body count: the millions of sharks killed each year when they’re accidentally caught by industrial fishing vessels.Now a new technology has shown promising results in sharply reducing the killing of a top predator key to keeping ocean ecosystems healthy.
The cylindrical(圆柱形的) device，called SharkGuard，was developed by Fishtek Marine，a UK company in 2020.The SharkGuard capsule is attached to a baited fishing hook.It contains a battery-powered capacitor that generates a three-dimensional electric field，which can be sensed by sharks.The electrical pulse overstimulates the animal’s electroreceptors that it uses to locate prey，and shocks the shark away from the hook.
In July and August 2021，two vessels fishing for bluefin tuna off the south coast of France tested SharkGuard on hundreds of baited hooks.During the trials，“bycatch” of blue sharks per 1,000 hooks fell by 91.3%.
An estimated 100 million sharks are killed annually by commercial fisheries and shark populations have fallen 71% since 1970，according to scientists.
“I see this as being potentially a game-changer，” said Rachel Graham，a marine scientist.“The use of these instruments will be very helpful for companies to be able to label their tuna or their other target species as being ‘shark safe’，like they do with dolphin-safe tuna.”
However，the current version of the device has its limitations and it is not yet commercially available.The battery must be changed after 65 hours，which would not be feasible for vessels that deploy thousands of hooks on fishing lines that can stretch for miles.
A solution，though，is under development.Fishtek has obtained funding from the government to create an induction(电磁感应) charging system that would be built into the bins that store longline hooks.When the hooks are reeled in，they would dock in a charging cup and be fully powered for the next deployment.
28．What does the underlined part “a top predator” in the first paragraph refer to
A．Sharks. B．Tunas.
C．Vessels. D．Hooks.
答案　A
解析　词义猜测题。上文“the millions of sharks killed each year when they’re accidentally caught by industrial fishing vessels”提出每年有大量的鲨鱼被工业渔船意外捕获而死亡，结合画线词所在句可推知，句中提及的顶级捕食者就是上文中的鲨鱼。故选A。
29．What does the second paragraph mainly tell us
A．What SharkGuard is.
B．How SharkGuard works.
C．Why SharkGuard is invented.
D．What effects SharkGuard has.
答案　B
解析　段落大意题。根据第二段“The cylindrical(圆柱形的) device，called SharkGuard，was developed by Fishtek Marine，...The SharkGuard capsule is attached to...”可知，第二段主要介绍了SharkGuard是如何工作的。故选B。
30．What is Rachel Graham’s attitude towards SharkGuard
A．Doubtful. B．Uncaring.
C．Disapproving. D．Favorable.
答案　D
解析　观点态度题。根据第五段“‘I see this as being potentially a game-changer，’ said Rachel Graham，a marine scientist.‘The use of these instruments will be very helpful for companies to be able to ...’”可知，Rachel Graham认为这一设备是有帮助的，他赞成SharkGuard的使用。故选D。
31．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs
A．The device will be tested soon.
B．The device has been widely used.
C．The device needs to be improved.
D．The device doesn’t need charging.
答案　C
解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“However，the current version of the device has its limitations and it is not yet commercially available.”以及最后一段的“A solution，though，is under development.”可推断，这个设备还需要进一步改进。故选C。
D
Cultivated(培育) meat，also known as lab-grown meat，has been cleared for sale in the US.
Upside Foods and Good Meat，two companies that make “cultivated chicken”，said that they have gotten approval from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to start producing their cell-based proteins.Good Meat said that production is starting immediately.Cultivated meat is grown in a giant vat(缸)，much like what you’d find at a beer factory.
Last week，both companies revealed that the USDA approved labels for their products.In March，Good Meat received a “no questions” letter from the FDA，confirming the product’s safety for sale in the US.Upside Foods also received one in November.Both the USDA and the FDA are overseeing the growing cultivated meat market.CEO of Good Meat，Josh Tetrick，described the approval as a major milestone for the company，the industry，and the food system.Upside Foods founder Uma Valeti called the approval “a giant step forward towards a more sustainable future”．
Good Meat，which has been selling its products in Singapore，advertises its product as “meat without slaughter(屠宰)”，a more humane approach to eating meat.Supporters hope that cultivated meat will help fight climate change by reducing the need for traditional animal agriculture，which emits greenhouse gases.The company previously announced a partnership with chef José Andrés to introduce the product to a Washington DC restaurant，although the launch time remains uncertain.As production increases，Good Meat may explore cooperation with other restaurants or supermarkets.
Upside Foods is planning to introduce its product at Bar Crenn，a San Francisco restaurant，but did not share a launch date yet.Selling at Bar Crenn should help Upside Foods learn more about how chefs and diners feel about the product.Eventually，the company plans to work with other restaurants and make its products available in supermarkets.For now，it is holding a contest to allow curious customers to be among the first to try the product.

第二节　(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What exactly is the importance of teachers in the current educational landscape The last few years have witnessed the rise of education technology and online tutoring firms. 36 Such people，however，have completely ignored the one thing that makes studying in a proper classroom irreplaceable and that is the importance of teachers.
The Internet has more information about any given topic than any one person can ever hope to possess. 37 Knowing that “tomato is a fruit” is information，and not putting it in a fruit salad is wisdom.This example does a perfect job in illustrating just how important wisdom is in the day-to-day life.Books and the Internet can give you information，but only a teacher can pass on wisdom. 38
Understanding the reason for the poor performance of a particular child and helping them overcome their weaknesses while also pushing the top performers to do better are things only a teacher can do.
You can develop the most amazing online tutoring platform and fill it with amazing and interesting videos but it is never enough. 39 But videos are made for a general audience.They can hardly be sufficient for the problems that students face in their life outside the classroom.Only teachers who have spent time with their students can guide the students in a way that can help them figure a way out of any problem they might be facing in their life.
40 While the list of reasons stating the importance of teachers is a bit too long to put in a single article，these two are sufficient to silence anyone who believes that going to school to be taught by proper teachers will soon become obsolete.
A．Wisdom，however，is something that it badly lacks.
B．Every single student is unique in his or her own way.
C．Teachers are also important in shaping the future of the youth.
D．On this point，the importance of teachers should never be understated.
E．Everything people can possibly learn is freely available on the Internet.
F．Many argue that they might one day completely replace formal schooling.
G．These are just two ways that teachers have a massive impact on their students.

39．答案　B
解析　上文“You can develop the most amazing online tutoring platform and...but it is never enough.”指出也许可以开发最令人惊叹的在线辅导平台，并用令人惊叹和有趣的视频填充它，但这是不够的，空处应说明缘由，再结合下文“But videos are made for a general audience.”说明为普通大众制作的视频是不适合所有学生的，因为每个学生都是独一无二的，故选B。
40．答案　G
解析　下文“While the list of reasons stating the importance of teachers is a bit too long to put in a single article，these two are sufficient to silence anyone...”指出文章提到的这两种老师影响学生的方式足以让那些认为去学校接受合适的教师教育很快就会过时的人无话可说，因此空处应该引起下文，提到这两种方式，故选G。

解析　考查形容词。空格处应用形容词作定语，修饰名词短语“Chinese medicines”，故填traditional。

第二节　(满分25分)
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。
Tyler，my son，has a passion for playing basketball.He always asks me to take him to the gym an hour before practice begins.I often have to convince him to leave the gym after practice is over.Despite not being the most talented player，he still won two trophies(奖杯)，one for his team，second place and the other for himself，a special award.
The story of winning the two trophies began when he was ten years old.The first game of the season arrived.The gym was surprisingly crowded.I saw the happy look in my son’s eyes when he saw me sitting in the stands.
As I watched the other kids running up and down the court，I saw my son sitting on the bench.By the fourth quarter，Tyler hadn’t even touched the ball，and his team had won the game.
The games that followed were pretty much the same.The team kept winning，but Tyler barely touched the ball.He ran so hard when he was on the court，but when he got the ball，he would quickly throw it to a teammate.I would sit there with my heart pounding out of my chest.
On the way home from one of his games，I asked，“Tyler，do you still enjoy basketball？”
He replied，“I like basketball a lot.But I know that some of the kids play better than me，so when I get the ball，I just throw it to them.We are on the same team.It doesn’t matter who scores.”
Weeks of Tyler’s unending enthusiasm and devotion to basketball flew by.Never discouraged，he played hard and kept practicing.I watched him improve.He told me how proud he was to be on such a good team.They were undefeated until last Saturday.
It was the final，their toughest game yet.They played well but the other team were just too strong for them.The championship was slipping out of their reach.Tyler’s teammates started to lose heart.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
As for Tyler，it seemed that the intense situation didn’t affect his movement.
“The Sportsmanship Award goes to Tyler Marsden！”，the host added in the awards ceremony.

As for Tyler，it seemed that the intense situation didn’t affect his movement.While Tyler didn’t score much，his passion inspired the team to focus on the game，not the result.He tried hard to grab the ball and throw it to others.I could see the players were encouraged by his devotion and it gave a lift to the team.Finally，Tyler’s team came in second place.Towards the end of the ceremony，the host announced there was a special award for a very special player
“The Sportsmanship Award goes to Tyler Marsden！”，the host added in the awards ceremony.Seeing his astonished look，I felt tears welling up in my eyes.The images of his efforts flooded to my mind.He showed up every game with a positive attitude.He knew his place while playing，and his teammates spoke highly of him.The other kids were congratulating him when Tyler walked over and picked up his second trophy.His positive attitude and perseverance certainly earned everyone’s respect.
