Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2020·郑州质量预测)Four teenage girls from Minnesota, US. 120 hours of nonstop togetherness. No cellphones. This is not a reality show, but an adventure journey.
“It was really perfect，” said Julia Ruelle of her recent adventure to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness with three of her childhood friends. “By unplugging, we had an amazing time.”
Last year, the 16­year­old took part in an essay contest and carried off a prize. The award was a 5­day canoe and camping adventure with up to three friends. No parents or guides would be there. So Julia invited her friends Anna Wander, Madeline Wilson and Julianna Torelli.
The four Minnetonka High School juniors arrived in Ely for training the day before they began the journey. They set out the next day at 7 a．m., quickly developing a routine.
“We were done paddling by noon，” Julia said. “We ate lunch at the campsites and then it was time for hammocks(吊床), reading, making friendship bracelets(手镯) and talking.”
The girls all had experience in the outdoors before.
Anna had been to the Boundary Waters with her family. “I love how you are separated from everything in your life, especially technology, ” Anna said. Without her phone, she said, “I’m less worried about things.” Madeline, too, had been to the Boundary Waters a few years ago. “But this time, I had to paddle right and set up camp，” she said. The girls made fire and cooked meal together. No one was ever hungry or homesick, but they were nervous in the final night as they waited out a thunderstorm. They left wet sleeping bags in one tent, and squeezed into another for the night. “Every thunderstorm in the Boundary Waters feels huge，” Julia said.
On the car ride home, they were all on their phones catching up with friends. “It was a little at a loss turning my phone on，” said Anna. “Mental health can be improved so much in the Boundary Waters. It really helps to get away and reconnect with yourself.”

(2020·潍坊统一考试)
When traveling on a budget, every dollar counts. Unfortunately, the cost of tickets alone can make a serious hole in your savings. Don’t let that stop you from taking your dream vacation, though. According to Jeff Klee, CEO of CheapAir.com, there is a “sweet spot” to get the biggest bang for your buck.
“The most important rule is fairly obvious: don’t wait until the last minute, as that rarely works out，” he said in a statement. “But beyond that, you also want to be careful not to buy too early.”
Still, that’s easier said than done. Finding the most cost­efficient time to book is tough. Luckily, somebody did the math—so you don’t have to. Data crunchers from the online travel agency CheapAir.com surveyed over 917 million fares to determine the day with the cheapest rates.
Here’s what they found: while prices tend to stay the same between 320 and 106 days before a trip, they start dropping at the 105­day mark. That said, you might be tempted to book the moment prices drop. But hold on! You’ll save even more money by booking precisely 70 days before your trip. According to CheapAir.com, you can save 48 percent of the ticket’s total cost by using this trick. After that date, airfares will begin to increase again. And don’t even think about booking any later than 20 days ahead of time, as prices will be soaring.
So, what are you waiting for? Start planning your next dream vacation, and book accordingly. Your wallet will thank you—guaranteed.
【解题导语】　本文主要介绍了购买便宜飞机票的方法和策略。
4．When can we book our plane tickets to save the most money?
A．The later, the better.
B．As early as possible.
C．105 days before our trip.
D．70 days before our trip.
D　解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的内容尤其是第四句“You’ll save even more money by booking precisely 70 days before your trip.”可知，旅行70天前预订机票节省的钱最多，故选D。
5．How much can the trick help us save if the ticket costs $400 totally?
A．$48.　　　　　　　　 B．$192.
C．$208. D．$352.
B　解析：数字计算题。根据第四段第五句“According to CheapAir.com, you can save 48 percent of the ticket’s total cost by using this trick.”，并结合题干可知，原价是400美元的飞机票总共可以节省：$400×48%＝$192，故选B。
6．What’s the purpose of the author in writing this text?
A．To explain what a “sweet spot” is.
B．To attract people to traveling by plane.
C．To show the ways of booking plane tickets.
D．To tell people how to buy cheap plane tickets.
D　解析：写作意图题。根据第一段第一句“When traveling on a budget, every dollar counts.”和对本文的整体理解可推知，本文的主要目的是介绍购买便宜飞机票的策略和方法，故选D。
