路。 (1)細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中Although the amputation caused inconvenience for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as nothing short of inspiration for living her best life.。盡管截肢早期給她帶來了很多不便,但她認為這可以激勵她過上最好的生活。由此可知Gallagher想以她獨特的方式表明她把自己的不幸看做是另一種幸運的形式,故選C。 (2)推理判斷題。Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam relaxing on a wall…現(xiàn)在她在整個大陸拍照,應該是這些照片展示了…所以which指代的是她拍的照片,故選B。 (3)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalkboard, Gallagher said. My mum and grandmother didn39。t like the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.Gallagher說她媽媽和外婆都不喜歡她chalkboard的主意,但她的朋友喜歡,讓她去試試,所以她就去了,可知Gallagher很有決心。根據(jù)第二段To spread that message. Gallagher has gone to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the world, but instead of simply using a geotag (地理位置標簽), she writes her location on her artificial leg before taking a picture。Gallagher把她的位置寫在假肢上來和大家分享可知他是一個很有創(chuàng)造性的人,故選C。 (4)主旨大意題。最后一段And if life gives you an artificial leg, make art。是本文的主題句,根據(jù)文章內容可知本文主要描述的是截肢的Gallagher在社交媒體上分享自己環(huán)球旅行的照片,但她并沒有簡單的使用地理標簽,而是拍照前在假肢上寫下自己的位置的故事。這篇文章是想通過Gallagher的一條假肢,傳達出一種樂觀向上的生活態(tài)度,故A Special Artificial Leg是最好的標題。故選A。 【點評】考查閱讀理解。本文涉及細節(jié)理解題、推理判斷題和主旨大意題三種??碱}型,細節(jié)理解題要注意從文中尋找答案;推理判斷題需要聯(lián)系上下文以及分析特殊句式,推斷出需要的信息;主旨大意題需要通讀全文,了解大意之后找出中心思想。7.閱讀理解 With fuel costs rising and airlines finding more fees to impose on travelers every day, airfare isn39。t getting any cheaper. Since you can39。t drive to all your dream destinations, flying is the only way to go sometimes and, undeniably, the fastest. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to find the most affordable fares and also avoid paying as many extra charges as possible when you plan ahead. Getting the best fare. Airlines put out their fare sales on Tuesday morning, making this day the best day to book a flight for less. Fly during the least popular times. Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday are the slowest days to fly, which means cheaper deals than the rest of the week. You can also find reduced rates on early morning flights, since many people don39。t like to get up before the sun to get to the airport. Earlier boarding times can also considerably cut down your chances of getting bumped on an overbooked flight or delayed because of other delayed flights or mechanical issues. Choose your seat later. Some airlines charge you to pick your seat when you book online, adding even more to the bottom line of your ticket cost. If you show up early on your travel day, you can still get suitable seats. Some of the best seats get held back until flight day, unless others are willing to pay extra for them ahead of time, so you still have the chance at one of those. Fly on holidays. You already know that summer is the most expensive time to fly, and even though most other times are more affordable, the days surrounding holidays can be crazy. Save big if you39。re willing to travel on major holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. Don39。t wait until the lastminute to book. Many travelers don39。t know that there39。s a sweet spot for booking and getting the best price on your tickets. Book too early or too late and you could end up paying more than you need to. The best time to book is between three months and six weeks from when you want to travel. Avoiding extra fees Airlines will charge for just about anything these days. Some have even toyed around with charging customers for using the restroom. All those extra fees can certainly add up, but there39。s no reason to pay them if you don39。t have to. Here are some tips to keep money in your wallet once you get to the airport. Avoid the upgrade it39。s not necessary. Sometimes upgrades are free, but mostly you will be charged for seeking a lastminute bump to first class, and the cost can be hefty. Fly carryon only. Baggage fees vary wildly, but almost all airlines charge them and charge big. Why pay for your clothes to fly with you? If everyone in your travel party checks a bag, your bill can be astronomical before you ever even get to your destination. It39。s easy to reduce the amount of stuff you pack: Make sure all your clothing coordinates, so you can take less and still make more outfit binations, take only two pair of shoes, plan to do a bit of laundry on your trip and bring only travelsized toiletries. Pack your own snacks. Unless you39。re flying internationally, it39。s rare your flight es with a free meal. Snacks on the plane are not cheap and almost never healthy. Don39。t rely on what39。s on the small menu and instead tuck some of your own snacks — granola bars, homemade muffins, fruit and trail mix all make fantastic travel foods — into your bag and eat a lot better, and cheaper, than other passengers.
