1．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，F(xiàn)ridays 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!
◆ Check for a Student Discount
As a student，you might be in luck.Some airlines，say，SAS （Scandinavian Airlines），have a student ticket which means that for up to one week before departure，students pay the cheapest fare.Normal travelers at that time have to pay a much higher price，but a SAS Youth Ticket may be only one quarter the price of a normal ticket.
◆ Keep an Eye for Special Deals
Before looking for specific flights，make sure you've signed up for some newsletters.Joining the mailing list for airlines will give you access to the absolute best deals.More often than not，cheap flights are only available for a limited window （usually 24 hours）.Keeping your eye on the deals will ensure you don't miss an amazing opportunity.

3．The first Chinese characters date from the late Shang Dynasty，some 3，000 years ago，originally made for the purposes of divination （占卜）.They were written on pieces of tortoiseshell and fragments of bone.
During the Shang Dynasty，divination was very important.To those who knew how to read them，it was belief that exhibits of shell and bone could foretell the future，tell you when to sacrifice，when to harvest，and when illness would strike.So，it was these diviners seeking to unlock the future that accidentally provided us with a key to the past.These oracle bones （甲骨） offer us a precious glimpse of life in China some three thousand years ago.
Of the four thousand characters used in these descriptions，so far 1500 have been deciphered.Through them，we can reconstruct a day in the life of a Shang Dynasty man.
It was that by a combination of careful observation and incredible imagination，the people of the Shang dynasty turned what they saw，did，and felt into symbols that could be written on turtle shells and animal bones- the very first Chinese characters.
In pictograph characters like "Tian"，meaning farm，simple lines were used to outline the shape of something.But more abstract concepts could be described，too.For example，a short horizontal stroke above a long one meant "above"，a short stroke below a long one meant "below".By combining more than one character into one，even more complex ideas could be expressed.Take Jio，meaning wine，for example，a combination of the character for cup or container and water.Other characters would combine one character indicating a certain sound with another specifying meaning.Yang，for example，meaning wander.
Thanks to the Chinese characters on the oracle bones，Chinese civilization could at last be recorded and passed down the generations.Strange as it may seem，the complex system of writing we use today began life thousands of years ago as scratches on bits of bone.Now they're rooted in hearts and minds of more than a billion people.
（1）What were the first Chinese characters initially used for？
A．Serving the rulers.
B．Recording the past.
C．Showing natural power.
D．Unlocking the future.
（2）What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 3？
A．Identified.
B．Destroyed.
C．Discovered.
D．Simplified.
（3）What does Paragraph 5 focus on about the first Chinese characters？
A．The evolution.
B．The formation.
C．The connection.
D．The meaning.
（4）What is the purpose of the text？
A．To introduce oracle bone script.
B．To stress the value of Chinese characters.
C．To highlight the birth of Chinese culture.
D．To offer a glimpse of life in Shang Dynasty.組卷：2引用：1難度：0.5

I Survived Quicksand （流沙） It was February 16，2019，at 8 a.m.jye.ai my friend，Jessica，and I arrived at Utah's Zion National Park.We'd traveled from our home in Mesa，Arizona，well - prepared to hike the nine - mile - long Subway Trail （about 15 kilometers），so named because of its shocking tunnel - shaped canyon.Halfway through our walk，which included climbing over rocks and fording （涉過） streams，the sunshine gave way to a light snow.Soon after，we reached the rust - colored walls of the Subway Trail.A small pond stood in our way，with the trail continuing on the other side.Because the pond looked shallow，we began to ford，with Jessica leading the way.
About five feet from the edge，her front foot sank into the sandy bottom.Then she fell forward and both legs started to sink.I moved cautiously close to her，grabbed her under the shoulders，and pulled her out.She climbed back to the shore，tired but relieved.But now I was sinking.The sand came all the way up to my right hip and left calf （腿肚）.I freed my left leg but couldn't move my right leg at all.Jessica handed me a long stick we d picked up earlier in the hike.I jammed it down the side of my leg and tried to pull it out.Nothing.I was stuck in quicksand.
Jessica started removing sand with both hands，but it was refilling faster than she could pull it out. "Don't bother，" I told her. "You're just wasting your energy." While I was no longer sinking，I wasn't getting out，either.We were shocked to find there was no cellphone signal because the only cell reception was back at the start，five hours away over rough terrain.I told Jessica she had to hike back and call for help.She was scared- she had only ever hiked with me and was scared of hiking alone on a trail the National Park Service calls "very tough." But we were out of choices.
Paragraph 1：Thirty minutes after Jessica left，it started to snow heavily.__________________________
Paragraph 2：After what seemed a life - long time，a light shone across my eyes.___________________組卷：6引用：1難度：0.4
