1．It is the season for long lines and frayed nerves.Here's how to deal.
Lighten up
Do yourself a favor and ship your presents.Nearly every U.S.airline charges a fee to check a bag，so shipping gifts is now cheaper and more convenient than carrying them in your luggage.
Weigh your options
Now knowing what you're going to pay for your luggage is annoying.So calculate your overweight-luggage fees at home.You can find the fees out in advance by visiting new site Luggage Limits，which provides the latest information on more than 90 airlines.
Leave amateurs in the dust
Trust us and get to the airport an extra half-hour early.The check-in and security lines are filled with inexperienced fliers，and it's a hard walking.Plus，if you decide to cut it close，you may not get onto the flight at all.To reduce costs，airlines have reduced on flights and routes.The remaining flights are more likely to be oversold，especially on busy travel days.Fliers who check in early are the least likely to get bumped from oversold flights.
Take it public
The rates for renting a car at the airport have more than doubled over the past year because rental lot inventories （財(cái)產(chǎn)） have increased dramatically.True，renting at the airport is convenient，but it's just not worth it anymore.Unless you really need a car，take public transportation，hop a cab，or beg a friend to pick you up at the airport instead.
Say no to bumper cars
Tell the people picking you up to avoid parking their car.They can hang out in their car for free while waiting to get a call from you when you land.Many airports，including JFK and LAX，now feature this sensible choice.
（1）Airlines have reduced flights to.

（2）We can learn from the passage that.
A．many airports like JFK provides free parking service
B．shipping presents is more expensive than carrying them in luggage
C．taking a cab at the airport is less expensive than renting a car
D．Luggage Limits can give a discount on overweight luggage fees
（3）What's the best title for the passage？
A．Cars at the Airport
B．Good Seasons for Flight
C．How to Board a Flight
D．5 Ways to Survive a Holiday Flight.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5 -
2．When Sally Millsopp，53，with her 17-year-old daughter，Eleanor，participated in Race for Life in 2019.She had no idea if she would get to see her mother Jennifer Earnshaw again，who was desperately ill with a form of lung cancer，but she encouraged the pair to take part in the event as she knew the fundraising would help others.
They managed to make it back to her bedside just in time to show her the photographs.Jennifer，who was a former head teacher，passed away the following day，aged 76.

One in two people in the UK will be diagnosed with cancer，but the good news is more people are surviving the disease now than ever before.Cancer Research UK's Race for Life，in partnership with Tesco，is an inspiring women--only series of 5 k，10 k，Pretty Muddy and Hiking events which raise millions of pounds every year to help beat cancer sooner by funding vital research.
Gemma Turpin，Cancer Research UK's Norwich event manager，said， "We are very grateful to Sally and Eleanor for their story that highlights how special Race for Life is to people.By following them，women in Norfolk can make a real difference in the fight against cancer.Money raised through Race for Life is helping beat over 200 different types of cancer --that's why every step，every person and every penny raised counts.

3．I had been living with Dino and his family for ten days or so，who lived and worked in the rainforest.They were the "bad guys"，burning much of the western Amazon to tun it into cattle farms.They were also some of the nicest and warmest hosts.They are a family trying to survive in a very tough environment through hard work.Their view and understanding of the problems the Amazon faces are different from mine.I see the Amazon as an extraordinary valuable life that should be treasured and protected at all costs-the world needs it，and we all need it.However，the Dinos see the Amazon as a vast，lasting resource that feeds them.After talking extent win them，I realized their respect for it was as deep as my own：they just saw it very differently.
Cattle farming in the Amazon is perhaps mainly responsible for the fires we are seeing now.It is an industry of cutting forest，burning it and turning it to cattle farms.Fires spread throughout the Amazon every year as a result of that practice.Putting cattle on the land means replacing trees with animals that produce damaging levels of greenhouse gases.This is just about the most stupid thing humans can do.
One morning after a fire，I returned to the land.I felt as though I had seen the blue smoke from those blackened tree trunks that remained upright，which are memorials to human stupidity.
The problems the Amazon faces are perhaps more complex now than ever before，but they are curable.We need to decide where and how we appoint and apply values based on sensible economic models that favor both the farmer and the forest.One of the issues facing the Brazilian Amazon now is a loosening of rules by the current administration which has opened up more land for deforestation（毀林）and burning.This could be disastrous，both for the Amazon and the rest of the world.
（1）What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about？
A．The consequences of cattle farming.
B．The main cause of forest fires.
C．The causes of greenhouse gases.
D．The importance of cattle farming.
（2）How did the author feel when returning to the land after a fire？
A．It helped the author recall his memory about the land.
B．It reminded us of our foolishness of destroying the land.
C．It's not surprising to see the land destroyed by the fire.
D．It's amazing to see the trees keep straight after the fire.
（3）Which of the following statements is true？
A．The writer and Dino respected the Amazon equally in different ways.
B．Cattle farming is not to blame for the fires happening in the Amazon.
C．The problems the Amazon faces are more complex and can't be solved.
D．The Dinos are considered to be bad for burning the forest to make a fortune.
（4）What should the Brazilian government do to solve the Amazon problems？
A．Prevent the deeds of burning.
B．Offer more land.
C．Take stricter measures.
D．Appoint economic models.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5

Once，when I was a teenager，my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus.Finally，there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me.There were eight children，all probably under the age of twelve.You could tell they didn't have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive，but they were clean.The children were well-behaved，all of them standing in line，two-by-two behind their parents，holding hands.They were excitedly talking about the clowns，elephants，and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before.It promised to be highlight of their young lives.The father and mother were at the head of the pack，standing proud as could be.The mother was holding her husband's hand，looking up at him as if to say， "You are my knight in shining armor."
He was smiling and responding in pride，looking back at her as if to say，"You got that right." The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted.He proudly responded，"Please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus."
The ticket lady gave the price.The man's wife let go of his hand，her head dropped，and his lips began to shake.The father leaned a little closer and asked，"How much did you say？"
The ticket lady again gave the price.The man didn't have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus？
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense.So I understand how the kids would feel.I felt sorry for them.
注意：
1.所續(xù)寫短文的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.續(xù)寫部分分為兩段，每段的開頭語已為你寫好。
