27、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，。选项中有两项为多余选项。
With the summer holiday just around the comer, it seems like everybody is busy planning their vacations. Here an some tips that can help you enjoy your holiday without emptying your pocket:
Travel off-season
Go to your desired destination while the demand is low and take advantage of huge discounts. During the peak season, the hotel and flight prices increase quickly, and you’ll likely spend more of your vacation time standing in line due to the rush of tourists. 【1】
【2】
Websites can help you find discount hotel rooms. Look for places that do not charge extra for children if they use the existing bedding. Stay with the locals. If you and your family are going to stay for a longer period, renting a small apartment is a good choice.
Eat like a local
Why eat at big chain restaurants when you can experience something new? 【3】 During your family trip, try new food where the locals eat. This will not just save money, but also provide you with a new and different experience. For smaller meals and snacks, avoid restaurants and try street food or other takeout.
Don’t hesitate to bargain
Tourist- heavy places are known for overcharging for just about everything. Clothes, travel goodies, souvenirs, etc. are very expensive at these places. 【4】 Bargain hard to get the best price.
Choose local transportation
【5】 Instead, take buses, railways or subways, which are always cheaper. If you are planning to stay for a while, you can consider renting a car. Hiring a car is much easier than carrying your bags everywhere if you are moving around a lot.
A．Save on hotels.
B．Surf the Internet while traveling.
C．Therefore, avoid buying anything there.
D．So it’s best to find out when the off-season starts.
E．Planning your meals is another way to reduce your travel costs.
F．For this reason, you shouldn’t feel ashamed to ask for bargains.
G．As a tourist, avoid taking taxis whenever possible, since they are expensive.
28、It’s natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave. 【1】 But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages? Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?
Scientists have recently tackled these questions. They found that when a person is looking at your face, she might not believe what she sees if your body language doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows.
【2】 Previously, they had found that the tone of a person’s voice can be more important than the words that are spoken. For example, most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “I’m so excited.”
When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. To test if this was true, psychologists showed people a number of pictures of isolated(孤立的)faces and isolated bodies (with faces blurred out(模糊的)) that showed anger or fear. 【3】
An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth. 【4】 A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to defend.
These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language subtly(微妙地) influences which emotion they read.
【5】 If you want to be understood, it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.
A．Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.
B．So, your body language is important for telling people how you feel.
C．Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people.
D．An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight.
E．Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds.
F．When you do this, your face and body work together to show your friends that you’re happy to see them.
G．They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies
29、 As you might expect in a language learning company, almost everyone who works at Babbel is multilingual (会讲多种语言的）. The central principle of the Babbel language learning approach is that people should spend about 15 minutes per day studying a new language. This is surprisingly short compared to the length of time that university students are expected to use to study a language nightly (about 90 minutes) . 【1】I sat down with Babbel's language expert, Karohine Schnur, to find out how 15-minute language lessons are all you need to become fluent in a new language.
Karoline started off by explaining the central principle behind the Babbel learning approach. "If you read a lot of information, you won't be able to absorb everything, "she said. 【2】 The background information is thrown away,and never goes into our long-term memory. But it s not so great for language learning. “ 【3】Repetition is really important in language learning,” Karoline added.
Because repetition is so important, the Babbel app (应用程序）is quite useful in learning a new language. It has a Review Manager that's designed entirely for repeating information and getting it into your long-term memory. When talking about the rationality (合理性）behind this approach, Karoline explained, "It's based on time intervals. 【4】 ”When using the app,you' ll notice that items come up for review not only right after a lesson is completed,but in the days and weeks that follow.She continued, "If you keep getting it correct,the time until you see it again expands. After all those steps are done,we say, ‘【5】 ' " In this way, Babbel isn't just helping you memorize vocabulary,but truly learn a language.
A.OK, this is in your long-term memory.
B.How much do you remember after a week?
C.It's designed with the limitations of human memory in mind.
D.So how are people at Babbel picking up new languages in so less time?
E.Each time you repeat something and get it correct, it will move up a step.
F.To get something into long-term memory,you must make connections and repeat it.
G.The brain is a master at deciding what information is important and what is background noise.

31、 Working on holidays has always presented something of a class divide. From the 1870s through the 1920s, middle-and-upper-class Americans often lived with “the help”—mostly women of color whose job was to cook and clean and care for others, day and night. While shows like Dowton Abbey seek to give ________ to servants, they also sanitize (粉饰) what was a cruel, back-breaking existence. It was common for a housemaid’s day to begin well before the family rose and extend until after they ________ for the evening. They did so seven days a week: working more than 80 hours a week - more than the 65 hours most factory workers worked at the time. While we often imagine that these women were young and single, Evelyn Nakano Gleen’s research on such care providers has shown that over 30% of them were married many with children. As they worked very hard for families not ________, they left their children, parents, siblings and husbands behind. Thanksgiving or Christmas was no doubt one of the hardest times of the year, and their own families felt their ________.
The labor movement was ________ to changing this sorry state of affairs. Unions raised wages, lowered hours, instituted worker protections, guaranteed a minimum wage and ________ holidays off for workers. Those who did have to work on national holidays were guaranteed overtime pay. When unions were strong, such benefits even ________ to non-unionized workers.
But as unions have ________, part-time work has increased. And this has meant lower wages and greater ________. Working at $11 an hour for 25 hours a week means making 14,300 a year. For most retail workers, that’s one of the better jobs that are available. And ________, it’s a job without health insurance, or a retirement plan, with constant scheduling changes that make it hard to take additional ________. Most of these workers wish they could work more, but employers would rather hire other part-timers. So when the boss says, “Can you work Thanksgiving?” workers have no real choice but to be ________.
Today, working on holidays carries no guarantee of extra pay, and not working can mean losing one’s job. Some workers are ________; Walmart employees have planned over 1,000 Black Friday strikes because of unchanging wages and health care premiums (保险费) that will soon triple. Americans have a choice of helping these workers regain the ________, or walking past them in order to shop more. And that is the irony to the trend of stores opening on Thanksgiving. On the same day that we give thanks for all we have, why must we also rush out to buy more? Observers might say, “It’s just the logic of the market!” But the logic of the market is not some mystical process. It is the result of the ________ that we make.

“ How much farther is it?”
“I can't go any further.”
“My _______is too heavy. Can you carry it for me?”
The reply of the _______ was,“ Suck it up(忍耐一下)！”. The _______ is that the complaining campers were nowhere near the point of _______.

Once they realized they weren’t getting any sympathy, they ________the discomfort, and in most cases ________ having a great time. In my camp days, I don't ________a single camper complaining at the top of the ________.
There are two ways to deal with an ________ situation. You can complain, or you can make the best of it. If you complain, you might feel like you're getting that ________energy out, but you’re probably not going to cause a positive change. It’s much more likely that your complaining will cause the ________ of those around you. No one likes a complainer. They're ________ and they hurt the group.

34、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Why Cold weather Causes So many Flight Cancellation?
Each year, about 60,000 flights get canceled because of bad winter weather, which costs airlines and airports an estimated $3 billion. But it’s not the freezing cold temperatures that cause problems for planes. After all, 【1】 jets fly 10 kilometers up, where temperatures hover around -50 degrees Celsius.
In fact, planes 【2】 in cold weather, since cold air is denser and leads to better thrust. Clearly, the real problem isn’t what’s going on up there. It’s what’s happening on the ground.
When a 【3】 polar vortex (极地涡旋) struck the Midwestern US in January 2019, temperatures dropped to -40 degrees Celsius and airline canceled 3,000 flights nationwide. In these situations, when temperatures start 【4】, everything slows down. Cargo doors can freeze up, along with the nozzles that pump fuel into planes, which delays the 【5】 process.
Even the plane itself can freeze over. Just a quarter-inch - thick layer of ice on a plane can disrupt the way air flows over its wings.
Les Westbrooks: The number one reason, I would say, that the reason flights get delayed in cold weather is going to be because there’s some kind of frozen precipitation, from frost to snow to a sheet of ice, adhering to the aircraft, adhering to the wings of the aircraft 【6】.
That’s Les Westbrooks, a retired airline pilot and an associate professor of aeronautical science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. He says that 【7】, these planes are “de-iced” - but this also delays takeoff. The crew can spray the plane with a special hot water/ glycol mixture. It can take around 40 minutes to de-ice large passenger airplanes, so planes often have to wait “their turn” for the de-icing station, which, of course, can trigger more delays.
And ice on the runway, of course, creates another set of 【8】. In 2014, a plane at JFK skidded off an icy runway and into a mound of snow, leading to an hours-long shutdown at the airport. And even though crews can remove ice from the runway, scraping it off the pavement can lead to potholes (坑洞) and other 【9】, which makes takeoffs and landings more dangerous. And of course, snow and freezing rain on the ground can affect visibility to the point where officials have to decide it’s not safe to fly at all.
But if ice and snow aren’t the problem in these extremely cold temperatures, it’s usually another factor: people.
Les Westbrooks: The airplane flies at high altitudes, -60 degrees. It’s made to do that. Humans are not made to be outside in -60 degrees weather. And so the human factor becomes a big, big factor, when it becomes extremely cold.
Baggage handlers, aircraft fuelers, and mechanics all have to stay warm. Some airports, like O’Hare in Chicago, set up heated shelters for their employees. Of course, with everyone taking breaks to warm up, not as much gets done, which leads to even more delays and cancellations. Passengers start missing their 【10】 flights, and that, along with passengers who can’t make it to the airport due to bad road conditions, leads to half-empty planes.
In fact, many airlines might preemptively cancel flights before bad weather even hits. So, in the end, you can still blame cold weather for cancelling your flight.

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
In Congress, July 4, 1776
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s god entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d【1】 the causes which impel them to the separation.
We h【2】 these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created e【3】, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable R【4】, that among these are life, L【5】, and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights, g 【6】 are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.
That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the P 【7】 to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, l【8】 its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such f【9】, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariable the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their d 【10】, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
36、根据句意填空
In the USA, the Amish-a Christian group-are famous because they drive 【1】 instead of cars, do not use TVs or refrigerators, and do not have personal telephones. Many people assume the Amish must have 【2】 reasons for their many rules, but this is not true.
