24、two ways to save money traveling. The first way is to get the best deals on the specific things you want. There is a limitation to this type of approach (途径，方法 ) though. If you find the lowest price on the best hotel in Honolulu at the height of the season, you will save money, but still have a very
25、 expensive vacation. Trying to get exactly what you want will generally be an expensive proposition, in travel and in life. The other approach is to be a true opportunist. This will be difficult for some of you, and entirely unacceptable to others. Nonetheless (尽管如此 )， the travelers who get to trave
26、l the most, go to the widest variety of places, learn the most and do the most, are the opportunists. This will be true until you are so wealthy that you have no monetary (货币的；钱的 )limits. The first time I went to Ecuador, I went there because it was cheap. If it wasnt, I would have had a great times
27、omewhere else. The trip lasted a month, and cost $1045, which included airfare and even the $130 fee for a guide to take me to the top or glacier (冰川 ) covered Mount Chimborazo. I cut the cost by taking a bus from my home in Michigan to Miami, and back again when I returned from Ecuador. The round-t
28、rip ticket cost $158. The round-trip flight to Quito from Miami was only $256, because it was a courier (信使，通讯员 ) flight, which meant I signed for some luggage(car parts), and could only take carry-on luggage. Never did I feel deprived, or bored. I had a great time, eating wherever it was cheap and
29、clean, doing all sorts of inexpensive, but interesting things, and traveling across the country to climb Chimborazo. I also met and fell in love with my wife Ana. Being an opportunist means youll have just as much variety, and probably almost everything you wanteventually. You just have to stop tryi
30、ng to get exactly what you want exactly when you want it. If the guide that took me up Chimborazo hadnt dropped his price from $200 to $130, I would have spent $2 for a bus and gone hiking on EI Altar, another great Andean mountain. That would have left me with enough money for several other minor a
31、dventures. 【小题 1】 The underlined phrase “the best deals” in the first paragraph probably refers to _. A the best service B the lowest price C the cheapest goods D the best approaches 【小题 2】 The return tickets from his hometown to Quito cost the author _. A $128 B $256 C $207 D $414 【小题 3】 The last p
32、aragraph was to tell us how to _. A save money for minor adventures B cut down traveling costs. C deal with different situations D become opportunist travelers 【小题 4】 Its suggested that the author _. A went hiking on El Altar B traveled with his wife in Ecuador C is an opportunist traveler D likes t
33、raveling around the world 【小题 5】 Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage A Cheap Travel Secrets B Travel Secrets C A Travel Opportunist D Travel Tips 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 D 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 C 【小题 5】 A Are some people born clever, and others born stupid Or is intelligence deve
34、loped by our environment and our experiences Strangely enough， the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent（程度） our intelligence is given to us at birth， and special education can never make a genius(天才 ) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in
35、 a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts can be supported i
36、n a number of ways. It is easy to say that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their de
37、grees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters， parents and children， usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depen
38、ds on birth. Imagine that now we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as wel
39、l as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence. 【小题 1】 By using the example that two people closer in blood relationship are closer in int
40、elligence that writer wants to prove _ . A intelligence can be developed by environment B intelligence is given at birth C intelligence can be developed by experience D education plays an important part in the development of education 【小题 2】 A child who lives in rich and varied surroundings turns ou
41、t higher in intelligence because _. A his family is rich and therefore can afford to develop his intelligence B he can break the limits of intelligence fixed at birth C his family is rich and provides him with various healthy food D these surroundings are likely to help him reach the limits of their
42、 intelligence 【小题 3】 In the second paragraph “if we take two unrelated people at random from the population ” means “if we _ ” A choose two persons who are relative B take out two different persons C choose two persons with different intelligence D pick any two persons 【小题 4】 The best title for this
43、 passage might be _. A Birth and Environment B Intelligence C The Answer to a Question D Intelligence and Education 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 D 【小题 3】 C 【小题 4】 B 【小题 1】 B 推理题。根据文章第一段可知人的智力受出身的影响，也首环境的影响。举这个例子是想告诉我们人的智力是首出身影响的。 【小题 2】 D 推理题。根据文章第一段人的智力受出身的影响，也首环境的影响。一个生活在富有的多样化的环境中的人智力更高，这个例子想说明环境对人的智力的影响。
44、故 D正确。 【小题 3】 C 推理题。本题是指找两个没有任何关系的人。因为没有任何关系，意味着他们的智力可能完全不一样，故 C正确。 【小题 4】 B 主旨大意题。主旨主要讲述的就是影响智力的因素，故正确。 To son, Cecil, Just a quick note before I start in earnest. When I wrote this, you were 8, still a little boy. In 2002, I was called to active duty in the Marine Corps in the war on Terrorism (恐怖
45、主义 ). On the 11th of September 2001 when America was attacked, I knew that I would eventually(最终 ) have to go and I was filled with a deep sense of sadness. That night as you and Keiko were asleep, I looked at your little faces and couldnt help but fight the tears. I knew it would be hard for you be
46、cause I had a similar experience. When I was a little boy aged 6, my dad, your Grandpa Cawley, was sent to Vietnam during the war there. I remember how much I missed him, too. But now unfortunately I have come to realize just how difficult it must have been for Grandpa to be away from his children f
47、or a year. Thinking about this, I wanted to put my thoughts and feelings down for you and your sister. I am so sorry that I had to leave for such a long time. There is no place I would rather be than with you and Keiko. You two are the lights of my life. I have known no greater joy than in the few y
48、ears since you two were born. I hope to have many more years with you. If this doesnt happen, then know that I love you more than words can express. If for some reason I dont make it home, I will need you to take care of your little sister and your Mom. You will be the man of the Cawley family. Be good my son and God will watch over you as he has me. I will be waiting im
