Welcome to “Cash Poor Points Rich”, a new travel blog dedicated to sharing experiences with credit card points and miles to help you get big travel at small expense. With the right planning and maximization of available resources, traveling as a college student may be easier than you think.
Chengdu, China
If visiting a place with happy locals is a priority for you, there's no better city to hit than Chengdu. It is home to pandas and spicy things. Moreover, the city's abundance of cultural and historical sights, together with its laid-back lifestyle, make itself one of the most attractive and livable large cities too. Past travelers have spent, on average,￥158 on meals and about a quarter of that on local transportation for one day.
Con Dao Islands, Vietnam
Tourism is picking up in Vietnam lately, where you can travel for about￥100 per day if you play your cards right. Con Dao National Park, a group of dramatic tiny islands off the southern coast, is a great destination to see sea turtles and other wildlife while exploring the area on foot. Its thick jungle will give you a good chance to uncover a paradise of your own.
Zakynthos Island, Greece
If you're looking for an affordable European summer beach vacation, consider Zakynthos Island. Food is cheap and mouthwatering. There are plenty of free things to do, although the favorite is spending time on the beautiful beaches edged by electric blue water. There are countless options for swimming in the appealing sea, along with charming villages and museums to explore.

In October, I told the eight-year-olds in the class I teach about my plan. “I'd like you to do extra jobs around the house to earn some money,” I said. “Then we'll buy food for someone who might not have a nice dinner.”
Early in the week for that donation, the children arrived with their hard-earned money. They had cleaned yards, set tables, and done the dishes. They couldn't wait to go shopping. I watched as they rushed in the supermarket aisles(过道). At last we headed toward the checkout, pushing a cart filled with food. Then Kristine cried, “Flowers!” The group rushed toward the plants.
“You can't eat flowers,” I responded. “Why not use the money to buy more food ” “But Mrs Sherlock,” she begged. “We want flowers.”
Defeated, I looked at the flowers. Stuck in the middle of the display was a pot of purple flowers. “She'll like this one,” the children agreed, and put the purple plant into the cart.
An agency had given us the address of a needy grandmother. Soon we pulled up in front of a small house. The children hurried to get the food. When Amy put the flowers on the counter, the woman seemed surprised. “Do you like it ” Michael asked. The old lady brightened. She told the children about the animals that lived close by.
We returned to the car. As we fastened our seatbelts, we could see the kitchen window. The woman inside waved goodbye, then turned and walked across the room, straight to the flowers. She put her face in them. When she raised her head, there was a smile on her lips.
The children were quiet. In that brief moment, they had seen the power they possessed to make another's life better. Sometimes a person just needs a pot of flowers on a dark November day.
24.Why did the author ask the children to earn money
A.To prepare for a food donation.
B.To pay for their own education.
C.To help them get independence.
D.To raise money for an evening party.

27.What impressed the children most that day
A.Their teacher's generosity.
B.The old lady's storytelling.
C.The beauty of the purple flowers.
D.The old lady's response to the flowers.

Nowadays, more stores and restaurants are not accepting cash as a means of payment. Instead, customers must pay with a credit card, or by smartphone apps.
Many business owners say that being cashless has helped them streamline the way their businesses run. Staff members don't have to think about having enough money in the cash register to give change or taking bills and coins to the bank.
However, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, more than 8 million households in the United States don't have bank accounts. Also, many people, including kids, don't meet the requirements for a credit card.
“A cashless economy is not an inclusive economy. There are consumers who can't get a credit card because of low income. When stores refuse to accept cash, they exclude low-income or homeless people,” says Tazra Mitchell, policy director at the DC Fiscal Policy Institute.
Plus people who do have credit cards might prefer to pay in cash. “Cash is used by almost eight in ten people in the US every month. That's more than the percentage of any other payment type,” says Nick Bourke, director of the Pew Charitable Trusts' consumer finance project.
Lawmakers in several places have taken steps to ban cashless stores. A handful of major cities—including New York City and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania—have already passed laws to address the problem. In San Francisco, California, a law banning cashless stores was passed last May. It says most stores in the city must allow customers to pay in cash. Derek Remski helped make the San Francisco law. Remski says, “It's about understanding that not everyone has equal access to things.”
28.What does the underlined word “streamline” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Record. B.Simplify. C.Redevelop. D.Understand.
29.What does Tazra Mitchell think of a cashless economy
A.It is unfair to some people.
B.It is enjoyed by bank workers.
C.It is advantageous to customers.
D.It is the result of the marketplace.
30.What can we learn from paragraph 5
A.Cashless stores will be driven out of the market.
B.Stores should allow more than one payment type.
C.Paying with credit cards has its own disadvantages.
D.Cash payment is still very popular with consumers.
31.What is some cities' attitude towards going cashless
A.They fight it.
B.They encourage it.
C.They care little about it.
D.They are hopeful about it.
D
A night at the movies is always a good idea. But when you leave the theatre and realize you just dropped $45 on a ticket and some snacks, you'll wish you had been patient enough to wait until the movie came out on Netflix. The average movie ticket price in the United States in 2000 was $5.39; now, a ticket is over $9.
The main reason why movie tickets have got so expensive is because of inflation(通货膨胀). It was actually more expensive to go to the movies in the 70s than it is now. A ticket in 1978 cost $2.34. If you enter that into an inflation calculator, the same ticket will cost you $9.46 today. According to the National Association of Theatre Owners, the average cost of a ticket today is $9.11.
Another reason why you need to spend some of your life savings on seeing a movie on the big screen is that theatres are competing with streaming services that produce their own films, such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. And let's be honest, sitting at home on your sofa or bed is more comfortable than sitting in a cold theatre.
Because of streaming technology, theatres have to do something to bring in customers. Attractions—including alcohol, reclining seats(躺椅), surround sound, and 3-D movies—are all examples of that. And those upgrades come at a price, leading to more expensive tickets.
“There's all that extra cost, and it's really important for theatre owners and companies to make that experience as enjoyable as possible,” Patrick Corcoran, vice president of the National Association of Theatre Owners told Marketplace. “Because you're offering a superb experience—audience expectations are for the latest and greatest technology. Audiences are willing to pay more for a particular experience.”
32.According to the passage, what makes movie tickets so expensive
A.The viewers are wealthier than before.
B.The movie theatres offer popcorn and alcohol for free.
C.Inflation has made the ticket price appear higher than before.
D.The popular movies with famous stars deserve the high price.
33.What can we learn from the passage
A.Netflix is always a better choice for movie viewers than theatres.
B.The viewers actually pay more for the upgrades of the movie theatres.
C.The theatre owners and companies update the theatres to make them popular.
D.With comfortable seats, theatres are more attractive than streaming services.
34.Which of the following would Patrick Corcoran most probably agree with
A.The high price of a movie ticket is supposed to agree with a wonderful experience.
B.It's unwise for viewers to pay so much to watch a movie in the theatre.
C.It's a waste of money providing the latest technology in the theatre.
D.The viewers would prefer to sit at home on the sofa or bed.
35.What is the best title for the text
A.How to Save the Viewers' Wallets
B.Behind the Increasing Price of Movie Tickets
C.Technological Improvement on Movie Theatres
D.The Competition Between Movie Theatres and Streaming Services

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last Saturday, I drove back home from a long hard day. It was snowing heavily and the traffic inched slowly forward like snails. I was so hungry because I skipped my lunch that I decided to stop by KFC and had a quick bite before I continued my journey home. It took me a long time to find a place to park my car. With my face buried in my collar, I walked slowly in the snow. Soon my hands were numb(麻木的) with cold, so I pulled my gloves out of my coat pocket and put them on.
I ordered some fried chicken and dug into my pocket for my wallet to pay, only to find it was not there! I remembered I did bring it with me before I set out. Embarrassed, I left the chicken on the counter and said I would return in a minute. Deeply worried, I got out of KFC and ran towards my car, wondering where my wallet, with everything in it, was.
Fresh snow was like a blank paper, recording my tracks. My attention fixed on the ground, I expected to find it on my way. Unfortunately, what I found was only the shape of it in the snow. Obviously, I lost it when I pulled my gloves out. Judging from the footprints on the ground, I was not the only one. There was someone else joining my way. But the footprints of this guy were messy. It seemed that he walked back and forth. My heart sank. At a loss for which way he went, I knew I could never claim my wallet back. Bye, fried chicken, not today. I walked towards my car helplessly.
A short, skinny man was standing by my car. He seemed like homeless because he was dressed in an oversized worn-out coat and his face was dirty. He was stamping his feet to keep warm. I felt sorry for him because I had nothing to help him, no money, no food.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
The man noticed me and asked if this was my car.
Refusing my money, he was about to leave.

40.C 分析文章结构可知,设空处为段落小标题。根据段落第一句“如果你能流利地使用所在国家的语言,可以考虑教当地学生你的母语。”可知,C项“找一份做语言教师的工作。”可以概括本段内容。故选C。

45.C 根据上文“I applied, but I didn't think”可知,作者认为自己没有资格也得到助学金。故选C。
46.A 根据语境并结合选项可知,此处指假期结束后,作者的朋友们开始收到大学的录取通知书。故选A。
47.C 根据语境并结合选项可知,此处指作者热切地期待着他的录取通知书。 故选C。

第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者父母的故事。父母结婚时,他们约定每天在一个特殊的金属盒子里放一美元,留作结婚五十周年去夏威夷度蜜月的资金,并最终如愿。
56.excited 考查形容词。设空处位于系动词were后,作表语,且主语为They,指代父母,设空处表示“感到兴奋的”。故填excited。
57.agreement 考查名词。设空处位于不定冠词an后,应使用单数名词。故填agreement。
58.their 考查代词。设空处修饰名词repairs,应用形容词性物主代词;one's own...也是常见的搭配,意为“某人自己的……”。故填their。
59.but 考查连词。设空处前后都是完整的句子,且无修饰关系,所以此处应该使用并列连词;空前“抚养五个孩子是一项挑战,有时钱不够用”与空后“无论发生什么紧急情况,爸爸都不会让妈妈从‘夏威夷账户’里取钱”为转折关系。故填but。
60.the 考查冠词。这里特指前句中的“Hawaii account”,应用定冠词。故填the。
61.have been 考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子可知,本句为主从复合句,设空处为主句的谓语,“since the day they got married”为时间状语,表示从结婚那天一直持续到现在,所以应用现在完成时;主语为复数名词,谓语动词应用复数。故填have been。
62.coming 考查现在分词。设空处与telling并列,remember sb. doing sth.意为“记得某人做过某事”。故填coming。
63.to spend 考查动词不定式。此处表示“我知道如何花它”,应用“特殊疑问词+不定式”结构作know的宾语。故填to spend。
64.which 考查定语从句。分析句子可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰指物的先行词secret,关系词在从句中作found的宾语。故填which。
65.fairly 考查副词。设空处修饰空后的形容词large,应用副词,表示“相当大的”。故填fairly。

第二节
One possible version:
The man noticed me and asked if this was my car. Surprised as I was, I nodded, waiting for what he was going to say. He seemed excited, directly coming closer and quickly taking out a wallet, which I knew was mine at a glance. I couldn't stop staring at the surprising packet. I knew I wouldn't say goodbye to my fried chicken today. But first, I needed to show my sincere gratitude to the good soul, who must have stayed in the cold for long just to find the owner. I opened my wallet, pulled out two banknotes and delivered them to him as my thankfulness. However, he just smiled, shaking his head.
Refusing my money, he was about to leave. Seeing him disappearing in the distance gradually, I finally made up my mind to stop him and asked him to wait a minute. I grabbed the money, rushed to the counter and ordered two portions of fried chicken. On heading back, I slipped the package into his hand, inviting him to enjoy the food together. We exchanged our thoughts a lot as we were eating and laughing. It was on that night that I came to realize that there are always people who try to help others despite their own trouble.
