statements arenumbered 41 to 45. The United States is a democracy, which means that thecitizens run the government. Since we can' t all make the rules, we electrepresentatives--our president, vice-president, senators, congressmen,governors, and others who make the laws and govern our country based on thebeliefs of the people. These elected officials help pass laws that reflect theinterests of their constituents, the people who live within the areas theyrepresent. Since the right to choose theserepresentatives is in the hands of the people, it is very important that every-one in a community go to the polls to cast their ballots(投票). If only a few peoplevote, then the elected repre- sentatives may not truly represent the interestsof the full community. Some day you may disagree with a decisionmade by your governor, state and federal(联邦的) representa- tives, or the president. Thebest way to make your opinion known is to go to the polls and elect newofficials whom you believe will better represent you in the future. By notvoting, you are in effect giving up your right to help make changes in ourcountry. During a presidential election, whenmillions of people exercise the fight to vote, you might think that your singlevote won' t make a difference. Remember, every vote counts. Even if thecandidates you support arch' t elected, you' ve still had a hand in shaping thecountry' s future. TheUnited States is a democracy in that

A. the government is elected by the citizens

B. the rules and laws are made by the people

C. what the president does is under permission ofall the citizens

D. everyone has a right to make changes in itsfuture

ding extra money on travel during the holiday season is worthwhile--so long as it affords them time with family and friends. But just because traveling may be the right thing to do, that doesn't mean it has to be the expensive thing to do. Traveling involves many hidden costs that, once you're aware of them, are easy to spot--and even easier to eliminate.

To start, consider transportation fees. For example, if you're driving, fill up the gas tank before traveling on the highway, where it's much costlier, says Clarky Davis, a personal finance expert. And make sure your car is in good condition by checking your heating vents, keeping up with routine maintenance and ensuring your tires are properly inflated, all of which help the ear achieve favorable fuel economy. Furthermore, not only does a tow car(救援车) cause inconvenience; it also means extra costs.

For those opting to fly, first, be aware of how much it costs to check a bag. Most airlines are charging for every checked bag by weight, but prices vary from carrier to carrier. If you can manage to pack everything into a carry-on, you'll save at least $15. Brooke Ferencsik, a travel expert, suggests considering secondary airports when booking your flight. These airports often are less crowded and frequently offer cheaper tickets.

And when it comes to your actual destination, don't assume that hotels are going to cut back on fees simply because they're desperate to draw customers. "They won't be adding or increasing fees, but they won't be decreasing them either," says Ferencsik. The best defense against extra fees is to read about the hotel's rates online, before you make a reservation. "Be aware of surcharges for everything from housekeeping to groundskeeping to use of the in-room safe," says Ferenesik. Some hotels even install a sensor(传感器) within the mini bar, charging guests for simply touching the items, let alone eating or drinking them.

"From airlines to hotels to rental ears, they've all got hidden fees you need to be aware of," says Ferencsik. "Do your homework and ask questions."

It is found that 71% of Americans regard it as worthwhile to______.

A．spend money on souvenirs while traveling with family and friends

B．accept hidden costs while traveling with family and friends

C．travel with family and friends during the holiday season

D．travel with family and friends so as to please them

听力原文： In the next few decades people are going to travel very differently from the way they do today. Everyone is going to drive electrically powered cars. So in a few years people won't worry about running out of gas.

Some of the large automobile companies are really moving ahead with this new technology. F ＆ C Motors, a major auto company, for example, is holding a press conference next week. At the press conference the company will present its new, electronically operated models.

Transportation in the future won't be limited to the ground. Many people predict that traffic will quickly move to the sky. In the coming years, instead of radio reports about road conditions and highway traffic, news reports will talk about traffic jams in the sky.

But the sky isn't the limit. In the future, you'll probably even be able to take a trip to the moon. Instead of listening to regular airplane announcements, you'll hear someone say, "The spacecraft to the moon leaves in ten minutes. Please check your equipment. And remember, no more than ten ounces of carry-on baggage are allowed."

A．Synthetic fuel.

B．Solar energy.

However, with driverless cars on the roads, there will be potential trust issues between people and machines. We could therefore see guard rails back on the sides of pavements.

W: Not yet, Mr. Black. Mrs. Farnsworth asked me to type some letters for her. I'll be finished pretty quick and then I'll start on that.

M: Don't forget I need it first thing in the morning. I have to take it along to Chicago to the regional meeting.

W: Don't worry, I'll get it done. My husband's on a business trip too. He's in Detroit today, and tomorrow he'll be in Boston. So I'm planning to stay late. After it's typed up I'll leave it on your desk. I should be finished by 8:00 pm.

M: I'm sorry to keep you so late.

W: It's all right, Mr. Black. I don't mind at all. Besides, I can use a little extra money. My husband's birthday is next month. I want to buy him a new watch.

M: What kind are you going to get him, a Bulova？

W: No. I thought I'd get a Rolex, or an Elgin. I don't really know much about watches.

M: I've got one of those Seiko digitals. I really like it.

W: Do you think my husband would like one like that？

M: I'm sure he would. The only problem is that it's a little bit heavy.

W: If it's that good, I think I'll go ahead and get him one.

n a devastating car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy did well, so he couldn’t understand why, after 3 months of trains, the master had taught him only one move.“Master,” the boy finally said, “Shouldn’t I be learning more moves？” “This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll need to know,” the master replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Several months later, the master took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals. This time, his opponent was bigger, strong, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be outmatched. Concerned about the boy, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the master came forward.

“No,” the master insisted, “Let him continue.”

Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a fatal mistake. He dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy won the match. He was the champion.

On the way home, the boy and his master reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind.

“Master, how did I win the tournament with only one move？”

“You won for two reasons,” the master answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in judo. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.

17. Why did the master insist on continuing the match？

A. Because the time-out would give the opponent an advantage

B. Because the boy was confident of winning

C. Because he had confidence in the boy’s skill

D. Because all he cared about is winning the final

18. What caused the defeat of the boy’s opponent in the final？

A. Over-confidence

B. Impatience

C. Inexperience

D. The time-out

19. Why did the master only teach the boy one move？

A. The boy could not do other moves with only one arm

B. It was the only move the master knew well

C. It was the move his opponents were not good at

D. His opponent would be helpless when he made this move

20. What does the story show？

er but could not find any.Then suddenly, when the ant was almost ready to die of thirst, a large drop of water fell on it.The ant drank the water, which saved its life.The water was actually a tear from a young girl who was crying.Because of her sadness, the tear had magical qualities and suddenly the ant could speak the language of human beings.

The ant looked up and saw the young girl sitting in front of a huge pile of seeds.

“Why are you sad？” asked the ant.

“I'm the prisoner of a giant.”the girl told the ant.“He won't let me go until I've made three separate heaps of grain, barley(大麦)and rye(黑麦)out of this huge pile of seeds in which they are all mixed together.”

“That will take you a month!” the ant said, looking at the huge pile of seeds.

“I know,”the girl cried, “and if I haven't finished by tomorrow, the giant will eat me for his supper!”

“Don't cry,”the ant said, “my friends and I will help you.”

Soon thousands of ants were at work, separating the three kinds of seeds.

The next morning, when the giant saw that the work had been done, he let the girl go.

Thus it was one of her tears that saved her life.
