第二部分：阅读理解（本题有两小节，第一节共20小题；每小题2分，第二节共5小题；每小题2分；满分50分）

第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。（根据规定阅读素材原创）

A

A record warm December raised average temperatures enough to make 2015 the second hottest year on record in the contiguous United States, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Climate Monitoring Annual Report, which was released Thursday.

The United Nations had previously reported that 2015 was shaping up to be the warmest year on record for the whole planet.

Last year was also the third wettest on record in the U.S. and saw ten weather- or climate-related disasters that each caused at least $1 billion in damage in the U.S. and killed a total of 155 people. These include a drought, two floods, five severe storms, a wildfire, and a winter storm.

The average U.S. temperature was 54.4°F, 2.4°F above the 20th century average, and second only to 2012’s record warmth. This was also the 19th consecutive year with average temperatures above the average for the century.

Every state reported above-average annual temperatures. The warming was particularly pronounced across most of the eastern half of the country in December, when many places saw temperatures 30 degrees above normal and many records were set.

This mirrored changes seen in the Arctic that month, when temperatures spiked to 50 degrees above normal. Part of this warming was driven by a strong El Ni?o, or periodic warming in the

Pacific Ocean, but some of it can also be attributed to global warming, says meteorologist Eric Holthaus, who was not involved with the federal report.

The analysis comes less than a month after the U.S. and 194 other countries signed an agreement in Paris to more aggressively counter the effects of climate change.

“Even if all the initial targets in Paris are met, we’ll only be part of the way there when it comes to reducing carbon from the atmosphere,” said President Barack Obama at the time. Still, the agreement represented “a turning point” by setting up “the architecture\

NOAA’s climate monitoring center doesn’t issue predictions for future weather, but the agency’s Climate Prediction Center does. That team’s forecast for the next three months calls for warmer-than-average temperatures in much of the country, although parts of Texas and the Southeast may be a little cooler than usual.

As Lancaster University Professor Gail Whiteman told the Weather Channel, \means extreme weather is the new normal.\

41. The average temperature of the 20th century is __ . A. 52.4°F B. 56.8°F C. 52°F D. 54.4°F

42. What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence “climate change means extreme weather is the new normal”?

A. Extreme weather will not normal due to the climate change. B. Climate change will result in the unpredictable weather.

C. Climate change will be more and more common except for the extreme weather. D. Extreme weather will be kind of tendency in the future. 43. Which of the following statement is true?

A. The target of reducing carbon is accomplished. B. $1 billion loss was caused by the extreme weather.

C. In most areas of US, the temperatures will be warmer than average.

D. 2015 was the first warmest and the third wettest on record in the country. 44. What can be inferred from the text?

A. The reducing of carbon still needs great efforts worldwide.

B. NOAA has nothing to do with the predictions for climate change.

C. The whole US will be warmer in the future due to the global warming.

D. The weather change in the western areas is more obvious than that in the east. 45. We can probably find the text in __ ? A. a government report B. a science magazine C. an advertisement D. a newspaper

With fuel costs rising and airlines finding more fees to impose on travelers every day, airfare isn’t getting any cheaper. Since you can’t drive to all your dream destinations, flying is the only way to go sometimes and, undeniably, the fastest. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to find the most affordable fares and also avoid paying as many extra charges as possible when you plan ahead.

Getting the best fare

Airlines put out their fare sales on Tuesday morning, making this day the best day to book a flight for less.

Fly during the least popular times. Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday are the slowest days to fly, which means cheaper deals than the rest of the week. You can also find reduced rates on early

morning flights, since many people don’t like to get up before the sun to get to the airport. Earlier boarding times can also considerably cut down your chances of getting bumped on an overbooked flight or delayed because of other delayed flights or mechanical issues.

Choose your seat later. Some airlines charge you to pick your seat when you book online, adding even more to the bottom line of your ticket cost. If you show up early on your travel day, you can still get suitable seats. Some of the best seats get held back until flight day, unless others are willing to pay extra for them ahead of time, so you still have the chance at one of those.

Fly on holidays. You already know that summer is the most expensive time to fly, and even though most other times are more affordable, the days surrounding holidays can be crazy. Save big if you’re willing to travel on major holidays, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Don’t wait until the last-minute to book. Many travelers don’t know that there’s a sweet spot for booking and getting the best price on your tickets. Book too early or too late and you could end up paying more than you need to. The best time to book is between three months and six weeks from when you want to travel.

Avoiding extra fees

Airlines will charge for just about anything these days. Some have even toyed around with charging customers for using the restroom. All those extra fees can certainly add up, but there’s no reason to pay them if you don’t have to. Here are some tips to keep money in your wallet once you get to the airport.

Avoid the upgrade it’s not necessary. Sometimes upgrades are free, but mostly you will be charged for seeking a last-minute bump to first class, and the cost can be hefty.

Fly carry-on only. Baggage fees vary wildly, but almost all airlines charge them and charge big. Why pay for your clothes to fly with you? If everyone in your travel party checks a bag, your bill can be astronomical before you ever even get to your destination. It’s easy to reduce the amount of stuff you pack: Make sure all your clothing coordinates, so you can take less and still make more outfit combinations, take only two pair of shoes, plan to do a bit of laundry on your trip and bring only travel-sized toiletries.

Pack your own snacks. Unless you’re flying internationally, it’s rare your flight comes with a free meal. Snacks on the plane are not cheap and almost never healthy. Don’t rely on what’s on the small menu and instead tuck some of your own snacks – granola bars, homemade muffins, fruit and trail mix all make fantastic travel foods – into your bag and eat a lot better, and cheaper, than other passengers.

Do you have a tried and true method of getting the best deal on your flights? Let us know. 46. According to the passage, which of the following flight may be the cheapest? A. A Tuesday night flight B. A summer morning flight C. A Wednesday morning flight D. A winter night flight 47. The author suggests choosing seats later because __ . A. the flight in the early morning is cheaper

B. there are enough seats whenever you arrive at the airport C. the passenger may have access to the best seats on flight day

D. the passenger may be bumped on an overbooked flight of delayed flight 48. What is the right way to save money when booking a flight? A. Booking a flight six days before you travel.

B. Preparing the meal by yourself instead of that provided.
