Traveling can be a fun way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break—a week-long school vacation in the United States.
But what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip Don’t worry.
Here are some useful tips.
Save: This probably is the most important preparation for traveling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you’ll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.
Plan ahead: Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全)and savings.
Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.
Plan sensibly: Write down how much you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.
Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.
Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip Look for work in the places you visit.
Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.
Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes. Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you can’t find a cheap restaurant.
Use the Internet: The Net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www. Travelocity. com, www. bargains-lowest and www. Economy .
By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.

1.B。主旨大意题。根据文章第一段和第二段可知本文主要是关于如何用比较少的钱来旅游。
2.C。细节理解题。根据文章Save中的Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you’ll have more choices about where to go and how to get there. 可知C为正确选项。
3.C。由“Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you’ll have more choices about where to go and how to get there. ”可知, cut expenses意为“缩减费用”, 根据连词so表示因果关系和句意“在去哪里以及如何去的问题上有更多的选择”可推断出, 此处指的是“省钱”。故选C。

三、阅读填句
1. G。空白处前一句提到了Modesty的概念, 紧接着应该对此有所解释。选项G “它通常以谦虚的态度和向他人表达善意的愿望为典型标志”正符合该语境需要, 且句中的人称代词It指代的就是上文提到的Modesty。
2. F。本段标题说明要想培养谦虚的态度, 首先得“客观真实地评价自己”, 选项F意为“谦虚始于你如何看待自己和你在世界上的位置”, 正是对段落主题的进一步解释。
3. B。根据空白处后面语境“但是不要让这些东西扩大你的自我重要性或限制你的生活”可知, 空白处谈及的应是“承认你的优秀品质和积极的成就”, 空白处后面的“these things”指代“good qualities and your positive achievements”。
4. A。选项A意为“寻求建议和建设性的批评”, 其中的关键信息“advice and constructive criticism”与后面的复现信息“advice”和“criticism”吻合。
5. C。通过空白处后面语境, 尤其是其中的关键信息 “listening actively”可知, “当有人批评你或给你建议时, 不要打断”, 不要为自己辩护, 要“积极地倾听”, 这样“你会对自己有很多了解”。
