Things yu shuld never buy n planes, accrding t flight attendant
If yu fly business class, yu can usually save by waiting t upgrade at the airprt
I knw it might sund strange, but I always advise everybdy t purchase an ecnmy ticket at hme and upgrade it at the airprt. Opting fr an upgrade will dramatically reduce the price f the ticket.
As sn as yu purchase yur ecnmy seat, yu may start receiving email deals t upgrade yur ticket but dn’t rush. Wait until yu get t the airprt and ask fr an upgrade at the cunter. Smetimes, if the plane is empty r yu have a lyalty prgram with the airline, the gate agent can upgrade yu t business class at n additinal cst. But even if yu have t pay, it’s still ging t be much cheaper than buying nline.
Just be extremely nice t the staff and arrive early s business seats are still available. But dn’t wait until yu get n the plane — flight attendants dn’t usually have that much pwer.
Never waste mney n bttled water at the airprt
Yu can’t take liquids thrugh security, but n ne said yu can’t take an empty bttle. Mst airprts are full f water funtains, and many even have a special pump t refill bttles quickly.
The same rule applies t airprt fd
Fr sme reasn, peple have a fear f bringing fd thrugh TSA security. But it’s a great way t save mney, as lng as it’s slid, like a sandwich.
If yu’re flying internatinally, it’s best t finish any fd frm yur first destinatin befre landing since sme cuntries dn’t allw fresh fds thrugh custms.
Yu can find better deals nline than at the duty-free shp
Duty-free always attracts passengers at the airprt, but the savings aren’t as gd as they seem. Sme airlines als have duty-free catalgs nbard where yu can shp in the skies. But thse prices are even wrse. Yu can find much better deals nline if yu take the time t lk.
It’s almst never wrth it t exchange mney at the airprt
T ften, peple land at an internatinal airprt and realize they dn’t have the right currency. But the airprt is the wrst place t exchange if yu want a gd rate.
Mst banks r shpping malls have currency exchanges with steadier rates if yu remember befre yur flight. And if yu frget, just get enugh mney fr a taxi int the city and g t a lcal bank.

Insect numbers have plunged （骤降） by half in sme parts f the wrld due t climate change and intensive agriculture, a study has fund.
The cmbined pressures f glbal heating and farming are driving a“substantial decline”f insects acrss the glbe, accrding t UK researchers.
They say we must acknwledge the threats we pse t insects, befre sme species are lst frever.
But preserving habitat fr nature culd help ensure vital insects thrive.
Lead researcher, Dr Charlie Outhwaite f UCL, said lsing insect ppulatins culd be harmful nt nly t the natural envirnment, but t “human health and fd security, particularly with lsses f pllinatrs（传粉昆虫）”.
“Our findings highlight the urgency f actins t preserve natural habitats, slw the expansin f high-intensity agriculture, and cut emissins t mitigate climate change,” she added. Plummeting ppulatins f insects arund the wrld — a s-called “insect apcalypse” — have caused widespread cncern.
Hwever, scientific data gives a mixed picture, with sme types f insects shwing sharp declines, while thers are staying steady.
In the latest study, the researchers pulled tgether data n the range and number f nearly 20,000 insect species, including bees, ants, butterflies, grasshppers and dragnflies, at abut 6,000 different lcatins.
In areas with high-intensity agriculture and substantial warming, insect numbers have plunged by 49%and the number f different species by 27%, cmpared with relatively untuched places that have s far avided the mst severe impacts f climate change, accrding t the research published in Nature.
But the researchers said there was sme cause fr hpe in that setting aside areas f land fr nature created a shelter fr insects, which need shade t survive in ht weather.
“Careful management f agricultural areas, such as preserving natural habitats near farmland, may help t ensure that vital insects can still thrive,” said Dr. Tim Newbld, als f UCL.
Study researcher, Peter MeCann, added: “We need t acknwledge hw imprtant insects are fr the envirnment as a whle, and fr human health and wellbeing, in rder t address the threats we pse t them befre many species are lst frever.”
24．What caused the number f insects t decrease quickly?
A．The natural law f survival f the fittest.B．Imprvement f human envirnment.
C．Glbal heating and farming.D．Destructin f the fd chain f insects.
25．What des the underlined wrd “mitigate” in paragraph 6 mean?
A．releaseB．stpC．relieveD．prevent
26．What d the researchers agree abut?
A．Nt all types f insects shw decline in numbers.
B．The number f insects in untuched places shws the mst severe decline.
C．There is n need t set aside areas f land fr nature.
D．Careful management f agriculture areas can help all the insects thrive.
27．What is the purpse f this passage?
A．T stress the effect f glbal warming.
B．T aruse peple’s cncern fr the decline f insect numbers.
C．T shw the relatinship between insects and human beings.
D．T present the prcess f the research.

My generatin — peple brn after 1990 — are accustmed t “all-in-platfrm” life, where we use mbile apps f different platfrms t d almst everything in life.
Fr instance, I rdered a cup f cffee n Mnday using an nline delivery app. Then, I called a taxi by tapping n the app f a ride-bking service. Next, I bught sme necessities n shpping platfrm Taba. That dne, I mved n t varius ther nline destinatins t get my daily fix f music, reading, scial netwrking and s frth.
Platfrms nw play an increasingly imprtant rle in almst all aspects f day -t-day life, nt just in ecnmic and plitical prcesses. Cnsumptin and scial interactin are clsely linked t platfrms nw.
But, I began t get cnfused recently. I thught I was being treated differently. My friend and I called a taxi at the same time n a ride-hailing platfrm（打车平台） and fund that fr the same destinatin, the prices were different. The price indicated n my phne was higher. One f the ptential reasns culd have been that I regularly use the ride-hailing platfrm and have a higher ranking while my friend desn’t use it that ften. S, the ride-hailing platfrm ffers discunts t newbies like her, t attract and have such custmers.
China’s latest effrts in regulating mnplistic r imprper market behavir are f great significance in prtecting cnsumers’ lawful rights.
“The essence f platfrm-based mnply（垄断） is that a large number f users are gathered n nly a select few platfrm cmpanies, leading t uneven data gathering different platfrms. But in China sme platfrms use their wn data and traffic （流量） t expand capital in a disrderly way,” said Wang Yng, deputy directr f the Institute f Ecnmics at Tsinghua University.
Data mnply als brught anther incnvenience fr cnsumers — platfrms blck links t each ther. Fr instance, link t WeChat Pay f Tencent is nt available n Alibaba’s Taba while there is n Alipay link n JD app’s payment ptins.
Last year, Meituan was charged with preventing custmers frm using Alipay as a payment ptin n Meituan apps and platfrms.
In July, the Ministry f Industry and Infrmatin Technlgy launched a six-mnth special rectificatin （专项治理） fr the internet industry, asking platfrm peratrs t stp blcking each ther’s link.
“Mre effrts shuld als be made t strike a gd balance between persnal infrmatin prtectin and intercnnectivity between platfrms. Cmpanies are being encuraged t further develp data encryptin （加密） technlgy s that the data are available but nt visible.”
28．What is the functin f Para.2?
A．T intrduce the tpic.B．T illustrate the authr’s statement.
C．T aruse readers’ interest.D．T shw ff the authr’s life.
29．What is the main idea f Para.4?
A．The authr and his friend were treated differently by taxi drivers.
B．The authr encuntered s called “big data price discriminatin”.
C．Due t the authr’s higher ranking, the platfrm ffered him a cheaper price.
D．The ride-hailing platfrm ffers discunts t regular custmers.
30．What is the authr’s attitude twards data mnply?
A．Indifferent.B．Apprving.C．Critical.D．Grateful.
31．What des the passage fcus n?
A．Data mnplies and the incnvenience they bring t mbile app life.
B．Mbile apps have greatly changed ur lives.
C．Hw t prtect persnal infrmatin n mbile apps.
D．Platfrms have impacted every aspect f ur daily lives.

Thinking small, being engaging, and having a sense f humr dn’t hurt. Thse are a few f the characteristics f successful science crwdfunding（众筹） effects that emerge frm a recent study that examined nearly 400 campaigns. But having a large netwrk and sme prper skills may be mre crucial.
Crwdfunding, raising mney fr a prject thrugh nline appeals, has taken ff in recent years fr everything frm making mvies t prducing water-saving gadgets. Scientists have tried t benefit frm Internet dnrs（捐赠者）, t, with mixed success. Sme raised mre than twice their gals, but thers have fallen shrt f reaching their targets.
T determine what causes science crwdfunding t be success r failures, a team led by science cmmunicatins schlar Mike Schäfer f the University f Zurich examined the cntent f the webpages fr 371 recent campaigns.
Fur characteristics std ut fr thse that achieved their gals, the researchers reprt in Public Understanding f Science. Fr ne, they use a crwdfunding platfrm that specializes in raising mney fr science, and nt just any kind f prject. Althugh sites like Kickstarter take all cmers, platfrms such as Experiment.cm and Peridish.rg nly present scientific prjects. Fr anther, they present the prject with a funny vide because gd visuals and a sense f humr imprved success. Mst f them cntact ptential dnrs, since prjects that answered questins frm interested dnrs succeed mre easily. And they target a small amunt f mney. The mre mney a prject sught, the lwer the chance it reached its gal, the researchers fund.
Other factrs may als significantly influence a prject’s success, mst ntably, the size f a scientist’s persnal and prfessinal netwrks, and hw much a researcher prmtes a prject n their wn. Crwdfunding can be part f researchers’ effrts t reach the public, and peple give because “they feel a cnnectin t the persn” wh is ding the fundraising — nt necessarily t the science.
32．What can we learn frm Para.2?
A．Crwdfunding can’t be accepted by mst peple.
B．Scientists raised mney nline t make mvies.
C．Nt all the scientists achieved their anticipated gal.
D．Scientist made use f mixed methds t raise mney.
33．Why des Mike Schäfer research recent crwdfunding campaigns?
A．T help scientists t launch creative prjects.B．T figure ut reasns fr their different utcmes.
C．T create attractive cntent fr science websites.D．T distinguish science prjects frm general nes.
34．Which factr cntributes t the success f a crwdfunding campaign?
A．Its lyalty t the platfrm they chse.B．Its interactin with ptential dnrs.
C．Its target f a large sum f mney.D．The value f the prpsed prject.
35．What is the best title f the passage?
A．Crwdfunding is ppular.B．Prfessinal platfrm des wrk.
C．Different attitudes twards nline crwdfunding.D．Hw t create a successful crwdfunding campaign.

Insect numbers have plunged （骤降） by half in sme parts f the wrld due t climate change and intensive agriculture, a study has fund.
The cmbined pressures f glbal heating and farming are driving a“substantial decline”f insects acrss the glbe, accrding t UK researchers.
They say we must acknwledge the threats we pse t insects, befre sme species are lst frever.
But preserving habitat fr nature culd help ensure vital insects thrive.
Lead researcher, Dr Charlie Outhwaite f UCL, said lsing insect ppulatins culd be harmful nt nly t the natural envirnment, but t “human health and fd security, particularly with lsses f pllinatrs（传粉昆虫）”.
“Our findings highlight the urgency f actins t preserve natural habitats, slw the expansin f high-intensity agriculture, and cut emissins t mitigate climate change,” she added. Plummeting ppulatins f insects arund the wrld — a s-called “insect apcalypse” — have caused widespread cncern.
Hwever, scientific data gives a mixed picture, with sme types f insects shwing sharp declines, while thers are staying steady.
In the latest study, the researchers pulled tgether data n the range and number f nearly 20,000 insect species, including bees, ants, butterflies, grasshppers and dragnflies, at abut 6,000 different lcatins.
In areas with high-intensity agriculture and substantial warming, insect numbers have plunged by 49%and the number f different species by 27%, cmpared with relatively untuched places that have s far avided the mst severe impacts f climate change, accrding t the research published in Nature.
But the researchers said there was sme cause fr hpe in that setting aside areas f land fr nature created a shelter fr insects, which need shade t survive in ht weather.
“Careful management f agricultural areas, such as preserving natural habitats near farmland, may help t ensure that vital insects can still thrive,” said Dr. Tim Newbld, als f UCL.
Study researcher, Peter MeCann, added: “We need t acknwledge hw imprtant insects are fr the envirnment as a whle, and fr human health and wellbeing, in rder t address the threats we pse t them befre many species are lst frever.”
24．What caused the number f insects t decrease quickly?
A．The natural law f survival f the fittest.B．Imprvement f human envirnment.
C．Glbal heating and farming.D．Destructin f the fd chain f insects.
25．What des the underlined wrd “mitigate” in paragraph 6 mean?
A．releaseB．stpC．relieveD．prevent
26．What d the researchers agree abut?
A．Nt all types f insects shw decline in numbers.
B．The number f insects in untuched places shws the mst severe decline.
C．There is n need t set aside areas f land fr nature.
D．Careful management f agriculture areas can help all the insects thrive.
27．What is the purpse f this passage?
A．T stress the effect f glbal warming.
B．T aruse peple’s cncern fr the decline f insect numbers.
C．T shw the relatinship between insects and human beings.

My generatin — peple brn after 1990 — are accustmed t “all-in-platfrm” life, where we use mbile apps f different platfrms t d almst everything in life.
Fr instance, I rdered a cup f cffee n Mnday using an nline delivery app. Then, I called a taxi by tapping n the app f a ride-bking service. Next, I bught sme necessities n shpping platfrm Taba. That dne, I mved n t varius ther nline destinatins t get my daily fix f music, reading, scial netwrking and s frth.
Platfrms nw play an increasingly imprtant rle in almst all aspects f day -t-day life, nt just in ecnmic and plitical prcesses. Cnsumptin and scial interactin are clsely linked t platfrms nw.
But, I began t get cnfused recently. I thught I was being treated differently. My friend and I called a taxi at the same time n a ride-hailing platfrm（打车平台） and fund that fr the same destinatin, the prices were different. The price indicated n my phne was higher. One f the ptential reasns culd have been that I regularly use the ride-hailing platfrm and have a higher ranking while my friend desn’t use it that ften. S, the ride-hailing platfrm ffers discunts t newbies like her, t attract and have such custmers.
China’s latest effrts in regulating mnplistic r imprper market behavir are f great significance in prtecting cnsumers’ lawful rights.
“The essence f platfrm-based mnply（垄断） is that a large number f users are gathered n nly a select few platfrm cmpanies, leading t uneven data gathering different platfrms. But in China sme platfrms use their wn data and traffic （流量） t expand capital in a disrderly way,” said Wang Yng, deputy directr f the Institute f Ecnmics at Tsinghua University.
Data mnply als brught anther incnvenience fr cnsumers — platfrms blck links t each ther. Fr instance, link t WeChat Pay f Tencent is nt available n Alibaba’s Taba while there is n Alipay link n JD app’s payment ptins.
Last year, Meituan was charged with preventing custmers frm using Alipay as a payment ptin n Meituan apps and platfrms.
In July, the Ministry f Industry and Infrmatin Technlgy launched a six-mnth special rectificatin （专项治理） fr the internet industry, asking platfrm peratrs t stp blcking each ther’s link.
“Mre effrts shuld als be made t strike a gd balance between persnal infrmatin prtectin and intercnnectivity between platfrms. Cmpanies are being encuraged t further develp data encryptin （加密） technlgy s that the data are available but nt visible.”
28．What is the functin f Para.2?
A．T intrduce the tpic.B．T illustrate the authr’s statement.
C．T aruse readers’ interest.D．T shw ff the authr’s life.
29．What is the main idea f Para.4?
A．The authr and his friend were treated differently by taxi drivers.
B．The authr encuntered s called “big data price discriminatin”.
C．Due t the authr’s higher ranking, the platfrm ffered him a cheaper price.
D．The ride-hailing platfrm ffers discunts t regular custmers.
30．What is the authr’s attitude twards data mnply?

Thinking small, being engaging, and having a sense f humr dn’t hurt. Thse are a few f the characteristics f successful science crwdfunding（众筹） effects that emerge frm a recent study that examined nearly 400 campaigns. But having a large netwrk and sme prper skills may be mre crucial.
Crwdfunding, raising mney fr a prject thrugh nline appeals, has taken ff in recent years fr everything frm making mvies t prducing water-saving gadgets. Scientists have tried t benefit frm Internet dnrs（捐赠者）, t, with mixed success. Sme raised mre than twice their gals, but thers have fallen shrt f reaching their targets.
T determine what causes science crwdfunding t be success r failures, a team led by science cmmunicatins schlar Mike Schäfer f the University f Zurich examined the cntent f the webpages fr 371 recent campaigns.
Fur characteristics std ut fr thse that achieved their gals, the researchers reprt in Public Understanding f Science. Fr ne, they use a crwdfunding platfrm that specializes in raising mney fr science, and nt just any kind f prject. Althugh sites like Kickstarter take all cmers, platfrms such as Experiment.cm and Peridish.rg nly present scientific prjects. Fr anther, they present the prject with a funny vide because gd visuals and a sense f humr imprved success. Mst f them cntact ptential dnrs, since prjects that answered questins frm interested dnrs succeed mre easily. And they target a small amunt f mney. The mre mney a prject sught, the lwer the chance it reached its gal, the researchers fund.
Other factrs may als significantly influence a prject’s success, mst ntably, the size f a scientist’s persnal and prfessinal netwrks, and hw much a researcher prmtes a prject n their wn. Crwdfunding can be part f researchers’ effrts t reach the public, and peple give because “they feel a cnnectin t the persn” wh is ding the fundraising — nt necessarily t the science.
32．What can we learn frm Para.2?
A．Crwdfunding can’t be accepted by mst peple.
B．Scientists raised mney nline t make mvies.
C．Nt all the scientists achieved their anticipated gal.
D．Scientist made use f mixed methds t raise mney.
33．Why des Mike Schäfer research recent crwdfunding campaigns?
A．T help scientists t launch creative prjects.B．T figure ut reasns fr their different utcmes.
C．T create attractive cntent fr science websites.D．T distinguish science prjects frm general nes.
34．Which factr cntributes t the success f a crwdfunding campaign?
A．Its lyalty t the platfrm they chse.B．Its interactin with ptential dnrs.
C．Its target f a large sum f mney.D．The value f the prpsed prject.
35．What is the best title f the passage?
A．Crwdfunding is ppular.B．Prfessinal platfrm des wrk.
C．Different attitudes twards nline crwdfunding.D．Hw t create a successful crwdfunding campaign.
