文章介绍了几种在大学时,可以用来节省开支的方法,如比较价格、使用学生交通折扣、减少课本花费等。
1.C 解析:根据前一句中的“with a little know-how, you can gain the benefits of being a student with a lot more cash in your pocket”可知,懂得一些窍门,你的口袋里会留有许多现金;而后一句又提到“Checking out these top money-saving tips might be helpful”(看一看这些最省钱的小窍门可能会有帮助)。由此可推知,该空应是说明看下文省钱的小窍门的原因。故选C。
2.G 解析:根据该段的标题Save money by comparison和该段中的“compare the price”“a price comparison site”可知,该段主要讲的是通过比较价格来省钱的方法,故G项与此处匹配。
3.E 解析:空前一句是说我们对公共交通既爱又恨;根据空后一句中的“most cities...much cheaper than standard tickets”可知,许多城市提供学生乘车证,这些乘车证比标准票价更便宜。由此可推知,空处应是表明为什么要选择学生乘车证。故选E。
4.A 解析:空处为段落的标题。根据该段第一句中的“Going out to a nightclub”可知,此处指的是社交活动;根据第二句中的“take full advantage of student offers”可知,要充分利用专供学生的服务。由此可知,该段是说要在社交活动中利用专供学生的服务。故选A。
5.F 解析:该段的标题为Spend less on textbooks(在课本上少花钱)。根据空前的“figure out which books...from the library”可知,你要弄清楚哪些书是你真正需要拥有的,哪些是你可以从图书馆借的,且空后一句提到你也可以和同学合买,由此可知F项符合语境,衔接上下文。
Ⅲ.短文改错
Last Sunday, our class paid a visit to a local old people's home. After arrive there, we saw some old people doing tai chi. They left us an impression of being energetic or healthy. But there were also some old people seated in their wheelchair. They were not quite well, that made me very sad. The old must have experienced a hard life in past. I really wish them to be happy, peace and healthy for the rest of our life. During the visit, we chat with the old and did some cleaning there. We plan to visit them again in the future and hope for more people in our society care about the old so that they can live more comfortable.
