（2023届湖南省长沙市明德中学5月高考全仿真模拟英语试卷）
Booking flights can be really exciting, but the prices might shock you into not booking your dream vacation. Never fear! We’ve offered some best tips for finding the cheapest airfares.
◆ Be Flexible with Your Travel Dates and Times
Airline ticket prices vary greatly depending on the day of the week and time of the year. In general, Fridays and Sundays are the most desirable days, so tickets will be pricier. Prices are cheaper if you fly after a major holiday. Airlines know when a festival, holiday, or school break is coming up — and they raise prices accordingly. Be flexible with your dates and times, and you’ll save yourself some major money.
◆ Use Multiple Flight Platforms
Checking between the different platforms can often provide you with better insights into flight combinations and prices — for the same exact flights. Different platforms have different advantages and features, so play around with them all. You’ll quickly determine the one(s) you like best!
◆ Check for a Student Discount
As a student, you might be in luck. Some airlines, say, SAS (Scandinavian Airlines), have a student ticket which means that for up to one week before departure, students pay the cheapest fare. Normal travelers at that time have to pay a much higher price, but a SAS Youth Ticket may be only one quarter the price of a normal ticket.
◆ Keep an Eye for Special Deals
Before looking for specific flights, make sure you’ve signed up for some newsletters. Joining the mailing list for airlines will give you access to the absolute best deals. More often than not, cheap flights are only available for a limited window (usually 24 hours). Keeping your eye on the deals will ensure you don’t miss an amazing opportunity.
1. When might the airfares be the cheapest?
A. The first day of Christmas Holiday.
B. The middle day of Christmas Holiday.
C. The Friday before Christmas Holiday.
D. The Wednesday after Christmas Holiday.
2. Why is joining the mailing list for airlines advised according to the text?
A. To make travel time flexible.
B. To get access to special deals.
C. To check for a student discount.
D. To take advantage of different platforms.
3. In which section of a travel website can we read this text?
A. Book your trip. B. Design your route.
C. Enjoy your tour. D. Research your destination.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些寻找最便宜机票的最佳建议。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一个大标题下的“Prices are cheaper if you fly after a major holiday. Airlines know when a festival, holiday, or school break is coming up — and they raise prices accordingly. (如果你在一个重要的节日之后乘飞机，价格会更便宜。航空公司知道什么时候是节日、假期或学校假期，他们会相应地提高价格。)”可知，重要的假期后坐飞机价格会便宜一些，所以圣诞节后的星期三的飞机票更便宜。故选D。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一个大标题下的“Joining the mailing list for airlines will give you access to the absolute best deals. (加入航空公司的邮件列表将使你获得绝对最优惠的交易。)”可知，建议加入航空公司的邮件列表是为了获得特别优惠。故选B。

（2023届江苏省决胜新高考高三年级5月份大联考英语试题）
Squirrels eavesdrop on (窃听) the chatter of songbirds to work out whether the appearance of a predator (食肉动物) is cause for alarm, researchers have found. Animals including squirrels have previously been found to tune in to cries of alarm from other creatures.
But the latest study suggests animals may also keep an ear out for everyday chitchat among other species as a way to assess whether there is trouble afoot.
Writing in the journal Plos One, researchers reported on how they made their discovery by observing 67 grey squirrels as they pottered about (晃悠) different areas in the residential regions of Oberlin.
After 30 seconds of observing a squirrel, researchers played it a recording of the call of a red-tailed hawk (鹰), which lasted a couple of seconds — and their behaviour in the next 30 seconds was monitored. The squirrels were then played a three-minute recording of several different species of songbird chattering on a feeder.
The results revealed that in the 30 seconds after hearing the hawk call the squirrels increased the percentage of their time spent “vigilant” (警惕) compared with before the call, while they also looked up more often to scan the environment. Squirrels that were played bird chatter raised their heads less often during the recording and the number of these “look-ups” dropped off faster over time.
“Recognition of bird chatter as a sign of safety is likely adaptive, as squirrels that can safely reduce their vigilance level in the presence of bird chatter probably are able to increase foraging (觅食) success,” the authors wrote.
The team suggested that with levels of human-made noise increasing, squirrels may find it harder to eavesdrop on birds, meaning they may have to spend more time being alert and less time foraging.
Dr Jakob Bro-Jorgensen, co-author of the study from Oberlin College, said: “The study calls attention to how animals can gather information from their environment by using cues that may at first glance seem irrelevant,” he said. “And it makes you wonder how the more and more pervasive (无处不在的) impact of human activities on natural soundscapes may reduce survival of wildlife in ways we haven’t thought of.”
32. What does the new research find about squirrels’ eavesdropping?
A. It lacks scientific evidence. B. It is more widespread and broader.
C. It needs to be further investigated. D. It is contradictory to previous findings.
33. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The subject of the experiment. B. The findings of the experiment
C. The process of the experiment. D. The purpose of the experiment
34. Why is recognition of bird chatter as a sign of safety important for squirrels?
A. They can escape from potential risks. B. It helps them to forage food successfully.
C. It is safe for them to play with their mates D. They can adapt to a new environment quickly.
35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning the research?
A. Its implication. B. Its appeal to the public.
C. Expectations for further study. D. Scientists with new perspectives.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本篇是一篇说明文。主要介绍了松鼠通过窃听其他动物的交流来判断危险的情况。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But the latest study suggests animals may also keep an ear out for everyday chitchat among other species as a way to assess whether there is trouble afoot.(但最新的研究表明，动物也可能会留意其他物种之间的日常闲聊，以此来评估是否有麻烦发生)”可知，研究结果发现松鼠窃听的对象比我们知道的要广泛，故选B。
【33题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“After 30 seconds of observing a squirrel, researchers played it a recording of the call of a red-tailed hawk (鹰), which lasted a couple of seconds — and their behaviour in the next 30 seconds was monitored. The squirrels were then played a three-minute recording of several different species of songbird chattering on a feeder.(在观察一只松鼠30秒后，研究人员给它播放了一段红尾鹰的叫声，这段叫声持续了几秒钟，并在接下来的30秒内监测它们的行为。然后给松鼠播放一段三分钟的录音，录音中有几种不同种类的鸣禽在喂食器上叽叽喳喳地叫)”可知，本段主要是介绍研究的过程，故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Recognition of bird chatter as a sign of safety is likely adaptive, as squirrels that can safely reduce their vigilance level in the presence of bird chatter probably are able to increase foraging (觅食) success(将鸟叫声视为安全的标志可能是适应性的，因为松鼠在鸟叫声出现时可以安全地降低警惕水平，这可能会提高觅食的成功率)”可知，松鼠通过窃听获取是否存在危险的信息，从而提高觅食成功的概率，故选B。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Dr Jakob Bro-Jorgensen, co-author of the study from Oberlin College, said: “The study calls attention to how animals can gather information from their environment by using cues that may at first glance seem irrelevant,” he said. “And it makes you wonder how the more and more pervasive (无处不在的) impact of human activities on natural soundscapes may reduce survival of wildlife in ways we haven’t thought of.”(这项研究的合著者、来自奥伯林学院的雅各布·布罗-乔根森博士说：“这项研究让人们注意到动物是如何通过使用乍一看似乎无关紧要的线索，从环境中收集信息的。”“这让你想知道，人类活动对自然声景的影响越来越普遍，可能会以我们没有想到的方式减少野生动物的生存。”)”可知，这一部分讲的是研究结果的启示，故选A。
