资料：Everyone knows airline pricing is based on supply and demand. Fares are more expensive during peak travel seasons like summer and to prime destinations like European capitals. So if a flight to Rome costs more than a flight to Milan, you'd think that demand for Rome must be higher or supply lower.
What's puzzling is that you can pay a high price to a given destination but a dramatically lower price for the exact same flight if you agree to go on to another destination.
Take Alitalia to Rome, for instance, for travel in August. A round-trip, economy flight directly to Rome leaving JFK at 10:05 p.m. on Alitalia 611 on August 5 costs $1,655 when booked on April 30. Compare that to $903 for a round-trip, economy ticket to Milan （stopping in Rome） leaving JFK on the exact same Alitalia 611 flight at 10:05 p.m. on August 5. So why is Alitalia willing to fly to Rome for $752 less than it would otherwise, plus give you an extra one-and-a-half-hour flight to Milan?
Airlines have increased their profitability in recent years by segmenting the market for air travel and charging customers different prices for the same product. In this case, the market is segmented based on demand for direct flights. Airlines know most people prefer the shortest route to their destination, so they make customers pay up for the privilege of flying direct. （They also make it a little more inconvenient if you don't pay up for a direct flight, in order to encourage you to fly direct.）
When prices become so obviously illogical, it may be time to revisit why air tickets can't be transferred or resold just like any other normal product. If the airlines are entitled to exploit the free market, shouldn't customers be allowed to do the same thing?
Why may prices for direct flights be higher according to the passage?

A.Because all people prefer the shortest route to their destination.
B.Because airlines take advantage of people’s preference for direct flights.
C.Because connecting flights may cause some inconvenience.
D.Because airlines charge customers different prices for the same product.
B.Because airlines take advantage of people’s preference for direct flights.

第7题：
If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A well-known scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1937), concluded from other men's work and his own among people in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities. He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.
Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature. Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!
1). Huntington based his conclusions on ___________.
A. work with people in different climates
B. records of temperature changes
C. records of change in his own intelligence
D. all of the above
2). Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have _________.
A. a great effect on everyone's intelligence
B. no effect on people's intelligence
C. effect on only a few people's intelligence
D. some effect on most people's intelligence
3). One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that ___________.
A. there are some things making all nature different from before
B. it is neither too warm nor too cold
C. it is more natural for the development of mental abilities
D. it lasts longer than the other seasons
4). The two best seasons for thinking seem to be _____________.
A. winter and summer
B. fall and winter
C. spring and fall
D. summer and spring
5). According to the passage above, vacations from thinking should be taken ___________.
A. as seldom as possible
B. during spring and fall
C. several times throughout the year
D. during the summer

第8题：
Currently, every college student knows that ability is important. They would like to attend various training programs and apply for different certificates so that they are more competent. Do you think that attending training programs and getting more certificates can improve competence? Write an essay of about 400 words entitled: Do More Certificates Stand for Better Ability?
正确答案：Do More Certificates Stand for Better Ability?
This is the very hot season for the college graduates to hunt for jobs in the market. You may see a lot of graduates holding a variety of certificates indicating their versatile skills. Every college student knows that ability is important. They would like to attend various training programs and apply for different certificates so that they are more competent. However can attending training programs and getting more certificates improve their competence? As far as I am concerned the certificates do not really mean competence.
First of all the certificates are simply several pieces of papers proving that you have attended some training programs. Whether you are competent or not really depends upon your cleverness and experience. For example many English majors have passed the TEM-8 an English test specific for the language students. Does that mean their English is perfect once getting such a certificate? Not exactly. The fact is you may find more often than not that many students speak broken English and write poor English. The reason is that they may assume that a certificate can prove their English is very good. So they stop their daily exercises and training and rest on the satisfaction of getting their certificates.
Secondly the ability must be obtained through hard work and long practice. The students should attach more importance to obtaining the ability rather than getting the certificates. The social practices help them make the book knowledge become their own. The certificates should stimulate them to study hard and become more excellent and competent. As for the recruiting companies they prefer the students who can put their book knowledge into daily use which is far more practical than the certificates. Finally the students should try to make themselves more marketable. They need to give up the unrealistic assumption and realize the true fact.
To sum up the certificates do not really mean competence. What we need to do is integrate the certificates with the development of our competence. The two should go hand in hand to make us capable persons.
