However, if you’re willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas, there are many countries boasting an extremely cheap and low cost of living. Check out the following countries when planning your next move.‎ Ecuador Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result has become a popular American getaway. They even use the U．S. dollar for their currency. In this country, it’s cheaper to eat out every day than cook for yourself on a budget in the U．S. You can even buy a property for around $50，000 and hire someone to tend to it while you’re away.‎ Mexico Although the country is known for its povertyridden streets, there are many wealthier areas that provide every facility you might need. You can live off a mere $700 to $800 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, facilities, food, and any sightseeing.‎ Argentina Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years. It has great restaurants, a rich history, and many places to explore. Not to mention, it’s not very expensive to live there. A decent sized home can cost around $139，000, which is relatively cheap in relation to homes in the United States.‎ Vietnam Vietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years.

Unfortunately, the cost of tickets alone can make a serious hole in your savings. Don’t let that stop you from taking your dream vacation, though. According to Jeff Klee, CEO of CheapAir.com, there is a “sweet spot” to get the biggest bang for your buck.‎ ‎“The most important rule is fairly obvious: don’t wait until the last minute, as that rarely works out，” he said in a statement. “But beyond that, you also want to be careful not to buy too early.”‎ Still, that’s easier said than done. Finding the most costefficient time to book is tough. Luckily, somebody did the math—so you don’t have to. Data crunchers 14‎ ‎ from the online travel agency CheapAir.com surveyed over 917 million fares to determine the day with the cheapest rates.‎ Here’s what they found: while prices tend to stay the same between 320 and 106 days before a trip, they start dropping at the 105day mark. That said, you might be tempted to book the moment prices drop. But hold on! You’ll save even more money by booking precisely 70 days before your trip. According to CheapAir.com, you can save 48 percent of the ticket’s total cost by using this trick. After that date, airfares will begin to increase again. And don’t even think about booking any later than 20 days ahead of time, as prices will be soaring.‎ So, what are you waiting for? Start planning your next dream vacation, and book accordingly. Your wallet will thank you—guaranteed.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文主要介绍了购买便宜飞机票的方法和策略。‎ ‎4．When can we book our plane tickets to save the most money?‎ A．The later, the better.‎ B．As early as possible.‎ C．105 days before our trip.‎ D．70 days before our trip.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的内容尤其是第四句“You’ll save even more money by booking precisely 70 days before your trip.”可知，旅行70天前预订机票节省的钱最多，故选D。‎ ‎5．How much can the trick help us save if the ticket costs $400 totally?‎ A．$48.　　　　　　　　 B．$192.‎ C．$208. D．$352.‎ B　解析：数字计算题。根据第四段第五句“According to CheapAir.com, you can save 48 percent of the ticket’s total cost by using this trick.”，并结合题干可知，原价是400美元的飞机票总共可以节省：$400×48%＝$192，故选B。‎ ‎6．What’s the purpose of the author in writing this text?‎ A．To explain what a “sweet spot” is.‎ B．To attract people to traveling by plane.‎ C．To show the ways of booking plane tickets.‎ D．To tell people how to buy cheap plane tickets.‎ D　解析：写作意图题。根据第一段第一句“When traveling on a budget, every dollar counts.”和对本文的整体理解可推知，本文的主要目的是介绍购买便宜飞机票的策略和方法，故选D。‎ 14‎ Ⅱ.七选五 ‎(2020·合肥高三联考)In the super fastpaced world we live in, happiness may not come as easily as we wish.

I looked around and nobody stopped so I just went my way. After a few steps, I turned and asked him whether he needed help. He told me his house was one station further and he would only need to take the train there. So I reached for his hand to help him stand up.‎ He wanted to take the stairs but I feared that he would hurt himself since he seemed too weak to walk, so I asked him to take the elevator. Even though my mind was trying to turn the danger lights on, I put the thought that I should not go alone with a drunken man out of my mind and accompanied him on the elevator.‎ We arrived on the platform with no incidents. The man’s knees seemed to soften, so I asked him to rest on a bench. While sitting there, he thanked me, telling me that I saved him. No, I said, I really did nothing; he saved himself as he walked on his own feet.‎ At the next station, we said our goodbyes. Before I knew it, he left 100 dollars and dashed out of the train. There was no way to give him back his money. I wanted to leave it on the seat, but a young woman who thought it belonged to me ran after me and gave me the note.‎ My initial reaction to getting that money was of shame and I even felt offended.

Now, my question 14‎ ‎ is—what act of kindness shall I do with these 100 dollars?‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。作者在地铁站台看到有个醉汉坐在地上，于是把对方搀扶起来并陪他坐上地铁，临下车的时候对方塞给作者一百美元，作者准备用这笔钱继续帮助别人。‎ ‎1．Why was the man sitting on the subway station’s floor?‎ A．Because he wanted to go home.‎ B．Because he was seriously ill.‎ C．Because he was drunk.‎ D．Because he was waiting for the train.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的“I put the thought...with a drunken man”可知，这个人坐在地铁站的地上是因为喝醉了，故选C。‎ ‎2．Seeing the money left by the man, the author first felt ________．‎ A．ashamed B．grateful C．delighted D．frustrated A　解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句中的“My initial reaction...was of shame”可知，作者看到这笔钱最初的反应是感到羞愧，故选A。‎ ‎3．How will the author possibly deal with the money?‎ A．Give it back.‎ B．Buy something favorable.‎ C．Leave it on the seat.‎ D．Give it to people in need.‎ D　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Now, my question is...do with these 100 dollars？”可推知，作者下一步要用这笔钱去帮助他人，故选D。‎ B ‎(2020·济南高三质检)There are only a few truly pleasant smells to wake up to in the morning. For me, it’s the smell of freshly brewed coffee. Just a sniff of it makes me jump out of bed and rush to the kitchen for a gulp of the hot black liquid.‎ If you’re a big fan of coffee, you’ll understand that opening a new packet of coffee releases an amazing smell—fresh, roasted coffee beans. And you’ll be able to identify the beans’ origin—Colombia, Vietnam or Brazil. Tim Hayward is a food writer and coffee shop owner; he believes the smell is absolutely vital. “When you walk into the coffee shop in the morning and that smell hits you, you’re getting physiological responses.”‎ I know from experience when I walk into a cafe, my mouth begins to water and 14‎ ‎ it’s the smell that makes me feel good. However, this feeling sometimes turns to disappointment. This is particularly the case when I order a coffee to go in a tall paper cup and sip the liquid through a hole in the lid. Yes, it’s convenient, but is it really the right way to appreciate it?‎ You walk into the coffee shop, you get the smell, but when you actually take the drink out, you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past your tongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose. As well as eliminating the smell, takeaway coffee cups create a lot of waste and a vast majority of them still don’t get recycled. So maybe now is the time to really wake up and smell the coffee by drinking from a cup in a cafe, chatting with friends and saving the planet!‎ ‎【解题导语】　咖啡的味道令作者着迷，但是纸杯装的咖啡，其味道被阻隔了，无法让人感觉到咖啡真正的味道，并且纸杯还带来污染。‎ ‎4．In which aspect does the author agree with Tim Hayward?‎ A．People drink coffee first thing in the morning.‎ B．Coffee beans’ origin makes all the differences.‎ C．Some people are addicted to drinking coffee.‎ D．It’s the smell of coffee that really matters.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“For me, it’s the smell of freshly brewed coffee.”以及第二段第三句中的“he believes the smell is absolutely vital”可知，两人都认为咖啡的味道非常重要。故选D。‎ ‎5．What does the author complain about?‎ A．The process of making coffee.‎ B．The high temperature of coffee.‎ C．The design of the paper coffee cup.‎ D．The inconvenience of buying coffee.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句和第四段第一句中的“you are drinking it from something that is designed to deliver the hot liquid directly past your tongue, but prevent any smell coming up to your nose”可知，纸杯的设计令作者不满。故选C。‎ ‎6．What can replace the word “eliminating” underlined in Paragraph 4?‎ A．Creating.　　　　　　　 B．Removing.‎ C．Increasing. D．Changing.‎ B　解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段第一句中的“prevent any smell coming up to your 14‎ ‎ nose”并结合画线词所在句可推知，该词的含义与“prevent”含义相近，故选B。‎ ‎7．What can be the best title of the text?‎ A．Wake Up and Smell the Coffee B．Try to Be a Real Lover of Coffee C．Drink Coffee to Save the Planet D．Choose Takeaway Coffee for Convenience A　解析：标题归纳题。根据第一段第二句“For me, it’s the smell of freshly brewed coffee.”并结合文章其他内容可知，全文围绕咖啡的味道展开叙述，主要讲述了作者对咖啡味道的喜爱，并表述了打包带走的纸杯装咖啡的坏处，并因此建议不如在咖啡馆内坐下来，细细品味咖啡，故A项最适合作本文标题。‎ Ⅱ.七选五 ‎(2020·平顶山名校模拟)From sports teams to movie characters, we love supporting the weak.
