21、理解（共20题，每题2分，共40分）第一节：阅读理解（共15题，每题2分，共30分）AThere are two ways to save money traveling. The first way is to get the best deals on the specific things you want. There is a limitation to this type of approach (途径，方法) though. If you find the lowest price on the best hotel in Honolulu at the height of th
22、e season, you will save money, but still have a very expensive vacation. Trying to get exactly what you want will generally be an expensive proposition, in travel and in life.The other approach is to be a true opportunist. This will be difficult for some of you, and entirely unacceptable to others.
23、Nonetheless (尽管如此)，the travelers who get to travel the most, go to the widest variety of places, learn the most and do the most, are the opportunists. This will be true until you are so wealthy that you have no monetary (货币的；钱的)limits. Ks5uThe first time I went to Ecuador, I went there because it wa
24、s cheap. If it wasnt, I would have had a great timesomewhere else. The trip lasted a month, and cost $1045, which included airfare and even the $130 fee for a guide to take me to the top or glacier (冰川) covered Mount Chimborazo.I cut the cost by taking a bus from my home in Michigan to Miami, and ba
25、ck again when I returned from Ecuador. The round-trip ticket cost $158. The round-trip flight to Quito from Miami was only $256, because it was a courier (信使，通讯员) flight, which meant I signed for some luggage(car parts), and could only take carry-on luggage.Never did I feel deprived, or bored. I had
26、 a great time, eating wherever it was cheap and clean, doing all sorts of inexpensive, but interesting things, and traveling across the country to climb Chimborazo. I also met and fell in love with my wife Ana.Being an opportunist means youll have just as much variety, and probably almost everything
27、 you wanteventually. You just have to stop trying to get exactly what you want exactly when you want it. If the guide that took me up Chimborazo hadnt dropped his price from $200 to $130, I would have spent $2 for a bus and gone hiking on EI Altar, another great Andean mountain. That would have left
28、 me with enough money for several other minor adventures.1. The underlined phrase “the best deals” in the first paragraph probably refers to _.A.the best service B.the lowest priceC.the cheapest goodsD.the best approaches2. The return tickets from his hometown to Quito cost the author _.A.$128B.$256
29、C.$207D.$4143. The last paragraph was to tell us how to _.A.save money for minor adventuresB.cut down traveling costs.C.deal with different situationsD.become opportunist travelers4. Its suggested that the author _.A.went hiking on El AltarB.traveled with his wife in EcuadorC.is an opportunist trave

The HBL starts in September with qualifying and preliminary(预备的，初步的) rounds and continues through April of the followin
34、g year, when the finals are held. Broadcasting the games on television has helped make the HBL a wildly popular event. Its become the place to spot young basketball talent.
