For each question or statement, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Most travelers are hoping to find ways to save on one-way car rental. The following tips for cheaper travel will allow you to have extra cash in your pocket. 1. Book and pay for your car rental in advance Discounts are available from many car rental companies. In most cases, discounts are given to those who prepay for their rental at the time of reservation (预定) rather than when they return the vehicle. 2. Use discount or coupon codes (优惠码) Some car rental companies offer special coupon codes to help save on various rentals and sometimes include one-way rentals. Coupon codes can usually be found on car rental company websites. 3. Follow the seasons During certain times of the year, car rental companies need to transport their fleet (车队) from one part of the country to another. Car rental companies tend to move their fleets during the winter months and spring. During these times, you are headed in the right direction, you may get better rates in one-way car rental. 4.

A B C D
B
[解析] 事实细节题。根据题干中的get a discount定位至第1个小标题下的段落。文中提到会给提前预付租金者折扣(discounts are given to those who prepay for their rental),B项pay...in advance是对原文prepay的同义替换,故选B项。 A项join a rental program(加入租赁计划)、C项make your rental payment in cash(现金支付租金)在原文没有提到,可排除。文中提到提前预付租金有折扣,但prepay for their rental不同于支付押金,故排除D项pay a deposit when you book your rental(预订租用时支付押金)。 [参考译文] 大多数旅行者都希望能找到节省单程租车费的方法。下面的旅行小贴士可以帮你省钱,让你的口袋里有余钱。 1.提前预订并支付租车费用 许多汽车租赁公司都有折扣。大多数情况下会给予提前预付租金者折扣,而不是归还车辆时给予折扣。 2.使用折扣或优惠码 一些汽车租赁公司提供特别的优惠码,帮助节省各种租赁费用,有时包括单程租赁。优惠码通常可以在汽车租赁公司的网站上找到。 3.跟随季节走 一年中的某些时候,汽车租赁公司需要将车队从国内的一个地方运送到另一个地方。汽车租赁公司往往在冬季和春季转移车队。这时候,方向正确的话,你可能获得单程租车更优惠的价格。 4.保险 通过汽车租赁公司购买租车保险,从长远来看,即使你有保险,也可以省钱。
2. According to the passage, you can usually find special coupon codes ______.
A.on a TV program

[范文]
[解析] 题目要求填写完整客户投诉表格,考生应根据题目提供的信息,补充完整投诉人姓名、电话、投诉日期、投诉产品、发票号码以及投诉的主要内容。投诉的主要内容是主体部分,注意避免遗漏信息点。另外,还需要注意一些重点词汇的表达:购买(buy/purchase)、台式计算机(desktop computer)、发出很大噪音(make loud/a lot of noises)、要求(request)。注意,request指非常正式、有礼貌地请求或恳求,多用于下级对上级。而require侧重上级对下级的要求,有一定的命令或强制性质。客户的投诉诉求用request更合适。
