[2021·长沙市高三统一模拟]If you'll be taking vacation time in the coming year and plan on flying, here are some useful tips for buying a cheap ticket.
When to buy
If you're going to buy tickets for domestic (国内的) flights, check prices on Tuesday afternoons. This is an old tip but still useful because most U．S. carriers continue to release sales on Tuesday morning, and competitors quickly drop their fares to match the better deals.
When to fly
Weekdays continue to be generally cheaper times to fly than weekends for most flights. In the U．S., the cheapest days are typically Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. A good itinerary (旅行计划) for the expensive U．S. spring break travel period is scheduled from Tuesday to Saturday; it will save you money (in most cases)．
Where to fly
We continue to see good deals to Boston and Denver and more and more nice prices to Chicago, Seattle and Washington, D．C.. As for Europe, there have been surprising deals throughout the fall and those will continue into the winter.
Direct flights vs connecting flights
Compare the price of direct flights with that of connecting flights. Sometimes adding a stop to your route will save you money, and it might be enough to endure the extra long flying day. An example: San Francisco to Raleigh: $553 for a direct flight, $362 with one stop.
You'd better think twice about the direct flight for San Francisco to Raleigh.
Compare, compare, compare
Stifle_the_impulse to go to your favorite airline site to purchase tickets without doing any comparison. Example: Let's say you want to fly from New York to London and figure your favorite U．S. legacy carrier will get you there for the best price—$554 for a round trip.
However, the comparison site also shows a cheaper flight from the same legacy carrier ($521). See what you're missing when you fail to do comparison?
1．When can you possibly find the best price for flights within the U．S.?
A．On Monday morning.
B．On Thursday afternoon.
C．On Tuesday morning.
D．On Sunday morning.
2．What does the underlined phrase “Stifle the impulse” probably mean?
A．Feel free to do something.
B．Suppress the desire to do something.
C．Get well prepared for something.
D．Make a quick decision on something.
3．Who is the text intended for?
A．Those who usually choose first class for their flights.

1．C 考查细节理解。根据When to fly部分的第二句可知，在美国，买机票最便宜的日子通常是星期二、星期三和星期六，故C项正确。
2．B 考查词义猜测。根据画线短语所在部分的小标题可知，该部分是建议游客买机票时要作比较，并结合画线短语所在句可知，此句是说抑制住你不作任何比较就去你最喜欢的航空公司网站买机票的冲动。B项意为“抑制住做某事的欲望”，故B项符合文意。
3．D 考查推理判断。根据第一段可知，如果你明年要休假并打算乘飞机旅行，这里有一些有用的购买便宜机票的建议，故可推知，本文是写给那些寻找最佳机票价格的人，故D项正确。
