Consider a guided adventure that combines cross-country skiing and dog mushing（狗拉雪橇）.‎ St. Moritz, Switzerland Night skiing in this Swiss town is some of the best in the world-full moon, inky quiet, and a clear sky full of stars. If you need energy for skiing, you can always refuel with pizza from the wood-fired oven at Murtel middle station. You can keep skiing until the last cable car at 1:40 a. m.‎ Quebec City, Canada In winter, Quebec City comes alive as the cold freezes ponds into glittering skating paths. Don’t miss the largest winter carnival in the world, which offers more than 200 activities and welcomes nearly 500,000 people. And if you are lucky enough, you may see the green dancing lights.‎ Rovaniemi，Finland Welcome to the home of Santa Claus, where you can watch ice sculpting，take a dog sled ride，and even get a reindeer sleigh ride.

I consider warning her that she will never read a newspaper again without asking “What if that had been my child?” That when she sees pictures of starving children, she will look at the mothers and wonder if anything could be worse than watching your child die,‎ I feel I should warn her that no matter how many years she has invested in her career, she will be professionally disturbed by motherhood She might successfully arrange for child care, but one day she will be waiting to go into an important business meeting, and she will think about her baby’s sweet smell. She will have to use every ounce of discipline to keep from running home，just to make sure he is all right.‎ I want her to know that however decisive she may be at the office, she will second-guess ‎ herself constantly as a mother. That her life，now so important, will be of less value to her once she has a child. That she will give it up in a moment to save her child, but will also begin to hope for more years，not so much to realize her own dream，but to watch her child realize his.‎ My friend’s surprised look makes me realize that tears have formed in my eyes. “You’ll never regret it，” I say finally.‎ ‎24. According to the author, what will happen to her friend once she has a child?‎ A. She will never read a newspaper again. ‎ B. She will become less disciplined at work.‎ C. Her physical condition will become worse. ‎ D. Her child will distract her from her career.‎ ‎25. What does the underlined word “it” most probably refer to?‎ A. Child. B. Dream C. Life. D. Value.‎ ‎26. What’s the author’s attitude towards her friend’s plan of having a baby?‎ A. Objective. B. Supportive, C. Disapproving D. Doubtful ‎27. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. The Worry of a Would-be Mother. B. The Survey of Childbirth C. The Secret of a Successful Mother. D. The Meaning of Motherhood.‎ C Last summer, Uber finally started allowing its customers to tip their drivers. Nothing actually prevented them from tipping before. At the end of the ride a passenger could have pulled out his wallet，fished around for change and handed the driver a few dollars. But it would have seemed foolish to do so，when everything else about the deal was handled through a few taps of the app. The app didn’t enable tipping, so riders didn’t tip.‎ All of this stresses the difficult problem for hotel housekeepers. Increasingly, people book hotel rooms through their computers or phones. They pay，and often pre-pay, with their credit cards. There’s a good chance they don’t even carry cash. And yet to tip the housekeeper—or the bellhop or concierge—there’s no choice but cash.‎ It is probably no coincidence, then, according to the New York Times，that fewer than one in three hotel guests in America now leave tips for the people who clean their rooms. It’s not as if hotel guests can’t afford them.‎ Hotel pay varies widely, but some housekeepers rely on tips for their life. Housekeepers in some cities made as low as $ 10 an hour last year. After the Marriott chain started leaving envelopes in 160,000 rooms for housekeeper tips，tipping seemed to have increased, according to the Times. But Marriott ended the practice a few weeks later, finding it unpopular with guests, some of whom felt pressured into tipping.‎ A better solution would be to go the Uber route. Upon checkout (or electronic checkout)，guests could be asked if they’d like to tip their housekeeper. This would be similar to what happens at the end of a ride on ride-hailing apps，or on tablet screens in shops.‎ ‎28. Why does the author mention Uber in the first paragraph?‎ A. To introduce the topic. B. To advertise the app.‎ C. To arouse an argument. D. To make a comparison.‎ ‎29. Why do fewer hotel guests leave tips?‎ A. They can’t afford them. B. They prefer to pay cash tips.‎ C. They can’t tip on the app. D. They’ve paid tips in advance.‎ ‎30. What can we learn from Marriot’s practice?‎ A. People didn’t tip. B. Some felt forced to pay.‎ C. Room service improved D. Guests preferred to tip by card ‎31. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Nothing stops customers tipping. B. Housekeepers live happily on tips. ‎ C. Tipping on apps is the only solution. D. Cash-free deals make it harder to tip.‎ D Indian scientists have designed a new device that they hope will solve one of the biggest problems with the use of solar energy. They call the device a solar tree. Solar trees have metal “branches” extending from a tall pole at different levels. Each branch holds a solar panel( 太阳能电池板). These panels have large metal boards that collect energy from the sun and turn it into electricity.‎ Daljit Singh Bedi is the main scientist at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research in India. The CSIR laboratories are where the solar tree was designed. Bedi says the shape of the solar trees makes it possible to fit more solar panels in a space than traditional systems do. This means less land would be needed to produce solar energy. “It takes about four square meters of ‎ space to produce energy which may need 400 square meters of space,” he says.‎ Scientists believe the energy a solar tree collects will be enough to power five homes. The solar tree will make it easier to provide solar energy for homes in cities. The trees will also take less space from farmers in rural areas. Bedi says solar trees will collect more energy than normal solar panels on the tops of buildings.‎ India has promised to reduce its greenhouse gas production. The country’s promise depends heavily on increasing solar energy. The cost of solar panels has gone down in recent years. This has increased the possibility of applying solar trees in India.‎ Amit Kumar is the senior director of the Energy and Resources Institute in New Delhi. He says it is still not clear how useful these new developments in solar power technology are. “Only when we put those trees on a large scale(规模) will w e be able to get that answer,”he says.‎ ‎32.We may probably read this passage in .‎ A. Culture View’s B. Nature and Science ‎ C. Story Books D.Travelling Guide Book ‎33.What is the largest advantage of the India’s new device?‎ A. Its price is low er than the traditional one. B. Its solar panels are of high quality.‎ C. It takes less land and collects more energy. D. It produces much less greenhouse gas.‎ ‎34. Usually the solar panels are placed on .‎ A. tops of buildings B. trees along the street ‎ C. electricity poles D. the ground in the yard ‎35. What does Amit Kumar think of the new device?‎ A. It’s extremely useful and valuable. B. It may not have a bright future.‎ C. It’s difficult to put into practice. D. It needs testing on a large scale.‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Research suggests that at least 64% of people now spend up to four hours daily of spare time in front of a screen. Just as TV watching has been linked to higher chances of being fat and getting diseases, this extra sedentary (久坐不动) time is bad news for our health. 36 .‎ ‎1.Choose outdoor activities over technology When you're at home, make it a rule that you can't be online if the sun is shining. 37 .Then, after taking these healthy physical activities, you can pull out your phone or tablet, or take a seat at the computer.
