This year marks the 32nd Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival (January—March), when massive frozen structures rise and are lit up, transforming the city into a winter wonderland.‎ Lyon, France ‎ Paris may be called the City of Light, but every December, light takes center stage in Lyon, France’s second-largest city. That’s when the annual Festival of Lights (December 5—8) takes over, with more than 70 light installations（装置）that transform the city’s streetscapes into modern works of art. The city is also home to two Christmas markets (one in La Croix-Rousse; the other at Place Carton; through December 25).‎ Lima, Peru ‎ Peru’s capital Lima is home to the world’s highest number of cooking schools per person. Aside from its delicate dining, the city also has great cocktail bars where you can taste classic or contemporary takes on the Pisco Sour. Combine that with the oceanfront setting and temperatures in the 80s, and you’ll understand why Lima should no longer be ignored this winter.‎ Vermont, US Winter in Vermont means skiing and snowboarding. This year, many resorts（度假村）have greatly upgraded their snowmaking abilities as part of a $15 million statewide program that replaced many outdated snow guns with new, low-energy models. These new machines will also improve the quality of snow surfaces and lengthen the season, meaning this will be one of the best winters for skiing and riding in Vermont in recent memory.‎ ‎21. What similarities do the first two places have?‎ A. They have three-day festivals. B. They offer snow sculptures.‎ C. They are decorated with lights. D. They are extremely cold.‎ ‎22. Which provides a good chance to buy a Christmas gift?‎ A. Harbin. B. Lyon. C. Lima. D. Vermont.‎ ‎23. What’s new to the resorts in Vermont?‎ A. Updated equipment. B. Skiing and snowboarding. ‎ C. Cooking schools. D. A longer winter. ‎ B Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people and many animals like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper - a little bird called a honey guide. ‎ The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax(蜂蜡) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach beeswax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animals or people as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the followers reach in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the beeswax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share. ‎ ‎ Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating beeswax, but it is very determined in ‎ its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.‎ ‎24. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?‎ A. It's small in size. B. It's hidden in trees. ‎ C. It's covered with beeswax. D. It's hard to recognize.‎ ‎25. What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. Bees. B. Birds. C. Honey seekers. D. Beekeepers.‎ ‎26. In which way is the honey guide special?‎ A. it gets its food B. it goes to church ‎ C. it sings in the forest D. it reaches into bees' nests ‎27. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Wild Bees B. Wax and Honey C. Beekeeping in Africa D. Honey-Lover's Helper C ‎“When I grow up, I want to be...”‎ Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about, our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your aspirations(志向，抱负)may have changed from when you were in primary school.‎ However, it seems career options aren’t only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by Teens, doctors, lawyers, and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. This is in line with a similar survey carried out in the UK in May 2011 by a job website, in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17. ‎ Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are much-respected members of society, and they make good money. What’s more, these professions are often seen as a sign of upper social class. ‎ It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking to see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators(标志) of a successful career. .‎ However, not every child has the makings of a doctor, a lawyer, or a banker. They are those who see achievements and happiness in other areas. As the Teens’ survey discovered, a variety of unconventional jobs---a coffee shop owner, a gourmet(美食家), a waiter at a fast food restaurant---are among teenagers’ career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.‎ With every choice come responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific education and training, so you have to learn to balance optimism(乐观主义)and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.‎ ‎28.What is the passage mainly about?‎ A. The fact that the teenagers in the UK like doctors.‎ B. The importance of choosing a good job.‎ C. Careers in teenagers’ mind.‎ D. The fact that the choice of career needs challenge.‎ ‎29.What is the top career choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17 according to the ‎ article?‎ A. Medicine B. Law C. Bank D. Education ‎30.According to the article, all of the following are the benefits of being a doctor or a lawyer except _______.‎ A. respect from others B. high pay C. status of upper social class D. the oldest profession ‎31.According to the last two paragraphs, which of the following is TRUE?‎ A. Careers such as gourmets and waiters are not as rewarding as doctors and lawyers.‎ B. Specific education and training can help get a good job.‎ C. Responsibility is the most important when you choose a good job.‎ D. Optimism and confidence is more important than being realistic when choosing careers. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ D A billionaire has recently made one of the biggest charitable（慈善的）donations to a university in China’s history. Chen Tianqiao donated $115 million to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to help advanced brain research. The donation will be spent deepening the understanding of how the brain works. Chen has been interested in brain research, believing it can shape the industries such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality. However, this huge donation has caused heated discussing among Chinese scholars and internet users alike.‎ Many criticized him for choosing to give money to a foreign university rather than home institutes for brain research, which are developing fast and are on track to catch up with the US in just a few years. Rao Yi, a biologist at Peking University, even said the donation was a typical mistake.‎ Others, however, support his choice. They believe Caltech is a more reasonable choice compared to Chinese research institutions. Caltech has a long history and has taken a leading position in biology, and therefore it produces more efficient results. In addition, the results of the research benefit not only the American people, but also the rest of the world.‎ A similar controversial case started two years ago when Pan Shiyi, chairman of SOHO China, donated $15 million to Harvard University to help disadvantaged Chinese students.‎ Many believe that China is still behind in the management and use of donated money, and that as a result, Chinese charity donors are looking abroad. In comparison, Western countries like the US, which have a long history of donating money, have well-developed systems that use money efficiently. They can also provide full access for donors who want to track the use of the money. To get more donations, Chinese universities should be braver and more honest. They need self-reflection, rather than envy.‎ ‎32. Why did Chen’s donation draw criticism?‎ A. It was not given to a Chinese university. B. It was one of the largest to Caltech.‎ C. It was not used efficiently in the USA. D. It was used in brain research.‎ ‎33. What is the reason for some people in favor of Chen’s choice?‎ A. The Chinese are just too envious B. The achievements will benefit the whole world C. Caltech is a university with a longer history D. The fund can help disadvantaged ‎ Chinese students ‎34. What is then author’s purpose to mention Pan Shiyi in the passage?‎ A. To suggest the enthusiasm of the billionaires about universities.‎ B. To show off generosity of the billionaires in China.‎ C. To inform some Chinese students are poor at academy D. To prove the widespread disagreement over donating abroad.‎ ‎35. What does the author think of the Chinese universities should do to get more fund?‎ A. explore artificial intelligence B. grow fast and catch up with the US C. use the donations efficiently and reasonably D. educate braver and more honest graduates 第二节 （共5小题，每小题3分，满分15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。‎ Self-confidence，motivation，support and knowledge are the main factors determining if one succeeds or fails．Each of these factors influences our chances of success in a different way． 36 ‎ Lack of self-confidence is probably the most dreadful enemy of success. 37 Even the most capable person is sure to fail with such an attitude．If it is your case too，improving your self-confidence is a must．‎ Motivation is equally as important as self-confidence． 38 You may even not try to achieve the goal that lies before you. It is important to find out what is the best motivation for you．If you have to do something that does not motivate you，just treat yourself with a reward after you succeed．Of course，this reward should consist of something that will motivate you to pursue（追求）success．‎ ‎ 39 While it is not a must for succeeding in your goals，a lack of support can often lead to failure．It is also true that some people cannot succeed without proper support from their surroundings. These people often lose their motivation or worse，their self-confidence．If you know such a person，supporting him or her is a right thing to do．Also surround yourself with the right people．You will see the results soon．‎ Pursuing realistic goals is also important for a success．You should always make sure that your goals are achievable． 40 Unrealistic goals usually lead to a fast failure and also make many people embarrassed．‎ A．As we know，many people try but do not succeed．‎ B．Consider all your knowledge and skills when setting up a goal．‎ C．Motivation is something in yourself that can push you forwards．‎ D．There are several main reasons why some people cannot succeed．‎ E．Supportive family and collective workplace are also very important．‎ F．Without it，you will not push yourself towards a better performance．‎ G．Thinking you are not good enough to achieve your goals is the same as deciding that you will not succeed．‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D ‎）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Once upon a time there was a group of tiny frogs that held a competition. ‎ The 41 was to reach the top of a very high tower.

This gift was the Amber Room, that was given this name because several tons of amber were used to making it. The amber which was selected had a beautifully yellow-brown colour like honey. The design of a room was in the fancy style popular in those day. It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels, which took the country's best artists about ten years to make it.‎ In fact, the room was not made to be a gift.
