Enjoy the friendliness of this charming Canadian city with joyous outdoor concerts, holiday markets and Quebec Adabra — an evening festival of music, lights, animation (动画) and architectural projections held city-wide.‎ London, England The capital is bursting with holiday cheer. Bright Christmas lights brighten up Oxford Street, Covent Garden and Carnaby Street. Skating people can go for a seasonal spin in Somerset House, Hyde park, Canary Wharf and the Tower of London. Love holiday music? St. Martin-Fields hosts an inspiring line-up of Christmas concerts while London’s most famous Christmas tree entertains visitors in Trafalgar Square.‎ Prague, Czech Republic Prague’s beautiful architecture provides a dramatic setting for its Christmas activities.‎ ‎ At the foot of the Church of Our Lady before Tyn, the Old Town Christmas market sells Christmas gifts and treats to the thousands of shoppers who visit it each December. Carol (圣诞颂歌) singers perform seasonal favourites while a well-decorated Christmas tree adds to the joyous atmosphere.‎ Rovaniemi, Finland For a storybook Christmas, Rovaniemi in Finland is hard to beat. Lapland’s capital becomes a winter wonderland. The area is lit by the impressive northern lights，and they can be witnessed around the city from mid-August to early April. This magical place is also the official home of Santa Claus himself and visitors of all ages can meet everything about Christmas at Santa Claus Village right at the Arctic Circle.‎ ‎21. Why does the author mention the Victorian Christmas card?‎ A. To indicate Quebec City is beautiful. B. To show it always snows at Christmas.‎ C. To tell us Christmas is a lively holiday. D.

It is where Santa Claus comes from.‎ B ‎ My family lived in a motel for two years. Like most families living there, we stayed in a two- bedroom suite. We were living from paycheck to paycheck, so when Christmas approached, we didn’t know if we could be able to purchase gifts for our children.‎ A few days before Christmas someone dropped off presents for all the kids that lived in the motel. It brought so much joy to all the children, most of whom knew that they wouldn’t be receiving anything.‎ Five years ago, we moved out of the motel. After that, my husband and I were working hard at the Joe’s Crab Shack to support our family. A few days before Christmas, I was working a “big top” and a single table. The man at my table could see that the large table was taking most of my time, but I was very patient and friendly. Between drinks and food I was able to chat with him about his family and mine. He left me $10, then walked out. About 10 minutes later, I turned around and there he was again. He gave me a hug, and put something in the side of my coat, telling me “Have a Merry Christmas”. I reached into my coat and pulled out $800.‎ I was so moved by his generosity that I burst into tears. He had given me more than enough money to help my family catch up on our bills. After discussing what we should do with the money we had left over, we decided to buy presents for the families living at the motel, so we could pass on the blessing that we had received. Since then, it has been a tradition for us to give Christmas gift to the families in need.‎ Last year we were able to give presents to each of the 80 children at a school in our community, and throw a Christmas party for them. This year our goal is to add at least 20 children.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎24. What does the underlined part imply?‎ A. They paid for checks non-stop. B. They might struggle financially C. They were in heavy debt. C. They had to save money for children.‎ ‎25. What did the author do?‎ A. She was a nurse. B. She was a designer.‎ C. She was a waitress. D. She was a shop assistant ‎26. What did the author do with the 800 dollars?‎ A. She used all the money to improve their life. B. She threw a party for school kids.‎ C. She bought some presents for poor families. D. She donated all the money.‎ ‎27. The author wrote the article to _______.‎ A. share her own experience B. stress the importance of love C. call on readers to do good deeds D. express her gratitude to a stranger C ‎ Ever since I started my year as a freshman in another state, I’ve been aware that people make many assumptions(假设) about college students, many of which are based on partying. Even my sociology professor jokingly told our class: “If your motto isn’t ‘I am partying therefore I am,’ you’re college-ing wrong.”‎ Whenever I say partying isn’t fun, I get the same response: wide-eyed stares, dropped jaws and a resounding “Seriously?”, which makes me feel like I’m being judged.‎ Don’t get me wrong – I’ve tried to enjoy dancing in hot, crowded spaces to loud rap music. But at last, I’ve always escaped to an empty corner while trying to ignore rude, crazy people. I wondered if I was weird for wanting to stay in on a Friday night to read a book. I even questioned whether or not I was living the “authentic(真正的)” college experience.‎ ‎“Maybe you – a shy boy – just need to go out more.” Friends have said. Suggestions like these make me think about food. Have you ever tasted something that someone else really likes and you don’t? When that happens to me, I have a habit of eating more hoping that it will eventually taste good. Does that ever work? No.‎ For me, partying is a lot like that. From what I can tell, I’m just not a fan. I’m not trying to set myself apart – I just have a different definition of fun. ‎ As you begin to think about your present college life, I hope this helps you realize that there isn’t just one way to experience college life. Some turn up at a party to relax. I turn to a good book. Which option have you made in college? And remember: college is a place where you can keep yourself originally. It means not going with the flow and means figuring out what you want for yourself, originating your own values and thinking a way towards your future success. ‎ ‎28. What should college life be like in most people’s opinion?‎ ‎ A. Making assumptions is part of college life. ‎ B. Everyone will do something wrong in college.‎ ‎ C. College students are involved in partying. ‎ D. College professors seldom joke college students.‎ ‎29. What does the author think of college parties?‎ ‎ A. Comfortable. B. Boring. C. Unavoidable. D. Exciting.‎ ‎30. The author talks about food in the fourth paragraph because _________.‎ ‎ A. he likes eating tasty food at parties. B. there is much food at college parties.‎ ‎ C. he wants to compare food to parties. D. he is really a food fan.‎ ‎31. What is the author’s purpose to write this passage?‎ ‎ A. To remind college students of what college means.‎ ‎ B. To introduce what subject students can learn in college.‎ ‎ C. To share some good choices most college students have made.‎ ‎ D. To show his strong support to the present college life.‎ D Papa was a ranger. He worked with horses. He always wore clean clothes with a hat even when he worked. His hat was always the same kind of a cowboy hat—large black hat of heavy wool. He wore his hat full and high. I think he wanted to look taller than he really was.‎ Mama was proud of the way he looked when he wore his hat and his best clothes. But in some way she got the idea that papa would lose his hair if he kept wearing a heavy wool cowboy hat in the hot weather. She began to talk about his hat.‎ ‎"Papa," she said one day, "why don't you get a nice cool straw hat? That heavy wool cowboy hat may cause losing hair!"Papa laughed at her and explained that the horses wouldn't recognize him if he changed the hat. But she didn't believe him.‎ Mama talked and talked about the hat all summer long. At last papa answered, a little angry, "It would not the cowboy hat but a wife's talking about the hat that makes me lose my hair."‎ Mama had a very serious look on her face. She went straight out and later came home ‎ with a straw hat. It was a bad year for ranger and we didn't have much money. She thought that if she spent the money for a straw hat, papa would wear it. When papa saw the hat, his face got red. Without a word, he pulled the straw hat down over his head until it hid his eyes and went on to train the horses.‎ He was a good ranger and gentle to his horses. But as papa got close to the horses this time, they jumped high into the air, raising their front feet. All of them ran around in the rounded field and then raced toward the barn. Papa began to shout "Woo boys. Steady boys, steady." But there was nothing equal to.‎ Papa walked back straight to the stove in the kitchen, pushed the straw hat deep down into the fire then turned to mama, in a way that even frightened me."Now listen to me, mama. Understand this I will never wear a straw hat or any other kind of hat my horses do not like."Then he put on his wool cowboy hat and walked out of the house.‎ I never heard mama talk any more about hats. Perhaps, that is why when papa died many years later, there was a round spot on the top of his head where there was no hair.‎ ‎32. According to the passage, a ranger is .‎ A. a person wearing a woolen hat B. a position requiring clean clothes C. a person training horses for some purpose D. a person riding a carriage with horses ‎33. Mama bought papa a straw hat because .‎ A. most cowboys preferred to wear it B. she was worried about his health C. a woolen one didn't suit papa D. it was cheap and she could save money ‎34. What quality can we learn from papa?‎ A. Energetic. B. Talkative. C. Devoted. D. Modest.‎ ‎35. It can be learned from the story that .‎ A. this family were not rich but hardworking B. papa didn't love the straw hat and mama C. protecting hair was very important D. a cowboy hat was useful on farming 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。‎ Meat-free Mondays In the United Kingdom, vegetarianism (素食主义) is becoming very popular, with around 3 million people in the UK vegetarian. 36 However, here in France, I often struggle to find a meat-and-fish-free choice on a menu, which can make eating in restaurants a bit of a challenge.‎ People are often curious why I choose to limit my diet in the way I do. There are many reasons why people may choose to be vegetarian. Many people give up meat or fish simply because they do not enjoy the taste. 37 They believe it has a bad effect on the environment or it is bad for health. Furthermore, many people are vegetarians to avoid wasting food. In addition, some religious beliefs forbid eating certain meats. 38 ‎ ‎ 39 However, although sometimes vegetarian food requires a little more creativity, it is very easy to enjoy a healthy and balanced diet as a vegetarian especially when meat substitutes (替代品) are becoming much easier to get.‎ Meat-free Mondays is a campaign (运动) to encourage every family to eat just one main meal a week which does not contain meat or fish. 40 This is a great challenge for anyone who would like to try out some vegetarian cooking and is a wonderful way to contribute to slowing down climate change. ‎ A. Young kids prefer meat and fish than vegetables.‎ B. Some feel that killing animals for meat is wrong.‎ C. Vegetarian food can be delicious and easy to prepare.‎ D. The city where I grew up is known as the ‘vegetarian capital’ of the UK.‎ E. Overall, vegetarians usually have different reasons for choosing their lifestyle.‎ F. The purpose of the campaign is to protect the environment and to improve health.‎ G. A common misunderstanding about vegetarian food is that it is not tasty or healthy.‎ 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；每题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，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。‎ ‎ “This Friday we’ll have the yearly Egg Drop Challenge,” said our science teacher, Mr. Baker. “You can work alone or with a partner.”‎ My friend, Cassie, and I smiled at each other.

I was frightened I might put children in danger because of my inexperience.‎ M: What’s the best thing about your work?‎ W: One thing I like is seeing them have so much fun, even if sometimes their behaviors isn’t ‎ perfect. And I can suggest activities that haven’t been tried before. But there are always some children who haven’t quite got as much ability as others, and for me the most rewarding part of the job is getting them to succeed in things they haven’t managed to do before. It’s hard work though. Sometimes you are on duty at night.‎ M: Mm, what do you think about that?‎ W: Well, I can say I look forward to starting work at 10:00 p.m., but the kids have to be looked after 24 hours so someone has to do it and all the staff take turns.‎ Text 10‎ Good morning, everyone. Here is Entertainment Guide for this week. There is another exhibition of posters in Town Hall. Last year it was early holiday posters; but this time the exhibition will be of railway posters. The exhibition opens on Monday. Admission is free, and the exhibition is open from ten until five every day. If you can spend some time there, I’m sure you will enjoy yourself.‎ There’s a special feature at the Arts Center this week. It’s the very first performance of a new play. The Rose Garden, by a local writer, Alan Brown. This is Alan’s first stage play, but many of you have enjoyed his films on television. The play will be on Saturday. Be sure to book your seats as soon as possible, if you have not done yet. If you like his film very much, I believe this play won’t let you down.‎ There is also a film, Detective in the shadows, being shown this Sunday at the Arts Center Cinema. Book the tickets in advance just in case that you can’t get a ticket the very day you come to see the film. The place to go to make reservations is the Tourist Center. It is open from nine-thirty until four-thirty every day except Sunday and Monday. Also, you can book tickets on the Internet, just go to www.Artcentercinema.com.‎ ‎ ‎
