A week later, she ran into a different Santa in a mall. He stopped to ask what she wanted for Christmas. Kylie was surprised and let him know: “If you can’t remember what I told you last week, how are you going to remember on Christmas Eve?!”‎ Mary Paul, Milwaukee, Wisconsin As my son Mike and I drove to the mall, we passed a Salvation Army Santa ringing his bell. “Mike,” I said, “there’s Santa!” He shook his head. “That’s just some guy in a Santa suit,” he said. It saddened me to think that maybe my son no longer believed in Santa, and we drove the rest of the way in silence. At the mall, we spotted another Santa greeting young believers. Suddenly, Mike took off toward him. Turning back to me, he shouted. “Now, there’s the real Santa!”‎ Michael E. Fahey, Huntley, Illinois We immigrated to America from China when I was six. Because I was shy and didn’t speak English, I had few friends. My days were spent at home with my brother. Sometimes we’d help our neighbor Mr. Mueller pull weeds. One Christmas Day, there was a knock at the door. Grandma opened it, and there stood a big fellow in red with a snow-white beard, laughing, “Ho, ho, ho!” He handed out presents and made us laugh. I had so much fun. It was years later when I learned that our special Santa was our neighbor Mr. Mueller.‎ Joanne Tang, Litchfield Park, Arizona ‎21. Why was Kylie surprised when running into a different Santa?‎ ‎ A. Because she thought they were the same Santa.‎ ‎ B. Because she wished to get another toy.‎ ‎ C. Because she knew who the Santa was.‎ ‎ D. Because she got what she wished.‎ ‎22. What would Mike’s parent feel as to Mike’s different attitudes towards Santa? ‎ ‎ A. Angry. B. Confused. C. Sad. D. Understandable.‎ ‎23. What did Mr. Mueller do on Christmas Day?‎ ‎ A. He stayed with us in our home. B. He continued to pull weeds.‎ ‎ C. He stood outside our house. D. He gave out gifts by acting as Santa.‎ B Howling is a behaviour commonly observed among a wolf pack. As pack animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication among each other. There are different explanations of a wolf’s howl and it appears that there may be more to discover． ‎ One theory is that wolves howl to bond better together. It’s almost as if howling together helps the pack stay together．Perhaps something is similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together. But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H. Hamngton, a professor who studies wolf behaviour. ‎ Indeed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a chorus, and the next, quarreling among each other. It appears that usually the lowest-ranking members of the pack may actually be “punished” for joining in the chorus at times. So is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members? Why do wolves howl for sure?‎ What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other. Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times. When this happens, howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering． ‎ Howling, interestingly, is a contagious behaviour. When one wolf starts to howl, very likely others will follow. This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of “roll call” where wolves all howl together to report their presence. ‎ ‎24．What is the possible similarity between wolves’ howling together and humans’ singing in chorus?‎ A. The act of calling each other． B. The sense of accomplishment． ‎ C. The sense of belonging to a group． D. The act of hunting for something． ‎ ‎25. Why does Harrington think the “social on” theory may be wrong?‎ A. Wolves of low rank are encourage to join in the chorus． ‎ B. Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds． ‎ C. Wolves separate from each other after howling． ‎ D. Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together． ‎ ‎26. Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to _______ ． ‎ A. show their ranks B. find their companions C. report the missing ones D express their loneliness ‎27. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means ______ ． ‎ A. howling spreads from one to another B. howling is a signal for hunting C. howling often occurs in the morning D. howling is a way of communication C This will be the only plane girls will want to fly on ever again. Disney just introduced their brand new “Frozen” air-plane in partnership with Canadian airline WestJet and it is even more magical than you would have expected.‎ Of course the Boeing 737 features the princesses Anna and Elsa and snow man Olaf on the outside of the plane. Disney artists were brought in to paint the plane and according to WestJet it took the painting team more than 21 days of non-stop work to get it just right. The painting team was told to watch “Frozen” to get into the spirit before beginning work.‎ ‎“On the tail of our aircraft, sisters Anna and Elsa celebrate sisterhood and the magic of snow,” WestJet explains on its website. “From the aircraft tail along the main body of the airplane, the magic travels to warm the front of the aircraft where Olaf can be found enjoying a summer day on the beach. In the Disney film ‘Frozen’, Olaf dreams of going someplace warm, and now we’ll be taking him to the sunshine with us.”‎ And did we mention the glitter? Sparkles were added to the paint so that the airplane appears to shine as it moves through the sky.‎ The inside of the plane is equally attractive and the design becomes gradually ‎ unfrozen as you move through the passage. In the back of the plane, the overhead bins and headrest covers have a cold theme. The decoration becomes warmer as you move closer to the front.‎ And while WestJet says its painters were inspired by Disney World, the plane will fly throughout the airline’s 737 networks, not only to Orlando so you can jump on board and let it go without actually heading to Disney.‎ ‎28. What can we see on the tail of the plane?‎ ‎ A. Olaf lying on the beach. B. Anna and Elsa playing with snow.‎ ‎ C. Anna and Elsa enjoying the sunshine. D. Olaf using magic.‎ ‎29. Which of the following is true?‎ ‎ A. The plane has magic.‎ ‎ B. Disney produced the airplane on its own.‎ ‎ C. The painters watched the film “Frozen” to relax themselves.‎ ‎ D. The plane seems to shine because of the sparkles in the paint.‎ ‎30. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?‎ ‎ A. It is very cold inside the plane.‎ ‎ B. The plane flies from Canada to Orlando only.‎ ‎ C. There are 737 planes of this kind.‎ ‎ D. The inside has different decorations. 31. What’s the aim of the passage?‎ ‎ A. To promote the film “Frozen”.‎ ‎ B. To attract more people to Disneyland.‎ ‎ C. To introduce a new plane.‎ ‎ D. To praise the workers’ hard work.‎ D When 12-year-old Jorja Hope learned she was losing her hearing, her first reaction was: “I won’t be able to hear Taylor Swift sing.”‎ So her twin sister, Chloe, set out on a mission to make sure Jorja not only got to hear Swift perform in person before her inner-ear disease got worse but also met the singer. Chloe launched the HelpJorjaMeetTaylorSwiftSydney campaign on Twitter, and ‎ it picked up steam when their local Australian newspaper, the Maitland Mercury covered her difficult situation.‎ Jorja saw her dreams come true on Saturday night when she finally met Swift at her performance in Sydney. Pictures online of the meeting show Swift hugging a grinning and excited Jorja, who walked away with a signed poster of the singer.‎ ‎“She was very, very amazing and very pretty,” Jorja told the Maitland Mercury. “I didn’t expect her to be as tall as she was.” The 12-year-old took the pop star a pair of UGG boots as a present.‎ Her mom, Melissa Hope, said her daughter deserved the special night. “Jorja has battled her whole life from being born preemie with growth problems, to operations on her ears already and five operations for broken bones,” Hope told the Maitland Mercury newspaper about her daughter, who currently wears a hearing aid. “She is a fighter. No matter what happens, she smiles and keeps going.” Jorja isn’t letting her disease slow her down, either. She’s learning sign language so she can still sing Swift’s songs.‎ This isn’t the first time Swift has met with her superfans. The singer has surprised fans with home visits and gifts. She once attended another fan’s bridal shower because she couldn’t make her wedding, which she’d originally been invited to, and she often visits children’s hospitals.‎ ‎32. Who is the organizer of the HelpJorjaMeetTaylorSwiftSydney campaign?‎ ‎ A. Jorja. B. Jorja’s mother.‎ ‎ C. Jorja’s sister. D. The Maitland Mercury.‎ ‎33. Taylor Swift gave Jorja _________ as a gift.‎ ‎ A. a poster with her signature B. a pair of UGG boots ‎ C. a newspaper D. a hearing aid ‎34. We can learn from Paragraph 5 that_________.‎ ‎ A. Jorja hasn’t received any treatment for her ear disease ‎ B. Jorja often fought with other children before ‎ C. Jorja has to walk slowly because of her ear disease ‎ D. Jorja is an optimistic girl ‎35. What is the passage mainly about?‎ ‎ A. Kind-hearted Taylor Swift often meets with her super-fans.‎ ‎ B. Taylor Swift made the 12-year-old’s dreams come true before she loses hearing.‎ ‎ C. The online campaign HelpJorjaMeetTaylorSwiftSydney was a success.‎ ‎ D. We shouldn’t give up our dreams in face of difficulty.‎ 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。‎ Holidays are all about spending time with family and friends. 36 So then your jet lag may happen. ‎ ‎ 37 It follows a 24-hour cycle. The internal clock controls many of your daily activities, including when you fall asleep and when you wake up. 38 That’s why you find yourself waking up at the dawn every morning, even when you haven’t set your alarm.‎ When we travel and especially cross time zones in a short amount of time, the pattern gets broken. 39 When you get to New York, you’re three hours ahead but your body thinks you’re still operating on California time. Your watch may say it’s time to go to bed, but your body is saying “not so fast, the night is still young.” By the time you do get tired and go to sleep, you've lost three hours of sleep.‎ While adjusting your body, we think it’s much better to take early measures to avoid getting jet-lagged in the first place. 40 From wearing sunglasses at night to keeping your body active on the flight, they will help prevent jet lag during your travels. ‎ A. Like it or not, we have a set pattern.‎ B. Say you fly from California to New York.‎ C. As you know, everyone has an internal clock.‎ D. California and New York are in different time zones.‎ E. In the end you get used to it, but that probably takes a few days.‎ F. There’re lots of things you can do to prepare your body against any tiredness.‎ G. Sometimes, we need to travel long distances, such as another city, state, or even country.‎ 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）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ The train shakes back and forth, its wheels making a loud noise against the tracks.

I'll give you an example: The same technique for climbing down steep rocks is used in both sports. Of course, climbers use this technique to come down hills, while cave-explorers use it to go down holes.‎ W: What else does your society do?‎ M: For one thing, we help preserve caves. Believe it or not, some people are so careless that they just leave their litter in caves. And some people even write on cave walls. So we pick up litter and clean away the drawings on the wall.‎ W: I don't think I'd like cave-exploring very much. Caves are wet and cold and dark, aren't they?‎ M: I suppose they are, but they can also be beautiful. Tell you what, why don't you come along with me to the meeting tonight? They’ll be showing pictures that we took in a cave last weekend. You'll see some unbelievable rocks. It might change the way you think about caves.‎ ‎(Text 10) ‎ W: As you know, last year I entered and won an essay competition in a magazine. The prize was a trip to stay in an environmentally friendly hotel called Ecolodge one week. Ecolodge is high up on a mountainside. There's no air conditioning. If you leave a light on accidentally, it will automatically switch itself off. I liked the outdoor shower but was really puzzled at first when I found there was cold water to wash in. This was because all the water is heated by solar power and when the hot water is finished you just have to wait for the sun to heat up some more!‎ ‎ What did I do there? Well, it's interesting to walk through the forest. You can choose from 13 different well-marked tracks. Each one takes all day and yon do need to be in good shape as the paths aren't always very easy. I also spent time at Ecolodge conservation centre. It supplies Eeolodge with organic food but this is just a small part of what they do. What the centre was built for is to develop green construction techniques and teach local people how to use them. I have to send the magazine another essay — this time on my trip. It needs to be at the magazine by the end of January so it can be in the March edition. I know it'll be online from April, if you want to read it and can't afford to buy a copy.‎ 阅读理解 A篇 ‎21．A 根据第一段“If you can’t remember what I told you last week, how are you going to remember on Christmas Eve?!”可知答案。‎ ‎22．B 根据第二段 “That’s just some guy in a Santa suit,” he said.以及At the mall, we spotted another Santa greeting young believers.

Turning back to me, he shouted. “Now, there’s the real Santa!”可知Mike前后不同的反应导致母亲感到confused.‎ ‎23．D 根据第三段最后一句It was years later when I learned that our special Santa was our neighbor Mr. Mueller.可知答案。‎ B篇 ‎24．C 推理判断题。依据第二段第三句话可知¸狼群嚎叫和人们合唱可能存在的相似之处是都带来归属感。‎ ‎25．D 细节理解题。第二段最后一句说¸Harrington认为这个理论（狼嚎是为了更好地团结在一起）是错误的¸紧接着第三段第一句话说明了他的依据¸实际情况是有时狼嚎之后往往是争吵。‎ ‎26．B 细节理解题。依据第四段内容可知¸很确定的一点是¸很多情况下狼嚎是为了确定伙伴的位置¸以聚集在一起。‎ ‎27．A 句意理解题。依据最后一段内容尤其是第二句可知¸狼嚎具有传染性¸一匹狼吼叫之后其他狼跟着效仿¸于是出现群嚎现象。‎ C篇 ‎28．B 细节理解题。根据第三段的“On the tail of our aircraft, sisters Anna and Elsa celebrate sisterhood and the magic of snow”可知答案。‎ ‎29．D 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Sparkles were added to the paint so that the airplane appears to shine as it moves through the sky．”可知答案。‎ ‎30．D 推理判断题。根据最后两段的内容及文中关键词design和decoration可得出答案。误解分析：倒数第二段中“In the back of the plane, the overhead bins and headrest covers have a cold theme.”表明飞机内饰的主题与寒冷有关，并非里面很冷，所以A项错误：最后一段中“the plane will fly throughout the airline's 737 networks, not only to Orlando”告诉我们，这架飞机航线多达737条，并不仅仅飞往奥兰多，所以B项、C项错误。‎ ‎31．C 推理判断题。文章开篇就谈到了“This will be the only plane girls will want to fly on ever again．”之后在文中具体介绍飞机的外观和内饰，因此文章的目的就是介绍这种新型飞机。‎ D篇 ‎32．C 细节理解题。根据第二段的内容可知是Chloe，也就是Jorja的姐姐发起这项帮助Jorja的活动。‎ ‎33．A 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句话中“who walk。d away with a signed poster of the singer”可知，Taylor Swift送给Jorja的礼物是带有自己签名的海报。误解分析：学生容易误选B选项。由第四段最后一句话可知是Jorja送给Taylor Swift一双UGG的靴子。‎ ‎34．D 推理判断题。第五段对Jorja的情况做了整体介绍，字里行间都体现出Jorja是一个乐观的女孩。“No matter what happens，she smiles and keeps going．”尤其能够体现她的乐观心态。‎ ‎35．B 主旨大意题。文章的主要人物为Taylor Swift和Jorja，主要事件为Jorja参加Taylor Swift的现场演唱会，实现了自己在失聪之前的愿望。‎ 完形填空 本文是描述作者在干冷枯燥的火车上接受了一个陌生小孩的吻，通过这个小故事使作者认识到，人一生中始终要保持快乐。‎ ‎41. B。根据前面的 cold 得出答案“又冷、又疲劳”的旅客。‎ ‎42. C。根据下文，从大人的腿间“挤着往前走(push one’s way是固定短语)”。‎ ‎43. A。根据上文“从大人腿间挤过去”和下文作者让他过去，他给作者一个吻作为谢意来判断，那些大人有些“不友好”。‎ ‎44. C。根据四个选项和句子的意思，只有 chooses 符合句意。‎ ‎45. B。从上文他想从那些不友好的大人的腿间挤过去来判断，小孩的脸是“严肃的”。‎ ‎46. B。根据下文，作者“一下子”想起他想从我这儿“过去”并回到他爸爸跟前。‎ ‎47. D。参考第46题解析的下半句。‎ ‎48. C。从下文的“他想对我说什么来看”可判断是“抬头”倾向作者。‎ ‎49. B。因为我以为他是想对我说什么，所以判断是“信息”。‎ ‎50. A。根据四个选项，在脸颊上亲一个吻应该是“响亮的”，其余选项不符句意。‎ ‎51. B。作者对一个陌生小孩突然吻自己感到“震惊”。‎ ‎52. C。从上下文得知他们都是旅客，互相都不“认识”。‎ ‎53. B。从上文可知“我周围的人也肯定被吻了”。‎ ‎54. B。因为大家对这件事感到惊奇，又因为他是个孩子，所以只能向他爸爸“微笑”，并投去“询问”的目光。‎ ‎55. A。参考54题解析。‎ ‎56. C。从下文“向出口走去”得出答案“消失在人群中”。‎ ‎57. D。根据前后意思得出答案“作者还能感觉到小孩在脸上所留下的吻”。‎ ‎58. A。有多少人会出于活着的快乐，四处去亲吻彼此？‎ ‎59. C。根据上文 being alive 得出答案。有多少人甚至想到过活着的幸运？‎ ‎60. C。根据下文的 your heart stops 来得出答案。‎
