1．4 Popular Places to Go This Winter Harbin，China
China Harbin's winter is for the brave ones-the average temperature is 1.8°F- but those who brave the cold will be rewarded with experiencing one of the world's largest winter festivals.2021 marks the 37th 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，F(xiàn)rance
Paris may be called The City of Light，but every December，light takes center stage in Lyon，F(xiàn)rance's third-largest city.That's when the annual Festival of Lights（around December 8）takes over，with light installations（裝置）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 the Place Carnot；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 1980s，and you'll understand why Lima should no longer be ignored this winter.
Vermont，US
Winter in Vermont means skiing and snowboarding，Many resorts（度假勝地）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greatly upgraded their snowmaking abilities as part of a ＄15 million statewide program that replaced many outdated snow guns with new，low-energy models.These new machines will also improve the quality of snow surfaces and lengthen the season，meaning this will be one of the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.

A．They are decorated with lights.
B．They offer snow sculptures.

2．I've worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer since I graduated from high school，but making the transition （轉(zhuǎn)變） between school and full time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier.For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be uncivilized，getting to a factory by 6 o'clock each morning is torture.My friends never seem to understand why I'm so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation.
There're few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world.People my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge.In fact，all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine I ran in the plant，which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down.
The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight.Issues like downsizing （裁員） and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico，where people would work for 60 cents an hour.
After working 12-hour shifts in a factory，the other options have become only too clear.When I'm back at the university，skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school.All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale now ring true.
These lessons I'm learning，however valuable，are always tinged（帶有）with sense of guilt.Many people pass their lives in the places where I briefly work，spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time. "This job pays well，but it's hell on the body，" said one co-worker. "Study hard and keep reading，" she added.
My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good.
（1）How did the author look back on his summer days while at college？
A．They brought him nothing but torture.

（2）What does the author say about college students？
A．They expect too much from the real world.
B．They have little interest in blue-collar life.
C．They think too highly of themselves.
D．They are confident of their future.
（3）What，according to the author，is most frustrating for blue-collar workers？
A．They do not have job security.
B．They do not get decent pay.
C．They have to work 12-hour shifts.
D．They have to move from place to place.
（4）In what important way has the author's work experience changed him？
A．He learned to be more practical.
B．He acquired a sense of urgency.
C．He came to respect blue-collar workers.
D．He came to appreciate his college education.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.6 -
3．President Coolidge's statement，"The business of America is business，" still points to an important truth today-that business institutions have more prestige （威望） in American society than any other kind of organization，including the government.Why do business institutions possess this great prestige？
One reason is that Americans view business as being more firmly based on the ideal of competition than other institutions in society.Since competition is seen as the major source of progress and prosperity by most Americans，competitive business institutions are respected.Competition is not only good in itself，it is the means by which other basic American values such as individual freedom，equality of opportunity，and hard work are protected.
Competition protects the freedom of the individual by ensuring that there is no monopoly（壟斷）of power.In contrast to one，all-powerful government，many businesses compete against each other for profits.Theoretically，if one business tries to take unfair advantage of its customers，it will lose to competing business which treats its customers more fairly.Where many businesses compete for the customers' dollar，they cannot afford to treat them like inferiors or slaves.
A contrast is often made between business，which is competitive，and government，which is a monopoly.Because business is competitive，many Americans believe that it is more supportive of freedom than government，even though government leaders are elected by the people and business leaders are not.Many Americans believe，then，that competition is as important，or even more important，than democracy in preserving freedom.
Competition in business is also believed to strengthen the ideal of equality of opportunity.Competition is seen as an open and fair race where success goes to the swiftest person regardless of his or her social class background.Competitive success is commonly seen as the American alternative to social rank based on family background.Business is therefore viewed as and expression of the idea of equality of opportunity rather than the aristocratic（貴族的） idea of inherited privilege.
（1）The statement "The business of America is business" probably means.
A．America is a great power in world business
B．Business is of primary concern to Americans
C．The business institutions in America are concerned with commerce
D．Business problems are of great importance to the American government
（2）Americans believe that they can realize their personal values only.
A．by protecting their individual freedom
B．when given equality of opportunity
C．by way of competition
D．through doing business
（3）Who can benefit from business competition？
A．People with ideals of equality and freedom.
B．Both business institutions and government.
C．Honest businessmen.
D．Both businessmen and their customers.
（4）It can be inferred from the passage that the author believes.
A．in many countries success often depends on one's social status
B．businesses in other countries are not as competitive as those in America
C．Americans are more ambitious than people in other countries
D．American businesses are more democratic than those in other countries組卷：1引用：1難度：0.6

9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫(xiě)兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Two men，both seriously ill，occupied the same hospital room.One man called Ben was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.His bed was next to the room's only window.The other man，Leo，had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours on end.They spoke of their wives and families，their homes，their jobs，their involvement in the military service，where they had been on vacation.
And every afternoon when Ben sat up，he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.Leo began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and lightened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats.Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow.Grand old trees graced the landscape，and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.As Ben described all this in exquisite detail，Leo would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon Ben sat up with his elbows and described a parade（巡游）passing by.Although Leo couldn't hear the band-he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.Each time the nurse saw the warm and touching scene，she was always struck by devoted friendship between these two men.Days and weeks passed.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
One morning，the nurse arrived to check the two men，only to find the lifeless body of Ben.__________
However，he could see nothing but a blank wall of another building.__________組卷：0引用：2難度：0.6
