after all, the swiss, austrians and canadians dont have such problems. it is simply because there is not enough planning and preparation. we need money to buy equipment to deal with snow and ice. to keep the roads clear, for example, requires snow ploughs and machines to spread salt. the reason why a country like britain does not buy some ploughs is that they are only used for a few days in any one year, and the money could be more useful in other things such as hospitals, education or helping the old.42. according to the writer, britain is a country_.a. which has regular snow b. which is not well prepared for snowc. for which snow is not a problem d. for which snow is a wonder43. the arrival of snow in britain affects all of the following except_a. traffic b. communication c. food supplies d. service quality44. after a few hours snowing there are often shortages of food because_a. shops have closed down b. people buy as much as they canc. farmers cant produce any more d. people eat more vegetables in winter 45. the first reason that the british dont buy snow ploughs is that_a. spreading salt is good enough b. old people need more moneyc. snow ploughs are not used often d. the hospital is more important四、词汇运用（共l0小题；每小题l分，计l0分）根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词）46. the workers told the police their _(老板) name.47. in his _, he passed away peacefully in his dream(九十).48. the kids couldnt stop _ when they saw their favourite disney characters (尖叫).49. the foreign visitors _ come from north america (大部分).50. the door is wide enough for three people to walk _ at the same time (通过).51. i wonder how much a panda usually _ (weight) when it is born.52. tom is such a _ boy that he always tells a lie when he makes a mistake (honest).53. the neighbours lost _ (they) in the strange city.54. the plan they are talking about _(need) improving.55. he had his computer _(fix) shortly after it broke down.五、任务型阅读 （共10空；每空1分，计10分）阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词） the slender west lake scenic spot lies in the northwestern part of yangzhou, with its south gate facing great rainbow bridge road. it covers an area of about 123.6 hectares. the slender west lake was named a national key scenic spot in 1988 and national aaaaa tourist area in 2010. the slender west lake used to be a long river named the baozhang lake, which is 4 kilometers in length and less than 100 meters in width. a famous poet wang hang in the qing dynasty once composed a poem (诗歌), from which the slender west lake gets its present name and to which it owes its great fame (名声) both at home and abroad. during the sui and tang dynasties, many gardens were built along the slender west lake. following the lines of the natural landscape, a large number of buildings along the moats were constructed(建造) in different locations during different periods. emperors kangxi and qianlong of the qing dynasty both visited the slender west lake. the slender west lake scenic spot is an outstanding representative (代表) of the lake gardens in china. in a word, the slender west lake not only represents the beauty of natural landscape, but also embodies (体现) the richness of its history and culture. the slender west lakelocationl the slender west lake, about 123.6 hectares in _56_, lies in the _57_ of yangzhou, whose south gate _58_ great rainbow bridge road. namel it used to be a long river _59_ the baozhang lake.l it gets its _60_ name from a poem and becomes _61_ both at home and abroad. _62_l many gardens were built along the lake during the sui and tang dynasties. l more buildings appeared along the moats during different periods. l emperors kangxi and qianlong both _63_ to the slender west lake. featuresl it _64_ the lines of the natural landscape and creates the unique beauty for the slender west lake. l it also contains rich historical and _65_ meaning which attracts a lot of tourists. 六、缺词填空（共10空；每空1分，计10分）根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词）the pig that dares to dreamthe best-loved pig in hong kong is called mcdull. his mom makes a wish that he will lo
