After the fires, everyone goes home to watch Aramtaskaup, a TV show that has been running on 31 December since 1966. But that doesnt mean the party is over just before midnight, they all come back out to let off an astonishing amount of fireworks, with profits to go to Icelandic Association for Search and Rescue, which does lifesaving work, and is run by volunteers and is a cause close to most Icelanders hearts.Book it.

On average, children in prams breathe at a height of about 0.85 metres, meaning they are exposed to about 60 percent more pollution than adults.On top of this, particle pollution is more dangerous to babies than adults, says Jonathan Griggs at Queen Mary University of London, who was not involved in the study. Babies breathe faster than adults and they are easily hurt for the effects of pollution because the protective mechanisms in their lungs are not yet fully developed, he says.When choosing the best pram for defending against pollution, the weather is also a factor. Hot summer air concentrates pollution close to the ground, making seat height particularly important. But when the air is cold, the heat from car exhausts (排气管) causes dangerous particles higher in the air, after which they fall. In these cases, prams with some kind of covering can help protect children from pollution falling down on them from above.“There are very few existing studies to draw conclusive evidence on which pram design is best，”says Prashant Kumar, who led the research. So far he is only able to identify broad things to look for in a pram. In the future, it may be possible to purchase addon air filter (过滤器) systems for prams. One currently in development is called Brizi, which consists of a flat headrest with wings on either side of the babys head. Air is sucked in on one side, cleaned, and blown out the other, creating a bubble of slightly higher air pressure, which keeps out particles.“Designing better prams is only a temporary solution to dealing with pollution itself，” says Griggs,“Its certainly cautious not to stick your child next to an exhaust pipe, and most importantly, reduce emissions on roads.”语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，高而有顶的婴儿车有助于保护婴儿，使婴儿免受空气污染的影响。3One of the research findings is that high prams with coverings are _.Amore convenient to pushBhelpful in blocking sunshineCgood for protecting babies headsDeffective to protect babies from pollution解析：选D细节理解题。根据第一段的内容可知，高而有顶的婴儿车在某种程度上可以防止婴儿受到微粒污染的影响，故选D。4.

I have a problem. I have to provide my younger sister Alice and myself with meat. Fish, nuts, and vegetables are good and necessary, but they dont provide enough fuel for the hard physical work we do. Although we have venison (鹿肉) now, I cant always count on getting it. So far this year, our venison has been only roadkill from in front of Mrs. Strawberrys farm.I decide to take the longest way home, down the flood plain of the West Branch of Delaware to Spillkill, my own name for a fast stream that cascades (倾泻) down the south face of the mountain range Im on. I need time to think. Perhaps Alice and I should be like the early Eskimos. We should walk, camp and hunt, and when the seasons change, walk on to new food sources. But I love my tree and my mountaintop.Another solution would be to become farmers, like the people of the Iroquois Confederacy who once lived here. They settled in villages and planted corn and squash (瓜类蔬菜), bush beans and berries. We already grow groundnuts in the damp soil and squash in the poor land. But the Iroquois also hunted game. I cant do that anymore.Im back where I started from.Slowly I climb the Spillkill. As I hop from rock to rock beneath shady basswoods and hemlocks, I hear the cry of the redtailed hawk who nests on the mountain crest. I am reminded of Frightful and my heart aches. I can almost hear her call my name, cree, cree, cree, carree.Maybe I can get her back if I beg the man who is in charge of the peregrines (游隼) at the university. “But its the law，”he would say. I could write to the president of the United States and ask him to make an exception for Alice and me. That wont work. The president swore to uphold the Constitution (宪法) and laws of the United States when he took office. I climb on. I must stop thinking about the impossible and solve the problem of what to do now. I must find a new way to provide for us. Frightful is going to be in good hands at the university, and she will have young.I smile at the thought of little Frightfuls and lift my reluctant feet. When I am far above the river, I take off my clothes and moccasins (莫卡辛软皮鞋) and bathe in a deep, clear pool until I am refreshed and thinking more clearly. Climbing up the bank, I dress and sit down. I breathe deeply the mountain air and try to solve my problem more realistically.语篇解读：本文是一篇文学作品节选。文章展现了作者从一开始过桥时默默对自己说话、想起朋友曾说过的话，到走最远的路回家途中对自己和妹妹生活方式的思考，再到爬山时又想起了失去的猎鹰Frightful以及思考一些不可能的事情，最后决定更现实地解决自己和妹妹的生活问题这一系列细微的心理活动。6.

But a convention of publishing seems to require that the candle should be there, and I am proud to be the one to hold it. About ten years ago I picked up from the pile of new books on my desk a copy of Sons and Lovers by a man of whom I had never heard, and I started to race through it with the immoral speed of the professional reviewer. But after a page or two I found myself reading, really reading. Here was here is a masterpiece in which every sentence counts, a book packed with significant thought and beautiful, arresting phrases, the work of a remarkable genius whose gifts are more richly various than those of any other young English novelist.To appreciate the rich variety of Mr Lawrence we must read his later novels and his volumes of poetry. But Sons and Lovers reveals the range of his typical power. Here are combined and blended (混合的) sort of “realism” and almost lyric (抒情的) imagery and rhythm. The speech of the people is that of daily life and the things that happen to them are normal adventures and accidents; they fall in love, marry, work, fail, succeed, and die. But of their deeper emotions and of the relations of these little human beings to the earth and to the stars, Mr Lawrence makes something near to poetry and prose (散文) without violating its proper “other harmony”Take the marvellous paragraph on next to the last page of Sons and Lovers (Mr Lawrence depends so little on plot in the ordinary sense of the word that it is perfectly fair to read the end of his book first)：Where was he? One tiny upright speck of flesh, less than an ear of wheat lost in the field. He could not bear it. On every side the immense dark silence seemed pressing him, so tiny a spark, into extinction, and yet, almost nothing, he could not be extinct. Night, in which everything was lost, went reaching out, beyond stars and sun, stars and sun, a few bright grains, went spinning round for terror, and holding each other in embrace, there in the darkness that outpassed them all, and left them tiny and daunted (气馁). So much, and himself, infinitesimal, at the core a nothingness, and yet not nothing.Such glorious writing lifts the book far above a novel which is merely a story. I beg the reader to attend to every line of it and not to miss a single one of the many sentences that await and surprise you. Some are enthusiastic and impressive, like the paragraph above; others are keen, “realistic” observations of things and people. In one of his books Mr Lawrence makes a character say, or think, that life is“mixed”. That indicates his philosophy and his method. He blends the accurately literal and trivial (琐碎的) with the extremely poetic.To find a similar blending of tiny daily detail and wide imaginative vision, we must go back to two older novelists, Hardy and Meredith. I do not mean that Mr Lawrence derives (源于) directly from them or, indeed, that he is clearly the disciple (弟子) of any master. I do feel simply that he is of the elder stature (名望) of Hardy and Meredith, and I know of no other young novelist who is quite worthy of their company. When I first tried to express this comparison, this connection, I was contradicted by a fellow critic, who pointed out that Meredith and Hardy are entirely unlike each other and that therefore Mr Lawrence cannot resemble both. To be sure, nothing is more hateful than forced comparisons, nothing more boring than to discover parallels between one work of art and another. An artists mastery consists in his difference from other masters. But to refer a young man of genius to an older one, at the same time pronouncing his independence and originality, is a fair, if not very superior, method of praising him.语篇解读：作者通过讲述自己读儿子与情人这部小说的经历的感受，介绍了劳伦斯的写作风格。10The underlined word “superfluous” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.Ameaningful BunnecessaryCfundamental Dfashionable解析：选B词义猜测题。根据第一段第一句“An introduction to this book is as superfluous as a candle in front of a powerful searchlight.”可知这本书的引言如同在强光探照灯前的蜡烛一样多余。所以superfluous的意思是“过多的；不必要的”。11What is typical of Lawrences works?AThey equally reveal his genius power.BThey contain lots of great lyric poetry.CThey present some real living situations.DThey focus on relations between humans.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段第四句“The speech of the people is that of daily life
