pay a visit to some of the most amazing and unusual places in the world，from icy hotels to temples on the side of cliffs（悬崖）Hotel de GlaceCanadaIf you dont mind the cold，this igloo（冰屋） style hotel is certainly for youNearly everything，including the bedding，is made of ice!This hotel is so well insulated（隔热） that whatever the temperature outside is，the temperature inside never changes more than a few degreesIts around 23degrees to be exactSince it is made of ice the hotel does have some dress requirements that can be found on their websiteArctic sleeping bags are provided for every guest，including childrenFor more information，visit the website：The Tigers Nest MonasteryBhutanBuilt directly onto a cliff side，this ancient temple has claimed its spot since 1692Rich in history，Tigers Nest is constructed around eight attractive caves on the mountainsideMost of the caves are easy to reach through the natural rock stairwaysHowever，some are more difficult，and can only be reached by shaky rope bridgesVisit the website Dinosaur Provincial ParkCanadaKnown to be one the greatest fossil locations in the world，Dinosaur Provincial Park has nearly 500specimens （标本） in all shapes and sizesThe park itself has a vast collection of fossils and a unique natural ecosystemFor more information，please visit http:/tpralbertaca/parks/dinosaur/indexaspxLeshan Giant BuddhaSichuan ChinaThe

onApolitics Benvironment CeducationDtravelDtravel41（12.5分）As demand for power and fuel grows steadily in the coming decades，we must consider every possible energy source on hand if were to meet the worlds needsAnd because clean natural gas is found in great plenty，there is little doubt that it will play a major role on the world energy stage in this century，much like oil did in the lastBut，like oil，gas reserves are concentrated in just a few places in the world，usually far from where theyre needed mostAnd thats only part of the challengeThe world has had well over 100years to search for oil and to build the necessary facilities to bring it to market； the natural gas facilities，particularly when it comes to liquefied（液化）natural gas（LNG），are not nearly as developedSo what needs to be done？On the supply side，producing nations need policies that allow for better development of their natural gas in an open，stable business environment，not one in which the rules of the game change without warningThe governments of consuming nations，on the other hand，must make policies for sustainable（可持续的）development to ensure theyll have enough supplies in the futureThat means building the related facilities，including LNG stationsThis，in turn，will require coastal areas to allow these necessary，but not necessarily pretty，facilities to be built in their backyardsAnd energy companies have a responsibility to be good neighbors in those areas by operating these facilities responsibly and safelyThey must also continue to put in the billions of dollars needed to build the complex transport and storage facilities required to bring more gas to marketExpanding and diversifying（使多样化）energy sources by using more natural gas could lead to lower fuel prices and to greater energy securityWeve taken some of the steps to get started，but we need your help to get the rest of the way41Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？AGas played a major part in the 20th centuryBGas reserves are widely spread around the worldCNatural gas facilities are far from satisfactoryDNecessary facilities are ready to bring gas to market42The underlined wordone（in Paragraph 2）refers toAa gas supply side Ba policy for gas developmentCa gas consuming nation Da business environment43Consuming nations of natural gas need toAhave longterm policies for gas supply Bopen markets in their backyardsCbuild pretty facilities along the coast Dchange the rules of the game44The main purpose of the passage is toAwarn people of the lack of power and fuelBdiscuss the importance of oil and natural gasCinstruct people how to make use of energy sourcesDcall for better use and development of natural gas45The passage might be followed by a paragraph aboutAwhich countries are in great need of gas Bwhere energy sources are concentratedCwhat kind of help you can offer Dwhat problems of energy sources we may face46（12.5分）I carry a Rubiks Cube （魔方） in my backpackSolving it quickly is a terrific conversation starterI usually ask people to try it firstThey just turn the cube over in their hands，not even knowing where to beginThats exactly what it was like for me to learn how to readLetters and words were out of orderNothing made sense because I am dyslexicThe Rubiks Cube has made me believe that sometimes you have to take a few steps back in order to move forwardThis was a reflection of my own life when I had to leave public school after the fourth gradeIts embarrassing to admit，but I still couldnt always spell my full name correctlyAs a fifthgrader at a new school specializing in whats calledlanguageprocessing disorder，I had to start overI then spent the next four years learning how to learn and find strategies that allowed me to return to my districts high school with the ability to communicate my ideas and express my intelligenceNow，I can easily solve the 555I discover that just before it is solved，a problem can look like a mess，and then suddenly you can find the solutionEarly in my Rubiks career，I became so frustrated that I took the cube apart and rebuilt itI believe that sometimes you have to look deeper and find answers in unexpected placesThe Rubiks cube taught me that to accomplish something big，it helps to break it down into small piecesI learned that its important to spend a lot of time thinking，to try to find connections and patternsI believe that there are surprises around the cornerLike life itself，the Rubiks cube can be frustrating puzzleSo everyday I carry a Rubiks cube in my backpack as a reminder that I can achieve my goals，no matter what obstacles I face46The author took the Rubiks Cube apart becauseAhe couldnt work out how to solve it Bhe hated it and wanted to destroyed itChe wanted to learn how to rebuild itDhe was eager to find the connections47The underlined worddyslexicin Paragraph 1probably means a person who has trouble withArememberingBreadingCspeakingDlistening48Why did the author leave the public school？AHe had to take steps back in order to relearn the basic things at another schoolBHe was so crazy about the Rubiks Cube that he wanted to solve it firstCHis interest shifted to learning how to communicate with other peopleDHe was afraid to go to the public school because he could not spell his name49The author carries a Rubiks Cube in his backpack toAstart conversations with strangersBcompete with othersCtake it apart and rebuild itDencourage him to succeed50Which would be the best title for the text？AUnforgettable Lessons About Life BApproaches to Solving the Rubiks CubeCAccomplishing Big Things in Small Stages DSurprises Around the Corner51（12.5分）From now on，never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomingsInstead，realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were bornOnly you have the power to make those seeds growThe seeds，and the power to grow them，are contained in the most awesome machine ever created：the human mindSuccess is a choice and not a chanceYou were born a winnerYou were born richYou can be a success if only you make the right choiceYou cannot be successful without first developing your selfesteemYour level of selfesteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself，and thus over your lifePeople with low selfesteem are people who do not believe that they have any power，or responsibility for their livesThey are the perennial（长期的） victims and martyrs（殉道者）They are leaves tossed（摇摆） by the winds of chance blown about with any

what we choose to think and believeOne generally rises to the level that one expectsWe are responsible for setting our expectationsOur success is dependent upon our level of confidenceIf you associate

victory，born from setbacksIn short，in all areas of your life，whether they be financial，physical，emotional，or spiritual，you are responsibleOnce you recognize this，accept it，and firmly believe it，you
