But in February, in Sapporo, Japan, trucks actually bring snow into the city! People shovel the snow into large piles, and these piles of snow become outdoor cafes, concert stages, and beautiful sculptures (雕像).Artists from all over the world come to Sapporos Snow Festival every year to enter the sculpture competition. But the sculptures arent made of stone, metal or wood they are made of snow and ice! Artists sometimes work 11 to 12 hours a day to make amazing sculptures. Many of the sculptures are huge and very detailed. During the day, the sculptures shine in the winter sun. At night, colorful lights shine on them. Millions of people go to see them every year. The Snow Festival had not always been so popular. It started in 1950 as something very small. People in Sapporo wanted to go outside and have fun during the long, boring winter, so the city held a one-day fair in a park. People listened to music and danced. They watched movies and dog races. But some high school students had a great idea and built six large interesting snow sculptures. People really liked the sculptures, and the Snow Festival was born.Five years later, soldiers nearby brought tons of snow into the city. They made the snow into large blocks and used ladders to build huge sculptures. These sculptures were amazing, and the small festival turned into an international event.More than 60 years have passed. Today, the festival is seven days long. Every year, millions of people wear their warmest coats and go outside to celebrate the snow!26 .

No other children ever stayed there. I didnt even have the choice of playing with a brother or sister.I could never understand what the attraction(吸引) of the house was, even for my parents, who enjoyed nothing better than to sit in silence with a good book. The woman in the house, my fathers distant cousin, was a terrible cook and her food wasinedible.One day, when I was wandering around the garden behind the house, I noticed a wooden house which had clearly been abandoned(被遗弃的). As I walked towards it, I heard a noise, like an animal moving hurriedly away. Then I saw a man with a long beard standing at the door. I was greatly surprised.“Please dont tell them you saw me,” he said. “They never use this place, and I have nowhere else to live.” “Dont worry,” I said. “I wont tell anyone. But are you all right out here? I meando you have enough to eat?” The old man shook his head.The same evening, I took a small plastic bag into the dining room and, while no one was looking, emptied some of the food into it. Later, I got out of the back door secretly and gave the food to the old man, whose name I had discovered was Taff.I had never seen anything else as lovely as the smile of satisfaction on Taffs face when he ate the food. From then on, my visits to the old house had a purpose, and I enjoyed every minute of the rest of my stay.29 . （小题1）How did the writer feel about staying in the old house at first?AHe was happy to be with his parents.BHe enjoyed reading good books there.CHe was pleased with the woods.DHe felt very lonely.30 . （小题2）The underlined word “inedible” is closest in meaning to “_”.Atoo bad for him to eatBnice to look atCnot enough to eatDas delicious as usual31 . （小题3）The writer discovered the old man _ the old house.Anear the back door ofBin the dining room ofCin the garden behindDamong the bushes before32 . （小题4）What can we know about the old man from the passage?AHe was poor and hungry.BHe helped to repair the old house.CHe liked to play hide-and-seek with the writer.DHe raised many animals.33 . （小题5）The story mainly tells us _.Aits nice to raise wild animalsBits valuable to help othersCits good to live in the forestDits comfortable to live in the old houseI am a writer, I spend plenty of my time thinking about the power of languagethe way it can evoke（唤起）an emotion, a visual image, a good idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them allAll the English I grew up with.Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, Ive been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English, but feel embarrassed to say that. It has always troubled me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. Ive heard other words used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including peoples understanding of the limited English speaker.I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mothers “limited” English limited my understanding of her. I felt ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly, her thoughts were imperfect. And I had a lot to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at breaks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I wont get into today, I began to write stories using all the English I grew up with: the English my mother used with me, which for lack of a better word might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal（内在的）language, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.34 . By saying“Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that _.Ashe uses English in foreign tradeBshe is fascinated by languageCshe works as a translatorDshe makes a living by writing35 .

Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 3?AAmericans do not understand broken English.BThe author s mother was not treated well sometimes.CThe authors mother had positive influence on her.DBroken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.37 . What is the passage mainly about?AThe changes of the writers attitude to her mothers English.BThe limitation of the writers understanding of her mother.Che writers misunderstanding of “limited” English.DThe writers experiences of using broken English.Which part of the world has the most nearsighted students? Just look around youits East Asia._school leavers in major East Asian cities are nearsighted, according to the BBC. Experts say books and video games are not to blame. East Asian students, they say, arent getting enough sunlight.People become nearsighted because their eyeballs grow out of shape and light entering their eyes cannot focus correctly. The body can produce a chemical called dopamine (多巴胺) to stop eyeballs from changing shape. And guess what scientists have just discovered? Sunlight can help our bodies produce more dopamine, reported AFP. According to the study, primary school students in Singapore spend only 30 minutes outdoors every day; in Australia, by contrast, kids spend about three hours a day outside. As a result, fewer children in Australia are nearsightedonly 10 percent, compared with 90 percent in Singapore.“Children in East Asia basically go to school. go home and stay inside. They study and they watch television,” Ian Morgan of the Australian National University told AFP.But being a bookworm or a couch potato does not directly harm the eyes, added Morgan. “As long as they get outside, it doesnt seem to matter how much study they do,” he explained. “There are some kids who study hard and get outside and play hard and they are generally fine. The ones who are at major risk are the ones who study hard and dont get outside. As a result of massive (巨大的) educational pressures and the construction (构成) of a childs day, the amount of time they spend outside in bright light is minimized.”Experts suggest children should stay outside for two to three hours every day. This can include time spent in the playground and walking to and from school.38 . Which of the word has the similar meaning as the underlined phrase “nine in ten”?AmanyBfewCsomeDmost39 . What is the main reason for the large number of nearsighted students in East Asia, according to scientists?AToo much reading or gaming.BLack（缺少）of sunlight.CGenetic reasons.DLack of exercise.40 . What can we conclude from Paragraph 2?ADopamine is a chemical that causes eyeballs to grow out of shape.BDopamine can stop light entering the eyes from focusing correctly.CSpending time in the sun can make the loss of dopamine in the body.DThe more dopamine a person has in their body, the better eyesight he or she has.41 . According to Morgan, what kind of people are most likely to suffer from nearsightedness?AThose who like watching TV.BThose who take exercise regularly.CThose who study hard and play hard outdoors.DThose who stay indoors studying all day四、单词填空About ten years ago, a very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a neighborhood street. He was going a little too fast in his new Jaguar（美洲虎汽车）.Suddenly a brick hit a new car and b42 . the window. The angry driver jumped out of the car, caught the kid who threw the brick and shouted: “What are you doing? Thats a new car and. that brick you threw is going to c43 . a lot of money. Why did you do it?”“Im sorry for breaking your new car, but I didnt know what else to do,” the young boy apologized. “I threw the brick b44 . no one else would stop!”With tears on his face the little boy said: “Its my older brother. He fell out of his wheelchair（轮椅）. Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? Hes too h45 . for me to lift him up.” The driver was greatly moved. He quickly lifted the handicapped（残疾的）boy back into the wheelchair and checked to see that he was going to be all right “You are a nice man. Thank you,” the little child said.The businessman watched the little boy push the wheelchair down the sidewalk t46 . their home. It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar.After that, he kept the hole in his window to make him n47 . forget this message “Dont go through life” so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention.The world sends a message and speaks to our hearts: We all have the c48 . to listenor wait for the brick!五、多任务混合问题Rich or poor, young or old, we all have problems. 45).
