【分析】本文是一篇应用文，主要向读者介绍了在冬天的时候非常适合前往游玩的几个

有名的地方，并对每个地方的特色进行了说明。

【解答】(1)A.推理判断题。根据第一、二段Thisyearmarksthe32ndHarbinInternational

IceandSnowSculptureFestival(January-March),whenmassivefrozenstructuresriseand

arelitup,transformingthecityintoawinterwonderland.今年是第32届哈尔滨国际冰雪雕

塑节(1-3月)，巨大的冰冻建筑拔地而起，点亮灯光，将哈尔滨变成冬季的仙境；Thafs

whentheannualFestivalofLights(December5-8)takesover,withmorethan70light

installationsthattransformthecity'sstreetscapesintomodemworksofart.每年的灯会(12月

5日至8日)就在那时举行，70多个灯会将城市的街景变成了现代艺术作品。可知，哈

尔滨和里昂的特点是都会用灯来对其进行装饰，故选A。

(2)B.细节理解题。根据第二段ThecityisalsohometotwoChristmasmarkets(onein

LaCroix-Rousse；theotheratPlaceCarton；throughDecember25).这座城市还有两个圣

诞集市(一个在拉克罗瓦罗西，另一个在PlaceCarton,一直到12月25日)。可知，在

里昂购买圣诞礼物是非常棒的，因为它有圣诞集市，故选B。

(3)D.细节理解题。根据最后一段Thisyear,manyresortshavegreatlyupgradedtheir

snowmakingabilitiesaspartofa$15millionstatewideprogramthatreplacedmanyoutdated

snowgunswithnew,low-energymodels.今年，作为一项耗资1500万美元的全州计划的

一部分，许多度假胜地已经大大提升了自己的造雪能力，该计划用新的低能耗车型取代

了许多过时的雪枪。可知，在Vermont,一些长时间未更新的设备得到了升级为崭新的设

备，故选D。

【点评】阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事

件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，
