Escaping the stress of work and social worries and finding yourself in a winter wonderland is a magical feeling. Try to make any J these destinations your target and you' 11 be happy that you did
1. Harbin city, China
Come and enjoy one of the most memorable Ice and Snow Festival during winter. Harbin City's snow festival draws a huge crowd because tourists want to feast their eyes of the well-known splendid ice structures. These structures are the biggest ice structures you will find nowhere in the world and they get mono beautiful at night when they are lighted up by diverse colored lights. Plus, you can go ice-skating under the beautiful Chinese lights.
2. Ohrid, Macedonia
Ohrid might be everyone’s summer fantasy for sunbathing and swimming but have you thought about the picturesque view of its location in the winter? This peaceful little lakeside town looks charming with snow-covered cobblestones on the narrow walks. There is nothing as good as finding a Macedonian breakfast with some strong local coffee.
3. Svalbard,Norway
Polar hears love this location probably because of its arctic qualities. Here you can find wildlife and several ancient mining towns which collectively make the group of neighboring islands a beautiful sight. However, in winter, a beauty of nature described as the Polar Night takes place here, making it the most-favored destination worldwide. The sun doesn't set and leaves a blue twilight in the sky, coloring the nearby snow-capped mountains.

22. What attracts tourists most to visit Svalbard?

Smooth halls of ice rolled ashore on a beach in Finland and piled up like a huge bunch of turtles' eggs. But where did these \"ice eggs\" come from?
Amateur photographer Risto Mattila stumbled upon the strange sight while walking with his wife on Hailuoto Island. The temperature remained around minus I degree Celsius that day, he said, and the wind blew quickly across the beach. \"There, we found this amazing phenomenon. There was snow and ice eggs along the beach near the water line\".
The \"ice eggs\" littered an area the length of about one-quarter of a football field and ranged in size from that of an average chicken egg to that of a powerful soccer hall. Mattila took a photo, noting that he had \"never seen anything like this during 25 years around here.” Others came upon the ice eggs, too. \"I’ve never seen this before. The whole beach was almost full of these ice halls,\" said Tarja Terentjeff, who lives in the nearby town of Oulu. Another local, Sirpa Tero, told CNN she'd seen snowballs line the shoreline before, \"but not over such a large area.\"
\"Although it happens once in a blue moon, these ice eggs form similarly to sea glass or rounded stones that wash up on the beach,\" said BBC Weather expert George Goodfellow. Chunks(块)of ice break off from larger ice sheets in the sea and either slide to shore on the incoming tide,get pushed in by strong spells of wind at the water's surface, he explained. Waves buffet(冲击)the ice chunks as they travel, slowly eroding their rough edges into smooth curves. Seawater sticks and freezes to the forming eggs, causing them to grow like snowballs do as they roll across the ground, leaving behind nothing but smooth and shiny \"eggs\" for curious tourists to happen upon.
24. The underlined phrase \"stumbled upon\" in Paragraph 2 can he best replaced by . A. pulled through B. survived from C. ran across D. took notes of 25. What can we know from Paragraph 3?
A. It was a very unusual phenomenon. B. Ice eggs gathered in a football field. C. Only a quarter of the area was stricken. D. The beach was completely ice-covered. 26. According to Goodfellow, how did the \"ice eggs\" cone into being? A. By means of sea water buffeting the wood chunks. B. On the basis of the strong force J the cold wind. C. By way of the special location and cold weather. D. Through a rare combination of weather and waves. 27. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. An extraordinary trip of \"ice eggs\". B. The power of wind and seawater. C. A strange weather-based occurrence. D. How snowball affected the shoreline.
C
You can take fish oil. You can invest in a language class, or some hours of exercise every week. There are countless ways to improve your memory and cognitive functioning(认知功能). You know, the brain-training industry is expected to reach $ 8 billion by 2022. But the cheapest, easiest, and most time-tested way to sharpen your brain is right in front of your face. That's why moms are always on their kids' cases to turn off the TV and pick up a good book. But there's something astonishing about how it can make it.
The most basic effect occurs in the area associated with language reception. Processing written material——from the letters to the words to the sentences to the stories themselves—takes your attention to interpret the information. Typically, when you read, you have more time to think,judge and even criticize. And the very nature of such an ordinary activity
encourages the brain to work harder and better, deepening your understanding of your course and your future career.
And the benefits of reading continue long after you've put down that great book. It is clarified that some of those benefits last for five days. We call that a shadow activity, almost like a muscle memory——that means, even if you are a retired sportsman now, some skills can still be stored in your memory. That means the language part of the brain would get a workout from reading.
What if you are a poor, or even a dyslexic, reader who feels as if you'll never be able to read enough to get these benefits? A book can fix that problem too! According to a study, one hundred hours of remedial(补救的)reading classes significantly improved the quality of the brains' white matter, where information is processed. So turn off your phone and your computer, set aside a good hour or two——and just read on a regular basis. 28. The text is mainly written to .
A. show the power of knowledge B. persuade people to read regularly C. clarify the benefits of good hooks D. introduce how to improve memory 29. What does the underlined \"such an ordinary activity\" in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Judging. B. Thinking. C. learning. D. Reading. 30. What does the third paragraph suggest?
A. Reading has a long-time influence. B. Books are needed if you want to graduate. C. The retired sportsmen have good memories. D. Reading a lot is beneficial to one's muscles. 31. For whom is the text mainly intended?
A. Parents. B. Office workers. C. College students. D. University graduates.
D
Can't you stand the sound of heavy breathing or sipping soup? Does the sound of someone chewing gum next to you make your blood boil? You are not alone, but you are not going crazy—there's
a really scientific reason why.
If you shrink back when someone twists their knuckles(指关节), you might want to get checked out for misophonia, a brain abnormality that creates \"a hatred of sounds such as eating, chewing, loud breathing, or even pen-clicking,\" TIME reports. Actually, it' s just one of the strange habits that prove you're smarter than everyone else. Although researchers first coined the term misophonia in 2001, doubt has been thrown on it by the medical community. But thanks to recent research, it can be safely drawn that everyday noises can ruin people's lives. A team at Newcastle University in the U. K. examined MRI brain scans(核磁共振脑扫描) of those with and without misophonia while playing a range of sounds. The sounds were either neutral(like rain or water boiling), unpleasant (a baby crying or a person screaming), or trigger sounds (the sounds of breathing or eating).
The researchers noted significant changes in misophonia sufferers' brain activity when they heard a \"trigger sound.\" Turns out, those with misophonia have a developmental difference in their brains frontal lobe(额叶)that causes their brains to react harshly to those triggers. It also causes them to sweat and their heart rates to increase.
\"For many people with misophonia, this will come as welcome news as for the first time we have shown a difference in brain structure and function in sufferers,\" said Dr Sukhbinder Kumar. \"This study shows the critical brain changes as further evidence to convince a skeptical medical community that this is a real disorder.\" 32. What is the best title for the text?
A. Keep off such sounds around you B. Troubled by the sound of chewing C. Can we make use of these sounds D. Never be afraid of such noise again 33. What can be inferred from the second paragraph? A. Misophonia can be a sign of intelligence. B. Misophonia is actually a physical disability. C. The teen misophonia has been widely accepted.
D. Noise pollution has ruined many lives until now. 34. What does Kumar think of the research?
A. Cold. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Neutral. 35. Where is the text most probably taken from?
A. A guidebook. B. A review. C. A magazine. D. An interview. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Get along with your roommate
While sharing a dorm with someone else is challenging, it can also be a great part of your learning experience.
◆Clarify your expectations from the beginning. Do you know in advance that the alarm clock bothers you every morning? 36 Let your roommate know about your habits and preferences. Communicating what you need is one of the best ways to remove problems before they become problems.
Address problems when they' re little. 37 Are your clothes being borrowed faster than you can wash them? Addressing things that disturb you while they’re still little can help your roommate realize something is wrong. And it is much easier than addressing them after they’ve become big.
◆ 38 This may seem simple, but it's probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflict. Don't you think he'll mind if you borrow his sneakers for a game? Don't borrow, use, or take anything without getting permission first.
◆Be open to new things. Your roommate may be from someplace you've never heard of. They may have a religion or lifestyle that is completely different from your own. Be open to new ideas and experiences, especially as it relates to what your roommate brings into your life. 39
◆Stay open to change. You should expect to learn and grow and change during your time at school. And the same should happen to your roommate. 40 Be comfortable addressing things
that unexpectedly come up, setting new rules, and being flexible to your changing environment. A. Respect your roommate’s stuff.
B. Find a solution that works for both of you.
C. That’s why you went to school in the first place, right? D. You may love having your study group into your room.
E. As the semester progresses, realize things will change for both of you. F. Is your roommate always forgetting her stuff for the shower, and taking yours? G. That you need ten minutes to yourself before talking to anyone after you wake up? 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)

Last year I happened to make some woolen blankets. While the frost hit, I handed it out to fellow homeless people. It was a brief experience and positive. Throughout the winter, I made about dozens people’s mornings with a clean new blanket. Yesterday, around a year later, I saw a homeless person walked down the street aimless with one of those blankets. I'm sure I’ve ever seen him before so that blanket went on a journey and is still providing a comfort to someone else. Now I' m not homeless anymore, and thinking of that really brighten my day. I just wish I have some more wool now. 第二节 书面表达(满分25分)
