Four Beautiful Places for a Winter Snow Holiday
It’s never too early to start thinking about snowy escapes, and now is the perfect time to start thinking about a winter snow holiday. Here are our picks of snowy places to visit this winter.
Swiss Alps, Switzerland
For a memorable snowy escape, head to Switzerland where the amazing Alps await. With snow-covered forests, icy peaks and shining lakes, this is a breathtaking place to take in the season. One of the best ways to experience the Swiss Alps in winter is with a ride on the Glacier Express, the iconic red train known as one of the slowest express trains.
Prague, Czech Republic
If you’re looking for a festive getaway, Prague is your place. While snowfall can be unpredictable, the Christmas spirit is unmatched. Browsing the Christmas markets is a must, where you can pick up some traditional gifts and handicrafts from brightly decorated wooden stands.
Lapland, Sweden
A place worth mentioning twice, Lapland really is a snow holiday dream. For starters, it’s home to an unusual hotel where you can sleep on a bed made of ice. The hotel is constructed entirely out of, you guessed it, ice! It’s also the location of the Abisko National Park, known as one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights.
Lofoten, Norway
The Lofoten islands come into their own in winter. With much fewer people around, it’s a great time of year to experience the fishing villages at their most authentic. There’s plenty going on, too. Take a wildlife and nature trip to experience impressive landscape and birdlife and join in a Northern Lights hunt after the sunsets.
1. Where can tourists check into an ice hotel
A. In Swiss Alps, Switzerland. B. In Lapland, Sweden.
C. In Prague, Czech Republic. D. In Lofoten, Norway.
2. What is a special way to enjoy the views of Swiss Alps

“Lives of great men all remind us that we can make our lives sublime (崇高的)” is a line from A Psalm of Life (《人生颂》) that Chen Lin read in a Learn video when he was 96 years old.
With a “life is to give, not to take” attitude, Chen Lin devoted his life to the development of foreign language education in China.
Born in 1922, Chen worked in foreign education for more than 70 years. In 1950, he started teaching at Beijing Foreign Studies University. At the university, Chen was known for his nickname of “Three UP Professor”, since he always insisted on “standing up” and “speaking up” when teaching. Also, when class was over, he would instantly “shut up”.
In the 1980s, in most English classes, teachers did most of the speaking, while students mostly only listened. But Chen encouraged students to speak and practice more. Outside of class, Chen still tried his best to popularize English among common people. In 1981, he took part in the TV program Follow Me (《跟我学》) and taught people English in a fun way, which started a craze for learning English.
In 1999, Chen led experts to develop English curriculum standards (课程标准). Before that, English teaching goals from primary to university were not connected. But the standards changed the situation, making English education work like “one package”.
To help students learn English more effectively, Chen advised providing suitable English-learning material for students at different levels. “I have been a teacher all my life, and I want to be an English teacher again in my next life.” Chen said.
“I think there is no more noble profession than to teach and make students useful to the people.”

Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put the vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios. Now, anyone with a camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people communicating with their fans about everyday lives.
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame and money. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him.
28. Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers
A. Because vloggers can earn little fame and money on the Internet.
B. Because there is too much competition in the traditional show business.
C. Because the Internet makes it convenient to become vloggers.
D. Because anyone with a camera will surely become a star.
29. What can we infer from the fifth paragraph
A. Only a few vloggers can be successful.
B. A vlogger cannot earn fame or money.
C. People seldom see the bright side of being a vlogger.
D. Dreams will always remain to be dreams.
30. What do young people like David do on the Internet
A. Learn from others. B. Become an online hit.
C. Hold running races. D. Mix jobs with hobbies.
31. What is the passage mainly about
A. Most Britons choose to be vloggers as their jobs now.
B. The Internet is influencing young Britons’career choice.
C. The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.
D. Young Britons cannot find jobs without the Internet.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了现在英国年轻人的职业倾向发生了改变。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way. (他们使接触世界上的观众容易许多，不用非要用传统的方式进入表演行业。)”可知，越来越多的英国年轻人选择成为视频博主的原因是网络进入表演行业更加方便，故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段中“For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. (对于每一个成功者来说，都有另外数百个人从来没有离开过起跑线。)”可知，从事视频博主的人的成功率只有几百分之一，说明只有很少的视频博主能够获得名声和财富，故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him. (例如，年轻的以色列人大卫·勒肖经营着一家名为“终结者俱乐部”的企业。这是一个在线平台，供跑步者记录他们的比赛。他的工作使他能够表达自己的热情，并且始终是一种学习经历。这对他来说已经足够了。)”可知，David就是一个选择将职业和爱好相结合的例子，故选D项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中“But today, things stand differently. (但是现在，事情不同了。)”和第三段中“This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. (这种改变无疑是网络和社交媒体结果。)”可知，现在英国年轻人的职业倾向的改变是因为网络和社交媒体，所以本文主要以现在互联网影响着英国年轻人的职业选择展开，故选B项。
D
Three minutes of looking at red light once a week may help our eyesight, new research suggests. The findings show that red light might be a cheap and easy treatment for declines (衰退) in color vision (视力) as we get older.
Last year, researchers from University College London did a study on red light therapy (疗法). 24 healthy volunteers, aged between 28 and 72, were asked to look at red light for three minutes every day for two weeks. Tests later found that the eyesight of people over the age of 40 improved.
To test the possible weak points of their therapy, they did a new study this year. Instead of using the light every day, they used it once a week. The new study included 20 volunteers, aged between 34 and 70,all with healthy vision. Some received red light therapy in the morning, and others received it in the afternoon. They were then tested on their color vision up to a week later.
On the whole, those who got the treatment in the morning showed a 17% improvement in their color vision, even a week later. Those who got the treatment in the afternoon did not have any improvement.
“We’ve found that one single treatment in the morning can greatly improve declining vision.” said lead author Glen Jeffrey.
The findings do support their earlier work, and they might make the treatment more practicable, since a once-weekly treatment is easier to stick to than a daily one. But the team’s promising results are still drawn on small numbers of healthy volunteers Larger studies would be needed to show the help of red light therapy.
“In the near future, a once-a-week three-minute treatment could be done while making a coffee or listening to a song, and such a simple thing could change eye care and vision around the world,” Jeffrey said.
Given its low cost (as little as $15) per machine, and simplicity, the team is excited about the future of their therapy.
32. What plays a key role in red light treatment
A. The time of day for treatment B. The machine used in the treatment.
C. The time that one treatment lasts. D. The number of treatments received.
33. What makes it necessary to improve the study
A. The age of the volunteers. B. The number of the volunteers.
C. The sex of the volunteers. D. The poor vision of the volunteers.
34. What is Jeffrey’s attitude towards the future of the therapy
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Serious. D. Hopeful.
35. What is the purpose of this text
A. To state the importance of eye care.
B. To explain the value of deep red light.
C. To introduce a way to fight vision decline.
D. To encourage people to protect their eyesight.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了研究发现可以利用红光疗法来治疗色觉下降。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The new study included 20 volunteers, aged between 34 and 70, all with healthy vision. Some received red light therapy in the morning, and others received it in the afternoon. They were then tested on their color vision up to a week later.(这项新研究包括20名年龄在34岁到70岁之间的志愿者，他们都有健康的视力。一些人在早上接受红光治疗，另一些人在下午接受。然后在一周后测试他们的色觉)”以及第四段“On the whole, those who got the treatment in the morning showed a 17% improvement in their color vision, even a week later. Those who got the treatment in the afternoon did not have any improvement.(总的来说，那些在早上接受治疗的人，即使在一周后，他们的色觉也提高了17%。那些在下午接受治疗的人没有任何改善)”可知，研究表明在上午接受红光治疗的志愿者一周后色觉有明显改善，而在下午接受治疗的则没有任何改善。所以在红光疗法中起着关键作用是一天中治疗的时间段。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“But the team’s promising results are still drawn on small numbers of healthy volunteers. Larger studies would be needed to show the benefits of red light therapy.(但该团队的研究结果仍依赖于小部分健康志愿者。需要更大规模的研究来证明红光疗法的好处)”可知，还需要更多的志愿者来证明红光疗法的好处。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““In the near future, a once-a-week three-minute exposure to deep red light could be done while making a coffee or listening to a song, and such a simple thing could change eye care and vision around the world,” Jeffrey said.(Jeffrey说道：“在不久的将来，每周一次三分钟的深红光治疗可以在煮咖啡或听歌曲时完成，这样简单的事情可以改变全世界的眼睛保健和视力。”)”可推知，Jeffrey对红光治疗的未来充满了希望。故选D。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The findings show that red light might be a cheap and easy treatment for declines in color vision as we get older.(研究结果表明，随着年龄的增长，红光可能是一种廉价而简单的治疗色觉下降的方法。)”以及通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了研究发现可以利用红光疗法来治疗色觉下降。所以本文的目的是介绍一种对抗视力下降的方法。故选C。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。
Alice was a senior high school student who lived at home with her parents rather than living in the school dorm. Every day, her mom Coco would nag (唠叨) her a lot, and this had lasted for years.
In the morning, before Alice went to school, Coco would stand by the door and say, “Alice, don’t use your phone when the teacher is talking.” When Alice came back home after school, Coco would keep asking, “Did you make any new friends at school Getting along well with your classmates is really important.” Sometimes, she would also say, “Tell me something interesting that happened at school today.”
At first, Alice tried to listen patiently. But as time went by, she got more and more tired of Coco’s nagging. She often thought, “Mom talks too much. I wish I could go to a university in another city. That way, she won’t nag me all the time.”
Two years later, Alice’s dream came true. She was admitted to a university far away from home. However, one month before she left, Coco started nagging again, this time about her college life.“Remember to wash your clothes regularly in college. Study hard but also take care of your health,” Coco would repeat every day. Alice felt even more annoyed. When the day came for her to leave home, she was very happy, thinking she would finally be free from her mom’s nagging.
But things didn’t go as Alice expected at college. One roommate liked to stay up late watching movies, and the other often left her things everywhere. Alice didn’t know how to get along with them. Besides, she had no idea how to manage her spare time meaningfully. She didn’t have many friends there. Her heart was brimming with a feeling of being alone.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文：
One evening, Alice found herself missing mom’s words she used to hate. She picked up her phone to call Coco. As soon as Coco answered, she said softly, “Mom, I miss your nagging. My roommates are difficult to get along with, and I don’t know how to manage my time.” Coco listened patiently and gave gentle advice: “Try talking to your roommates nicely about your sleep schedule, and also, join a club to make friends.” She also reminded Alice to eat healthy and get enough sleep. Alice nodded repeatedly, tears welling up in her eyes. For the first time, she felt the warmth of her mom’s words.
Alice felt much better after talking to her mom on the phone. She followed Coco’s suggestions. She had a calm chat with her roommates, and they agreed to respect each other’s habits to create a more harmonious atmosphere. She also joined a book club, where she met some like-minded classmates. Gradually, she no longer felt like a stranger in the new city. From then on, whenever she faced troubles, she’d call her mom, no longer feeling annoyed by the nagging. Instead, she knew it was the most precious gift her mom could give — a love that followed her, even from far away.

Four Beautiful Places for a Winter Snow Holiday
It’s never too early to start thinking about snowy escapes, and now is the perfect time to start thinking about a winter snow holiday. Here are our picks of snowy places to visit this winter.
Swiss Alps, Switzerland
For a memorable snowy escape, head to Switzerland where the amazing Alps await. With snow-covered forests, icy peaks and shining lakes, this is a breathtaking place to take in the season. One of the best ways to experience the Swiss Alps in winter is with a ride on the Glacier Express, the iconic red train known as one of the slowest express trains.
Prague, Czech Republic
If you’re looking for a festive getaway, Prague is your place. While snowfall can be unpredictable, the Christmas spirit is unmatched. Browsing the Christmas markets is a must, where you can pick up some traditional gifts and handicrafts from brightly decorated wooden stands.
Lapland, Sweden
A place worth mentioning twice, Lapland really is a snow holiday dream. For starters, it’s home to an unusual hotel where you can sleep on a bed made of ice. The hotel is constructed entirely out of, you guessed it, ice! It’s also the location of the Abisko National Park, known as one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights.
Lofoten, Norway
The Lofoten islands come into their own in winter. With much fewer people around, it’s a great time of year to experience the fishing villages at their most authentic. There’s plenty going on, too. Take a wildlife and nature trip to experience impressive landscape and birdlife and join in a Northern Lights hunt after the sunsets.
1. Where can tourists check into an ice hotel
A. In Swiss Alps, Switzerland. B. In Lapland, Sweden.
C. In Prague, Czech Republic. D. In Lofoten, Norway.
2. What is a special way to enjoy the views of Swiss Alps
A. Exploring fishing villages. B. Visiting Christmas markets.
C. Taking the Glacier Express. D. Hunting for Northern Lights.
3. What do Lapland, Sweden and Lofoten, Norway have in common
A. They organize wildlife trips. B. They host Christmas-themed activities.
C. They are not hot winter holiday attractions. D. They offer chances to see the Northern Lights.
B
“Lives of great men all remind us that we can make our lives sublime (崇高的)” is a line from A Psalm of Life (《人生颂》) that Chen Lin read in a Learn video when he was 96 years old.
With a “life is to give, not to take” attitude, Chen Lin devoted his life to the development of foreign language education in China.
Born in 1922, Chen worked in foreign education for more than 70 years. In 1950, he started teaching at Beijing Foreign Studies University. At the university, Chen was known for his nickname of “Three UP Professor”, since he always insisted on “standing up” and “speaking up” when teaching. Also, when class was over, he would instantly “shut up”.
In the 1980s, in most English classes, teachers did most of the speaking, while students mostly only listened. But Chen encouraged students to speak and practice more. Outside of class, Chen still tried his best to popularize English among common people. In 1981, he took part in the TV program Follow Me (《跟我学》) and taught people English in a fun way, which started a craze for learning English.
In 1999, Chen led experts to develop English curriculum standards (课程标准). Before that, English teaching goals from primary to university were not connected. But the standards changed the situation, making English education work like “one package”.
To help students learn English more effectively, Chen advised providing suitable English-learning material for students at different levels. “I have been a teacher all my life, and I want to be an English teacher again in my next life.” Chen said.
“I think there is no more noble profession than to teach and make students useful to the people.”
24. What can we know according to the passage
A. Chen Lin was the leading expert in developing English curriculum standards.
B. Most teachers encouraged students to speak and practice more in the 1980s.
C. Chen Lin was famous for his attitude toward life.
D. Chen Lin created Follow Me alone to encourage students to learn English.
25. Why did Chen Lin teach people English in the TV program Follow Me
A. To become more famous in China. B. To make English popular among common people.
C. To encourage more people to attend his class. D. To show his fun way of teaching English.
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Chen Lin decided to teach English again.
B. Chen Lin thought only teaching was a noble profession.
C. Chen Lin was proud of being an English teacher.
D. Chen Lin hoped more people could become English teachers.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Chen Lin
A. Humorous and generous. B. Devoted and enthusiastic.
C. Intelligent and independent. D. Energetic and honest.
C
Twenty-five years ago, most young Britons wanted a career in law, to be a doctor, or, if they were creative enough, to take up singing. But today, things stand differently.
According to a survey by Tesco Mobile, a UK company, the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger, or “vlogger”. The survey, carried out among 1,002 people, found that as much as 40 percent of them put the vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.
This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media. They have made it so much easier to reach audience of the world, without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.
In the past, the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios. Now, anyone with a camera can become a star. Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people communicating with their fans about everyday lives.
However, what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame and money. For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line. There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.
Although being vloggers is popular, some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame, but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies. Young Israeli David Leshaw, for example, runs a business called the Finishers Club. It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races. His job allows him to express his enthusiasm, and is always a learning experience. And that’s enough for him.
28. Why do more and more young Britons choose to be vloggers
A. Because vloggers can earn little fame and money on the Internet.
B. Because there is too much competition in the traditional show business.
C. Because the Internet makes it convenient to become vloggers.
D. Because anyone with a camera will surely become a star.
29. What can we infer from the fifth paragraph
A. Only a few vloggers can be successful.
B. A vlogger cannot earn fame or money.
C. People seldom see the bright side of being a vlogger.
D. Dreams will always remain to be dreams.
30. What do young people like David do on the Internet
A. Learn from others. B. Become an online hit.
C. Hold running races. D. Mix jobs with hobbies.
31. What is the passage mainly about
A. Most Britons choose to be vloggers as their jobs now.
B. The Internet is influencing young Britons’career choice.
C. The Internet is taking the place of traditional studios.
D. Young Britons cannot find jobs without the Internet.
D
Three minutes of looking at red light once a week may help our eyesight, new research suggests. The findings show that red light might be a cheap and easy treatment for declines (衰退) in color vision (视力) as we get older.
Last year, researchers from University College London did a study on red light therapy (疗法). 24 healthy volunteers, aged between 28 and 72, were asked to look at red light for three minutes every day for two weeks. Tests later found that the eyesight of people over the age of 40 improved.
To test the possible weak points of their therapy, they did a new study this year. Instead of using the light every day, they used it once a week. The new study included 20 volunteers, aged between 34 and 70,all with healthy vision. Some received red light therapy in the morning, and others received it in the afternoon. They were then tested on their color vision up to a week later.
On the whole, those who got the treatment in the morning showed a 17% improvement in their color vision, even a week later. Those who got the treatment in the afternoon did not have any improvement.
“We’ve found that one single treatment in the morning can greatly improve declining vision.” said lead author Glen Jeffrey.
The findings do support their earlier work, and they might make the treatment more practicable, since a once-weekly treatment is easier to stick to than a daily one. But the team’s promising results are still drawn on small numbers of healthy volunteers Larger studies would be needed to show the help of red light therapy.
“In the near future, a once-a-week three-minute treatment could be done while making a coffee or listening to a song, and such a simple thing could change eye care and vision around the world,” Jeffrey said.
Given its low cost (as little as $15) per machine, and simplicity, the team is excited about the future of their therapy.
32. What plays a key role in red light treatment
A. The time of day for treatment B. The machine used in the treatment.
C. The time that one treatment lasts. D. The number of treatments received.
33. What makes it necessary to improve the study
A. The age of the volunteers. B. The number of the volunteers.
C. The sex of the volunteers. D. The poor vision of the volunteers.
34. What is Jeffrey’s attitude towards the future of the therapy
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Serious. D. Hopeful.
35. What is the purpose of this text
A. To state the importance of eye care.
B. To explain the value of deep red light.
C. To introduce a way to fight vision decline.
D. To encourage people to protect their eyesight.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。
Alice was a senior high school student who lived at home with her parents rather than living in the school dorm. Every day, her mom Coco would nag (唠叨) her a lot, and this had lasted for years.
In the morning, before Alice went to school, Coco would stand by the door and say, “Alice, don’t use your phone when the teacher is talking.” When Alice came back home after school, Coco would keep asking, “Did you make any new friends at school Getting along well with your classmates is really important.” Sometimes, she would also say, “Tell me something interesting that happened at school today.”
At first, Alice tried to listen patiently. But as time went by, she got more and more tired of Coco’s nagging. She often thought, “Mom talks too much. I wish I could go to a university in another city. That way, she won’t nag me all the time.”
Two years later, Alice’s dream came true. She was admitted to a university far away from home. However, one month before she left, Coco started nagging again, this time about her college life.“Remember to wash your clothes regularly in college. Study hard but also take care of your health,” Coco would repeat every day. Alice felt even more annoyed. When the day came for her to leave home, she was very happy, thinking she would finally be free from her mom’s nagging.
But things didn’t go as Alice expected at college. One roommate liked to stay up late watching movies, and the other often left her things everywhere. Alice didn’t know how to get along with them. Besides, she had no idea how to manage her spare time meaningfully. She didn’t have many friends there. Her heart was brimming with a feeling of being alone.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；
