Skiing in Switzerland: The Complete Guide
Switzerland, as the first place in Europe to develop winter tourism, has a long skiing tradition. A long ski season, excellent snow conditions, and large skiing areas make Switzerland a perfect destination for skiers from around the world.
Where to Ski as a Beginner
Saas-Fee: You can find plenty of English-speaking ski schools in Saas-Fee and lots of bunny slopes(初学者滑雪道) on which to master your turns. The beginner ski area is separate, so you can practice without getting in the way of other skiers.
Grindelwald: Grindelwald is a great choice for those looking for a kid-friendly skiing experience. There are plenty of ski schools and several bunny slopes, such as the Bodmi practice area, which is fit for children. Once you’re ready to head up the mountain, about 30 percent of Grindelwald’s runs are rated blue, meaning they’re on the easier side.
Summer Skiing
Zermatt is home to the Theodul Glacier(冰川) where it’s winter year-round. With 13 miles (21 kilometers) of runs, it’s the largest summer ski area in Europe and attracts professional skiers looking to train year-round. The glacier slopes here offer attractive views and allow skiers to get a close look at the Matterhorn.
Budget Travel Tips
Avoid the busiest time of year: Visit during the start or end of the ski season. Accommodation and lift pass prices are often higher over the winter holidays.
Prepare your own meals: By renting a small apartment or home with kitchen facilities, you can save on dining costs by cooking your own meals.
Enjoy the snow without skiing every day: Ice skating, winter hiking, and just having a snowball fight are all more affordable ways to enjoy the Swiss winter landscape.
1. What makes Switzerland a perfect destination for skiers
A. Its long skiing tradition. B. its well-developed tourism.
C. Its unique natural conditions. D. Its convenient location in Europe.
2. What do Saas-Fee and Grindelwald have in common
A. Having many ski schools. B. Offering kid-friendly slopes.
C. Separating skiers of different levels. D. Giving skiers a close Matterhorn view.
3 What is recommended to save money during the trip
A. Avoiding taking the lift. B. Eating at local restaurants.
C. Heading to smaller skiing areas. D. Choosing the skiing low season.
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文，提供了在瑞士滑雪的完整指南。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A long ski season, excellent snow conditions, and large skiing areas make Switzerland a perfect destination for skiers from around the world.(漫长的滑雪季节、良好的雪况和广阔的滑雪区使瑞士成为世界各地滑雪者的完美目的地。)”可知，漫长的滑雪季节、良好的雪况和广阔的滑雪区，这些都使瑞士具有独一无二的自然条件，让瑞士成为滑雪者的完美目的地。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Saas-Fee”后面的“You can find plenty of English-speaking ski schools in Saas-Fee and lots of bunny slopes(初学者滑雪道) on which to master your turns. (你可以在Saa-Fee找到很多滑雪英语学校，还有很多可以掌握转弯的初学者滑雪道。)”和“Grindelwald”后面的“There are plenty of ski schools and several bunny slopes, such as the Bodmi practice area, which is fit for children.(这里有很多滑雪学校和几个初学者滑雪道，比如适合孩子们的Bodmi练习区。)”可知，Saas-Fee和Grindelwald都有许多滑雪学校。故选A。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Budget Travel Tips”下面的“Avoid the busiest time of year: Visit during the start or end of the ski season.(避开一年中最繁忙的时间：在滑雪季节开始或结束时参观。)”可知，选择在滑雪淡季去旅行可以省钱。故选D。

What is the place of art in a culture of inattention Recent visitors to the Louvre report that tourists can now spend only a minute in front of the Mona Lisa before being asked to move on. Much of that time, for some of them, is spent taking photographs not even of the painting but of themselves with the painting in the background.
One view is that we have made tourism and gallery-going so easy that we have made it effectively impossible to appreciate what we’ve travelled to see. In this society, experience becomes goods like any other. There are queues to climb Everest as well as to see famous paintings. Thus, leisure is considered as hard labour rather than relaxation.
In the rapidly developing society, what gets lost is the quality of looking. Consider an extreme example, the late philosopher Richard Wollheim. When he visited the Louvre he could spend as much as four hours sitting before a painting. The first hour, he claimed, was necessary for incorrect impression to be removed. It was only then that the picture would begin to disclose itself. This seems unthinkable today, but it is still possible to organise. Even in the busiest museums there are many rooms and many pictures worth hours of contemplation (沉思) which the crowds largely ignore.
Marcel Proust, another lover of the Louvre, wrote: “It is only through art that we can escape from ourselves and know how another person sees a universe which is not the same as our own and whose landscapes would otherwise have remained as unknown as any there may be on the moon.” If any art remains worth seeing, it must lead us to such escapes. But a minute in front of a painting in a hurried, harried (烦扰) crowd won’t do that.
4. Why does the author mention the example in Louvre in Paragraph 1
A. To express his concern about Louvre. B. To report the popularity of Mona Lisa.
C. To introduce a good place to take photos. D. To show a disappointing current situation.
5. Which of the following will Richard Wollheim agree
A. People need to clear up their misunderstanding of paintings.
B. People have to stay at least 4 hours when appreciating paintings.
C. It is impossible for modern people to admire paintings attentively.
D. The longer one admires the paintings, the more unlikely he loves them.
6. What role does art play in our life according to Marcel Proust
A. Art is of help for us to accept ourselves better.
B. Art makes our life more colourful and meaningful.
C. Art allows us to know the world in the view of others.
D. Art pushes us away from ourselves and explores the moon.
7. Which is the best title of the passage
A. Into art attentively. B. Escape from ourselves.
C. Beyond art completely. D. Go to the museums often.
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是在快速发展的社会中，游客们不能集中注意力很好地欣赏艺术品，而艺术是需要专心欣赏的。
4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Recent visitors to the Louvre report that tourists can now spend only a minute in front of the Mona Lisa before being asked to move on. Much of that time, for some of them, is spent taking photographs not even of the painting but of themselves with the painting in the background.(最近参观卢浮宫的游客报告说，游客现在只能在《蒙娜丽莎》面前呆上一分钟，然后就会被要求离开。对他们中的一些人来说，大部分时间都花在拍照上，甚至不是为这幅画拍照，而是以这幅画为背景给自己拍照。)”和第二段“One view is that we have made tourism and gallery-going so easy that we have made it effectively impossible to appreciate what we’ve travelled to see.(一种观点是，我们让旅游和参观画廊变得如此容易，以至于我们实际上不可能欣赏我们旅行所看到的东西。)”可知，作者在第一段提到卢浮宫的例子是为了展示艺术欣赏令人失望的现状。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When he visited the Louvre he could spend as much as four hours sitting before a painting. The first hour, he claimed, was necessary for incorrect impression to be removed. It was only then that the picture would begin to disclose itself. This seems unthinkable today, but it is still possible to organise.(当他参观卢浮宫时，他可以在一幅画前坐上四个小时之久。他说，第一个小时是消除错误印象所必需的。只有到那时，情况才开始显露出来。这在今天看来是不可想象的，但仍有可能组织起来。)”可知，Richard Wollheim认为第一个小时是消除对艺术作品错误印象所必需的行为，可得出他可能会同意的是人们需要澄清对绘画的误解。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“It is only through art that we can escape from ourselves and know how another person sees a universe which is not the same as our own and whose landscapes would otherwise have remained as unknown as any there may be on the moon.(只有通过艺术，我们才能逃离自我，才能知道另一个人是如何看待一个与我们自己不同的宇宙的，如果没有艺术，这个宇宙的风景就会像月球上的风景一样未知。)”可知，Marcel Proust认为艺术在我们的生活中让我们从别人的角度去认识世界。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“What is the place of art in a culture of inattention Recent visitors to the Louvre report that tourists can now spend only a minute in front of the Mona Lisa before being asked to move on.(在一个注意力不集中的文化中，艺术的位置是什么？最近参观卢浮宫的游客报告说，游客现在只能在《蒙娜丽莎》面前呆上一分钟，然后就会被要求离开。)”，第二段“One view is that we have made tourism and gallery-going so easy that we have made it effectively impossible to appreciate what we’ve travelled to see.(一种观点是，我们让旅游和参观画廊变得如此容易，以至于我们实际上不可能欣赏我们旅行所看到的东西。)”和倒数第二段“Even in the busiest museums there are many rooms and many pictures worth hours of contemplation (沉思) which the crowds largely ignore.(即使在最繁忙的博物馆里，也有许多值得人们沉思数小时的房间和许多画作，而这些都被人们忽略了。)”可知，本文主要讲的是在快速发展的社会中，游客们不能集中注意力很好地欣赏艺术品，而艺术是需要专心欣赏的，因此最好的题目是A选项“Into art attentively.(用心投入艺术。)”。故选A。
C
In Singapore, authorities are looking at the possibility of digging deeper underground to create new space for human activity. The demand for underground lighting is therefore expected to rise in the future. Fortunately, a team of Nanyang Technological University (NTU) researchers has designed a “smart” device to harvest daylight and relay it to underground spaces, trimming the need to draw on traditional energy sources for lighting.
To develop the daylight harvesting device that can sustainably handle the problem, the NTU team drew inspiration from the magnifying (放大) glass, which can be used to focus sunlight into one point. The device sits above ground and just like the lens of a magnifying glass, the acrylic ball acts as the solar concentrator, enabling the sun’s rays to form a sharp focus at its opposite side. The focused sunlight is then collected into one end of a fiber cable (电缆) and transported along it to the end that is fixed underground.
As the sun moves across the sky throughout the day, so will the position of the focused sunlight inside the acrylic ball. To ensure that maximum sunlight is being collected and transported down the fiber cable throughout the day, the system uses a computer chip-based mechanism to track the sun’s rays. The Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates of the device location are preloaded into the system, allowing it to determine the spot where maximum sunlight should be focused at any given time. Two small motors assisted by computer chips are then used to adjust the position of the fiber to catch and transport sunlight from the focused spot.
Assistant Professor Yoo Seongwoo, lead author of the study said, “Our innovation is made of commercially available off-the-shelf materials, making it potentially very easy to produce at scale. We have intentionally designed the device to be lightweight and compact, which makes it convenient for our device to be combined with existing facilities in the urban environment.”
Moreover, the NTU researchers found the device’s luminous (发光的) efficiency far exceeds that of commercially available LED bulbs recorded in experiments. The quality of the light output of the NTU smart device is also comparable with current commercially available daylight harvesting systems which are far more costly.
8. What does the underlined word in Paragraph I mean
A. Meeting. B. Reducing. C. Emphasizing. D. Feeling.
9. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The inspiration for the daylight harvesting device.
B. The right locations to fix the daylight harvesting device.
C. The working principle of the daylight harvesting device.
D. The purpose of developing the daylight harvesting device.
10. What’s the function of the computer chip-based mechanism
A. Collecting sunlight and transporting it to the fiber cable.
B. Adjusting the position of the fiber cable automatically.
C. Determining the location of the device.
D. Searching for maximum sunlight.
11. What can we know about the daylight harvesting device
A. It is far more efficient than other daylight harvesting devices.
B. It costs much less than other daylight harvesting devices.
C. It will gradually replace existing facilities.
D. It’s easily available on the market.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文阐述了新加坡南洋理工大学的一个研究小组设计了一种智能设备，这种设备可以采光并将其传输到地下空间。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第一段“Fortunately, a team of Nanyang Technological University（NTU）researchers has designed a “smart” device to harvest daylight and relay it to underground spaces (幸运的是，南洋理工大学的一个研究小组设计了一种智能设备，采光并将其传输到地下空间)”可知，这个新设备收集阳光来提供地下空间的照明，可推知，划线词所在句的意思为“减少了利用传统能源进行照明的需要”；划线词“trimming”的意思为“减少”。因此，第一段中带下划线的“trimming”一词意思是B项“Reducing (减少)”符合题意。故选B。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“To develop the daylight harvesting device that can sustainably handle the problem, the NTU team drew inspiration from the magnifying (放大) glass, which can be used to focus sunlight into one point. The device sits above ground and just like the lens of a magnifying glass, the acrylic ball acts as the solar concentrator, enabling the sun’s rays to form a sharp focus at its opposite side. The focused sunlight is then collected into one end of a fiber cable (电缆) and transported along it to the end that is fixed underground.(为了开发能够持续解决这一问题的日光收集装置，南洋理工大学团队从放大镜中汲取灵感，这种放大镜可以将阳光聚焦到一个点上。该装置位于地面之上，就像放大镜的透镜一样，丙烯酸球充当太阳能集中器，使太阳光线在其另一侧形成锐利的焦点。聚焦的阳光随后被收集到光纤电缆的一端，并沿着它输送到固定在地下的一端)”可知，本段首先阐述了南洋理工大学团队从放大镜中汲取了灵感，接着详细叙述了这个设备的工作原理。因此，第二段的主要内容C项“The working principle of the daylight harvesting device. (采光装置的工作原理)”符合题意。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To ensure that maximum sunlight is being collected and transported down the fiber cable throughout the day, the system uses a computer chip-based mechanism to track the sun’s rays.(为了确保全天最大限度的阳光通过光缆被收集和传输，该系统使用了一种基于计算机芯片的机制跟踪太阳光线)”可知，这种基于计算机芯片的机制的功能是追踪光线。因此，基于计算机芯片的机制的功能是D项“Searching for maximum sunlight. (最大限度地追踪光线)”符合题意。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Our innovation is made of commercially available off-the-shelf materials, making it potentially very easy to produce at scale.(我们的创新是由市售的现成材料制成的，这使得它很容易大规模生产)”可推知，这个新设备的成本比其他现有设备的成本低。因此，关于采光装置，我们能了解到B项“It costs much less than other daylight harvesting devices. (它的成本比其他采光设备低得多)”符合题意。故选B。

How to stop procrastinating (拖延) and make a start
Procrastinating is as much about fear as it is about motivation. Perhaps you have avoided paying bill, outlining a proposal or asking someone out. ____12____ Fortunately, here are four tips to get you moving again.
Little steps for big tasks.
Most procrastinators tell themselves, “I’ll wait until I’m in the mood.” Let’s face it; you’re never going to feel like balancing your cheque-book or cleaning up the mess on your desk. These are boring, unpleasant tasks. ____13____ One way to do this is to break your job into steps that can be accomplished bit by bit.
____14____
Those who procrastinate often assume that successful people achieve their goals without frustration, self-doubt and failure. This is unrealistic. Highly productive people know that life is frustrating. They assume they’ll encounter obstacles; when they do, they persevere until they overcome them.
Tune out negative thoughts.
When you’re avoiding a task, it may be because you’re feeding yourself unrealistic, negative messages. ____15____ Once you change your negative thoughts, energy returns.
Give yourself credit.
____16____ But if you never allow yourself to feel satisfied with your efforts, you’ll soon find it pointless to try. So, no matter how small the achievement is, give yourself credit. Then you can tackle your toughest task.
However, if you are sure that there are good reasons why you avoid doing something, you may need to re-evaluate your goals.
A. Never give up.
B. Expect difficulties.
C. Sometimes you simply have to get yourself going.
D. We usually think of rewards as coming from the outside,
E. By writing them down, you have a chance of ridding them.
F. Be here now, and don’t worry about things you have to do in the future.
G. Whatever the thing, putting it off often becomes a bigger problem than actually doing it.
【答案】12. G 13. C 14. B 15. E 16. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍如何停止拖延症并开始采取行动。
【12题详解】
首段为总起段，功能为引入话题。由空前一句话“Procrastinating is as much about fear as it is about motivation. Perhaps you have avoided paying bill, outlining a proposal or asking someone out.(拖延与动机有关，也与恐惧有关。也许你们避免了付账单，也避免了提出建议或约人出去。)”可知，这里列举了有拖延症的人可能会出现的行为，而G项Whatever the thing, putting it off often becomes a bigger problem than actually doing it.(不管是什么事情，拖延往往会比实际做更大的问题。)符合语境，其 putting it off 与上文Procrastinating对应，且引出下文的解决方案，有承上启下作用。故选G项。
【13题详解】
根据本段的小标题“Little steps for big tasks (大事化小)”可知，本段的内容围绕把一个整体任务拆分为若干步骤来完成展开，由空前“Most procrastinators tell themselves, ‘I’ll wait until I’m in the mood.’ Let’s face it; you’re never going to feel like balancing your cheque-book or cleaning up the mess on your desk. These are boring, unpleasant tasks.(大多数拖延者告诉自己，“我会等到我有心情的时候。”让我们面对现实吧；你永远不会想平衡你的支票簿或收拾你桌子上的烂摊子。这些都是枯燥乏味的任务。)”可知，这里通过举例子的方式来告诉读者，“等有心情的时候再做”是不会实现的，因为这些都是很无聊的、不令人愉悦的任务，而C项Sometimes you simply have to get yourself going.(有时你只需要让自己做起来。)符合语境，有承上作用，且其中get yourself going与后文this对应，也有启下作用。故选C项。
【14题详解】
空格处为段落小标题。根据段落内容“Those who procrastinate often assume that successful people achieve their goals without frustration, self-doubt and failure. This is unrealistic. Highly productive people know that life is frustrating. They assume they’ll encounter obstacles; when they do, they persevere until they overcome them. (那些拖延的人往往认为成功的人在没有挫折、自我怀疑和失败的情况下实现了他们的目标。这是不现实的。高效的人知道生活是令人沮丧的。他们认为自己会遇到障碍；当他们做到这一点时，他们会坚持不懈，直到克服它们。)”可知，本段主要讲有拖延症的人通常认为那些成功的人在达到目标的过程中是没有挫折、自我怀疑和失败的。而文章进一步告诉读者这是不现实的。所以B项Expect difficulties.(期待困难)符合语境，对本段有总括作用。故选B项。
【15题详解】
根据本段小标题“Tune out negative thoughts (排除消极的想法)”可知，本段的内容围绕避免负面思想对完成任务的干扰展开，第一句话“When you’re avoiding a task, it may be because you’re feeding yourself unrealistic, negative messages. (当你逃避一项任务时，可能是因为你在给自己灌输不切实际的负面信息。)”可知，这里分析了不切实际的负面信息可能是你拖延的原因，因此推知本空应该解决这一问题的办法，而E项By writing them down, you have a chance of ridding them. (把它们写下来，你就有机会摆脱它们。)符合语境，为处理负面思想的办法。故选E项。
【16题详解】
根据本段的小标题“Give yourself credit (表扬自己)”可知，本段的内容围绕进行自我肯定展开。本空为段首句，空后有转折连词“but”，故需要根据后面的内容进行反推。由空后句子“But if you never allow yourself to feel satisfied with your efforts, you’ll soon find it pointless to try. So, no matter how small the achievement is, give yourself credit. Then you can tackle your toughest task(但是，如果你从不让自己对自己的努力感到满意，你很快就会发现尝试毫无意义。所以，无论成就有多小，都要相信自己。然后你就可以完成最艰巨的任务)”可知，来自内在的肯定是对自己最大的奖励，所以D项We usually think of rewards as coming from the outside (我们通常认为奖励来自外部)符合语境，与后文构成转折关系。故选D项。

【答案】Advantages and disadvantages of using a translation pen
Recently, our class discussed the advantages and disadvantages of using translator pens.
Some students prefer translator pens. They think the translator pen brings great convenience to their study. As long as they come across the English texts that they do not understand, the translation pen can quickly translate for them. However, there are still some students who object to the use of translator pens. They think that the translator pen makes them lazier, making them not good at thinking. In addition, the translator pen is sometimes too stiff, which is not conducive to their flexible understanding.
Personally, I advocate avoiding the use of translator pens as much as possible and actively thinking, looking up dictionaries, or discussing with teachers when problems arise.

Tom’s love for soccer ran deep, and he played the game with a passion that was infectious (有感染力的) to everyone around him. But there was one thing that upset him-his worn-out soccer shoes. These shoes had been passed down to him by his older brother, and they were falling apart. With his birthday drawing near, Tom secretly wished for a new pair of soccer shoes to lift his spirits so that he could have a good performance in the game. However, he was well aware of his parents’ constant struggles to make ends meet and knew that such a wish might remain a dream forever.
One sunny afternoon, Tom and his best friend, David, were at school, watching an exciting soccer match. The exciting run and shout, the determination on the athletes’ faces, and their fine equipment were enough to make anyone’s heart race. It was at this moment that Tom said about his biggest birthday wish. He took a long deep breath and said, “How I wish I could have a new pair of soccer shoes for my birthday, but I know it’s impossible.”
David, sitting beside him, couldn’t help but overhear Tom’s words. The idea of helping his best friend achieve this long-held dream began to form in his mind. After school, David ran home and couldn’t wait to share the idea with his mother.
“Mom, I really want to do this for Tom. He’s been playing with those old shoes for so long. It would mean the world to him,” David explained seriously.
His mother smiled warmly, proud of her son’s compassion (同情) . “David, it’s a wonderful idea. It’s not just about the gift; it’s about the thought and effort you’re putting into making Tom’s day special.”
As David thought about how to earn the money, his mother suggested, “You know, David, there are various ways you can earn some extra money to save for the soccer shoes. Many of our neighbors are looking for someone to help with lawn mowing (刈草坪) and other services. Some even need help with newspaper delivery. You can offer your services and earn money that way.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
David’s eyes lit up as he realized the potential.

【答案】范文
David’s eves lit up as he realized the potential. “You’re right, Mom! I can mow the lawn and do other jobs for the neighbors to save up the money. It’s a great idea!” David took his mother’s advice to heart and decided to use his weekends productively. He offered lawn-mowing services, and even took on a newspaper delivery job. With each task completed, he was one step closer to achieving his goal of buying the soccer shoes for Tom. The thought of how close he was to making Tom’s wish come true filled him with enthusiasm.
The day of Tom’s birthday finally arrived, and David couldn’t wait to surprise his best friend. At school, David presented the gift to Tom. “Happy birthday, Tom,” he said with a wide smile. Tom, surprised and curious, eagerly tore open the wrapping paper. His eyes widened with astonishment when he saw the pair of new soccer shoes. Overwhelmed with gratitude, Tom said, “David, you did this for me I can’t believe it! Thank you so much!” Tears of joy welled up in his eyes and he hugged his best friend. And David was so happy he finally made his friend’s dream come true.

Skiing in Switzerland: The Complete Guide
Switzerland, as the first place in Europe to develop winter tourism, has a long skiing tradition. A long ski season, excellent snow conditions, and large skiing areas make Switzerland a perfect destination for skiers from around the world.
Where to Ski as a Beginner
Saas-Fee: You can find plenty of English-speaking ski schools in Saas-Fee and lots of bunny slopes(初学者滑雪道) on which to master your turns. The beginner ski area is separate, so you can practice without getting in the way of other skiers.
Grindelwald: Grindelwald is a great choice for those looking for a kid-friendly skiing experience. There are plenty of ski schools and several bunny slopes, such as the Bodmi practice area, which is fit for children. Once you’re ready to head up the mountain, about 30 percent of Grindelwald’s runs are rated blue, meaning they’re on the easier side.
Summer Skiing
Zermatt is home to the Theodul Glacier(冰川) where it’s winter year-round. With 13 miles (21 kilometers) of runs, it’s the largest summer ski area in Europe and attracts professional skiers looking to train year-round. The glacier slopes here offer attractive views and allow skiers to get a close look at the Matterhorn.
Budget Travel Tips
Avoid the busiest time of year: Visit during the start or end of the ski season. Accommodation and lift pass prices are often higher over the winter holidays.
Prepare your own meals: By renting a small apartment or home with kitchen facilities, you can save on dining costs by cooking your own meals.
Enjoy the snow without skiing every day: Ice skating, winter hiking, and just having a snowball fight are all more affordable ways to enjoy the Swiss winter landscape.
1. What makes Switzerland a perfect destination for skiers
A. Its long skiing tradition. B. its well-developed tourism.
C. Its unique natural conditions. D. Its convenient location in Europe.
2. What do Saas-Fee and Grindelwald have in common
A. Having many ski schools. B. Offering kid-friendly slopes.
C. Separating skiers of different levels. D. Giving skiers a close Matterhorn view.
3. What is recommended to save money during the trip
A. Avoiding taking the lift. B. Eating at local restaurants.
C. Heading to smaller skiing areas. D. Choosing the skiing low season.
B
What is the place of art in a culture of inattention Recent visitors to the Louvre report that tourists can now spend only a minute in front of the Mona Lisa before being asked to move on. Much of that time, for some of them, is spent taking photographs not even of the painting but of themselves with the painting in the background.
One view is that we have made tourism and gallery-going so easy that we have made it effectively impossible to appreciate what we’ve travelled to see. In this society, experience becomes goods like any other. There are queues to climb Everest as well as to see famous paintings. Thus, leisure is considered as hard labour rather than relaxation.
In the rapidly developing society, what gets lost is the quality of looking. Consider an extreme example, the late philosopher Richard Wollheim. When he visited the Louvre he could spend as much as four hours sitting before a painting. The first hour, he claimed, was necessary for incorrect impression to be removed. It was only then that the picture would begin to disclose itself. This seems unthinkable today, but it is still possible to organise. Even in the busiest museums there are many rooms and many pictures worth hours of contemplation (沉思) which the crowds largely ignore.
Marcel Proust, another lover of the Louvre, wrote: “It is only through art that we can escape from ourselves and know how another person sees a universe which is not the same as our own and whose landscapes would otherwise have remained as unknown as any there may be on the moon.” If any art remains worth seeing, it must lead us to such escapes. But a minute in front of a painting in a hurried, harried (烦扰) crowd won’t do that.
4. Why does the author mention the example in Louvre in Paragraph 1
A. To express his concern about Louvre. B. To report the popularity of Mona Lisa.
C. To introduce a good place to take photos. D. To show a disappointing current situation.
5. Which of the following will Richard Wollheim agree
A. People need to clear up their misunderstanding of paintings.
B. People have to stay at least 4 hours when appreciating paintings.
C. It is impossible for modern people to admire paintings attentively.
D. The longer one admires the paintings, the more unlikely he loves them.
6. What role does art play in our life according to Marcel Proust
A. Art is of help for us to accept ourselves better.
B. Art makes our life more colourful and meaningful.
C. Art allows us to know the world in the view of others.
D. Art pushes us away from ourselves and explores the moon.
7. Which is the best title of the passage
A. Into art attentively. B. Escape from ourselves.
C. Beyond art completely. D. Go to the museums often.
C
In Singapore, authorities are looking at the possibility of digging deeper underground to create new space for human activity. The demand for underground lighting is therefore expected to rise in the future. Fortunately, a team of Nanyang Technological University (NTU) researchers has designed a “smart” device to harvest daylight and relay it to underground spaces, trimming the need to draw on traditional energy sources for lighting.
To develop the daylight harvesting device that can sustainably handle the problem, the NTU team drew inspiration from the magnifying (放大) glass, which can be used to focus sunlight into one point. The device sits above ground and just like the lens of a magnifying glass, the acrylic ball acts as the solar concentrator, enabling the sun’s rays to form a sharp focus at its opposite side. The focused sunlight is then collected into one end of a fiber cable (电缆) and transported along it to the end that is fixed underground.
As the sun moves across the sky throughout the day, so will the position of the focused sunlight inside the acrylic ball. To ensure that maximum sunlight is being collected and transported down the fiber cable throughout the day, the system uses a computer chip-based mechanism to track the sun’s rays. The Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates of the device location are preloaded into the system, allowing it to determine the spot where maximum sunlight should be focused at any given time. Two small motors assisted by computer chips are then used to adjust the position of the fiber to catch and transport sunlight from the focused spot.
Assistant Professor Yoo Seongwoo, lead author of the study said, “Our innovation is made of commercially available off-the-shelf materials, making it potentially very easy to produce at scale. We have intentionally designed the device to be lightweight and compact, which makes it convenient for our device to be combined with existing facilities in the urban environment.”
Moreover, the NTU researchers found the device’s luminous (发光的) efficiency far exceeds that of commercially available LED bulbs recorded in experiments. The quality of the light output of the NTU smart device is also comparable with current commercially available daylight harvesting systems which are far more costly.

How to stop procrastinating (拖延) and make a start
Procrastinating is as much about fear as it is about motivation. Perhaps you have avoided paying bill, outlining a proposal or asking someone out. ____12____ Fortunately, here are four tips to get you moving again.
Little steps for big tasks.
Most procrastinators tell themselves, “I’ll wait until I’m in the mood.” Let’s face it; you’re never going to feel like balancing your cheque-book or cleaning up the mess on your desk. These are boring, unpleasant tasks. ____13____ One way to do this is to break your job into steps that can be accomplished bit by bit.
____14____
Those who procrastinate often assume that successful people achieve their goals without frustration, self-doubt and failure. This is unrealistic. Highly productive people know that life is frustrating. They assume they’ll encounter obstacles; when they do, they persevere until they overcome them.
Tune out negative thoughts.
When you’re avoiding a task, it may be because you’re feeding yourself unrealistic, negative messages. ____15____ Once you change your negative thoughts, energy returns.
Give yourself credit.
____16____ But if you never allow yourself to feel satisfied with your efforts, you’ll soon find it pointless to try. So, no matter how small the achievement is, give yourself credit. Then you can tackle your toughest task.
However, if you are sure that there are good reasons why you avoid doing something, you may need to re-evaluate your goals.
A. Never give up.
B. Expect difficulties.
C. Sometimes you simply have to get yourself going.
D. We usually think of rewards as coming from the outside,
E. By writing them down, you have a chance of ridding them.
F. Be here now, and don’t worry about things you have to do in the future.
G. Whatever the thing, putting it off often becomes a bigger problem than actually doing it.

Tom’s love for soccer ran deep, and he played the game with a passion that was infectious (有感染力的) to everyone around him. But there was one thing that upset him-his worn-out soccer shoes. These shoes had been passed down to him by his older brother, and they were falling apart. With his birthday drawing near, Tom secretly wished for a new pair of soccer shoes to lift his spirits so that he could have a good performance in the game. However, he was well aware of his parents’ constant struggles to make ends meet and knew that such a wish might remain a dream forever.
One sunny afternoon, Tom and his best friend, David, were at school, watching an exciting soccer match. The exciting run and shout, the determination on the athletes’ faces, and their fine equipment were enough to make anyone’s heart race. It was at this moment that Tom said about his biggest birthday wish. He took a long deep breath and said, “How I wish I could have a new pair of soccer shoes for my birthday, but I know it’s impossible.”
David, sitting beside him, couldn’t help but overhear Tom’s words. The idea of helping his best friend achieve this long-held dream began to form in his mind. After school, David ran home and couldn’t wait to share the idea with his mother.
“Mom, I really want to do this for Tom. He’s been playing with those old shoes for so long. It would mean the world to him,” David explained seriously.
His mother smiled warmly, proud of her son’s compassion (同情) . “David, it’s a wonderful idea. It’s not just about the gift; it’s about the thought and effort you’re putting into making Tom’s day special.”
As David thought about how to earn the money, his mother suggested, “You know, David, there are various ways you can earn some extra money to save for the soccer shoes. Many of our neighbors are looking for someone to help with lawn mowing (刈草坪) and other services. Some even need help with newspaper delivery. You can offer your services and earn money that way.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
David’s eyes lit up as he realized the potential.
