A
Iceland, an island just south of the Arctic Circle, has fairly mild winters, thanks to warm ocean currents. Time your vacation here during the winter months to take advantage of off-season deals.
Off-season means good deals on flights, hotels and tours. You may also find that the locals are a bit friendlier and more welcoming when tourists aren’t arriving in crowds.
In the winter months, there are less than seven hours of daylight; thus, chances are that you’ll catch sight of the northern lights. Sunsets are also beautiful at this time, making for some great photo opportunities.
In Iceland, winter is the perfect time to hike glaciers, go ice climbing, explore caves made out of hardened lava(岩浆) and much more. One of the most popular activities is off-roading(越野比赛) in a specially-equipped “super jeep”.
Before booking your trip, be sure to check for volcano alerts. There are about 130 volcanoes on or around Iceland. Thirty-five of them are active. In 2010, a volcano named Eyjaallajokull exploded, sending clouds of ash up to four kilometers into the atmosphere. The ash drifted toward the UK and Europe. Because the ash could damage aircraft engines, airlines operating in the region were forced to cancel flights for six days. As a result, thousands of people were stuck in airports.
Recently, another volcano named Bardarbunga has become active, erupting(喷发) ash into the air. Such events, if large enough, could prevent your trip from going ahead. So check the latest volcano news prior to（先于） making your reservations.
21. According to this article, why are you more likely to see the northern lights in the winter?
A. They move from rural areas to cities. B. The weather is less changeable at that time.
C. They’re a special feature of many festivals. D. The sky is dark for longer periods then.
22. According to the article, how do visitors to Iceland have fun in the winter?
A. They learn how to ski down the mountains.
B. They photograph famous historic sites.
C. They explore the countryside in well made vehicles.
D. They spend a week at one of the seaside resorts.
23. What is true about the volcanoes of Iceland?
A. The majority of them are quiet. B. Their age hasn’t been determined.
C. All but one of them are extinct. D. Citizens aren’t affected by them.
B
It’s OK to say you’ve never heard of grime (伦敦地下音乐) - unless you’re from the UK. That’s because this music type was invented in the UK in the early 2000s.
To someone who’s not familiar with underground music culture, it’s easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didn’t bother to tell them apart，until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy and J Hus led this year’s Mobo – “music of black origin”, an award in the UK. Just like UK electronic music and hip-hop, from which grime drew influence, it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop, grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs.
Lady Leshurr，known as the “Grime Queen”, said that she once tried to hide her accent, as she didn’t want people to judge her. But one day, she realized that she didn’t need to change herself just to please others. And there’s no doubt that this is the soul of grime music: be yourself.
Grime has challenged modem music in its production beauty and its expressions. Also different from the hip-hop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena like those who suffer from disasters and the gap between the rich and poor.
Although still quite a young music type, grime seems to be getting loved by more and more people. In 2016, the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead.
However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted widely or not, one thing is for sure: in grime, singers always stay true to themselves.
24. Why is it easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime for some people?
A. They are the same in music form. B. They both make a lot of noise.
C. They have a great effect on each other. D. They both developed out of electronic music.
25. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A. The award. B. Grime. C. Electronic music. D.Hip-Hop
26. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Grime is widely accepted all over the world now.
B. In grime, singers need to change themselves to please others.
C. More and more people like grime because it has a long history.
D. Grime singers have a strong sense of social responsibility.
27. Why does the author mention the success of Skepta?
A. To show that grime is getting more and more popular.
B. To prove that grime singers stay true to themselves.
C. To explain that underground music is still quite young.
D. To show that Skepta has greater musical talent than David Bowie.
C
New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion. However, how these expressions are understood might depend on where you are from.
Research by scientists from the University of Glasgow in the UK has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. Many scientists had believed that there were six basic emotions that people from all cultures recognized. These were happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust(厌恶). However, the University of Glasgow’s work now suggests that the human face only had four basic expressions of emotions. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to tell apart, especially when they are first shown on the face. Fear and surprise, both share wide-open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.
So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate much
more complex feelings? The study found that the way expressions are understood is different in different cultures. Lead researcher Rachael Jack was studying this because “facial expressions were considered to be universal”, she explained. However, while looking at how people from the East and West recognize different parts of the face, they found that although there are some common features across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized universally.
“We said we don’t know what a disgust face looks like in China, so the best way to go about that is to make all combinations of facial movements and show the Chinese people and ask them to choose the ones they think are disgust faces.” With the software they developed, they discovered that in the early stages of signaling emotion, fear and surprise, and anger and disgust, were often confused. Jack explained that this development of facial expressions is related to biology and social situations.
What has caught people’s interest is the cross-cultural aspect of the work. “This study shows which emotions we share, and which are different in different cultures,” Jack said. This finding could help us develop new communication technologies, for example ones that use video-calling programs like Skype. When you talk to someone in Japan in the future, a programme could “read” your facial expressions and then “translate” them for the Japanese person. The Japanese person would see the Japanese facial expression on their screen. In this way, people from different cultures could understand each other better.
28.From the first two paragraphs, we can conclude that new research _______. .
A. has shown that our faces only show happiness, sadness, fear and surprise
B. has suggested that we can recognize six basic emotions from facial expressions
C. has shown that traditional opinions of facial expressions of emotions are correct
D. has found that people may not recognize the different between looks of fear and surprise
29.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Facial expressions are considered to be universal
B. People across cultures show different kinds of feelings
C. Different people understand facial expressions differently
D. Facial expressions have some common features across cultures
30.Why are some facial expressions often easy to confuse?
A. Personalities differ from person to person
B. Some pairs of emotions are impossible to tell apart
C. People come from different nations and cultural backgrounds
D. Chinese people have a similar idea of a disgusted face to people from the West
31.The purpose of the article is mainly to ______.
A. report on a study about facial expressions of feelings
B. show readers’ wrong ideas about basic facial expressions
C. remind us that some facial expressions are often confusing
D. describe how people across cultures read facial expressions
D
A survey said the average Asian dad spent one minute a day with his children. I was shocked. I mean, a whole minute? Every day? Get real. Once a week maybe. The fact is, many Asian males are terrible at kid-related things. In fact, I am one of them.
Child-rearing (养育) doesn’t come naturally to guys. My mother knew the names of our teachers, best friends and crushes. My dad was only vaguely aware there were short people sharing the apartment. My mother bought healthy fresh food at the market every day. My dad would only go shopping when there was nothing in the fridge except a jar of butter. Then he’d buy beer. My mother always knew the right questions to ask our teachers. My dad would ask my English teacher if she could get us a discount on school fees. My mother served kid food to kids. My dad added chili sauce to everything, including our baby food.
The truth is, mothers have superpowers. My son fell off a wall once and hurt himself all over. I demanded someone bring me a computer so I could google what to do. My wife ignored me and did some sort of chanting(咏诵) phrase such as“Mummy kiss it better,” and cured 17 separate injuries in less than 15 seconds.
Yes, mothers are incredible people, but they are not always correct. Yet honesty forces me to record the fact that mothers only know best 99.99 percent of the time. Here are some famous slip-ups.
The mother of Bill Gates:“If you’re going to drop out of college and hang out with your stupid friends, don’t come running to me when you find yourself penniless.”The mother of Albert Einstein:“When you grow up, you’ll find that sitting around thinking about the nature of time and space won’t pay the grocery bills.” The mother of George W. Bush: “You’ll never be like your dad, who became President of the United States and started his own war.”
32. The tone （语气）for the writer to write the passage is ________.
A. serious. B. humorous. C. disapproving（不赞成的）. D. critical
33. In paragraph 2, the writer makes a comparison between mothers and fathers to prove that _____.
A. females love kids more than males
B. child-rearing is difficult both for females and males
C. my dad is not interested in child-rearing
D. males are not good at child-rearing
34. What does the underlined word “slip-ups” in paragraph 4 probably mean?.
A. Stories. B. Shortcomings. C. Mistakes. D. Disadvantages.
35. The last paragraph is mainly developed by __________.
A. providing different examples B. following the order of space
C. making comparisons D. analyzing causes

项中有两项为多余选项。
Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, you are communicating quite fluently. __36__
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult task for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. So, the most important thing is to listen as often as possible.
__37___ The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com, which allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding. ___38_____
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
Keep cool when you do not understand — even if you continue not to understand for a long time.
___39____ Don't concentrate on details until you have understood the main idea.
___40_____This approach usually results in confusion. Translating leads to a kind of block in one’s brain which sometimes doesn't allow us to understand anything at all!
By remaining calm, allowing yourself not to understand, and not to translate while listening, your brain is free to concentrate on the most important thing: understanding English in English.
A. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly.
B. What should you do?
C. Do not translate everything into your native language.
D. This situation leads to less ---not more---understanding. E. The next step is to find listening resources. F. Listen for the general idea of the conversation. G. But listening is STILL a problem.

Dear Tom,
I'm very glad to receive your letter. And it's a pleasure to tell you something about how I will spend the winter holiday.
First, I want to have a good rest because recently I often feel tired as a result of my heavy study burden as well as lack of sleep and physicalexercise. Of course, it will take me two days to stay with my grandparents living in the countryside and help them do some housework and tell them what has happened to me and my friends. What's more, I want to go on a trip with my friends to appreciate the beauty of nature and breathe fresh air. What will you do in your winter holidays? I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Ping
