Here are four of the most charming villages in Europe, along with our top picks for places to stay in each.
Eze in Cota D’Azur, France
Set on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the Provencal township of Eze is easily one of the most picturesque spots in the region. It is largely a tourist destination, and many of its buildings dates back to the Middle Age. In fact, Eze is particularly popular with couples seeking romantic solitude.

Germany’s best-known spa town, Baden-Baden, in the Black Forest of Baden- Wuttemberg, has been a popular spot for soaking in mineral-rich waters off and on since the Roman era. And while spa treatments and hot springs are still among the most popular draws for tourists, there are also plenty of museums, gardens, performing arts venues and charming old buildings and churches.
Hotel pick: Hotel Belle Epoque
Montepulciano in Tuscany, Italy
Spread over a hilltop nearly 2,000 metres above sea level, the Tuscan village of Montepulciano offers gorgeous Renaissance architecture as well as opportunities to visit wine companies.

Hotel pick: Etruria Resort
Oia in Santorini, Greece
Oia is undoubtedly the most charming village on the beautiful Greek island of Santorini.

Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages: English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country, but only one of these—Quebec is known as “French Canada”. This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.
Canada left the British Empire(帝国) in 1867 to become an independent country, and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.
Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is rare.
The same goes for traffic signs and menus, for example, outside of Quebec, there are only a few places where you’ll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants, it’s almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland(中心地带) of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, by law, have labels(标签) and instructions in both languages.
In Canada’s English-speaking provinces, official bilingualism means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this program, they are taught most of their subjects in French. If a student begins the course in kindergarten(幼儿园) or Grade One, it is likely that all his lessons will be in French. But if he starts at junior high school, 25 percent of the teaching will continue to be in English.
4. Which country controlled Canada before its independence
A. France. B. America. C. The British Empire. D. Germany.
5. Where can you watch French television programs
A. In Quebec and a few other places. B. Only in Quebec.
C. From the two national television networks. D. All over Canada.
6. What does the underlined word “bilingualism” in the fifth paragraph mean
A. 外语教育 B. 双语教育 C. 母语教育 D. 语言教育
7. What do we know about the education in Canada’s English-speaking provinces
A. Only English courses are offered.
B. Most of the courses in junior high schools are taught in English.
C. The courses in primary schools are all taught in English.
D. If you choose a special French language course in kindergarten, all of the lessons will be taught in French.
C
Newcastle, one of the fastest developing cities in the United Kingdom, is beginning to draw tourists from all corners of Europe. It’s said that most visitors come here to see the famous soccer team play. The mood of the locals is often changed by the success or failure of the local team.
Newcastle’s most popular place is the Gate, which is in the center of the city and has many attractions including bars, restaurants, sports bars, pubs and so on. During a home game it becomes a real home to happiness.
Culture and local history lovers can make their dreams come true by taking one of the local city tour buses. They come and leave every few minutes and stop at all the important historical sites in the city. Also the seats and the environment on the buses are comfortable. It’s the best way to see the city without tiring yourself out or getting cold. Places such as the Hancock Museum and Millennium Bridge are must-see attractions. But be careful if you’re short of time. Newcastle is a big place, so you should be prepared to kill a few hours on one of these buses.
If you want to watch the local team play soccer in the St. James Park, remember to book a ticket as early as possible. The locals are crazy soccer fans, and you’ll find it hard to get a ticket if you don’t wait in the queue early.

“I’m going to tell you a heartbreaking story.” I told my class of high school seniors. All eyes looked up. Nothing quiets a chatty group of teenagers faster than the promise of a story.
“In sixth grade,” I began, “I fell in love. His name was David.” The girls were laughing. “So it was Valentine’s Day. I saw one enormous envelope on my desk. My mind raced: ‘Who could it be from ’ With trembling hands, I tore it open and there was a card. At the bottom I saw the signature and almost fainted: David. Then my eyes traveled up to the writing above his signature. It read, ‘To the Ugliest Girl in Our Class’”.
Mouths dropped open. Some looked down at their desks, seemingly embarrassed for me. “What did you do ” asked a brave soul. I said. “My eyes filled with tears. It ruined Valentine’s Day for me. It shook what little faith I had in myself for a long time after. But I survived, and it gave me the motivation to undo the cruelty of David.” I smiled. “And that’s why we’re going to have a card exchange.” Their eyes lighted up. “Write something positive and sincere to someone in the class. Even if it’s someone you barely know, there’s always something nice to say. Admire their fashion sense or their basketball skills. Tell them you appreciate their friendly smile.” Looking on as they composed each message was always a treat. But the real fun came when they read what people wrote to them. From then on, I made it a Valentine tradition.
After 20 years of teaching, I harbor few hopes that students will remember all of the vocabulary. But if a student recalls of the lesson they received on Valentine’s Day, to me that makes it all worthwhile.
12. What happened on the Valentine’s Day when the author was in sixth grade
A. She broke David’s heart. B. She was made fun of by David.
C. She sent David a Valentine card. D. She took the wrong card by mistake.
13 Why did the class have a card exchange
A. To tell personal stories. B. To show fashion sense.
C. To express appreciation. D. To share basketball skills.
14. How does the author feel about the outcome of her Valentine tradition
A. Unexpected. B. Valuable. C. Humorous. D. Discouraging.
15. Which is the best title for the text
A An Exciting Job B. An Honest Mistake
C. An Experienced Teacher D. A Valentine's Day Lesson

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sock-eater ants are made-up animals with the best intention ever.
“Ow!Ow!” I shouted as I broke my jump rope rhythm and trapped my feet in the loose rope. “Something in my shoe is biting me,” I screamed. My teacher, Miss Bell, heard me and hurried over. “Which foot is it ” she asked. I stuck up my right foot as she bent over to inspect it. Just then, feeling a new sting, I yelped in pain. “Here. Let’s take off your shoe.” Instructed Miss Bell, squatting down to get the shoe.
Then, I remembered the holes in my socks. Welfare socks didn’t last long. Holes in socks were common for our family in the years following the Great Depression. Socks with holes in the heels often got pulled down so the hole wouldn’t show. Where there was a hole, there would soon be a blister. Every week as she washed our clothes, Mama would say, “Even if we’re poor and our clothes are worn out, we can still be clean.”
I refused to let Miss Bell take off my shoe. I could not bear for her and the others on the playground to see the hole in my faded red sock. “Come on, then. Let’s go inside to the office.” I did my best to hold back my tears. Yet, each time the thing in my shoe stung me, I would let out aloud, “Oh, oh, oh!” Tears raced down my twisted face.
Miss Bell lifted me onto the desk and tried again. “Let me take a look.”She just about had the shoe off when I saw the hole. I grabbed the shoe and pulled on and held it. The stinging worsened the tighter I grabbed the shoe. Miss Womble, the fifth-grade teacher,came into the office. “Can I help I know her. She lives next door to me.” “I guess ants are stinging her right foot, but she won’t let me take off her shoe,” said Miss Bell.
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。
Miss Womble put both hands on my shaking shoulders and looked into my upset red eyes.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Dealing with the angry bites gently, Miss Womble lifted her head and smiled at me.

Canada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages: English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country, but only one of these—Quebec is known as “French Canada”. This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.
Canada left the British Empire(帝国) in 1867 to become an independent country, and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.
Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is rare.
The same goes for traffic signs and menus, for example, outside of Quebec, there are only a few places where you’ll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants, it’s almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland(中心地带) of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, by law, have labels(标签) and instructions in both languages.
In Canada’s English-speaking provinces, official bilingualism means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this program, they are taught most of their subjects in French. If a student begins the course in kindergarten(幼儿园) or Grade One, it is likely that all his lessons will be in French. But if he starts at junior high school, 25 percent of the teaching will continue to be in English.

【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在加拿大英语和法语并存的现象。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段 “Canada left the British Empire(帝国) in 1867 to become an independent country, and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since. (加拿大于1867年脱离大英帝国,成为一个独立的国家,从那时起,英语和法语就被公认为官方语言。)”可知,加拿大在1867年脱离大英帝国,所以在独立之前是大英帝国统治加拿大。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段 “Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast,French television is very rare. (除了魁北克和东海岸的一些地方,法语电视非常罕见。)”可知,除了魁北克和东部沿海少数几个地方外,其他地方很少有法语电视节目。故选A。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段 “In Canada’s English-speaking provinces, official bilingualism means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this program, they are taught most of their subjects in French. (在加拿大的英语省份,官方双语意味着学生可以选择完成一门特殊的法语课程。在这个项目中,他们用法语教授大部分课程。)”画线词,前面说明在加拿大说英语的省份,可以选择法语来上某一门课程,所以此处包含着英语和法语二门课程,所以是画线词是“两门语言”,即双语的意思。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段 “If a student begins the course in kindergarten(幼儿园) or Grade One, it is likely that all his lessons will be in French. (如果一个学生在幼儿园或一年级开始学习这门课程,很可能他所有的课程都是用法语授课的。)”可知,如果一名学说在幼儿园或一年级开始用法语学习某门课程,可能他所有的课程都是法语授课。故选D。

But I survived, and it gave me the motivation to undo the cruelty of David.” I smiled. “And that’s why we’re going to have a card exchange.” Their eyes lighted up. “Write something positive and sincere to someone in the class. Even if it’s someone you barely know, there’s always something nice to say. Admire their fashion sense or their basketball skills. Tell them you appreciate their friendly smile.” Looking on as they composed each message was always a treat. But the real fun came when they read what people wrote to them. From then on, I made it a Valentine tradition.
After 20 years of teaching, I harbor few hopes that students will remember all of the vocabulary. But if a student recalls of the lesson they received on Valentine’s Day, to me that makes it all worthwhile.

Then my eyes traveled up to the writing above his signature. It read, ‘To the Ugliest Girl in Our Class’”.(“六年级时,”我开始说,“我坠入了爱河。他的名字叫大卫。”女孩们在笑。“那天是情人节。我看到书桌上有一个巨大的信封。我的脑子飞快地转着:会是谁送的呢?我用颤抖的手撕开信封,里面有一张卡片。在信的底部,我看到了签名,差点晕了过去:大卫。然后我的目光转向他签名上方的笔迹。上面写着:“致我们班最丑的女孩”)”可知,作者上六年级的那个情人节,被大卫取笑了。故选B。

All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting or pulling away from the new culture .
The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”. ____19____ .Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor!

All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting or pulling away from the new culture. (当我们在新生活中安顿下来后,我们会变得很累,开始想念我们的家乡、家人、朋友,甚至宠物。当你在异国文化中面对生活中所有的小问题时,它们似乎更大,更令人不安。这段文化适应期可能非常困难,会导致新来的人拒绝或远离新文化。)”可知,本段介绍文化冲击的第二阶段,此阶段会出现文化的不适应。选择项E“Unfortunately , the second stage can be more difficult . (不幸的是,第二阶段可能更加困难。)”符合上下文语境。故选E。
【19题详解】
根据前句“The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”.

Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor! (你的幽默感通常会变得更强,你会意识到,在新的地方学会照顾自己会让你变得更强。事情还是很困难,但你现在是幸存者了!)”可知,在调整阶段会重新认识异国文化。选择项B“This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the host culture . (这时你才开始意识到,在东道主文化中,事情并没有那么糟糕。)”符合上下文语境。故选B。
【20题详解】
根据前句“Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. (现在你在新环境中感到很舒服了。)”和后句“You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.(你可能在语言方面还有问题,但你知道你有足够的能力去处理它们。)”可知,这一阶段可以应付新环境所带来的大多数问题。选择项A“You can cope with most problems that occur.

【37题详解】

【40题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:就好像他们乘船过湖一样。分析句子可知,此处为谓语动词,结合句意可知,as if后面为虚拟语气,表示与现在情况相反,谓语动词用did,be动词使用were。故填were。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sock-eater ants are made-up animals with the best intention ever.
“Ow!Ow!” I shouted as I broke my jump rope rhythm and trapped my feet in the loose rope. “Something in my shoe is biting me,” I screamed. My teacher, Miss Bell, heard me and hurried over. “Which foot is it ” she asked. I stuck up my right foot as she bent over to inspect it. Just then, feeling a new sting, I yelped in pain. “Here. Let’s take off your shoe.” Instructed Miss Bell, squatting down to get the shoe.
Then, I remembered the holes in my socks. Welfare socks didn’t last long. Holes in socks were common for our family in the years following the Great Depression. Socks with holes in the heels often got pulled down so the hole wouldn’t show. Where there was a hole, there would soon be a blister. Every week as she washed our clothes, Mama would say, “Even if we’re poor and our clothes are worn out, we can still be clean.”
I refused to let Miss Bell take off my shoe. I could not bear for her and the others on the playground to see the hole in my faded red sock. “Come on, then. Let’s go inside to the office.” I did my best to hold back my tears. Yet, each time the thing in my shoe stung me, I would let out aloud, “Oh, oh, oh!” Tears raced down my twisted face.
Miss Bell lifted me onto the desk and tried again. “Let me take a look.”She just about had the shoe off when I saw the hole. I grabbed the shoe and pulled on and held it. The stinging worsened the tighter I grabbed the shoe. Miss Womble, the fifth-grade teacher,came into the office. “Can I help I know her. She lives next door to me.” “I guess ants are stinging her right foot, but she won’t let me take off her shoe,” said Miss Bell.
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。
Miss Womble put both hands on my shaking shoulders and looked into my upset, red eyes.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Dealing with the angry bites gently, Miss Womble lifted her head and smiled at me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Miss Womble put both hands on my shaking shoulders and looked into my upset, red eyes. Looking at me gently, she told me not to be shy and asked whether I had any problems. I felt embarrassed and didn’t know how to answer her. The more she wanted to take off my shoe, the more I wanted to avoid her. After talking to my teacher for a while, Miss Womble seemed to see my secrets. She smiled at me and promised that she would keep my secret, which was a great relief for me and I agreed to take off my shoes.
Pretending to deal with the angry bites gently, Miss Womble lifted her head and smiled at me. I was moved by her sweet smile and thanked her from the bottom of my heart. She hugged me and whispered in my ear, “Dear girl, be confident and don’t be shy. You are a good girl who deserves to be praised.” Miss Womble also told me stories about her childhood, which gave me a lot of courage to face difficulties in my daily life. What impressed me most was that a small act of kindness can make a big difference. Hence, I will never forget what Miss Womble did for me and I will pass the kindness on.
