Jenna had a secret. Her mum is the head teacher of her school. She didn’t want anyone to know this as her classmates would think that she got special treatment. Not even her friends knew about it. When her friends asked to go to her house, she just refused and said that her parents didn’t allow her to invite guests.
“Bring Your Mum to School” day was coming. Jenna usually told her friends in the past that her mum was out of town. “What does your mum do ” her friends asked. “She is a researcher, so she travels a lot.” Funnily enough, Jenna’s mum was always at “Bring Your Mum to School” day at her high school. A teacher once asked her, “Do you have a daughter ” Jenna’s mum said, “Yes, she is in college now.”
Jenna was very close to getting an A in her calculus (微积分) class. There was only one exam left. Jenna would have to get 100% on the exam to push her grade to an A. The teacher offered the students extra credits (附加分) if they brought their mum to the class on the “Bring Your Mum to School” day. Jenna told her mum that she wanted to tell everyone about their relationship. Jenna’s mum agreed. On “Bring Your Mum to School” day, Jenna brought her mum to her calculus class. She felt her heart was beating fast. She was afraid her classmates would not talk to her because she had told a lie. “Hi, our head teacher. What brings you here ” asked the calculus teacher. “I’m Jenna’s mum,” she answered. All the students in the classroom were surprised and they told Jenna she had a cool mother.

Of all the ways to define (定义) a challenge, the simplest works best: a call for special effort. It applies to everyone. It’s not enough to say that skiing a black diamond is a challenge; or that snowshoeing a 10-kilometr e route is a challenge. For some, neither may be. For others, both are unimaginable.
A call for special effort means only you know when you’re being challenged. If you’re red-faced and out of breath, it’s probably a challenge. If you have to focus and work hard to complete the task, consider yourself challenged.
This season, we sourced 10 of the most exciting winter challenges around Canada. Sure, there are some that even the writer has no intention of trying, but they all excite the imagination. They’re all about inspiring outdoor experiences at ExploreTM. We encourage adaptation as well as adoption.
When you read the feature (专栏) on page 28, you may give up the 6633 Arctic Ultra as well as the Ice Mile—but the Wapta Traverse, the famous Rocky Mountain ski tour, or the Pentathlon des Neiges, in Quebec City, may fit the bill nicely. Or maybe it’s a day-tour in the Rockies and sampling just one of the Pentathlon sports in a more relaxed setting. It’s up to you.
We wrote this article because we want you to see the possibility of winter: to look beyond a simple, though satisfying, day on the ski hill or skate on a nearby lake; to see winter as every bit as colorful as summer.
18. What does the writer think is the best way to define a challenge
A. Skiing a black diamond. B. A call for special effort.
C. Applying it to everyone. D. Snowshoeing a challenging route.
19. How does the writer feel about the 10 winter challenges around Canada in Paragraph 3
A. They are worth trying. B. They are the most challenging.
C. They are suitable for the writer. D. They fail to fire the imagination.
20. Which of the following will the writer avoid recommending
A. The Ice Mile. B. The Wapta Traverse.
C. The Pentathlon des Neiges. D. The Rocky Mountain ski tour.
21. What is the purpose of writing this article
A. To define a challenge. B. To introduce Canada’s sights.
C. To praise adventurous tourists. D. To encourage exploring winter challenges.
【答案】18. B 19. A 20. A 21. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章号召人们去加拿大挑战十个最令人兴奋的冬季挑战项目。
【18题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Of all the ways to define (定义) a challenge, the simplest works best: a call for special effort.”（在所有定义挑战的方法中，最简单的方法效果最好：号召特别的努力。它适用于每个人。）可知，作者认为定义挑战的最佳方式是需要特别的努力。故选B项。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“This season, we sourced 10 of the most exciting winter challenges around Canada. Sure, there are some that even the writer has no intention of trying, but they all excite the imagination. They’re all about inspiring outdoor experiences at ExploreTM. We encourage adaptation as well as adoption.”（这一季，我们在加拿大挑选了10个最令人兴奋的冬季挑战项目。当然，有一些甚至连作者都不想尝试，但它们都能激发想象力。它们都是关于在ExploreTM激发灵感的户外体验。我们鼓励适应和采用。）可知，作者认为加拿大冬季的十大挑战值得一试。故选A项。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“When you read the feature (专栏) on page 28, you may give up the 6633 Arctic Ultra as well as the Ice Mile—but the Wapta Traverse, the famous Rocky Mountain ski tour, or the Pentathlon des Neiges, in Quebec City, may fit the bill nicely.”（当你阅读第28页的专题时，你可能会放弃6633北极极限和冰英里，但著名的落基山滑雪之旅瓦普塔特拉弗斯，或者魁北克市的内吉斯五项全能，可能很符合你的要求。）可知，作者会避免推荐的是the Ice Mile。故选A项。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“We wrote this article because we want you to see the possibility of winter: to look beyond a simple, though satisfying, day on the ski hill or skate on a nearby lake; to see winter as every bit as colorful as summer.”（我们写这篇文章是因为我们想让你看到冬天的可能性：不仅仅是在滑雪山上或附近的湖上度过一个简单但令人满意的一天；把冬天看得和夏天一样多姿多彩。）可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励探索冬季挑战。故选D项。
D
Officials at Northland Pines School District are working with a tech company called Spooky Action on a program to allow students to use the Internet through drones (无人机).
About 10 percent of Northland Pines students don’t have any Internet access at home, and as many as 40 percent have poor connection speeds which hardly meet the demands of home learning. District leaders have tried for more than ten years to close that gap, but there are no easy solutions. “We’re a district of about 500 square miles and getting Internet connect ion for every family is a challenge,” says Harlan Leusink, the director of technology for the district.
The program will use drones that are connected to a power source on the ground and that can stay in the air for weeks and even months. The drones will serve as flying cell towers. However, the purpose of designing drones had nothing to do with the education but it was related to disasters. “A hurricane comes in and blows down all your cell towers; it’s pretty easy to put up a flying cell tower,” Rahul Tiwari, Spooky Action’s CEO, says. “It’s not necessary to replace a cell tower. The idea is to quickly meet the Internet needs of a community without having to build a million cell towers everywhere.”
While the drones can stay in the air for more than a month, that’s not usually necessary when they provide the Internet for students. Tiwari says the drones will be active during peak (高峰) class and homework times and won’t be flying overnight.
Leusink says his district is looking at the drone service as a proof-of-concept for where and how they need to set up more permanent (永久的) devices (设备). If a drone in a certain area gives students good coverage in that area, he says the next step will be for the district to look for more permanent land-based solutions.
22. What problems does Northland Pines School District have
A. It has poor Internet access and connection.
B. Internet access at home is impossible there.
C It has difficulty developing its transport services.
D. Students there pay little attention to online learning.
23. Why were Spooky Action’s drones designed at first
A. To offer daily supplies after disasters.
B. To replace cell towers in remote areas.
C. To improve the national educational standards.
D. To provide the Internet service during disasters.
24. What can we infer from what Rahul Tiwari says about drones
A. They have closed the teaching gap.
B. They cannot meet students’ needs.
C. They don’t need to work all the time.
D. They will fly close to local cell towers.
25. What step will be taken for the district
A. Developing new-type drones.
B. Further testing the drone services.
C. Offering more wireless hotspots.
D. Building permanent equipment properly.
【答案】22. A 23. D 24. C 25. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述Northland Pines学区的官员正在与一家名为Spooky Action的科技公司合作，开发一个允许学生通过无人机使用互联网的项目。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“About 10 percent of Northland Pines students don’t have any Internet access at home, and as many as 40 percent have poor connection speeds which hardly meet the demands of home learning. District leaders have tried for more than ten years to close that gap, but there are no easy solutions.(大约10%的Northland Pines学生在家没有任何互联网接入，多达40%的学生网速较差，难以满足家庭学习的需求。十多年来，地区领导人一直试图缩小这一差距，但没有简单的解决办法。)可知，Northland Pines学区的问题是它的互联网接入和连接都很差。故选A。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, the purpose of designing drones had nothing to do with the education but it was related to disasters. “A hurricane comes in and blows down all your cell towers; it’s pretty easy to put up a flying cell tower, ” Rahul Tiwari, Spooky Action’s CEO，says. “It’s not necessary to replace a Cell tower. The idea is to quickly meet the Internet needs of a community without having to build a million cell towers everywhere.” (然而，设计无人机的目的与教育无关，而是与灾难有关。Spooky Action的首席执行官拉胡尔·蒂瓦里说：“飓风来了，把你所有的手机信号塔都吹倒了；架设一个飞行的手机信号塔很容易，没有必要更换手机信号塔。我们的想法是迅速满足一个社区的互联网需求，而不必在各地建立一百万个手机信号塔。”) 可知，Spooky Action的无人机最初设计是在灾难期间提供互联网服务的。故选D。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Tiwari says the drones will be active during peak (高峰) class and homework times and won’t be flying overnight. (蒂瓦里表示，无人机将在上课高峰和作业时间活跃，不会在夜间飞行。)可知，从拉胡尔·蒂瓦里关于无人机的言论中，我们知道无人机不需要一直工作。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Leusink says his district is looking at the drone service as a proof-of-concept for where and how they need to set up more permanent (永久) devices (设备). If a drone in a certain area gives students good coverage in that area, he says the next step will be for the district to look for more permanent land-based solutions. (Leusink表示，他所在的地区正在将无人机服务视为一种概念验证，以确定他们需要在哪里以及如何设置更永久的设备。他说，如果某一地区的无人机能很好地覆盖学生，下一步该地区将寻找更永久的陆地解决方案。)可知，该地区将采取的措施是妥善建造永久性设备。故选D。

26题详解】

【27题详解】
第二段中心句是“Prepare ahead.（要提前做好准备。）”，选项E中“Choose one day of the week to prepare lunches.（选择一周中的一天来准备午餐。）”恰好说的是如何提前做准备，与空后的“Make enough for the next seven days（为接下来的七天准备足够的食物）”衔接紧密。故选 E 。
【28题详解】
上文“White bread in not healthy for growing children. But whole grain breads are best for little ones.（白面包对成长中的孩子不健康。但是全谷物面包最适合小孩子。）”讲的是与面包有关的内容；而空后“Grapes , apples , bananas and pears are all suitable for healthy school lunches.（葡萄、苹果、香蕉和梨都适合做健康的学校午餐。）”讲的是与水果有关的事，选项 C 中的“Besides ”和“fresh fruit”分别起到了承上启下的作用，故选 C。
【29题详解】
根据第四段中“A snack cake every time is okay.（每次吃一块点心就可以了。）”和“Instead ,bring fruit bread as a snack.（你可以带些水果面包作为零食。）”可知本段内容与健康的零食有关，所以A项“避免不健康的零食。”与段意相符。故选 A。
【30题详解】
从前文“Small, healthy changes in your child' s lunch help him or her develop healthy eating habits that last a lifetime.（在孩子的午餐上做一些小小的健康的改变，可以帮助他或她养成持续一生的健康饮食习惯。）”可知，想让孩子养成持续一生的健康的饮食习惯需要从日常生活中的点点滴滴的小事做起，这与选项 D “健康饮食是一种习得行为”的语意一致，故选 D。

【详解】考查过去分词。句意：被重点大学录取了，这个女孩非常激动，哭了起来。分析句子结构可知，此处应为非谓语动词作状语，admit与逻辑主语the girl之间为被动关系，所以此处使用过去分词admitted，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Admitted。
49. Last night, there were millions of people __________ (watch) the ceremony live on TV. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】watching
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：昨晚，数百万人在电视上观看了颁奖典礼的现场直播。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词were，所以watch应该用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语people之间是主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填watching。
50. Susan made________ clear to me that she wished to make a new life for herself. （用适当的词填空）
【答案】it
【解析】
【详解】考查it作形式宾语。句意：苏珊清楚地向我表明她希望为自己过一种新的生活。分析可知，that she wished to make a new life for herself. 是真正的宾语，因此要用it作形式宾语。故填it。
51. The museum was built in memory ___________ the famous scientist. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】of
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：博物馆是为纪念这位著名科学家而建的。短语“in memory of”意为“为了纪念”，故填of。
52. We should be grateful if you would reply at your earliest ________ (convenient).（所给词的适当形式填空）
【答案】convenience
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：如你能尽早回复，我们将不胜感激。根据上文your earliest可知此处要用名词，convenience不可数名词。短语at your earliest convenience“尽早，得便务请…从速”。故填convenience。
53. Having worked in the kindergarten for three ___________ (decade), they retired. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】decades
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意：在幼儿园工作了三十年后，他们退休了。three后接复数decades，作宾语。故填decades。
54. ___________ (fortunate), everything worked out all right in the end. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Fortunately
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意：幸运的是，最后一切都解决了。使用副词作状语修饰后面的句子，需要的词义为“幸运地”，为fortunately，空格位于句首，故填Fortunately。
55. He made ___________ appointment with his resident physician for further medical treatment. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】an
【解析】
【详解】考查冠词。句意：他和住院医生预约了进一步的治疗。固定短语“make an appointment with sb”意为“和某人预约”，appointment以元音音素开始发音，不定冠词用an。故填an。
第四部分 写作(共两节，满分42.5分)
第一节 句子考查(56-61题每空0.5分，62-64每题3分，满分17.5分)
根据下面各个句子的要求，完成、改写或翻译句子。
56. A great deal of polluted water __________ __________ __________ (对……有伤害) our physical health. (根据汉语提示完成句子)
【答案】 ①. is/does ②. harmful/harm ③. to
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和固定短语。句意：大量的被污染的水对我们的身体健康有害。固定短语“对……有伤害”为“be harmful to”或“do harm to”，句子描述的为客观事实，使用一般现在时，主语“a great deal of polluted water”为单数，故填①is/does ②harmful/harm ③to。
57. I was really grateful to my colleagues for __________ _________ _________ (帮助我度过难关) difficulties. (根据汉语提示完成句子)
【答案】 ①. carrying ②. me ③. through
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：我真的很感激我的同事们帮助我度过难关。动词短语“帮助某人度过难关”为“carry sb through”，宾语“我”为“me”，介词for后接动名词形式作宾语，故填①carrying，②me，③through。
58. __________ __________ __________ (坦白说), the fireworks going off throughout the night were really annoying. (根据汉语提示完成句子)
【答案】 ①. To ②. be ③. frank
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：坦白说，整个晚上都在燃放的烟花真的很烦人。“坦白说”为“to be frank”，空格位于句首，故填①To ②be ③frank。
59. Despite his age, my uncle still leads and active life. (改写为同义句)
__________ __________ __________ his age, my uncle still leads an active life.
【答案】 ①. In ②. spite ③. of
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：尽管上了年纪，我叔叔仍然过着活跃的生活。“despite”可以替换为“in spite of”，意为“尽管”，空格位于句首，故填①In， ②spite， ③of。
60. There is no doubt that we benefit from the voluntary work. (改写为同义句)
There is no doubt that doing voluntary work _________ _________ ________ us.
【答案】 ①. is ②. beneficial ③. to
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：毫无疑问，我们从志愿工作中受益。原句中“我们从志愿工作中受益”改写为“做志愿工作对我们有益”，动词短语benefit from替换为be beneficial to，意为“对……有益处”，作从句谓语，主语是动名词短语，系动词用单数。故填is；beneficial；to。
61. If it is necessary, you can fold the paper in half. (句型转换)
_________ _________, you can fold the paper in half.
【答案】 ①. If ②. necessary
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句省略句。句意：如果必要的话，你可以把纸对折。条件状语从句“If it is+形容词”可用“if+形容词”的省略形式表达，故If it is necessary可转换为If necessary。故空①填If；空②填necessary。
62. When he was asked about his address, the little boy didn’t respond.(用过去分词改写句子)
_________________________________________________________________
【答案】When asked about his address, the little boy didn’t respond.
【解析】
【详解】考查状语从句中的省略。句意：当问到他的住址时，小男孩没有回答。该状语从句中的主语“he”与主句中的主语“the little boy ”一致，可以省略从句中的“主语+be”，即“he was”，故答案为：When asked about his address, the little boy didn’t respond.
63. In recent years, the factory has produced a lot of teaching equipment. (改为被动句)
_________________________________________________________________
【答案】In recent years, a lot of teaching equipment has been produced by the factory.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态语态。原句中“the factory has produced a lot of teaching equipment”为“主谓宾”的主动结构，使用了现在完成时。改为被动句，即使用现在完成时的被动语态，需要将原来的宾语变为主语，即“a lot of teaching equipment”作主语，equipment是不可数名词，谓语动词用单数；原来的主语变为宾语，由介词by引出，即“by the factory”，故答案为：In recent years, a lot of teaching equipment has been produced by the factory.
64. 看到他迷人的表演，他的父母感动得热泪盈眶。(现在分词作状语翻译句子) (汉译英)
_________________________________________________________________
【答案】Seeing his amazing performance, his parents were moved to tears.
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词和时态、语态。句子描述的事情发生在过去，使用一般过去时。“看到”为“see”，“他的”为“his”，“迷人的”为“amazing”，“表演”为“performance”，句子主语“他的父母”为“his parents”，与see之间为主动关系，使用现在分词作状语，则“看到他迷人的表演”翻译为“seeing his amazing performance”；“将某人感动得热泪盈眶”为动词短语“move sb to tears”，“his parents”与move为被动关系，则“他的父母感动得热泪盈眶”应使用一般过去时的被动语态，翻译为“his parents were moved to tears”，故“看到他迷人的表演，他的父母感动得热泪盈眶”翻译为Seeing his amazing performance, his parents were moved to tears.

Gifts for the poor
Mrs. Susan was mean and bad-tempered. There was no other way to describe her. Just the other day I heard her telling the headmaster that children took too much time in arts. She even said that most of us didn’t understand what we were doing. I left the office feeling very angry.
My anger didn’t last, however. It was December and Christmas was approaching. Excitement filled me right up to the top of my head. I smiled and laughed, singing “Jingle Bells” as we rode home from school.
After dinner, Mom and Dad called me into the family room. I knew what we were going to discuss. Every year for as long as I could remember, we had chosen a family who needed some extra help at Christmastime, and we had taken gifts and food to their house. It was one of our family’s favorite traditions.
Dad said, “It’s time we decide which family to help this year. Do you have a suggestion ” Some years it had been really easy to decide, but this year I couldn’t think of anyone. Dad looked at Mom. “Maybe Mom has a suggestion. Sometimes she notices things the rest of us miss.” Mom smiled. “I do know of someone who needs our help. I think we should help Mrs. Susan.”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! “But, Mom,” I protested, “she seems to have plenty of money and she dresses in nice clothes. Besides, she’s really bad-tempered. She doesn’t even like kids. She might even kick our gifts off her porch (门廊). I think we should choose someone else.”
“I know Mrs. Susan has enough money,” Mom said. “I know she isn’t very pleasant to be around. But she was divorced before she moved here. She has three children who have their own children and never come to see her. She is very lonely and unhappy. You see, she never celebrates Christmas. April, you weren’t quite right when you said she wasn’t poor.”
“You mean she’s poor in love ” I asked. “Yes. Sometimes it’s much more painful to be poor in love than it is to be poor in money ” I was quiet for minutes. Then Dad said, “Let’s take a vote.” Dad’ and Mom’s hands went up. Looking at them, I unwillingly raised mine.
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。
Mom said besides buying her a gift, we should make something by hand.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With the box in hand, I could feel my heart pounding when ringing Susan’s doorbell.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Mom said besides buying her a gift, we should make something by hand. Reminded by my mother, I spent a long time making a gift and writing some Christmas wishes. I wrapped the gift carefully and put it in a beautiful box. On the top of the box I tied a bright red bow. Time flowed. When I finished all the preparations, my heart was full of excitement. On Christmas Day, my family and I went to Susan's door.
With the box in hand, I could feel my heart pounding when ringing Susan’s doorbell. Ms. Susan was so surprised that her jaw dropped when she saw us. I said with great joy, “Merry Christmas! Here’s a present for you, Ms. Susan!” With great gratitude, Ms. Susan invited us in and opened my gift box. It’s a picture I made myself, which was about Ms. Susan reuniting with her family. She was so excited that she burst into tears and suddenly hugged me in her arms, sobbing, “This is the most meaningful gift I have ever received, and the most unforgettable Christmas I have ever had!”

【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了每年圣诞节，作者和家人会选择帮扶一个贫困家庭。就在今年的圣诞节，妈妈帮助Susan女士，作者是极力反对的，因为她经常说孩子们学习艺术没有用处，同时似乎看起来不太喜欢孩子。在听说Susan虽然有三个孩子，但是没有家人陪伴后，作者同意帮助Susan女士。

Jenna had a secret. Her mum is the head teacher of her school. She didn’t want anyone to know this as her classmates would think that she got special treatment. Not even her friends knew about it. When her friends asked to go to her house, she just refused and said that her parents didn’t allow her to invite guests.
“Bring Your Mum to School” day was coming. Jenna usually told her friends in the past that her mum was out of town. “What does your mum do ” her friends asked. “She is a researcher, so she travels a lot.” Funnily enough, Jenna’s mum was always at “Bring Your Mum to School” day at her high school.

Jenna was very close to getting an A in her calculus (微积分) class. There was only one exam left. Jenna would have to get 100% on the exam to push her grade to an A. The teacher offered the students extra credits (附加分) if they brought their mum to the class on the “Bring Your Mum to School” day. Jenna told her mum that she wanted to tell everyone about their relationship. Jenna’s mum agreed. On “Bring Your Mum to School” day, Jenna brought her mum to her calculus class. She felt her heart was beating fast. She was afraid her classmates would not talk to her because she had told a lie. “Hi, our head teacher.

Of all the ways to define (定义) a challenge, the simplest works best: a call for special effort. It applies to everyone. It’s not enough to say that skiing a black diamond is a challenge; or that snowshoeing a 10-kilometr e route is a challenge. For some, neither may be. For others, both are unimaginable.
A call for special effort means only you know when you’re being challenged. If you’re red-faced and out of breath, it’s probably a challenge. If you have to focus and work hard to complete the task, consider yourself challenged.
This season, we sourced 10 of the most exciting winter challenges around Canada. Sure, there are some that even the writer has no intention of trying, but they all excite the imagination. They’re all about inspiring outdoor experiences at ExploreTM. We encourage adaptation as well as adoption.
When you read the feature (专栏) on page 28, you may give up the 6633 Arctic Ultra as well as the Ice Mile—but the Wapta Traverse, the famous Rocky Mountain ski tour, or the Pentathlon des Neiges, in Quebec City, may fit the bill nicely. Or maybe it’s a day-tour in the Rockies and sampling just one of the Pentathlon sports in a more relaxed setting. It’s up to you.
We wrote this article because we want you to see the possibility of winter: to look beyond a simple, though satisfying, day on the ski hill or skate on a nearby lake; to see winter as every bit as colorful as summer.
18. What does the writer think is the best way to define a challenge
A. Skiing a black diamond. B. A call for special effort.
C. Applying it to everyone. D. Snowshoeing a challenging route.
19. How does the writer feel about the 10 winter challenges around Canada in Paragraph 3
A. They are worth trying. B. They are the most challenging.
C. They are suitable for the writer. D. They fail to fire the imagination.
20. Which of the following will the writer avoid recommending
A. The Ice Mile. B. The Wapta Traverse.
C. The Pentathlon des Neiges. D. The Rocky Mountain ski tour.
21. What is the purpose of writing this article
A. To define a challenge. B. To introduce Canada’s sights.
C. To praise adventurous tourists. D. To encourage exploring winter challenges.
D
Officials at Northland Pines School District are working with a tech company called Spooky Action on a program to allow students to use the Internet through drones (无人机).
About 10 percent of Northland Pines students don’t have any Internet access at home, and as many as 40 percent have poor connection speeds which hardly meet the demands of home learning. District leaders have tried for more than ten years to close that gap, but there are no easy solutions. “We’re a district of about 500 square miles and getting Internet connect ion for every family is a challenge,” says Harlan Leusink, the director of technology for the district.
The program will use drones that are connected to a power source on the ground and that can stay in the air for weeks and even months. The drones will serve as flying cell towers. However, the purpose of designing drones had nothing to do with the education but it was related to disasters. “A hurricane comes in and blows down all your cell towers; it’s pretty easy to put up a flying cell tower,” Rahul Tiwari, Spooky Action’s CEO, says. “It’s not necessary to replace a cell tower. The idea is to quickly meet the Internet needs of a community without having to build a million cell towers everywhere.”
While the drones can stay in the air for more than a month, that’s not usually necessary when they provide the Internet for students. Tiwari says the drones will be active during peak (高峰) class and homework times and won’t be flying overnight.
Leusink says his district is looking at the drone service as a proof-of-concept for where and how they need to set up more permanent (永久的) devices (设备). If a drone in a certain area gives students good coverage in that area, he says the next step will be for the district to look for more permanent land-based solutions.
22. What problems does Northland Pines School District have
A. It has poor Internet access and connection.
B Internet access at home is impossible there.
C. It has difficulty developing its transport services.
D Students there pay little attention to online learning.
23. Why were Spooky Action’s drones designed at first
A. To offer daily supplies after disasters.
B. To replace cell towers in remote areas.
C. To improve the national educational standards.
D. To provide the Internet service during disasters.
24. What can we infer from what Rahul Tiwari says about drones
A. They have closed the teaching gap.
B. They cannot meet students’ needs.
C. They don’t need to work all the time.
D. They will fly close to local cell towers.
25. What step will be taken for the district
A. Developing new-type drones.
B. Further testing the drone services.
C. Offering more wireless hotspots.
D. Building permanent equipment properly.

It was one of our family’s favorite traditions.
Dad said, “It’s time we decide which family to help this year. Do you have a suggestion ” Some years it had been really easy to decide, but this year I couldn’t think of anyone. Dad looked at Mom. “Maybe Mom has a suggestion. Sometimes she notices things the rest of us miss.” Mom smiled. “I do know of someone who needs our help. I think we should help Mrs. Susan.”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! “But, Mom,” I protested, “she seems to have plenty of money and she dresses in nice clothes. Besides, she’s really bad-tempered. She doesn’t even like kids. She might even kick our gifts off her porch (门廊). I think we should choose someone else.”
“I know Mrs. Susan has enough money,” Mom said. “I know she isn’t very pleasant to be around. But she was divorced before she moved here. She has three children who have their own children and never come to see her. She is very lonely and unhappy. You see, she never celebrates Christmas. April, you weren’t quite right when you said she wasn’t poor.”
“You mean she’s poor in love ” I asked. “Yes. Sometimes it’s much more painful to be poor in love than it is to be poor in money ” I was quiet for minutes. Then Dad said, “Let’s take a vote.” Dad’ and Mom’s hands went up. Looking at them, I unwillingly raised mine.
