Many travelers think it is essential to see the northern lights before they die. It’s absolutely right, because these lights are one of nature’s most jaw-dropping views.
In Sweden, the northern lights usually appear from late March or early April. Your best chance of catching a glimpse of them is on cold winter nights when the sky is clear, dark with little to no moonlight, and cloudless. You need to be away from city lights and go to the countryside. For those willing to brave the cold on winter nights, here are some of the best locations.
Abisko National Park
Abisko Natinal Park is a main location. The scientifically confirmed “blue hole” a piece of sky over the Tornetrask lake that usually remains clear despite cloudy weather nearby gives Abisko its own microclimate (局部地区气候), which is suitable for catching the lights.
Jukkasjarvi
The village of Jukkasjarvi only has about 550 people. But don’t let the small population size fool you: Jukkasjarvi owns the world’s first ice hotel and is one of the best places to view the northern lights. The ice hotel organizes guided tours for guests to the Esrange Space Center. There you can eat at a camp outside and see the Arctic winter sky for aurora borealis (北极光). Or why not try to get closer to the northern lights and watch them through an aeroplane window The ice hotel arranges flights for the amazing northern lights experience.
Gallivare
You can drive a snowmobile to the mountain top in Gallivare for a private light show, of head a few kilometers to nearby villages to watch those lights shining across the dark winter sky. But remember if you do get the chance to see the northern lights in person, never whistle to them. According to ancient Sumi fairy, it brings you bad luck.
1. When are you likely to best enjoy the northern lights in Sweden
A. On cold winter nights with clear sky and a little moonlight.
B. On chilly winter nights in the rural area without moonlight or cloud.
C. On freezing winter nights in the city center with few lights and little could.
D. On winter nights when the sky is dark with little moonlight and no cloud.
2. What do you know about Jukkasjarvi
A. It has up to 550 people.
B. It owns the world’s first hotel.
C. It is among the best places to view the northern lights.
D. You can eat at a camp inside and see the aurora borealis.
3. Where can the text be found
A. A science report. B. An art magazine.
C. A travel guide. D. A history book.

A few years ago, my husband Charlie and I had marriage problems. Growing family responsibilities and financial worries put us under great pressure and we began arguing frequently, often late into the night.
However neither of us could take the step that would end our eleven-year marriage and bring heartbreak to our three young children. Deep down we knew we still loved each other, so we determined to work it out. Through countless discussions, we began to close the gulf. The more honest we were, the closer we became. When I felt we were reaching solid ground, I asked my husband to give me an “eternity (永恒) ring”. It was not so much the ring I wanted; it was the reassurance I thought it would bring.
We went shopping on a beautiful summer day. We walked hand in hand along a row of jeweler’s shops. Finally I found a ring I liked. While waiting for it to be adjusted, the jeweler took my left hand and glanced at my engagement ring. “May I clean it for you ” he asked. “It really doesn’t sparkle like it used to.” Charlie said as I slipped the ring off my finger. A few minutes later the jeweler was back. The ring shone like new!
On the drive home, I didn’t take my eyes off it. I forgot all about the eternity ring. I just couldn’t believe how this old ring suddenly sparkled the way it had the day Charlie gave it to me. I had taken it for granted these past years, but with a little polish it could still make my heart beat fast.
And that’s the way it is with a marriage. You have to work at keeping it polished and new, or else the grime (污垢) of the passing years will hide the joy. I put my hand on the seat between us and spread my fingers. Charlie covered my hand with his. I felt I was lucky to be able to see the sparkle in something old when I thought I needed something new.
24. The author and her husband had marriage problems partly because __________.
A. they frequently argued late into the night B. they were lack of money
C. they had countless discussions D. the author wanted to have an eternity ring
25. What does the underlined part in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Free of trouble. B. Arriving at a square.
C. Wealthy and generous. D. In good relationship.
26. Why did the author forget all about the eternity ring on their way back home
A. The old ring’s light attracted her attention.
B. She was not satisfied with the eternity ring.
C. Her husband kept it for her.
D. The couple were talking all the way merrily.
27. What does the author mainly want to express in the last paragraph
A. We tend to prefer new objects to old ones.
B. One should remain thankful for what he has got.
C. Marriage should be constantly polished.
D. We should try to rediscover the use of old objects.
C
With 11 foreign languages under her belt, 68-year-old villager-turned tour guide Xu Xiuzhen has become a celebrity in the town of Yangshuo.
Xu was born in a poor family at the base of Moon Hill. In the late 1970s, Yangshuo became one of the country’s first tourist destinations to welcome foreign visitors after China’s reform and opening up in 1978. “I began to see more foreign faces near Mt. Moon, and locals who spoke some English sold more bottled water than me,” said Xu. “No English, no money.” With the influx of foreign guests in Yangshuo, a large number of villagers sought opportunities to learn English given the booming tourism market. Xu eagerly joined the craze. At that time, she made a living on farming and occasionally sold bottled water to tourists near Mt. Moon.
Over the past 16 years, Xu never stops learning and has taught herself 11 foreign languages, including English, Spanish, Japanese and Korean. But the polyglot farmer’s success has been hard-won. She started learning simple English phrases 16 years ago. “I used Pinyin to memorize the pronunciation of English words, but my strong southern accent made it quite difficult to understand,” said Xu. So, “I turned to foreign visitors for help, and I always appreciate their feedback because they have helped me correct my word choices and pronunciation.”
Not content to simply serve as a tour guide, she now owns a popular restaurant and operates a reputable hotel. Huang Yongzhong, director of Yangshuo’s tourism bureau, said Xu’s success has encouraged many farmers to follow suit. He added that the government supports local tour guides by providing frequent training on the laws and regulations of the tourism industry. Farmers in Yangshuo are passionate, sincere and hard-working, and this spirit will lead to more success stories like that of her, he said.
28. What does the underlined word “craze” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A. Learning English. B. Living by farming.
C. Selling bottled water. D. Welcoming foreign visitors.
29. According to Paragraph 3, Xu learnt English by the following means EXCEPT ______.
A. making use of Pinyin B. imitating southern accent
C. learning from foreigners’ feedback D. polishing the pronunciation of words
30. What is the government’s attitude towards Xu’s success
A. Neutral. B. Skeptical. C. Positive. D. Cautious.
31. What is the most suitable title for this passage
A. Practice makes perfect B. One who fails to reach the Great Wall is not a hero
C. Don’t judge a book by its cover D. The “late” bird strives to catch the worm
D
Plastic is everywhere in our modern world. Its toughness makes it an extremely useful material from household items to vehicle parts, but that same toughness makes it hard to break down for recycling or disposal (处理). However, Japanese scientists at the University of Tokyo have developed a new plastic material that can be broken down more easily and can self-heal and remember past shapes.
Based on a kind of plastic called an epoxy resin vitrimer, which is brittle (脆性的), the new plastic has a huge range of advantages. Once scratched (刮划) with a knife, it can completely patch itself up after being heated to 150 ℃ for just 60 seconds. When shaped into the shape of a crane, then flattened, it can fold itself back into the crane shape by being heated up. It does all of this much faster than others of its type.
The new plastic can also break down easier. Even if it’s thrown into the environment, it still has less of a problem than other kinds of plastic, which the team demonstrated by placing it in seawater for 30 days. It biodegraded (生物降解) by 25% and released something that is eatable for ocean life.
The new plastic is more resistant to breaking. It can also repair itself, and can recover its original memorized shape. It even biodegrades safely in a ocean environment, according to Shota Ando, a researcher of the study.
The material can be used in a variety of applications. “Building materials for roads and bridges are often composed of epoxy resins mixed with compounds (化合物) such as concrete and carbon,” said Ando. “By using the new plastic, these would be easier to maintain as they would be stronger and healable using heat. Unlike conventional epoxy resins, this new material is hard but flexible, so it could also be expected to strongly bond materials of different hardness and stretch.”
32. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic of the text. B. To show the disadvantages of plastic.
C. To highlight the importance of plastic. D. To show his views on previous plastic.
33. What do the underlined words “patch itself up” mean in paragraph 2
A. Change itself. B. Destroy itself. C. Repair itself. D. Burn itself.
34. What do we know about the new plastic
A. It is safe for animals in the ocean. B. It is made up of concrete and carbon.
C. It can change its shape when frozen. D. It is more brittle than previous plastic.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. How to Make a New Plastic B. A New Environmentally Friendly Plastic
C. The Widespread Application of Plastic D. An Interesting Scientific Study

One day Albert found a baby bird lying on the ground, squawking (叫喊) for help. Feeling sad for the bird, Albert petted it gently and wanted to help it, but he didn’t know how since he was just 7 years old. So he took the bird in his hands, carried it carefully home and showed it to his parents. At once, his parents took action. They washed the bird and found it injured. With the help of his parents, Albert dressed the wound. But it would need time and care for the bird to completely recover. As the bird had become dear to his heart, Albert immediately offered to care for the bird.
Albert named his new friend “Lucky”. He began to feed the bird and he even ran out to collect grass to build a soft nest for the bird. Then, he put the nest beside his bed. Albert and the bird were sleeping together and living together. Soon they became close friends. Albert always told it about his experiences in school and his secrets. Lucky, an extremely patient audience, usually responded to him with a few nods and chirps (叽叽喳喳声). Albert’s parents also loved Lucky. They regarded it as a family member.
In the course of time, Lucky gradually recovered and started to hop (脚跳) and jump a little bit and exercise its wings. That made everyone happier. Soon it would be able to fly. How wonderful!
But what then Albert became thoughtful and started to think. “If Lucky started to fly, it could simply fly away one day.” But that would not happen. Albert loved his friend so much that he couldn’t imagine parting with it. He wondered, “I should surely stay with Lucky forever. But how Keep the windows closed all the time That was not practical.”

参考范文：
One possible version:
Then, he bought a small cage and kept Lucky in it. In the beginning, Lucky seemed fine inside it. He believed he had made the right choice to keep Lucky close and secure. However, as time passed, things took a turn for the worse. After a fully recovery, Lucky wanted to spread its wings and fly in the sky. When all its attempts failed, what Lucky could do was sitting inside the little cage and squawking sadly. Several days later, Lucky refused to eat and drink. Worried and confused, he didn’t know what to do about it. Knowing the bad situation, Albert’s parents decided to help Lucky and their son. They told their son, “If you really love Lucky, you should think of how to make it happy.” After careful consideration, Albert opened both his heart and the cage. Lucky was released and flew away. Two weeks later, a wonderful thing happened: Lucky returned, flying around Albert and chirped happily, seeming to say thanks to him. This had happened from time to time since then. Instead of losing a forced friend, Albert had made a permanent one.

You need to be away from city lights and go to the countryside.(瞥见极光最好时机是在寒冷冬天的晚上，天空很清澈，全黑，没有月光，也没有云。你需要远离城市灯光，去到乡下)”可知，在没有月光和云彩的农村地区寒冷的冬夜，你最能欣赏北极光。故选A项。

推理判断题。根据文章第四段“On the drive home, I didn’t take my eyes off it. I forgot all about the eternity ring. I just couldn’t believe how this old ring suddenly sparkled the way it had the day Charlie gave it to me. I had taken it for granted these past years, but with a little polish it could still make my heart beat fast.(在开车回家的路上，我目不转睛地盯着它。我把永恒戒指的事全忘了。我只是不敢相信这枚旧戒指突然又像查理送给我的那天一样闪闪发光。在过去的几年里，我认为这是理所当然的，但只要稍微润色一下，它仍然能让我心跳加速。)”可知，作者在回家的路上眼睛一直盯着那枚结婚戒指，因为它经过擦拭后重新放出了光芒，犹如丈夫刚给她的那天一样，即那枚旧戒指的光芒吸引了她的注意，早已忘记他们是要去买“永恒戒指”。故选B。
推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句“And that’s the way it is with a marriage. You have to work at keeping it polished and new, or else the grime (污垢) of the passing years will hide the joy.(婚姻就是这样的。你必须努力保持它的光亮和新鲜，否则过去岁月的污垢会掩盖喜悦。)”可知，作者认为对待婚姻也应该像对待那枚戒指一样，经常除垢，经常发现婚姻生活中的闪光点，使婚姻保持新鲜。由此可推知，作者在最后一段主要想表达婚姻要不断打磨。故选D。
