A
What do you know about Sweden (瑞典) Northern lights or Sweden's furniture store, IKEA
However, some Sweden's customs are unique in the world, including the following.
Fika Custom
Fika is the Swedish custom of having coffee, cakes and a chat. This custom, which can be used as a noun and a verb, is so important to Swedish culture that many companies even make fika a rule, since it's believed to be good for employees' mental health.
At work, you might fika once in the morning and then again in the afternoon, and then fika again later with friends!
Flogsta Scream
Every night at about 10 pm, in the city of Uppsala's Flogsta neighborhood, the students of Uppsala University open their windows and scream into the night. It's believed the custom may have been started by students in the 1970s or 1980s to become less stressed around exam time.
Students at Stockholm University also have a neighborhood scream called the Lappkarr Cry, and Lund University has the Delphi Roar.
Donald Duck on Christmas Eve
Every Christmas Eve at 3 pm, families across Sweden sit down to watch the 1958 Disney Christmas Special, which is known in Sweden.
However, it's usually just called Kalle Anka — the Swedish name for Donald Duck. The special was first shown in 1960 on SVTI, the country's only television station at that time.

A．Fika Custom.

C．Donald Duck on Christmas Eve.
D．The 1958 Disney Christmas Special.

Cities, usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896，Dawson，Canada，was unmapped wilderness (荒野)．But gold was discovered there in 1897，and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche (雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold,4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.
4．What attracted the early settlers to New York City

B．They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.
C．They were unable to stand the winter.
D．They were short of food.
7．What is the text mainly about
A．The rise and fall of a city.
B．The gold rush in Canada.

D．Tourism in Dawson.

When people think of Beijing, the hutong style always comes to mind. It is no exaggeration (夸张) to say within hutongs lives the city's history.
The word “hutong” referred to a place where people live, which was borrowed from the Mongolian word to mean “water well” about 700 years ago. Hutongs we see today are made up of small paths formed by walls of siheyuan. They were built during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
When the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, there were more than 3,000 hutongs. Most of the city's population lived in this traditional housing. But with the modernization of the city in the 1980s and early 1990s, many hutongs were pulled down to build roads, skyscrapers and modern houses.
The government has recognized the importance of hutongs to Chinese cultural heritage. In 2002, Beijing listed 40 protected historical zones and increased its efforts to rebuild some key relics and older streets in the city. Nearly 500 hutongs have been survived.
Hutongs that still exist are like oases (绿洲) of calm in the noisy city. Walking through them, it's common to see groups of elderly people sitting together playing cards, mahjong (麻将) or Chinese chess. In the early mornings and evenings, they gather to practice traditional forms of exercise such as Taijiquan as well as dancing and singing folk songs or Peking Opera. Hutongs have become a museum of Beijing's folk customs and history.
8．What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A．To add background information of hutongs.
B．To bring in the topic of the context.
C．To stress the importance of hutongs.
D．To introduce the benefits of hutongs.
9．What happened to hutong in Beijing in 2002
A．More hutongs were built.
B．Lots of hutongs disappeared.
C．Most hutongs became historical zones.
D．Some hutongs were placed under protection.
10．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．The future of hutongs.
B．The change of hutongs.
C．The beauty of hutong life.
D．The history of hutong life.
11．What is the author's attitude towards hutong protection
A．Negative. B．Unclear.

The practice of drinking tea has a long history in China. According to a popular story, tea was discovered by Shennong in 2737 BC when a leaf from a nearby shrub (a low woody plant) fell into the water Shennong was boiling. Tea is deeply woven into the history and culture of China.
The Chinese have a saying：“Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven necessities to begin a day.” Though tea is the last on the list, we still can see its importance in daily life. A simple meal in Chinese is Cu Cha Dan Fan, namely coarse (粗糙的) tea and tasteless dinner. Even a simple meal is finished off with tea.
For the Chinese, tea drinking and tasting are not parallel. Tea drinking can help keep up one's spirit while tea tasting has cultural meaning. Tea and tea sets should match surroundings such as the breeze, the bright moon, pines, bamboo and snow. All these show the goal of Chinese culture：the harmonious unity of human beings with nature.
Tea is compared to personal characters. Its flavour (味道) is pleasant, low key and lasting. A friendship between gentlemen is also like a cup of tea. With a cup of tea in hand, enjoying the green leaves in a white china cup, you will feel the peace. Fame, wealth and other earthly concerns are far away.
Similarly, tea drinking habits vary in different parts of China. Generally, flowering tea is popular in northern China; green tea is preferred in eastern China, and black tea is fit for people in Fujian and Guangdong. Green tea is the most popular type of tea consumed in China. Green tea usually loses its flavour within a year while the flavour of black tea can remain for several years. For this reason, black tea has long been an article of trade. It still accounts for over ninety percent of all tea sold in the West. Tea is commonly available in Chinese restaurants and grocery shops worldwide.
12．Why does the author use the Chinese saying in paragraph 2
A．To show the history of tea.
B．To explain the Chinese saying.
C．To express the author's love for tea.
D．To show the tea's role in Chinese culture.
13．Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “parallel”？
A．Different. B．Similar.
C．Ordinary. D．Traditional.
14．Why has black tea been long traded as goods
A．It has health benefits.
B．It tastes better than other teas.
C．Its flavour is preferred by the West.
D．Its flavour can be kept for a long time.
15．What's the best title for the text
A．Tea culture in China
B．Tea and personal characters
C．The popularity of tea drinking
D．The development of tea drinking

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。
The meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up, spilling his coffee over his notes. “How embarrassing! I am getting so clumsy in my old age.” Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. Someone said，“Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment.”
“My embarrassing moment？” I said and began to fall into the memory of the past，“Honestly, it is the most regretful one for me in my life.”
I grew up in San Pedro. My dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family.
I wish you could have met my dad. He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul weather coat and his bibbed overalls. His rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. No matter how much my mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.
When the weather was bad, he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over, and give me a big kiss on the cheek. It was so embarrassing for me. I was twelve years old, and my dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。
Then one day when we got to the school with his usual big smile, he started to lean toward me.
Tears began to well up in my eyes, as I spoke.

第二节 参考范文：
Then one day when we got to the school with his usual big smile, he started to lean toward me. But I put my hand up and said, “No, Dad.” It was the first time I had never talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. I said，“Dad, I am too old for a good bye kiss. I am too old for any kind of kiss.” My dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear. I had never seen him cry. He turned. “You are right，” he said. “You are a big boy ... a man. I will not kiss you anymore.”
Tears began to well up in my eyes, as I spoke. “It wasn't long after that when my dad went to sea and never came back.” I looked at Bob and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. I spoke again. “Guys, you don't know that I want to have my dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek.”

Cities, usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896，Dawson，Canada，was unmapped wilderness (荒野)．But gold was discovered there in 1897，and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.
Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche (雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold,4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.
But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.

When people think of Beijing, the hutong style always comes to mind. It is no exaggeration (夸张) to say within hutongs lives the city's history.
The word “hutong” referred to a place where people live, which was borrowed from the Mongolian word to mean “water well” about 700 years ago. Hutongs we see today are made up of small paths formed by walls of siheyuan. They were built during the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties.
When the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, there were more than 3,000 hutongs. Most of the city's population lived in this traditional housing. But with the modernization of the city in the 1980s and early 1990s, many hutongs were pulled down to build roads, skyscrapers and modern houses.
The government has recognized the importance of hutongs to Chinese cultural heritage. In 2002, Beijing listed 40 protected historical zones and increased its efforts to rebuild some key relics and older streets in the city. Nearly 500 hutongs have been survived.
Hutongs that still exist are like oases (绿洲) of calm in the noisy city. Walking through them, it's common to see groups of elderly people sitting together playing cards, mahjong (麻将) or Chinese chess. In the early mornings and evenings, they gather to practice traditional forms of exercise such as Taijiquan as well as dancing and singing folk songs or Peking Opera. Hutongs have become a museum of Beijing's folk customs and history.
8．What is the purpose of paragraph 2
A．To add background information of hutongs.
B．To bring in the topic of the context.
C．To stress the importance of hutongs.
D．To introduce the benefits of hutongs.
9．What happened to hutong in Beijing in 2002

10．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．The future of hutongs.
B．The change of hutongs.

D．The history of hutong life.

The practice of drinking tea has a long history in China. According to a popular story, tea was discovered by Shennong in 2737 BC when a leaf from a nearby shrub (a low woody plant) fell into the water Shennong was boiling. Tea is deeply woven into the history and culture of China.
The Chinese have a saying：“Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven necessities to begin a day.” Though tea is the last on the list, we still can see its importance in daily life. A simple meal in Chinese is Cu Cha Dan Fan, namely coarse (粗糙的) tea and tasteless dinner. Even a simple meal is finished off with tea.
For the Chinese, tea drinking and tasting are not parallel. Tea drinking can help keep up one's spirit while tea tasting has cultural meaning. Tea and tea sets should match surroundings such as the breeze, the bright moon, pines, bamboo and snow. All these show the goal of Chinese culture：the harmonious unity of human beings with nature.
Tea is compared to personal characters. Its flavour (味道) is pleasant, low key and lasting. A friendship between gentlemen is also like a cup of tea. With a cup of tea in hand, enjoying the green leaves in a white china cup, you will feel the peace. Fame, wealth and other earthly concerns are far away.
Similarly, tea drinking habits vary in different parts of China. Generally, flowering tea is popular in northern China; green tea is preferred in eastern China, and black tea is fit for people in Fujian and Guangdong. Green tea is the most popular type of tea consumed in China. Green tea usually loses its flavour within a year while the flavour of black tea can remain for several years. For this reason, black tea has long been an article of trade. It still accounts for over ninety percent of all tea sold in the West. Tea is commonly available in Chinese restaurants and grocery shops worldwide.
12．Why does the author use the Chinese saying in paragraph 2
A．To show the history of tea.
B．To explain the Chinese saying.
C．To express the author's love for tea.
D．To show the tea's role in Chinese culture.
13．Which is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “parallel”？
A．Different. B．Similar.
C．Ordinary. D．Traditional.
14．Why has black tea been long traded as goods
A．It has health benefits.
B．It tastes better than other teas.
C．Its flavour is preferred by the West.
D．Its flavour can be kept for a long time.
15．What's the best title for the text
A．Tea culture in China
B．Tea and personal characters
C．The popularity of tea drinking
D．The development of tea drinking

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。
The meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up, spilling his coffee over his notes. “How embarrassing! I am getting so clumsy in my old age.” Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. Someone said，“Come on, Frank. Tell us your most embarrassing moment.”
“My embarrassing moment？” I said and began to fall into the memory of the past，“Honestly, it is the most regretful one for me in my life.”
I grew up in San Pedro. My dad was a fisherman, and he loved the sea. He had his own boat, but it was hard making a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family.
I wish you could have met my dad. He was a big man, and he was strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he smelled like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul weather coat and his bibbed overalls. His rain hat would be pulled down over his brow. No matter how much my mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.
When the weather was bad, he would drive me to school. He had this old truck that he used in his fishing business. That truck was older than he was. As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to disappear. Half the time, he would slam to a stop and the old truck would belch a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over, and give me a big kiss on the cheek. It was so embarrassing for me. I was twelve years old, and my dad would lean over and kiss me goodbye.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。
Then one day when we got to the school with his usual big smile, he started to lean toward me.
Tears began to well up in my eyes, as I spoke.

第二节 参考范文：
Then one day when we got to the school with his usual big smile, he started to lean toward me. But I put my hand up and said, “No, Dad.” It was the first time I had never talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. I said，“Dad, I am too old for a good bye kiss. I am too old for any kind of kiss.” My dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear. I had never seen him cry. He turned. “You are right，” he said. “You are a big boy ... a man. I will not kiss you anymore.”
Tears began to well up in my eyes, as I spoke. “It wasn't long after that when my dad went to sea and never came back.” I looked at Bob and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. I spoke again. “Guys, you don't know that I want to have my dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek.”
