C.Enjoy hot chocolate and apple juice.
D.Play the part of Santa.

2.Which place will attract children who are fond of fictional animal characters?
A.Longleat Safari Park.
B.Enchanted Park.
C.RHS Garden Wisley.
D.Kew Gardens.
A [细节理解题。根据“Festival of Light, Longleat Safari Park, Wiltshire”部分中的“Giant lanterns take the shapes of some of the park's animals, and there are also lots of characters in Beatrix Potter's books, such as Peter Rabbit”可知,在Longleat Safari Park中,巨型灯笼以一些动物的形状呈现,并且也有许多Beatrix Potter书中的动物角色,这样会吸引喜欢虚构的动物角色的孩子。故选A项。]
3.How much is the admission to Kew Gardens for Mr. Green and his 3-year-old kid?
A.£ 10. B.£ 16.
C.£ 26. D.£ 48.

(2019·福州市质量抽测)A walk through the galleries of Quebec's Montreal Museum of Fine Arts(MMFA) places individuals face-to-face with some 43,000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics to Inuit sculpture.
While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience, a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe(开处方) museum visits as treatment for some illnesses.
“We know that art contributes to neural(神经的) activity,” said MMFA director Nathalie Bondil. “What we see is that being in contact with art can really help your well-being.”
Hélène Boyer, vice president of a Montreal-based medical association, explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter(神经递质) known as the “happy chemical” which helps to lift the mood.
According to Boyer, the small increase in hormones associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise, making museum visits prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity.
The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods. As Bondil notes, spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction. “What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain,” she says. “When you enter the museum, you escape from the speed of our daily life.”
“I am convinced that in the 21st century, culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century,” said Bondil. “Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century, sports were believed to do harm to the body. Just as doctors now prescribe exercise, they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。参观博物馆不仅能让人们接受艺术的熏陶,还能舒缓心情、治疗疾病。
4.What does Hélène Boyer think of museum visits?
A.They can cheer people up.
B.They can reduce physical activity.
C.They can slow down our life pace.
D.They can increase levels of art appreciation.
A [细节理解题。根据第四段“Hélène Boyer, vice president of a Montreal-based medical association, explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter(神经递质) known as the ‘happy chemical’ which helps to lift the mood”可知,一个总部设在蒙特利尔的医学协会的副主席Hélène Boyer解释说,参观博物馆被证明可以提高血清素水平,血清素是一种被称为“快乐化学物质”的神经递质,它有助于振奋情绪;据此可知,Hélène Boyer认为参观博物馆可以帮助人们振作起来,故A项正确。]
5.How do museum visits affect people?
A.Stop them concentrating on pain.
B.Stop them focusing on traditional methods.
C.Encourage them not to be absent-minded.
D.Encourage them to slow their steps while walking.
A [细节理解题。根据第六段中的“What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain”可知,参观博物馆可以让人们逃避痛苦,故A项正确。]
6.What does the last paragraph suggest?
A.Physical activity was popular in the 19th century.
B.Sports are considered to be harmful to the body.
C.Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.
D.Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now.
C [推理判断题。根据尾段最后两句“Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century, sports were believed to do harm to the body. Just as doctors now prescribe exercise, they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA”可知,在19世纪,体育运动被认为对身体有害;现在,就像医生给病人开运动处方一样,人们将能给病人开去蒙特利尔美术博物馆参观的处方。据此可推知,治疗疾病的方法随着时间的变化而改变,故C项正确。]
7.What is the main idea of the text?
A.Museum visits are ideal for the elderly.
B.The happy chemical helps to lift the mood.
C.Peaceful environment helps escape pain.
D.Cultural activities will promote health.
D [主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章第一段通过描述参观蒙特利尔美术博物馆引入本文话题,接着介绍当地医生将给病人开参观博物馆的处方来治疗一些疾病,然后重点介绍了艺术欣赏对人的健康的积极作用,故D项符合文意。]
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2019·洛阳市第二次统考)Can creativity be taught? That's a question without a simple yes or no answer. Creativity may not be able to be taught directly, but what you can get better at is frequently targeting at the circumstances of life which bring the greatest chances for true creative expression. 1 , but more like something which manifests(显现) itself inside those who learn to develop it and create the right conditions for it.
Limit your selection of tools to only the most vital. 2 . You'll be sharper than someone who merely fights with a larger set of tools.
Learn how to be resourceful. 3 . Creativity is not just about creating something new but making old things work better as well. Think of crazy possibilities as well as practical ones. You might find inspiration for a workable solution in one of your ideas.
Don't listen to feedback(反馈) and keep following your own path. The problem of asking for feedback is that the feedback will be given according to the person's past experience. Others will unconsciously push you in a direction that they see as the best. 4 . Just don't let criticism destroy your creativity during the creative process.
5 . Routines are positive if they strengthen a healthy creative consciousness and negative if they destroy that. The key is to discover a creative routine that puts you in a more creative mindset.
A.Creativity is not like a lightning strike
B.Having a routine is actually not a bad idea
C.You can literally do anything you like with them
D.Resourcefulness is about making the most of what you have to work with
E.The more limited your set of tools is, the more creative the output will be
F.This is done with good intentions, but it actually hurts your natural creativity
G.While breaking your routine once in a while to force new ways of thinking is good
【语篇解读】 本文一篇说明文,主要介绍了培养创造力的一些方法。

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了交朋友的三个简单步骤。
1.variety [考查固定搭配。句意:人们用各种各样的方式使用“朋友”这个词。根据句意可知,此处考查固定搭配a variety of意为“各种各样的”。]
2.a [考查冠词。句意:对其他人来说,它可能是一种挣扎。此处struggle为可数名词,表示“挣扎”,且struggle的发音以辅音音素开头,所以用冠词a。]

Ⅳ.概要写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
(2019·浙江临安昌化中学高三上学期期末)Noisy neighbors are a common problem in a society where many people live closely together.Obviously,this issue can be most significant when you share walls or a floor/ceiling with a neighbor in an apartment.A noisy neighbor can make life challenging,particularly if noise continues well into the night,or occurs during early morning hours.This situation needs to be dealt with properly,which requires your ability to keep calm.
You should first attempt to tell your noisy neighbors about the noise.This conversation should be polite,even friendly.It can begin with a statement like“I'm not sure you're aware.”Explain the noise issue briefly,and ask the neighbor to turn down the music,or not to hold parties until 3 a.m.You can also add that you realize they hear your noise too,and you're certainly willing to try to stop anything in your behavior that is creating extra noise.
You should know that not all neighbors are going to respond to your request,and some may respond in a bad manner.If the noisy neighbors,don't change their behavior,the next step should be to write the neighbors a letter.The letter should state the specific grievances(不满) and any dates when the noise was particularly bothersome.For example,if your neighbor has loud gatherings every Friday night that last into the early morning,then write down those dates.
When the noise remains ongoing,you should definitely report it to local authorities.Start with landlords or HOAS and continue with calls to the police department,when absolutely necessary.Often,however,the problem is resolved when the noisy neighbors know you are going to call the police.
Do be aware that you cannot always request noisy neighbors to be quiet.When the noise remains ongoing,it is wise not to respond to noise in an angry or retaliatory(报复性的) fashion.If you have followed through with the steps and letter,don't start banging things around in your home or turning up the music to annoy the neighbors.Simply report their behavior to the appropriate authorities.
