一、阅读理解
Where would you like to go for your New Year vacation? Here are the best ski resorts of comfort and joy during the holidays and the rest of the ski season.
Kitzbuhel, Austria
The most prized downhill on the ski racing calendar, Kitzbuhel also attracts a host of festive fans with its fairy lights, and performances of jazz bands. By day, you can enjoy 230 kilometers of runs over the Kitzbtihel Alps, and fill up on hearty Tyrolean classic foods.
Val Gardena, Italy
This attractive valley is a New Year present waiting to be unwrapped. The three towns that make up Val Gardena—busy Ortisei, peaceful Santa Cristina and the higher Selva—traditionally go big on the festive season, combining their Italian, Austrian and Ladin heritage. The 175-kilometer skiing takes place below the towering Sassolungo mountain.
Alpbach, Austria
Alpbach is often considered Austria’s prettiest village. Low at 1,00 meters, it may not always have snow on the ground. There are 91 kilometers of runs stretching up to 2,025 meters with a beautiful spread of mountain huts.
Stowe, Vermont
Stowe will celebrate its 85th winter of lift service this season and it’s a fine place to enjoy New Year. The skiing, up the road at Stowe Mountain Resort, offers options for all levels through forests from Mount Mansfield, the highest peak in Vermont.
1．What can visitors enjoy in Kitzbuhel?
A．Firework display. B．Running race. C．Spicy food. D．Live music.
2．What may attract visitors to go to Val Gardena during the festive season?
A．The new year gift. B．The busy towns.

3．Which place may have a disadvantage for ski lovers?

A mild-mannered cat by day, at night Rusty was just the opposite. Often, Bill and I would lie in bed quarreling over whether we should let it out to wander in the dark or put up with another sleepless night.
So, instead, we lay in the dark each noisy night and wondered what damage Rusty would do. And always in the morning, if I had forgotten to put the butter in the cupboard, there were marks from a rough, little tongue and once even a paw print.
Something had to give. Bill looked at me straight in the eyes, “Do it.” My reservations were such, however, that it took me several weeks and the loss of nearly a pound of butter to decide we didn’t have much choice.
That night, I put Rusty on his cat bed and patted him a little guiltily on the head. Then I began filling the kitchen sink with about two inches of water. Rusty loved jumping into a damp sink and then tracking water all over the cupboards and across the kitchen floor. According to the article I saved from a website to my folder, cats used to jumping into your sink, but they won’t do it again if they jump in and find a couple of inches of water.
Next, I cleared the cupboards of everything. Then I got out all my metal cookie sheets and a fork to go with each. According to the article, you should support a cookie sheet with a fork. When your cat jumps on the counter, he will knock down the insecurely balanced cookie sheets. What happens next will stop him from doing it a second time.
Everything in place, I slipped onto our bed quietly, waiting. Suddenly, there came an awfully loud noise of metal. A chain reaction of crashes next. Finally, Rusty rounded the corner in the hall heavily and leaped through our doorway onto the foot of our bed, trembling under our cover. And that was the night Rusty, the Midnight Troublemaker, retired.
4．Which of the following best describes Rusty at night?
A．Cold-blooded. B．Adorable. C．Good-tempered. D．Troublesome.
5．What did Bill mean by saying “Do it”？
A．To leave the cat outdoor. B．To give the cat a lesson.
C．To reserve food for the cat. D．To give the cat more butter.
6．What did the writer do before she went to bed that night?
A．Filled the sink with water. B．Laid two traps for the cat.
C．Covered the counter with sheets. D．Cleaned the kitchen thoroughly.
7．How did the author probably feel about the outcome of her effort?
A．Satisfied. B．Disappointed. C．Anxious. D．Regretful.

In May 2012, Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary and the McCann Advertising Agency gathered a group of language experts to name a phenomenon common in the age of the smartphone. They called the phenomenon “phubbing”, and defined(定义)it as “the act of snubbing(无视)someone in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention.” It’s not the usual way words begin to exist.
A month later, the first example of phubbing in a major newspaper appeared in a letter to the editor of The Age, published in Melbourne. Since then, the word has appeared in various media the world over. Phubbing has yet to be fully adopted in the U. S. , but we have collected some evidence of it in use.
On 29 September 2015, James A．Roberts wrote in the Huffinington Post, “In the present case, phubbing is a combination of the words phone and snubbing. To be phubbed is to be snubbed by someone using their cell phone while in your company. The “phubb” could be an interruption of your conversation with someone when he or she uses their cell phone or is distracted by it (steal glances when they think you’re not looking) instead of paying attention to you. Maybe worse, you’ve been phubbed if someone used their cell phone instead of communicating with you while staying close to you. Oh, the shame. ”
The meaning and various forms of the word have yet to settle out. Is it phubbing if you’re staring at your tablet instead of your phone? Is the singular noun (and the base form of the verb) spelled phubb, as in the example above, or phub, as in some other sources? These are the sorts of questions we’ll need answers to before we’re ready to consider phubbing and its relations for entry. In the meanwhile, you can of course use phubbing if you feel the need. It seems we all do these days.
8．What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about phubbing?
A．Its usage. B．Its birth. C．Its influence. D．Its definition.
9．What may phubbing probably lead to according to James A．Roberts?
A．Obvious embarrassment in life.
B．Heavy reliance on cellphones.
C．Complete ignorance by your friends.
D．Permanent breakup of retalionship.
10．What can we learn from the last paragraph about the word phubb?
A．It arouses heated arguments. B．It proves to be settled.
C．It’s not included in a dictionary. D．It’s not difficult to understand.
11．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Where Phubbing Leads Us? B．Why Phubbing Ruins Our Life?
C．What Makes Phubbing Commonly Seen? D．How Phone Snubbing Becomes Phubbing?

Many people think that there should be some sort of universal service around cash, forcing banks to provide it and sellers to accept it. I disagree, but I do understand why they think it appealing.
One of their arguments is that cash is a necessary fallback, the only payment method that society can depend on in the event of nuclear war or natural disaster and therefore businesses should be forced to keep the ability to distribute and collect notes and coins. They think that cash is the backup in a disaster. It really isn’t. When things go really wrong, it is the people who keep their money in cash who suffer the most.
Remember the Japanese disaster of a decade back, where following a severe earthquake off the northeast coast of Japan’s Honshu Island in 2011, a huge tsunami (海啸) towering a hundred feet above the ground went crashing into cities, towns and villages destroying more than 200 square miles. Since Japan remains a cash-based society and a great many people keep their savings in cash in their homes, the disaster led to the unusual phenomenon of safes and cash washing up on beaches. Yasuo Kimura, a former bank employee then aged 7, said that he had many friends who lost everything. “I had tried to convince them to put their money in a bank,” he said. “They always thought it as safer to keep it at home.”
Another argument they make is that electronic payment can be bad for privacy, making cash remain the best backup. They ask “How do you stop data thieves and data brokers from monitoring your buying history?” and suggest paying in cash is the answer. Personally, I think using electronic payments is a better answer, though measures should be taken to enhance privacy-protecting technologies, but that’s a discussion for another day.
12．What makes many people think it necessary to force universal cash service?
A．The duty of banks. B．The need to cut costs.
C．The reliability of cash. D．The demand from sellers.
13．What was one of the results of the Japanese disaster in 2011?
A．The quake destroyed over 200 square miles.
B．100 towers were swallowed by the tsunami.
C．Japanese started to keep money in banks.
D．Many Japanese lost their backup money.
14．What does the author think of electronic payment?
A．It is not good for privacy.
B．It often falls into the wrong hands.
C．It still leaves something to be desired.
D．It is safer than cash payment in every aspect.
15．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Is E-payment Safe? B．Is Cash the Backup?
C．Lessons from a Natural Disaster D．Appeal of Universal Cash Service


二、七选五
Now I live in Paris. Actually, I don’t mind the food or the people, but I do care about the land that is extraordinarily lack of characteristics of hiking. I enjoy being outdoors and hiking, but Paris’s natural resources don’t hold much potential for my bent. So when my dad asked if I wanted to go hiking with him, I was overjoyed. 16 . It turned out that I was too optimistic.
We started our main hike up Flattop Mountain. As we hiked it was much more challenging than I expected. 17 . The path is winding and we saw mountains towering over the green valleys and cliffs that seemed endless. What amazed me most was that thick clouds enveloped the mountainsides. 18 .
I stared up at the top to see how much farther we had to go and I began to worry that I wouldn’t finish it. 19 . It made me doubtful about my persistence (坚持). But when we looked back at the path that faded in the distance, I was filled with fulfillment with seeing how much we had done.
As I was hiking, I started to reflect on how hiking was similar to other aspects of my life. 20 . It reminded me of my struggles in my classes and the difficulties I had to overcome. I spotted that the process of learning isn’t always the most fun, but the fulfillment after seeing how much I had finished just increases the thirst for knowledge, causing me to long for more learning. Looking down at the mountain I was content but never fully satisfied. Having considered a lot, I was determined to pursue the summit (山顶).
A．Hiking could make me fly.
B．Hiking gave time for my mind to wander.
C．I thought I would finish the journey with ease.
D．But I was shocked at the beauty surrounding me.

They screamed out their joy as Peter collected his treasure into his pockets. For Peter, sea shells lay shinning on the peaceful beach, waiting for him, just like stars twinkling（闪烁）in the sky.

The shopkeeper was watching everything and getting amused to see the matured（成熟的）behaviour of the boy. Now the boy came to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, "How much does this doll cost, Sir?”
The shopkeeper was a cool man, who had suffered from something in his life. So he asked the boy with love and affection, "Well, what can you pay?" Peter reached into his clothes for money that was intended for these two little guys' breakfast. Having counted the money, Peter put it carefully on the counter, asking again, 6'Sir, is it enough for my little sister's doll?"

And that was the night Rusty, the Midnight Troublemaker, retired.”(一切就绪后，我悄悄溜上床，等待着。突然，传来一阵巨大的金属声。接下来就是连锁反应。最后，Rusty沉重地绕过大厅的角落，跳过我们的门，跳到我们的床脚上，在我们的被子下颤抖。那天晚上，午夜捣蛋鬼Rusty退休了。)可知，Rusty终于被吓住了，以后应该不会再在晚上影响作者睡觉了，所以她对自己努力的结果是满意的。故选A。
8．B 9．A 10．C 11．D

【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍phubbing这个新词的诞生。
8．主旨大意题。根据第一段“In May 2012, Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary and the McCann Advertising Agency gathered a group of language experts to name a phenomenon common in the age of the smartphone. They called the phenomenon “phubbing”, and defined(定义)it as “the act of snubbing(无视)someone in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention.” It’s not the usual way words begin to exist.”(2012年5月，澳大利亚麦格理词典和麦肯广告公司召集了一组语言专家，为智能手机时代常见的一种现象命名。他们称这种现象为“phubbing”，并将其定义为“在社交场合看手机而不注意的怠慢行为”。这不是文字存在的常见方式。)可知，这一段主要讲述如何产生了“phubbing”这个词，以及它的意思，所以是讲这个词的诞生。故选B。
9．细节理解题。根据第三段“To be phubbed is to be snubbed by someone using their cell phone while in your company. The “phubb” could be an interruption of your conversation with someone when he or she uses their cell phone or is distracted by it (steal glances when they think you’re not looking) instead of paying attention to you. Maybe worse, you’ve been phubbed if someone used their cell phone instead of communicating with you while staying close to you. Oh, the shame.”(被“phubbed”是指在陪同你的时候，那些人一直在用他们的手机，而你被人冷落。“phubb”可能是当某人使用他或她的手机或被手机分心(在他们认为你没有注意的时候偷看他们)而不是注意你时，打断你们的谈话。也许更糟糕的是，如果有人在靠近你的时候使用手机而不和你交流，你一直被冷落。哦，真丢人。)可知，“phubbing”可能会导致你被玩手机的朋友们忽视而感到丢人。故选A。
10．推理判断题。根据最后一段“These are the sorts of questions we’ll need answers to before we’re ready to consider phubbing and its relations for entry.”(在我们准备考虑phubbing和它的相关为词条之前，我们需要回答这些问题。)可知，这个词成为词条之前还有许多问题要处理，因此推断的这个词还没有被收录入字典。故选C。
11．主旨大意题。根据第一段“In May 2012, Australia’s Macquarie Dictionary and the McCann Advertising Agency gathered a group of language experts to name a phenomenon common in the age of the smartphone. They called the phenomenon “phubbing”, and defined(定义)it as “the act of snubbing(无视)someone in a social setting by looking at your phone instead of paying attention.” It’s not the usual way words begin to exist.”(2012年5月，澳大利亚麦格理词典和麦肯广告公司召集了一组语言专家，为智能手机时代常见的一种现象命名。他们称这种现象为“phubbing”，并将其定义为“在社交场合看手机而不注意的怠慢行为”。这不是文字存在的常见方式。)和最后一段“The meaning and various forms of the word have yet to settle out.”(这个词的意思和各种形式还没有确定。)可知，整篇文章都是围绕phubbing这个词来讨论的，从它的诞生，适用范围，到还没有确定的意思和各种形式。因此D项“Phone Snubbing是如何变成Phubbing的？”为最佳标题。故选D。
12．C 13．D 14．C 15．B

【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了是否应该把现金作为对灾难的后备。
12．细节理解题。根据第二段中“One of their arguments is that cash is a necessary fallback, the only payment method that society can depend on in the event of nuclear war or natural disaster and therefore businesses should be forced to keep the ability to distribute and collect notes and coins. They think that cash is the backup in a disaster.(他们的论点之一是，现金是一种必要的退路，是社会在发生核战争或自然灾害时可以依赖的唯一支付方式，因此应该强制企业保持发行和收集纸币和硬币的能力。他们认为现金是灾难中的后备)”可知，许多人认为有必要强制普遍提供现金服务，因为人们认为现金是可靠的。故选C。
13．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Since Japan remains a cash-based society and a great many people keep their savings in cash in their homes, the disaster led to the unusual phenomenon of safes and cash washing up on beaches. (由于日本仍然是一个以现金为基础的社会，而且许多人将现金储蓄存放在家中，这场灾难导致了保险箱和现金被冲上海滩的不寻常现象)”和“said that he had many friends who lost everything. “I had tried to convince them to put their money in a bank,” he said. “They always thought it as safer to keep it at home.”(说他有很多朋友失去了一切。“我曾试图说服他们把钱存进银行，”他说。“他们总是认为把它放在家里更安全。”)”可知，因为日本人的存储现金的传统，很多人把现金存在家里，但这场还导致很多人失去了一切，包括他们的备用资金。故选D。
14．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Personally, I think using electronic payments is a better answer, though measures should be taken to enhance privacy-protecting technologies, but that’s a discussion for another day.(就我个人而言，我认为使用电子支付是一个更好的答案，尽管应该采取措施加强隐私保护技术，但这是另一天的讨论)”可推知，作者认为，电子支付应该使用隐私增强的技术，这样才有保证，即电子支付还需要改进。故选C。
15．主旨大意题。第一段“Many people think that there should be some sort of universal service around cash, forcing banks to provide it and sellers to accept it. I disagree, but I do understand why they think it appealing.(许多人认为，应该有一些普遍的服务周围的现金，迫使银行提供它和卖家接受它。我不同意，但我理解他们为什么觉得这很吸引人)”引出了人们对现金服务的要求；第二段第一句“One of their arguments is that cash is a necessary fallback, the only payment method that society can depend on in the event of nuclear war or natural disaster and therefore businesses should be forced to keep the ability to distribute and collect notes and coins.(他们的论点之一是，现金是一种必要的退路，是社会在发生核战争或自然灾害时可以依赖的唯一支付方式，因此应该强制企业保持发行和收集纸币和硬币的能力)”和第四段第一句“Another argument they make is that electronic payment can be bad for privacy, making cash remain the best backup. (他们提出的另一个论点是，电子支付可能不利于隐私，使现金仍然是最好的备份)”提出了人们要求现金服务的两个原因。由此可知，本文主要讨论了是否要把现金作为后备并提供现金服务，B项“现金是后备吗？”适合作文章标题。故选B。
16．C 17．D 18．F 19．G 20．B

【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。文章中作者通过介绍了自己徒步旅行的经历，告诉我们面对生活中的困难，要勇于面对，坚定地克服困难。

47．Version 1
With his eyes fixed on Peter’s pocket, he wondered what Peter would do. Watching Shirley’s smile fading away, Peter frowned. After a while, he seemed to make up his mind. He took out all the shells from his pocket, giving them to the shopkeeper, who took them and started to count as if he had been counting the money. Then he looked at Peter. Peter asked him, “Is it enough now?” The shopkeeper replied, “These are more than the cost.” Saying so, he kept only two shells and returned the remaining and the money. Peter put those shells back into his pocket very happily, leaving with Shirley holding the doll tightly.
Seeing Peter leaving happily with his sister holding the doll tightly, an assistant in that shop got surprised. He asked the shopkeeper, “Sir! You only charge them for 2 shells?!” The shopkeeper said with a smile, “For us these are shells, but for the boy they are treasures. His love for his sister is the most precious.” Watching the lovely kids until they were out of sight, he continued, “When he grows up, he will remember he purchased a doll for his sister with the shells from a shopkeeper. He will cherish love and warmth in life--cherish every little shining sea shell in his heart.”（196词）
Version 2
With his eyes fixed on Peter’s pocket, he wondered what Peter would do. Hesitantly taking out the treasured sea shells in his pockets, Peter asked in a low voice, “Sir, can these help cover the cost?” Watching the 5-year- old carefully lay down all his shining shells on the counter, the man was somewhat touched, but he just pretended to be counting the shells seriously, “Let me see, one, two…Ok. The shells are just enough. You can take the doll and save the money”. Hearing this, Peter felt truly amazed and thanked the shopkeeper, who actually wanted to thank the two little kids, especially when he saw a big smile quickly spread over the little girl’s innocent face. They said goodbye and left happily with the doll.
Seeing Peter leaving happily with his sister holding the doll tightly, an assistant in that shop got surprised. Since his boss had been in such a low mood recently that he seldom wore any smile and talked much. When the shopkeeper turned around and noticed the assistant’s surprised look, he said smilingly, “lovely kids, aren’t they? When I see the little boy is willing to take all he has to buy a doll for his lovely sister, it really warms my heart.” The assistant replied thoughtfully, “When he grows up, he will remember he purchased a doll for his sister with the shells from a shopkeeper, which will surely warm his heart, too.”（209词）
