In an effort to inform our citizens of clearing the street snow,the city adopts a snow removal plan.
Routes used by City Emergency Services come first. Secondly,connected streets will be cleared,which allows citizens the greatest access to public roads. And thirdly,roads within neighborhoods will be cleared.
Snow removal and ice control will start when:

The Today show's Kathie Lee Gifford is hoping to bring the story of David to a new generation with her latest musical project,The Little Giant.
The 13song album tells the story of the shepherd (牧羊人) boy who defeated a giant with five stones and a slingshot and became a king. The idea of the record came after Gifford and her husband Frank went on a lifechanging trip to the Holy Land back in 2012.
Gifford hoped to shine light on David's story to help a new generation find their own purpose;it's why she decided to compose this album that invites kids to hear the tale of the shepherd in a fun and educational way. Gifford based the record's opening track What Is Your Stone on bravery and faith. She hopes the songs can help children find confidence in themselves.
Though the album is aimed at families and children,Gifford found recording the story of David to be an exercise in healing after the death of her beloved husband Frank who passed away two years ago.
“I catch myself saying that I lost him sometimes,” Gifford says.“No,he hasn't been gone. The trip took root in my husband's life,because he truly came to understand exactly what David did.”
Gifford says the trip and the teachings stayed with her husband until his death.“For the next three years,when people came to visit us,they'd always see Frank's trophy (奖杯) room because it's like a museum,” Gifford explained.“He would take them over. Instead of all of his trophies,he would point to the stones we brought back from the travelling destination and talk about them.”
Gifford expects her own journey,her new album and her commitment to bringing a bit of joy to people through her show can help inspire children to discover their own faith and purpose.
24.What was Gifford's main intention of making the album?
A.To honor the meaningful trip. B.To show her love to her husband.
C.To help children find faith and purpose. D.To make children understand David's story.
25.How did the album benefit Gifford?
A.It made her become a superstar. B.It made her win lots of trophies.
C.It helped her plan to have a trip to the Holy Land. D.It helped her recover from the pain of losing Frank.
26.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A.The visitors. B.The stones. C.The trophies. D.The trips.
27.What do we know from the text?
A.David was the hero of many children. B.Gifford finished recording the album in 2012.
C.Frank had won much glory when he was alive. D.The author liked Gifford's songs very much.

We humans love to stare into our smart devices. We gaze for hours—about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day—at our computers,smartphones,tablets and televisions. Is all this staring bad for us?It might be,mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.
Blue light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of energy. While it's true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances,there's no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes. But many people still think it is,which is why blue light blocking glasses are so popular. So do the glasses work?
“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye,but there's no evidence that it may be causing serious damage,” Dr. Rahul Khurana,clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology,told Business Insider.
Blue light exposure is nothing new. In fact,the sun is the largest source of blue light. Moreover,blue light is also present in LED lights. But if blue light isn't harmful,then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we're looking at our screens?The answer is eyestrain (眼疲劳):More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain. And blue light,it seems,isn't the cause. Instead,our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices. So if eyestrain is the real issue,blue light blocking glasses are probably of little use.
28.What do we know about blue light?
A.It is a kind of nuclear radiation. B.It has the shortest wavelength.
C.It may come from electronic devices. D.It consumes a great deal of energy.
29.What causes the popularity of blue light blocking glasses?
A.Evidence of their benefits to eyes. B.Belief in blue light's harmful effect.
C.Widespread use of smart devices. D.Scientific understanding of blue light.
30.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A.Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable. B.Eye problems are not easy to deal with.
C.Blue light may connect with tired eyes. D.Rubbing eyes makes people strained.
31.According to the text,wearing blue light blocking glasses may be ________.
A.tiring B.harmful C.useless D.beneficial
D
What's small,buzzes here and there and visits flowers? If you said bees or hummingbirds,you got it. You wouldn't be the first if you mixed the two up. Now a group of researchers even say we should embrace our history of considering the two together in the same group. The way scientists study bees could help them study hummingbird behavior,too.
Scientists first compared the two back in the 1970s when studying how animals search for food. The idea is that animals use a kind of math to make choices in order to minimize the work it takes to earn maximum rewards. Researchers at the time focused on movement rules,like the order in which they visited flowers,and where flowers were located relative to others. It was “almost like an algorithm (算法)” for efficient searching,said David Pritchard,a biologist at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Hummingbirds and bees had similar solutions.
As the field of animal cognition (认知) appeared,hummingbird and bee research parted. Neuroscientists and behavioral ecologists developed ways to study bee behavior in naturalistic settings. Hummingbird researchers compared hummingbirds to other birds and borrowed methods from psychology to study their ability to learn in the lab. To be fair,hummingbirds and bees differ. For example,hummingbirds have more advanced eyes and brains than bees. Honeybees and bumblebees are social;hummingbirds typically aren't.
But however they perceive (感知) or process information,they both experience similar information, Dr. Pritchard said. In day today searching for food, for example,hummingbirds may rely on more of a bee's eye view than a bird's eye view. Like other birds,they rely on landmarks, distances and directions to make maps when travelling long distances,but they don't use these cues to find flowers. Move a flower just an inch or so away from where a hummingbird thought it was and it will hover over the flower's original location. Dr. Pritchard is investigating if, like bees, hummingbirds engage in view matching—hovering,scanning snapshots of a place to its memory and using those as references later.
32.What is the center of research on hummingbirds and bees in the 1970s?
A.Memory. B.Movement rules. C.Reward calculating. D.Information processing.
33.Which subject's research methods were adopted to study the learning ability of hummingbirds?
A.Math. B.Biology. C.Ecology. D.Psychology.
34.How do researchers find out that hummingbirds are not like birds?
A.By setting them free. B.By moving flowers.
C.By matching views. D.By making maps.
35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Hummingbirds and Bees B.Hummingbirds in the Lab
C.New Trends in Studying Bees D.Thinking of Hummingbirds as Bees

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I just counted how many foreign languages I've studied so far in my life and it's been twelve!
I always follow my interests and find ways to put my language learning into things I'm already interested in. I like to read blogs (博客) in other languages.__36__.For the most part,bloggers tend to write the same way they speak,so I don't have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.
Movies are also a really good tool,especially if you can find subtitles in the language you're learning.__37__,they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language. Music is another way to start listening to things in your new language. Personally,I'm so bad at understanding lyrics (歌词) even in English,so this one doesn't really work for me,but I have friends who learn a language through lyrics. Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language. A lot of language learning computer programs include games. I'm super competitive and if I play any of them,I can be hooked for hours.__38__.
When the initial excitement of learning a new language begins to fade,it can be hard to stick with it. The hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood. I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian.__39__.Ideally I should sign up to take a big language exam. Each time I start getting self-satisfied,it's time to take a new course or sign up for online lessons,or take up some sort of challenge that will require me to level up my skills.
__40__.The best language class I've ever taken was my beginner's Russian course at university where my professor never used any English. It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class,which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had.
A.That's really uncomfortable
B.Whatever languages they're translated into
C.I also try to think in the language I'm learning
D.It's time well spent if I'm learning the language
E.Computer games always make me feel worn out
F.Though they don't always exactly match what's being said
G.I found them the perfect learning tool because they're usually written in oral language

It was a cold and rainy day. I had no 41 to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn’s house. But she 42 I come to see something at the top of the mountain.
43 as I was, I made the two-hour journey 44 the fog that hung like veils (面纱). By the time I saw how 45 it was near the summit, I had gone too far away. Nothing could be worth this, I 46 as I drove slowly along the dangerous highway.

From the top of the mountain to the valleys 51 several acres of daffodils (水仙花) rich in a variety of colors. It looked as if God had painted something gorgeous in front of us. Many questions 52 into my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How? As we approached the home that stood in the centre of the property, we saw a 53 that read: “ Answers to the Questions I know you are asking.” The first answer was: “One Woman-Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.” The second was: “ One at a Time.” The third: “Started in 1958.”
As we drove home, I was so 54 by what we had seen. I could 55 speak. “She changed the world.” I finally said, “one bulb (水仙球茎) at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, and she 56 at it.
The 57 of it would not let me go. I said: “Imagine if I’d had a __58__ and worked on it, just a little bit every day, what might I have 59 ?” Carolyn looked at me sideways, smiling. “ 60 tomorrow,” she said. “Better yet, start today.”

Dear_Sir_or_Madam,
I'm_an_exchange_student_here,coming_from_China. Having learned your library provides service to foreigners,I'm writing to ask for some detailed information about borrowing books.
First of all,I'm eager to know if there are some science fictions,for I am crazy about reading that kind of books. Would you be kind enough to tell me what kinds of books can be borrowed and what kinds of books can only be read in the library or I have no access to?Then,are there any specific rules for our foreigners? I also want to know how much I'll be charged for borrowing and keeping books. Last but not least,when and where can I apply for a library card?How can I reserve one?

The Today show's Kathie Lee Gifford is hoping to bring the story of David to a new generation with her latest musical project,The Little Giant.
The 13song album tells the story of the shepherd (牧羊人) boy who defeated a giant with five stones and a slingshot and became a king. The idea of the record came after Gifford and her husband Frank went on a lifechanging trip to the Holy Land back in 2012.
Gifford hoped to shine light on David's story to help a new generation find their own purpose;it's why she decided to compose this album that invites kids to hear the tale of the shepherd in a fun and educational way. Gifford based the record's opening track What Is Your Stone on bravery and faith. She hopes the songs can help children find confidence in themselves.
Though the album is aimed at families and children,Gifford found recording the story of David to be an exercise in healing after the death of her beloved husband Frank who passed away two years ago.
“I catch myself saying that I lost him sometimes,” Gifford says.“No,he hasn't been gone. The trip took root in my husband's life,because he truly came to understand exactly what David did.”
Gifford says the trip and the teachings stayed with her husband until his death.“For the next three years,when people came to visit us,they'd always see Frank's trophy (奖杯) room because it's like a museum,” Gifford explained.“He would take them over. Instead of all of his trophies,he would point to the stones we brought back from the travelling destination and talk about them.”
Gifford expects her own journey,her new album and her commitment to bringing a bit of joy to people through her show can help inspire children to discover their own faith and purpose.
24.What was Gifford's main intention of making the album?
A.To honor the meaningful trip. B.To show her love to her husband.
C.To help children find faith and purpose. D.To make children understand David's story.
25.How did the album benefit Gifford?
A.It made her become a superstar. B.It made her win lots of trophies.
C.It helped her plan to have a trip to the Holy Land. D.It helped her recover from the pain of losing Frank.
26.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A.The visitors. B.The stones. C.The trophies. D.The trips.
27.What do we know from the text?
A.David was the hero of many children. B.Gifford finished recording the album in 2012.
C.Frank had won much glory when he was alive. D.The author liked Gifford's songs very much.

We humans love to stare into our smart devices. We gaze for hours—about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day—at our computers,smartphones,tablets and televisions. Is all this staring bad for us?It might be,mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.
Blue light is a type of electromagnetic radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of energy. While it's true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances,there's no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes. But many people still think it is,which is why blue light blocking glasses are so popular. So do the glasses work?
“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye,but there's no evidence that it may be causing serious damage,” Dr. Rahul Khurana,clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology,told Business Insider.
Blue light exposure is nothing new. In fact,the sun is the largest source of blue light. Moreover,blue light is also present in LED lights. But if blue light isn't harmful,then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we're looking at our screens?The answer is eyestrain (眼疲劳):More than 60 percent of people experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain. And blue light,it seems,isn't the cause. Instead,our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices. So if eyestrain is the real issue,blue light blocking glasses are probably of little use.
28.What do we know about blue light?
A.It is a kind of nuclear radiation. B.It has the shortest wavelength.
C.It may come from electronic devices. D.It consumes a great deal of energy.
29.What causes the popularity of blue light blocking glasses?
A.Evidence of their benefits to eyes. B.Belief in blue light's harmful effect.
C.Widespread use of smart devices. D.Scientific understanding of blue light.
30.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A.Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable. B.Eye problems are not easy to deal with.
C.Blue light may connect with tired eyes. D.Rubbing eyes makes people strained.
31.According to the text,wearing blue light blocking glasses may be ________.
A.tiring B.harmful C.useless D.beneficial
D
What's small,buzzes here and there and visits flowers? If you said bees or hummingbirds,you got it. You wouldn't be the first if you mixed the two up. Now a group of researchers even say we should embrace our history of considering the two together in the same group. The way scientists study bees could help them study hummingbird behavior,too.
Scientists first compared the two back in the 1970s when studying how animals search for food. The idea is that animals use a kind of math to make choices in order to minimize the work it takes to earn maximum rewards. Researchers at the time focused on movement rules,like the order in which they visited flowers,and where flowers were located relative to others. It was “almost like an algorithm (算法)” for efficient searching,said David Pritchard,a biologist at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Hummingbirds and bees had similar solutions.
As the field of animal cognition (认知) appeared,hummingbird and bee research parted. Neuroscientists and behavioral ecologists developed ways to study bee behavior in naturalistic settings. Hummingbird researchers compared hummingbirds to other birds and borrowed methods from psychology to study their ability to learn in the lab. To be fair,hummingbirds and bees differ. For example,hummingbirds have more advanced eyes and brains than bees. Honeybees and bumblebees are social;hummingbirds typically aren't.
But however they perceive (感知) or process information,they both experience similar information, Dr. Pritchard said. In day today searching for food, for example,hummingbirds may rely on more of a bee's eye view than a bird's eye view. Like other birds,they rely on landmarks, distances and directions to make maps when travelling long distances,but they don't use these cues to find flowers. Move a flower just an inch or so away from where a hummingbird thought it was and it will hover over the flower's original location. Dr. Pritchard is investigating if, like bees, hummingbirds engage in view matching—hovering,scanning snapshots of a place to its memory and using those as references later.
32.What is the center of research on hummingbirds and bees in the 1970s?
A.Memory. B.Movement rules. C.Reward calculating. D.Information processing.
33.Which subject's research methods were adopted to study the learning ability of hummingbirds?
A.Math. B.Biology. C.Ecology. D.Psychology.
34.How do researchers find out that hummingbirds are not like birds?
A.By setting them free. B.By moving flowers.
C.By matching views. D.By making maps.
35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Hummingbirds and Bees B.Hummingbirds in the Lab
C.New Trends in Studying Bees D.Thinking of Hummingbirds as Bees

I just counted how many foreign languages I've studied so far in my life and it's been twelve!
I always follow my interests and find ways to put my language learning into things I'm already interested in. I like to read blogs (博客) in other languages.__36__.For the most part,bloggers tend to write the same way they speak,so I don't have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.
Movies are also a really good tool,especially if you can find subtitles in the language you're learning.__37__,they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language. Music is another way to start listening to things in your new language. Personally,I'm so bad at understanding lyrics (歌词) even in English,so this one doesn't really work for me,but I have friends who learn a language through lyrics. Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language. A lot of language learning computer programs include games. I'm super competitive and if I play any of them,I can be hooked for hours.__38__.
When the initial excitement of learning a new language begins to fade,it can be hard to stick with it. The hardest bit for me is when I'm comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood. I'm actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian.__39__.Ideally I should sign up to take a big language exam. Each time I start getting self-satisfied,it's time to take a new course or sign up for online lessons,or take up some sort of challenge that will require me to level up my skills.
__40__.The best language class I've ever taken was my beginner's Russian course at university where my professor never used any English. It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class,which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had.
A.That's really uncomfortable
B.Whatever languages they're translated into
C.I also try to think in the language I'm learning
D.It's time well spent if I'm learning the language
E.Computer games always make me feel worn out
F.Though they don't always exactly match what's being said
G.I found them the perfect learning tool because they're usually written in oral language

As we approached the home that stood in the centre of the property, we saw a 53 that read: “ Answers to the Questions I know you are asking.” The first answer was: “One Woman-Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.” The second was: “ One at a Time.” The third: “Started in 1958.”
As we drove home, I was so 54 by what we had seen. I could 55 speak. “She changed the world.” I finally said, “one bulb (水仙球茎) at a time. She started almost 40 years ago, probably just the beginning of an idea, and she 56 at it.
The 57 of it would not let me go. I said: “Imagine if I’d had a __58__ and worked on it, just a little bit every day, what might I have 59 ?” Carolyn looked at me sideways, smiling. “ 60 tomorrow,” she said. “Better yet, start today.”

【长难句式】 It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class,which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had.
分析:本句中where引导定语从句,先行词为the point; which引导非限制性定语从句,which代指上文just forget about English while in Russian class“上俄语课忘记英语”这件事;I had作the limited Russian的定语。
译文:我在俄语课上会达到有点儿忘记英语的地步,这帮助我使自己真正沉浸在俄语中,用我有限的俄语做了很多事情。

61.most 考查最高级。根据空前面的one of和定冠词the可知,此处需要用形容词的最高级形式。
62.hundreds 考查数词。hundreds of数以百计的。
63.it 考查代词。use后缺少宾语,因此此处需要用it作宾语,代替tea。
64.which 考查关系代词。此处需要用which引导非限制性定语从句,which在从句中作主语。
65.drinking 考查非谓语动词。have problems/difficulty (in) doing sth.做某事有困难。
66.grows 考查时态。根据全文整体时态可知,此处需要用一般现在时。主语是第三人称单数,因此填grows。
67.to 考查介词。from ...to ...从……到……。
68.to pull 考查非谓语动词。根据句意可知,此处需要用不定式作目的状语。为了容易采茶叶,人们把它们修剪成大约一米高的灌木。
69.easily 考查副词。所填词修饰pull,故填副词。
70.per/a/every/each/one 考查固定表达。per/a/every/each/one day表示“一天”。

第二节 书面表达
One possible version:
Dear_Sir_or_Madam,
I'm_an_exchange_student_here,coming_from_China. Having learned your library provides service to foreigners,I'm writing to ask for some detailed information about borrowing books.
First of all,I'm eager to know if there are some science fictions,for I am crazy about reading that kind of books. Would you be kind enough to tell me what kinds of books can be borrowed and what kinds of books can only be read in the library or I have no access to?Then,are there any specific rules for our foreigners? I also want to know how much I'll be charged for borrowing and keeping books. Last but not least,when and where can I apply for a library card?How can I reserve one?
Looking_forward_to_your_early_reply.
Yours_sincerely,
Li_Hua
【佳句赏析】 Would you be kind enough to tell me what kinds of books can be borrowed and what kinds of books can only be read in the library or I have no access to?
分析:两个what分别引导宾语从句。
译文:你能告诉我哪些书可以借,哪些书只能在图书馆里读,或者我没有权限阅读吗?
