9.A winter wonderland on the outskirts of Quebec City has become one of Canada's hottest attractions and most sought out accommodations.Guests stay close for warmth in sleeping bags on beds of ice,hats pulled over their ears to prevent frostbite,while sipping cocktails (雞尾酒) in glasses also made of ice.
A cool place to host a memorable wedding or for a romantic getaway,the Quebec Ice Hotel has attracted 600,000 curious tourists,including 30,000 who stayed overnight,since opening seasonally 11 years ago.Like Victoria and Jeremy Martin,dozens of couples will exchange vows (誓約) this winter in a temporary church next to the hotel,sculpted entirely from blocks of ice with seats covered in furs.
Average temperatures fall below minus 20 degrees C (minus four F) in winter,but inside the hotel's 36 rooms it is relatively cozy.Thick walls of packed snow and ice act as an insulator,trapping body heat inside.Each room is uniquely decorated,using designs created by Quebec architecture students.Two hotel bars also sell special cocktails in ice glasses.
First-time guests of the hotel,however,are recommended to stay only one night as sleeping in sub-zero temperatures is not very refreshing.This year for the first time the ice hotel has teamed up with a bricks and concrete Quebec City hotel to offer packages for one-night accommodations at each.Prices for one night only at the ice hotel start at 200 US dollars per person.
The 3,000-square-metre (32,300-square-feet) buildings take six weeks starting in December to build,using 15,000 tonnes of snow and 500 tonnes of ice,at a cost of some 750,000 US dollars.Eleven weeks after its seasonal grand opening,the hotel will close on March 27 and then melt away with the arrival of spring.
56.What is true with the ice hotel?D
A.630,000 people have visited it
B.30,000 people visit it each year.
C.It has stayed open for many years
D.Wedding ceremonies are often held there.
57.The underlined word"insulator"in Paragraph 3 possibly refers to something thatA
A.stops heat passing through   it          B.collects and reflects light and heat

58.What can we learn about the hotel rooms?B
A.It can be-20°C inside.B.The temperature is always below 0°C.
C.The rooms all look alike.D.Each room costs $200 per night.
59.First-time guests are advised to stay there only one night becauseA.
A.they may not be able to stand the cold
B.their other night is with an ordinary hotel
C.new guests have less advantages over old ones
D.the first-day service is just for a test run
60.If you choose to visit the ice hotel during the Christmas season,you'll findB

B.it is just being built
C.most of its rooms are vacant        
D.it is crowded with guests.

20.Best bike-sharing cities in the world
When Citi Bike rolled onto the streets of New York this Memorial Day,it was treated as a national event and even international media took notice.In advance of the launch,one blog post on Le Monde's website claimed,"Bike share to conquer America."
The next major development was in Copenhagen,which introduced a coin-operated system in 1995 called Bycyklen,or"City Bike."For 17 years,these bikes zipped through the streets of Denmark's capital until the program was shut down late last year-it's getting an upgrade to third generation technology.
Sponsored by media giant Clear Channel,the French city of Rennes brought the next generation of bike share to the world in 1998 by replacing coin operation with card access and electronic booths.From there the technology has progressed,picking up GPS and real-time tracking along the way,and has spread throughout Western Europe-and the world.
According to the Bike Sharing World Map,maintained by DeMaio and Russell Meddin of Bike Share Philadelphia,there are 553 bike share programs in operation worldwide and another 193 in planning or under construction.
And they're not just in Europe and North America.The worldwide leader in bike sharing,as measured by the number of bikes,is China.According to data collected by the Earth Policy Institute,20 of the 25 largest bike share programs are Chinese.Its largest one,in the city of Wuhan,has twice the number of bikes as all of France's shares combined.
Although most of the systems share several characteristics-bikes with low theft value,electronic docking stations,ranked payment scales-different cities are trying different ways to make bike sharing work.
Take a look at Hangzhou,China,this city of 6.2 million near Shanghai,and you'll see what just may be the best bike share in the world.Although now second on the planet (and China) by size,the Hangzhou Public Bicycle system is one of the densest shares,and probably the most extensively used one,anywhere,largely because of its mixing into public transport:a single card grants access to subway,bus,ferry,taxi and bike share.Residents and tourists alike can put down a deposit of 200 Chinese Yuan (about 33)andrideforanhourforfreeinthissceniccityontheYangtzeDelta.Eachadditionalhouristheequalofonly0.15-one reason why riders put in a quarter-million rides a day.By 2020 it's projected to have 175,000 bikes.
71.What does the blogger mean by the underlined part"Bike share to conquer America."?C
A.Bike share is a national event.B.Bike share attracts international media.
C.Bike share is popular in America.D.America is a kingdom of bikes.
72.In 1995 citizens in the French city of Rennes can get access to bike shareAA.by putting coins into the system                             
B.by inserting a card into the system
C.by showing ID card to the booths                           
D.by boarding the docking station
73.Which of the following countries has the most bikes?D
A.America.B.Denmark.C.France.D.China.
74.Which of the following statements is TRUE about bike share?C
A.No thief will steal bikes
B.The payment is the same among cities.
C.Any city has her own way to operate it
D.There is no competition between cities.
75.If you tour in Hangzhou you can find the bike share there isB.
A.the most advanced in the world                              
B.a(chǎn) most successful example
C.free for local people                                                    
D.a(chǎn)vailable at scenic spots.

17.Almost anywhere in the world,you can probably see graffiti (涂鴉畫).Although it's usually more common in big cities,it can be found in almost any community,big or small.
The problem with graffiti art is the question of whether it's really art.This isn't always an easy question to answer,simply because there are so many different types of graffiti.While some simply consists of collections of letters,known as tags,with little artistic value,such examples are easy to find,especially on larger spaces such as walls.
If it weren't for the fact that most graffiti is placed on private property without permission,it might be more commonly recognized as a legal form of art.Most graffiti,however,annoys the property owner,who is more likely to paint over it or remove it than accept it as art.
Many ways of removing graffiti have been developed,such as paints that  dissolve graffiti paint,or make it easy to remove.Community groups and government departments often organize graffiti-removal teams.
It hardly makes sense to encourage artists to deface (丑化) private or public property; but perhaps there are ways to work with them rather than just oppose them.Graffiti artists can,for example,create murals (壁畫) for property owners,and get paid for them.
Maybe we need to start at a very basic level,and find a way to encourage the creation of graffiti art on paper or canvas rather than on walls.After all,who would remember Monet or Picasso if they'd created their masterpieces on walls,only to have them painted over the next day?Finding a solution to such a complex problem is never going to be easy,but with more and more graffiti art being recognized in galleries around the world,we do need to try.

66.What would be the best title for this passage?D
A.How to Be a Good Graffiti Artist.B.Stop Removing Graffiti!
C.Do You Like Graffiti?D.Is Graffiti Art?
67.The reason why people remove graffiti is that itA.
A.makes buildings ugly                  B.has no artistic value at all
C.robs private property                   D.takes up too much space
68.In Paragraph 4,the underlined word"dissolve"is closest in meaning toC.
A.change         B.flow          C.remove           D.freeze
69.The example of Monet and Picasso are mentioned in the passage to indicate thatD.
A.they are world-famous artists
B.they are good at graffiti
C.walls are right places to keep their masterpieces
D.their works,if painted on the wall,might not be kept long
70.The writer's attitude toward graffiti is that graffitiD.
A.should be removed by more countries      B.should be saved on larger spaces
C.should be created only on paper or canvas     D.may be accepted as art.

4.Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺騙)?When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out important information that should be included,he can give you a false picture.
For example,someone might say,''I just won a hundred.dollars on the lottery(彩票).It was great.I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!".This guy's a winner,right?Maybe,maybe not.We then discover that he bought$200worth of tickets,and only one was a winner.He's really a big loser!He didn't say anything that was false,but he left out important information on purpose.That's called a half-truth.Half truths are not technically lies,but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians often use this trick.Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term,her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.Then she seeks another term.One of her  opponents says,"During Governor Smith's term,the state lost one million jobs!"That's true.However,an honest statement would have been,"During Governor Smith's term,the state had a net gain of two million jobs."
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths.It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth.An advertisement might say,''Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache.''It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of deception happens too often.It's a sad fact of life:Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

31.The underlined word"opponents"in Paragraph 3meansA.
A.enemy    B.partner    C.cooperator   D.a(chǎn)ssistant
32.We may infer that the author believes people shouldC.
A:.buy lottery tickets if possible    B.make use of half-truths
C.be careful about what they are told D.not trust the Yucky Company
33.How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?C
A.One.    B.Two.    C.Three. D.Four.
34.Which of the following is true according to the passage?D
A.Using half truths is against the law.
B.Technically,half truths are in fact lies.
C.Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.
D.Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.
35.which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?B
A.He's really a big loser!
B.Sometimes the truth can lie as well.
C.Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.
D.It's against the law to make false statements.

14.Present or Future?
Americans are future-minded.They really live in the future.The present is just a way station. This enthusiasm for the future is really not shared even by all European countries.The French are known to be present-minded while the British are often called past-minded.For Japanese Zen followers,time is like a pool of water.Things just happen.There is no past,present or future.Egyptians are well known for their past mindedness.
I did not grow up with a telephone.So the Yellow Pages were something brand new for me when I first arrived in the U.S..I still had the habit of going to a store only to find out that it didn't have what I needed.My wife used to ask,"Didn't you call before going there?"The concept of calling ahead of time requires planning and a future mind,while my upbringing was in a present-minded culture.
One thing my nuclear family enjoys when my mom visits is her cooking.So normally I ask my mom a couple of days in advance what things she needs for the upcoming meals.She is always sure that she has everything.The truth is that many times,in the middle of cooking,she will ask for items we don't have.That shows a present mind.You deal with it when you get there instead of doing advanced planning.
Listening to weather forecasts and then living your life accordingly is a sign of a future mind. Normally,when I get to work and see everyone walking around with their umbrellas,I figure that it will rain today.Here people are trained from their childhood to figure out at least that day's expected weather before leaving the house.I am normally missing my umbrella because it was not raining and the sky did not have dark clouds.Here my present mind gets me wetevery time.
Mainstream Americans have put inside themselves the clock to a degree which is beyond the comprehension of many cultures across the globe.So the annoyance many Americans face when working with people from other cultures is understandable.In today's dialogue,building the bridge to the 21st century may turn out to be easier than building bridges with other cultures,which may appear to be so foreign.However,they are vital partners for our interdependent life on this planet.

60.The author was most likely born inB.
A.America       B.France    C.Britain    D.Egypt
61.Which is true about the author?A
A.He was more future-minded than his mother.
B.He received most of his education in Japan.
C.He learned to check the weather before going out.
D.He disliked calling the store before going shopping.
62.What's the main idea of the last paragraph?D
A.Americans value time more than any other culture.
B.Americans should be understood by other cultures.
C.Communication between cultures is easier than before.
D.Harmony should be achieved despite cultural differences.
