When you think of snowy winter festivals, Sapporo in Japan probably is the first place that comes to mind. In the winter in Japan, there are winter festivals every year in the snowy north that drew great crowds and offer lots of attractions to everyone.

The big one is the Sapporo Snow Festival which is held every year in February on Japan’s snow –covered northern island, Hokkaido. The Sapporo Snow Festival was the first of its kind held in Japan, and it is still the biggest. Every year, 2 million snow lovers gather in Sapporo, the biggest city in Hokkaido, to enjoy the Snow Festival in the first 2 weeks of February. At the festival, there are hundreds of snow sculptures(雕刻品) made by artists from all over the world. Some are a couple of buildings. There are ice sculptures too, and ice bars where you can go and have a cold beer.

The Sapporo Snow Festival was started in the 1950s by a group of high school kids. Bored and shut-in by the cold winter, they began to have competitions making snow sculptures. Every year, more kids joined in, and now the festival draws now artists from 15 different countries. There are also musical performances, light shows, snow slides and big snowballs fights.

Every major area has its own snow festival. One of the most popular is the Iwate Snow Festival. It’s held in the small town of Shizukuishi in early or mid-February. Iwate is also famous for its yearly firework displays, where people can watch the colors reflect off the snow. In Iwate you can see traditional Japanese musicians and dancers perform on floats(彩車).

Some animals apparently can resist cancer by strengthening their immune nervous system in preparation for winter,John Hopkins researchers said on Wednesday.

The scientists said their study was the first to show that the central nervous system,reacting to environmental changes,may spark changes in the body’s immune system(免疫系統(tǒng)) that control the growth of tumors.They said if that was the case,a better understanding of how the process works eventually could lead to new cancer treatments.

Dr.Randy Nelson,an associate professor of psychology at Hopkins,stressed at a meeting of the Society of Neuroscience that further study would be needed to confirm a connection between the length of the day,the animals’ immune system and cancer.More work also would be needed to show that the findings could be applied to human cancer.

Dr.Faye Austin,an immunologist with the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda,said,“It’s a very intriguing observation that the length of exposure to light can affect the growth of a tumor.But I think that the draws really need further work to clarify the mechanics.”

But Austin said the findings were surprising and important,only because they open up a new approach for research.

Studies showed that stress weakened the immune system in animals.They figured that because winter is stressful,the season probably causes exertion (影響) on the immune system.

The researchers reasoned that animals that compensated by boosting (促進) their immune systems as winter approached would have a better chance of surviving and producing offspring.

“In the same way that animals have evolved to select the best time to breed,it struck me that animals ought to be able to predict when conditions would be challenging immunologically.”Nelson said.

1.Dr.Nelson has drawn a conclusion that ________.

A.there is a relation between the length of the day,the animal’s immune system and cancer

B.the findings of animals’ resistance to cancer can be applied to human cancer treatments

C.the length of exposure to light can affect the growth of a tumor

D.there is a new approach for studying the function of central nervous system in the body’s immune system

2.Which season can strengthen the immune system in animals?

A.Spring.     B.Summer.    C.Autumn.     D.Winter.

3.On which of the following subjects can essays be presented at the meeting of the Society of Neuroscience?

A.The nervous system.

B.The treatment of cancer.

C.The ability to produce offspring.

D.The control of the growth of tumors.

第一節(jié) 閱讀理解(共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項中,選出最佳答案。

We’ve talked about snails (蝸牛) and their slow move. But much of the time snails don’t move at all. They are in their shells (殼) —sleeping.

Hot sun will dry out a snail’s body. So at the least sign of hot sun, a snail draws its body into his shell. A snail will die in a heavy rain. So when it rains, a snail does the same thing, too. A snail can sleep for as long as it needs to. It spends all  the winter months in its shell, asleep.

In the spring the snail wakes up. Its body, about three inches long, comes out from the shell. When hungry, the snail  looks for food. Its eyes, at the end of the top feelers (觸角), are very weak. But its sense (感覺) of smell is very strong. It helps the snail to find food and the new greens.

A snail’s mouth is no bigger than the point of a pin (大頭針). Yet it has 256,000 teeth! The teeth are very small, and you can’t see them. If you put a snail in a hard paper box, it will eat its way out! And if a snail wears out its teeth, it will grow new ones.

51. A snail _________.

A. moves more slowly at night        B. has thousands of  feet

C. doesn’t move at all                     D. sleeps much of the time

52. In the sentence “A snail draws its body into its shell”,  the word “draw” means _____.

A. to make with a pencil    B. to push      C. to pul     D. to move away

53. From the story, we know _________.

A. a snail’s shell is very thin               B. a snail can’t see well

C. a snail’s nose is quite short             D. a snail’s body changes                                     in different seasons

A. it feels hungry      B. it is put into a paper box  C. spring is coming   D. it rains heavily
