【題目】If you think it is cold where you are at the moment, then a visit to the Russian village of Oymyakon might just change your mind. The small village is in the heart of Siberia(西伯利亞). The name Oymyakon means “non-freezing water” because of a nearby hot spring, but it is indeed the coldest inhabited(有人居住的) place on the earth.

Oymyakon sits just a few hundred miles from the Arctic Circle(北極圈). The average(平均) temperature remains below 50°C in winter and the lowest temperature there was 67.7°C. This is the lowest recorded temperature in the Northern Hemisphere(北半球). Oymyakon is white in winter, since everything is frozen and covered with thick snow. But it’s also dark—the length of daytime is only three hours.

Because of the weather, people’s life there is inconvenient(不方便的), yet simple and traditional. Most homes still burn coal and wood for heat. When people go outside, they have to wear fur coats to stay warm. They can’t wear glasses, or the glasses will freeze to their face. There are few modern conveniences for them to enjoy. People don’t use mobile phones, because the batteries(電池) cannot work in such low temperatures. Cars can only be placed in heated garages. The ones left outside must keep running, or they won’t restart.

【1】Which country does the village Oymyakon lie in?

____________________________________________

【2】How far is it from Oymyakon to the Arctic Circle?

____________________________________________

【3】Which season has the shortest daytime in the village Oymyakon?

____________________________________________

【4】What do the villagers wear when they go outdoors?

【5】Why can’t the mobile phones be used in Oymyakon?

____________________________________________

【答案】

【1】Russia

【2】A few hundred miles.

【3】Winter.

【4】Fur coats

【5】Because the batteries cannot work in such low temperatures.

【解析】【主旨大意】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了俄羅斯的一個(gè)叫做Oymyakon的小村莊的氣候以及那兒的人們的生活方式。

【1】題意：Oymyakon位于哪個(gè)國家？根據(jù)第一段第一句“If you think it is cold where you are at the moment, then a visit to the Russian village of Oymyakon might just change your mind.”可知，如果你認(rèn)為現(xiàn)在你在的地方很冷，那么去俄羅斯的Oymyakon村可能會(huì)改變你的想法，所以Oymyakon村在俄羅斯，故答案是Russia。

【2】題意：從Oymyakon村到北極圈有多遠(yuǎn)？根據(jù)第二段第一句“Oymyakon sits just a few hundred miles from the Arctic Circle(北極圈). ”可知，Oymyakon位于離北極圈僅僅幾百英里的地方，故答案是A few hundred miles。

【3】題意：在哪個(gè)季節(jié)Oymyakon村的白天最短？根據(jù)第二段最后兩句“Oymyakon is white in winter, since everything is frozen and covered with thick snow. But its also dark—the length of daytime is only three hours.”可知Oymyakon村的冬天是白色的，因?yàn)橐磺卸急粌鼋Y(jié)，被厚厚的雪覆蓋著。但是村子又很暗，白天只有三小時(shí)�？芍�，Oymyakon村冬天的白天時(shí)間最短，故答案是Winter。

【4】題意：當(dāng)村民們出門時(shí)，他們穿什么？根據(jù)第三段第三句“When people go outside, they have to wear fur coats to stay warm. ”可知，當(dāng)人們外出時(shí)，他們必須穿皮大衣保暖，故答案是Fur coats。

【5】題意：為什么在Oymyakon村手機(jī)不能被使用？根據(jù)最后一段倒數(shù)第三句“People don’t use mobile phones, because the batteries(電池) cannot work in such low temperatures.”可知，人們不使用手機(jī)，因?yàn)殡姵卦谶@樣的低溫下無法工作。故答案是Because the batteries cannot work in such low temperatures。

【題目】If you want to study abroad, have you thought about where to live? I’ve been living and studying in Canada for about nine months. As I’m still too young to rent an apartment by myself. I live with a homestay family and I feel like I’m part of it.

The first time I had a homestay was in 2013. During that time, I stayed in Ajax, a town in Canada, for a week and lived with a homestay family. Carlton lives with his nephew and his niece-in-law. Carlton drove me to an international school to learn about Canadian culture every morning, and he picked me up in the afternoons. Our leisure time was in the evening. The meals he made for me were delicious and we usually watched a movie after dinner. All experiences left an unforgettable impression on me, even if I didn’t live there for a long time.

I’m now living with a Hungarian(匈牙利) family with another Chinese boy. There are two family members--- Mrs Perger and her son, Robert. I’ve already lived here for nine months and I have been deeply moved by many things they’ve done. Once, my roommate went running and didn’t come back for quite a long time. Mrs Perger called him, but he didn’t answer the phone. She began to worry about him, and was even about to cry.

However, living with a homestay family also has its disadvantages, especially when living with a foreign family. The biggest challenge for me has been the totally different lifestyle, which took me a long time to get used to.

Living with a homestay family has given me a lot of new experiences. It has taught me how to communicate with different people. Moreover, when different lifestyles and cultures meet together, I have seen that the spark(火花) they make are spectacular(壯觀的).

【1】How many people are there at Carlton’s before the writer lives with them?

A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.

【2】What can we learn from the article?

A. The writer hasn’t got used to the different lifestyle yet.

B. The writer has been deeply moved by what the Pergers have done.

C. The writer has been living with a Canadian family for nine months.

D. The writer chose a homestay family for he couldn’t afford the apartment rent.

【3】Which of the following shows the character of Mrs Perger properly?

A. Careful and caring. B. Outgoing and brave.

C. Strict and challenging. D. Outgoing and humorous.

【4】What’s the best title of this passage?

A. Life about the Canadian homestay families

B. Disadvantages of living with a homestay family

C. Experiences of living with foreign homestay families

D. Suggestions for those who want to live with homestay families

【題目】閱讀下面的短文用英語回答問題，并將答案寫在橫線上。

It was a summer afternoon in the countryside. Wan Bo, a university student, was painting while his classmate Tang Qi was making a wooden box by the river. A little riding on a rocking horse caught their eye by chance. It brought them back to their childhood, warm and happy.

"Why not try to make one by ourselves?" said Wan Bo. "You are good at making things and I am interested in painting."

"Actions speak louder than words," Tang Qi said. Then, the two young men began to collect some information about it. During those days, watching videos about caring(雕刻) and shaping wood into horse shapes on the Internet became an important part of their life.

Several months later, a wooden rocking horse appeared. They felt so excited that they put the picture of it on the Internet right away. To their surprise, it attracted lots of people's attention and some even hoped to order one.

The two young men thought it might be a good chance. They sent some forms to the customers to make a survey. According to the result, they made each customer a special rocking horse. These horses were quite different from those produced in other factories, and they soon became popular among the customers.

In the first year of their new hobby, Wan and Tang made thirteen rocking horses. Sometimes, they also repaired rocking horses for people. They made the old ones look new again. Wan and Tang helped those people bring back many happy memories.

Their hobby has now become a successful and busy business.

【1】How many rocking horses did they make in the first year of their new hobby?

_________________________________________________________________________

【2】What did the forms help Wan and Tang to know about'?

________________________________________________________________________
