4.Snowiest Destinations:Greenland
This frosty getaway is a wonderland like no other.Have you heard the tale that Viking explorers named Iceland and Greenland in order to discourage others from the former so they could keep the discovery of a relatively temperate land-the Iceland-to themselves?Whether the legend is true or not,the difference in climate is-while Iceland offers many wintry activities,Greenland is the place for true ice-and-snow adventures,like a three-day,160-kn,Arctic Circle Race for skiers;hunting by dog sledge;ice fishing in a bay;or a camping trip to the Greenland ice cap,the word's second-largest body of ice.
Snowiest Destinations:Siberia
Even to Canadians,a snowy destination like Russia creates images of endless winter and deep snows.Visit the Russia House tourist centre near Novosibirsk in Siberia to experience a classic Russian winter.Stay in wooden houses,take troika (horse carriage) rides,enjoy traditional Russian cuisine and experience the ban-ya,the Russian-style sauna,complete with a dunk in an ice hole to refresh the senses.
Snowiest Destinations:Sapporo
This wintertime haven calls itself"blessed by snow"and it's no wonder-with an average annual snowfall of 630cm (248 inches),you'd have to find a way to love it.Visit during the February Snow Festival to view snow and ice sculptures and play snow games;the city's White Illumination(照明)brightens dark winter nights with an artistic light display around such themes as Christmas and the starry skies.
 
21.Why did the Viking explorers named Iceland according to the tale?C
A.Because Iceland is really full of ice and snow.
B.Because Iceland is really full of green plants.
C.Because Vikings wanted to make it a secret.
D.Because Vikings discovered it secretly.

Dear Jeremy and Alice,
Although we've been delighted to have you as neighbors,we're hoping to settle something that bothers to us.In a word,your dog-Cleo.We've called several time about Cleo's early morning barking.It is difficult to understanding why she barks every minute she's outside.The early morning barking have been disturbing us as we are often up all night with the baby.Beside,Cleo tends to bark a average of six hours a day.This morning she starts barking even before 5o'clock.That is too much for us,considering how closely the houses are.
We appreciate our apologies and goodwill,but we hope that you can figure a good way of settling the matter.

15.Does handwriting matter?Not very much,according to many educators.However,scientists say it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important.New evidence suggests that the link between handwriting and educational development is deep.
Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand,but they are also better able to create ideas and remember information.In other words,it's not only what we write that matters----but how.
A study led by Karin James,a psychologist at Indiana University,gave support to that view.A group of children,who had not learned to read and write,were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways:draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline(虛線),draw it on a piece of blank white paper,or type it on a computer.Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them the image again.
It was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand without a dotted outline or a computer,the activity in three areas of the brain were increased.These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write.By contrast,children who chose the other two ways showed no such effect.Dr.James attributes the differences to the process of free handwriting:not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable.Those are not necessary when we have an outline.
It's time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children's handwriting.

32.What do scientists mean by saying"it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important"?B
A.Handwriting is not very important to children.
B.Handwriting should not be ignored at present.
C.Handwriting has nothing to do with education.
D.Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.
33.What does"that view"in Para.3 refer to?A
A.How w write is as important as what we write.
B.Children read quickly when they write by had.
C.Children create ideas and remember information.
D.A group of students should know what to write.
34.Which is NOT the children's task in the experiment?C
A.Copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.
B.Draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.
C.Put a brain scanner and show the image again.
D.Type the image directly on a computer.
35.According to the passage,the author obviouslyB  giving up handwriting.
A.is for
B.is against
C.is responsible for
D.doesn't care about.

9.About three decades ago,China was known as the"Bicycle Kingdom".But later on bikes were replaced by their fuel-powered competitors.
But recent months have seen a popularity of bikes across China,with an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of driving to schools,to workplaces or to do sightseeing.The introduction of sharing bikes,pioneered by start-ups (新創(chuàng)辦的公司)like Ofo and Mobike,has brought the trend to a new level.
People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones.The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user.They're popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective solution to the"last mile"problem,which refers to the final part of a person's journey.
"In places where the subway doesn't arrive,where it's difficult to change from one kind of transport to another,it's so easy to get where you want to go with Mobike,"Hu Hong,29,told AFP.She pedals to her work.
However,the plan has also led to various problems.Last month,two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative punishment for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes.And in December,a man who stole a shared bike was sentenced to 3month in prison,and fined 1,000 yuan by the Shanghai Minhang People's Court.
"Bike-sharing is a greener method of transportation,"said Liu Xiaoming,vice-minister of transport."But it's a connection of online and offline business.Operators are usually strong in online services,but lack (缺少) offline business experience,which causes problems."To deal with these problems,the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to stations by rewarding free time for their next rides.

8.Who has made the use of bikes popular again?A
A.The pioneered start-ups.
B.The students and workers.
C.The local government.
D.The businessman.
9.Which of the following doesn't belong to the"last mile"problem?A
A.Missing the business plane for traffic jam.
B.Getting to somewhere the subway doesn't reach.
C.Having trouble in changing from a bus to a taxi.
D.Having difficulty with the final part of a person's travel.
10.What reason causes many problems in bike-sharing?B
A.There are no laws on this business at the moment.
B.Operators have no enough offline business experience.
C.The bike-sharing business is too difficult to run.
D.Some people do damage to the bikes on purpose.
11.What can we learn from the passage?B
A.Cycling is free of charge.
B.Riding bikes comes into fashion again.
C.There are some laws against bike-sharing.
D.A new smartphone disappears in our life.
