【題目】January means it’s time for coats and gloves and cold weather. While many of us are preparing ourselves for the cold weeks ahead, in some cities winter is the “hottest” season of all because it’s the time for winter festivities.

Every year 2 million people visit the Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan. This internationally well-known event began in 1950, when some local high-school students built six snow statues in Odori Park. Since then, the festival has grown to include lots of snow sculptures as well as a snow-sculpting contest that draws competitors from all over the world.

In December, Finland created its 13th annual Snow Village, which will remain open until April, if weather permits. Snow Village lies nearly 200 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. The village is designed by builders skilled in working with snow and ice. Visitors can take a tour of the village, eat in a restaurant made of ice or go dancing in the disco igloo(拱形圓頂小屋). They can also spend the night in a hotel made of snow. There’s even an ice chapel(小禮拜堂) for couples who want to get married in Snow Village.

Since 1935, the Fur Rendezvous has been held every February in Anchorage, Alaska, America’s most northern state. Among the festival’s many attractions is the World Championship Sled Dog Race, which draws sled dog teams from many countries. Dogs also take center stage in the Dog Weight Pull, in which dogs compete to see which one can pull the heaviest weight. The festival features sports like skiing, basketball, boxing and softball as well as the Grand Prix Auto Race in downtown Anchorage. True to the festival’s name, there’s also a fur auction(拍賣), where buyers buy real Alaskan furs. The first Fur Rendezvous lasted only three days. Now it’s a 10-day event that attracts thousands of visitors.

本文為應(yīng)用文。主要介紹了日本冬季的幾種節(jié)日慶�；顒�(dòng)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的內(nèi)容可知，本段主要講述了日本的札幌雪節(jié)是從1950年開始的，敘述了如何開始的，但沒有提及它持續(xù)多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間，誰負(fù)責(zé)這件事及參加它要花多少錢。分析選項(xiàng)可知A 符合題意，故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句There’s even an ice chapel(小禮拜堂) for couples who want to get married in Snow Village. 甚至有一個(gè)冰雪小禮拜堂，可供那些想要在雪村結(jié)婚的夫婦用。由此可知，在那兒有室內(nèi)婚禮供。分析選項(xiàng)可知C項(xiàng)符合題意。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知，在the Fur Rendezvous節(jié)上，其中的一個(gè)看點(diǎn)就是世界錦標(biāo)賽雪橇狗比賽，吸引來自許多國(guó)家的雪橇狗隊(duì)，由此可推斷出在節(jié)日里可遇到各種不同的雪橇狗。比賽中看哪只雪橇狗拉的最重。這個(gè)節(jié)日的特色是滑雪、籃球、拳擊和壘球等運(yùn)動(dòng)，還有一個(gè)皮草拍賣會(huì)，買家可購買真正的阿拉斯加皮草。由此可知A、B和C項(xiàng)都是錯(cuò)誤的，只有D項(xiàng)是正確。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，第二段第一句Every year 2 million people visit the Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan.第三段第一句Finland created its 13th annual Snow Village,第四段第一句Since 1935, the Fur Rendezvous has been held every February in Anchorage可知這三個(gè)節(jié)日的共同點(diǎn)就是每年都舉行，分析選項(xiàng)可知B項(xiàng)符合題意。

【題目】 Empathy (同理心)is one of those strange qualities—something almost everyone wants, but few know how to truly give or receive it. In a world where self-satisfaction is emphasized, it is in short supply but high demand. This is all the more reason to teach the next generation what it means to have empathy for those around them.

What Is Empathy?— Many people confuse sympathy and empathy, but they are two distinct values. Empathy is not just the ability to understand someone's feelings; criminals often take advantage of people by appearing to understand their feelings and subsequently gaining their trust. Empathy is more than that. Not only is it the ability to recognize how someone feels, but it also values and respects the feelings of another person. It means treating others with kindness, dignity, and understanding.

Kids Need To See Adults Show Empathy—While some children are gifted with naturally kind hearts, in most cases kids need to see empathy modeled by the adults around them. It begins with the way parents relate to their children. Parents who show an interest in the things that matter to their kids and respond to emotions in a positive and caring way are teaching the skill of empathy.

Meet Emotional Needs—When children have their emotional needs met, two things happen. They learn how to meet the emotional needs of others and they are anchored in what they are receiving, meaning that they are secure enough to give to others when the need arises but first they need to receive. An empty jug cannot fill a cup.

It's a good idea to talk to kids about emotions and how other people experience them. Give their emotions names (for example, jealousy, anger, and love) and teach them that these are normal. Talk to them about how to handle emotions in a positive way and point out situations where other people are experiencing emotions. Teach them about respecting the emotions of others and show them how to act in a situation where a response is required.

【1】Why is it that the next generation are taught to have empathy?

A.Because people tend to center themselves.B.Because everyone lacks empathy.

C.Because empathy is a strange quality.D.Because it's better to give than to receive.

【2】Which situation can empathy be used in?

A.When a mathematician is calculating the area of a farmland.

B.When a teacher is comforting a student about his failure in exams.

C.When a criminal is cheating a victim.

D.When a dancer is dancing to music.

【3】What does the underlined sentence "An empty jug cannot fill a cup" mean?

A.An empty jug is too small to hold a cup.

B.It's a must to talk to kids about emotions.

C.Adults should set an example to kids.

D.Kids give empathy with their emotional needs met first.

【4】What is the main topic of the passage?

A.How to train kids to have empathy.

B.How to distinguish sympathy and empathy.

C.How to help kids finish empathy-related tasks.

D.Whether kids can be trained to be more empathetic.
