1．Svalbard Scenery What You Can See
In this remote area，the focus is surely on nature's grand displays.
● Light：During summer months the sun never sets.In winter it never rises，but the northern lights dance across the sky.
● Wildlife：Reindeer and arctic foxes wander on the land，and seals swim offshore.Polar bears can be hard to spot，but that first sighting makes all the effort worthwhile.
● Landscapes：Glaciers and snow covered mountains fill the views.
Photo Tips
If you're a photographer，be prepared for anything at all times because conditions can vary from one moment to the next.To capture both landscapes and wildlife，bring wide-angle and telephoto cameras and a water resistant camera bag or a smart phone case is a must.When composing shots of the scenery，you can include the horizon line to give a sense of the area's vastness.In spring and fall，pay special attention to the scenery at sunrise and sunset.When the light shines on edges of the ice，the ocean looks like a shiny object.
How to Get There
Most visitors fly via Oslo to Longyearbyen，the largest settlement there，which hugs the shore of Spitsbergen island.Because there aren't many reliable roads，exploration is usually done with small ships（fewer than 200 passengers） that can navigate through areas of thick sea ice.You can travel onto the tundra（凍土地帶） and into caves for guided hiking and wildlife watching.
（1）What can visitors see in winter in Svalbard？
A．Sunrise.
B．Sunset.
C．Northern lights.
D．Green mountains.
（2）What are photographers on Svalbard advised to do？
A．Exclude the horizon line

2．Every day since early July，Tiffany Wong has been painting a small watercolor of one woman and then sharing the printing on the Internet，providing background information about each woman.Wong started the project to give more people a chance to learn about the different roles of famous women in history，"We don't really get to learn about them in our school as much，" Wong said."I wanted to make the women's history more available for people so that they wouldn't have to do the research and they wouldn't forget their achievements."
Wong's interest in the women's history started young.As a child in California，she read books about women，including scientist Barbara McClintock，doctor Elizabeth Blackwell and other outstanding women.
The idea to develop her own women's history project was inspired in part by a free course through Harvard X，Harvard University's developer of online courses.Wong has worked there for the past five years after learning international education policy from the university.The Schlesinger Library provided another inspiration for Wong.In 2018，she visited the library's 75th anniversary exhibit，which told the stories of women through 75 documents and objects.
As an artist since childhood，Wong decided her project would include both paintings and research about the women."The written part of the post consumes energy and brain and often takes longer than the painting，" Wong said.Whenever possible，she used original sources and quotes，often referring to papers and other documents.
None of the paintings includes the facial features of the women，which is a painting style that makes the paintings easier to do，while giving people an opportunity to see themselves in the image."I wanted something open，" Wong said. "I wanted people to feel like they could also be these people."
Her subjects occasionally notice her posts.In February，Wong wrote about the career of Merritt Moore，a physicist and dancer with an undergraduate degree from Harvard.Moore share the post with her own followers and left a comment for Wong."Wong!I'm so touched- thank you!Love this! ! !" Moore wrote.
（1）What has Wong begun to do since early July？
A．Paint well-known women in history.
B．Learn to draw with a watercolor brush.
C．Share a painting of herself on the Internet.
D．Collect information about each woman she knows.
（2）What is paragraph 3 mainly about？
A．The sources of motivation Wong got for her project.
B．The cause of Wong's making up the women's stories.
C．The aim of Wong's learning HarvardX's online courses.
D．The reasons for Wong's studying international education.
（3）Which of the following did Wong fund most difficult in her project？
A．Drawing the women's facial features.
B．Selling her paintings on social websites.
C．Doing a questionnaire about famous women.
D．Writing background information for the women.
（4）What can be the best title tor the text？
A．Fight for Equal Rights for Women
B．Learn from Wong's Artistic Career

D．Give Famous Women in History an Opportunity to Draw Themselves組卷：7引用：2難度：0.6 -
3．Swimming in water temperatures of 41 degrees F and below with air temperatures between 6.8 degrees F and-4 degrees F，wearing just a swimsuit，a cap，and a pair of glasses may sound foolish to some.But that is precisely what 400 athletes from 33 countries had to bear in the International Swimming Championships held in Murmansk，Russia.
Organized by the International Ice Swimming Association（IISA），the event was held in a 25-meter-long swimming pool created by carving out slabs （平板） of the 2 foot thick surface layer of ice on Lake Semyonovakaya with chain saws（鋸子）.
Each event also has a strict time limit.Due to the danger of the low body temperature，competitors who are in the water must be pulled out in time.Swimmers do not dive in.Instead，they go into the water slowly using ladders.They must also stay flat in the water at all times and are forbidden to perform turns which could endanger the organs.Upon completing their race，swimmers are quickly led to a recovery center.Once their body temperature stabilizes，they settle down for a hot bath
Jony Warneken said，"There are three reasons why a lot of us do this.There's the physical challenge of actually swimming in water that is below five degrees.We love being out in nature.And the third thing is that the friendship among the swimmers is fantastic."
Jade Perry said，"It's fantastic when I get in the cold water--I'm just free.The most important is that I'm not worrying about work，my house，or anything like that in my life.I'm in the water and I'm just thinking about swimming."
Ice swimming is enjoyed by a few brave souls.However，Ram Barkai，the founder of IISA，is trying to convince Chinese officials to include it as a competitive event in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing，China.While be even persuaded the decision makers to come to the Murmansk Championships，there is no word yet on if he met with any success.
（1）What do we know about the swimming pool？
A．It is 2-feet-wide.
B．It lies in an ice lake.
C．It is as deep as 25 meters.
D．It serves as a recovery place for patients.
（2）What should swimmers do in the competition？
A．Make some turns in the water.
B．Finish swimming at a fixed period of time.
C．Dive into the water as quickly as possible.
D．Find a chance to get out of the water for a hot bath.
（3）What's the main point of ice swimming for Jade Perry？
A．The challenge of the physical body.
B．The happiness of conquering nature.
C．The joy of escaping from the reality.
D．The friendship with other swimmers.
（4）What is Ram Barkai trying to do？
A．Invite some brave swimmers to Murmansk.
B．Make swimming become a more competitive sport.
C．Persuade Chinese swimmers to join the competition.

It was dark and freezing cold outside though it was four o'clock in the afternoon.The wind kept blowing.At that time，the bell rang loudly，and everybody packed their schoolbags and got ready to go home.The teacher dismissed the students，and they walked orderly to the school gate.
David was in Class One，Grade Seven.His mother would come and pick him up from school but today she was absent.David wondered what had happened，but he was not worried at all.It usually took only ten minutes for his mother to get to school by riding an electric bike.David saw his best companion，Tommy，who was his deskmate.Tommy was waiting patiently for his mother as well.They began to talk freely and happily.David congratulated Tommy on his excellent performance in the last math exam.At the same time，Tommy thanked David，without whose help he couldn't have made such rapid progress.Five minutes later，Tommy's mother picked up Tommy and they said goodbye to each other.
David had to put up with his moments of solitude.He had no choice but to wait until his mother came into his sight.However，half an hour passed，and there was no sign that his mother would come.David was determined to walk home.
On his way home，David could hardly see any passers-by.The trees shook with the wind and the leaves fell from them without making any noise.David was lost in thinking what was wrong with his mother.Some terrible thoughts jumped out of his mind."Maybe an accident happened to her.Maybe she got hurt by some robbers.Maybe she was seriously ill." Little David burst into tears and quickened his step.He did not dare to think over the results.What he could do was pray for the safety of his mother and wish everything was all right.
Time slipped away like an arrow.In the short distance，it was his beautiful house with a garden."This must，be the worst experience in my life，" David thought to himself and felt scared.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
