1．Winter sports are constantly developing and new sports activities are regularly being created.This makes sure your next holiday in the snow is an unforgettable experience.
Snow biking
The snowbike - a cross between a bicycle and skis - guarantees pure fun and a unique skiing experience for snow fans above six.Snowbikes can be used on well-cared-for slopes（斜坡）and riders navigate the slopes with the additional help of short foot skis.And it can be ridden without the rider having previous experience.
Freeriding
There is no other winter sport that gets you closer to nature.Due to the truly unaffected character of the slopes，snow and weather conditions have to be taken into special consideration when freeriding.Therefore，it is very important to be accompanied by a professional guide who knows the skiing area inside out and who is able to correctly assess the weather conditions.
Snowshoeing
Snowshoeing is the perfect activity for those who want to explore the untouched winter landscape.The snowshoes distribute（分配）the weight of the person carrying them over a larger area so that the feet only sink lightly into the snow.Handling snowshoes is easy and does not require any previous experience：Simply fasten（扣緊）your snowshoes，pick up your sticks and off you go!
Snowtubing
Snowtubing is an activity for winter fans of all ages and involves sliding down a snowtubing slope in a rubber tire（輪胎）.Snowtubing tracks are often located close to a ski lift.This gives the tuber the opportunity to immediately go back up the mountain after the ride.The activity is the perfect and fun end to a day of skiing.

2．When American Matt Stopera's iPhone went missing，he thought， "well，bad luck.These things happen." One year later，Matt's misfortune has turned to good fortune as he found a new friend and became an Internet celebrity in China.
You may already be familiar with this story since it spread on Weibo for weeks during the Spring Festival，but it started when Matt began seeing photos of a Chinese man in front of an orange tree on his photo stream （照片流）.He wrote about it and some Chinese readers decided to see if they could find the mysterious man.They did.It turns out that "Brother Orange，" as he became known，owned a restaurant in Guangdong and the iPhone he was using，a gift from a nephew，was Matt's old phone.
Matt and Brother Orange began messaging each other and a friendship blossomed with Matt invited to China to feast at Brother Orange's restaurant on his delicious Hakkacuisine （客家菜）.Matt was also overwhelmed by the warmth of the millions of Chinese who were following the story.When he opened a Weibo account he had 22 million followers almost overnight，many of them inviting him to their hometowns and offering to be his tour guide.
Matt's story is another example of how powerful the Internet and social networking has become in bringing people together.But there is a darker side to this story and that involves how Matt's missing iPhone turned up in China.Over three million smart-phones were stolen in America last year.Because of identification numbers，these phones can't be used in America，so they are sent to other countries and many of them end up in China，where they can be re-activated.This is why Matt and Brother Orange could share the same iCloud account.

3． Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms.Its influence on the brain，is much deeper than any other human experience.Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.
A recent study shows that preterm（早產(chǎn)的）babies can experience less pain and feed more when listening to music.Experts by Dr.Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta，Canada，found that music had a useful effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests.It can also benefit full-term babies during operations.
Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems.Music can help them recover.As a different and effective treatment，doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve some parts of the brain.When patients hear a musical beat，it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
Though music cannot make deafness disappear，it really can stave off the loss of hearing.There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians.Participants were asked to pass some listening tests.Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians，and this difference gets clearer with age.This means that a 70-year-old，musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician，even in a noisy environment.
Besides，music mends a broken heart.It is not about a thrown-away love，but about a heart attack.The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure，slowing down the heartbeat rate，and reducing anxiety.Listening to the quality music produces positive emotions，improves the movement of blood，and expands blood vessels，thus，promoting quick recovery of the whole cardiovascular（心血管的）system.
（1）How does music affect preterm babies？
A．It helps reduce their pain.
B．It helps develop their potential in music.
C．It helps improve their hearing systems.
D．It helps repair their cardiovascular systems.
（2）What does the underlined phrase "stave off" in Paragraph 4 mean？
A．Lead to
B．Increase
C．Prevent
D．Break into
（3）Why can music mend a broken heart？
A．It can help patients recover in a slow way.
B．It helps make a person feel optimistic all the time.
C．It has a positive effect on human body systems' work.
D．It can help people prevent diseases caused by anxiety.
（4）What may be the best title for the text？
A．Who can benefit from music.
B．The best time to listen to music.
C．The way to choose quality music.
D．How music affects our mind and body.組卷：2引用：1難度：0.3

9．A GIFT FOR GRANDPA Summer vacation was coming.Jack and his brother Berlin were filled with excitement as they thought of visiting their grandparents again.
The big day came at last.After the happy family got ready，they set out for the grandparents' eagerly.On the way，the brothers were excitedly talking about the fun they had with grandparents.
A little blue house with a tall white chimney finally appeared.Behind the property was the forest carrying their good memories with Grandpa.They arrived at the driveway，at the end of which Grandma was waiting for them joyfully.
Jack and Berlin each gave Grandma a big hug and then swept to the living room，shouting excitedly "Grandpa，we are back!"
Seeing his grandsons，Grandpa was wild with joy and tried to get up with all his strength from the chair but in vain.A helpless expression flashed on his face.Grandma explained that his health was declining rapidly and maybe couldn't stand up on his own forever.But Grandpa declared stubbornly（倔強(qiáng)地）， "I can! " Certainly，he was stuck in his boyish way.Mum and grandparents were happy to meet again after a long time.They sat together and chatted about what happened recently.
The brothers were soon bored with adult conversation，went out and wandered into the forest.Tall trees stretched up to the heavens with large branches crossing each other，while young ones rose straight like soldiers.Grandpa was once a great explorer full of wisdom.He could tell where the birds came from only by their calls and songs.The trees，birds，lizards，lots of bugs...How many merry moments they spent with Grandpa in the kingdom!
But now Grandpa couldn't get up，which made them worried. "We'd think out a way to cheer him up." Jack said. "Grandpa is a bird lover，and we can catch him a bird." Berlin suggested. "But he hates birds being caged!" Jack shook his head.
Then a bright idea came to Jack's mind. "Why not make a cane（拐杖）out of a young tree!"
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。Berlin thought it was a good idea.______
