There are over 2,500 non-professional drama groups in the UK today and they are an active part of community life. people from all walks of life take on acting roles in addition to their regular jobs. They do it for fun, for the love of acting and as a way to meet new people. Not everyone in a drama club is a skilled actor, but enthusiasm(热情)is considered to be more important than talent. Friends, family members and neighbours enjoy getting together to watch the final performance and telling the people they know to “break a leg(走运)”. It’s a great way of bringing communities together. Also, in many rural parts of Britain, non-professional theatre is the only chance people have to see plays for miles around. Many people get a taste for acting at school. Every school puts on a play at least once per year, usually at Christmas, and parents love coming to watch their children perform. Ask any British person and they’re sure to have happy memories of being in their school’s Christmas play, whether they played the role of Mary or Joseph or perhaps even a sheep or a donkey. Another Christmas theatre tradition is the pantomime(舞剧). Pantomimes are a type of musical comedy for families .the audience is encouraged to participate in the performance-singing along with the music and shouting to the actors. Pantomimes are really fun to watch, especially for children. British people love going to the theatre, professional or not, and many of them also enjoy performing. If you have the chance, go and see a play in the UK. 4. What matters most for an actor in a drama club, according to the article? A. Talent B. Enthusiasm C. Professional training D.

Pantomimes are a type of musical comedy for families .the audience is encouraged to participate in the performance-singing along with the music and shouting to the actors.(圣诞节戏剧的另一个传统是舞剧。舞剧是一种适合家庭观看的音乐喜剧，鼓励观众跟着音乐一起唱歌，并向演员大喊。)”可知，舞剧的特殊之处在于观众可以和演员互动表演。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Many people get a taste for acting at school. Every school puts on a play at least once per year, usually at Christmas, and parents love coming to watch their children perform.(很多人在学校里就喜欢上了表演。每所学校每年至少上演一次戏剧，通常是在圣诞节，家长们都喜欢来看他们的孩子表演。)”可知，大多数英国人在学校经常参加戏剧表演。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段British people love going to the theatre, professional or not, and many of them also enjoy performing.(英国人喜欢去剧院，不管是不是专业的，很多人也喜欢表演。)”可知，在英国，非专业的戏剧表演深受人们欢迎。故选D。 C In July, I took my kids on vacation to Los Angeles. A month after our trip, I went to Las Vegas for my birthday. I had a lot on my plate and was under a lot of stress; I just wanted to get away and relax for a while. While I was sitting by the pool, an idea suddenly came to me. I’d always wanted to see the Greek island of Santorini, its white houses and buildings, and the blue water surrounding it. Therefore, the idea of a two-week European vacation alone was born. It was something I never thought I’d be planning this soon in my life. I had always thought, if it did ever happen, it would be when I was retired and old. I would lie if I said I wasn’t scared. I’d driven alone across the US before, from California to New Jersey, but traveling to other countries whose languages weren’t the same as mine terrified me. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to communicate with anyone, especially if I got lost somewhere. But I soon realized that if I wanted to follow my dreams, I had to step out of my comfort zone. And it dawned on me that I was scared, and if I let fear take control of me, I’d never get anywhere. As I searched for other places to visit on my trip, I found Mykonos, Greece, which I realized I liked just as much as I liked Santorini. When I arrived in Europe, it was like I was inside a dream. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and what I was experiencing. The best part was the bus ride to Venice. As I rode on the bus and gazed at every new thing I saw I was having the time of my life. It was nice to see people, young and old, riding their bikes to wherever they needed to go. I thought the architecture of the houses and the buildings was so charming, but seeing people doing their routine was the best part for me. Some people might say, “It’s not a big deal; it’s just Venice. Thousands of people go there every day.” But it was more than that to me. It was about having a dream and when it was time for it to come true, not to be afraid to let it happen. When I did, the reward was more than I could have possibly imagined. 8. What do the underlined words “an idea” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Visiting Europe alone. B. Having a vacation in Los Angeles. C. Going to Las Vegas for a birthday trip. D. Taking a two-week vacation in Venice. 9. Why was the author terrified when she planned her trip? A. She had never traveled alone before. B. She was feeling very stressed because of her job. C. She got lost in a foreign country before. D. She wasn’t sure whether she would be able to communicate with foreigners. 10. Which of the following is true? A. The best part was the bus ride to Mykonos. B. The author liked Santorini as much as Mykonos. C. The architecture and the buildings were the best part for the author. D. The author felt like she was inside a dream when she was driving across the US. 11. Why was the trip to Venice a big deal to the author? A. She realized the importance of her family. B. She learned more about herself during the trip. C. She figured out how to live a positive life. D. She stepped out of her comfort zone to realize her dreams. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者在压力下萌生独自前往欧洲度假的想法，作者克服恐惧，最终体验了如梦似幻的欧洲之旅，尤其是威尼斯之行带来的无尽喜悦和深刻感悟。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“While I was sitting by the pool, an idea suddenly came to me. I’d always wanted to see the Greek island of Santorini, its white houses and buildings, and the blue water surrounding it. Therefore, the idea of a two-week European vacation alone was born.(当我坐在游泳池边时，我突然想到了一个主意。我一直想看看希腊的圣托里尼岛，它的白色房屋和建筑，以及周围的蓝色海水。因此，独自度过两周欧洲假期的想法就诞生了)”可知，划线部分an idea指的是作者独自度过两周欧洲假期的想法。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I would lie if I said I wasn’t scared. I’d driven alone across the US before, from California to New Jersey, but traveling to other countries whose languages weren’t the same as mine terrified me. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to communicate with anyone, especially if I got lost somewhere.(如果我说我不害怕，我在撒谎。我以前曾独自开车穿越美国，从加利福尼亚州到新泽西州，但去其他语言与我不同的国家旅行让我感到害怕。我担心自己无法与任何人交流，尤其是如果我在某个地方迷路了)”可知，作者在计划旅行时感到害怕，这是因为作者担心去语言与自己不同的国家，自己会无法与外国人交流。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“As I searched for other places to visit on my trip, I found Mykonos, Greece, which I realized I liked just as much as I liked Santorini.(当我在寻找旅行中可以去的其他地方时，我发现了希腊的米科诺斯，我意识到我喜欢它就像我喜欢圣托里尼一样)”可知，作者像喜欢圣托里尼岛一样喜欢希腊的米科诺斯岛。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“But I soon realized that if I wanted to follow my dreams, I had to step out of my comfort zone. And it dawned on me that I was scared, and if I let fear take control of me, I’d never get anywhere.(但我很快意识到，如果我想追随我的梦想，我必须走出我的舒适区。我突然意识到我很害怕，如果我让恐惧控制我，我就永远不会有任何进展)”以及最后一段“Some people might say, “It’s not a big deal; it’s just Venice. Thousands of people go there every day.” But it was more than that to me. It was about having a dream and when it was time for it to come true, not to be afraid to let it happen. When I did, the reward was more than I could have possibly imagined.(有些人可能会说，“这没什么大不了的；这只是威尼斯。每天都有成千上万的人去那里。”但对我来说，这是关于有一个梦想，当梦想成真的时候，不要害怕让它发生。当我这样做的时候，回报超出了我的想象)”可知，威尼斯之旅对作者来说很重要，这是因为作者走出舒适区，实现了自己的梦想。故选D。 D Although orcas(虎肆), also known as killer whales, are famous for their attacks on sea animals, they are never a threat to humans. However, since late July, the normally social animals have been purposely attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal. The strange behavior first reported on July 29, 2020, when a 46-foot boat was repeatedly attacked for almost an hour by nine orcas, almost turning the boat over and having its engine turned off. Since then. over 30 more similar incidents have been reported. Researchers across the world are trying to explain the orcas’ behavior. Some believe it could be a result of the overfishing of the bluefin tuna-the orcas’ main food source-which has made the area’s killer whales hungry and unable to feed their babies. “I saw them look at boats carrying fish. I think they know humans are related to food shortages,”says Ken Balcomb, senior scientist at the Center for Whale Research in USA. The environmentalists believe that there is another reason for the agitation. They think the orcas’ behavior could also be caused by the sudden increase in boat. Human beings sail across the sea again, after months of restrictions(限制)on human activity last spring However, Alfredo López, a biology professor in Spain, thinks the attacks are preventive (预防性) measures the orcas took to guard themselves against boat injuries. The researcher made such a summary after looking at the videos of a few incidents and noticing that two of the young killer whales involved had serious injuries. Hopefully, the experts will be able to find a way to bring the peace between the animals and the humans back soon. 12. What can we infer about orcas from the first two paragraphs? A. They are friendly to humans. B. They always attacking boats. C. They have changed their behavior. D. They are famous for hunting skills. 13. The underlined word “agitation” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to ___. A. the attacks B. boat injuries C. fishing activities D. human activities 14. Which of the following may Alfredo Lopez agree with? A. Orcas attack boats for food. B. Orcas attack boats to protect themselves. C. Orcas are living peacefully with humans. D. Orcas are often hurt by human activities. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. How Do Killer Whales Attack Humans? B. Why Are Killer Whales Attacking Boats? C. What Can We Do to Help Killer Whales? D. Why Should We Stop Hunting Killer Whales? 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了虎鲸，以攻击海洋动物而闻名，但它们对人类从来都不是威胁。然而，自7月下旬以来，这种通常群居的动物开始在西班牙和葡萄牙海岸故意袭击帆船。从而，世界各地的研究人员都在试图解释虎鲸的奇怪行为。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“However, since late July, the normally social animals have been purposely attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal.”（然而，自7月下旬以来，这种通常群居的动物开始在西班牙和葡萄牙海岸故意袭击帆船。）以及第二段“The strange behavior first reported on July 29, 2020, when a 46-foot boat was repeatedly attacked for almost an hour by nine orcas, almost turning the boat over and having its engine turned off. Since then. over 30 more similar incidents have been reported.”（这种奇怪的行为首次报道于2020年7月29日，当时一艘46英尺长的船被9只逆戟鲸反复攻击了近一个小时，几乎把船翻了，发动机也被关闭了。从那时起。据报道，还有30多起类似事件。）可知，从前两段我们能推断出虎鲸它们已经改变了自己的行为。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一二段提到的虎鲸故意袭击帆船，引出话题，提到袭击。以及第三段中“Some believe it could be a result of the overfishing of the bluefin tuna-the orcas’ main food source-which has made the area’s killer whales hungry and unable to feed their babies.”（一些人认为这可能是由于过度捕捞蓝鳍金枪鱼(虎鲸的主要食物来源)造成的，这使得该地区的虎鲸感到饥饿，无法喂养它们的孩子。）可知，为分析袭击的原因。和“The environmentalists believe that there is another reason”（环保主义者认为还有另一个原因）可推知，为分析袭击的另一个原因。故可猜测划线单词agitation为“袭击”的意思，结合选项A项the attacks“袭击”意思一致。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, Alfredo López, a biology professor in Spain, thinks the attacks are preventive measures the orcas took to guard themselves against boat injuries.”（然而，西班牙生物学教授Alfredo López认为，这些攻击是虎鲸为保护自己免受船只伤害而采取的预防性措施。）可知，Alfredo Lopez认为虎鲸攻击船只是为了保护自己。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Although orcas, also known as killer whales, are famous for their attacks on sea animals, they are never a threat to humans. However, since late July, the normally social animals have been purposely attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal.”（虽然虎肆，也被称为虎鲸，以攻击海洋动物而闻名，但它们对人类从来都不是威胁。然而，自7月下旬以来，这种通常群居的动物开始在西班牙和葡萄牙海岸故意袭击帆船。）以及下文提到的世界各地的研究人员都在试图解释虎鲸的行为。故可推知，文章最好的标题是“虎鲸为什么要攻击船只？”。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Some Winter Activities Winter activities are underestimated (低估).

(白天可能更短，但有趣的活动清单却不是。不要让冬天的忧郁占据上风。)”讲述了冬天也有一些有趣的活动，所以不要让冬天的阴霾笼罩自己，空处应承上启下，引出接下来的一些活动，D项“活跃起来，尝试这些冬季活动。”符合题意。故选D。 【17题详解】 前文“Finding your favourite.

(穿着雪鞋走路对初学者很友好，适合儿童和老年人。)”讲述了穿着雪鞋走路对初学者很友好，所以空处应是说不需要成为运动员就可以做这项活动，F项“你不必是一名运动员就可以享受这种季节性的活动。”符合题意。故选F。 【19题详解】 前文“You don’t need the latest gear (设备) to be able to have fun.

(参加在线课程，或者第一次学乐器，都会带来难以置信的回报。扩展你的专业技能可以为你未来的工作前景创造奇迹。这可能需要一些规划，但可以考虑在这个季节学习一些新的东西。)”可知，本段主要是讲述学习新东西的好处，所以B项“学一些东西。”符合题意。故选B。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was in the mountain s of Kashmir that we realized how people can show kindness.

It was their mother’s birthday on the coming Saturday and the twins wanted to give her a surprise. What could they do? Baking (烘烤) a cake seemed quite impossible. Jenny was sitting on the stairs, wondering how she could make her mother’s day special when James came running in and said to Jenny, “Hey Jen! Mummy is inviting her friends. I think she intends to give a party!” “It means we have to do something great so Mum can feel really happy when we surprise her in front of all her guests,” replied Jenny. “We must bake a cake for her!” The twins were making serious plans for the birthday party. They organized the seating plan, prepared the menu, bought the ingredients (原料) for the cake and decorated the dining hall. On the big day, they woke up very early in the morning, wished their mother a happy birthday and asked her to watch TV or read some magazines. “We will take care of everything,” said James. “Yes,” said Jenny. “Don’t worry about the party. We have everything under control.” Then the twins headed for the kitchen. They were baking a chocolate cake. Both of them worked fast. Soon, people started arriving and gave gifts to the twins’ mother. The guests and the hosts chatted for a while and then everyone went to the dining hall for the cake-cutting ceremony. The cake was very beautiful and looked delicious. James and Jenny placed it on the table and handed Mother the knife. She blew out the candles, cut the cake and everyone sang the birthday song. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Now it was time to eat the cake. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mother hugged the twins and said, “No problem dear; it was your first attempt at baking.” ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 Now it was time to eat the cake. Mother shared it with the guests but to her surprise the cake was a disaster! It was hard on the outside, and underdone on the inside. The taste was awful as well! Soon the twins realized that there was something wrong with their baked creation. They were really upset. “We’ve ruined your birthday, ”James said hopelessly. “Yes, we are so sorry for this!” said Jenny with tears in her eyes. Paragraph 2 Mother hugged the twins and said, “No problem dear; it was your first attempt at baking.” After hearing Mother’s words, Jenny stopped crying. Mother continued to comfort them and said, “I am happy that you tried. Keep trying and never give up. This is the best birthday surprise of my life!” None of the guests said that the cake was not right because everyone knew that the twins had tried to do something new and this had been their first attempt. The hall sounded with praise and appreciation for the twins’ efforts. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一对十岁大的双胞胎精心给妈妈准备生日聚会，结果蛋糕烤砸了，但是妈妈还是很感动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“现在是吃蛋糕的时候了。”以及第二段首句“妈妈拥抱着双胞胎说：“‘没问题，亲爱的，这是你们第一次尝试烘焙。’”可知，第一段可描写众人吃蛋糕却发现蛋糕没烤好，双胞胎很难过。 ②由第二段首句内容“妈妈拥抱着双胞胎说：“‘没问题，亲爱的，这是你们第一次尝试烘焙。’”可知，第二段可描写如何安慰双胞胎。 2.续写线索：商量给妈妈的惊喜——准备生日聚会——烤蛋糕——蛋糕没烤好——双胞胎难过——安慰他们 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/come to know ②努力做：try to do/attempt to do ③继续做某事：continue to do sth./go on to do sth. 情绪类 ①悲伤：with tears in her eyes/full of sadness/with tears rolling down her face ②开心：happy/delighted/joyful 【点睛】【高分句型1】Soon the twins realized that there was something wrong with their baked creation.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】None of the guests said that the cake was not right because everyone knew that the twins had tried to do something new and this had been their first attempt.（运用了that引导的宾语从句，以及because引导的原因状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023-2024学年度下学期高一期中考试题 考试科目：英语 考试时间 120 分钟 总分 150 分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B Plays are an important part of British culture. The West End theatre district in London is the best place to watch a professional play, but acting also takes place in every school and village hall across the country. There are over 2,500 non-professional drama groups in the UK today and they are an active part of community life. people from all walks of life take on acting roles in addition to their regular jobs. They do it for fun, for the love of acting and as a way to meet new people. Not everyone in a drama club is a skilled actor, but enthusiasm(热情)is considered to be more important than talent. Friends, family members and neighbours enjoy getting together to watch the final performance and telling the people they know to “break a leg(走运)”. It’s a great way of bringing communities together. Also, in many rural parts of Britain, non-professional theatre is the only chance people have to see plays for miles around. Many people get a taste for acting at school. Every school puts on a play at least once per year, usually at Christmas, and parents love coming to watch their children perform. Ask any British person and they’re sure to have happy memories of being in their school’s Christmas play, whether they played the role of Mary or Joseph or perhaps even a sheep or a donkey. Another Christmas theatre tradition is the pantomime(舞剧). Pantomimes are a type of musical comedy for families .the audience is encouraged to participate in the performance-singing along with the music and shouting to the actors. Pantomimes are really fun to watch, especially for children. British people love going to the theatre, professional or not, and many of them also enjoy performing. If you have the chance, go and see a play in the UK. 4. What matters most for an actor in a drama club, according to the article? A. Talent B. Enthusiasm C. Professional training D. Support from family 5. According to the article, what is special about pantomimes? A. All the performers are professional child actors B. The audience is allowed to play some small roles in them C.

A. learn how to be a professional actor in school B. consider acting to be their regular jobs C. often participated in performance when in school D. watch plays in the West End theatre district in London 7. What is the article mainly about? A. Reasons why British people love plays B. The origin of theatre traditions in the UK C. Rules for theatergoers to follow in the UK D. The popularity of non-professional plays in the UK C In July, I took my kids on vacation to Los Angeles. A month after our trip, I went to Las Vegas for my birthday. I had a lot on my plate and was under a lot of stress; I just wanted to get away and relax for a while. While I was sitting by the pool, an idea suddenly came to me. I’d always wanted to see the Greek island of Santorini, its white houses and buildings, and the blue water surrounding it. Therefore, the idea of a two-week European vacation alone was born. It was something I never thought I’d be planning this soon in my life. I had always thought, if it did ever happen, it would be when I was retired and old. I would lie if I said I wasn’t scared. I’d driven alone across the US before, from California to New Jersey, but traveling to other countries whose languages weren’t the same as mine terrified me. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to communicate with anyone, especially if I got lost somewhere. But I soon realized that if I wanted to follow my dreams, I had to step out of my comfort zone. And it dawned on me that I was scared, and if I let fear take control of me, I’d never get anywhere. As I searched for other places to visit on my trip, I found Mykonos, Greece, which I realized I liked just as much as I liked Santorini. When I arrived in Europe, it was like I was inside a dream. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and what I was experiencing. The best part was the bus ride to Venice. As I rode on the bus and gazed at every new thing I saw, I was having the time of my life. It was nice to see people, young and old, riding their bikes to wherever they needed to go. I thought the architecture of the houses and the buildings was so charming, but seeing people doing their routine was the best part for me. Some people might say, “It’s not a big deal; it’s just Venice. Thousands of people go there every day.” But it was more than that to me. It was about having a dream and when it was time for it to come true, not to be afraid to let it happen. When I did, the reward was more than I could have possibly imagined. 8. What do the underlined words “an idea” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. Visiting Europe alone. B. Having a vacation in Los Angeles. C. Going to Las Vegas for a birthday trip. D. Taking a two-week vacation in Venice. 9. Why was the author terrified when she planned her trip? A. She had never traveled alone before. B. She was feeling very stressed because of her job. C. She got lost in a foreign country before. D. She wasn’t sure whether she would be able to communicate with foreigners. 10. Which of the following is true? A. The best part was the bus ride to Mykonos. B. The author liked Santorini as much as Mykonos. C The architecture and the buildings were the best part for the author. D. The author felt like she was inside a dream when she was driving across the US. 11. Why was the trip to Venice a big deal to the author? A. She realized the importance of her family. B. She learned more about herself during the trip. C. She figured out how to live a positive life. D. She stepped out of her comfort zone to realize her dreams. D Although orcas(虎肆), also known as killer whales, are famous for their attacks on sea animals, they are never a threat to humans. However, since late July, the normally social animals have been purposely attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal. The strange behavior first reported on July 29, 2020, when a 46-foot boat was repeatedly attacked for almost an hour by nine orcas, almost turning the boat over and having its engine turned off. Since then. over 30 more similar incidents have been reported. Researchers across the world are trying to explain the orcas’ behavior. Some believe it could be a result of the overfishing of the bluefin tuna-the orcas’ main food source-which has made the area’s killer whales hungry and unable to feed their babies. “I saw them look at boats carrying fish. I think they know humans are related to food shortages,”says Ken Balcomb, senior scientist at the Center for Whale Research in USA. The environmentalists believe that there is another reason for the agitation. They think the orcas’ behavior could also be caused by the sudden increase in boat. Human beings sail across the sea again, after months of restrictions(限制)on human activity last spring However, Alfredo López, a biology professor in Spain, thinks the attacks are preventive (预防性) measures the orcas took to guard themselves against boat injuries. The researcher made such a summary after looking at the videos of a few incidents and noticing that two of the young killer whales involved had serious injuries. Hopefully, the experts will be able to find a way to bring the peace between the animals and the humans back soon. 12. What can we infer about orcas from the first two paragraphs? A. They are friendly to humans. B. They always attacking boats. C. They have changed their behavior. D. They are famous for hunting skills. 13. The underlined word “agitation” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to ___. A. the attacks B. boat injuries C. fishing activities D. human activities 14. Which of the following may Alfredo Lopez agree with? A. Orcas attack boats for food. B. Orcas attack boats to protect themselves. C. Orcas are living peacefully with humans. D. Orcas are often hurt by human activities. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. How Do Killer Whales Attack Humans? B. Why Are Killer Whales Attacking Boats? C. What Can We Do to Help Killer Whales? D. Why Should We Stop Hunting Killer Whales? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Some Winter Activities Winter activities are underestimated (低估).
