Harbin's location and freezing temperatures make it a1 place to host a winter festival. The city centre sits on the banks of the Songhua River.The river freezes over in the winter and provides hundreds of thousands of cubic metres of ice.Ice artists from around the world turn the blocks of ice into buildings,animals,and other2 The world's largest winter festival grew out of a traditional ice lantern display and garden party that was 3 held in 1963.The snow and ice sculptures became part of the ice lantern festivities in 1985.In 2001,the celebration and Heilongjiang's International Ski Festival joined together and started to use its current(现行的)name. It's hard to imagine that this grand display of ice and snow sculptures started as ice in a bucket. Traditional ice lanterns were created by freezing water in a bucket,4 the icc,and making a hole into the block of ice.A candle was then placed inside the block to create a lantern. Today's creations are much more carefully 5and take much more time to form.Although the basic materials are the same-water,light,and ice-the displays now include LED lights and a lot of details.From a 6 block of ice to the world's largest ice and snow amusement park,the festival has made a dramatic change.No wonder it attracts millions of people each year. 1.A)convenient B)common C)natural D)necessary 2.A)attractions B)characters C)inventions D)products 3.A)only B)first C)even D)also 4.A)throwing away B)keeping off C)putting up D)taking out 5.A)described B)designed C)organized D)selected 6.A)bright B)fresh C)simple D)perfect C.Read the following two passages and fill in the blanks with proper words.(14%) 5 Passage A A pop singer has to work very hard to become popular.He must give the public what they really want and nced,or he must find a new way of singing that will a1 their attention.Even when he has succeeded and his records are sold e,he can not rest.Then he must work harder than ever to remain popular,because there are always younger singers trying to become famous.

D.Read the passage and answer the questions.(9%) An Unusual Garden The old 1986 truck was a gift from his grandfather.It worked,but it used a lot of gas.Ian 6 Cheney looked at his grandfather's truck and thought of a farm.As in other large cities,there is not much space to grow food in New York.Yet Cheney wanted a vegetable garden.Many farmers in New York have found creative ways to grow vegetables,such as rooftop gardens,community gardens in old parking lots,and even a floating garden in the Hudson River.Cheney,however, didn't have access to any of these spaces.So the old truck was a practical solution.The back of the truck provided him with the space he needed. So Cheney-set to work.First,he drilled holes in the truck bed-allowing water to pass through. Then he laid down a recycled plastic mat.The soil came next-a special lightweight variety.He made sure that everything was organic.Cheney preferred organic because he wanted to grow vegetables without chemicals.Then he planted lettuce,herbs,spinach,and tomatoes.Finally,he watered and waited. When the food was ready to pick,Cheney drove the truck from one urban neighborhood to another.He gave away some of the vegetables.He sold the rest to friends and neighbors. Everywhere he parked,passersby stopped and talked about the beautiful vegetable garden in the back of the truck. Cheney strongly believes that people are better off eating more local food-that is,food grown close to where they live.Local food has both environmental and health advantages.It reduces "food miles".The term food miles refers to the distance between where you produce food and where you sell it.A lot of the food in large supermarkets travels hundreds of miles to get to your dinner table. This has an economic and environmental cost.Then there is the question of nutrition-food that helps you grow and be healthy.The nutritional benefits of vegetables decrease over time.So eating food within a few days of harvesting is healthier for you. Cheney knows that his truck farm cannot solve the problem of the lack of fresh food in some neighborhoods.Yet,like rooftop gardens,it could be part of the solution.As Cheney says,"If we can grow food in the back of an'86 Dodge pickup,we can definitely find better ways to grow more fresh produce.” 1.The old 1986 truck from Ian Cheney's grandfather is working properly,isn't it?(1) 2.Where does Cheney plant his vegetables? 3.Why did Cheney drill holes in the truck bed? 7 4.How did Cheney deal with the vegetables he grew? 5.What do you think of farmers in New York in the passage?Give your reasons. VII.Writing (10%) Write at least 60 words on the topic"Take it easy" 你的好朋友Sady正在准备一场关于传统文化的演讲比赛，尽管她每天练习至少半小时 ,但仍然无法记住整份演讲稿。此外，Sad少y因为太紧张，晚上无法入睡。请你写一封信给 Sady,鼓励她，让她放轻松。信中至少给她二个建议，并给出合适理由，同时注意信件格 式。 (注意：短文中不得出现任何校名、人名及其它相关信总，否则不予评分。)
