Winter also means skiing, and Narvik can offer some of the best skiing in Norway. The view and light change frequently and no two days are the same. For many people, the northern lights are an unforgettable sight, and in Narvik the sky is especially clear and great for watching at night. The tourist season lasts from February to April, although May can be fascinating too, often with fantastic dry snow and an unbelievable light lasting well into the evening. Ski hire It is possible for adults and children to hire skiing equipment such as snowboards. All equipment is prepared for use. If you would like to book your equipment, please go to www.narvikfjellet.com. Cross­country skiing There are 12 kilometres of cross­country ski run in Narvik. You need to bring your own skis as there is no cross­country hire. However, equipment can be bought at local sports shops in and around Narvik. Off­piste skiing(非滑雪场地滑雪) In order to explore Narvik’s off­piste opportunities, you need to know the dangers when choosing routes. It is suggested that you bring necessary equipment such as a shovel and a GPS locator. Ask www.narvikfjellet.com for an experienced guide. With a guide you can explore Narvik’s special off­piste areas in a safe manner. Sometimes it is nice to do something different and not everybody enjoys skiing. Then you can go horse­riding, or visit the local museums.

NOK 2,260 B One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap (包装). On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying, “I promised you a gift, and here it is.” What an honour! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told it over and over how much I loved it! One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it.Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as “hopeless”, “pitiful”, and “dying”, which sounded ominous. Christmas was coming. “Don’t expect any presents this year,” Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room.“If your baby brother lives, that’ll be Christmas enough.” As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. I’d never seen him cry before. The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say, “What? He’s all right?” He hung up and shouted upstairs. “The hospital said we can bring Richard home!” “Thank God!” I heard Mum cry. From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love! 35. What happened to the author on September 11th, 1958? A. He got a baby brother. B. He got a Christmas gift. C. He became four years old. D. He received a doll. 36. What does the underlined word “ominous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Impossible. B. Boring. C. Difficult. D. Fearful. 37. Which word can best describe the feeling of the father when Christmas was coming? A. Excitement. B. Happiness. C. Sadness. D. Disappointment. 38. What is the passage mainly about? A. A sad Christmas day. B. Life with a lovely baby. C. A special Christmas gift. D. Memories of a happy family. C On a number of drives throughout my childhood, my mother would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle from tragedy while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car. Though Mother’s Day follows the Earth Day, for me, they have always been related to each other. My mum has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift(节俭). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, mum saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and reuses her plastic bags. Mum creates a kind of harmonious relationship with wildlife in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to avoid the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders out at night, it is likely that they will be knocked down by a family of raccoons(浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house and are caught in juice glasses will be set loose in the garden. I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for dandelions(蒲公英)to fly in the wind; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mum didn’t need to lecture; she didn’t need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came mercy and an instinct for protection. I am slowing down and it isn’t because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet. It is out of my concern for the planet itself. I’ve begun to save glass jars and reuse packing envelops. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other in the trees above my house. Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with a sweetness. I immediately wanted to share with my mum. 39. Why does the author say the Earth Day is connected with Mother’s Day? A. Because Mother’s Day always falls shortly after the Earth Day. B. To stress that all the women in her family are environmentalists. C. To stress how much her mother cares about the environment. D. Because her mother shows her concern to nature on Mother’s Day. 40. Which of the following in NOT related to Mum’s “green life”? A. Rescuing a beetle from a certain tragedy. B. Saving glass jars, empty cheese containers. C. Setting a caught spider free in the garden. D. Picking dandelions on busy streets. 41. We can infer from the article that . A. the author realizes that she should teach her children by example as well B. the author’s mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yard C. the author believes that only by learning to slow down can we enjoy life D. the author’s mother used to lecture her to protect the environment 42. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Tomatoes make the author think of her mother. B. The author likes eating tomatoes planted by herself. C. Planting tomatoes is a way of protecting environment. D. The author really appreciates her mother’s teaching. D Can you believe everything that you read? It seems as if every day, some new articles come out about a new discovery about this or that. For example, water is bad for you, or good for you. The answer depends on which scientific study has just come out. People cannot decide which food items are healthy, how pyramids were constructed, and why dinosaurs disappeared. When we look for answers we sometimes can believe persuasive researches and scientists. But how trustworthy are they really? Here are two examples of scientific hoaxes (骗局). As far back as 1726, Johann Beringer was fooled by his fellow scientists into thinking he had made an amazing discovery. The fossils of spiders, lizards, and even birds with the name of God written on them in Hebrew were unlike anything that had been found before. He wrote several papers on them and was famous for those only to have it revealed that they were planted by jealous colleagues to ruin his reputation. When an early human being was discovered in 1912, scientists at this time were wild with excitement over the meaning it had for the theory of evolution. There were hundreds of papers about this Piltdown man over the next fifty years until it was finally discovered to be a complex hoax. The skull (头骨) of a man had been mixed with the jawbone of an orangutan (猩猩) to make the ape (猿) man. The next time you read the exciting new findings of a study of the best scientist, do not automatically assume that it is true. Even qualified people can get it wrong. Though we certainly should not ignore scientific research, we do need to take it with a grain of salt. Just because it is accepted as the truth today does not mean it will still be trustworthy tomorrow. 43. What is the reason why Johann Beringer was fooled? A. His fellow scientists wanted to make fun of him. B. His workmates are eager to become famous too. C. These scientists made a mistake because of carelessness. D. His colleagues was jealous of him and did so to destroy his fame. 44. The excited scientists thought that this Piltdown man . A. was in fact a complex hoax B. was a great scientific invention C. contributed to the theory of evolution D. had the skull like that of an ape 45. What can we learn from the passage? A. Hebrew is probably a kind of language. B. Truths of science will never be out of time. C. People believe scientists because they are persuasive. D. We are advised to believe famous scientists. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共 25 分） 注意事项： 1. 用黑色钢笔或签字笔直接答在答题卡上，答在本试卷上的无效. Ⅵ. 阅读表达（满分10分） When Spencer West was just five years old he had a serious disease that resulted in the amputation（截肢）of both his legs. However, the young Canadian has never let his disability get in his way. He has shown that he could do anything a person with two legs could do, including climbing the world’s highest snow­covered mountain—Mt. Kilimanjaro! Spencer’s great adventure to get to the top of the 19,341­foot­high peak began on June 13th from the small village of Naro Moru in Kenya. The team included his best friends David Johnson and Alex Meers. For the first few days, Spencer walked 80 percent of the rocky road using his hands. Only when it became impossible would he use the wheel chair. As would be expected, the nights were very terrible—The ground underneath was rocky and the temperatures were lower than they expected. Hard as it was, Spencer did not surrender the goal even once. However, as the road started becoming steeper（陡峭的） and rockier, his friends became worried about him—Even though Spencer had spent over a year training for this event with his hands, they worried that he would have some serious injuries if he continued. They decided that in the last two days Spencer West would cut back his independent climb to half day and be carried the other half. Things got more and more difficult as they got closer to the top. As the air got thinner, they suffered from sickness and the shortage of energy so that they stopped any talk—They needed all their energy to keep going. The only thought in their minds was to get to the top. But, it was all worth it—Finally, Spencer West climbed Africa’s highest peak! 46. With whom did Spencer West climb Mt. Kilimanjaro?

I’m very happy to have a talk here and my topic is how to live a meaningful life in senior high. First of all, as students, we should study hard to learn more, which is our main task. Besides, we can also enjoy our after-school life. To make our school life colourful and interesting, we should make good friends, take part in leisure-time activities and do voluntary work. What’s more, we should learn to be independent. Don’t always depend on our parents but try to do something by ourselves. I hope that everyone will enjoy a happy senior school life! That’s all.
