Below, you’ll find recommendations for the best places to visit in winter in the USA. Sequoia (美洲杉) National Park, California This park is famous for its giant sequoia trees. And though it’s impressive to walk among 250-foot sequoias, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing through Giant Forest Grove when the towering trees are dusted with snow is pure magic.

Clip-clop past the city’s churches, see where they stored all the gunpowder back in the 1700s and learn about Charleston’s past. Accommodation: Located in the city's historic heart, the Charleston Place hotel features plush rooms and excellent dining. Keystone, Colorado Ski report website On the Snow rates it the top resort for families, thanks to free parking; ski-in, ski-out lodgings; a kids-ski-free program; and beginner terrain (地形). Accommodation: Keystone Lodge and Spa has cozy mountain-inspired rooms and lofts, a heated outdoor pool and hot tub. Park City, Utah Located just 40 minutes from Salt Lake City, the largest ski resort in the United States is known for its light, dry snow, sunny skies and variety of terrain.

B It was a stormy evening, and all that Neil could hope was to find a shelter that could keep him protected from the chilly wind and cold rain. After work he had to get home on time, as his busy schedule was preventing him from spending quality time with his family. The bus stop on the way provided temporary shelter, where Neil was becoming increasingly agitated(焦虑不安) with every passing minute. All his evening plans were washed out. “Sir, why don’t you buy a pack of groundnuts(花生) from me?” Neil looked around to see a man in rag standing by his side. “Oh, no, I’m not interested right now.” “Fried groundnuts will do you a world of good now. Moreover, you can also take some for your family.” The very mention of family brought a concern to Neil. His wife had specifically told him to come home early, if not for her sake, at least for the sake of their seven-year-old son. When he was lost in thought, the groundnut seller had filled a bag with the remaining nuts and offered him an unexpectedly low price. But, Neil refused to buy them: “I do not want to buy anything at this point!” Suddenly, he heard a voice of a kid. “Dad, I want some money to buy books for the school.” He saw a ten-year-old boy, totally drenched from top to bottom, as though he had just run a race. He was talking to the groundnut seller. “Yes, yes, I’m ready to leave now. Come! How many books do you want? Why did you get wet in the rain? Your mother must be getting worried.” Neil turned to the seller. There was an instant when they both made the perfect eye contact. Neil had the look of what it is to be a father. The groundnut seller did not say anything and gave the packet of groundnuts without saying a word. Neil pulled a note from his wallet, placed it in the man’s hand, and walked away without waiting for the change. 24. Why did Neil become more anxious at the bus stop? A. The rain stopped him from getting home on time. B. The chilly wind made him feel colder and colder. C. He thought of his boring and heavy work. D. He couldn’t find a good place to keep off the rain. 25. Why didn’t Neil buy the man’s groundnuts at first? A. He didn’t have enough money on him. B. His family doesn’t like groundnuts. C. He was in a bad mood at that time. D. His family was a little poor. 26. What does the underlined word “drenched” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Wet through. B. Very excited. C. Well dressed. D. Sweat heavily. 27. What made Neil buy all the seller’s groundnuts? A. The seller’s generous action. B. His having a pity for the seller. C. The seller’s greatness as a father. D. His being moved by the seller’s son. C One of my bad habits is saying “busy” when people ask me how I’m doing. Sometimes it’s because I actually am busy, but other times it’s because that’s what I think I’m supposed to say. That’s what important people say. That’s what people who get promoted say. But working long hours doesn’t drive better results. Never taking a vacation won’t lead to a promotion. So why are we so proud to talk about how busy we are all the time? In 2016, researchers from Columbia, Harvard, and Georgetown conducted a study to figure it out. They found busy people are perceived to be of high status, and interestingly, the status is heavily influenced by our own beliefs about social mobility. In other words, the more we believe that one has the opportunity for success based on hard work, the more we tend to think that people who skip leisure and work all the time are of higher standing. That’s why we feel like we have to appear busy, and there’s a view that if someone is knee-deep in meetings, emails, and stress, then they’re probably a big deal. This culture of busyness is making it hard for employees to find work-life balance. According to a recent study, one in five highly engaged employees is at risk of burnout. Personally, I’m going to stop saying “busy” when people ask me how I am. It sounds self-righteous (自以为是的) and sets the wrong tone. Phrases like “I have limited access to email” and “I’ll respond as soon as I get back” sound like you’re being held against your will from working as opposed to making the most of your time off. That’s why we recently launched the Out of Office Email Generator, a free tool you can use before your next long weekend or trip. You can share loud and proud that you won’t be checking email until you’re back. Managers need to think twice about emailing their teams on the weekend and talking about how busy they are. Leaders should take time off themselves and encourage employees to do the same. 28. What is a reason for the author to be in the habit of saying “busy”? A. He is actually proud to be fully occupied. B. He just follows successful people’s example. C. He thinks everyone should be devoted to work. D. He believes busyness ensures accomplishments. 29. Why do we tend to think that busy people are of high status? A. Our status can be down to our social mobility. B. Few people of high status have time for leisure. C. Our opportunity for success never comes easily. D. We hold the belief that hard work leads to success. 30. What does “I have limited access to email” sound like according to the author? A. I enjoy my time off work. B. I am forced to stop working. C. 1 am opposed to the work culture. D. I am too busy to check all emails. 31. Why was the Out of Office Email Generator launched? A. To stop managers talking about how busy they usually are. B. To allow for less time busy employees spend checking emails. C. To ensure employees as well as employers truly have time off. D. To encourage employers and employees to answer emails in time. D A robot designed to carry things moves quickly across a field to gather equipment at a sports event. Such equipment, like javelins and discuses (铁饼), has been thrown by competitors. Another robot moves a human-sized screen on wheels. It is designed to permit virtual attendance at the event. And then there are the robots designed to look like the smiling, friendly creatures or mascots that act as the Olympic Games’representatives. All these robots are part of preparations for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. Japanese carmaker Toyota Motor Corporation presented the machines to reporters earlier this week. Toyota is a major supporter of the 2020 Olympic Games. The mascot robots have moving arms and legs, and their eyes change to the image of stars and hearts. They cannot speak at all or walk very well. But Tomohisa Moridaira, lead engineer, suggested several possibilities, such as getting the robot to hold the Olympic torch using magnets. The field support robot" is a small bus-shaped machine based on a Toyota ride-sharing vehicle that is still in development. The field support robot can travel as fast as 20 kilometers per hour. It holds three cameras and one special sensor that lets it surroundings. Around the top of its body are special lights that brighten when the vehicle is active. Its artificial intelligence helps it avoid barriers. It is also able to vary its path in order to protect areas of grass. However, it cannot find the objects, which can weigh up to eight kilograms, or pick them up on its own. A person has to travel with the device, pick up the objects and put them in it. Then, with a press of a button, the vehicle transports the equipment to where it needs to go. Takeshi Kuwabara took charge of the robots’ development. He said it was designed to team robots and humans. "Our aim was to leverage the strengths of both humans and robots," he said. The carmaker plans to use the games to present its new vehicle technologies. These include buses fueled by a special kind of battery, and self-driving taxis. Toyota is competing with other carmakers and technology companies to develop low cost , robot-controlled cars and electric vehicles. 32. Why does the author mention robots in the first paragraph? A. To attract our interest in robot technology. B. To show us new robot technology in the 21st century. C. To encourage creation of new robots. D. To introduce the robots in the Olympic Games. 33. What is the feature of the "field support robot"? A. It can work individually in the field. B. It can sense barriers and change its way. C. It is a Toyota ride-sharing vehicle. D. It can find and pick up anything. 34. What is the purpose of the carmaker to use many robots in the Olympic Games? A. To show its new vehicle technologies. B. To help save the natural resources. C To cut down the cost of the service. D. To free people from heavy work. 35. What can be the best title of the passage? A. Robot Shows in the 2020 Olympics. B. Toyota's - Support for the 2020 Olympics. C. Robot Assistants in the 2020 Olympics. D. Robot Competition in the 2020 Olympics. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Loving your own body is often easier said than done.

Clip-clop past the city’s churches, see where they stored all the gunpowder back in the 1700s and learn about Charleston’s past.(在寒冷的冬天乘坐历史悠久的马车开始你的周末之旅。咔嗒咔嗒地经过这座城市的教堂，看看他们在18世纪储存火药的地方，了解查尔斯顿的过去。)”可知，游客在Charleston可以探索这座城市的历史。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Keystone, Colorado部分的“Ski report website On the Snow rates it the top resort for families, thanks to free parking; ski-in, ski-out lodgings; a kids-ski-free program; and beginner terrain. (滑雪报告网站On the Snow将其评为最适合家庭的度假胜地，这要归功于免费停车；住宿；儿童免费滑雪项目；初学者地形。)”可知，Keystone给孩子一个免费滑雪的机会。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Contrary to popular belief, winter is actually a good time to travel. Below, you’ll find recommendations for the best places to visit in winter in the USA.(与普遍的看法相反，冬天实际上是旅行的好时机。下面，你会发现美国冬季最佳旅游景点的推荐。)”可推知，这四个地方的共同之处在于它们提供了一系列寒冷天气的乐趣。故选D。 B It was a stormy evening, and all that Neil could hope was to find a shelter that could keep him protected from the chilly wind and cold rain. After work he had to get home on time, as his busy schedule was preventing him from spending quality time with his family. The bus stop on the way provided temporary shelter, where Neil was becoming increasingly agitated(焦虑不安的) with every passing minute. All his evening plans were washed out. “Sir, why don’t you buy a pack of groundnuts(花生) from me?” Neil looked around to see a man in rag standing by his side. “Oh, no, I’m not interested right now.” “Fried groundnuts will do you a world of good now. Moreover, you can also take some for your family.” The very mention of family brought a concern to Neil. His wife had specifically told him to come home early, if not for her sake, at least for the sake of their seven-year-old son. When he was lost in thought, the groundnut seller had filled a bag with the remaining nuts and offered him an unexpectedly low price. But, Neil refused to buy them: “I do not want to buy anything at this point!” Suddenly, he heard a voice of a kid. “Dad, I want some money to buy books for the school.” He saw a ten-year-old boy, totally drenched from top to bottom, as though he had just run a race. He was talking to the groundnut seller. “Yes, yes, I’m ready to leave now. Come! How many books do you want? Why did you get wet in the rain? Your mother must be getting worried.” Neil turned to the seller. There was an instant when they both made the perfect eye contact. Neil had the look of what it is to be a father. The groundnut seller did not say anything and gave the packet of groundnuts without saying a word. Neil pulled a note from his wallet placed it in the man’s hand, and walked away without waiting for the change. 24. Why did Neil become more anxious at the bus stop? A. The rain stopped him from getting home on time. B. The chilly wind made him feel colder and colder. C. He thought of his boring and heavy work. D. He couldn’t find a good place to keep off the rain. 25. Why didn’t Neil buy the man’s groundnuts at first? A. He didn’t have enough money on him. B. His family doesn’t like groundnuts. C. He was in a bad mood at that time. D. His family was a little poor. 26. What does the underlined word “drenched” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Wet through. B. Very excited. C. Well dressed. D. Sweat heavily. 27. What made Neil buy all the seller’s groundnuts? A. The seller’s generous action. B. His having a pity for the seller. C. The seller’s greatness as a father. D. His being moved by the seller’s son. 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述Neil因为大雨无法及时赶回家与家人共度美好时光而郁闷，躲雨时被花生小贩同为父亲的责任感所感动。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“After work he had to get home on time, as his busy schedule was preventing him from spending quality time with his family.(下班之后他必须准时回家，因为他繁忙的日程，使他无法与家人共度美好时光)”以及“All his evening plans were washed out(他所有的晚上计划都泡汤了)”可知，他在公交车站感到焦虑的原因是大雨使他不能按时回家与家人团聚。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据上文“The bus stop on the way provided temporary shelter, where Neil was becoming increasingly agitated(焦虑不安的) with every passing minute. All his evening plans were washed out(回家路上的公交车站给他提供了暂时的躲雨的地方，随着每一分钟的流逝，Neil变得越来越焦虑不安。他所有的晚上计划都泡汤了)”可知，此时他心情很糟糕，因此没有心情买花生。故选C。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“Suddenly, he heard a voice of a kid.(突然，他听到了一个小孩的声音)”以及下文“Why did you get wet in the rain?(你为什么在雨中淋湿了)”可知，小男孩全身上下都湿透了，所以划线的词意为湿透了。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Neil turned to the seller. There was an instant when they both made the perfect eye contact. Neil had the look of what it is to be a father.( Neil转向卖家。有那么一瞬间，他们的眼神完美的交流。Neil看到了同为父亲的责任)”可知，Neil被花生小贩同为父亲的责任感所感动。故选C。 C One of my bad habits is saying “busy” when people ask me how I’m doing. Sometimes it’s because I actually am busy, but other times it’s because that’s what I think I’m supposed to say. That’s what important people say. That’s what people who get promoted say. But working long hours doesn’t drive better results. Never taking a vacation won’t lead to a promotion. So why are we so proud to talk about how busy we are all the time? In 2016, researchers from Columbia, Harvard, and Georgetown conducted a study to figure it out. They found busy people are perceived to be of high status, and interestingly, the status is heavily influenced by our own beliefs about social mobility. In other words, the more we believe that one has the opportunity for success based on hard work, the more we tend to think that people who skip leisure and work all the time are of higher standing. That’s why we feel like we have to appear busy, and there’s a view that if someone is knee-deep in meetings, emails, and stress, then they’re probably a big deal. This culture of busyness is making it hard for employees to find work-life balance. According to a recent study, one in five highly engaged employees is at risk of burnout. Personally, I’m going to stop saying “busy” when people ask me how I am. It sounds self-righteous (自以为是的) and sets the wrong tone. Phrases like “I have limited access to email” and “I’ll respond as soon as I get back” sound like you’re being held against your will from working as opposed to making the most of your time off. That’s why we recently launched the Out of Office Email Generator, a free tool you can use before your next long weekend or trip. You can share loud and proud that you won’t be checking email until you’re back. Managers need to think twice about emailing their teams on the weekend and talking about how busy they are. Leaders should take time off themselves and encourage employees to do the same. 28. What is a reason for the author to be in the habit of saying “busy”? A. He is actually proud to be fully occupied. B. He just follows successful people’s example. C. He thinks everyone should be devoted to work. D. He believes busyness ensures accomplishments. 29. Why do we tend to think that busy people are of high status? A. Our status can be down to our social mobility. B. Few people of high status have time for leisure. C. Our opportunity for success never comes easily. D. We hold the belief that hard work leads to success. 30. What does “I have limited access to email” sound like according to the author? A. I enjoy my time off work. B. I am forced to stop working. C. 1 am opposed to the work culture. D. I am too busy to check all emails. 31. Why was the Out of Office Email Generator launched? A. To stop managers talking about how busy they usually are. B. To allow for less time busy employees spend checking emails. C. To ensure employees as well as employers truly have time off. D. To encourage employers and employees to answer emails in time. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了为什么人们总是自豪地谈论自己有多忙的原因。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“One of my bad habits is saying “busy” when people ask me how I’m doing. Sometimes it’s because I actually am busy, but other times it’s because that’s what I think I’m supposed to say. That’s what important people say. That’s what people who get promoted say.”（我的一个坏习惯就是当别人问我过得怎么样时，我说‘忙’。有时是因为我真的很忙，但其他时候是因为我觉得我应该说这些。重要人物都这么说。升职的人都这么说。）可知，作者习惯说“忙”的原因是他只是以成功人士为榜样。故选B项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“They found busy people are perceived to be of high status, and interestingly, the status is heavily influenced by our own beliefs about social mobility. In other words，the more we believe that one has the opportunity for success based on hard work, the more we tend to think that people who skip leisure and work all the time are of higher standing.”（他们发现，忙碌的人被认为地位高，有趣的是，这种地位在很大程度上受到我们自己对社会流动性的看法的影响。换句话说，我们越相信一个人有机会通过努力工作获得成功，我们就越倾向于认为那些不休闲而一直工作的人地位更高。）可推知，我们倾向于认为忙碌的人地位高是因为我们相信努力工作会导致成功。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Phrases like “I have limited access to email” and “I’ll respond as soon as I get back” sound like you’re being held against your will from working as opposed to making the most of your time off.”（像‘我使用电子邮件的权限有限’和‘我一回来就回复’这样的话听起来就像是你被强迫禁止工作，而不是充分利用你的休假时间。）可推知，根据作者的说法，“我使用电子邮件的权限有限”听起来像我被迫停止工作。故选B项。 31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“That’s why we recently launched the Out of Office Email Generator, a free tool you can use before your next long weekend or trip. You can share loud and proud that you won’t be checking email until you’re back. Managers need to think twice about emailing their teams on the weekend and talking about how busy they are. Leaders should take time off themselves and encourage employees to do the same.”（这就是为什么我们最近推出了‘Out of Office Email Generator’，这是一个免费的工具，你可以在下一次长周末或旅行之前使用它。你可以大声而自豪地告诉他们，在你回来之前你不会查看电子邮件。管理者在周末给团队发邮件、谈论自己有多忙时，需要三思而后行。领导者自己应该休息，并鼓励员工也这样做。）可知，“Out of Office Email Generator”电子邮件生成器的推出是为了确保员工和雇主都有真正的休假时间。故选C项。 D A robot designed to carry things moves quickly across a field to gather equipment at a sports event. Such equipment, like javelins and discuses (铁饼), has been thrown by competitors. Another robot moves a human-sized screen on wheels. It is designed to permit virtual attendance at the event. And then there are the robots designed to look like the smiling, friendly creatures or mascots that act as the Olympic Games’representatives. All these robots are part of preparations for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. Japanese carmaker Toyota Motor Corporation presented the machines to reporters earlier this week. Toyota is a major supporter of the 2020 Olympic Games. The mascot robots have moving arms and legs, and their eyes change to the image of stars and hearts. They cannot speak at all or walk very well. But Tomohisa Moridaira, lead engineer, suggested several possibilities, such as getting the robot to hold the Olympic torch using magnets. The field support robot" is a small bus-shaped machine based on a Toyota ride-sharing vehicle that is still in development. The field support robot can travel as fast as 20 kilometers per hour. It holds three cameras and one special sensor that lets it surroundings. Around the top of its body are special lights that brighten when the vehicle is active. Its artificial intelligence helps it avoid barriers. It is also able to vary its path in order to protect areas of grass. However, it cannot find the objects, which can weigh up to eight kilograms, or pick them up on its own. A person has to travel with the device, pick up the objects and put them in it. Then, with a press of a button, the vehicle transports the equipment to where it needs to go. Takeshi Kuwabara took charge of the robots’ development. He said it was designed to team robots and humans. "Our aim was to leverage the strengths of both humans and robots," he said. The carmaker plans to use the games to present its new vehicle technologies. These include buses fueled by a special kind of battery, and self-driving taxis. Toyota is competing with other carmakers and technology companies to develop low cost , robot-controlled cars and electric vehicles. 32. Why does the author mention robots in the first paragraph? A. To attract our interest in robot technology. B. To show us new robot technology in the 21st century. C. To encourage creation of new robots. D. To introduce the robots in the Olympic Games. 33. What is the feature of the "field support robot"? A. It can work individually in the field. B. It can sense barriers and change its way. C. It is a Toyota ride-sharing vehicle. D. It can find and pick up anything. 34. What is the purpose of the carmaker to use many robots in the Olympic Games? A. To show its new vehicle technologies. B. To help save the natural resources. C. To cut down the cost of the service. D. To free people from heavy work. 35. What can be the best title of the passage? A Robot Shows in the 2020 Olympics. B. Toyota's - Support for the 2020 Olympics. C. Robot Assistants in the 2020 Olympics. D. Robot Competition in the 2020 Olympics. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了丰田公司向公众展示了一系列为2020东京奥运会准备的智能机器人和载具，分别介绍了它们的不同功用。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“All these robots are part of preparations for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan.”可知，第一段介绍的机器人都是与比赛相关的，到第二段就指明了它们都是为奥运会而准备的。故选D项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Its artificial intelligence helps it avoid barriers. It is also able to vary its path in order to protect areas of grass.”可知，场地支持机器人可以避开障碍物，为此而改变行进路线。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“The carmaker plans to use the games to present its new vehicle technologies.”可知，丰田公司打算借助这次奥运会来展示其新型车辆技术。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。只从第一段中列举的这些机器人来看：收集物品、清理场地的机器人，虚拟出席的人形机器人以及迎宾的吉祥物机器人，都是用来辅助、支持赛事相关的，C选项“2020奥运会的机器人助手”最贴合文章主题。故选C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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Loving your own body is often easier said than done.
