Winter may bring colder temperatures, but it’s the ideal season to explore Iceland’s dramatic landscapes with fewer crowds, and the long, dark nights provide wonderful conditions for excellent star-watching. Here are 4 can’t-miss winter experiences to have in Iceland.

Discover Iceland’s Silver Circle
Iceland’s popular Golden Circle route, including key scenic sights, can get busy. For an equally impressive and quieter option, head off for the Silver Circle, a day-long adventure that takes in waterfalls Hraunfossar and Barnafossar, the historic Reykholt Valley, and the Krauma hot springs.

At Jenner Park primary School in Wales, pupils between the ages of seven and nine are writing letters to residents of a local care home. The initiative sees children and their elderly pen pals(笔友) exchange updates about their lives,helping to build relationships between generations while also giving the children an understanding of the value of writing letters by hand—an activity that's becoming less and less common.
Laura Johnson,the teacher who coordinates(协调) the scheme at Jenner Park,says:"All of our writing is for a purpose. That's the key in getting children to value handwriting. "As soon as you put an audience there, knowing that someone out there is going to be reading it—whether that's parents or another group of children—there's always the real sense of pride to go along with it,"says Johnson.
The school maintains a focus on handwriting throughout the years,from dedicated handwriting classes in the prep school to a calligraphy club offered to the older groups. It has created something called the pen license. It allows younger children to move from using a pencil to pen once they've reached a certain standard. "There's a lot of excitement about reaching that pen licence stage," says Johnson.
Johnson adds that developing students' writing in this way matters for their life after school:"For us, it's important that we create citizens of the future who have a set of life skills that can make them successful." The dominance of technology is a challenge,she admits, but she also believes both tools have their place."Obviously we're competing with technology continuously."she says."And I know there are people there saying you don't need to bother about handwriting because tech is out there. But we don't see it as competing. We're trying to get pupils to realize that there's a place for handwriting and to know when it's important to use each."
4. Why does the school launch the initiative?
A. To help children to find the meaning of handwriting.
B. To encourage children to show pity for the aged.
C. To persuade children to choose proper courses.
D. To urge children to acknowledge the audience.
5. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the school?
A. Its after-class activities. B. Its practice in handwriting.
C. Its academic achievements. D. Its innovation in technology.
6. What can we infer from the last paragraph about handwriting?
A. It will win against technology. B. It will give way to technology.
C. It will co-exist with technology. D. It will cause confusion to people.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Handwriting promotes the pen pal scheme
B. Slow communication reduces misunderstanding
C Creative ideas for dealing with challenges gain popularity
D. Putting pen to paper contributes to a love of the written word
C
For many, travel isn’t just about the destination — it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting (呕吐), known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature (功能) for iPhones and iPads.
Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.
Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This feature works by showing animated (动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness.
Early reports and user feedback (反馈) indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back — or rather, your brain - helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort.
8. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues?
A. Frequent travelers. B. Book lovers.
C. Vehicle operators. D. Sport scientists.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The principle of Apple’s new design.
B. The cause of motion sickness.
C. The functions of Apples new design.
D. The symptoms of motion sickness.
10. By displaying animated dots around the screen, Apple's Vehicle Motion Cues is able to _____.
A. ease sensory conflicts in the brain
B. tell the mismatched physical sensations
C. balance the movement of our eyes and body
D. increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion
11. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Make the Most of Your Journey: Apple Bridges the. Gap
B. Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: Apple’s Got! Your Back
C. Enjoy Your Reading: Apple Offers a Revolutionary Solution
D. Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design
D
What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of wheat straw? Most people would probably just see it as a pile of waste in a farmer’s field. However, Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor, can turn the straw left over from harvested wheat into beautiful and eye-catching functional artworks.
The earliest straw-weaving(草编的)products were discovered at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic cultural site located in eastern China’s Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were already mats made of cattail grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen during the Zhou Dynasty(c.11th century-256 BC).
Straw weaving is a method of making daily items or artworks. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
Wu explains the process of straw weaving: selection of materials is the first step of a complicated, time consuming and labor-intensive process that can take weeks, or even months, to complete. You need to sketch(索描)the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving of the work. Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike.
In the past, woven straw items could be found almost in every household in the countryside, such as straw hats and straw shoes, because they were practical in everyday life. But due to the impact of industrialization, manufactured goods have replaced such products, which cause low profits, and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in the work across the country. “The world has changed, and craftsmen need to transcend(超越)practicality and pursue the beauty and artistry of straw culture to help the craft survive and thrive(茁壮成长),” Wu says.
From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture, “Craftspeople should make a great effort to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products,” she says. When asked about her plans, Wu says she wants to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw-weaving technique.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about straw-weaving products?
A. Their historic origins. B. Their cultural value.
C. Their major uses. D. Their producing process.
13. Which is the most difficult part for straw-weaving craftsmen according to Wu Cui?
A. Selecting suitable materials. B. Drawing sketches on paper.
C. Making the artworks vivid. D. Preserving finished products.
14. What can we learn from Wu Cui’s opinion according to the last paragraph?
A. Craftsmen should bring forth new ideas in the crafts based on traditional culture
B. Pursuing fashion should be the first preference for eraftspeople.
C. Local people benefit a lot from the straw—weaving techniques.
D. Straw-weaving products are out of favor with customers.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain the process of straw weaving. B. To present the future of a traditional culture.
C. To introduce a way to pursue the beauty and artistry. D. To propose a new means of crafting.
第二节 七选五(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。
Children experience the joy and wonder of new experiences almost daily. However for many adults, these emotions get lost in the day to day repetition of everyday life and routine. ___16___
Trying new things is good for our brain. It helps us think more creatively and enhances confidence. It also helps us destress in that a new experience can help break harmful or negative routines. ___17___ We will consider things from new and different perspectives.
It is obvious that trying new things is good for our mental health. ___18___ Participating in new physical activities can improve our physical fitness, boost our energy levels, and enhance our overall health. For example, trying a new sport or exercise routine can increase our flexibility and strength. Having new experiences can also have a positive impact on our social lives. ___19___. When we step out of our comfort zones and engage in new activities, we· meet people with different backgrounds and perspectives, which can broaden our horizons and enrich our lives. Building new relationships can provide us with a sense of belonging.
Still, it can be scary to break routine and try something totally different. ___20___ Start small by breaking a goal into smaller steps. And be very specific about the goal. For example, instead of aiming to work on arm strength, make a goal of doing twenty arm curls (弯曲) a day. In addition, be realistic and make sure the goal î s practicable in terms of finances and free time.
While it is easy to get caught up in the daily tiring activities of life, always keep in mind that doing something new can be the best thing we can do for ourselves. So we’d better make the wise choice.
A. However, it is also good for our body.
B. It can help us expand our social connections.
C. Luckily there are practical tips to make a change.
D New experiences are critical for overcoming fears.
E Doing something new also promotes flexible thinking.

That’s when I ___23___ a secret: Washington, D. C., the city where I live, is full of hidden fossils (化石). In my busy, overstimulated life, I began to ___24___ fossils. Many of these sites lie within 80 miles south of the capital along the Potomac River, so fossil hunting ___25___ takes me away from the city. It’s a pursuit that requires ___26___ and focus. Finding different shapes in the earth feels like piecing together a broken ___27___ in the sediment (沉淀物). Is it a tooth, a bone, or a shell? I’m looking for the ___28___ end pieces. Thankfully, my ___29___ phone signal in these areas helps me disconnect from the distractions of the modern world, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the search for fossils. Unlike the rush of daily life, fossils don’t demand my constant _____30_____ because they’ve waited millions of years, and they can wait a little longer.
Once, I brought a bottle-cap-sized trilobite (三叶虫) fossil into the newsroom and kept it within my sight, since it was something I wanted to _____31_____ throughout the day. Turning over that piece of rock is a _____32_____ to remind me of a time long before humans _____33_____ and built cities on these lands.
Thinking about geological time makes me feel small but significant, like the tiny trilobite. As my worried mind _____34_____ , I realize that many of the stressful details don’t really matter. My perspective shifts.

At Jenner Park primary School in Wales, pupils between the ages of seven and nine are writing letters to residents of a local care home. The initiative sees children and their elderly pen pals(笔友) exchange updates about their lives,helping to build relationships between generations while also giving the children an understanding of the value of writing letters by hand—an activity that's becoming less and less common.
Laura Johnson,the teacher who coordinates(协调) the scheme at Jenner Park,says:"All of our writing is for a purpose. That's the key in getting children to value handwriting. "As soon as you put an audience there, knowing that someone out there is going to be reading it—whether that's parents or another group of children—there's always the real sense of pride to go along with it,"says Johnson.
The school maintains a focus on handwriting throughout the years,from dedicated handwriting classes in the prep school to a calligraphy club offered to the older groups. It has created something called the pen license. It allows younger children to move from using a pencil to pen once they've reached a certain standard. "There's a lot of excitement about reaching that pen licence stage," says Johnson.
Johnson adds that developing students' writing in this way matters for their life after school:"For us, it's important that we create citizens of the future who have a set of life skills that can make them successful." The dominance of technology is a challenge,she admits, but she also believes both tools have their place."Obviously we're competing with technology continuously."she says."And I know there are people there saying you don't need to bother about handwriting because tech is out there. But we don't see it as competing. We're trying to get pupils to realize that there's a place for handwriting and to know when it's important to use each."
4. Why does the school launch the initiative?
A. To help children to find the meaning of handwriting.
B. To encourage children to show pity for the aged.
C. To persuade children to choose proper courses.
D. To urge children to acknowledge the audience.
5. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the school?
A. Its after-class activities. B. Its practice in handwriting.
C. Its academic achievements. D. Its innovation in technology.
6. What can we infer from the last paragraph about handwriting?
A. It will win against technology. B. It will give way to technology.
C. It will co-exist with technology. D. It will cause confusion to people.
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Handwriting promotes the pen pal scheme
B. Slow communication reduces misunderstanding
C. Creative ideas for dealing with challenges gain popularity
D. Putting pen to paper contributes to a love of the written word
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D

For many, travel isn’t just about the destination — it’s about making the most of the journey. However, for a lot of people, the journey is often ruined by an uncomfortable experience often accompanied by vomiting (呕吐), known as motion sickness. If you’ve ever felt the unwelcome urge to vomit while reading or using your device in a moving vehicle, you’re not alone. Recognizing this common issue, Apple has stepped up to offer a solution: the Vehicle Motion Cues feature (功能) for iPhones and iPads.
Motion sickness occurs when there is a disconnect between what your eyes see and what your body feels. When you’re in a moving vehicle, your body senses motion through its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if your eyes are focused on a still screen that doesn’t reflect this movement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensory (感官的) conflict can lead to dizziness (头晕), nausea, and overall discomfort — symptoms (症状) all too familiar to motion sickness sufferers.
Apple’s new Vehicle Motion Cues feature is designed to bridge this gap and bring relief to those likely to experience motion sickness. This feature works by showing animated (动画的) dots around your screen, which move at the same time and speed as the motion of your vehicle. These moving cues help keep the motion your body feels in agreement with what your eyes see, effectively reducing the sensory mismatch that causes motion sickness. By matching the visual input with the physical sensations of motion, your brain is less likely to experience the confusion that leads to sickness.
Early reports and user feedback (反馈) indicate that Vehicle Motion Cues is receiving high praise for its effectiveness. So next time you embark on a journey, whether short or long, remember that Apple’s got your back — or rather, your brain - helping you make the most of every mile with ease and comfort.
8. Which type of people can be interested in Vehicle Motion Cues?
A. Frequent travelers. B. Book lovers.
C. Vehicle operators. D. Sport scientists.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The principle of Apple’s new design.
B. The cause of motion sickness.
C. The functions of Apples new design.
D. The symptoms of motion sickness.
10. By displaying animated dots around the screen, Apple's Vehicle Motion Cues is able to _____.
A. ease sensory conflicts in the brain
B. tell the mismatched physical sensations
C. balance the movement of our eyes and body
D. increase the effectiveness of vehicle motion
11. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Make the Most of Your Journey: Apple Bridges the. Gap
B. Find the Magic of a Moving Vehicle: Apple’s Got! Your Back
C. Enjoy Your Reading: Apple Offers a Revolutionary Solution
D. Say Goodbye to Motion Sickness: Apple Introduces Its New Design

What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think of wheat straw? Most people would probably just see it as a pile of waste in a farmer’s field. However Wu Cui, an intangible cultural inheritor, can turn the straw left over from harvested wheat into beautiful and eye-catching functional artworks.
The earliest straw-weaving(草编的)products were discovered at Hemudu Cultural Ruins, a Neolithic cultural site located in eastern China’s Zhejiang province. The Book of Rites, one of the classical works of Confucianism, also records that there were already mats made of cattail grass and professional straw-weaving craftsmen during the Zhou Dynasty(c.11th century-256 BC).
Straw weaving is a method of making daily items or artworks. It was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
Wu explains the process of straw weaving: selection of materials is the first step of a complicated, time consuming and labor-intensive process that can take weeks, or even months, to complete. You need to sketch(索描)the piece on paper, which requires drawing skills. Next comes weaving, shaping and preserving of the work. Even by finishing that process, it does not mean that you will always create a good piece of work, and the hardest part is to make it lifelike.
In the past, woven straw items could be found almost in every household in the countryside, such as straw hats and straw shoes, because they were practical in everyday life. But due to the impact of industrialization, manufactured goods have replaced such products, which cause low profits, and there are only about 100 individuals engaging in the work across the country. “The world has changed, and craftsmen need to transcend(超越)practicality and pursue the beauty and artistry of straw culture to help the craft survive and thrive(茁壮成长),” Wu says.
From her perspective, straw weaving should respond to people’s needs and preferences, while still drawing inspiration from traditional culture, “Craftspeople should make a great effort to grasp the trends and opportunities of the times to create new and relevant products,” she says. When asked about her plans, Wu says she wants to dig deeper into local traditional culture and create cultural creative products by developing the straw-weaving technique.
12. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about straw-weaving products?
A. Their historic origins. B. Their cultural value.
C. Their major uses. D. Their producing process.
13. Which is the most difficult part for straw-weaving craftsmen according to Wu Cui?
A. Selecting suitable materials. B. Drawing sketches on paper.
C. Making the artworks vivid. D. Preserving finished products.
14. What can we learn from Wu Cui’s opinion according to the last paragraph?
A. Craftsmen should bring forth new ideas in the crafts based on traditional culture
B. Pursuing fashion should be the first preference for eraftspeople.
C. Local people benefit a lot from the straw—weaving techniques.
D Straw-weaving products are out of favor with customers.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain the process of straw weaving. B. To present the future of a traditional culture.
C. To introduce a way to pursue the beauty and artistry. D. To propose a new means of crafting.
