Spring (By Shakespeare, the UK) The world’s fairest season, when the earth in bloom is dressed, The air is filled with fragrance, as the flowers burst into bloom, The birds take to the sky, and their melodies fill the air, As they sing of love and beauty, in this wondrous time of year. The first poem might be one of the most famous poems about spring in China. It’s simple and easy to keep in mind. Meng writes about more detailed information of the season, including the weather, birds and even sounds. Shakespeare’s poem celebrates the beauty of spring. As spring comes, everything seems to grow actively and hopefully. Just as a Chinese saying goes, “A year’s plan starts with spring.” 41. Which word may be the most suitable for the blank “______”? A. rains B. showers C. storms D. snows 42. Which of the following do the two poems include in common (共同)? ①flowers ②sky ③wind ④birds A. ①② B. ②③ C. ①④ D. ②④ 43.

Heilongjiang has become a popular travel place this winter. The 25th Harbin Ice and Snow World continues to catch many tourists’ attention. The amusement park covers an area of 810,000 square meters. Visitors mostly came to enjoy the beauty when it gets dark. They can enjoy more than 1,000 works of art, all made of ice and snow. But the Harbin Ice and Snow World is not the only place to go. There are many other good choices, too. Tourists can also enjoy having barbecues (烧烤) in Qiqihar and going to hot springs in Daqing. They could even watch the sun rise in Fuyuan, China’s easternmost city. The Harbin subway is running longer hours to meet people’s needs. Passengers can use free tickets to travel between the stations of the Sun Island and the Ice and Snow World. So it’s easier for them to go to the two main events taking place there. Heilongjiang also wrote a thank-you letter to all the tourists. It thanked them for visiting and taking part in different activities. All their short videos and travel articles online, the letter points out, have made Heilongjiang known to more people. The letter also invited visitors to share their feelings. Besides, the letter encouraged visitors to make suggestions. All this would make the province a better place as problems can be solved as soon as possible. Their likes and suggestions, the letter says, encourage the province to do a better job. Even in a cold season like this, the enthusiasm (热情) of tourists can be felt all over the country. 44. What attracts (吸引) tourists most in Harbin Ice and Snow World? A. The activities in the amusement park. B. The beauty of the amusement park at night. C. The process of making ice and snow art works.

A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ③④⑤ 【答案】44. B 45. B 46. D 47. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了黑龙江成为了今年冬天的热门旅游地，哈尔滨冰雪大世界吸引了许多游客以及黑龙江写了一封感谢信给所有的游客并介绍了感谢信的内容。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Visitors mostly came to enjoy the beauty when it gets dark.”可知，游客们大多是在天黑时来欣赏冰雪大世界的美景，即哈尔滨冰雪大世界最吸引游客的是游乐园夜晚的美景。故选B。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据“There are many other good choices, too. Tourists can also enjoy having barbecues in Qiqihar and going to hot springs in Daqing. They could even watch the sun rise in Fuyuan, China’s easternmost city.”可知，还有许多其他不错的选择，游客还可以享受在齐齐哈尔烧烤，在大庆泡温泉，甚至可以在中国最东部的城市抚远观看日出，即作者第2段提到了三种其他好的选择。故选B。 【46题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Passengers can use free tickets to travel between the stations of the Sun Island and the Ice and Snow World. So it’s easier for them to go to the two main events taking place there.”可知，旅客可以使用免费车票往返于太阳岛和冰雪世界的车站之间，即去看在那里举行的两项主要活动对旅客们来说是更容易的，可推测them指“游客们”，即passengers“游客”。故选D。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It thanked them for visiting and taking part in different activities. All their short videos and travel articles online, the letter points out, have made Heilongjiang known to more people. The letter also invited visitors to share their feelings. Besides, the letter encouraged visitors to make suggestions.”可知，黑龙江感谢他们的访问和参加各种活动，信中指出，网上的短视频和旅游文章都让更多的人了解了黑龙江，这封信还邀请游客分享他们的感受，此外，这封信鼓励游客提出建议，即C选项“①向游客表示感谢。③向游客征求建议。④了解游客的感受。”与文章相符。故选C。 C When Toad learned that he was a prisoner, he lay on the floor and cried for a long time.

Second, people always buy new clothes, especially for kids. Then, they put up couplets on both sides of the front doors. They also put up the Chinese character “Fu” in the middle of the door and paper-cut pictures on the windows. The most important thing is that dumplings and the family reunion dinner are a must. There are many kinds of special dishes. But among all the dishes, fish is always on the table, which symbolizes (象征) a rich year and good luck.

They use colors, feelings, and experiences to paint a picture in your mind. Spring is a fine season. It lights up people’s feelings and brings hope. Read the following poems. A Spring Morning (By Meng Haoran, China) This spring morning in bed I’m lying, Not to awake till the birds are crying. After one night of wind and ______, How many are the fallen flowers? Spring (By Shakespeare, the UK) The world’s fairest season, when the earth in bloom is dressed, The air is filled with fragrance, as the flowers burst into bloom, The birds take to the sky, and their melodies fill the air, As they sing of love and beauty, in this wondrous time of year. The first poem might be one of the most famous poems about spring in China. It’s simple and easy to keep in mind. Meng writes about more detailed information of the season, including the weather, birds and even sounds. Shakespeare’s poem celebrates the beauty of spring. As spring comes, everything seems to grow actively and hopefully. Just as a Chinese saying goes, “A year’s plan starts with spring.” 41. Which word may be the most suitable for the blank “______”? A. rains B. showers C. storms D. snows 42. Which of the following do the two poems include in common (共同)? ①flowers ②sky ③wind ④birds A. ①② B. ②③ C. ①④ D. ②④ 43. In Shakespeare’s eyes, what is spring like? A. Boring. B. Silent. C. Exciting D. Hopeful. B The weather is cold, but people’s hearts are not. Heilongjiang has become a popular travel place this winter. The 25th Harbin Ice and Snow World continues to catch many tourists’ attention. The amusement park covers an area of 810,000 square meters. Visitors mostly came to enjoy the beauty when it gets dark. They can enjoy more than 1,000 works of art, all made of ice and snow. But the Harbin Ice and Snow World is not the only place to go. There are many other good choices, too. Tourists can also enjoy having barbecues (烧烤) in Qiqihar and going to hot springs in Daqing. They could even watch the sun rise in Fuyuan, China’s easternmost city. The Harbin subway is running longer hours to meet people’s needs. Passengers can use free tickets to travel between the stations of the Sun Island and the Ice and Snow World. So it’s easier for them to go to the two main events taking place there. Heilongjiang also wrote a thank-you letter to all the tourists. It thanked them for visiting and taking part in different activities. All their short videos and travel articles online, the letter points out, have made Heilongjiang known to more people. The letter also invited visitors to share their feelings. Besides, the letter encouraged visitors to make suggestions. All this would make the province a better place as problems can be solved as soon as possible. Their likes and suggestions, the letter says, encourage the province to do a better job. Even in a cold season like this, the enthusiasm (热情) of tourists can be felt all over the country. 44. What attracts (吸引) tourists most in Harbin Ice and Snow World? A. The activities in the amusement park. B. The beauty of the amusement park at night. C. The process of making ice and snow art works.
