Kitzbühel, Austria
For anyone who is passionate about alpine skiing, in terms of both watching and participating, the legendary Kitzbühel is a ski resort worth experiencing. Not only is it perfect for following the prestigious downhill race every February, skiers of all ability levels can even test your own skills on these amazing slopes.
Val Thorens, France
You’ll get to enjoy 600 kilometres of interconnected runs at an altitude of 2,300 metres, making it the highest in Europe. Val Thorens is fantastic for advanced skiers. Enjoying your time going down the snow-covered slopes, or trying your hand at snowboarding tricks on the most challenging ones, you are to experience skiing in its purest, some would say its best form.
Saas-Fee, Switzerland
Saas-Fee offers some fantastic scenery and slopes for ski-lovers, amateurs in particular. The snow reliability and the fantastic cosy atmosphere make it one of the best resorts that is well suited to holiday-goers looking to get away from the busy urban life.
Val Gardena, Italy
Small as the resort is, with only one lift in operation, there are designated areas and shared slopes and routes for everything from snowboarding to cross-country skiing. If you are not an enthusiastic skier, the region, with its beautiful climate, has plenty to do off the slopes as well from tasty restaurants to lively bars.

What should we get for our kids this holiday? As children get older, giving them something they can experience instead of material things makes them happier, according to a new research led by Chaplin.
The research compared the level of happiness children get from material things with that from experiences. The results showed that children aged 3-12 get more happiness from material things than from experiences. However, older children get more happiness from experiences than from their possessions.
“It means experiences are highly preferred by adolescents, not just expensive material things, like some might think,”Chaplin says. She goes on to explain,”Don’t get me wrong. Young children do love experiences. And given this concept, theme parks such as Disneyland are being built everywhere. In fact, young children are excited throughout the experience. However, for experiences to provide lasting happiness, children must be able to recall details of the events.”
Long after they have unwrapped their Legos and stuffed animals, there will still be a physical reminder to give them happiness. However, young children can’t see or touch experiences after they are over, making it harder for them to appreciate experiences after a long time. There’s an easy fix, though, according to Chaplin.
“Take pictures or videos of family walks, playing in the snow, and birthday parties,”she said.“Children are likely to appreciate those experiences more if there is something to remind them of the event. Additionally, they’ll be able to learn the social value of shared experiences.”
Children will remember and appreciate not only the birthday gifts they received, but also the time spent with family and friends as they recall the experience through concrete reminders such as photos and videos.
Since memory is developed over time, it’s likely that children, especially young ones, may not get as much happiness from past experiences as from possessions. But with age, creating new memories and exploring new interests may be far more valuable than getting possessions.
24. Why are theme parks springing up according to Chaplin?
A.They can offer children lasting happiness.
B. Events in them are centered on specific themes.
C. Direct involvement in events there caters to children.
D. Kids have an affection for the atmosphere they offer.
25. The underlined word “fix” in Paragraph4 can be replaced be________.
A. solution B. arrangement
C. preparation D. focus
26. Which of the following would Chaplin probably agree with?
A. Videos appeal to children more than gifts.
B. Legos and stuffed animals are not kid’s cup of tea.
C. Older children value family time more than younger ones.
D. Physical reminders help remember past experiences better.
27. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Experiences are better gifts for older children.
B. Social values should be put in the first place.
C. New interests are most precious for children.
D. Material possessions bring more happiness to children.
C
In 2019, more than 1.4 million young people around the globe took part in the School Strikes for Climate Action protests that were largely advocated by 17-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. The inspirational young Swede, while a media favourite, is far from the first or last young person to fight for a better environmental future.
With the rise of social media in recent years, websites such as YouTube provide accessible coverage on ecological matters that quickly gather millions of views, and links to new scientific information are easily shared between peers. But, it's not just online research that exposes the truth, and it's not a distant threat either. Climate change is happening around us as we speak; an increase of droughts and heatwaves means a loss of crop production and one and a half acres of forest is cut down every second.
Of course, just because young people are now readily armed with statistics such as these doesn't mean all adults will eagerly listen to them. Many write off young activists simply due to their age, and others still aren't willing to see the environmental challenges we face, but that doesn't mean a difference can't be made.
A study on participants aged 16-24 in the UN climate negotiations revealed that adults perceived younger activists as being more trustworthy due to the lack of financial incentives （刺激）to be there. Young activists often have an independent view of what's going on and, being free from politics, they often say what adults aren't willing to.
So, it seems achieving a carbon neutral world in the fixture might depend on young determined voices inspiring experienced adults who can make a difference.
28. Why is Greta Thunberg mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To show that the young activists are playing a part.
B. To give an introduction to Greta Thunberg.
C. To illustrate the seriousness of climate change.
D. To arouse readers' interest in environmental protection.
29. What does the underlined phrase "write off" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Consider unimportant. B. Take seriously. C. Give up. D. Write down.
30. what does paragraph 4 focus on?
A. The way young activists work.
B. The advantages young activists have.
C. The contributions young activists make.
D. The differences between adult activists and young activists.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Greta Thunberg: an outstanding activist.
B. Climate change: a matter needing everyone's attention.
C. The rise of social media makes ecological matters accessible.
D. The young are making a difference to the environmental future
D
Most damagingly, anger weakens a person’s ability to think clearly and keep control over his behaviour.The angry person loses objectivity in evaluating the emotional significance of the person or situation that arouses his anger.
Not everyone experience anger in the same way; what angers one person may amuse another.The specific expression of anger also differs from person to person based on biological and cultural forces.In contemporary culture,physical expressions of anger are generally considered too socially harmful to be tolerated.We no longer regard duels(决斗)as an appropriate expression of anger resulting from one person’s awareness of insulting behaviour on the part of another.
Anger can be identified in the brain,where the electrical activity changes.Under most conditions,EEG(脑电图)measures of electrical activity show balanced activity between the right and left prefrontal(额叶前部)areas. Behaviourally this corresponds to the general even-handed disposition(意向)that most of us possess most of the time.But when we are angry the EEG of the right and left prefrontal areas aren’t balanced and,as a result of this,we’re likely to react.And our behavioural response to anger is different from our response to other emotions,whether positive or negative.
Most positive emotions are associated with approach behaviour:we move closer to people we like.Most negative emotions,in contrastare associated with avoidance behaviour:we move away from people and things that we dislike or that make us anxious.But anger is an exception to this pattern.The angrier we are,the more likely we are to move towards the object of our anger.
This corresponds to what psychologists refer to as offensive anger:the angry person moves closer in order to influence and control the person or situation causing his anger.This approach-and-confront behaviour is accompanied by a leftward prefrontal asymmetry(不对称)of EEG activity.Interestingly,this asymmetry lessens if the angry person can experience empathy(同感)towards the individual who is bringing forth the angry response.In defensive anger,in contrast,the EEG asymmetry is directed to the right and the angry person feels helpless in the face of the anger-inspiring situation.
32.The “duels” example in Paragraph 2 proves that the expression of anger
A.usually has a biological basis B.varies among people
C.is socially and culturally shaped D.influences one’s thinking and evaluation
33.What changes can be found in an angry brain?
A.Balanced electrical activity can be spotted.
B.Unbalanced patterns are found in prefrontal areas.
C.Electrical activity corresponds to one’s behaviour.
D.Electrical activity agrees with one’s disposition.
34.Which of the following is typical of offensive anger?
A.Approaching the source of anger. B.Trying to control what is disliked.
C.Moving away from what is disliked. D.Feeling helpless in the face of anger.
35.What is the key message of the last paragraph?
A.How anger differs from other emotions. B.How anger relates to other emotions.
C.Behavioural responses to anger. D.Behavioural patterns of anger.
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.
Shooting down an ice-covered track, a bobsled （大雪橇）can go faster than 80 miles an hour. 36 The answer is a combination of athletics and science.
At the start of a race, the crews push their sled, building up speed before they jump in for the ride. For months before the race, the crew members have built up explosive power in their legs. That means doing a lot of jumps, and sprints （冲刺跑）.It also means pushing heavy sleds! The push is the crew's only chance to add speed. 37
The design of the sled's runners （滑板） reduces their friction with the ice. 38 They may not melt enough ice for a fast ride. Runners that are too rounded may become too warm, softening the ice and slowing the sled down.
39 . The rules state that all runners must be made of the same type of steel, and crews may polish them using only approved materials. Before each race, officials
