It’s outside the Queen’s House (where Elizabeth II was born) and has a great view of the River Thames, creating a wonderful skating experience. It’s a little cheaper than competing museum ice rinks, and less busy, too. There is no need to book tickets online. You can simply turn up and buy tickets there. Next to the outdoor ice rink there is an indoor bar for those who simply wish to watch, and it’s open until late. ‎ ‎●Ticket prices: adult from ￡13.50, child from ￡6.75‎ Skating Heroes, Hungary Budapest’s City Park ice rink opens daily from November to February: it’s one of the largest and oldest open-air rinks in Europe and it is beautiful. It is easily reached by train or subway. A cafe serve hot chocolate, wine and traditional chimney cakes. If you are fortunate, you may see some of Budapest’s older residents ballroom dancing on the ice. ‎ ‎●Ticket prices: adult from ￡3.50, child free ‎ Bite-Size, Poland Among the old townhouses and shops of Warsaw’s Old Market Place is a unique Polish rink — shaped like a bagel (面包圈).

Once you’ve burned all those calories on the ice, you’ll be pleased to see the square is packed with Warsaw’s best cooks, serving street food until late. ‎ ‎●Ticket prices: from ￡2‎ Spikersuppa, Norway ‎ It is a great skating rink in downtown Oslo. For the best skating, you should go there late in the evening, as the kids all head home — it’s lit until 9 pm, the music will play and the hot chocolate will flow.

It sounds like something out of a fairytale (童话故事), but it’s true!‎ Joao Pereira de Souza is a 71-year-old retired worker and part-time fisherman. He lives in an island village just outside Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He found the small penguin lying on rocks at his local beach in 2015.‎ The penguin was starving and covered in oil. Joao rescued the penguin, naming him Din Din, cleaned the oil off his feathers and fed him a daily diet of fish to rebuild his strength.‎ When Din Din recovered, Mr.. de Souza set him free into the sea, never expecting to see his new friend again.‎ The little guy wasn’t gone long though, and just a few months later, he was back at the same beach. He spotted Joao fishing and followed him home, staying with him for the rest of the year.‎ Amazingly, this cycle has continued over the past five years. Each year Din Din spends about eight months with Joao and is believed to spend the rest of the time breeding on the Patagonia coasts of Argentina and Chile.‎ ‎“I love the penguin like he’s my own child and I believe the penguin loves me,” Joao told Globo TV. “No one else is allowed to touch him. He attacks them if they do. He lies on my lap, lets me give him showers, allows me to feed him fish and to pick him up.”‎ Professor Krajewski, a biologist who interviewed the fisherman for Globo TV, said: “I have never seen anything like this before. I think the penguin believes Joao is part of his family and probably a penguin as well.”‎ ‎4. What was Din Din like when Joao found him?‎ A. He was hungry and weak.‎ B. He was trapped in oil and couldn’t breathe.‎ C. He couldn’t find his way back home.‎ D. He was dying on the coast.‎ ‎5. What happened a few months after Joao saved Din Din?‎ A. Din Din returned and spent the rest of his life with Joao.‎ B. Din Din guided Joao to the place where he bred.‎ C. Din Din helped Joao with fishing at the beach. ‎ D. Din Din returned and spent about eight months a year with Joao.‎ ‎6. How does Joao describe the relationship between himself and Din Din?‎ A. Partners.‎ B. Fisherman and prey.‎ C. Father and child.‎ D. Animal and keeper.‎ ‎7. Why does Din Din spend so much time with Joao, according to Professor Krajewski?‎ A. Because he considers Joao as his family.‎ B. Because Joao helped him to live in the sea.‎ C. Because Joao can provide him with food and shelter.‎ D. Because Joao can help him raise his babies.‎ C The world’s oldest sweet shop has been put up for sale in North Yorkshire after its owner wanted to be elected the county’s next police commissioner (局长).‎ The Patley Bridge store was founded in 1827 and simply called The Oldest Sweet Shop in the World. It has been run by one-time police officer Keith Tordoff for more than 20 years. But now the former officer is set to leave behind his old-fashioned sweet jars. And, if police are quite different from sweets, the 63-year-old officer is convinced that he can be equally effective leading the emergency services.‎ ‎“I’ve a proven track record (可靠的工作业绩) in succeeding and completing at the things I set out to do,” he told The Independent. “I know first-hand about policing and first-hand about managing successful organisations, which are the exact qualities needed.”‎ ‎“It’s not been an easy decision to make,” said Mr. Tordoff. “Running this shop has been a joy. My parents brought me here for sweets when I was a boy, so getting the chance to buy it and then run it with my wife and our son was a dream that had come true.”‎ ‎“People are fascinated by it. And why wouldn’t they be? We all love sweets, don’t we? I give talks about sweets in my spare time. I’m always asked what our most popular kind is. And the answer? Rhubarb and custard,” he says. “You see, you think they’re old-fashioned, but what happens is that grandparents come in, buy their grandchildren what they used to have themselves, and then the kids fall in love with them, too.” It’s the same with chocolate mice and pear drops, too, apparently.‎ He hopes to sell the shop — which was recognized in 2014 by Guinness World Records — for ￡399,000.‎ ‎8. What does Keith Tordoff plan to do?‎ A. Sell the sweets in his shop at a discount. ‎ B. Make his sweet shop the longest running one. ‎ C. Change his career and run for police chief.‎ D. Close his sweet shop and donate the sweets to charity. ‎ ‎9. What is Keith Tordoff’s feeling about the thing he plans to do?‎ A. He considers himself to be well qualified for the new job.‎ B. He is terrified that his shop will be closed.‎ C. He thinks it is very easy to leave the things he is doing now behind. ‎ D. He believes he will make a fortune by selling his shop. ‎ ‎10. What do we know about the Patley Bridge shop from the passage?‎ A. It sells sweets that are very fashionable. ‎ B. It has a very long history.‎ C. Its present owner doesn’t like it much. ‎ D. It stands in the way of its owner. ‎ ‎11. What do children think of the sweets sold in Patley Bridge?‎ A. They are only attracted by their colors. ‎ B. They like the sweets just like their grandparents.‎ C. They refuse to have a taste of them. ‎ D. They think there are very few kinds of sweets.‎ D Nine years ago, when the closest and largest full moon fell on March 19, 2011, many people used the term, “supermoon”, which we had never heard before. In 2012, we heard this term again to describe the year’s closest full moon on May 6, 2012. Supermoons also appeared in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2019.‎ What does “supermoon” mean exactly? And how special was the March 19, 2011 supermoon?‎ The word “supermoon” didn’t come from astronomy. Instead, it came from astrology (占星学). In 1979, astrologer Richard Nolle defined it as a new or full moon which occurs at or near its closest point to the earth in its orbit. In short, the earth, moon and sun are all in a line, with the moon at its nearest point to the earth.‎ And the full moon of March 19, 2011 was the largest moon of that year. This “supermoon” was at perigee (近地点) — its closest point to the earth in its orbit. It was bigger and brighter than other full moons of 2011. Astronomers call this sort of close full moon a perigee full moon. ‎ That doesn’t sound very special, does it? In fact, the March 2011 full moon lined up much more closely with perigee than Nolle’s original definition. But were you able to notice with your eyes alone that this full moon was bigger or brighter than usual? Astronomers said no. But it was fun to stand outside under this full moon and know that the moon was closer than ever.‎ In 2019, there were three supermoons. The first supermoon of 2019 was the Super Blood Wolf Moon on January 21, which occurred with a total lunar eclipse (月全食) at the same time, also known as a “blood moon”. The second supermoon of 2019 was on February 19, also called the Snow Moon, which was the closest full moon of the year. The third and final supermoon of 2019, known by Native Americans as the Worm Moon, occurred on March 21. It fell on the day of the vernal equinox (春分), which signals the end of winter and the beginning of spring.‎ ‎12. What type of moon is a “supermoon”?‎ A. A full moon.‎ B. A new moon.‎ C. A full moon at perigee.‎ D. Any full moon in 2011.‎ ‎13. What do we know about the supermoon of March 2011?‎ A. It was the first full moon in 2011. ‎ B. It was in the closest orbit to the sun.‎ C. It was brighter than any other full moon in 2011.‎ D. It was at its furthest point from the earth.‎ ‎14. What can we learn from the underlined sentences in the fifth paragraph about a supermoon and an ordinary full moon?‎ A. They can appear in the sky at the same time.‎ B. Only astronomers can see them. ‎ C. The supermoon is as large as an ordinary full moon.‎ D. People can’t tell the difference between them with the naked eye.‎ ‎15. The third supermoon of 2019 __________.‎ A. was called the Super Blood Wolf Moon B. was the closest full moon of the year C. was found by Native Americans first D. occurred on the day of the vernal equinox 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）‎ 根据短文内容，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。‎ Father Christmas might be used to making miracles each and every year, but he may fail to make dreams come true for some of Britain’s children in recent years. 16 ‎ According to a survey of children’s wish lists, the tenth most asked for present was for a dad, while the first was for a baby brother or sister.‎ The survey showed that children aged 3 to 12 were hoping for expensive presents including a car, at number four, and a house, at number seven. 17 The gifts included chocolates at number six and a stick of rock candy at number nine. A total of 17 out of the top 50 requests were for unusual pets, including elephants and donkeys. 18 iPhones and iPads both appeared in the top 50 most desired Christmas gifts.‎ ‎ 19 That is because “Dad” came in at number 10, while “Mum” only made it in as the 23rd most requested present on their little ones’ lists.‎ ‎ 20 One child asked for the actress, Eva Longoria. And another child wished Taylor Swift would come knocking on the door on Christmas morning.‎ A. The latest electronics also made a strong appearance on the wish lists.‎ B. But there were some gifts in the top ten that were more easily provided.‎ C. The UK’s mums might be a little upset.‎ D. That’s because children’s Christmas wish lists contain many gifts not always readily available. ‎ E. “Mum” is the more desired Christmas gift compared to “Dad”. ‎ F. Unbelievably, some famous people were also a popular choice as Christmas gifts.‎ G. Britain’s children are not satisfied with Christmas gifts from Father Christmas.‎ 第二部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分)‎ 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ A new cafe culture is forming in and around San Francisco, California. A growing number of coffeehouses there are banning paper cups.‎ ‎ 21 , they are using glass containers or creating “bring your own” cup policies. The movement started among neighborhood cafes in an effort to ‎ 22 waste. Now it is gaining 23 from large businesses in the city — and around the country.‎ The Blue Bottle coffeehouse company is starting small with plans to 24 using paper cups at two of its stores in 2020. The move is part of a promise to produce “zero 25 ” by the end of the year. 26 will have to bring their own cups or pay a(n) 27 US$3 to US$5 for a reusable cup. They can keep the cup or 28 it to get their money back.‎ The company’s CEO, Bryan Meehan, said that the new program will help 29 the company on how to expand（扩展） its policy nationwide. He said, “We may 30 some business, because some of our guests won’t like it, but we’re prepared for that.”‎ Larger coffee and fast-food businesses around the U.S. are feeling a sense of urgency to be more environmentally 31 . Today’s paper cups for hot drinks are not only made from paper, but they also have plastic to 32 leaking (渗漏). This makes them difficult to recycle. It is unlikely that large national food and drink companies will stop using paper cups 33 or ask all customers to bring their own. So they are 34 other solutions. Starbucks and McDonald’s have 35 US$10 million to develop the “recyclable cup of the future”. The result is expected to be recyclable and to break down naturally.‎ ‎21. A. Therefore B. Moreover C.

So in 2001, when Disney announced that they were opening California Adventure, it was a big deal. I remember I was only six years old when I went there for the first time. I’ve been told that as a child I was very naughty and energetic, but always well-meaning. There was just this joy I got from making people angry. This relates to going to California Adventure for the first time ever with my grandmother and it is my oldest memory with her.‎ On this fine day of fun and all things Disney, we reached the park’s Ferris wheel, called the Sun Wheel (now Mickey’s Fun Wheel). If you do not know what the Sun Wheel is, I can briefly explain; it is the most terrifying Ferris wheel in all existence. Why? Well, the ‎ seat that you sit in, while 160 feet in the air, slides inward and outward as the wheel rotates (翻滚). If you rocked it hard enough, it could almost do a complete 360-degree spin (旋转). This creates a terrifying experience because it is like a 160-foot-tall swing.‎ So I stood in the line with my grandmother, and neither of us had any idea that this was not an ordinary Ferris wheel. After a long wait it was finally our turn to ride it. We sat inside, began to rise up and that’s when I discovered the ride’s special feature. I started with slow, easy rocking and my grandmother began to fear for her life. Worried we would fall out, she asked me to stop. ‎ Paragraph I: Since I was a very naughty boy, I rocked it harder... ________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________‎ Paragraph II: But to my surprise, my grandma actually enjoyed the terrifying experience with me... ___________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________‎ ‎_______________________________________‎ 参考答案 ‎1-5 BACAD 6-10 CACAB 11-15 BCCDD 16-20 DBACF ‎21-25 DBCBB 26-30 CCADD 31-35 ACBCD 36. respect ‎ 37. opportunity 36. amounts 37. awarded ‎ 38. range ‎ 39. response ‎ 40. approach ‎ 41. harm ‎ 42. memory 43. charge ‎ 44. proved/proves 45. energy 46. achievements ‎ 47. equipment 48. reflect ‎ 49.

Each time I rocked harder, she asked me to stop. But I was having too much fun scaring her and swinging around, so what did I do? I rocked it as hard as my little body could manage. It got to the point that my grandmother was yelling at the top of her lungs, while kicking and screaming for me to stop. It was so much fun. The ride finished and I knew I was going to be in trouble.‎ But to my surprise, my grandma actually enjoyed the terrifying experience with me. I actually didn’t get in trouble, but she vowed to never ride it with me again. To this day, my grandma and I still recall and laugh about our terrifying Sun Wheel experience. She's told me that she always thinks back to that moment when she thinks about how much I have changed since then, and I always think back to it as a fun experience with her that I will never forget.‎ 答案解析 第一部分 第一节 A篇 ‎【语篇导读】本文介绍了几个欧洲最好的滑冰场。‎ ‎11.
