Over the holiday period there should ideally be a white Christmas at village level, too. Go for a vacation spot that's over 1,800 metres high and snow cover won't be a worry.‎ Val Thorens, France Resort (胜地) height: 2,300－3,230m Pistes (滑雪道): 495km Usual season: Late November to early May From late November to early May, snow cover is rarely a problem in Val Thorens — it's the highest ski village in Europe with 99% of it above 2,000 m, and suitable for beginners and intermediates. The excellent choice of independent ski schools here includes New Generation. The tourist attraction has benefited from new, attractive buildings, and a great collection of restaurants.‎ Val d'Isère, France Resort height: 1,850－3,456m Pistes: 300km Usual season: Late November to early May Val d'Isère is one of the Alps' bestknown vacation spots for advanced skiers and boarders, which means it's not the cheapest. But this is the one place that has plenty of snow at Christmas, especially as it has the largest snowmaking operation in Europe. It can pump out enough snow to cover Wembley Stadium in a metre of snow in less than an hour.‎ Obergurgl, Austria Resort height: 1,950－3,080m Pistes: 110km Usual season: MidNovember to early May Obergurgl has been popular with British families for more than half a century, with a mainly easy ski area linked by gondola (缆车车厢) to the higher village of Hochgurgl. The climate is snowsure, so this is one of the first major tourist attractions to open for the winter, normally in midNovember.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文，介绍了适合不同的人滑雪的旅行目的地的相关信息。‎ ‎1．Where should people who just start skiing go?‎ A．Val Thorens.　　　　　　 B．Val d'Isère.‎ C．Obergurgl.

There you'll find the heart of this lovely community. It's where villagers meet and greet friends.‎ When Angelica's post office was threatened with being closed in the 1980s, a villager, Pat, came up with a plan to save it. “At Christmas time I would hear on the news about towns named Snow or Bethlehem having celebrations，” says Pat. “Why couldn't we do the same thing with Angelica？”‎ Pat, who is an artist, created a postal cancellation (邮戳) design featuring an Angelica angel. She drew her angels in a traditional fashion and submitted her suggestion to the U．S. Postal Service. Once approved, the drawing was carved into a stamp cancellation that could be used for one day only. The postmistress (女邮局局长) then had another idea to make the day even more special — calling the post office Angel Station.‎ The large increase in mail amount saved Angelica's post office from being closed and keeps the doors open today.‎ Now it's tradition that on the first Friday in December, people come to Angelica to mail their Christmas cards. Each year the amount of mail going through the Angelica Post Office increases during late November and early December. Stamp collectors from around the world have accepted the Angel Station cancellation, some sending mail from as far away as France.‎ Because the stamp is destroyed each season, Pat draws a new angel that conveys season's greetings from Angel Station every year. Post offices may close in other parts of the country, but this tiny one continues.‎ 语篇解读：纽约的一个小村庄Angelica的邮局即将被迫关闭，艺术家帕特提出新的想法，女邮局局长也给邮局更换了名字，从而使邮局正常运营下去。‎ ‎5．What did Pat do to save the post office?‎ A．She invented a new cancellation.‎ B．She hosted Christmas celebrations.‎ C．She gave the office a better name.‎ D．She designed a special set of stamps.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“Pat, who is an ‎ artist, created a postal cancellation (邮戳) design featuring an Angelica angel.”可知，帕特创造了一个邮戳，邮戳上是一个Angelica天使，故选A。‎ ‎6．Which of the following can best describe Pat?‎ A．Curious and friendly.‎ B．Stubborn and determined.‎ C．Creative and warmhearted.‎ D．Humorous and intelligent.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。通读文章可知，帕特为了Angelica的邮局不被关闭，创造新的邮戳来帮助邮局增加邮件数量，由此可知她是一位热心且具有创造性的人。‎ ‎7．What can we learn about Angelica's post office from the passage?‎ A．It was completely closed in the 1980s.‎ B．It is also the center of local social life.‎ C．Its name has been changed many times.‎ D．Its stamps remain the same each season.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It's where villagers meet and greet friends.”可知，Angelica的邮局是村民会见朋友的地方，这说明Angelica的邮局是当地社交活动的中心，所以B项正确。‎ C One Sunday Malachi Bradley was searching for wild mushrooms in eastern Utah when he realized he had wandered too far from the mountain lake where he was hiking with his father and siblings.‎ The 10yearold boy tried looking for a road to flag down a driver, but the area about 200 miles east of Salt Lake City was too remote. He remembered the survival skills his father had taught him and eventually ‎ hunkered (蹲下) down between rocks still warm from the sun to protect himself from the cold mountain night.‎ ‎“It was strange not having anybody with me, but I just kept going. I knew I had to make it back, or my family would be really sad，” Malachi said on Tuesday. Over the nearly 30 hours he was missing in the backcountry. He found river water to drink and even tried unsuccessfully to catch a fish with a spear made from a stick.‎ Meanwhile, dozens of search and rescue workers were searching the area on horses and ATVs (全地形车), as well as in the air, but they couldn't spot Malachi in the wooded area.‎ As night fell and temperature dropped, Malachi wrapped his Tshirt around his legs, huddled in his jacket and protected himself from the weather between the rocks. The remaining warmth helped him get through the night.‎ Back at Paul Lake, his father, Danny Bradley, and a friend who had joined them for the camping were keeping a fire burning, hoping the boy might wander back by himself. As the hours wore on, Bradley imagined his son alone in the woods and was terrified that he might be hurt.‎ The next day, Malachi heard a police helicopter flying overhead. He knew the searchers aboard the craft couldn't see him through the trees, so he started walking again until he found a clearing. He stayed there and briefly fell asleep until a search plane spotted him from the air and a helicopter landed to pick him up on Monday.‎ ‎“Malachi was found about five miles southeast of where he went missing，” Uintah County Sheriff Vance Norton said. It appeared that he wandered down a deep and narrow valley and over a hill before he found the clearing.‎ Malachi said he would go camping again, but next time he would ‎ not get away from other people. “I've learned from my mistakes，” he said.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个在丛林中迷路的小男孩独自求生，并最终获救的故事。‎ ‎8．What did Malachi manage to do to survive?‎ A．Build a shelter on his own.‎ B．Catch a fish with a spear.‎ C．Stay between rocks at night.‎ D．Find a road to stop a passing car.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“... eventually hunkered (蹲下) down between rocks still warm from the sun to protect himself from the cold mountain night”和第五段中的“As night fell and temperature dropped ... protected himself from the weather between the rocks.”可知，他蹲在温暖的石头之间来抵御夜晚的寒冷。故选C项。‎ ‎9．How could the plane spot Malachi?‎ A．He kept waving and shouting loudly.‎ B．He stood on the top of a rock.‎ C．He used his Tshirt to make a signal.‎ D．He stayed in an area without trees or bushes.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第七段中的“... so he started walking again until he found a clearing. He stayed there and briefly fell asleep until a search plane spotted him from the air ...”可知，为了让直升机发现他，他找到了一块林中空地。clearing意为“空地”。故选D项。‎ ‎10．We can infer from the passage that ________.‎ A．Danny Bradley kept a fire burning to let his son know the way back B．Malachi Bradley was searching for some flowers when he got lost C．Malachi always stayed where he went missing and waited for rescue D．Malachi's teacher once taught him how to survive in a wilderness 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Back at Paul Lake, his father, Danny Bradley, and a friend who had joined them for the camping were keeping a fire burning, hoping the boy might wander back by himself.”可知，他的父亲和一个朋友在营地让火一直燃烧，是希望男孩可以自己走回来。故选A项。‎ ‎11．What lesson does Malachi Bradley learn from the experience?‎ A．Be brave when in danger.‎ B．Stay close to others when camping.‎ C．Be cautious to take an adventure.‎ D．Believe in oneself when facing difficulties.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“... but next time he would not get away from other people”可知，下一次他不会再离开其他人了。故选B项。‎ D ‎(2019·成都市高中毕业班第二次诊断性检测)Fans of the movie Finding Nemo may remember the terrifying fish that scares Dory and Marlin at the bottom of a trench.‎ But in reality this “monster”， a black seadevil, is only about 9cm long, which would make it about a third of the size of Dory and potentially smaller than Marlin or Nemo.‎ While this inaccuracy may seem harmless, it could cause problems for future conservation efforts, as people are more likely to support ‎ conservation of adorable rather than scarylooking animals.‎ The black seadevil is just one of the mysterious “monsters”. From 2000－2010, scientists described about 1,200 new species in the Census of Marine Life. While this figure may seem astonishing, a further 5,000 individual dead creatures are in specimen (标本) jars, waiting to be described.‎ Specimens must be methodically collected, identified, and then the identity of new deepwater species must be confirmed.‎ If we call unusual deepsea animals monsters, then we may harm their conservation as people are unlikely to be connected with them or care about saving them.‎ On the other hand, their rarity clearly makes them popular on social media sites. For other species, this has already resulted in increases in illegal trading for unusual pets. Deepsea species may potentially become illegally obtained specimens of food. Humans may end up eating these animals of the deep sea to extinction before their species are even known to science.‎ Every habitat on earth is interconnected, and whatever we as humans do has an influence on marine ecosystems. In reality, about 80% of our oxygen is produced by microorganisms (微生物) in the oceans. This makes our oceans both the lungs and lifeblood of our planet and we must all try harder to save them.‎ 语篇解读：本文主要从电影《海底总动员》里对深海物种的不准确认识，谈到了保护深海物种的重要性。‎ ‎12．What can we know about the black seadevil in reality?‎ A．People benefit greatly from the oxygen produced by it.‎ B．Its body size is a big threat to fish like Dory and Nemo.‎ C．Its scary appearance will cause problems for conservation.‎ D．People didn't know much about it when filming Finding Nemo.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“the terrifying fish that scares Dory and Marlin”并结合第二段的整体内容可知，拍摄这部电影时，人们对这种物种了解很少，故选D。‎ ‎13．What does the author think of the progress of describing new species?‎ A．Acceptable. B．Surprising.‎ C．Unsatisfying. D．Hopeless.‎ 解析：选C　观点态度题。根据第四段的最后一句“While this figure may seem astonishing, a further 5,000 individual dead creatures are in specimen (标本) jars, waiting to be described.”可推知，作者认为科学家对海洋新物种的研究不能令人满意，故选C。‎ ‎14．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 7 probably refer to?‎ A．Their popularity on social media sites.‎ B．Their rarity among sea creatures.‎ C．Their conservation being harmed.‎ D．Their importance being ignored.‎ 解析：选A　代词指代题。根据倒数第二段的第一句“On the other hand, their rarity clearly makes them popular on social media sites.”可推知，此处的this指代上文稀有物种在社交媒体网站上受青睐的状况，故选A。‎ ‎15．What can we infer about those unusual sea animals?‎ A．They are the lungs and lifeblood of our planet.‎ B．Confirming their identity is very urgent for protection.‎ C．Most of them are becoming illegally obtained specimens.‎ D．Adorable ones are more likely to be posted on social media sites.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“If we call unusual deepsea animals monsters ... care about saving them”可推知，科学地认知稀有物种对于对这些物种的保护很紧迫，故选B。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Teaching the true meaning of the holidays While parents are focusing on this all year round, the holidays are a major builtin opportunity for parents to help children develop character and values.
