Welcome to the North Pole Adventure
The North Pole Adventure is a one-of-a-kind interactive Christmas attraction for the entire family. Unlike other Christmas attractions, it is open from November 25 until Christmas Eve. It is not a guided tour. While elves (小精灵)are throughout the adventure to interact with your children, your kids can spend as much time in each area as they wish. The adventure features a replica(复制品)of the North Pole including everything you imagine at Santa’s North Pole.
Santa’s House
Kids will experience what it’s like at the North Pole and see first-hand what it takes for Santa and his elves to get ready for Christmas each year. The memories your children will take away from Santa’s House will be ones they will remember for a life time.
Post Office
All kids will be assisted by Santa’s elves in writing a letter to Santa and then depositing it in Santa’s magical mailbox. A few days before Christmas, they will receive letters at their own homes from Santa.
Elf University
Elf University is the place where elves go to school. It’s also the place where kids enjoy making Christmas presents, coloring Christmas pictures, and even filling out applications to become elves one day.
Admission:
Buy your tickets online to avoid waiting in line. If the tickets sell out when you buy them online, there will still be tickets available at the ticket office.
56. The North Pole Adventure________.

The highest beef prices in almost three decades have arrived just before the start of the hot season, causing a great shock to both consumers and restaurant owners-- and relief isn't likely anytime soon. A decreasing number of cattle and growing export demand from countries such as China and Japan have caused the average price of fresh beef to climb to $5.28 a pound in February, up almost a quarter from January and the highest price since 1987.
Everything that's produced is being consumed, said Kevin Good, an analyst at CattleFax, a Colorado-based information group. Prices will likely stay high for a couple of years as cattle producers start to rebuild their cattle among big questions about whether the Southwest and parts of the Midwest will see enough rain to water the grass.
"I quit buying steaks a while ago when the price went up," said 59-year-old Len Markham, who works at Texas Tech. She says she limits red meat purchases to hamburger, choosing chicken, pork and fish instead.
Restaurant owners, too, must deal with the high prices. Mark Hutchens, owner of the 50 Yard Line Steakhouse in Lubbock, raised his menu prices for beef items by about 5 percent in November. Since then, the owner of the small eating house has tried to make cuts elsewhere to avoid passing it on to customers. "It really puts more pressure on the small guys," he said of non-chain restaurants. "I just think you have to stay competitive and keep your costs low."
“White-tablecloth restaurants have adjusted the size of their steaks, making them thinner”, says Jim Robb, director of the Colorado-based Livestock Marketing Information Center. “And fast-food restaurants are cutting costs by reducing the number of menu items and are offering other meat options, including turkey burgers, Robb said. Chain restaurants also try to buy beef as much as they can, which essentially gives them a discount”, Iowa State University assistant economics professor Lee Schulz said.
The high prices are welcome news for at least one group: ranchers(大农场经营者), especially those in Texas who for years have struggled amid drought(干旱) and high feed prices. But even as ranchers breathe a sigh of relief, some worry lasting high prices will cause consumers to permanently change their buying habits -- switching to chicken or pork. Pete Bonds, a 62-year-old Texas rancher and president of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, said that's a big concern. “But such fears may be unfounded, Robb said. “Three years ago, economists thought consumers would start finding substitutions for beef as the drought spread. We're surprised we haven't seen more of that," he said.
South Dakota rancher Chuck O'Connor thinks that consumers won’t abandon beef for good. "I'm sure some are maybe going to cut back some, but to say that people aren't going to buy it anymore, I don't think that's going to happen," he said, adding, "I hope not."
58. The price of beef has increased because______.
A. there is a growing demand of fresh beef among Americans
B. cattle producers have succeeded in raising a new type of cattle
C. there is a lack of rain and the export of beef is increasing
D. ranchers have found ways to deal with high feed prices
59. Which method is NOT used by restaurant owners to deal with the high beef prices?
A. They have made the steaks smaller than before
B. They have increased the prices of beef-related dishes
C. They have made hamburgers with many other kinds of meat
D. They have sought discount by purchasing large amounts of beef
60. Jim Robb gives an example in the sixth paragraph in order to_____.
A. tell people that it is a tough job to look for substitutions for beef
B. show his fear that chicken or pork may be an alternative to beef
C. explain that customers won’t change their buying habits completely
D. indicate that ranchers may be least affected by the high beef prices
C
Your New Year’s plan to move more is one of the toughest to stick to, and a group of scientists working with obese(过度肥胖的)mice think they’re starting to understand why
Rather than our sedentary(久坐的)lives causing weight gain, says Alexxai Kraviz, the National Institutes of Health neuroscientist who led the study, changes in brain chemistry after we start gaining weight affect our capacity to move.
“Obses mice can move just fine,” days Kravitz, who published the work with his team in Cell Metabolism “They just don’t.”
What Kravitz’s team found is that the activity of a particular dopamine(多巴胺)receptor linked to movement goes down as mice gain weight on a high-fat diet. So the nice slow down and they move less. And when the researchers restored the activity of that dopamine receptor—DR2—the mice started moving more, even though they were still obese. The team also saw that lean mice missing the DR2 receptor acted like obese mice. This is the target, says Kravitz—restoring that dopamine receptor function. “Manbe 20 or 30 years down the road, we could do that in people,” he says.
And there is one more thing: The scientists fed normal mice and the mice lacking DR2 the same high-fat diet. Both sets of mice gained weight at the same rate.
Kravitz says this is important because mice lacking DR2 move less from the get-go, whereas a normal mouse takes a little time to start seeing that dopamine receptor-related loss of exercise. The ability to exercise seems to be disconnected from weight gain, he says.
“Exercise is a healthy thing to do, but its impact on weight loss has been exaggerated,” he says. “We have to be realistic about the size of the effect of exercise on weight, as opposed to health benefits.”
Still, before you abandon your New Year’s exercise plan, keep in mind that this study was done using a high-fat diet, and not the normal calorie restriction that people maintain when they diet.
That’s a big drawback to the work, says Vicki Vieira-Potter, a University of Missouri physiologist not involved in the study
“They feed the mice with high-fat diet, it damages the receptor, and that decreases activity. Those who plan to lost weight should remember high-fat diet is a nice way to cause obesity in the lab, but it’s not the same as the normal situation of obesity,” she sys.
Sine also says that a lot of the weight gain in the mice came after they stopped moving around, which indicates that the loss of movement did impact obesity.
61. Alexxai Kravitz is likely to agree that______.
A. high-fat food leads to the lack of DR2 B. less movement results from weight gain
C. the lack of DR2 results in less movement D. weight gain leads to the inactivity of DR2.
62. What can we infer from the research mentioned in the passage?
A. High-fat diet is bound to cause obesity.
B. The research team aim to deal with human obesity
C. High-fat diet has little influence on the rate of weight gain
D. Obese mice’s ability to move is affected by the inactivity of DR2
63. The underlined word “exaggerated” in Paragraph 7 can be replaced by “______”
A. underestimated B. excluded C. overlooked D. overemphasized
. According to Vicki Vicki-Vieira-Potter, ______.
A. besides diet, other factors behind obesity shouldn’t be ignored in daily life
B. the total loss of movement can do harm to the function of DR2
C. Alexxai Kravitz’s team misread the results of the research
D. obesity is mainly caused by high-fat diet people take.

When Charles Lee handed me the small red notebook in 1974, he changed my life. “While you are traveling, you should keep notes of things you see and do,” he explained.
I was 20 years old, a junior in college, spending a term at the University of London. Charles was a retired traveling salesman. I was staying with him in his cottage in Kendal, located in the Lake District of northern England. It was a one-week homestay the university arranged for us before classes began.
I took his advice. I wrote in the notebook every day during the homestay. Back in London, I recorded weekend trips to Wales, Yorkshire, France, and Spain. I commented on my classes, professors, and classmates. I contrasted my life at a small college in the US with my wandering through the streets of London, my introduction to life in a big city, and my initial travels outside the US. I tracked ideas I had about my life and my future.
When I wrote in the notebook, I struggled with a sense of my audience and purpose. Who would read this? Were these writings just for me, or did I want others to read them? Was I recording events and ideas just as a prompt(提示)to memory, or was there some larger purpose for this daily exercise?
I knew I was recording events, thoughts, words that were important to my life. I imagined a future me sitting down to read the pages. I wondered what it would feel like to read those words later. I wondered where I would be and what my life would be like.
I filled the notebook Charles gave me. I bought a new one and filled it. Then another and another. I continued writing in notebooks for four decades. By that time, they filled two boxes in my garage.
I had reread some of the journals. Specific volumes had provided me with the background I needed for dozens of articles for magazines. But I had never read them all. Recently, I decided to bring my collection of notebooks into my office and replay my life. As I opened the first box, I suddenly became nervous would I like the former me described on those pages? There was a risk in opening that first notebook. I did it anyway.
Charles had been right. I remembered the big events and the central happenings, but on each page were many details I hadn’t retained(保留).
The pages revealed highlights from college classes and stories about roommates and friends. I read anxious comments I’d written as I’d launched my teaching career, learned to write lesson plants, assigned grades for student work, and solved discipline problems. I reflected on my coming marriage, then the wedding, and eventually the proud moments when I held each of my three girls as a father. I recounted more trips---returning to Europe, teaching in South America, going on safari(游猎)in Africa, and exploring Greenland. I relived memories of trails hit, rivers crossed, and mountains climbed.
The writings in those journals framed my life. I hadn’t written every day. I often skipped a few days or even weeks, but I always picked up the writing when it felt important. Journals wet with my when I traveled , and I often wrote in them at school when my own students were writing.
It took several long evenings to read through the notebooks, taking me on tour spanning(持续)42 years. As I read I could recall sitting on a bench in Trafalgar Square in London or in our apartment in Peru to write to the future me. It was then that I realized: I am now the person I was writing to throughout those years.
65. What can we learn about Charles Lee?
A. He was an Englishman the author came across
B. He gave the author a notebook as birthday present
C. The author gained valuable experience of life from him
D. The author once lived in his house as a college graduate
66. One reason why the author kept writing journals was that he wanted to _______.
A. let others read what he wrote in the future B. live up to Charles Lee’s expectation for him
C. know what his life would be like in the future D. leave something special to his three daughters
67. How did the author feel when he opened the first box filled with his journals?
A. Curious B. Worried C. Surprised D. Disappointed
68. By mentioning the highlights in Paragraph 10, the author intends to tell us _________.
A. the regrets he had about his life B. the benefits of keeping journals
C. the big events that happened to him D. the themes of his articles for magazines
69. We can learn from the passage that the author _________.
A. rarely wrote journals at school B. keeps a daily journal of his life
C. even wrote journals when traveling D. had kept writing journals for five decades
70. What would be the best title for the passage?

What is eco-fashion? Eco-fashion is about making clothes that take into account the environment, the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry. It is a complex phenomenon and the common use of the fashionable terms—‘ecological’ and ‘ethical’. Ecological fashion usually refers to textile (织物) and clothing production processes and the environmental issues surrounding them;ethical fashion generally relates to the working conditions involved in the producing processes.
What are the problems with fashion? A closer look at the fashion industry points out many problems that are common practices in the creation of our fashions from the field to the factory. Firstly, the production of textiles pollutes the environment heavily. Cotton-planting uses pesticides; sheep-farming and wool-cleaning contribute to global warming; synthetics-making (人造纤维生产) brings about waste which does harm to our environment. Secondly, every stage of clothing production has a significant effect on the environment. They all use a great deal of energy, and some also involve chemicals which evidently do harm to the surroundings. In addition to this, there is a lot of waste produced in the process, especially in the form of polluted water. Thirdly, growing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects. We are now buying clothes in increasing quantities without realizing the scale on which it affects natural environment, and we are also quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times.
Then, how to solve the problems? Other industries that design products are ahead of the fashion industry when it comes to choosing sustainable materials, designing for minimum waste, choosing energy efficient manufacturing and creating products for longevity. The fashion industry has been slow to adopt these changes and part of the problem is the very nature of fashion. To a large degree, it is the fashion producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future. There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce their ecological footprint, from switching to green energy and reducing energy use, through selecting sustainable materials and choosing local suppliers,to recycle and minimize waste. On the other hand, as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and reducing clothing consumption.
There is some concern that eco-friendly fashions are just a trend that we will eventually grow tired of but we can make sure that doesn't happen. Now many people are beginning to shop for organic food products because the benefits of eating food free of chemicals are straightforward and immediate. They relate directly to our personal health. In fact, choosing eco-fashion can also contribute to our personal health, though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet.

书在表达:
One possible version:
Cultural differences do exist in every corner of the world, where the same behavior often carries totally different meanings when we socialize with people. The three experiences above are typical examples.
It’s not uncommon to witness people’s living habits, values along with customs, which vary widely throughout the world, have led to cultural misunderstandings. Take greetings as a case in point, Chinese people tend to say ‘Have you eaten yet?’, while in western countries, topics are always related to occupations, families, weather and so on. What’s more, when receiving praise from others, foreigners usually show their gratitude with a smile. However, Chinese never fail to pretend to be humble, with a ‘Just so-so’ in response, which is also a convincing proof of cultural differences.
When we are caught in a dilemma to communicate with foreigners, it’s high time that we hold an open mind to embrace different cultures, where, in turn, a critical eye is also needed. We ought to select the good essence of foreign cultures rather than blindly copy them. In short, it’s everyone’ efforts towards the fusion(融合) of cultures that minimize the gap between people.
