Beyond fresh snow and convenient access to the slopes, what makes the best ski town For some, it’s having access to fantastic restaurants, bars and shops. For others, it’s about great accommodation options, a small-town vibe or a historic atmosphere. Here are some wonderful ski towns in North America you can’t miss this year.
Mammoth Lakes, California.
A long ski season makes Mammoth Lakes especially appealing to skiers of all levels. Mammoth Lakes also offers plenty of options for off-mountain entertainment, whether you’re looking to indulge in theater and the arts, shopping local or planning a spa day.
Banff, Alberta.
Walk 15 minutes in just about any direction from the town of Banff and you’ll find yourself surrounded by the majestic wilderness of Banff National Park. The resort town and gateway to the surrounding park boasts a surprising number of shops, art galleries, bars and excellent restaurants for its size.
North Conway, New Hampshire.
Located within the scenic White Mountains of New Hampshire, North Conway sits within a half-hour drive of more than a dozen ski resorts.

Stowe, Vermont.
Steepled churches and clapboard houses make Stowe a typical New England ski town, complete with excellent options for all kinds of skiers. While there are plenty of fine dining establishments and luxury resorts catering to well-heeled travelers, there’s a lively après scene as well, especially at The Matterhorn. Rest day activities can include a tasting at the famous Ben & Jerry’s ice cream factory just down the road in Waterbury.

To really know a country, you need to understand its culture and history.
That was why journalist and media expert Zhang Ciyun began his work on a six-volume(册)exploration of ancient Chinese wisdom as reflected in myths, classics works, idioms, paintings, historical figures and architecture.
The English-language edition of the book series was unveiled at last week’s Shanghai Book Fair. The series caters for an increasing number of foreign readers who are deeply interested in traditional Chinese culture.
“The idea of the book series came to me nearly three decades ago, when I discovered how little foreigners knew about Chinese culture”, Zhang said. “Oh, they knew about kung fu movies, the Great Wall and the terracotta warriors, and had vague impressions of Chinese emperors. But they wanted to know more about Chinese culture.”
Zhang, a founder and former editor-in-chief of the English-language Shanghai Daily, is fluent in English. He draws on that skill to tell the stories of ancient China in the everyday language and experiences of native English speakers.
Zhang said ancient culture has had a far-reaching impact on the behavior and thinking of contemporary Chinese, and gives foreign readers insight into modern-day China.
He recalled a Shanghai Daily survey of readers that showed foreigners had great curiosity about Chinese culture. But at that time, books that might help them explore deeper into that culture were pieces scattered(散布)over different publications. There were no books in English providing easy access to Chinese history and culture.
“As a journalist working for an English-language newspaper, I really wanted to do something to meet that need,” he said. “I decided to use my writing skills to tell ancient stories about Chinese culture, especially its traditional aspects.”
He began his project in about 1993, beginning with a series of articles explaining the stories behind Chinese idioms. His first works were compiled into one book, which received positive feedback and was later translated into German and other foreign languages.
4. What can we learn about Zhang Ciyun’s books
A They involve various Chinese culture forms.
B. They have been translated into German.
C. They were not well received at first.
D. They were accomplished in 1993.
5. Why did Zhang write the book series
A. To record ancient Chinese wisdom. B. To spread Chinese culture.
C. To pursue fame and interests. D. To promote Shanghai Daily.
6. What can be inferred about foreigners’ learning Chinese culture in the past
A. No English books about Chinese ancient culture were available.
B. Foreigners showed little interest in learning about Chinese culture.
C. It was not convenient for foreigners to learn about Chinese culture.
D. English books on Chinese culture were published in large numbers.
7. Which of the following best describes Zhang
A. Famous and humorous. B. Creative and responsible.
C. Ambitious but unlucky. D. Wise but conservative.
C
When it comes to gifts of affection, flowers are a classic choice. But of all the flowers given on Valentine’s Day in America, none are as popular as the red rose. However, before you hit the nearest flower shop for a bunch of roses, find out how the tradition of giving roses for Valentine’s Day started.
The tradition of giving roses for Valentine’s Day has several origin stories, and like the history of Valentine’s Day, it’s rooted in Greek mythology. Some stories say that the first red rose was created when Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, was scratched by a white rose’s thorn ($!]), causing that rose to turn red, while others say that the first red rose grew on the ground where Aphrodite’s lover died and the goddess’s tears fell.
But according to Sara Cleto, a famous folklorist (民俗学家) in America, an important reason why giving roses for Valentine’s Day has persisted as a tradition is that roses are beautiful, fabulous-smelling flowers that happen to travel really well. “Flowers are usually shipped over long distances, and roses are both gorgeous and hardy, so that’s a huge part of why this practice has continued” says Cleto. And as for red roses, they are the best choice for Valentine’s Day just because the color is associated with passion and romantic love.
Recently, while COVID-19—related lockdown aroused a love of houseplants in Americans across the country, plants haven’t replaced roses as Valentine’s Day gifts. “Red roses are still the most popular stem on Valentine’s Day,” says Sandra Varley, who has more than a decade of experience of selling flowers. “The younger you are, the more likely you are to buy red roses. Mixed-stem bunches in hot pinks are becoming more popular. However, nothing quite says love like a red, red rose.”
Of course, Valentine’s Day roses aren’t strictly for expressing romantic love. If you want to go with something that signifies friendship, skip the red and go straight for yellow roses.
8. What can we learn about the origin of the tradition of giving roses for Valentine’s Day
A. It is related to a travelling story. B. It was created by American people.
C It was started in honor of two lovers. D. There is no exact explanation about it.
9. Why does the practice of giving roses for Valentine’s Day last so long
A. They’re considered the most beautiful flowers in the world.
B. They’re gorgeous and able to stand long distance travel.
C. They look and smell better than any other flower.
D. They stand for passion and romantic love.
10. Why is the love of houseplants in Paragraph 4 mentioned
A. To illustrate the popularity of roses. B. To prove how deep people love plants.
C. To show the impacts of COVID-19 virus. D. To suggest replacing roses with other flowers.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. The tradition of giving roses on Valentine’s Day.
B. Popular legends about the origin of giving roses.
C. Some ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
D. Experts’ suggestions on choosing roses.
D
A routine dentist’s tool may help with more than just oral health. A new study has found that dental imaging scanners can serve as portable devices to track the growth of baby corals(珊瑚虫)—a crucial predictor of how reefs will fare(生长)during climate change.
Heat stress can kill mature coral reefs and curtail their regrowth. “Growth, reproduction and survival are the main things that we’re always looking at in terms of how healthy reefs are,” says marine biologist Kate Quigley of the Australian Institute of Marine Science. By modeling baby corals in 3-D, researchers can track how well they branch, develop complex shapes and reach reproducing size. If harsh water conditions make corals grow too slowly, a reef won’t recover.
Corals this small are difficult to model in 3-D; researchers can CT scan them, dip them in wax or laboriously put the measurements together from a commercial 3-D scanner - but these methods can be slow and provide lower-resolution views. So one day, as Quigley’s dentist used a scanning device that focused light to create a detailed 3-D tooth model, Quigley got an idea. If this device could examine the teeth in detail, she thought, it should be able to scan tiny living corals, too—both teeth and coral are calcium-based and wet.
For a study published in Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Quigley tested the scanning device and found that it offered a cheap, easy and portable way to model baby corals significantly faster and at higher resolution than currently available techniques. This tool could let scientists more easily examine how coral species endure stress.
“Baby corals are critical for reef restoration and recovery from disturbances like hurricanes and heat waves. Unfortunately, they are the stages we know least about because they are so difficult to measure accurately without great expense,” says Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology researcher Joshua Madin, who was not involved in the study. “This paper is a great example of taking a mature technology developed in another field and applying it to coral reef science.”
12. Why is it important to study the baby corals
A. It helps to reduce heat stress. B. It helps to protect the coral reefs.
C. It helps to prevent climate change. D. It helps to improve the marine environment.
13. What does the underlined word “curtail” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Guide. B. Aid. C. Limit. D. Follow.
14. What makes it possible to use dental scanning device to scan the corals
A. The low price of the scanning devices.
B. The similarity between corals and teeth.
C. The excellent skills of the dentists and scientists.
D. The assistance of other technologies such as CT scanning.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Improving Scanning Technology B. Fighting Against Climate Change
C. Saving Coral Reefs with Dental Tech D. Protecting Marine Life with Advanced Scanners

To really know a country, you need to understand its culture and history.
That was why journalist and media expert Zhang Ciyun began his work on a six-volume(册)exploration of ancient Chinese wisdom as reflected in myths, classics works, idioms, paintings, historical figures and architecture.
The English-language edition of the book series was unveiled at last week’s Shanghai Book Fair. The series caters for an increasing number of foreign readers who are deeply interested in traditional Chinese culture.
“The idea of the book series came to me nearly three decades ago, when I discovered how little foreigners knew about Chinese culture”, Zhang said. “Oh, they knew about kung fu movies, the Great Wall and the terracotta warriors, and had vague impressions of Chinese emperors. But they wanted to know more about Chinese culture.”
Zhang a founder and former editor-in-chief of the English-language Shanghai Daily, is fluent in English. He draws on that skill to tell the stories of ancient China in the everyday language and experiences of native English speakers.
Zhang said ancient culture has had a far-reaching impact on the behavior and thinking of contemporary Chinese, and gives foreign readers insight into modern-day China.
He recalled a Shanghai Daily survey of readers that showed foreigners had great curiosity about Chinese culture. But at that time, books that might help them explore deeper into that culture were pieces scattered(散布)over different publications. There were no books in English providing easy access to Chinese history and culture.
“As a journalist working for an English-language newspaper, I really wanted to do something to meet that need,” he said. “I decided to use my writing skills to tell ancient stories about Chinese culture, especially its traditional aspects.”
He began his project in about 1993, beginning with a series of articles explaining the stories behind Chinese idioms. His first works were compiled into one book, which received positive feedback and was later translated into German and other foreign languages.
4. What can we learn about Zhang Ciyun’s books
A. They involve various Chinese culture forms.
B. They have been translated into German.
C. They were not well received at first.
D. They were accomplished in 1993.
5. Why did Zhang write the book series
A. To record ancient Chinese wisdom. B. To spread Chinese culture.
C. To pursue fame and interests. D. To promote Shanghai Daily.
6. What can be inferred about foreigners’ learning Chinese culture in the past
A. No English books about Chinese ancient culture were available.
B. Foreigners showed little interest in learning about Chinese culture.
C. It was not convenient for foreigners to learn about Chinese culture.
D. English books on Chinese culture were published in large numbers.
7. Which of the following best describes Zhang
A. Famous and humorous. B. Creative and responsible.
C. Ambitious but unlucky. D. Wise but conservative.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. B

When it comes to gifts of affection, flowers are a classic choice. But of all the flowers given on Valentine’s Day in America, none are as popular as the red rose. However, before you hit the nearest flower shop for a bunch of roses, find out how the tradition of giving roses for Valentine’s Day started.
The tradition of giving roses for Valentine’s Day has several origin stories, and like the history of Valentine’s Day, it’s rooted in Greek mythology. Some stories say that the first red rose was created when Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, was scratched by a white rose’s thorn ($!]), causing that rose to turn red, while others say that the first red rose grew on the ground where Aphrodite’s lover died and the goddess’s tears fell.
But according to Sara Cleto, a famous folklorist (民俗学家) in America, an important reason why giving roses for Valentine’s Day has persisted as a tradition is that roses are beautiful, fabulous-smelling flowers that happen to travel really well. “Flowers are usually shipped over long distances, and roses are both gorgeous and hardy, so that’s a huge part of why this practice has continued” says Cleto. And as for red roses, they are the best choice for Valentine’s Day just because the color is associated with passion and romantic love.
Recently, while COVID-19—related lockdown aroused a love of houseplants in Americans across the country, plants haven’t replaced roses as Valentine’s Day gifts. “Red roses are still the most popular stem on Valentine’s Day,” says Sandra Varley, who has more than a decade of experience of selling flowers. “The younger you are, the more likely you are to buy red roses. Mixed-stem bunches in hot pinks are becoming more popular. However, nothing quite says love like a red, red rose.”
Of course, Valentine’s Day roses aren’t strictly for expressing romantic love. If you want to go with something that signifies friendship, skip the red and go straight for yellow roses.
8. What can we learn about the origin of the tradition of giving roses for Valentine’s Day
A. It is related to a travelling story. B. It was created by American people.
C. It was started in honor of two lovers. D. There is no exact explanation about it.
9. Why does the practice of giving roses for Valentine’s Day last so long
A. They’re considered the most beautiful flowers in the world.
B. They’re gorgeous and able to stand long distance travel.
C. They look and smell better than any other flower.
D. They stand for passion and romantic love.
10. Why is the love of houseplants in Paragraph 4 mentioned
A. To illustrate the popularity of roses. B. To prove how deep people love plants.
C. To show the impacts of COVID-19 virus. D. To suggest replacing roses with other flowers.
11. What is the text mainly about
A. The tradition of giving roses on Valentine’s Day.
B. Popular legends about the origin of giving roses.
C. Some ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
D. Experts’ suggestions on choosing roses.

A routine dentist’s tool may help with more than just oral health. A new study has found that dental imaging scanners can serve as portable devices to track the growth of baby corals(珊瑚虫)—a crucial predictor of how reefs will fare(生长)during climate change.
Heat stress can kill mature coral reefs and curtail their regrowth. “Growth, reproduction and survival are the main things that we’re always looking at in terms of how healthy reefs are,” says marine biologist Kate Quigley of the Australian Institute of Marine Science. By modeling baby corals in 3-D, researchers can track how well they branch, develop complex shapes and reach reproducing size. If harsh water conditions make corals grow too slowly, a reef won’t recover.
Corals this small are difficult to model in 3-D; researchers can CT scan them, dip them in wax or laboriously put the measurements together from a commercial 3-D scanner - but these methods can be slow and provide lower-resolution views. So one day, as Quigley’s dentist used a scanning device that focused light to create a detailed 3-D tooth model, Quigley got an idea. If this device could examine the teeth in detail, she thought, it should be able to scan tiny living corals, too—both teeth and coral are calcium-based and wet.
For a study published in Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Quigley tested the scanning device and found that it offered a cheap, easy and portable way to model baby corals significantly faster and at higher resolution than currently available techniques. This tool could let scientists more easily examine how coral species endure stress.
“Baby corals are critical for reef restoration and recovery from disturbances like hurricanes and heat waves. Unfortunately, they are the stages we know least about because they are so difficult to measure accurately without great expense,” says Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology researcher Joshua Madin, who was not involved in the study. “This paper is a great example of taking a mature technology developed in another field and applying it to coral reef science.”
12. Why is it important to study the baby corals
A. It helps to reduce heat stress. B. It helps to protect the coral reefs.
C. It helps to prevent climate change. D. It helps to improve the marine environment.
13. What does the underlined word “curtail” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Guide. B. Aid. C. Limit. D. Follow.
14. What makes it possible to use dental scanning device to scan the corals
A. The low price of the scanning devices.
B. The similarity between corals and teeth.
C. The excellent skills of the dentists and scientists.
D. The assistance of other technologies such as CT scanning.
15. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. Improving Scanning Technology B. Fighting Against Climate Change
C. Saving Coral Reefs with Dental Tech D. Protecting Marine Life with Advanced Scanners
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。本文介绍了将牙科检测仪器用于监测珊瑚幼虫生长情况的方法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“A new study has found that dental imaging scanners can serve as portable devices to track the growth of baby corals—a crucial predictor of how reefs will fare during climate change.(一项新的研究发现，牙科成像扫描仪可以作为跟踪小珊瑚生长的便携式设备，这是气候变化期间珊瑚礁如何发展的关键预测器)”以及最后一段中“Baby corals are critical for reef restoration and recovery from disturbances like hurricanes and heat waves.(珊瑚幼崽对于珊瑚礁的恢复和从飓风和热浪等干扰中恢复至关重要)”可知，检测珊瑚幼虫的生长情况，对于保护珊瑚礁有着重要作用。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“Heat stress can kill mature coral reefs(热应激会杀死成熟的珊瑚礁)”可知，它会杀死成熟的珊瑚虫，由此推断它对于珊瑚虫的生长也有消极的影响，所以应该和limit“限制”意思相近。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。据第三段“If this device could examine the teeth in detail, she thought, it should be able to scan tiny living corals, too—both teeth and coral are calcium-based and wet.(她认为，如果这种设备能够详细检查牙齿，那么它也应该能够扫描微小的活珊瑚——牙齿和珊瑚都是以钙为基础的，而且是湿的)”可知，之所以能用牙科检测仪器检查珊瑚虫，是因为它们有着相同的性状。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A new study has found that dental imaging scanners can serve as portable devices to track the growth of baby corals—a crucial predictor of how reefs will fare during climate change.(一项新的研究发现，牙科成像扫描仪可以作为跟踪小珊瑚生长的便携式设备，这是气候变化期间珊瑚礁如何发展的关键预测器)”以及最后一段中“Baby corals are critical for reef restoration and recovery from disturbances like hurricanes and heat waves.(珊瑚幼崽对于珊瑚礁的恢复和从飓风和热浪等干扰中恢复至关重要)”综合全文大意可知，本文主要介绍了用牙科检查仪器来监测珊瑚幼虫的生长，从而帮助保护珊瑚礁，所以C项“Saving Coral Reefs with Dental Tech(用牙科技术拯救珊瑚礁)”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文告诉大家，怎么面对日光越来越少而带来的冬季抑郁？其实方法只有一个，那就是——笑。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：如果你现在正在经历阳光不足带来的不愉快影响，那么你并不孤单。形容词unpleasant (不愉快的)作定语，修饰名词effects。符合句意。故填unpleasant。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意：即使你没有患SAD（季节性情感障碍），也被称为冬季抑郁症，你可能会感觉和几周前不同。该空引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，用关系代词which。故填which。
【43题详解】
考查语态。句意：如果是这样，我听到你的话，可以向你推荐一个可能的解决方案！结合情态动词can，主语a possible solution和谓语动词recommend是被动关系，用情态动词的被动语态（can be done）。故填be recommended。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意：作为Mirthy的笑瑜伽领袖，我坚信笑对健康有益，这确实令人印象深刻。副词strongly作状语，修饰动词短语believe in。故填strongly。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意：最明显的好处是它让人们心情愉快。用it指代前文出现过的laughter。故填it。
【46题详解】
考查动名词。句意：在评估了大笑瑜伽课前后的情绪水平后，我们发现许多参与者的情绪至少会上升两个点，这是因为没有药物或药片，只是因为“一点点”大笑。介词After后用动名词形式作宾语，主动。故填assessing。
【47题详解】
考查时态。句意：Madan Katana博士是一名医学博士，创建了笑瑜伽，他做了大量研究，发现笑是一种温和的抗抑郁药，因为它会释放内啡肽和血清素。do是主句谓语动词，又根据下文并列谓语found，可知事情已发生应该用一般过去时；也可以表示过去的动作对现在产生的影响，用现在完成时，主语Dr Madan Katana第三人称，谓语单数形式，用has done，found可以理解为has found，省了has。故填did/has done。
【48题详解】
考查冠词。句意：更重要的是，笑可以是一种天然的止痛药，而且没有副作用。泛指一种天然的止痛药，natural以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a。故填a。
【49题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：如果你记住，几乎90%的疾病都与我们体内的压力和紧张有关，那么大笑是一种简单的治疗方法，不是吗？本句“almost 90% of all illnesses are associated with stress and tension ____9____ (hold) in our body”已有谓语are associated with，因此hold要用非谓语形式，逻辑主语stress and tension与非谓语动词hold是被动关系，用过去分词held作后置定语。故填held。
【50题详解】
考查名词。句意：所以这句老话有点道理：“笑是最好的药。”there be+主语，不可数名词truth作主语。故填truth。

It was 7:15 in the morning of January 8th, 2023. I was walking along Park Road towards the east while a passer-by of average build came out of the park on the other side of the road. Just at that moment, I see a yellow car driving up the Third Street and made a right turn into Park Road.
Unlucky, the car hit the man when she was crossing the road. And he knocked down with a painful cry. However, instead of stopping, the car with the plate number AC864 drove off even fast. Seeing this, about two minute later, I stopped a passing car and who rushed the man to the nearest hospital.
【答案】1.in→on
2.while→when
3.see→saw
4.made→making
5.Unlucky→Unluckily
6.she→he
7.在knocked前加was
8.fast→faster
9.minute→minutes
10.去掉who/who→then
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。2023年1月8日早上，作者在公园散步时看到一个路人被一辆汽车撞倒，汽车肇事逃逸，作者拦下了一辆路过的汽车把伤者送到了医院。
【详解】1.考查介词。句意：那是2023年1月8日早上7点15分。表示具体某一天时，在morning前介词应用on。故将in改为on。
2.考查连词。句意：我正沿着公园路向东走，一个中等身材的路人从路的另一边走出公园。本句为be doing sth when......“正在做某事，正在那时......”。故将while改为when。
3.考查一般过去时。句意：就在那时，我看到一辆黄色的汽车开上了第三街，然后右转进入公园路。根据“I was walking along Park Road towards the east”可知，此处描述过去发生的事情，所以应用一般过去时。故将see改为saw。
4.考查现在分词。句意：就在那时，我看到一辆黄色的汽车开上了第三街，然后右转进入公园路。see sb doing意为“看到某人正在做某事”，此处用现在分词作宾语补足语。句子中用and连接两个并列的宾语补足语。故将made改为making。
5.考查副词。句意：不幸的是，当那个人过马路时，汽车撞了他。修饰句子应用副词unluckily表示“不幸的是”作状语。句首首字母应大写。故将Unlucky改为Unluckily。
6.考查代词。句意：不幸的是，当那个人过马路时，汽车撞了他。根据“the car hit the man”可知，此处应用人称代词he表示“他”作主语代指the man。故将she改为he。
7.考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意：他痛苦地叫了一声，被撞倒在地。根据“the car hit the man”可知，此处是指男人被撞倒了，应用被动语态。且此处描述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。主语he为第三人称单数。故在knocked前加was。
8.考查副词比较级。句意：然而，车牌号码为AC864的汽车并没有停下来，而是以更快的速度开走了。根据句意以及even可知，even后副词应用比较级形式。故将fast改为faster。
9.考查可数名词的单复数。句意：看到这，大约两分钟后，我拦下了一辆路过的汽车，然后把那个人送到了最近的医院。minute意为“分钟”，为可数名词，在two后应用复数形式。故将minute改为minutes。
10.考查连词或者副词。句意：看到这，大约两分钟后，我拦下了一辆路过的汽车，然后把那个人送到了最近的医院。此处已有并列连词and连接两个谓语stopped和rushed，所以不需要再用连词who。stopped和rushed两个动作为先后关系，所以也可用副词then表示“然后”。故去掉who或将who改为then。

【答案】Dear Tom,
Since you are interested in my ideal major, I seriously took some time to think about it and I believe now I have made up my mind.
Actually, I want to apply for medical major and be a doctor in the future. As we all know, doctors are in short supply under the current pandemic situation. On the one hand, I can make more contributions to society and help others; on the other hand, it’s easier for me to land a job after graduation. To tell you the truth, I am beginning to prepare for it. For instance, I am trying to find out which universities have good medical majors and I am also working even harder to learn English, which is vital in medicine.
Let’s fight together for our ideals!
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
