17．At least once each winter I manage to get a good flight in the middle of a snowstorm．Last Sunday was that flight．My gliding（滑翔的）partners had looked at the weather reports of showers and decided to stay at home．People say that you shouldn't fly by yourself，but on that day I felt the urge to go flying and so headed for my favorite gliding site．
I had the mountain ridge to myself．After a smooth lift-off，I floated stably in the breeze，feeling at peace with myself and the world．I looked across the valley to Bedford and a moment later saw the town disappear in a band of snow that was moving towards me．
The breeze remained strong enough for flying and I knew that as long as the visibility was good，it was OK for me to stay in the air．The snow moved in and swirled around me．It was a light dry snow．The day was already very quiet but，somehow，the light snow made it even more silent．I felt like a snowflake．
Two bald eagles joined me．They didn't pay me any attention and spent a few minutes flying around the ridge before disappearing．I flew through another band of snow．I had been flying for about 45 minutes when I next looked across the valley．I could see there were more bands of snow to come and the breeze was dying too．
It was time to go home，get in a hot bath and warm up．I couldn't wait to tell my gliding partners that they had missed out on a perfect flight．

28．Why did the author's gliding partners refuse to fly on that day？B
A．They preferred to fly alone                        
B．The weather did not permit
C．They did not like winter flights            
D．The equipment was not adequate
29．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word"visibility"in Paragraph 3？D
A．Weather               
B．Skill              
C．Possibility             
D．View
30．What can be inferred from the passage？C
A．The bald eagle can cause damage to the author's flight．
B．The author will land and go home after the snow stops．
C．Brand of snow will be a great threat to the author's flight．
D．The author will hesitate to share his experience with his partners．
31．What could be the best title for the article？D
A．The First Flight Alone                               
B．A Narrow-Escape Flight
C．One Never-Again Flight                    
D．An Impressive Winter Flight．

分析 本文为记叙文，讲述了作为滑翔爱好者的作者独自经历的一次难忘的滑翔．

解答 28．B细节判断题．根据第一段第三句"My gliding（滑翔的）partners had looked at the weather reports of snow showers and decided to stay at home．"可知作者的同伴因当天有"snow shower"而不愿去滑翔飞行，故选B．
29．D词义辨析题．根据第三段中"The breeze remained strong enough for flying"提到天气因素，故排除A；而通过整体句意可排除"技术"和"可能性"两个选项，故选D．
30．C 细节推判题．根据第四段最后一句中"I could see there were more bands of snow to come and the breeze were dying too．"和最后一段的"It was time to go home"可知雪带对于飞行是威胁，故选C．
31．D主旨大意题．通读文章可知这并非作者第一次飞行；也不是他死里逃生的一次飞行；亦非作者的最后一次飞行，故选D．

点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力．做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择．在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

There are four seasons in a year and each is unique．However，autumn is the one I like best．Below are the reason why I have a preference for them
It seems to me what autumn is the most grand and impressive season in a year．First of all，neither can I suffer summer's heat，or can I go through winter's coldness at this time．In addition，it is general acknowledged that autumn is symbol of harvest．The smile from farmers，who are getting a good harvest，always making me happy．What is the most important is that autumn also see leaves of bushes and trees to turn red，gold or orange．What a colorful world it is!
That's why I like autumn better．
5．Amsterdam is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world，famous for its beautiful canals，top art museum，cycling culture，and Red Light District．It is the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands and often referred to as the"Venice of the North"because of its expansive system of bridges and canals．Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam．
Peak SeasonPopulationLanguage（s）CurrencyJanuary ClimateJuly Climate
May to October813，562DutchEuroAverage high：5.8°CAverage high：22.0°C
Must-See Attractions
Most visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre，which is full of traditional architecture，shopping centers，and coffee shops．Don't miss the Dam Square and the areas around Spui and Nieuwmarkt．The infamous Red Light District is also in this area，and definitely worth a visit to see what the hype （炒作） is about．You'll also want to check out Amsterdam's Museum Quarter in the South District，which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark．The top museums to visit are the Rijksmusuem，the Ann Frank House，and the Van Gogh Museum．
If You Have Time
There are several other unique districts in Amsterdam，and you should try to explore as many of them as time allows．The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a hub for celebrity spotting and nightlife today．The Plantage area has most of the city's museums，including the Jewish Historical Museum，the Scheepvaart Museum，and the botanical gardens．
Free Things to Do
•Have a picnic and bring a bottle of wine to relax and people-watch in Vondelpark
•Soak up some sun at one of the city's beaches
•Take a stroll along the canals，smell the flowers，and browse markets along the way
•Hop on one of several free ferry services across the IJ River for lovely city views
Transportation 
Travelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world．This airport is located about 15kilometers southwest of city center．You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station，which has many connecting routes．It's typically not a good idea to drive a car to the city center because traffic is congested and parking is difficult to find．Cycling is incredibly popular here，and it's easy to find cheap bike rentals around town．Amsterdam has a flat terrain and is a great city to explore on foot．
Money Saving Tips
•Unless you really want to see the tulips blooming，avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May．This is when hotel and flight prices surge．
•Look for accommodations in Amsterdam's South District，where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center．
•Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money
•Instead of hiring a tour guide，hop on a canal boat．They're inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city．
•Check out our homepage to view price comparisons for flights，hotels，and rental cars before you book．

There's traditional music and dancing．Sometimes there are Morris dancers who paint their faces black and wear colourful ribbons to disguise themselves．Many of the children are dressed in national dress．It really brings everyone together and you feel such a great sense of community!Although one of the oldest traditions in Wales，it nearly died out!Luckily today，there has been a rise in popularity with many Welsh towns breathing life again to these old-age customs．It's believed that it will be a hit again．

Dear Shirley，
I've learned you want to know about my family and your bedroom in your last letter．My parents had been waiting for the moment for such a long time．They have prepared for everything you may need during your stay in China．My elder brother Li Hua is a freshman who study in Hebei Univeristy．He really wants to be your guide，take you to some pubs to listen to music or watch football match．My grandfather is very kind that he's willing to tell you much about Chinese culture and history．The bedroom you will live in is just opposite to me，and there are a portable computer and a TV set．The double bed may make you feel more comfortably to sleep on．Necessities of life are available．I believe in my family，you can not only have enjoyable and unforgettable experience，but learn a lot about China，that can greatly enrich your life．
6．A study finds that youngsters who have a sister are happier．
Why？The usual answer-that girls and women are more likely than boys and men to talk about emotions-is somehow unsatisfying，especially to a researcher like me．Much of my work over the years has developed the assumption that women's styles of friendship and conversation aren't letter than men's．
A man once told me that he had spent a day with a friend who was newly divorced．When he returned home，his wife asked how his friend was going．He replied，"I don't know．We didn't talk about it．"His wife blamed him．
This made the man feel bad．So he was relieved to read in my hook that doing things together can be a comfort in itself，another way to show caring．
But if talking about problems isn't necessary for comfort，then having sisters shouldn't make men happier than having brothers．Yet the recent study is supported by others．
Scientists Liz Wright and Tony Cassidy found that young people who had grown up with at least one sister tended to be happier and more optimistic，especially if their parents had divorced．Researcher Judy Dunn，found a similar pattern among older adults．
I interviewed about 100 women about their sisters，but if they also had brothers，I asked them to compare．Most said they talked to their sisters more often，at greater length and about more personal topics．This often meant that they felt closer to their sisters．
It's true that having a sister makes one happier，but it needn't be talks about emotions．When women told me they talk to their sisters more often，at greater length and about more personal topics，I believe it's the first element that is the most important rather than the rest．

25．Why did the wife blame her husband in Paragraph 3？C
A．Because he laughed at his divorced friend．
B．Because he stayed with his friend for too long．
C．Because she didn't think he had shown care to his friend．
D．Because she didn't like her husband's contact with his friend．
26．What can we learn from the sixth paragraph？
A．Even an older adult can be happier if he has a sister．A
B．Women's styles of conversation are better than men's．
C．Talking isn't the only factor that makes people happier．
D．Talking about problems is the best way to show care for others．
27．As for talks between sisters．what is the most important in the writer's opinion？B
A．The content．
B．The frequency．
C．The topic．
D．The length．
28．What would be the best title for the passage？A
A．Why Sisterly Chats Make People Happier
B．Sisters'Natural Tendency in Emotional Talking
C．Talking Is the Best Way to Make People Happy
D．Women Enjoy Different Styles of Communication．
