1．If you're a hard-core traveler，you're likely always looking for the next big thing.Be it the newest hotel，the most luxurious suite，or climbing the highest mountain，you're down for all.And that makes this new hotel，located in the North Pole，the perfect fit for you.
This winter，guests will have the unbelievable opportunity to stay in the northernmost hotel in the world known as the North Pole Igloo Hotel.However，it does come with two rather large catches.The first is that it will only be available for an extremely limited amount of time.The second is that it will cost ＄100，000 for a three-night trip.
But，that ＄100，000 certainly comes with few perks（額外待遇）.
"North Pole igloos hotel concept is movable，sustainable，but still a little extreme，" the hotel explains on its site. "Depending on weather conditions we move the heated glass igloos to most safe places around the arctic glacier.You can join the group of very rare people who have spent a night at the North Pole's glacier."
It further notes，the hotel is only open on request in the month of April，but guests can also stay at another location on other dates.
So，what do you get for the money？The hotel comes with a two-night stay in Svalbard before a two-hour helicopter ride to the North Pole ice camp.Guests are then transported to the glacier and to check into their igloo hotel.
"We provide all of the equipment，" Janne Honkanen，founder of Luxury Action."But you definitely need to have the spirit of an explorer or scientist."
Guests are "almost guaranteed" to get a great viewing of the Northern Lights as they are still incredibly active in the area throughout the month of April.If you've got the money to burn and the spirit to match，book it now.
（1）What is the main function of paragraph 1？
A．To explain what a hard-core traveler is.

（2）What can we know about North Pole igloos hotel concept？

2．One night in 1966，Michael Chapman rushed into a folk-music club in Cornwall，England to get out of the rain，and soon found himself onstage playing the guitar.
"They offered me a job to play for the rest of the summer.And I've been playing ever since，" Chapman says. "I've told that story so many times，but it's absolutely true.If it hadn't been raining that night，I wouldn't be talking to you."
The British guitar player has spent the 50 years since then on the road.He released some praised albums in the 1970s，but his health went downhill in the 80s and 90s.Like a lot of British artists in the 1960s，Chapman taught himself to play the guitar by listening to American jazz and blues records.
Chapman actually taught photography，but quit when he was 26 to play music full time.When he was starting out，he was often compared to other British acoustic guitar heroes of the time，like John Martyn and Bert Jansch.
"The fascinating thing about Michael Chapman is that he doesn't fit in with those guys of his generation，" says Andrew Male，a music journalist. "He's always been an outsider.He never moved to London. "
And while he never became part of the London music scene，Chapman was noticed by those musicians. "The 70s caught up with him in the 80s，" Male says. "He had a huge heart attack at the end of the 80s that nearly finished him off.When he made his way back into the world in the early 90s，people had forgotten about him." But not everyone.A younger generation of musicians in America，including Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and a younger singer and guitarist named Steve Gunn，recently rediscovered Chapman.
"We wanted to capture Michael's voice and character where he is now.You know，it's a little road-weary，but he still has it，" Gunn says. "For me，it was really important to get that right." "He's the right old musician for present times，" Male says. "I think the music he makes seems quite in tune with where we're at."
（1）Which can best describe Michael Chapman's first involvement in music？
A．Untrue.
B．Accidental.
C．Unfortunate.
D．Reasonable.
（2）What can we learn about Michael Chapman from the text？
A．He has taught photography for 26 years.
B．He taught himself to play the guitar and did far better than John Martyn.
C．To some degree，he is not accepted by other people of his generation.
D．He is one of the best guitar players in the early 90s.
（3）Why did Michael Chapman quit his music career once？
A．He lost his special voice.
B．He suffered from a severe heart attack.
C．He got tired of competing with others.
D．He was almost forgotten by everyone.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．The Rise and Fall of Guitar Music
B．The Sad Story of a Guitar Musician
C．A New Generation Helps an Old Guitar Musician
D．A Brief Introduction to a Guitar Musician組卷：8引用：1難度：0.6 -
3．No one ever said science education was easy.Certainly the concepts we teach，like conservation of momentum （動量守恒） or quantum mechanics （量子力學），can be hard to grasp.But what really makes our reaching complicated is that we're also trying to teach a deeper lesson at the same time - to help students understand the nature of science itself.
All too often，young people get the impression that science is about learning certain "laws" and then applying them to different situations.After all，that's what we make them do on tests，to show that they've been doing the work.But that's not it at all.Science is the process of building these concepts through the collection of experimental evidence.
And while I'm on it let's call these concepts what they really are - not laws，but models.Science is all about building and testing models.It's difficult to help students understand that aspect of science when we just give them the models to begin with.Sure，in physics we often include historical or mathematical evidence to support big ideas，but that often isn't enough.
Of course，we can't start from scratch.If students had to build their own models from the ground up，it would be like trying to learn programming by inventing computers.As Isaac Newton is supposed to have said， we stand on the shoulders of giants.We must take models built by others and go from there.
What I'd like to suggest is that this actually provides a great way into the adventure of science and an opportunity to meet our objectives as educators.If you can create a situation that challenges students' assumptions and produces conceptual conflict，that's a great opportunity for learning.
（1）What is the misunderstanding of teaching science？
A．It's complicated.
B．It focuses on the nature of science.
C．It's very difficult.
D．It lies in teaching and testing "laws".
（2）Which way to teach science is highly recommended by the author？
A．Encouraging students to always start from scratch.
B．Providing students with some models to follow suit.
C．Guiding students to begin with models built by others.
D．Offering students proof to support important concepts.
（3）The author cites Isaac Newton's words to.
A．justify the experiment
B．praise the statement
C．show the achievement
D．support the argument
（4）What is the best title of the passage？
A．Science teaching
B．Concept building
C．Science learning
D．Concept conflicting組卷：7引用：1難度：0.5

An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son.Suddenly a crow（烏鴉）perched（棲息）on their window.
The father asked his son， "What is this？" The son replied， "It is a crow."
After a few minutes，the father asked his son for the second time， "What is this？" The son said，"Father，I have just now told you，it's a crow!"
After a little while，the old father again asked his son for the third time， "What is this？"
At this time some expression of irritation（惱怒）was felt in the son's tone when he said to his father with a rebuff（生硬回絕）. "It's a crow，a crow." A little while later，the father again asked his son the fourth time， "What is this？"
This time，the son shouted at his father，"Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again，although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'.Are you not able to understand this？"
A little while later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered（發(fā)皺的）diary，which he had maintained since his son was born.On opening a page，he asked his son to read that page.When the son read it，the following words were written in the diary：
"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa，when a crow was sitting on the window.My son asked me 23 times what it was，and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow.I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question.I did not at all feel irritated but I rather felt affection for my innocent son."
