• 2．I frowned at myself in the dressing-room mirror.I was wearing white tights，a white leotard，and a white swim cap that hid most of my hair.I was one of 10 snowflakes in my dance school's Winter Wonderland show.
     "Grandma，I really don't feel like being in the show，" I said.Grandma Lani looked up from what she was sewing. "Why，mo'opuna？" Mo'opuna means "grandchild" in Hawaiian.Grandma Lani has always lived in Hawai'i. "You love to dance." I used to love to dance.Then Ms.Tuttle gave the part of the Snow Queen to Christine Abrams.Christine got to wear a blue leotard and a feathery skirt that drifted out like a cloud every time she twirled.And she got to do a dance onstage all by herself.The snowflakes just had to run and spin to look like a snowstorm.I sighed. "I don't like our dance.And no one would notice if I wasn't there.There are so many of us." "I would notice.So would your parents."
     As Christine walked toward us，Grandma paused and smiled at her. "What a beautiful costume!" Christine glided away，her skirt waving behind her.I hung my head.Grandma took my hand. "What's bothering my Avery？" "And you won't be able to tell me apart from the other snowflakes，" I whispered.
     Grandma was about to speak.Then something outside the window caught her eye.She grabbed my hand and my coat and pulled me out of the dressing room and through the doors to the outside.It was snowing.Grandma held her breath and I suddenly thought of something. "Grandma，have you ever seen snow before？" "No，mo'opuna.In Hawaii，it snows only on the very tops of mountains."
     I had seen snow lots of times，but now I tried to see it differently.Like it was new.I saw snowflakes twisting through the air in different directions，sparkling and shining at us.So many snowflakes coming together to create something magical. "Aloha，" Grandma whispered to the sky.Aloha can mean many things，including "love，" "hello，" and "good-bye." "I don't know when I'll see something like that again." "I do，" I said.I took Grandma Lani's hand and pulled her back inside.
     When the stage lights came up and the music started，I spun and ran with all of the other snowflakes.I didn't care if Grandma Lani could see me.I was helping her see a snowstorm.

• 3．Although the weather is very hot now，the carnival of ice and snow is getting closer.The preparation work for Beijing Winter Olympic Games，which are expected to begin on Feb 4，2022，has entered its final stage.In January，2021，the ice-making work on the "Ice Ribbon"，a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics，was completed.
     In the Winter Olympics，where races can be won or lost by a small time gap，tiny imperfections in the ice can make all the difference. "It's not just a hunk of ice like you'd normally think of，like ice cubes sitting in your freezer，" told Kenneth Golden，a US mathematician who studies the structures of ice. "It's a much more fascinating and complex substance than people would normally think."
     The first step for building any ice rink is to purify the water to remove dissolved solids like salts and minerals.Such impurities don't fit in the regular hexagonal（六邊形的）structure of ice that forms as water freezes.The more pure the water is，the more consistent the ice surface.
     In addition to the need for excellence in the raw materials of ice-making，technology is also very important.As one of the most advanced technologies for winter sports venues，a carbon dioxide（CO₂）cooling technology has been applied on a large scale for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.CO₂ is not new when it comes to ice-making.However，it has been gradually replaced by the man-made refrigerant，like Freon.
     With increasing attention toward climate change，the old refrigerant has come into use again.As an element of the atmosphere，CO₂ doesn't damage the ozone layer.Although CO₂ is a greenhouse gas，its greenhouse effect is much lower than that of other synthetic refrigerants.The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO₂ instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making，which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly.
     "We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the world in a more impressive way，" told Gao Bo from the Media Operations Department of the Organizing Committee of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
  
  （1）What is the result of impurities in water for ice-making？

  
  A．The water isn't able to freeze completely.
  B．The quality of the ice will be affected.
  C．The ice surface will be more consistent.
  D．It's likely for athletes to fall on the ice.
  （2）Why has CO₂ cooling technology been applied for the Winter Olympic Games？

  
  A．It's the most advanced technologies for ice-making.
  B．CO₂ is more efficient than other refrigerants.
  C．CO₂ is more environmentally-friendly than Freon.
  D．CO₂ has already existed in the atmosphere.
  （3）What is Gao Bo's attitude to CO₂ being applied to ice-making？

  
  A．Unclear.
  B．Opposed.
  C．Doubtful.
  D．Favourable.
  （4）Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．The Beijing Winter Olympic Games Is Coming.
  B．Beneath Olympic Ice.
  C．The Use of Refrigerants in Olympic Games.
  D．The Structure of Ice.

• 9．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
      In 1951，I was eighteen and heading to Berkeley with only fifty dollars on me.My dream of attending the university was coming true.But I had to support myself to pay for the tuition and rent - my poor parents couldn't help me.I hoped to earn a scholarship.
      I worked several part-time jobs and studied hard.I didn't want to take an easy course.I'd come to the university to learn something and I believed I could excel （擅長） academically and take tough subjects.
      I took a course "A Survey of World Literature，" taught by Professor Sears Jayne.Textbooks were too expensive for me to buy.Luckily，we could use paperbacks（平裝本）.I was fascinated with the concepts Dr.Jayne presented.To many students，it was just a degree requirement，but to me，it was a feast of exciting ideas.My classmates asked for my help and we formed a study group which I led.When I took the first exam，I was sure I'd done well.However，there in red was my grade，a 77，C-plus.I was shocked.English was my best subject.To add insult to injury，I found that my studymates that I coached had all received Bs.
      I'd never questioned a teacher about a grade before，but I was convinced that my answers deserved a higher grade.I managed to meet Professor Jayne，who listened to my passionate arguments but remained unmoved.
      I resolved to try harder.I read the paperbacks more carefully，but my efforts yielded another 77.Again，C-plus for me and Bs and As for my friends.Again，I returned to Dr.Jayne and questioned his judgment.Again，he listened patiently，discussed the material with me，but wouldn't change his mind -the C-plus stood.
      One more test before the final.The book we studied，The Wasteland was too expensive for me.I started copying all 420 pages with an old Royal manual typewriter.I doubled my efforts for this third exam.For the first time.I learned the meaning of the word "thorough".However，my efforts did absolutely no good.I got a 77，as before.
  注意：
  （1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  （2）請按照如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
      Back I marched into Dr.Jayne's office，with my dog-cared，note-blackened textbooks.______
      A week later，puzzled about the red A grade in my final exam，I hurried to Dr.Jayne's office.________
