beautifully carved sculptures of snow.Ice Lantern Festival:where large ice buildings and statues constructed with lights inside that make them glow.SiberianTigerPark:The park has several large caged areas where the tigers roam freely and live as they-would in their natural environment.We enter these caged areas in a specially designed van with large windows to get a look at these beautiful beasts.Live pheasants(雉)are let loose(if you pay)in order to show you the tigers natural hunting skills.Russian Architecture:Blessed with grace and character,the city is famous for its unique,Russian-influenced architecture.Remnants(残存)from the days when Harbin wasan important stop on the Russian Manchurian Railroad,the dome-shaped structures remind people of pre-revolutionary Russia.The strong Russian flavor continues to impact the city today due to new trade and tourism betweenHarbinandRussia.TheCentral Avenue:Passers-by only street,a perfect remaining part of the busy international business activities at the turn of the 20th century.The 1.4-km long street is a worthy museum of European architectural styles,including Baroque and Byzantine facades,Jewish

buildings.A tram track is still preserved in the centre of the road.The street is named after Nikolay(Vasilyevich)Gogol(1809-1852);great Russian novelist,dramatist,satirist,founder of the so-called critical realism in Russian literature,best-known for his novel MERTVYE DUSHI I-II(1842,Dead Souls).Saint Sophia Church(built in 1903):The Orthodox church is a wonderful example of Russian

Daddy clean it,OK?”I was more than happy to do it.At age five this mundane task brought me such joy.I would excitedly turn the tap on,then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could.Satisfied that Id done a good job,I would proudly return the comb to Dad.He would smile at me and place the comb on top of his wallet.About two years later,Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business.I started primary school.That was when things started to change.He didnt come home as much as he used to just a couple of times a week.And when he did come home,it was always late and Id already be in bed.I started to get mad.I stopped waiting for him to come home,and stopped going downstairs to check on him.Today,Im no longer a kid.Ive graduated from college and got a job.Dads business has got back on track.Things are better now.Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me persisted.Two days before my birthday last year,Dad came home early.As usual,I helped him carry his bags into his study.When I turned to leave,he said,“Hey,would you like to help me clean my comb?”I looked at him a while,then took the comb and headed to the sink.I passed the clean comb back to Dad.He looked at it and smiled.But this time,I noticed something different.My dad has aged.He has wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiles,yet his smile is still as heartwarming as before.The smile of a father who just wants a good life for his family.Dad carefully placed his comb on top of his wallet.After so many years,he still organizes his personal items in the same meticulous way.I guess some things never change.And for that,Im glad.4.What caused the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me?A.Generation gap.B.Dads failure in business.C.My ignorance of Dad.D.Dads absence from the

be bygones.C.Some things never change.D.Like father,like daughter.C Coke was introduced by the Coca Cola company in 1886,making it a rather true andtested favorite of generations of people in over 200 countries.This list should give you some ideas on how to get more from your coke than usual.Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster(除锈剂).If you have a bunch of small rusty objects,put them in coke overnight and give them a goodscrubin the morning.Coke helps to break down the rust,making cleaning much easier.Be sure to throw out the used coke when you are done with it or you might be taking a trip to the doctor.Like the previous item,the citric acid(柠檬酸)in coke makes for an excellent window cleaner.This is especially useful for car windows.Pour a can of coke over the window and rub the window,then wipe it off with a wet cloth to remove any sugary matter from the sugar in the drink.As coke is fullof sugar,you should clean the sticky matter off the window glasses,or it will be not a cleaner but a dirt.For those of you who live in areas where skunk(臭鼬)smells can be an issue from time to time,one can of coke added to water with detergent(清洁剂)really helps to break the smell down.If you have been sprayed,stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke wait for a few minutes,then wash yourself with a shower.Coke is an excellent hair treatment so you get two tips for the price of one with this item!.Pots can sometimes get black on the bottom.The black is almost impossible to remove;this is caused by over-cooking.To remove the black and renew your pot,pour in a can of coke(or as much as you need to cover the blackened area by an inch)and put it on the stove on a low heat.After an hour or so,wash the pot as normal.8.What does the underlined word“scrub”in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Start.B.Cleaning.C.Shake.D.Example.9.What is important while using coke to clean car windows?A.Use a dry cloth.B.Rub the window lightly.C.Dont pour too much coke.D.Clean

Jackson sound familiar?Well,these are just some of the names that were well-known in the music scene of the 80s and early 90s.The 80s pop musicscene was an important step to the popularity(普及)of present-day music.A new wave in the music scene was introduced,which made such music styles as punk rock,rap music and the MTV popular.Although it was an end to the old 60s and 70s styles,it was also the beginning of something big.The popularity of music videos meant that artists now replaced their guitar-based music with visual displays.A new wave of artists came on the scene and the entire industry developed quickly.The most famous 80s pop music video is Michael Jacksons Thriller.Introduced in 1982,few people can forget the video not only because of its never-be-foreseen images,but also because of the popularity it received.Think of how 80s pop music changed the lives of people who grew up in the 80s.Ask a young man today to tell you the names of the“New Kids on the Block”and he will start talking about the neighbor kids who just moved in.These are not the answers you might have heard in the 80s.Though todays young men do not recognize how cool 80s pop music was,most people will always remember it for what it was and these are happy memories they will always love.Some of the 80s pop music legends(传奇人物)include Madonna,U2,AeroSmith and of course the King of Pop Michael Jackson.Lets not forget Prince,Tina Turner,Phil Collins and Motowns Lionel Ritchie.Some of these musicians played music that has stood the test of time.Undoubtedly,the 80s pop music scene will live on for many more years to come.12.What is the text mainly about?A.The characters of 80s pop music.B.What made 80s pop music popular.C.80s pop musics steps to popularity.D.The effects of 80s pop music.13.80s pop music mainly includes the following styles EXCEPT _.A.guitar-based music B.the MTV C.rap music D.punk rock 14.Michael Jacksons Thriller impressed people so deeply mainly because _.A.it changed the lives of people B.he sang it in a special style C.it was made into a music video D.it left people with happy memories 15.The purpose of the last paragraph is to tell readers that _.A.80s pop music is and will remain popular B.80s pop music has many faults C.80s pop music is now out of date D.we shouldnt forget the great musicians of the 80s 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
