3、he story of children Kai and Gerda, who must face the goddess-like woman who controls all snowflakes after Kai is kidnapped.

8、 D. Dillards parents.BThe summer of 2001 saw Australians win the Cycling Tour de France, beat the world at cricket and rugby, and have a player in the final of the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament for the eighteenth time.Many countries would be amazed at that kind of success. For Australia, it was just a
9、 typical sporting summer. At the 2000 Olympics, Australia came fourth in the medals table. That does not sound so great, yet Australia has a population of only 19 million. There are more Olympic medal winners per head of population in Australia than in any other country.What is it that makes Austral
10、ians a sporting people? This is a question that many people participating in sports have asked themselves over the years.Some of the answers are simple. Sport needs space. Australians have 7.4 million square kilometers of space to play sports in. Many other countries are either too crowded or too sm
11、all to encourage everybody to take part. Besides that, Australia is a warm, dry country. This encourages people to go outdoors to enjoy themselves. Furthermore, since 85 per cent of Australians live near the sea, they learn water sports early; and since sharks swim off the coasts of Australia, they
12、also learn to swim very fast.Other reasons go deep into the history, culture and economy of the country. When the British first found Australia they decided that it would be a great place to send criminals to. Life for the first Australians was very tough, so they had to be independent and develop a
13、 will to win just to survive. Yet they also had to be able to trust each other and be willing to help each other out. In other countries, coaches train people in mental toughness and team building. In Australia, these qualities are part of the general social environment.From the cultural perspective
14、, being far away from Europe also meant that Australians were far away from the centres of Western arts and cultures. As a result, sport itself has become a way of cultural expression and part of the Australian nationality. An English football fan wants to see the national team do well, but really c

19、g, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted” was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One stud
20、y found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully create
21、d a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.I see people trapped in a pathological (病态的) relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than techn
22、ology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge
23、of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology.

29、han 10 years, a team of Russian scientists have finally been able to drill through the ice into Vostoks ancient waters. Vostok lies below one of the coldest zones on Earth, and the ice here is denser than ice elsewhere on the planet. Drilling can take place each year only during Antarcticas warmest
30、weather. This is when the ice is easier to drill, and the temperatures are not as severe for scientists living in the Vostok Research Station, which is above the lake. Numerous past attempts to reach the lake, including one last year, failed because the scientists did not finish drilling before the
31、weather became too cold.Scientists estimate that Vostok has been closed off from the outside world for approximately 30 million years.

If so, then you are a third-culture kid! The term “third-culture kid” (
39、or TCK) was coined in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. 16 About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or docto
40、r degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals. 17 In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected
41、. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. 18 While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-
42、culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.For a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country. After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she
43、felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. 19 She did not share the same values as her friends even years after going back home. While a third-culture kid must let go of their identity as foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than an
44、ything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”. 20 As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places. A. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy.B. In general,
45、 they often reach excellent academic results.C. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.D. However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.E. Their experience abroad helps them to gain a better understanding of cultural differences.F. Unlike othe
46、r teens of her age, she didnt know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends.G. Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid.第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节, 满分45分)第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21-40各题所给的A、B、C和D中，选出
