It’s all up to you: either plan your travel dates around them, or arrive early enough to jump into the festive atmosphere!Lighting FestivalA day-trip away from South Korea’s capital Seoul, the Garden of Morning Calm is a must-see during the Festival. The lights there cover an area of some 330,000 square meters, using 30,000 colorful LED lights hanging from the trees. Wander around the fairy-like wonderland created by the lights-through such fields like Bonsai Garden, Moonlight Garden, and the Garden of Eden.·Where: Gapyeong County, South Korea·When: December-Mid-MarchHarbin Ice FestivalMillions of tourists visit this icy festival every year, drawn by the massive ice sculptures that decorate the fairgrounds next to Songhua River.

He then reached out to Carolyn Zelicof, Andrew Nyaisonga and Sandesh Paudel.“I got a text from Sharfuz saying he was looking for a user experience designer, and I thought this project was really exciting,” Zelicof said.With their team assembled, the four co-founders were now ready to materialize their vision. CrossRoads Create currently has a landing page where you can sign up to become a user and provide feedback on the product. Site visitors are met with the logo and the motto: “Where ideas meet execution.”Minimizing cost was one of the main challenges of the development process. The two engineers, Nyaisonga and Paudel, were able to develop the platform without indirect costs while keeping the ability of a business or system to grow larger in mind. Nyaisonga explained: “There is an easier way to do something, but it might not be cheap. So, we had to choose the harder way for some things.” On the design side, Zelicof, the lead user interface and user experience designer, spoke of the challenge of building a good user experience from an idea, as well as satisfying her team’s expectations. Juggling schoolwork, job applications, and the app development was another curveball thrown their way. “But when you’re really passionate about it, you can do it. Not everyone has to drop out of college to build a startup.” Shifat said.CrossRoads Create will be launched this week, and the founders have been busy preparing their launch strategy, promoting their product through extensive use of social media marketing campaigns, maintaining their landing page,and interacting with the Center for Startups.4. What do we know about Sharfuz Shifat?A. He founded Meliora LaunchPad after his graduation from university.B. He is responsible for improving the experience of the app users.C. He thinks it more important to start a business than pursue a degree.D. He is involved in promoting their app through social media.5. Why did Nyaisonga prefer the hard way of developing the platform?A. Because it is money-saving.B. Because it allows the app to grow.C. Because it quickens development process.D. Because it takes time to get feedback from users.6. What does “curveball” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. Interest.B. Ambition.C. Difficulty.D. Confusion.7. Which of the following was NOT one of the challenges they faced?A. Meeting the expectations of their teammates.B. Striking a balance between schoolwork and app development.C. Having access to the resources provided by the Center for Startups.D. Turning their thoughts about improving user experience into a reality.CNEW DELHI-Acupuncture has become a bridge of friendship between India and China, with more Indians accepting the form of traditional Chinese medicine over the past few decades, experts say.Acupuncture, a technique to cure various illnesses, was introduced in India in 1959 by B.K. Basu in the eastern city of Kolkata, capital of West Bengal state, according to Mrigendranath Gantait, president of the Acupuncture Association of India. Over the past six decades, it has spread to rural, semi-urban and urban areas in India, particularly in the states of West Bengal, Maharashtra and Punjab.Acupuncture therapy in India is related to the story of the Indian medical mission that was sent to China to provide medical assistance during the Chinese people’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-1945). Basu, as a colleague of Dwarkanath Kotnis (widely known as Ke Dihua in China) and a torchbearer of the Indian medical mission, stayed in China from 1938 to 1943,and later worked for 43 years in India until his death in 1986. From 1958 to 1959, Basu stayed in China to learn acupuncture before introducing the needle techniques in India. In 1973, Basu was invited to China to learn newly developed acupuncture anesthesia（麻醉）.From the very beginning, Basu tried to spread acupuncture to doctors by free teaching to broad masses of people. Basu, who established the Dr. Dwarkanath Kotnis Memorial Committee and the Acupuncture Association of India, donated his house and savings to the government of West Bengal state for the purpose of acupuncture development.Under the leadership of the committee, free health service clinics have been set up where acupuncture is taken as the main treatment modality（模式）, because the cost of acupuncture treatment is low, and acupuncture is effective for many ailments. The committee has also produced many acupuncturists who run these clinics without taking any remuneration（报酬）, according to Gantait.“Acupuncture has played a unique role to promote people’s friendship between India and China,” he says. “When Basu returned to India after learning acupuncture anesthesia, the Indian media described it as acupuncture diplomacy, and it was highly praised in the country.”8. According to the passage, which of the following is true about acupuncture therapy in India?A. It was developed byB.K. Basu, a great doctor.B. It is more popular in the capital than in the countryside.C. It has played a unique role in producing acupuncturists.D. It is effective for many diseases and it is free of charge.9. The purpose of Paragraph 3 is to ______.A. introduce Dr. Basu’s experience in ChinaB. explain how Dr. Basu learned acupuncture in ChinaC. give some background information about acupuncture therapy in IndiaD. show how India and China benefited each other in acupuncture therapy10. The passage is most probably taken from ______.A. a history textbookB. a news websiteC. a medical reportD. a travelling brochure11. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. Basu-An Acupuncture ExpertB. Indian Acupuncture Working WellC. Acupuncture Diplomacy in IndiaD. Acupuncture-A Point of FriendshipDEngaging in just one hour of leisure-time physical activity per week can reduce your risk of future depression, according to a new study-which is the largest and most extensive of its kind to date.The findings of this study suggest that surprisingly small amounts of low-intensity physical activity (60 minutes of exercise per week, without becoming breathless or sweating) can protect against future depression, regardless of age or gender. This adds to a growing body of evidence that small doses of physical activity can contribute to huge psychological and physical health benefits.This international research team was led by the Black Dog Institute in Australia who conducted an in-depth analysis of the Health Study of Nord-Trondelag County (HUNT study). HUNT involved 33,908 male and female Norwegian adults who had their levels of exercise and symptoms of depression and anxiety monitored over an 11-year period.At the beginning of the HUNT study, all participants were asked to report their frequency of weekly exercise and their degree of aerobic intensity: (1) without becoming breathless or sweating, (2) becoming breathless and sweating, or (3) exhausting themselves.During the follow-up stage of the study, participants completed a self-report questionnaire (the Hospital Anxietyand Depression Scale) to indicate any emerging anxiety or depression over the years. Notably, the researchers found that people did not have to become breathless, sweaty, or exhaust themselves to reap psychological benefits from exercise. In fact, the authors observed that low levels of aerobic intensity were just as effective as moderate-to- vigorous physical activity (MVPA)in terms of protecting against future depression.In a statement, lead author, Samuel Harvey, added: “We’ve known for some time that exercise has a role to play in treating symptoms of depression, but this is the first time we have been able to quantify the preventative potential of physical activity in terms of reducing future levels of depression. These findings are exciting because they show that even relatively small amounts of exercise-from one hour per week-can deliver significant protection against depression.”The authors conclude: “Given that the intensity of exercise does not appear to be important, it may be that the most effective public health measures are those that encourage and facilitate increased levels of everyday activities, such as walking or cycling. The results presented in this study provide a strong argument in favor of further exploration of exercise as a strategy for the preve ntion of depression.”12. What’s new in the findings of the IIT study?A. It involved the most participants in one research of its kind.B. Exercise plays a positive role in treating symptoms of depression.C. Those who enjoy exercising every week are less likely to suffer depression.D. Exercise is described specifically in frequency and intensity to prevent depression.13. We can learn from Paragraph 5 that in the following part of the study.A. researchers asked participants about their mental healthB. participants answered questions related to physical exercisesC. participants answered questions related to their mental healthD. researchers found that MVPA can help prevent future depression14. How was the HUNT study carried out?A. By carrying out interviews.B. By conducting surveys.C. By engaging in physical activities.D. By studying Norwegians health state.15. Which of the following statements would the researchers most probably agree with?A. To avoid depression, one should perform everyday activities.B. logging until one sweats is better than walking or cycling every day.C. Depression victims should be encouraged to perform less intense sports.D. Exercise as a possible means of depression prevention deserves further study.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）Whether you’re an introvert or extrovert, quiet or loud.one of the keys to success in every area of your life is learning how to be more confident. Here are some things that can help you become more self-confident!Train your brain.16 Instead of immediately assuming you can’t accomplish something, believe you have what it takes to figure it out. Like Marie Forleo always says, “Everything is figure outable.”Watch your words. Whether you realize it or not, the words you speak shape your beliefs about yourself and what others believe about you. 17 The act of gossiping and putting others down always comes from a place ofinsecurity, so if you catch yourself wanting to say something sarcastic, redirect those thoughts to something better.18 In her research, social psychologist Amy Cuddy found that confident people have higher levels of testosterone （氯睾酮）and that people’s levels of testosterone can rise simply by exhibiting a “high power pose.” we’ve all heard the phrase “Fake it till you make it,” but Amy took this a step further and said, “F ake it till you become it.”Be secure. Being secure in who you are means that, although you might make a mistake or fail, you know you’re not a failure. 19Get experience. Nothing builds self-confidence like experience. After you’ve done: the thing once you’ve led the company meeting, published your first blog, or coached your first client-your confidence in your ability to do it again will soar. 20A. Stay positive.B. Change your body language.C. That also goes for what we speak about others.D. Just do it, and watch your confidence Lake off.E. You have the power to be more confident within yourself.F. You can learn how to be more confident in your mind.G. It means someone might disagree with you, but it doesn’t shake you up.第二部分语言运用（共两节；满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）Brian was in hospital for terminal brain cancer.

Advances in AI have been so rapid that machines will eventually be better than people at most activities. A few 40 (high) paid humans will still be employed, but the rest will struggle to find work.This 41 (depress) view of the impact of technology is possibly true. But so is a more optimistic outlook, as the economist Roger Bootle showed in “The Al Economy: Work, Wealth and Welfare in the Robot Age”, 42 (publish) last year. Mr. Bootle argued that AI and robotics would improve productivity and economic 43 (grow). As for employment, there will always be demand for services with the human touch, just as there is an appetite for homemade 44 (loaf) as well as sliced white bread.Recently, employment has surged in both America and Britain, suggesting 45 technology has not led to widespread labour replacement.第三部分写作（共两节；满分40分）第一节（满分15分）假设你是中学生李华，在英国学习，担任学校中国语言与文化社社长。
