第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

A

It is winter in many parts of the world. For some areas, that means snow. Maybe

even lots of snow. If you don’t have to drive in it or remove it, snow can be very

beautiful. When snow covers everything around you, the world looks like a “winter

wonderland”. That is the name of a very popular song about winter. Richard Smith

and Felix Bernard wrote the song back in 1934. There are hundreds of recordings of

this happy song.

But winter is not always such a beautiful and happy time. It’s cold outside.

You try hard to keep warm. The days are darker and shorter. The sun rarely shines.

The leaves on the trees are brown. It isn’t surprising that some people are sad

in winter. And some people dream about being somewhere else where it’s warm and

pretty—like the State of California. The Mamas and the Papas recorded this famous

song California Dreaming.

During the 1960s, many other famous rock groups released songs about winter.

Here is a poetic song by Simon and Garfunkel called A Hazy Shade of Winter. They

sing about life and hope and possibilities.

In 1968, the group Blood, Sweat and Tears recorded this gentle, sad song about

winter. They sing about a lost love and forgotten memories in Sometimes in Winter.

In the early 1990s, Tori Amos wrote and recorded the beautiful song called Winter.

She enjoyed singing about winter when she was a child.

Finally, on a happier note comes this song written and recorded by Fountains of Wayne in 2003. They sing about a snowstorm in a New England town. Nothing unusual

there. But instead of being sad or tense about the snow, they write a song about

it.

21. When is snow beautiful?

A. When people drive in it.

B. When people don’t have to take it away.

C. When it has snowed heavily.
