Applicants here have waited as long as 60 days to secure an appointment at one of five U.S. consular locations（领事馆）in China that process visas. There, theyre often greeted by long lines, followed by a face-to-face interview that can end badly in a matter of seconds.Now there are only about 100 U.S. visa officers in China, facing considerable challenges during the summer when tourists and students travel the most. “Its not easy work,” Charles Bennett, minister-counselor for Consular Affairs at the U.S. Embassy in Beijing, said to his staff. “Youre making, in some cases, life-changing decisions many times a day, and that can cause great tiredness.”To adapt, US consular services expanded their hours, took on about a dozen additional staff and hope to have another 20 officers by spring. More facilities are also being expanded.Despite the shocking numbers, the embassy remains troubled by charges that it rejects applicants unreasonably and that the process is unfairly burdensome. “Im fed up,” said Wendy Liu, 24. The single woman from Beijing said she was recently refused a visa and told to re-apply when her personal life and finances were more stable. “Ill go anywhere but the U.S. now,” she said. “I thought America was supposed to be a country of freedom.”To visit the US, Chinese nationals must prove that they have enough money and family or business ties that make it likely theyll return to China. The Department of Homeland Security said it did not keep records on how many Chinese overstay their visas.Student visas can be refused on grounds of national security. Beijing native Tan Ge, 25, believes he was not accepted after he stated his interests in infrared（红外线的）technology and nanoelectronics（纳米电子学）on his application. He now studies in Canada after being forced to abandon a full scholarship to Arizona State University.By its very nature, the on-the-spot process at the U.S. Embassy can feel unbearable to Chinese applicants, who are asked to take their bank statements, property deeds（房产证）, marriage licenses and HUKOU, a Chinese household ID.“It made me feel very uncomfortable,” said Xu Yong, 28, a journalist who needed a business visa last month to cover a conference in New York. “They made me feel like someone from a Third World country up to no good.”After giving his fingerprints, Xu waited to be called for his interview, sitting in an area that was as quiet as a library. Each passing minute seemed to be as long as a century.After an hour, Xu was called with three other people to a window for their interview. Two were rejected before his turn. Then the American officer, speaking fluent Chinese, reached for Xus paperwork, asked some simple questions and said, “Congratulations.”“I was so nervous. The first thing I did when I got out was to call my mom and tell her I passed,” Xu said. “She was the one who warned me it wasnt going to be easy.”21. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that in China _.A. you may quickly be rejected for a U.S. visa after a long waitB. getting a U.S. visa is not as hard as getting a drivers licenseC. an applicant has to wait two months to get a visa for the U.S.D. there are more than five US consular locations stamping visas22. Beijing native Tan Ge was refused a U.S. visa probably because he _.A. had no stable income B. was supposed to be unsafe for the U.S.C. had too wide interests D. had got a full scholarship in the U.S.23. Why does the author give a detailed description of Xu Yongs experience?A. To show how lucky Xu is to make it to New York.B. To reflect the problems in processing a U.S. entry visa.C. To stress what a hard-won success it is to get a U.S. visa.D. To persuade readers out of working or studying abroad.BAll hotels redecorate regularlyHowever，very few do it as frequently as Swedens Ice hotel. As the name indicates，the hotel that is located in the remote village of Jukkasjarvi，is built entirely from ice and，therefore，has to be rebuilt annually! The 26th version of Ice hotel，which welcomed its first visitors on December 11th，features 69 roomsTo make them affordable for everyone，they range from expensive luxury suites to basic accommodationsAmong this years unique suite offerings is the “Elephant in the Room”，which features a massive 3-m tall sculpted African elephant overlooking an iceframed bedThe “Counting Sheep” suite features frozen sheep that may help those who dont sleep well get a good nights rest. Though the atmosphere between the luxury suites and the budget rooms may differ，they are all subject to the bone-chilling-5 temperaturesTo get a good nights rest guests have to lie inside sleeping bags and keep their gloves and hats onThough that seems a little uncomfortable，visitors say it is an experience like none otherThe hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100 couples will get married this year and an Ice Bar that will serve drinks in ice glassesThough dining options are limited to the hotels only restaurant，guests will have little to complain about with Michelintrained chef Alexander MeierTo keep customers entertained，the hotel offers a variety of fun activities like snowshoeing，moose or snowmobile safaris，dog sledding，and even overnight wilderness campingThe 26-year-old tradition began accidentally in 1989 when locals organized an art exhibition to draw winter visitors to the remote village that lies 200 km north of the Arctic CircleAmong the many tourists was an adventurous group and they announced their intention of spending the night in the place where the exhibition was being heldThats when the idea of building the icy accommodations dawned on the locals24Why is Swedens Ice hotel rebuilt every year?AIt needs more rooms BIt is entirely built from iceCIt follows old traditions DIt can be easily decorated25What is unique about the hotel this year?AIt opens earlier than ever before BMore expensive rooms are availableCRoom prices are more affordable DSome rooms have theme sculptures26What can be inferred about the hotel in Paragraph 3?AIts service needs improving BIts activities may be boringCIt tries to appeal to customers DIts food is not delicious at allCUniversity the best days of my life! I made lots of friends in my student dorm, went to great parties, joined the debating societyand, well, I did some work too but I must admit my lecturers were very patient with my tardiness（拖拉）.Its easy to look back at our university days through rose-tinted spectacles but the truth is that when we first arrived on campus, most of us were out of our comfort zone.In fact, a survey of students at Imperial College London has revealed that 3 out of 4 students experience high levels of stress, or a mental health condition, during their time at college. The survey, completed by over a thousand students, also found that 70% of those that experience stress do so at least once a week, and 9% of students feel stressed constantly.Kirsty, a student at Exeter University, didnt enjoy her first days in college. She says: “When I first got to university I dont think Id realized that Id forgotten how to make friends. Id been with the same school friends for seven years, and so I was trying to balance social success with academic success while learning how to look after myself at quite a young age.”Dr Ruth Caleb of the counseling service at Brunel University in London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university. She says: “Certain things that I think it would be very helpful for students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life to do the washing, to do the cleaning and so on being able to cook. Budgeting is extremely important in university life.” And Caleb adds: “You should learn how to spend time on your own comfortably.”I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way. I hope that new students these days remember to acquire some life skills before they make the big jump.27. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part in Paragraph 2?A. rose-shaped glasses B. positive perspectivesC. negative sides D. flower-like tools28. What did Kirsty find most difficult to do during her first days in college?A. Not knowing how to make new friends.B. Not realizing the importance of making friends.C. Looking after herself at quite an early age.D. Trying to achieve academic success.29. Which of the following tips are helpful or important EXCEPT _ according to Dr. Ruth Caleb?A. having the ability to cook B. being able to do the cleaningC. learning how to spend money on ones ownD. balancing social success and academic successD. Acquiring some life skills isnt that important to new students.30. What does the author probably mean by saying “I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way”?A. He quickly adapted to the new environment when he first arrived on campus.B. He graduated from college with many achievements.C. It might have taken him some time to get used to college life.D. It might have made him proud by leading an independent life at college.第二节：六选五（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）下面文章中有 5 个段落需要添加首句(第 31-35 题)。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E 和 F)中选出适合各段落的首句。选项中有一项是多余选项。AGet to know yourself.BTake care of your body.CPractice basic respect towards yourself.DBe honest with yourself and with others.EThink about what it means to respect someone.FRecognize when people disrespect you and take steps to stop it.How to Respect YourselfA lack of selfrespect can prevent you from fulfilling your potential and developing healthy relationships. Here are some steps to help you know how to respect yourself.31_The qualities that we respect vary from person to person，and the way we express it varies from culture to culture. Generally，we respect people who have more experience and are more accomplished than ourselves. But there is also a basic level of respect that most people will agree is a right，and does not need to be earned. So think about what it means to respect others .Here are some widely agreedupon signals of respect: You dont steal from，harm，or insult them; you are honest with them; you listen to what they say，consider their opinions，and avoid interrupting them.32_We often do things for ourselves that we would never dream of doing for someone we care about. Whatever you believe to be respectful，apply it to yourself .Dont harm yourself. Dont insult yourself. Dont steal from yourself. Be honest with yourself .Develop your own opinions and dont be afraid to stand by them.33_A person with selfrespect doesnt allow others to treat them badly，and would rather not be around someone who is disrespectful. This might seem obvious，but there are many times when we accept being treated badly. When someone doesnt give you basic respect，you need to be able to say，in one way or another，“You just disrespected me and thats not acceptable! If you dont respect me，I wont spend time with you any more.” Can you say that，and mean it? Can you turn your back on someone whos clearly shown that they dont respect you? Once you do，youll feel your sense of selfrespect go up.34_When you make an effort to keep your body in good working order，youll not only feel better physically，but also feel a sense of pride. Respecting your body also means not insulting it for what it is，naturally. Make an effort to get fit and stay healthy. Focus on the things you can change and improve，and do them because it feels good.35_The more you know about yourself，the more youll see and appreciate how unique you really are. And youll respect yourself more .Discover your principles，personality，and talents. Stop waiting for other peoples approval and start developing your own standards .Develop a unique and original way of expressing your opinions while at the same time being a good listener.第三节：完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 20 分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意， 然后从 36-55 各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。My grandparents lived in a town in Michigan .Every summer I stayed with them as a young child .I came from the city but loved the small 36 they lived in.
