第二部分閱讀理解第一節(jié)閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A， B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

• 1．On many travelers' lists of things to do before they die，you'll find "See the northern lights" written down.Rightfully so-these lights are one of nature's most jaw-dropping views.
     In Sweden，the northern lights usually appear from late March or early April.Your best chance of catching a glimpse of them is on cold winter nights when the sky is clear，dark with little to no moonlight，and cloudless.You need to be away from city lights and go to the countryside.For those willing to brave the cold on winter nights，here are some of the best locations.
     Abisko National Park
     Abisko National Park is a main location.The scientifically confirmed "blue hole"-a piece of sky over the Tornetrask lake that usually remains clear despite cloudy weather nearby一 gives Abisko its own microclimate（局部地區(qū)氣候），which is suitable for catching the lights.
     Jukkasjarvi
     The village of Jukkasjarvi only has about 550 people.But don't let the small population size fool you：Jukkasjarvi owns the world's first ice hotel and is one of the best places to view the northern lights.The ice hotel organizes guided tours for guests to the Esrange Space Center.There you can eat at a camp outside and see the Arctic winter sky for aurora borealis（北極光）.Or why not try to get closer to the northern lights and watch them through an aeroplane window？The ice hotel arranges flights for the amazing northern lights experience.
     Gallivare
     You can drive a snowmobile to the mountain top in Gallivare for a private light show，or head a few kilometers to nearby villages to watch those lights shining across the dark winter sky.But remember-if you do get the chance to see the northern lights in person，never whistle to them.According to ancient Sumi fairy，it brings you bad luck.
  
  （1）When are you likely to best enjoy the northern lights in Sweden？

  
  A．On cold winter nights with clear sky and a little moonlight.
  B．On chilly winter nights in the rural area without moonlight or cloud.
  C．On freezing winter nights in the city center with few lights and little could.
  D．On winter nights when the sky is dark with little moonlight and no cloud.
  （2）What do you know about the Jukkasjarvi？

  
  A．It has up to 550 people.
  B．It owns the world's first hotel.

• 2．I began writing poems fifteen years ago while I was in college.One day I was in the library，working on a term paper，when I came across a book of contemporary poetry.I don't remember the title of the book or any of the titles of the poems except one： "Frankenstein's Daughter." The poem was wild，almost rude，and nothing like the rhyme-and-meter poetry I had read in high school.I had always thought that poetry was flowery writing about sunsets and walks on the beach，but that library book contained direct and sometimes shocking poetry about dogs，junked cars，rundown houses，and TVs.I checked the book out，curious to read more.
     Soon afterward，I started filling a notebook with my own poems.At first I was scared，partly because my poetry teacher，to whom this book is written for，was a serious and strict man who could see the errors in my poems.Also，I realized the seriousness of my devotion.I gave up geography to study poetry，which a good many friends said offered no future.I ignored them because I liked working with words，using them to reconstruct the past，which has always been a source of poetry for me.
     When I first studied poetry，I was single-minded.I woke to poetry and went to bed with poetry.I memorized poems，read English poets because I was told they would help shape my poems，and read classical Chinese poetry because I was told that it would add clarity to my work.But I was most taken by the Spanish and Latin American poets，particularly Pablo Neruda.My favorites of his were the odes ― long，short-lined poems celebrating common things like tomatoes，socks and scissors.I felt joyful when I read these odes，and when I began to write my own poems，
     I tried to remain faithful to the common things of my childhood — dogs，alleys （小巷），my baseball mitt （手套） and the fruit of the valley，especially the orange.I wanted to give these things life，to write so well that my poems would express their beauty.
     I also admired our own country's poetry.I saw that our poets often wrote about places where they grew up or places that impressed them deeply.James Wright wrote about Ohio and West Virginia，Philip Levine about Detroit，Gary Snyder about the Sierra Nevadas and about Japan，where for years he studied Zen Buddhism （禪宗佛教）.I decided to write about the San Joaquin Valley，where my hometown，F(xiàn)resno，is located.Some of my poems are absolute observations and images of nature — the orange yards，the Kings River，the Sequoias （紅杉）.I fell in love with the valley，both its ugliness and its beauty，and quietly wrote poems about it to share with others.

• 3．Under normal circumstances，falling asleep during a paid tour is a waste of money or an offense to your guide at worst.But that's not the case with this new experience coming out of Hong Kong.As its name suggests，the Sleeping Bus Tour is designed to help passengers catch some sleep，and rides are already selling out.
     A 2022 survey by the Chinese University of Hong Kong's Center of Communication and Public Opinion notes almost 70% respondents experiences some form of sleep disorder.Hong Kongers have much stress from work and need a space for sleeping，but their living spaces are too small.Some may not live alone and have to share apartments with their family，which may not be a good environment for a proper rest. （公眾號拾穗者的雜貨鋪）.
     After noticing passengers falling asleep on their buses，the Hong Kong tour company，Ulu Travel Agency，recently launched such an innovative way for adults to sleep：the Sleeping Bus Tour The five-hour bus ride takes passengers on an 83-kilometer （about 51.5 miles） journey aboard a regular double decker bus.Not only is the Sleeping Bus Tour the first of its kind，it's also the longest bus route in Hong Kong，ensuring that tired passengers have plenty of time to enjoy some sleep.
     Once passengers board the bus，they are treated with a goodie bag complete with an eye mask and earplugs to help them sleep and they are allowed to bring their own blankets and sippers.The long ride includes a few stops for scenic spots and bathroom breaks.Passengers can also get off the bus early at one of several drop-off points if they'd prefer to continue their sleep at home rather than complete the entire journey.Tickets for the Sleeping Bus Tour are divided in four categories from the"Zero-decibel（分貝） Sleeping Cabin" to the"VIP Cabin." Prices range from about 17 USDto115 USD per person.
     For more information on this unique experience，head to the Ulu travel company website.

      It was somewhere between spring and summer. My mom and I were driving through the countryside. Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with mom. But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.
      A pot of flowers sat in the back seat， whose pleasant smell filled the car. Suddenly， in the middle of nowhere， my mom pulled over. "What are you doing？" I cried， fearing that the car had broken down and we'd be stuck there， so far from home. But that wasn't the case. My mom jumped out of the car， seizing the flowers from the back seat. "It'll just be a minute，" she called back through the open windows.
      My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building， somewhat annoyed， as my mom reappeared empty-handed.
      Before she started the car， curiosity drove me to ask， "Do you know someone there？" She shook her head. "Then what did you do with the flowers？" She smiled slightly， "I gave them to the receptionist（前臺接待員）." "What？" She laughed at my confusion. "I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them， especially who hasn't gotten any in a while."
      I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we continued our driving. I spoke again，"Did you leave your name？" To this she answered， "No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good， which is enough of a thank for me."
      Suddenly， still thinking about Mom's deeds， I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse， because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it， and we didn't know where the garage was. It also seemed impossible to wait for any passer-by， since we had seen so few along the way.
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
  2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
