【题目】 For years, life went something like this: We'd grow up in one place, head off to college, and then find a city to live in for a few years at time to pursue a job or higher education. The end goal was to find somewhere to settle down, buy a house, start a family, and begin the whole cycle all over again.

But a new model for living is emerging: More and more people are moving from city to city throughout their entire lives, sometimes as frequently as every month. Just ask Alex Chatzielefteriou, who has had a front-row seat watching this evolution unfold.

Six years ago, he launched a startup called Blueground that rents out beautifully designed, fully furnished apartments for a month at a time, at rates that are cheaper than hotels. Today, the company has 3,000 properties in six U.S. cities, along with Dubai, Istanbul, London, Paris, and Chatzielefteriou's native Athens, and a staff of 400. The company just invested $78 million to continue its rapid expansion and make each one feel unique and cosy, rather than standardized, like what you might find in a traditional hotel.

Chatzielefteriou first came up with the idea for Blueground while he was working as a management consultant for McKinsey. “The accommodation of choice for consultants is the hotel,” he says. “I had to spend five years in a hotel room, living in 12 different cities. I loved seeing the world, but I didn't love feeling like I didn't have a home.” As he spoke to his friends and coworkers, he realized that many people were frustrated with this restless lifestyle. And what's more, hotels aren't a particularly cost-effective solution for companies either. In Chatzielefteriou's case, McKinsey sometimes paid S10,000 or more for him to stay in a major city for a month, which was far more expensive than local rents.

1What's the main purpose of the first paragraph?

A.To tell the end goal of our life.

B.To introduce the topic of the text.

C.To stress the importance of buying a house.

D.To explain the reason for people's flooding into cities.

2What motivated Chatzielefteriou to set up a company?

A.His urge to have a home.

B.His desire to make money.

C.His friends' encouragement.

D.His experience in living in hotel.

3Why is Blueground a success?

A.It has obvious price superiority.

B.It has good geographical location.

C.It has beautifully designed apartments.

D.It has unique and comfortable environment.

4What does the text mainly talk about?

A.The fall of traditional hotels.

B.The rise of a new living model.

C.The advantages of Blueground.

D.The disadvantages of traditional hotels.

【题目】 Smooth balls of ice rolled ashore on a beach in Finland and piled up like a huge bunch of turtles' eggs. But where did these “ice eggs” come from?

Amateur photographer Risto Mattila stumbled upon the strange sight while walking with his wife on Hailuoto Island. The temperature remained around minus 1degree Celsius that day, he said, and the wind blew quickly across the beach. “There we found this amazing phenomenon. There was snow and ice eggs along the beach near the water line”.

The “ice eggs” littered an area the length of about one-quarter of a football field and ranged in size from that of an average chicken egg to that of a powerful soccer ball. Mattila took a photo, noting that he had “never seen anything like this during 25 years around here.” Others came upon the ice eggs, too. “I've never seen this before. The whole beach was almost full of these ice balls,” said Tarja Terentjeff, who lives in the nearby town of Oulu. Another local, Sirpa Tero, told CNN she’d seen snowballs line the shoreline before, but not over such a large area.

“Although it happens once in a blue moon, these ice eggs form similarly to sea glass or rounded stones that wash up on the beach.” said BBC Weather expert George Goodfellow. Chunks() of ice break off from larger ice sheets in the sea and either slide to shore on the incoming tide or get pushed in by strong spells of wind at the water' s surface, he explained. Waves buffet(冲击) the ice chunks as they travel, slowly eroding their rough edges into smooth curves. Seawater sticks and freezes to the forming eggs, causing them to grow like snowballs do as they roll across the ground, leaving behind nothing but smooth and shiny “eggs” for curious tourists to happen upon.

1The underlined phrase “stumbled upon” in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by_ _

A.pulled throughB.survived from

C.ran acrossD.took notes of

2What can we know from Paragraph 3?

A.It was a very unusual phenomenon.B.Ice eggs gathered in a football field.

C.Only a quarter of the area was stricken.D.The beach was completely ice-covered.

3According to Goodfellow, how did the “ice eggs” come into being?

A.By means of sea water buffeting the wood chunks.

B.On the basis of the strong force of the cold wind.

C.By way of the special location and cold weather.

D.Through a rare combination of weather and waves.

4What does the text mainly talk about?

A.An extraordinary trip of “ice eggs”.B.The power of wind and seawater.

C.A strange weather-based occurrence.D.How snowball affected the shoreline.

Dear Tom,

I haven’t heard from you for a long time. What is everything going with you? To be honest, I amnot used the food here and the weather always makes me uncomfortably. Therefore, I find that difficult to concentrate on my studies. The new teachers are friendly and they speak so fast that I can’t quite understand them. This often discourages from me in class. What’s bad, I always feel lonely after school. I really want to go back to my previous school, studied together with you.

I was very worried, Can you give me some advices? I'm looking forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Jack
