AFrom American Express, wedding guests will, on average, spend $673 on each wedding they attend this year.It includes airfare ($225), hotel ($170), dining out ($116) and dressing up ($95) and the gift.If you have weddings to attend this year, here are some tips for you to avoid breaking the bank.1.Book flights in advanceThe moment you decide to attend a wedding is the time to check flight prices at the best time.Plane fares are higher in the summer, especially in July and August.Booking in advance will save you money, as will watch for sales on lower-cost carriers like JetBlue and Frontier.You can check Google Flights for a calendar of prices showing the cheapest days to fly from apps like Hopper to get real-time alerts when a fare is at its lowest price point.2.Don't blow your budget on the giftIf you've got the money, an expensive gift is lovely.But there's no need to take out loans to prove your love for the happy couple.Skip an expensive necklace by giving (an appropriate amount of) cash instead.To save on the gift, consider making one: A photo album or scrapbook of memories with the bride and groom shows how much you care.You could also share the gift with other guest(s) or even make gifts with DIY ideas by yourself to save money.e old dresses and suitsYou don't always have to be on a new dress for a wedding.While men have the option of repeating their suits, women are more likely to spend money on new clothes for the special occasion.Butbefore you take out your wallet, consider reinventing something already in your closet.Belts, colorful scarves, shoes can bring life to any outfit.21.How much does a wedding guest spend on the gift on average?A.$673B.$225C.$67D.$9522.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.People always wear their new clothes at the wedding.B.Men are more likely to wear new clothes to attend a wedding.C.It saves you money to creatively wear old clothes.dies tend to wear their favorite suits for a wedding.23.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To help people save money while holding their weddings.B.To give some tips on saving money to attend a wedding.C.To introduce general expenses of attending a wedding.D.To state some aspects to be considered while holding weddings.BIt had been a long winter.Bitter cold, snowy days had hit us again and again.On the warmer days there had been little sunshine, but only cold, icy rain.The sun had become such a rare sight that I had to look at a picture of it on my wall calendar from time to time to remember what it looked like.The grass had remained brown and dormant(潜伏的）in the grassland.My own backyard had turned into a muddy mess that tried to steal the shoes right off my feet as I walked on it.My heart ached and longed for spring, and my own good cheer had trouble rising up against the continuous, cold, gray days.The rain poured down on me as I walked my dogs, holding their leashes in my icy fingers.I looked up at the sky hoping to see the sun smiling down with its warm, golden face.But it was no use.It was then, however, that I saw it.It wasn’t the smiling face of the sun in the sky but a little, yellow face peeking(微露出) through the mud.It was a tiny flower, and it filled my heart with hope and joy.I smiled and thanked God for this little sign that winter would soon be over and that spring would arrive.I felt my good cheer rising up at last and I promised God that I would share it with everyone I could.One day that tiny flower’s seeds will fill the grassland with little, yellow faces smiling up from the ground.Its work will make this world a better and more beautiful place.May we all do the same.May we all shine our light and share our love even on the coldest and grayest days.May we all help to share a bit of spring in winter.May we all work to make this world better and brighter even when it is at its darkest.24.Why did the author look at a picture of sun on a wall calendar from time to time?A.Because she hadn’t seen sunshine for a long time.B.Because she wanted to check how long the cold winter would last.C.Because she couldn’t go out.D.Because she looked forward to spring.25.The author felt _______ before she found the tiny flower.A.worriedB.angryC.hopefulD.frustrated26.What can be inferred from the passage?A.The tiny flower was found in the author’s backyard.B.The tiny flower inspired the author very much.C.The author would share the tiny flower with others.D.The author would never mind the cold weather.27.What can be the best title of the passage?A.A Cold WinterB.A Tiny flowerC.Sharing Makes the WorldD.Hopes Make Our LifeCChinese has overtaken French, Spanish and German to become one of the most promising foreign languages for job seekers in the UK.Research shows graduates in Chinese earn an average yearly salary of 31,000 pounds or more.Chinese students set themselves up for a different university experience from others who take traditional subjects.While an English student may have as little as six hours of a week, those studying Chinese are in class for most of the day.“I had a lot of friends on other courses who didn’t do much in first or second year.You can’t play at Chinese.You have to spend hours and hours writing characters,”says Hannah, who graduated in Chinese Studies from Sheffield University.“The first year was really difficult.Most of my friends admitted at one point to crying because of the pressure.I was almost told at one point that I might want to reconsider and drop out.”So are the evenings in learning characters while your friends are at the student bar really worth it? Despite the painful studying experience, most of the graduates think so.They use Chinese in their chosen careers, and would not have been in the jobs they do now without their knowledge of the language.Liberty now works for the civil service in Beijing.She earned a place on the Department for International Development graduate scheme with a salary of over 30,000 pounds within two years.“The degree was absolutely worth it.Looking around at people I know who have studied French or Spanish at university, there’s not such a chance to use it in the workplace.”Hannah has set her apart in the workplace, but she warns ambitious students to think about whether they would really want to live in China in the future before setting their sights on a profitable career path.“Some people think they are going to learn Chinese and then be a big success, but I think it’s important to be quite realistic about that.”28.What does the underlined phrase “play at”probably mean in Paragraph 2?A.Treat seriouslyB.Learn lazilyC.Talk amusinglyD.Cheat cleverly29.What can you learn from Liberty’s and Hannah’s career experience?A.Chinese degree helped them to find satisfying jobs.B.There are students learning characters at the student bar.C.Graduates with French or Spanish degree have no chance to find jobs.D.By learning Chinese, people are to have a successful career.30.What’s Hannah’s attitude to choosing Chinese as a possible career?A.DoubtfulB.IndifferentC.PuzzledD.Objective31.What is the main idea of the text?A.Many foreign college students come to China to seek jobs.B.Some college students consider dropping out Chinese because of its pressure.C.Chinese is difficult and college students should be realistic about choosing it.D.Chinese degree needs painful working, but it is worthy in job seeking.DThe world's oceans are sick, and getting sicker every day.Two new studies show the warming of Earth's atmosphere is removing oxygen from ocean waters.Oxygen is necessary for all life in the oceans, except for a few extremely small organisms.And researchers said oxygen levels are low enough to threaten all the ocean life that depends on it.Denise Breitburg is an ocean scientist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center.She is also a member of the Global Ocean Oxygen Network, a team of scientists organized by the United Nations to study the issue.She told the Associated Press, "If you can't breathe, nothing else matters.That pretty much describes it ."Scientists with the Global Ocean Oxygen Network reported that more than 32 million square kilometers of ocean are low in oxygen.These affected areas reach a depth of about 200 meters.This area is bigger than Africa, the second largest continent.The scientists say the area of low oxygen levels has grown about 16 percent since 1950.The Global Ocean Oxygen Network's report is the widest reaching look at decreasing oxygen levels in the world's seas so far.Lisa Levin is a professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a co-author of the report.In her words, "The low oxygen problem is the biggest unknown climate change consequence out there."Levin said past research had shown low oxygen areas that were the result of agricultural pollution.She said past studies also showed how warmer waters had created a lack of oxygen.But Levin said this latest study shows how both problems are connected by common causes and possible solutions.Co-author Denise Breitburg said that some low oxygen levels in the world's ocean are natural, but not to the extent found.Wind patterns and ocean currents, believed caused by global warming, are preventing oxygen from sinking below the surface of the water.In addition, warmer water does not hold as much oxygen and less oxygen mixes into the water, she said.32.Why are the world’s oceans sick?A.Because the ocean life is sick.B.Because the Earth’s atmosphere is becoming warmer.C.Because the oxygen is being removed from ocean waters.D.Because there is too much oxygen to threaten the ocean life.33.What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Oxygen being essential to ocean life.B.Oceans being sicker and sicker.C.Oxygen being not enough in the ocean.D.Atmosphere removing oxygen from ocean waters.34.About _______ million square kilometers of ocean are lack of oxygen in 1950.A.32B.27.6C.37D.20035.From the passage we can learn that_______.A.all life in the ocean depends on oxygen to liveB.oxygen levels in the ocean are likely to climbC.air pollution leads to low oxygen levels in oceansD.cold water holds more oxygen than warm water第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

ADr Almeida left school at 16 with little formal education but got a job as a laboratory technician in histopathology ( 组织病理学 ) at Glasgow Royal Infirmary. Later she moved to London to further her career and in 1954 married Enriques Almeida, an artist.The couple and their young daughter moved to Toronto in Canada and it was at the Ontario Cancer Institute that Dr Almeida developed her outstanding skills with an electron microscope.She pioneered a method which better visualized ( 成像 ) viruses by using antibodies to gather them. Her talents were recognized in the UK and she was invited to work atSt Thomas’s Hospital Medical School in London.On her return, she began to cooperate with Dr David Tyrrell. Dr Tyrrell and his team were able to grow quite a few common cold-associated viruses. One sample, known as B814, was discovered in 1960. They found that they were able to transmit ( 传染 ) common cold symptoms to volunteers but they were unable to grow it in routine cell culture ( 细胞培养 ). However, volunteer studies showed its growth in organ cultures ( 器官培养 ). Dr Tyrrell wondered if itcould be seen by an electron microscope. They sent samples to Almeida who found that they were like flu viruses but not exactly the same. She identified what became known as the first human coronavirus ( 冠状病毒 ).Dr Almeida had actually seen particles ( 微粒) like this before while investigating viruses in mice and chickens. However, when she sent her paper about this discovery to a medical journal, it was rejected. It was two years later that the first photographs of the virus she had seen were published in Journal of General Virology. It was named coronavirus because of the crown surrounding it on the viral image.21. Why did Dr Almeida return to work in the UK ?A. Because her family did not like Toronto.B. Because the UK appreciated her talents.C. Because she bettered an electron microscope.D. Because she was the first one to visualize viruses.22. What can we know about B814?A. It could be grown in routine cell culture.B. It was unable to develop in organ cultures.C. It’s exactly the same with influenza viruses.D. It was identified as the first human coronavirus.23. What can we connect with the name “coronavirus”?A. Its viral image.B. Its deadly power.。

ADear Daughter,As we drove off from Columbia University, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about. I encourage you to be inquisitive, but I also want to tell you: "Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten." What I mean by that is the materials taught isn't as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the ability to analyze a new problem. That is really what learning in college is about—this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become a self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn isn't critical for your life, the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever，so do your best in classes and learn.Take care of yourself and follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don't be trapped in what others think or say.Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life. Pick a few friends and become really close to them —pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you.

Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams, to rivers and to oceans. But downhill isn’t the only way that water moves. A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption. This flow isn’t the type we usually think scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports. They call this a flow of “virtual water”.We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap. However,92％of the water used by people goes into growing crops, according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra. He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats. These products are shipped around the world.For example, consider a sugary soft drink. Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170 and 310 liters of water—about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients(原料).Another 4％goes into the packaging and labeling. In Hoekstra’s c alculation, when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad，it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator．According to Hoekstra’s new report，dry countries like Israel and Kuwait，both in the Middle East, get the majority of their virtual water from other countries，through imported products. More surprisingly, some wetter countries，like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, also get the majority of their virtual water from other places. That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries.25. The proverb in Paragraph One is used to_________.A. inspire readers to struggle upwardB. tell a law of natureC. introduce the topic of the passageD. summarize the main idea of the passage26. In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside? .A. The United Kingdom and ChinaB. America and IsraelC. The Netherlands and KuwaitD. The Netherlands and America27. What can be a suitable title for the passage?A. Benefits of Virtual WaterB. Hidden Uses of WaterC. Crops and Virtual WaterD. Water’s Worldwide Travels28. Where does the passage probably come from?A .A science news report. B. A newspaper advertisement.C. A book review.D. A science fiction story.CThough many Internet celebrities try to shrug off their fame, Yan Mingliang, 27, has dreamed of joining the Internet elite(精英) ever since he entered college.However, luck didn’t favor him. Instead, fame fell into the lap of his pet dog, Beiji. In early 2015, Yan used his microblog to post two pictures of Beiji lyingon the ground, and they went viral on social media. Because he took the photos ata strange angle, it almost looks like Beiji’s body has fallen apart.Finally, Yan got to experience what is like to be an Internet celebrity, or more accurately, the owner of an Internet celebrity dog. New followers started to flood in, and Yan received hundreds of private messages each day. In less than four weeks, Yan managed to attract more than 20,000 followers. “I am famous now.”Yan thoughtat that time.However, fame didn’t just bring joy, but also annoyance. Since Beiji was only3 months old and Yan sometimes had to put him into a cage as a means of “education”, there were also private messages from followers who fiercely criticized Yan for being too cruel.“It gradually occurred to me that no matter how frankly you present yourselfon social media, Internet users only witness part of your life. And their judgments depend on that partial life story of yours,” said Yan, “They don’t know how hardit is to raise a pet dog when you’re unemployed, Yan explained. They also don’tcare about whether the dog they’re enjoying is being pushed too hard.”Yan finally decided to leave his Internet fame behind and focus more on his real life. “The lesson I learned is that, if you can’t live up to your followers’expectations, it’s better not to be an Internet celebrity,” he said.29. The underlined phrase “went viral” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A. were exposedB. became widely-spreadC. were criticizedD. became viruses30. Why did Yan become famous?A. Because his dog became famous.B. Because he posted two pictures on the Internet.C. Because he took a strange picture.D. Because he became an Internet celebrity.31. How did Yan probably feel at first when he realized he became well-known?A. puzzled and annoyedB. surprised and tiredC. disappointed and annoyedD. excited and joyful32. What can we infer from what Yan said in the last two paragraphs?A. It is hard to raise a pet dog.B. He isn’t fully understood on the Internet.C. He decided to stop making use of his microblog.D. Internet celebrities can’t satisfy their followers.DYou might think going to school during the summer is opposite to what summertime is all about. But for the thousands of Calgary kids with a true love of learning, there’s no better time to have fun with their education, while at the same time getting a rough idea of what their post-secondary future might hold.The University of Calgary, Mount Royal University and SAIT Polytechnic all offer summertime programs that give kids hands-on experience in the labs and other facilities they’ll be working in down the road.“Our bread and butter is Mini Universi ty PhD,” says Don McSwiney, spokesperson for U of C Summer Camps. “The idea is to give people a fun learning experience and a hands-on learning experience, which helps kids understand concepts better than learning in a book.” Mini University PhD gets kids into the labs and art studios of the U of C, where they take part in programs such as The Scientist, where they learn about topics like mapping DNA and creating volcanoes. Mini U programs dealing with art and sports are also being offered this year. Minds in Motion motivates kids to explore science, engineering and technology in a hands-on way.At Mount Royal, the MRU Kids program is marking its 20th anniversary. “We have about 18 different programs for children from 6 to 17.” says program administrator Maya Anderson. There's also the ConocoPhillips Youth Science Academy for ages 13to 17，which focuses more on the academic -- those who want to go into science. More than 3,200 kids are expected to take part in MRU summer programs, which helps to keep kids engaged in learning through the summer in a fun way.SAIT Polytechnic has added more camps for the grades 4 to 6 range, and the list includes topics ranging from Sports Science and SCISpy, to Planet Protectors (energy, engineering, environment).“We focus o n building self-confidence in our campers,” says Jaros. “Making them confident in their ability to learn and become reengaged in learning, without the pressure of school.”33. If a student wants to know how to map DNA, he should attend_________.A. MRU kidsB. The ScientistC. Minds in MotionD. Einstein’s Shampoo34. We can learn from the passage that_________.A. the campers have great fun in the summertime programsB. the summertime programs merely focus on hands-on learning coursesC. the program of sports has been offered for 20 yearsD. the summer campers are all confident of their future35. The purpose of the passage is __________.A. to show children’s great desire for knowledgeB. to complain students’ stressful life during the summerti meC. to persuade parents to send their children to more programs in universityD. to introduce summertime programs performed by three Calgary universities第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

They play basketball together, share meals and dance to hip-hop like no one‘s watching.The trainer was asked to work with the 13-year-old boy, who has Down syndrome (唐氏症), because his coworker who dealt with the boy was out of town last spring. Callari had never worked with someone with a disability before. He was anxious the first day he met Parker. But Parker’s big smile and cheery introduction immediately put him at ease. He reminded Callari of himself when he was a teenager. Like Parker, Callari has also faced his fair share of challenges over the years.As a high schooler, Callari described himself as being the weak kid. When it came to sports, he was always overlooked. His dream of playing baseball in college quickly faded away. When he went to college, Callari turned to a new sport. His younger brothertrained him to become a boxer. Callari participated in five matches. Out of four of those fights he was the underdog, and he won three times. "I know how it feels, "Callari said. "Society tells you that you can't do this, you can’t do that. "When it comes to Parker, Callari refuses to accept the word “can't”The friends meet twice a week to train. They bike, box, run and work on their core with push-ups. Parker has a short attention span, so it's callari's job to keep him focused. "If Parker can do it, if he's having fun, even with his frustration, then people will ask, ‘Why can't I do that?” Callari said. “That's the whole task right now.”Callari recalls parker's mom once thanking him for taking a "chance" on her son. Callari told her he never viewed it that way. Parker may be the student, but Callari says he's also the one who's learning24. Why was Callari asked to train Parker?A. They shared the same interests.B Parkers parents had faith in Callari.C. Callari took place of his absent colleague,D Callari was an expert in Down syndrome25. What can we learn about Callari when he was in high school?A. He was good at sports.B. He was out of condition.C. He was looked down upon by everyoneD. He was influenced deeply by his brother26. What attitude does Callari have to Parker?A. Grateful B Sympathetic. C. Cautious D. Critical27. What is the text mainly about?A. An inspiring story of a disabled boyB. A high schooler suffering lots of failure.C. The friendship between a disabled boy and his personal trainerD. Ways of developing friendship with the boy with Down syndromeCBeing mistreated at work can make people take out their negative emotions on loved ones at home. But a new study suggests that getting more exercise and sleep may help people better cope with them by leaving them at work, where they belong.Previous research shows that employees who are looked down on or insulted by colleagues are likely to express their frustrations and behave angrily toward people outside of work, says study co-author Shannon Taylor, a management professor at the University of Central Florida's College of Business.The new study backs up this idea, but offers a bit of good news as well: Employees who averaged more than 10, 500 steps a day or burned at least 2, 100 calories were less likely to mistreat their cohabitants than those who averaged fewer steps or burned fewer calories.The findings also revealed that when employees felt they had a bad night's sleep because of work issues, they were more likely to be grouchy at home. "When you're tired, you are either less able or less motivated to regulate yourself." says co-author Larissa Barber, a professor of psychology at Northern Illinois University.Physical activity seems to counterbalance poor sleep, Barber says, because it promotes healthy brain functions needed to properly regulate emotions and behaviors. "This study suggests that high amounts of exercise can be at least one way to improve the situations brought by sleep troubles that lead to negative behaviors at home, "she says.Barber acknowledges that finding time to work out and get a full night’s sleep can be difficult when work pressure is mounting, and that often, job stress can be directly related to sleep quality. But, she says, making the effort to burn some extra calories and blow off some steam can be worth it. It's not only good for you, says Taylor, but it can benefit the people live with.28. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Loved people at home B Negative emotions.C. Different work pressures. D More exercise and sleep29. Who will most probably behave angrily to family members?A. A person who is easy to get tired.B. A person who often goes to the gym to work outC. A person who is always treated badly by coworkers.D A person who often argues with colleagues30. The underlined word "counterbalance" in Paragraph 5 is doesn’t in meaning toA. make use ofB. take control ofC. keep up with D make up for31. What can we learn from the text?A. Work pressure makes no difference in sleep quality.B. How to burn more calories has become a major issue for workers.C Enough exercise can replace good sleep in dealing with negative behaviors.D. The amount of calories employees burn affects the frequency of losing temper.DGoogle, one of the world's outstanding tech companies, was attacked. It wasn’t its search engine that was attacked or its advertising platform or even its social network, Google+. Instead, it was a building.Two web security experts hacked (侵入) into its Wharf 7 office in Sydney, Australia through Googles building management system (BMS). One of them, Billy Rios, says, My colleague and I have a lot of experience in web security, but it is not something that people couldn't learn. Once you understand how the system works，it is very simple.”They found the system on Shodan, a search engine that lists devices connected to the Internet, and then ran it through their own software to identify who owned the building. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had no immoral purpose and just informed Google about what they found.According to Mr. Rios, who runs security company Whitescope, there are 50,000 buildings currently connected to the Internet, including research institutes, churches and hospitals, and 2, 000 of those are online with no password protection. Martyn Thomas, a professor of IT at Gresham College in the UK, says, "It is beyond doubt that attempts to attack building management systems are happening all thetime.”Making a building smart generally means connecting the systems that control heating, lighting and security to the Internet and the wider corporate network. There was a strong reason for doing this, said Andrew Kelly, principal security consultant at defence company Qinetiq.Energy savings are the biggest factor in connecting building management systems to the corporate network, he says. "It gives those who run the building better control and offers between 20% to 50% in energy savings, "he adds.But it also makes them less secure. And if any of these feels like a Hollywood film, think again.32. How did Billy Rios and his colleague hack Googles building?A. They invented a search engine and connected it to Googles building.B. They worked for Google and mastered how the building worked.C. They used Google's BMS to find out the owner of the building.D. They connected their own software to the building to run Google.33. In the case of the Google hacking, the researchers had the intention ofA analyzing some immoral problemsB. explaining the reasons for energy savingsC. entering Google's building to save more energyD. telling Google about the Wharf 7 office's hidden danger34. What's the main idea of Paragraph 4?A. There are many researchers contributing a lot to web securityB. The building management systems of some buildings are in danger.C. The attack on building management systems happens all over the world.D. There are too many buildings connected to the Internet to be managed well35. What is the author’s at titude towards the way of the energy savings of some buildings?A. Negative. B Ambiguous C. Indifferent D Favorable.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

used to live across the road from a big hill with huge oak trees growing out of it．When winter arrived，thick，heavy snow would fall，and my two brothers would grab their sleds heading over to the hill for a day of fun．I remember watching them with envy because 1 was still too small to go sledding．Finally，one winter 1 was considered big enough and joined my brothers as they carried their sleds up the long hill and prepared to ride down it．The first few trips I rode with one of my brothers and had the time of my life．It was so exhilarating when the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled．Near the end of the day 1 was overjoyed too when my oldest brother decided to let me try riding the sled all by myself．I climbed on it full of excitement and lay on my stomach．Then with one big push my brother sent me down the snowy hillside．1 was doing pretty well too until I hit an old stump hidden by the snow and went off course，straight towards one of those big oak trees．My heart pounded in my chest and I could hear myself screaming．At the last possible second I rolled off and the sled crashed into the tree．I could hear my brothers running down the hill yelling，“You have to steer(操控)!You have to steer!”Sadly，that wasn’t the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle knocked me off course in my life．Many times problems，troubles，and my own failures have sent me crashing into the trees of anger,sledding．I am still learning that it is up frustration, and despair．I am still learning that life isn’t always safeto me to steer myself back to love, back to kindness, back to goodness, and back to God．Life is a trip，but no one ever said it was a smooth ride．Steer well then．Steer straight．Steer your soul towards the light and the love we are all meant for．25．What do we know about the author when he was very young?A．He lived on a big hill with huge oak trees on it．B．He was frightened to go sledding with his brothers．C．He longed to go sledding
