A
Some Strangest Festivals From Around The World
Through the years, people have found many ways to celebrate important occasions in their lives. If you’re looking for an interesting and off-the-beaten-path travel place, here are some most wonderful and unusual festivals from around the world.
Boryeong Annual Mud Festival Boryeong rock
This festival takes place at the beach, with much mud (泥巴) resource from the sea. At this festival, people take part in a number of activities involving (涉及) mud, which not only brings back happy childhood memories but is good for the skin.
World Body-painting Festival, P rtschach, Austria
This entire festival is not strange because of the activities that occur (发生) during it, but because of the way people look when it’s over. During this time, artists worldwide flood in and hold live body-painting activities. They are painting creative designs on willing participants (参与者).
Underwater Music Festival, Florida, America
Rather than being held at a typical concert hall, the underwater Music Festival takes place on the seabed. This special custom is unlike any others because it featured musicians playing music below water level. 100 feet deep in clear water, talented musicians wear diving (潜水) equipment, performing free concerts for sea creatures and humans alike.
Battle of the orange, Ivrea, Italy
This Italian town hosts one of the most unusual festivals. Each year in February, a battle (战斗) takes place among thousands of participants who have to throw orange at each other during a 30-minute fight. The aim is to try and knock down other participants by attacking them with oranges so that they cannot stand any longer.
21. What can tourists do at the Boryeong Annual Mud Festival
A. Experience mud bath. B. Join in fights with oranges.
C. Have their faces painted. D. Enjoy live music underwater.
22. From which festival can people display art with their bodies
A. Battle of the oranges. B. Underwater Music Festival.
C. World Body-painting Festival. D. Boryeong Annual Mud Festival.
23. What animals may be the audience of the Underwater Music Festival

My teacher said to a student: “Give me your phone.”
We all looked in surprise. Kyle, a student who I never saw text in class, gave the teacher his phone.
When the teacher left, two students who I often saw text in class started boasting (自夸) about how they sent text messages and never got caught. “Kyle, you don’t text in class that way!” one of them said. “I put my phone under my desk so it looks like I’m looking at my textbooks.”
“Isn’t it funny that we always text and never get caught, but the first time Kyle does it, he gets caught ” the other one laughed.
They must have thought they were smart, because they never got caught and Kyle did. But which situation is worse: getting caught, or getting away with it Rules are there for a reason. These two students might not have got caught, but neither of them had good grades. They keep texting in class, not paying any attention. I think they will keep breaking the rules in the future.
People don’t just break the law and get thrown into jail (监狱) right away. They take it one step at a time, starting with smaller rules. Kyle might have got caught, but at least he learned a good lesson. He will not break the rules in the future, so he will learn more in class and stay out of trouble. It’s smarter not to break the rules.
24. The teacher asked Kyle to give his phone because ________.
A. he was playing with his phone in class B. the students wanted to see Kyle’s new phone
C. the teacher wanted to teach him how to text D. the teacher wanted to speak to Kyle’s parents
25. How did the two students feel about not being caught texting in class
A. Sad. B. Calm. C. Proud. D. Disappointed.
26. Which is true according to the story
A. Kyle often texts in class. B. Kyle is not smart enough.
C. Rules are there for no reason. D. The two students who often text in class had bad grades.
27. What would the writer agree
A. Kyle was a bad student. B. Texting in class is not a big deal.
C. Texting in class without being caught was easy. D. What the two students said and did were wrong.
C
If you thought running was just great for the body, then think again. Scientists have found that the sport not only keeps people fit but also improves your brain power (脑力).
The research found that people who keep fit are more likely to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking. They also found that unfit people tended to have smaller brains and reduced cognitive skills. The findings add to a growing body of evidence which links exercise with helping protect the brain against ageing (老化) and also helping it replace dying cells (死细胞). This might reduce the risk of many illnesses and diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
One research paper within its latest issue sees scientists at Kentucky University putting 30 adults aged 59 — 69 on a treadmill (跑步机). Their heart and lung capacity was measured and an MRI scanner was used to assess the blood flow to their brains. Those who were less fit had smaller brains compared to the fitter volunteers who had larger brains. Scientists in Germany followed 21 adults aged between 60 — 77. As they went through a three-month fitness program, they saw improvements in their memory.
Researchers are not yet sure why exercise helps to protect brain cells but some research in mice has produced results. Mice, examined at the National Institute on Ageing, in Baltimore, found that cells in the hippocampus (海马体), an area of the brain used for memory, were actively reproducing while their fatter peers were in decline.
Linda Clare, professor of clinical psychology of ageing and dementia at Exeter University and a member of the Global Council on Brain Health told The Sunday Times: “Moderate intensity aerobic (有氧的) activity such as walking, cycling or running can produce changes in brain structure and function.”
28. Who tend to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking
A. People who are healthy. B. People who are thin.
C. People who are unhealthy. D. People who are fat.
29. What do we learn from the experiment in paragraph 3
A. Those who were less fit had larger brains.
B. Those who were fitter had smaller brains.
C. Exercise helps people improve their memory.
D. Old people doing exercise improve memory better than young people.
30. Accord to Linda Clare, what kind of activity can NOT produce changes in brain structure and function
A. Walking. B. Singing.
C. Cycling. D. Running.
31. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To tell you sport improves your brain power.
B. To introduce some good ways to keep healthy.
C To teach you how to best spend time in doing sports.
D. To introduce several ways to improve your memory.
D
Rivers are very important. Humans rely on them for food and water. But rivers can destroy things, too. They can flood, or rise over their banks, making the water run into the nearby land. Floods can also kill humans and wildlife. However, floods are not always bad. Some ecosystems need them every once in a while.
Flooding can not only drown animals but also destroy habitats. For example, a flood in India in 2012 killed many one-horned rhinos. Flood waters can pick up dirt from riverbanks, which makes the water dirty. Too much dirt will clog rivers and streams, preventing the river from flowing. Sometimes flood waters can carry pollution to the sea and harm marine (海洋的) life. In addition, flood waters can carry disease, including hepatitis A and cholera.
However, not everything about floods is bad. Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems. Flood waters carry nutrients (营养物) to the nearby land. Over time, the water dries up and leaves behind particles (微粒) of dirt and mud. The particles are called sediment (沉淀物) which can be good due to its ability to improve the dirt and helps plants grow. Floods are important to some animals as well. For instance, some animals see floods as a sign that it is time to mate or migrate. Floods leave sediment on river beds where baby fish can grow and carry nutrients for small animals in the water to eat. Moreover, in dry seasons, water might dry up, but floods help refill the wetlands, keeping the ecosystem going.
Floods are a part of nature. They can destroy living things and the environment. But some ecosystems need floods to survive.
32. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word “clog” in paragraph 2
A. Block. B. Pollute. C. Become. D. Develop.
33. How do floods help ecosystems
A. Tiny fish going with floods feed some animals.
B. Floods make all the animals migrate more easily.
C. Nutrients carried by floods can make soil richer.
D. Floods can clean the dirt and help plants grow.
34. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The way in which floods feed animals. B. The benefits of floods to ecosystems.
C. An effective means of improving soil. D. The reason for people’s hating floods.
35. What’s the best title of this article
A. The Good Effects of Flooding B. The Secret of Flooding
C. Floods—a Part of Nature D. Floods—Everything Is So Bad

There’s a question about maths you can hear in high schools all around the world, “Why on earth are we learning something that we’ll never use in real life ” ___36___ Computers can help us do the maths, and the rest of the topics will only be useful for the expert-to-be.

In real life, setting goals can be a powerful tool for finding a way to reach them. Write the question down, and keep making it simple until it becomes clear. ___40___
A. Maths is supposed to teach you to think.
B. If you can’t solve the problem, solve a simpler one.
C. A great deal of high school maths has little practical use.

One sunny day, I drove to the airport and was waiting to pick up a friend. That day I had one of those experiences that change people’s lives.
It happened just two feet away from me. I was sitting on a bench and looked around the big waiting hall. Just then I noticed a man, carrying two bags, coming toward me. He stopped next to me. There stood his family, the wife and three lovely kids. He greeted them, with a big smile on his face.
First of all, he laid down his bag and came closer to his younger son (about six years old). They gave each other a warm, loving hug. Then the father looked in his son’s eyes with words, “I missed you so much. It’s so good to see you, son!” The boy smiled and said, “Me too, dad.”
Then the man talked to his older son (nine or ten years old). “Oh, you are quite the young man. I love you very much!” and cupped his face. Then they had the most tender hug too.
Afterwards the father said, “Hi, baby girl” to his baby daughter. She was moving excitedly in her mother’s arm and watching her returning father all the time. The man gently took his little daughter, quickly kissed her face all over and then held her close to his chest. The little girl laid her head on his shoulder in pure contentment.
After several moments, the man put down the baby daughter slowly. He turned to his wife and looked at her gently and said, “I’ve saved the best for last.” He shared with her the most passionate kiss. They stared at each other, having big smiles. They reminded(使想起) me of newlyweds(新婚夫妇).

My teacher said to a student: “Give me your phone.”
We all looked in surprise. Kyle, a student who I never saw text in class, gave the teacher his phone.
When the teacher left, two students who I often saw text in class started boasting (自夸) about how they sent text messages and never got caught. “Kyle, you don’t text in class that way!” one of them said. “I put my phone under my desk so it looks like I’m looking at my textbooks.”
“Isn’t it funny that we always text and never get caught, but the first time Kyle does it, he gets caught ” the other one laughed.
They must have thought they were smart, because they never got caught and Kyle did. But which situation is worse: getting caught, or getting away with it Rules are there for a reason. These two students might not have got caught, but neither of them had good grades. They keep texting in class, not paying any attention. I think they will keep breaking the rules in the future.
People don’t just break the law and get thrown into jail (监狱) right away. They take it one step at a time, starting with smaller rules. Kyle might have got caught, but at least he learned a good lesson. He will not break the rules in the future, so he will learn more in class and stay out of trouble. It’s smarter not to break the rules.
24. The teacher asked Kyle to give his phone because ________.
A. he was playing with his phone in class B. the students wanted to see Kyle’s new phone
C. the teacher wanted to teach him how to text D. the teacher wanted to speak to Kyle’s parents

26. Which is true according to the story
A. Kyle often texts in class. B. Kyle is not smart enough.
C. Rules are there for no reason. D. The two students who often text in class had bad grades.
27. What would the writer agree
A. Kyle was a bad student. B. Texting in class is not a big deal.
C. Texting in class without being caught was easy. D. What the two students said and did were wrong.

If you thought running was just great for the body, then think again. Scientists have found that the sport not only keeps people fit but also improves your brain power (脑力).
The research found that people who keep fit are more likely to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking. They also found that unfit people tended to have smaller brains and reduced cognitive skills. The findings add to a growing body of evidence which links exercise with helping protect the brain against ageing (老化) and also helping it replace dying cells (死细胞). This might reduce the risk of many illnesses and diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
One research paper within its latest issue sees scientists at Kentucky University putting 30 adults aged 59 — 69 on a treadmill (跑步机). Their heart and lung capacity was measured and an MRI scanner was used to assess the blood flow to their brains. Those who were less fit had smaller brains compared to the fitter volunteers who had larger brains. Scientists in Germany followed 21 adults aged between 60 — 77. As they went through a three-month fitness program, they saw improvements in their memory.
Researchers are not yet sure why exercise helps to protect brain cells but some research in mice has produced results. Mice, examined at the National Institute on Ageing, in Baltimore, found that cells in the hippocampus (海马体), an area of the brain used for memory, were actively reproducing while their fatter peers were in decline.
Linda Clare, professor of clinical psychology of ageing and dementia at Exeter University and a member of the Global Council on Brain Health told The Sunday Times: “Moderate intensity aerobic (有氧的) activity such as walking, cycling or running can produce changes in brain structure and function.”
28. Who tend to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking
A. People who are healthy. B. People who are thin.
C. People who are unhealthy. D. People who are fat.
29. What do we learn from the experiment in paragraph 3
A. Those who were less fit had larger brains.
B. Those who were fitter had smaller brains.
C. Exercise helps people improve their memory.
D. Old people doing exercise improve memory better than young people.
30. Accord to Linda Clare, what kind of activity can NOT produce changes in brain structure and function
A. Walking. B. Singing.
C. Cycling. D. Running.
31. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To tell you sport improves your brain power.
B. To introduce some good ways to keep healthy.
C. To teach you how to best spend time in doing sports.
D. To introduce several ways to improve your memory.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了运动不仅可以让人保持健康，还可以提高人们的脑力。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The research found that people who keep fit are more likely to have larger brains, better memories and clearer thinking.(研究发现，保持健康的人更有可能拥有更大的大脑、更好的记忆力和更清晰的思维)”可知，健康的人可能拥有更大的大脑、更好的记忆力和更清晰的思维。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As they went through a three-month fitness program, they saw improvements in their memory.(当他们进行为期三个月的健身计划时，他们的记忆力有所改善)”可知，从实验中可以得知，锻炼有助于人们提高记忆力。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Moderate intensity aerobic activity such as walking, cycling or running can produce changes in brain structure and function.(中等强度的有氧运动，如步行、骑自行车或跑步，可以改变大脑结构和功能)”可知，步行、骑自行车或跑步可以改变大脑结构和功能，没有提及唱歌。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Scientists have found that the sport not only keeps people fit but also improves your brain power.(科学家已经发现，这项运动不仅能让人保持健康，还能提高你的脑力)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了运动不仅可以让人保持健康，还可以提高人们的脑力，作者写作的目的是告诉你，运动可以提高你的脑力。故选A项。

Rivers are very important. Humans rely on them for food and water. But rivers can destroy things, too. They can flood, or rise over their banks, making the water run into the nearby land. Floods can also kill humans and wildlife. However, floods are not always bad. Some ecosystems need them every once in a while.
Flooding can not only drown animals but also destroy habitats. For example, a flood in India in 2012 killed many one-horned rhinos. Flood waters can pick up dirt from riverbanks, which makes the water dirty. Too much dirt will clog rivers and streams, preventing the river from flowing. Sometimes flood waters can carry pollution to the sea and harm marine (海洋的) life. In addition, flood waters can carry disease, including hepatitis A and cholera.
However, not everything about floods is bad. Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems. Flood waters carry nutrients (营养物) to the nearby land. Over time, the water dries up and leaves behind particles (微粒) of dirt and mud. The particles are called sediment (沉淀物) which can be good due to its ability to improve the dirt and helps plants grow. Floods are important to some animals as well. For instance, some animals see floods as a sign that it is time to mate or migrate. Floods leave sediment on river beds where baby fish can grow and carry nutrients for small animals in the water to eat. Moreover, in dry seasons, water might dry up, but floods help refill the wetlands, keeping the ecosystem going.
Floods are a part of nature. They can destroy living things and the environment. But some ecosystems need floods to survive.
32. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word “clog” in paragraph 2
A. Block. B. Pollute. C. Become. D. Develop.
33. How do floods help ecosystems
A. Tiny fish going with floods feed some animals.
B. Floods make all the animals migrate more easily.
C. Nutrients carried by floods can make soil richer.
D. Floods can clean the dirt and help plants grow.
34. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3
A. The way in which floods feed animals. B. The benefits of floods to ecosystems.
C. An effective means of improving soil. D. The reason for people’s hating floods.
35. What’s the best title of this article
A. The Good Effects of Flooding B. The Secret of Flooding
C. Floods—a Part of Nature D. Floods—Everything Is So Bad
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作为大自然的一部分，洪水对于生态系统既有好处也有坏处。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中“Flood waters can pick up dirt from riverbanks, which makes the water dirty. (洪水会从河岸上带走泥土，使河水变脏。)”、“Too much dirt (太多的泥土)”以及“preventing the river from flowing. (阻止河流流动。)”可知，洪水会沿途吸收泥土，而太多的泥土会堵塞河道，以至于河水流淌出现困难。由此可推测此处的clog的意思应该是“堵塞”。A. Block阻挡；B. Pollute污染；C. Become成为；D. Develop发展。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“However, not everything about floods is bad. Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems. Flood waters carry nutrients to the nearby land. Over time, the water dries up and leaves behind particles of dirt and mud. The particles are called sediment which can be good due to its ability to improve the dirt and helps plants grow. (然而，并非所有关于洪水的事情都是不好的。有时它们会给生态系统带来新的生命。洪水把养分带到附近的土地上。随着时间的推移，水干涸了，留下了灰尘和泥浆颗粒。这些颗粒被称为沉积物，因为它能改善土壤，帮助植物生长，所以是有益的。)”可知，洪水沿途所携带的营养物质可以使土壤更肥沃，从而更好地帮助生态系统。故选C项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段中“However, not everything about floods is bad. Sometimes they bring new life to ecosystems. (然而，并非所有关于洪水的事情都是不好的。有时它们会给生态系统带来新的生命。)”以及“Floods are important to some animals as well. (洪水对一些动物也很重要)”以及“Moreover, in dry seasons, water might dry up, but floods help refill the wetlands, keeping the ecosystem going.(此外，在旱季，水可能会干涸，但洪水有助于补充湿地，保持生态系统的运转)”可知，文章第三段主要讲的是洪水对于生态系统的好处。故选B项。
【35题详解】
标题判断题。通读全文，可以看到文章前两段主要讲洪水对于生态系统的不利的方面，第三段主要讲洪水对于生态系统的益处，文章最后一段“Floods are a part of nature. They can destroy living things and the environment. But some ecosystems need floods to survive. (洪水是自然的一部分。它们会破坏生物和环境。但有些生态系统需要洪水才能生存。)”总结全文，点明主题——洪水是大自然的一部分。所以“洪水是大自然的一部分”作为标题最合适。故选C项。

【答案】Good evening, my dear teachers. I’m Li Hua.
Knowing you’re keen on traditional Chinese culture, I’d like to introduce a traditional Chinese festival to you — the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, so it’s also called the Double Fifth Festival. On that day, we usually eat Zongzi — sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves. As the festival name shows, people hold dragon boat races to celebrate it, especially in the southern places in memory of Qu Yuan, a great poet of ancient China. Therefore, it’s regarded as a day of mourning and cherishing the memory.
Thanks for your listening.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One sunny day, I drove to the airport and was waiting to pick up a friend. That day I had one of those experiences that change people’s lives.
It happened just two feet away from me. I was sitting on a bench and looked around the big waiting hall. Just then I noticed a man, carrying two bags, coming toward me. He stopped next to me. There stood his family, the wife and three lovely kids. He greeted them, with a big smile on his face.
First of all, he laid down his bag and came closer to his younger son (about six years old). They gave each other a warm, loving hug. Then the father looked in his son’s eyes with words, “I missed you so much. It’s so good to see you, son!” The boy smiled and said, “Me too, dad.”
Then the man talked to his older son (nine or ten years old). “Oh, you are quite the young man. I love you very much!” and cupped his face. Then they had the most tender hug too.
Afterwards the father said, “Hi, baby girl” to his baby daughter. She was moving excitedly in her mother’s arm and watching her returning father all the time. The man gently took his little daughter, quickly kissed her face all over and then held her close to his chest. The little girl laid her head on his shoulder in pure contentment.
After several moments, the man put down the baby daughter slowly. He turned to his wife and looked at her gently and said, “I’ve saved the best for last.” He shared with her the most passionate kiss. They stared at each other, having big smiles. They reminded(使想起) me of newlyweds(新婚夫妇).
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, I heard myself asking, “Wow, how long have you been married ”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was shocked, as I imagined that he had been gone for several weeks at least.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly, I heard myself asking, “Wow, how long have you been married ” Curious about the family, I asked directly. Hearing my less impolite question, the man answered kindly, “We have been together for fourteen years, and married twelve years.” “Well then, how long have you been away ” I seemed to feel more curious. He replied with joyous smile on his face, “Two whole days! I feel as if I left for a whole year. I missed them so much.”
I was shocked, as I imagined that he had been gone for several weeks at least. It’s so amazing that the man and his wife have kept the deepest love to each other and passed the love to their children, which is the strongest weapon to any difficulty. The way the man treated his family was very rare around me. I could only say, “I hope that my marriage is still that passionate after twelve years.” The man looked straight into my eyes and told me something that changed my life, “Don’t hope, my friend, decide!”
