If you’re hoping to follow your ears to your next vacation destination, but haven’t yet found a festival that calls your name, we’ve got a list of some of our favorites to help you plan your escape．
Guěa Trumpet Festival
The trumpet is a part of daily life in Serbia—present at births, celebrations, and burials．And the annual event has been going strong for more than 50 years to celebrate the instrument and its cultural significance in this country．
Positiv us Festival
Positivus is the largest music festival in Latvia, attracting big-name stars across all major genres and giving new artists a chance to shine．It’s also one of the most accessible music festivals in the world, even for families with small children．Other pluses Ticket prices are reasonable and the beautiful coastal location means you can swim in the water or hang in the cool shade of the forest on the same day, all while listening to live music．
Alfa Future People
Held in the Russian countryside, six hours east of Moscow by car, Alfa Future People is more than a massive electronic dance music（EDM）festival, with exhibitions on the latest related technology and athletic opportunities like a volleyball tournament and gymnastics classes．

Moments ago, a seal was resting on a piece of floating ice deep in an Antaretic channel．Then three hungry killer whales appeared．When the seal noticed them, it was already surrounded．
On this sheet of sea ice, the nearly thousand-pound seal would be unreachable for most of his enemies in nature．But these killer whales had mastered a hunting technique called wave washing: working together to turn water into a weapon．
Having identified their target, the killer whales formed a battle line and started rushing toward the ice．Just before reaching it, they rolled to their sides in a single, synchronized（同步的）motion．The wave they created was so powerful that it flooded the ice sheet and washed the frightened seal close to the edge of the ice sheet．Slowly and methodically, they repeated the attack．At the third time, the wave sent the helpless seal flying into the sea．It struggled to climb onto a piece of ice, but then disappeared from view．．．
“The level of intelligence that went into making each wave was staggering．They solved the problem with very complex teamwork．They used water as a tool,” said wildlife filmmaker Bertie Gregory, who had spent a decade tracking those killer whales, known as Bls．“I rarely saw failed hunts．This behavior was not what they were born with．It was learned and mastered over decades．Every time they made waves, it almost felt like more of a teaching experience than hunting．It was terrifying to watch．”
But as Antarctica warms and sea ice disappears, seals are increasingly staying on land, out of killer whales’ reach．
“I’ve found Bls are losing about 5 percent of their population every year．Whether this subgroup will go extinct or just adapt their behavior, I don’t know,” said Gregory．“But with fewer opportunities for the killer whales to wave wash, I’m seeing an extinction of a culture．”
24．How did the killer whales get the seal on the ice sheet
A．By making huge waves． B．By jumping onto the ice sheet．
C．By destroying the ice sheet． D．By waiting underwater patiently．
25．Which of the following best explains “staggering” underlined in paragraph 4
A．Puzzling． B．Shocking． C．Satisfying． D．Annoying．
26．What is Bertie Gregory most worried about
A．The seals and killer whales． B．The rising sea level．
C．The loss of a hunting skill． D．The disappeared ice sheet．
27．What can be inferred about the wave washing behavior
A．It is a natural behavior with whales．
B．Usually, the smartest whales can learn it．
C．It can be carried out by one whale alone．
D．Perhaps, it is only mastered by certain groups．
C
In China, tea has become an important part of everyday life for thousands of years．As the tea-processing methods and tea culture have evolved over the years, tea sets have also changed to meet the practical and cultural needs．
During the Tang Dynasty（618~907AD）, tea leaves were traded across the country and Asia．For the convenience of transportation and storage, tea leaves were pressed into bricks．To prepare tea, drinkers had to cut them into small pieces and boil them in heat-resistant teapots．
By the Song Dynasty（960-1279）, drinkers started to turn the hard bricks into powders（粉末）that could be whipped（搅打）in a cup with boiled water．This whipped tea is most commonly associated with Japanese tea ceremonies today．
By the 1500s, tea bricks gave way to the form of rolled leaves．This innovation led to the invention and use of teapots as we know them today．These teapots originally came from the Yi Xing region of China and were soon copied throughout the world．Then Japanese teapot-makers moved the handle from the side to the top of the teapots．
Tea finally reached Europe in the 1600s, along with the necessary tea sets made in Japan and China．As English teapot-makers began to adapt the tea sets to their country men’s tastes, they eventually added a handle to the tea bowl because of the English habit of drinking hot black tea, which was consumed at higher temperatures．The size of teacups also grew to accommodate milk and sugar in their tea．
By the early 1900s, innovations in tea drinking became an American affair．The most revolutionary one was the tea bag, which was accidentally commercialized by Thomas Sullivan．He had been sending customers tea wrapped in silk bags．Rather than take the leaves out of the bags, as Sullivan intended, the customers put the bags into their teapots instead．Not only did the tea bags push the teapot back to the sidelines of tea service, they were also too large for teacups and led to the modern practice of drinking tea from mugs．
28．Which was used to make the whipped tea in Japan
A．Rolled tea leaves． B．Freshly picked tea leaves．
C．Powdered tea leaves． D．Loosely pressed tea leaves．
29．Which innovation was first introduced by the British
A．Tea bags and mugs． B．Tea bowls with handles．
C．Heat-resistant teapots． D．Teapots with top handles．
30．What can we learn from Thomas Sullivan’s story
A．Customers are very creative． B．Innovations are relatively easy．
C．Marketing strategy is critical． D．Good ideas can be born by accident．
31．What is the best title for the text
A．The Development of Tea Sets B．Varieties of Tea Leaves
C．Various Tea-making Methods D．The Spread of Tea Trades
D
In recent years, it seems that we are slowly coming to understand that animals like elephants, monkeys and pigs have not just brains, but complicated inner and social lives thanks to scientific advances in our understanding of animal minds．Yet that awareness hasn’t made itself felt to much greater degree in our closest relationship with animals: at the dinner table．
With Personalities on the Plate, Barbara King asks us to think hard about our meat eating and how we might reduce it．King does not criticize．Instead, she takes us chapter by chapter on a cook’s tour of animals we humans eat, from insects to pigs and dogs, while exploring the latest scientific discoveries about their intelligence and feelings that we humans often wrongly claim uniquely for ourselves．
Built on a mix of firsthand experience and close engagement with the work of scientists, farmers and chefs, Personalities on the Plate has successfully built a case for them as beings that deserve more than a trip down our stomachs．With humor and tales of animals acting as individuals expressing their emotions, Personalities on the Plate takes us on an unforgettable journey through the world of animals we eat．
“This thoughtful book is not about whether we ‘should’ or ‘shouldn’t’ eat meat．Barbara King looks at the range of values and consequences surrounding farming and feasting, and at who we are considering eating,” says Carl Safina, author of Beyond Words: What Animals Think and Feel．“Her book gives me a richer understanding．Her method and passion are effective．I ended the book agreeing that I can—and should—help these creatures and our environment by choosing to eat fewer of them or none at all.”
32．What does the author suggest in the first paragraph
A．Lots of people plan to stop eating meat．
B．Meat consumption should be increased．
C．Scientists should do more to protect animals．
D．Our diet is hardly influenced by our knowledge．
33．What can we know about Personalities on the Plate
A．It openly opposes meat eating． B．It is written by scientists and chefs．
C．It includes humorous and vivid stories． D．It denies animals’ intelligence and feelings．
34．What does Carl Safina say about King’s book
A．Its method is too subjective． B．Its conclusion is convincing．
C．The book is tightly organized． D．The evidences are contradictory．
35．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A．To review a book． B．To recommend an author．
C．To promote a diet． D．To advocate animals’ rights．

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Bathing in the forest can effectively reduce stress, lower blood pressure and strengthen immune system．Here are some tips on how to harvest these health benefits．
36 ．The ideal place for forest bathing is in a big forest, of course．But if you live far away from one or don’t have the means to get there, any place that has a lot of trees and quiet spaces will do．For example, you can get beneficial effects even from walking in a city park．
Set aside enough time．To get the rewards of forest bathing, plan to spend two to six hours in the woods． 37 , you can also do shorter walks．But the health benefits won’t be as significant．Therefore, the longer the time in the forest, the better．
Aim to reduce heart rate．Your forest bathing session is a good time to sit or walk or do some gentle tai chi． 38 ．The difference between exercise and forest bathing is that you’re going to move very slowly．Forest bathing is about calming down your nervous system and reducing your heart rate and blood pressure． 39 , your tiredness will reduce the effect of forest bathing．
Breathe deeply in the forest．This particular breathing exercise benefits on its own outside of the forest environment． 40 ．
A．Sit down and try this exercise
B．If you do too much physical exercise
C．But it’s not the time to do your weekly exercise
D．Find a location where you’re surrounded by a lot of trees
E．You can also get some of the benefits by planting some trees at home
F．If you can’t set aside a good part of your day to wander through the forest
G．But doing it in the forest gives you more health benefits nature has to offer

Back in 2007, Uruguay had a serious problem with no obvious answer: The economy was growing very fast, but there wasn’t enough energy to power the rapid 41 ．
Then Ramón Méndez Galain, a physicist, started 42 different potential paths for Uruguay’s energy future．Finally, he wrote a plan that Uruguay could almost entirely 43 renewable energy．There would be less 44 and it would be the most economical choice Uruguay could make in the long run．
Méndez Galain’s plan was built around two simple 45 about his country．First, while there wasn’t a domestic（国内的）supply of coal or oil, there was a great deal of 46 ．Second, that wind blew over a country that was known for 47 grassland．His plan for Uruguay’s energy future was to 48 the empty grassland into hundreds of wind farms．
To solve the problem of how to pay for all those wind farms, Méndez Galain came up with a variation on a（n） 49 used by some electric plants in neighboring Brazil, in which state-owned power plants handled energy generation, while 50 companies were in charge of power distribution and customer service．Méndez Galain’s plan changed the relationship to the 51 , so that private companies would be in charge of setting up and 52 the wind farms, while the state-owned power companies would distribute that energy to its customers．
The strategy worked 53 well．Just within a few years, Méndez Galain had 54 what he had set out to do: 98% of Uruguay’s 55 comes from renewable sources．
41．A．decline B．growth C．consumption D．program
42．A．building B．blocking C．repairing D．seeking

Katalin Karikó and Drew Weissman, who have been working for decades 56 （find）ways to use genetic（基因的）material called messenger RNA, or mRNA, to make medicines, have won the 2023 Nobel Prize．They have discovered that changing a chemical building block of mRNA can keep the immune system（免疫系统） 57 destroying the material and have enabled it to attack viruses instead．
They published their work in 2005 and their discovery 58 （fundamental）changed our understanding of how mRNA interacts with our immune system．In 59 （add）, the work sped up vaccine development during one of the greatest threats to human health in modern times．
60 （speak）to reporters at Pennsylvania University on Monday, Weissman said they had to overcome many difficulties．“But Karikó lit the match 61 then we spent more than 20 years figuring out how to get it to work,” Weissman said．
Karikó had to overcome even bigger 62 （challenge）．She 63 （force）to resign from Pennsylvania University and went from one low-paying research job to another and even slept in her office at times．But she never gave up．
The first prize in the category was awarded in 1901．Of the 227 people 64 work has been recognized with the prize, Karikó is the 65 （thirteen）woman among them．

“Daddy, I want to ask your permission to study in America,” I said to my father a few months before my graduation from high school．But hardly before I finished, he shouted, “No!”
“But why ” I replied．“If you are worried about money, it will be OK since I have got a scholarship．…”
But he refused to give in．At the moment, I didn’t know what to say．For more than two years, I had been working very hard to pass all the necessary examinations．I had not told my father because I wanted to give him a pleasant surprise．I thought he would be very proud of me because it was many of my classmates’ parents’ dream to send their children to study abroad．
“Why do I have to get your permission I am already 18 and I’m not a kid anymore,” I said angrily and rushed to my bedroom, shutting the door violently．Blinded by anger, I found that I could not stay at my hometown any longer．Late that night, I slipped out of the house and decided to take the bus to the railway station to start my own life as far away from my home as possible．
The bus stop was just two blocks away from my home．When I got there, I found that I forgot to take any money with me and missed the last bus．I did not want to go back home, so I sat down on the bench and closed my eyes to have a break．
Suddenly, I was woken up by my phone．I looked around and found the road was deserted and the street was so quiet that I regretted that I had left home in such a hurry．I picked up the phone and answered the phone even without checking the number．
“Have you had a good sleep It’s going to rain．Shall we go home now ”

“Prom” is not just an American tradition, though most people believe that it started in America．In Canada, the event is called a “formal”．In Britain and Australia, the old-fashioned word “dance” is more and more often being referred to as a “prom”．And for final-school-year students in all these countries, this event is the highlight of the school year, just as it is in the USA．
Most countries have some forms of celebration when students finish high school．After all, it marks the end of life as a child, and the beginning of life as an adult．
“Prom” is expensive to organize and the tickets can cost the students a lot of money．The tradition is that students themselves have to raise the money to pay for it．In some American schools, student unions save for the event for the four years they spend in high school．

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Mike,
I’m Li Hua, a student from High School of Brightness．I have noticed that there is a heated debate about whether students should be forced to stay in the classroom during the ten minute breaks between classes．Fortunately, I have not experienced the same thing in my school, perhaps due to the size and good design of the campus．
My school is relatively big with less than 2．000 students．It has two playgrounds in addition to a basketball court and a football field．Most important of all, our teaching buildings are just three-story high and it is convenient for us get up and down．
I think good design of the campus is very important．Otherwise, it is unlikely for the worried teachers to let students get downstairs．
Best regards!
Yours sincerely．
Li Hua

I grabbed my bag and hurried toward him．On the way home, my father explained apologetically that he was caught off guard by the news and that he was very worried about my safety if I would go so far away alone．“Now I have realized that you have grown up and it is time for you to chase your dream．I will give my permission as long as you promise to live on campus and will not slip away when you are angry in the US,” my father said with resignation．
