Strangest Festivals 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 tourist site, here are some most wonderful and unusual festivals from around the world.
Battle of the Orange, Ivrea, Italy
Each year in February, a battle takes place in this Italian town among thousands of tourists who throw oranges at each other during a 30－minute fight. The aim is to try and knock down other people by attacking them with oranges so that they cannot stand any longer.
Underwater Music Festival, Florida, America
Rather than being held at a typical concert hall, the Underwater Music Festival takes place on the seabed in July. Aiming to protect the sea lives, this unique custom features musicians playing music below water level. 100 feet deep in clear water, talented musicians wear diving equipment, performing free concerts for sea creatures and humans alike.
Rayne Frog (青蛙) Festival, Louisiana, America
The Rayne Frog Festival is held every fall in Rayne, Louisiana. The festival features all things about frogs: frog races, frog jumping, and the selection of the Frog Derby Queen. Besides music performance, it also holds a variety of frog－themed runs, fairs and other activities. If you are into frogs, there’s no other place you’d rather be in mid－November.
Night of the Radishes (萝卜), Oaxaca, Mexico
Night of the Radishes is a celebration that takes place every December 23rd in Oaxaca, Mexico. It features all kinds of radish sculptures (雕塑). The tradition began when local radish growers began carving their produce in order to attract customers. But radishes are just radishes after all, and the sculptures don’t last.
21.What can tourists do at the Italian festival
Throw oranges at each other. Play music below water level.
Watch frog races. Enjoy radish sculptures.
22.Who is most likely to be attracted to Underwater Music Festival
A fruit grower fond of music.
A music lover caring about sea lives.
A sports fan who likes fun games.
An artist gifted in sculptures.
23.Which festival suits a tourist who expects a special Christmas holiday
Battle of the Orange. Underwater Music Festival.
Rayne Frog Festival. Night of the Radishes.

As a Chinese native religion, Taoism has a close relationship with Chinese folk customs. With the development of Taoism, it has become deep－rooted in, and the practices of, the ordinary people. This can be seen both in Taoist religious festivals and sacrifice－offerings.
There are many Taoist festivals, and quite a few of them have evolved into folk festivals. For example, the Double Ninth Festival on September 9 of lunar calendar came from the Taoist festival. It is said that in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25－220), there was a Taoist immortal named Fei Changfang, who was resourceful enough to drive all devils away. At that time, he had a pupil called Huan Jing. One day, Fei Changfang foresaw a disaster on September 9 in Huan Jing’s family, and told Huan Jing to fasten a bundle of dogwood onto his arm, and drink chrysanthemum wine in an elevated place so as to prevent the disaster. Having done what he had been told, Huan Jing’s family was indeed safe and sound. Along with the spreading of Taoism, this legend has evolved into the Double Ninth Festival. When the day comes, people will carry dogwood and drink chrysanthemum wine in elevated places.
Many immortals in Taoism came into being on the basis of earthy folk gods, and thus the Taoist god－worshiping system has much in common with the earthy folk god－worshiping. On the one hand, a number of earthy folk gods such as Caishen(mammon), Chenghuangshen(city god), Dongyuedadi(god of East Mountain) and Guanshengdi(god of Saint Guan) have become part of the pedigree of folk gods; on the other hand, Taoist immortals such as Laojun(Holy Lord), Yuhuangdadi(Jade Emperor) and Baxian(eight immortals) have become widespread and part of people’s life.
Moreover, some Taoist taboo tricks have an extensive influence on the folk society, especially in the countryside; or rather, they have constituted a necessary part of folk customs. The combination of Taoism and Chinese folk customs is in various aspects, but it is mainly embodied in celebrations of festivals and seasonal changes and spirit worshiping.

So far this winter, a theater in the Alps has staged more than 60 unique concerts. Winter temperatures in the remote mountain village can drop high below zero. Performers wear down jackets and play ice instruments. In fact, almost everything from drums and guitars to horns and harps at the music festival is carved from ice even the stage the musicians play on. The audience sits on ice chairs and benches and claps their hands to listen, both to praise the performers and to keep themselves warm when the air flows through.
The musical instruments used were almost entirely made by an American ice artist, Tim Linhart. Since he created his first musical instrument out of ice more than a decade ago, he has already carved various ice instruments, including violins, violas, timber drum sets, xylophone, double bass, mandolin and cello. He also created his own large wind instrument, which uses the vibration of an ice tube to produce sound when the air flows through.
Linhart makes the different parts of the ice instrument and then uses a liquid mixed with snow to glue them together, with a metal support placed where the strings need to be. A violin can usually be made in two or three weeks, while larger instruments can take more time and efforts, sometimes taking months to make.
An ice instrument has a clearer sound than a wooden instrument. However, ice instruments are more easily broken or damaged than ordinary instruments. The temperature in the ice theater changes depending on the number of people in the audience. This also changes the temperature of the ice instruments, which in turn affects the sound they produce. Musicians need to tune their instruments frequently during performances.
Although playing an ice instrument is not easy, Linhart believes that ice and snow are good materials for making instruments. The only downside is melting when the temperature is above freezing.
28.What is special about the music festival
It attracts only the locals. It usually lasts two months.
It has to be held in the cold. Its audience have to dress up.
29.What does the underlined word “vibration” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
Temperature. Shaking.
Length. Opening.
30.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about ice instruments
Strengths and weaknesses. Production methods.
Specific materials. Different varieties.
31.What is the purpose of the text
To promote an idea. To explain a theory.
To share an event. To introduce a finding.

From AI－made jokes to Harry Potter fashion videos, AI can be used to make funny stuff. But can it be as funny as a human And if it can, does it present a danger to comedy writers in the future That’s something performers have been looking at in this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, running from Aug. 4 to Aug. 28.
Anyone can put on a show at the Fringe, and this year even robots were getting in on the act. One of Fringe’s big shows used a small robot to come up with jokes from audiences’ suggestions, which were then performed by humans. The results could be very funny, but sometimes they weren’t funny at all. That was part of the point, explained Piotr Mirowski, the show’s co－maker. “We do not use humans to ‘show off’ AI; instead, we use AI ‘to show’ its limitations, to showcase human creativity on the stage，” said Mirowski, according to The Guardian.
Comedian Pierre Novellie said that it will take a long time for AI to get good at creating comedy. “Comedy is the last thing that AI is going to get near，” Pierre told Sky News. “Even normal human comedians struggle to ‘tune’ their jokes ‘for’ the right crowd at the right time, every time. But that’s what’s interesting about stand－up (独角喜剧) and fun.”
But Peter Bazely, a performer at the Fringe, said he’s using AI to make jokes for him because he’s out of ideas. One of Bazely’s shows had him playing a supporting role to “an entirely computer－generated comedian” called AI Jesus.
The Fringe review website, Chortle, talked about today’s AI concerns: “In a world where artists are worried that AI could end up doing their jobs for them, Bazely is said to be praying this one will do exactly that.”
The reasons for companies wanting to use AI are certainly understandable, but the dangers they present to many people’s jobs are becoming more and more real, and that’s not very funny. In May, leaders in the AI industry signed a document warning that AI could present an extinction－level danger and “should be a global priority”.
32.What does the underlined “That” in paragraph 2 refer to
Performing jokes made by robots.
Robots’ jokes are very popular.
Robots’ jokes sometimes are not fun.
Using humans to show off AI.
33.What do Novellie’s words imply
AI limits the creativity of humans.
It is not easy for AI to replace comedians.
AI responds well to audiences’ suggestions.
The audience of comedy is hard to appeal to.
34.Why does Peter Bazely welcome AI
He has got difficulty in making comedies.
He doesn’t want to play supporting roles any more.
He believes AI Jesus won’t replace human comedians.
He thinks jokes made by AI can make his shows popular.
35.What’s the author’s purpose of writing this article
To promote the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
To display the joys and sorrows of comedians.
To warn the public of the existing danger of AI.
To raise public concern for the possible threat of AI.

　　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 tourist site, here are some most wonderful and unusual festivals from around the world.
Battle of the Orange, Ivrea, Italy
　　Each year in February, a battle takes place in this Italian town among thousands of tourists who throw oranges at each other during a 30－minute fight. The aim is to try and knock down other people by attacking them with oranges so that they cannot stand any longer.
Underwater Music Festival, Florida, America
　　Rather than being held at a typical concert hall, the Underwater Music Festival takes place on the seabed in July. Aiming to protect the sea lives, this unique custom features musicians playing music below water level. 100 feet deep in clear water, talented musicians wear diving equipment, performing free concerts for sea creatures and humans alike.
Rayne Frog (青蛙) Festival, Louisiana, America
　　The Rayne Frog Festival is held every fall in Rayne, Louisiana. The festival features all things about frogs: frog races, frog jumping, and the selection of the Frog Derby Queen. Besides music performance, it also holds a variety of frog－themed runs, fairs and other activities. If you are into frogs, there’s no other place you’d rather be in mid－November.
Night of the Radishes (萝卜), Oaxaca, Mexico
　　Night of the Radishes is a celebration that takes place every December 23rd in Oaxaca, Mexico. It features all kinds of radish sculptures (雕塑). The tradition began when local radish growers began carving their produce in order to attract customers. But radishes are just radishes after all, and the sculptures don’t last.

　　As a Chinese native religion, Taoism has a close relationship with Chinese folk customs. With the development of Taoism, it has become deep－rooted in, and the practices of, the ordinary people. This can be seen both in Taoist religious festivals and sacrifice－offerings.
　　There are many Taoist festivals, and quite a few of them have evolved into folk festivals. For example, the Double Ninth Festival on September 9 of lunar calendar came from the Taoist festival. It is said that in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25－220), there was a Taoist immortal named Fei Changfang, who was resourceful enough to drive all devils away. At that time, he had a pupil called Huan Jing. One day, Fei Changfang foresaw a disaster on September 9 in Huan Jing’s family, and told Huan Jing to fasten a bundle of dogwood onto his arm, and drink chrysanthemum wine in an elevated place so as to prevent the disaster. Having done what he had been told, Huan Jing’s family was indeed safe and sound. Along with the spreading of Taoism, this legend has evolved into the Double Ninth Festival. When the day comes, people will carry dogwood and drink chrysanthemum wine in elevated places.
　　Many immortals in Taoism came into being on the basis of earthy folk gods, and thus the Taoist god－worshiping system has much in common with the earthy folk god－worshiping. On the one hand, a number of earthy folk gods such as Caishen(mammon), Chenghuangshen(city god), Dongyuedadi(god of East Mountain) and Guanshengdi(god of Saint Guan) have become part of the pedigree of folk gods; on the other hand, Taoist immortals such as Laojun(Holy Lord), Yuhuangdadi(Jade Emperor) and Baxian(eight immortals) have become widespread and part of people’s life.
　　Moreover, some Taoist taboo tricks have an extensive influence on the folk society, especially in the countryside; or rather, they have constituted a necessary part of folk customs. The combination of Taoism and Chinese folk customs is in various aspects, but it is mainly embodied in celebrations of festivals and seasonal changes and spirit worshiping.

　　So far this winter, a theater in the Alps has staged more than 60 unique concerts. Winter temperatures in the remote mountain village can drop high below zero. Performers wear down jackets and play ice instruments. In fact, almost everything from drums and guitars to horns and harps at the music festival is carved from ice even the stage the musicians play on. The audience sits on ice chairs and benches and claps their hands to listen, both to praise the performers and to keep themselves warm when the air flows through.
　　The musical instruments used were almost entirely made by an American ice artist, Tim Linhart. Since he created his first musical instrument out of ice more than a decade ago, he has already carved various ice instruments, including violins, violas, timber drum sets, xylophone, double bass, mandolin and cello. He also created his own large wind instrument, which uses the vibration of an ice tube to produce sound when the air flows through.
　　Linhart makes the different parts of the ice instrument and then uses a liquid mixed with snow to glue them together, with a metal support placed where the strings need to be. A violin can usually be made in two or three weeks, while larger instruments can take more time and efforts, sometimes taking months to make.
　　An ice instrument has a clearer sound than a wooden instrument. However, ice instruments are more easily broken or damaged than ordinary instruments. The temperature in the ice theater changes depending on the number of people in the audience. This also changes the temperature of the ice instruments, which in turn affects the sound they produce. Musicians need to tune their instruments frequently during performances.
　　Although playing an ice instrument is not easy, Linhart believes that ice and snow are good materials for making instruments. The only downside is melting when the temperature is above freezing.
【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了在阿尔卑斯山举行的特别音乐节，表演者穿着羽绒服，演奏冰上乐器。事实上，音乐节上几乎所有的东西，从鼓、吉他到喇叭和竖琴，甚至音乐家们演奏的舞台，都是用冰雕刻而成的。
28.What is special about the music festival

B.It usually lasts two months.

29.What does the underlined word “vibration” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A.Temperature. B.Shaking.
C.Length. D.Opening.
答案　B　[词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“He also created his own large wind instrument...when the air flows through.”可知，which引导的非限制性定语从句修饰先行词wind instrument，结合常识，乐器发声需要利用冰管的振动在空气流过时发出声音。故画线词的意思是“震动”。]
30.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about ice instruments
A.Strengths and weaknesses.
B.Production methods.
C.Specific materials.
D.Different varieties.
答案　A　[段落大意题。根据第四段可知，本段主要讲述了冰乐器的优点和缺点。比如冰制乐器比木制乐器声音更清晰，但比普通乐器更容易损坏，而且音乐家在演出时需要经常调音。]
31.What is the purpose of the text
A.To promote an idea.
B.To explain a theory.
C.To share an event.
D.To introduce a finding.
答案　C　[写作意图题。根据第一段并结合文章主要介绍了在阿尔卑斯山举行的特别音乐节，表演者穿着羽绒服，演奏冰上乐器，音乐节上几乎所有的东西，从鼓、吉他到喇叭和竖琴，甚至音乐家们演奏的舞台，都是用冰雕刻而成的，可推知，文章的目的是分享一个活动。]

　　From AI－made jokes to Harry Potter fashion videos, AI can be used to make funny stuff. But can it be as funny as a human And if it can, does it present a danger to comedy writers in the future That’s something performers have been looking at in this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, running from Aug. 4 to Aug. 28.
　　Anyone can put on a show at the Fringe, and this year even robots were getting in on the act. One of Fringe’s big shows used a small robot to come up with jokes from audiences’ suggestions, which were then performed by humans. The results could be very funny, but sometimes they weren’t funny at all. That was part of the point, explained Piotr Mirowski, the show’s co－maker. “We do not use humans to ‘show off’ AI; instead, we use AI ‘to show’ its limitations, to showcase human creativity on the stage，” said Mirowski, according to The Guardian.
　　Comedian Pierre Novellie said that it will take a long time for AI to get good at creating comedy. “Comedy is the last thing that AI is going to get near，” Pierre told Sky News. “Even normal human comedians struggle to ‘tune’ their jokes ‘for’ the right crowd at the right time, every time. But that’s what’s interesting about stand－up (独角喜剧) and fun.”
　　But Peter Bazely, a performer at the Fringe, said he’s using AI to make jokes for him because he’s out of ideas. One of Bazely’s shows had him playing a supporting role to “an entirely computer－generated comedian” called AI Jesus.
　　The Fringe review website, Chortle, talked about today’s AI concerns: “In a world where artists are worried that AI could end up doing their jobs for them, Bazely is said to be praying this one will do exactly that.”
　　The reasons for companies wanting to use AI are certainly understandable, but the dangers they present to many people’s jobs are becoming more and more real, and that’s not very funny. In May, leaders in the AI industry signed a document warning that AI could present an extinction－level danger and “should be a global priority”.
【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。文章以爱丁堡艺穗节引入人工智能为切入点，通过演员和主办者对人工智能的不同反应，引出大众以及专家对人工智能潜在威胁的担忧，从而引发公众对人工智能应用的关切。
32.What does the underlined “That” in paragraph 2 refer to
A.Performing jokes made by robots.
B.Robots’ jokes are very popular.
C.Robots’ jokes sometimes are not fun.
D.Using humans to show off AI.
答案　C　[代词指代题。“That was part of the point”这句话的意思是“那正是部分目的”。在行文中，that一般代指其上文所说的事物或事情。结合上文“One of Fringe’s big shows used...weren’t funny at all.”可知，机器人的笑话有时并不好笑，这也是该节目的目的之一。由此可知，that指代“机器人的笑话有时不好笑”。]
33.What do Novellie’s words imply
A.AI limits the creativity of humans.
B.It is not easy for AI to replace comedians.
C.AI responds well to audiences’ suggestions.
D.The audience of comedy is hard to appeal to.
答案　B　[推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Comedian Pierre Novellie said...that AI is going to get near，’...”可知，他认为人工智能取代喜剧演员不是一件容易的事。]
34.Why does Peter Bazely welcome AI
A.He has got difficulty in making comedies.
B.He doesn’t want to play supporting roles any more.
C.He believes AI Jesus won’t replace human comedians.
D.He thinks jokes made by AI can make his shows popular.
答案　A　[细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But Peter Bazely, a performer...he’s out of ideas.”可知，Peter Bazely使用人工智能是因为他自己目前创作不出什么笑话或喜剧。]
35.What’s the author’s purpose of writing this article
A.To promote the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
B.To display the joys and sorrows of comedians.
C.To warn the public of the existing danger of AI.
D.To raise public concern for the possible threat of AI.
答案　D　[写作意图题。本文从爱丁堡艺穗节引入人工智能这件事切入，通过展示艺穗节参与者对人工智能进入喜剧行业的不同反应引出最后一段，呼吁人们关注人工智能介入相关行业这件事及其潜在威胁。结合最后一段可知，写作目的是为了唤起公众对人工智能可能带来的威胁的关注。]

　　“This afternoon I sneaked (溜) out for a ride on your motorcycle and accidentally hit our neighbor Osman Brook’s car.I was so scared and I...I hurried home in panic.”
　　“Is the car seriously damaged？”
　　“The left headlight got broken.”
　　“It’s truly your fault and it’s really dangerous to ride a motorcycle at your age.Besides, it’s illegal，” Adam raised his voice, obviously annoyed.Hearing this, Bill lowered his head and bit his lips hard.
　　“Anyway, it’s no use crying over spilt milk.I will deal with it tomorrow.Now you go to bed and have a good sleep.”
　　The next morning when Adam got up, Bill was still sleeping soundly.Adam was more determined about what he ought to do as an elder brother.
　　After breakfast, Adam took out all the money he had earned and went out of the house with it.In the yard he saw his motorcycle, on whose side the scratches (划痕) were clearly visible.Adam shook his head and sighed slightly.Then he squared his shoulders and quickened his pace to Osman’s house.
　　When he arrived, he was welcomed by Osman’s wife Mary, who told him that Osman had gone to the garage to have his car repaired.
　　“I have something important to tell him.Can I wait until he comes back？” Adam requested eagerly.
　　“Of course.He should be home soon，” Mary invited Adam in, served him a cup of coffee and began chatting with him.
