The list of music festivals seems to double each year, so we think we’d save you some time by presenting our picks that reflect a deep sense of place.
New Orleans Jazz Festival
This week-long festival was established in New Orleans, America in 1970 to celebrate the city’s status as the birthplace of jazz. Headliners that attended the first celebration included singer Mahalia Jackson and pianist Duke Ellington. Over the years, this festival has grown to showcase much more than jazz. Attendees have long enjoyed the latest hit-makers alongside booths and exhibits featuring Louisiana’s native cuisine, arts, and crafts.
Newport Folk Festival
Founded by George Wein in 1959 and best known for introducing the world to the likes of Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, Newport Folk Festival is one of the oldest music festivals in America. Like New Orleans Jazz Festival, this Rhode Island event gives a false impression about the types of music one can expect to find, although it has been remaining true to its roots.
Interceltic Festival
When most people hear the word “Celtic”, they think of Ireland. But this festival takes place each summer in the heart of the seaport town of Lorient in northwestern France. While emphasizing music and dance, the ten-day festival also provides a platform for colorful expressions of Celtic art, food and drink, theater, literature, and sports.
Roskilde Music Festival
England’s Glastonbury, Hungary’s Sziget, and Denmark’s Roskilde are Europe’s three biggest music festivals. Roskilde stands out not only for its impressive and eclectic music, but for its nonprofit approach. All concert incomes are donated to support charities, music and cultural programs since its founding in 1971. With lake swimming, an on-site skate park, and an annual “naked run”, the event has earned a name for being a week-long summer camp for adults.
1. Which festival is held in Louisiana
A. Interceltic Festival. B. Roskilde Music Festival.
C. Newport Folk Festival. D. New Orleans Jazz Festival.
2. Who started Newport Folk Festival
A. Joan Baez. B. Bob Dylan. C. George Wein. D. Mahalia Jackson.
3. What do the last two festivals have in common
A. They include some sports. B. They emphasize one type of music.
C. They donate all their profits. D. They last for the same period of time.
B
Ke’Nyzjah Ferebee was standing by the kitchen worktop, adding cupcake liners to a pan. She used an ice cream spoon to fill each with cake batter (面糊) to ensure they would look identical. A finished group sat on the counter with white buttercream turning on top. The cupcakes were for a 2-year-old’s “Moana”-themed birthday party. The next day, she had orders for a two-tiered cake and two birthday cakes.
While most teenagers are spending the summer hanging out with friends and working, Ke’Nyzjah is filling orders, updating her website and getting new branding photos. She owns and operates KayKe Bakery, a home-based business, specializing in custom cakes and cupcakes. She offers 14 flavors. She requires at least two to four weeks’ notice on orders, and she gets six to seven a week.
In 2020 she started baking out of boredom and a desire for cake. She asked her mom for a solution. Mom pointed her to a box of cake mix in the cupboard. Ke’Nyzjah’s first attempt failed. But she tried making more cakes the next day. She got better.
She watched hours of YouTube videos to come up with a recipe and to teach herself baking techniques. “Once I got on Instagram and started seeing other people’s decorated cakes, that’s when I got inspired to be a cake artist instead of just a baker,” she said. She took business classes such as digital marketing at her school. She also registered for a course to become a certified customer service specialist. It taught her how to talk to customers and get through a sale. She’s constantly trying to find more ways to promote her business and find new clients. “It’s a little difficult having to keep up with both my Instagram and my Facebook pages and managing school, personal life and a business. It can be a lot sometimes, but I manage.”
Nakesia Fercbec, Ke’Nyzjah’s mother, felt her daughter’s father has been influential. Ke’Nyzjah gives her mother a large of the credit. “She’s like my biggest supporter. She’s made me who I am. I’ve come to realize that I am an incredible person.”
4. What was Ke’Nyzjah doing according to the first paragraph
A. Designing a themed party. B. Making cakes for business.
C. Preparing for her birthday party. D. Placing an order for cakes online.
5. What can be inferred about Kayke Bakery
A. It is well received. B. It hosts parties for customers.
C. It is a joint business. D. It mainly provides service for kids
6. What might be a challenge for Ke’Nyzjah
A. Attending business classes. B. Teaching herself baking techniques.
C. Getting along with her clients. D. Balancing her business with schooling.
7. What is the text mainly about
A. A home-based teen baker. B. A boredom-killing bakery.
C. How to become a cake artist. D. How to start a business.
C
I used to tell my children that they were smart, because I was impressed by their rapid growth. I remember clearly watching my daughter figure out how to build a Lego house that would stand up on its own, and thinking: Look at this tiny architectural genius.
But decades of research now suggest that we should not tell our children they’re “smart” when they do impressive things. When I first heard it, I felt instinctively irritated. But after I dug into the research, I was persuaded. It all goes back to something called “growth” mindset, a term developed and popularized by Carol Dweck, a professor of psychology at Stanford. Professor Dweck believes that we can change our abilities through effort and strategy. The alternative to a growth mindset is a “fixed” mindset — the idea that our abilities are inborn and can’t be changed. When we praise our children for being “smart”, based on victories like doing well on a test, we’re unwittingly (不知不觉地) encouraging them to believe that if they do poorly or make mistakes, they’re not smart.
It’s not just what we say that matters, but how we tolerate our children’s failures. A 2016 study by Dweck showed that parents’ “failure mindsets” affect their children more than their views on intelligence. In other words, if parents think that failure is shameful, their children are more likely to be afraid of making mistakes. The study concludes that everyone is actually a mixture of fixed and growth mindsets, continually evolving with experience. Whatever we say or don’t say to our kids, the key is to get them more comfortable with failures big or small.
It’s helpful for kids to understand that you make mistakes and learn how they happen. When you chat with them, you can describe what you learned, or how you strategized a solution. “You don’t have to deny you have negative emotional reactions,” Dweck said. “We, as a society, don’t do that enough because we feel embarrassed when we make mistakes.” But if we discuss our missteps more and explain how we overcame them, our children can learn to do the same.
8. How did the author feel about the research advice at first
A. It was confusing. B. It was annoying.
C. It was persuasive. D. It was encouraging.
9. What do the children with a growth mindset tend to believe
A. Smartness is the key to success.
B. Difficulties in daily life teach them a lot.
C. Their abilities can be improved through hard work.
D. They are impressive due to their good grades on tests.
10. What does Dweck suggest parents do
A. Help children face failures positively.
B. Hide their negative feelings from children.
C. Remind children to avoid making mistakes.
D. Pay attention to developing children’s intelligence.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Ways to Cultivate Smart Children
B. The Effect of a Fixed Mindset on Children
C. The Power of Proper Praise for Children’s Growth
D The Importance of a Growth Mindset in Parenting
D
In a groundbreaking achievement, a rhino has successfully undergone embryo (胚胎) transfer, marking the first successful use of a method that holds promise for saving the nearly extinct northern white rhino subspecies.
The experiment, conducted with the less endangered southern white rhino subspecies, involved creating an embryo in a lab using eggs and sperm (精子) collected from other rhinos. This embryo was then transferred into a southern white rhino alternative mother in Kenya. Despite the unfortunate death of the alternative mother due to an infection in November 2023, researchers praised the successful embryo transfer and pregnancy (怀孕) as a proof of concept. They are now ready to proceed to the next stage of the project: transferring northern white rhinoembryos.
Professor Thomas Hildebrandt expressed optimism about the findings, highlighting the significance of the successful embryo transfer in demonstrating that frozen and defrosted embryos produced in a lab can survive. This development offers hope for the revival of the northern white rhino population.
However, challenges facing rhino conservation remain significant. While the southern white rhino subspecies and the black rhino species have shown signs of recovery from population declines due to illegal hunting for their horns (牛角), the northern white rhino subspecies is on the edge of extinction. With only two known members left in the world, Najin and her daughter Fatu, both unable to reproduce naturally, and the recent death of the last male white rhino, Sudan, in 2018, urgent action is needed to prevent the extinction of this subspecies. Dr. Jo Shaw, CEO of Save the Rhino International, emphasized the importance of addressing the primary threats facing rhinos worldwide: illegal hunting for their horns and habitat loss due to development. She stressed the need to provide rhinos with the space and security they need to succeed in their natural environment.
While the successful embryo transfer representsa significant advancement in rhino conservation efforts, organized action is required to address the main challenges facing rhino populations worldwide.
12. What is the purpose of the experiment mentioned in the text
A. To evaluate the efficiency of a new rhino birth program.
B. To observe the behavior of rhinos in a controlled environment.
C. To assess the effects of climate change on the southem rhino habitats.
D. To develop a way of rescuing the endangered northern white rhinos subspecies.
13. Which word can replace the underlined word “revival” in paragraph 3
A. Rebirth. B. Decline. C. Stability. D. Decrease.
14. What is the current condition of the northern white rhino subspecies
A Facing extinction. B. Showing signs of recovery.
C. Developing in their natural habitat. D. Recovering from population declines
15. What might be the best title of this text
A. Dr. Jo Shaw’s Call to Action: Addressing Threats to Rhino Survival
B. Challenges Facing Rhino Conservation Efforts: Urgent Action Needed
C The Successful Embryo Transfer: A Breakthrough in Rhino Conservation
D. Professor Thomas Hildebrandt’s Optimism: Hope for Rhino Population Revival

“I challenge you to a hundred-meter race,” my opponent, Julius, declared. He had beaten me countless times during practice, but I wanted to prove him wrong for a change. “That’ll wipe the smile off his face!” I thought, even as fear started to pour in my stomach. He was well-known around the school for being the fastest runner on the track-and-field team, while I tailed behind in second place- a respectable position, but not yet good enough to surpass (超过) him. Nevertheless, I shook his hand and said, “Challenge accepted!” However, negative thoughts flooded my mind. Would I be able to win After all, Julius’ speed of light would guarantee a sure win!
Soon, all my friends and the teachers had gathered around to watch the challenge. “Oh no, I will lose and be embarrassed in front of the whole school!” I spoke in a low voice. Nevertheless, I turned my worried expression into a determined smile. To keep myself from sinking into self-doubt, I did some stretches and jumping jacks to warm up my body.
Finally, the crucial moment arrived. The referee(裁判)fired the starting gun and we took off like a shot. Adrenaline(肾上腺素) rocketed through my body as I launched myself forward. True to my expectations, Julius caught up with me easily and was in the lead! “No way will I lose! Victory, here I come!” I motivated myself as anger coursed through my body. As the race progressed, my eyes locked onto Julius, his athletic form effortlessly moving ahead. His quick steps and strong focus showcased his impressive skills. Yet, I refused to let doubt consume me. A fierce fire burnt within, fueled by a mix of unwillingness to admit defeat and anger. How dare he assume he was unbeatable With every step, my determination solidified(变坚定), and my resolve to surpass him strengthened.

Ke’Nyzjah Ferebee was standing by the kitchen worktop, adding cupcake liners to a pan. She used an ice cream spoon to fill each with cake batter (面糊) to ensure they would look identical. A finished group sat on the counter with white buttercream turning on top. The cupcakes were for a 2-year-old’s “Moana”-themed birthday party. The next day, she had orders for a two-tiered cake and two birthday cakes.
While most teenagers are spending the summer hanging out with friends and working, Ke’Nyzjah is filling orders, updating her website and getting new branding photos. She owns and operates KayKe Bakery, a home-based business, specializing in custom cakes and cupcakes. She offers 14 flavors. She requires at least two to four weeks’ notice on orders, and she gets six to seven a week.
In 2020, she started baking out of boredom and a desire for cake. She asked her mom for a solution. Mom pointed her to a box of cake mix in the cupboard. Ke’Nyzjah’s first attempt failed. But she tried making more cakes the next day. She got better.
She watched hours of YouTube videos to come up with a recipe and to teach herself baking techniques. “Once I got on Instagram and started seeing other people’s decorated cakes, that’s when I got inspired to be a cake artist instead of just a baker,” she said. She took business classes such as digital marketing at her school. She also registered for a course to become a certified customer service specialist. It taught her how to talk to customers and get through a sale. She’s constantly trying to find more ways to promote her business and find new clients. “It’s a little difficult having to keep up with both my Instagram and my Facebook pages and managing school, personal life and a business. It can be a lot sometimes, but I manage.”
Nakesia Fercbec, Ke’Nyzjah’s mother, felt her daughter’s father has been influential. Ke’Nyzjah gives her mother a large of the credit. “She’s like my biggest supporter. She’s made me who I am. I’ve come to realize that I am an incredible person.”
4. What was Ke’Nyzjah doing according to the first paragraph
A. Designing a themed party. B. Making cakes for business.
C. Preparing for her birthday party. D. Placing an order for cakes online.
5. What can be inferred about Kayke Bakery
A. It is well received. B. It hosts parties for customers.
C. It is a joint business. D. It mainly provides service for kids
6. What might be a challenge for Ke’Nyzjah

I used to tell my children that they were smart, because I was impressed by their rapid growth. I remember clearly watching my daughter figure out how to build a Lego house that would stand up on its own, and thinking: Look at this tiny architectural genius.
But decades of research now suggest that we should not tell our children they’re “smart” when they do impressive things. When I first heard it, I felt instinctively irritated. But after I dug into the research, I was persuaded. It all goes back to something called “growth” mindset, a term developed and popularized by Carol Dweck, a professor of psychology at Stanford. Professor Dweck believes that we can change our abilities through effort and strategy. The alternative to a growth mindset is a “fixed” mindset — the idea that our abilities are inborn and can’t be changed. When we praise our children for being “smart”, based on victories like doing well on a test, we’re unwittingly (不知不觉地) encouraging them to believe that if they do poorly or make mistakes, they’re not smart.
It’s not just what we say that matters, but how we tolerate our children’s failures. A 2016 study by Dweck showed that parents’ “failure mindsets” affect their children more than their views on intelligence. In other words, if parents think that failure is shameful, their children are more likely to be afraid of making mistakes. The study concludes that everyone is actually a mixture of fixed and growth mindsets, continually evolving with experience. Whatever we say or don’t say to our kids, the key is to get them more comfortable with failures big or small.
It’s helpful for kids to understand that you make mistakes and learn how they happen. When you chat with them, you can describe what you learned, or how you strategized a solution. “You don’t have to deny you have negative emotional reactions,” Dweck said. “We, as a society, don’t do that enough because we feel embarrassed when we make mistakes.” But if we discuss our missteps more and explain how we overcame them, our children can learn to do the same.
8. How did the author feel about the research advice at first
A. It was confusing. B. It was annoying.
C. It was persuasive. D. It was encouraging.
9. What do the children with a growth mindset tend to believe
A. Smartness is the key to success.
B. Difficulties in daily life teach them a lot.
C. Their abilities can be improved through hard work.
D. They are impressive due to their good grades on tests.
10. What does Dweck suggest parents do
A. Help children face failures positively.
B. Hide their negative feelings from children.
C. Remind children to avoid making mistakes.
D. Pay attention to developing children’s intelligence.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Ways to Cultivate Smart Children
B. The Effect of a Fixed Mindset on Children
C. The Power of Proper Praise for Children’s Growth
D. The Importance of a Growth Mindset in Parenting
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“成长心态”，以及每个人实际上都是固定心态和成长型心态的混合体，并随着经验不断进化；我们要让孩子更适应或大或小的失败。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But decades of research now suggest that we should not tell our children they’re “smart” when they do impressive things. When I first heard it, I felt instinctively irritated.(但几十年的研究表明，当我们的孩子做了令人印象深刻的事情时，我们不应该说他们“聪明”。当我第一次听到它时，我本能地感到恼火)”可知，作者在第一次听到研究的建议时，第一反应是恼怒的。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“It all goes back to something called ‘growth’ mindset, a term developed and popularized by Carol Dweck, a professor of psychology at Stanford. Professor Dweck believes that we can change our abilities through effort and strategy.(这一切都要追溯到所谓的‘成长’心态，这个术语是由斯坦福大学心理学教授Carol Dweck提出并推广的。Dweck教授认为，我们可以通过努力和策略来改变自己的能力)”可知，斯坦福大学心理学教授Carol Dweck 提出了“成长型”心态的概念，他认为我们可以通过努力和策略来改变自己的能力。由此可知，拥有“成长型”心态的孩子倾向于相信他们的能力可以通过努力得到提升。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“A 2016 study by Dweck showed that parents’ ‘failure mind-sets’ affect their children more than their views on intelligence. In other words, if parents think that failure is shameful, their children are more likely to be afraid of making mistakes.(Dweck 2016年的一项研究表明，父母的‘失败心态’比他们对智力的看法对孩子的影响更大。换句话说，如果父母认为失败是可耻的，他们的孩子就更有可能害怕犯错)”和“Whatever we say or don’t say to our kids, the key is to get them more comfortable with failures big or small.(无论我们对孩子说什么或不说什么，关键是让他们更适应或大或小的失败)”以及最后一段中“It’s helpful for kids to understand that you make mistakes and learn how they happen. When you chat with them, you can describe what you learned, or how you strategized a solution.(这对孩子们理解你犯错误并了解它们是如何发生的很有帮助。当你和他们聊天时，你可以描述你学到了什么，或者你是如何制定解决方案的)”和“But if we discuss our missteps more and explain how we overcame them, our children can learn to do the same.(但是，如果我们更多地讨论我们的错误，并解释我们是如何克服它们的，我们的孩子就能学会做同样的事情)”可知，父母的“失败心态”对孩子的影响很大，如果父母认为失败是可耻的，他们的孩子就更有可能害怕犯错，关键是让他们适应那些或大或小的失败，让孩子们知道错误是怎么产生的，当你和他们聊天时，你可以描述你学到了什么， 或者你是如何制定解决方案的，如果我们能更多地讨论我们的错误， 并解释我们是如何克服它们的，我们的孩子就能学会做同样的事情。由此可推知，Dweck建议家长要帮助孩子积极地面对失败。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容，结合第二段中的“It all goes back to something called ‘growth’ mindset, a term developed and popularized by Carol Dweck, a professor of psychology at Stanford.(这一切都要追溯到所谓的‘成长’心态，这个术语是由斯坦福大学心理学教授Carol Dweck提出并推广的)”可知，文章主要介绍了父母称赞孩子聪明可能会让孩子形成“固定型”心态，相信能力是天生的，不能改变。心理学家 Dweck 提出了“成长型”心态的理论，认为我们可以通过努力和策略来改变自己的能力，并强调了家长要引导孩子正确对待错误和失败，鼓励他们接受失败并从中学习。D项意为“成长型心态在养育子女中的重要性”，能够概括此内容。故选D。
D
In a groundbreaking achievement, a rhino has successfully undergone embryo (胚胎) transfer, marking the first successful use of a method that holds promise for saving the nearly extinct northern white rhino subspecies.
The experiment, conducted with the less endangered southern white rhino subspecies, involved creating an embryo in a lab using eggs and sperm (精子) collected from other rhinos. This embryo was then transferred into a southern white rhino alternative mother in Kenya. Despite the unfortunate death of the alternative mother due to an infection in November 2023, researchers praised the successful embryo transfer and pregnancy (怀孕) as a proof of concept. They are now ready to proceed to the next stage of the project: transferring northern white rhinoembryos.
Professor Thomas Hildebrandt expressed optimism about the findings, highlighting the significance of the successful embryo transfer in demonstrating that frozen and defrosted embryos produced in a lab can survive. This development offers hope for the revival of the northern white rhino population.
However, challenges facing rhino conservation remain significant. While the southern white rhino subspecies and the black rhino species have shown signs of recovery from population declines due to illegal hunting for their horns (牛角), the northern white rhino subspecies is on the edge of extinction. With only two known members left in the world, Najin and her daughter Fatu, both unable to reproduce naturally, and the recent death of the last male white rhino, Sudan, in 2018, urgent action is needed to prevent the extinction of this subspecies. Dr. Jo Shaw, CEO of Save the Rhino International, emphasized the importance of addressing the primary threats facing rhinos worldwide: illegal hunting for their horns and habitat loss due to development. She stressed the need to provide rhinos with the space and security they need to succeed in their natural environment.
While the successful embryo transfer representsa significant advancement in rhino conservation efforts, organized action is required to address the main challenges facing rhino populations worldwide.
12. What is the purpose of the experiment mentioned in the text
A. To evaluate the efficiency of a new rhino birth program.
B. To observe the behavior of rhinos in a controlled environment.
C. To assess the effects of climate change on the southem rhino habitats.
D. To develop a way of rescuing the endangered northern white rhinos subspecies.
13. Which word can replace the underlined word “revival” in paragraph 3
A. Rebirth. B. Decline. C. Stability. D. Decrease.
14. What is the current condition of the northern white rhino subspecies
A. Facing extinction. B. Showing signs of recovery.
C. Developing in their natural habitat. D. Recovering from population declines
15. What might be the best title of this text
A. Dr. Jo Shaw’s Call to Action: Addressing Threats to Rhino Survival
B. Challenges Facing Rhino Conservation Efforts: Urgent Action Needed
C. The Successful Embryo Transfer: A Breakthrough in Rhino Conservation
D. Professor Thomas Hildebrandt’s Optimism: Hope for Rhino Population Revival

“I challenge you to a hundred-meter race,” my opponent, Julius, declared. He had beaten me countless times during practice, but I wanted to prove him wrong for a change. “That’ll wipe the smile off his face!” I thought, even as fear started to pour in my stomach. He was well-known around the school for being the fastest runner on the track-and-field team, while I tailed behind in second place- a respectable position, but not yet good enough to surpass (超过) him. Nevertheless, I shook his hand and said, “Challenge accepted!” However, negative thoughts flooded my mind. Would I be able to win After all, Julius’ speed of light would guarantee a sure win!
Soon, all my friends and the teachers had gathered around to watch the challenge. “Oh no, I will lose and be embarrassed in front of the whole school!” I spoke in a low voice. Nevertheless, I turned my worried expression into a determined smile. To keep myself from sinking into self-doubt, I did some stretches and jumping jacks to warm up my body.
Finally, the crucial moment arrived. The referee(裁判)fired the starting gun and we took off like a shot. Adrenaline(肾上腺素) rocketed through my body as I launched myself forward. True to my expectations, Julius caught up with me easily and was in the lead! “No way will I lose! Victory, here I come!” I motivated myself as anger coursed through my body. As the race progressed, my eyes locked onto Julius, his athletic form effortlessly moving ahead. His quick steps and strong focus showcased his impressive skills. Yet, I refused to let doubt consume me. A fierce fire burnt within, fueled by a mix of unwillingness to admit defeat and anger. How dare he assume he was unbeatable With every step, my determination solidified(变坚定), and my resolve to surpass him strengthened.

Drops of sweat rolled down my cheeks, mixing with the intense expression on my face. This was not just a race – it was a representation of my willpower, a proof of the depths of my resolve.
“Yi Rou! Yi Rou! Yi Rou!” The whole school was cheering my name! I stood there excited. Julius, out of breath, reached out to shake my hand. “That was a brilliant race! I hope that I can race with you again.” Soon after, I collapsed as everyone came to congratulate me. They gave me warm pats on the back. I was so tired that all I managed to do was smile at them. “Thank you for all the support! It really was a challenge!”
