Food festivals are a common occurrence in the UK and take place in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times. Whatever your taste， there's a food festival to match—no matter how specialized.
Meatopia
This three－day， London－based festival takes place at the end of August and is a meat lover's paradise. In addition to a range of legally sourced meat products， from juicy burgers to tender steaks， attendees can listen to live music， watch butchery demonstrations， and attend informal meat－based workshops.
The National Honey Show
If you have a sweet tooth， then it could be that the National Honey Show， which started in 1921 and is the largest event of its kind， is the place for you to be. This three－day event attracts many local entries who showcase their sweet golden honey， some of which is sold globally.
The Orange Sauce Festival
Have you heard about a festival that is devoted only to orange sauce？ Held in Cumbria， this sweet， fragrant festival has been running for 3 years. What attracts people most is a competition to find the best homemade orange sauce. There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe， bringing their local snacks to share here.
The Ginger （姜） and Spice Festival
If you'd prefer something with a little more kick to it， then you could attend the Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton. Unlike other food festivals， it celebrates its town's historic connection to Robert Clive， who returned from India with ginger. Because of this， they specialize in baking gingerbread， but also sell a range of traditional spices from mild to hot.
21.What do Meatopia and the National Honey Show have in common？

People perform graceful moves， all while standing on a bamboo strip in the river. You may think it's a scene from an art movie， but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage： bamboo drifting （独竹漂）.
Bamboo drifting dates back to over 2，000 years ago in the Chishui River area of Guizhou. During the Qin Dynasty， the Bozhou district of Zunyi city was known for its high－quality nanmu. It was in great demand by the royal court more than 2，000 kilometers to the north. With no transportation along the Chishui River， people had to stand on one log （原木） to drift down the river. Later， local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty， wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo's lower price.
Now， communities in Guizhou hold bamboo drifting competitions every year during the Dragon Boat Festival. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act， bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.
Yang Liu， 24， is an inheritor of bamboo drifting. Yang said the most difficult part of bamboo drifting was keeping one's balance. “I fell in the water several times when I was practicing，” she said.
“Usually， the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long， and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters. If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough， it will not be buoyant （有浮力的） enough to float. So we should fight against the water flow by continuously changing the angle，” Yang added.
But the love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 17 years， she has drifted all year round， in winter cold and summer heat.
Yang also produces new ideas when spreading the culture of bamboo drifting. For example， she connects dance with bamboo drifting to make it more graceful and wears hanfu when performing， creating a beautiful feel. In 2020， Yang registered on social media platforms and posted her videos. “I want to spread it to other countries so that more people around the world will like Chinese culture，” she told China Daily.
24.What's the main idea of Paragraph 2？
A.The use of bamboo drifting.
B.The birthplace of bamboo drifting.
C.The acting skills for bamboo drifting.
D.The historical development of bamboo drifting.
25.Why was bamboo drifting listed into the national intangible cultural heritage？
A.It spreads Chinese culture to the world.
B.It enjoys great popularity among Guizhou people.
C.It's physically and technically demanding for performers.
D.It's an important activity during the Dragon Boat Festival.
26.What is the most challenging for bamboo drifting？
A.Keeping one's balance.
B.Performing graceful moves.
C.Choosing bamboos of proper size.
D.Continuously changing the angle.
27.Which of the following best describes Yang Liu？
A.Responsible and brave.
B.Creative and determined.
C.Hard－working and outgoing.
D.Knowledgeable and competitive.

Two years ago， I went on a student exchange program to Auckland in New Zealand. I chose to go to New Zealand because firstly， it is a safe country and secondly， I wanted to go to a country that is culturally different from my own.
I started considering going on a student exchange program after making a backpack trip around the world when I was a freshman at Waseda University. I met so many people of different backgrounds during my trip. When I was travelling， I realized the importance of speaking English. I felt that if I knew English， I could communicate and make friends with a lot of people around the world. Then， I made up my mind to work hard after coming back from the trip.
When I was at Auckland University of Technology， I mainly took classes related to language pedagogy （教学法）. Unlike at Waseda University， many of the classes at Auckland University of Technology were held in small class size， usually a class size of 15 students to a teacher. In addition， rather than one way passive learning， students were required to actively raise their opinions and take part in group discussions in class. The classes were also practical in nature and required a lot of preparation.
Spending a year studying abroad has made me feel more confident in communicating in English. I was also able to meet people of different backgrounds thanks to the exchange paring to the past， I am now a better listener and also better at voicing my opinions. Studying abroad does not only improve my language skills， but also makes me grow as a person.
28.Why did the author choose to go to New Zealand？
A.To do his research program.
B.To experience its culture.
C.To volunteer in a safe country.
D.To start his trips around the world.
29.What did the author decide to do after traveling abroad？
A.Avoid people from different backgrounds.
B.Further his study during his trip.
C.Make more friends in his new university.
D.Make efforts to learn English well.
30.How do the classes at Auckland differ from those at Waseda？
A.They are smaller.
B.They have fewer discussions.
C.They are quieter.
D.They call for fewer efforts.
31.What can we say about the author from the last paragraph？
A.He wants to teach language skills.
B.He decides to study abroad again.
C.He feels thankful for the program.
D.He listens more than he speaks.
D
Around the world， many people come together on 31st December to celebrate the coming of the New Year， which is called Hogmanay in Scotland. The tradition of Hogmanay comes from Viking times and the celebration is more popular than Christmas in Scotland.
On Hogmanay's Eve， family members throughout Scotland will get together to “bring in the bells”. The phrase in Scotland refers to the ten second countdown to midnight when bells ring all over Scotland to signal the beginning of the New Year. The atmosphere can only be described as electric！ It is such an exciting event and all of the people are in a good mood as they wait to bring in the New Year bells！
Then most towns in Scotland have celebrations with fireworks in the evening， but in the bigger Scottish cities， other events take place.
The best－known event for Hogmanay is the annual Edinburgh Street Party. Every year， Edinburgh hosts a joyful firework show and other celebrating activities outside of the castle and it is broadcast on TV for those watching the celebration from their homes.
Another very popular event takes place in Stonehaven， where there is a “Fireball Ceremony” which takes place along the street. Around forty men and women come together and wave fireballs around their heads， which is wonderful to witness！ People line the streets hours beforehand to see the festival which begins immediately after midnight on December 31st.
On New Year's Day in Scotland， it is traditional to have a meal with the family. They always eat a steak pie with vegetables. Another tradition that has to be mentioned is the “First Footing” tradition. Also from the time of the Vikings， this is the tradition where the first person to enter the home after Hogmanay has to bring something Scottish with them， otherwise it brings bad luck for the coming year. People are usually very generous with their first footing gifts such as ginger wine， Scottish whisky and homemade shortbread.
32.What will the family members do right before the midnight of 31st December？
A.Have a big dinner party.
B.Ring the bells at home.
C.Count down the last ten seconds.
D.Set off fireworks outside.
33.What can we know about the Edinburgh Street Party？
A.It is a firework show.
B.It is a fireball ceremony.
C.It is a well－known gathering.
D.It is a popular TV show.
34.Which is the traditional thing for the Scottish New Year meal？
A.Steak pies with vegetables.
B.Homemade shortbread.
C.Ginger wine.
D.Scottish whisky.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text？
A.Hogmanay： the Scottish New Year
B.The Origin of the Scottish New Year
C.First Footing： an Old Scottish Tradition
D.Different Ways of New Year Celebrations

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。
English family names or surnames as we know today weren't widely used until the Norman conquest （征服） of 1066. Before that time there weren't enough people to make it necessary to use anything other than a single name. 　36　， people began adding descriptions such as “John the Baker” to tell between people of the same name. These descriptive names eventually became associated with a family， passed down from one generation to the next.
Occupational （职业性的） Surnames. 　37　. Two common English surnames， Smith and Wright， are excellent examples of this. A name ending in “－man” usually suggests a trade name， as in Chapman （shopkeeper）.
Descriptive Surnames. Based on a unique quality or physical characteristic of the individual， descriptive surnames often developed from nicknames. Most refer to an individual's appearance， like size， color or physical shape， for example， Little or Armstrong. 　38　. Good child or Wise are good examples of this.
Geographical Surnames. These are names coming from the location of the land in which the first bearer and his family lived， and are generally the most common origin of English surnames. They were first introduced into England by the Normans， many of whom were known by the name of their personal lands. 　39　. County names in Great Britain， such as Kent and Devon， have been commonly adopted as surnames.
Other local surnames are from descriptive landscape features such as hills and woods which describe the land where the bearer lives. 　40　.
A.As the country's population grew
B.As a person entered under one surname
C.A rare name can tell you the family's origin
D.This is the origin of surnames such as Hill and Bush
E.They may also refer to an individual's personal character
F.Many English surnames developed from a person's job or trade
G.Thus， many English surnames developed from the name of an actual town or county

Growing up in the USA， I always wanted to experience another culture. The 　41　 came when I was 15. After a few months of planning and 　42　， I was ready to spend the second semester of my first high school year 　43　 an exchange student in Australia.
　44　 in Perth was one of the most exciting moments of my life. I realized then that there was no turning back. The family I would live with was waiting for me， and it would only be five days 　45　 the new school year. The school I attended was 　46　 my school back in the States. I was quite 　47　 at first， especially never having been to a new school—even in the US. Everything went without 　48　， though. The teachers were welcoming and the students were friendly.
The most 　49　 time was travelling with other exchange students around Australia during our semester break. The few weeks we 　50　 together were full of amazing activities.
At the end of our 　51　 in Australia， we had three weeks to share our stories and help each other deal with leaving. It was only 　52　 that our last day together was filled with tears. We packed our camp， 　53　 e－mail addresses and gathered together for a final good－bye.
Upon coming home， an open mind was again important. Resettling home took time and 　54　， but at last I made it. All the while， I was thoughtful to let my family and friends know how happy I was to be home and 　55　 I had missed them—though the experience is still unforgettable with me. So， if you have the opportunity to study abroad you most certainly should.

Mary frowned as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from New York， having bought a small restaurant， which was set to open in the next few days.
“Moving here was a stupid idea. I have lost all my friends in New York. What should I do now？” Mary grumbled （抱怨）， mostly to herself.
“What's that？” Her mother asked， opening a box and lifting out several pots. “Nothing，” Mary mumbled （嘟哝）. The girl had been complaining about the move， but her parents had made the decision and were then too busy to listen to her complaints.
The first few days at her new school hadn't been easy， either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn't know， and it seemed that the students hadn't even noticed her. Mary sighed and got back to wash dishes.
On the day of the grand opening， Mary's parents were busy the whole day， welcoming customers into the restaurant， which was brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Mary was in a good mood as she rushed around， seating guests， handing out menus， and pouring glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.
At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Mary's age. As she filled their glasses， Mary realized the twins were in her class. Mary ducked her head down. Her long hair covered her face， and she turned away from the table.
A few minutes later， Mary's mother found her in the kitchen. “Honey， what are you doing back here？ We need you out front with the customers.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；

　　Good afternoon， class. I want to start my lecture today by telling you a little story. Once there was a young woman from Mexico named Consuela who came to New York to learn English. She got a job at a factory owned by a man from China. One day， as Consuela came to work， her Chinese boss handed her a red envelope. Consuela looked inside and saw 20 dollars. She became very upset and threw the envelope back at the boss. Her boss was shocked. Can you guess why？ Well， the boss gave her the red envelope with the money in it because it was the Chinese New Year. And on the Chinese New Year it is traditional to give money to young single people for good luck. However， from Consuela's point of view， here was an older man giving her money in an envelope. This meant a bad thing for her. Naturally she refused to take the money. Now， what does this story show us？ Every culture has its own rules for what is appropriate and what is not appropriate behavior， and serious misunderstandings can occur if we don't understand them. First， the way people greet each other in different cultures. Second， the way they use names and titles. Third， the way people eat. And finally， the way they exchange gifts. OK， now， I'd like to talk about them one by one.
18.What is the speaker doing？
A.Giving a lecture.
B.Studying foreign cultures.
C.Telling some stories.
答案：A
19.What does the story show us？
A.Many people suffer from culture shock.

A.The way people eat in different cultures.
B.The way people use their names in different cultures.
C.The way people greet each other in different cultures.

Food festivals are a common occurrence in the UK and take place in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times. Whatever your taste， there's a food festival to match—no matter how specialized.
Meatopia
This three－day， London－based festival takes place at the end of August and is a meat lover's paradise. In addition to a range of legally sourced meat products， from juicy burgers to tender steaks， attendees can listen to live music， watch butchery demonstrations， and attend informal meat－based workshops.
The National Honey Show
If you have a sweet tooth， then it could be that the National Honey Show， which started in 1921 and is the largest event of its kind， is the place for you to be. This three－day event attracts many local entries who showcase their sweet golden honey， some of which is sold globally.
The Orange Sauce Festival
Have you heard about a festival that is devoted only to orange sauce？ Held in Cumbria， this sweet， fragrant festival has been running for 3 years. What attracts people most is a competition to find the best homemade orange sauce. There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe， bringing their local snacks to share here.
The Ginger （姜） and Spice Festival
If you'd prefer something with a little more kick to it， then you could attend the Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton. Unlike other food festivals， it celebrates its town's historic connection to Robert Clive， who returned from India with ginger. Because of this， they specialize in baking gingerbread， but also sell a range of traditional spices from mild to hot.

People perform graceful moves， all while standing on a bamboo strip in the river. You may think it's a scene from an art movie， but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage： bamboo drifting （独竹漂）.
Bamboo drifting dates back to over 2，000 years ago in the Chishui River area of Guizhou. During the Qin Dynasty， the Bozhou district of Zunyi city was known for its high－quality nanmu. It was in great demand by the royal court more than 2，000 kilometers to the north. With no transportation along the Chishui River， people had to stand on one log （原木） to drift down the river. Later， local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty， wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo's lower price.
Now， communities in Guizhou hold bamboo drifting competitions every year during the Dragon Boat Festival. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act， bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.
Yang Liu， 24， is an inheritor of bamboo drifting. Yang said the most difficult part of bamboo drifting was keeping one's balance. “I fell in the water several times when I was practicing，” she said.
“Usually， the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long， and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters. If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough， it will not be buoyant （有浮力的） enough to float. So we should fight against the water flow by continuously changing the angle，” Yang added.
But the love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 17 years， she has drifted all year round， in winter cold and summer heat.
Yang also produces new ideas when spreading the culture of bamboo drifting. For example， she connects dance with bamboo drifting to make it more graceful and wears hanfu when performing， creating a beautiful feel. In 2020， Yang registered on social media platforms and posted her videos. “I want to spread it to other countries so that more people around the world will like Chinese culture，” she told China Daily.

Two years ago， I went on a student exchange program to Auckland in New Zealand. I chose to go to New Zealand because firstly， it is a safe country and secondly， I wanted to go to a country that is culturally different from my own.
I started considering going on a student exchange program after making a backpack trip around the world when I was a freshman at Waseda University. I met so many people of different backgrounds during my trip. When I was travelling， I realized the importance of speaking English. I felt that if I knew English， I could communicate and make friends with a lot of people around the world. Then， I made up my mind to work hard after coming back from the trip.
When I was at Auckland University of Technology， I mainly took classes related to language pedagogy （教学法）. Unlike at Waseda University， many of the classes at Auckland University of Technology were held in small class size， usually a class size of 15 students to a teacher. In addition， rather than one way passive learning， students were required to actively raise their opinions and take part in group discussions in class. The classes were also practical in nature and required a lot of preparation.
Spending a year studying abroad has made me feel more confident in communicating in English. I was also able to meet people of different backgrounds thanks to the exchange paring to the past， I am now a better listener and also better at voicing my opinions. Studying abroad does not only improve my language skills， but also makes me grow as a person.

Around the world， many people come together on 31st December to celebrate the coming of the New Year， which is called Hogmanay in Scotland. The tradition of Hogmanay comes from Viking times and the celebration is more popular than Christmas in Scotland.
On Hogmanay's Eve， family members throughout Scotland will get together to “bring in the bells”. The phrase in Scotland refers to the ten second countdown to midnight when bells ring all over Scotland to signal the beginning of the New Year. The atmosphere can only be described as electric！ It is such an exciting event and all of the people are in a good mood as they wait to bring in the New Year bells！
Then most towns in Scotland have celebrations with fireworks in the evening， but in the bigger Scottish cities， other events take place.
The best－known event for Hogmanay is the annual Edinburgh Street Party. Every year， Edinburgh hosts a joyful firework show and other celebrating activities outside of the castle and it is broadcast on TV for those watching the celebration from their homes.
Another very popular event takes place in Stonehaven， where there is a “Fireball Ceremony” which takes place along the street. Around forty men and women come together and wave fireballs around their heads， which is wonderful to witness！ People line the streets hours beforehand to see the festival which begins immediately after midnight on December 31st.
On New Year's Day in Scotland， it is traditional to have a meal with the family. They always eat a steak pie with vegetables. Another tradition that has to be mentioned is the “First Footing” tradition. Also from the time of the Vikings， this is the tradition where the first person to enter the home after Hogmanay has to bring something Scottish with them， otherwise it brings bad luck for the coming year. People are usually very generous with their first footing gifts such as ginger wine， Scottish whisky and homemade shortbread.

English family names or surnames as we know today weren't widely used until the Norman conquest （征服） of 1066. Before that time there weren't enough people to make it necessary to use anything other than a single name. 　36　， people began adding descriptions such as “John the Baker” to tell between people of the same name. These descriptive names eventually became associated with a family， passed down from one generation to the next.
Occupational （职业性的） Surnames. 　37　. Two common English surnames， Smith and Wright， are excellent examples of this. A name ending in “－man” usually suggests a trade name， as in Chapman （shopkeeper）.
Descriptive Surnames. Based on a unique quality or physical characteristic of the individual， descriptive surnames often developed from nicknames. Most refer to an individual's appearance， like size， color or physical shape， for example， Little or Armstrong. 　38　. Good child or Wise are good examples of this.
Geographical Surnames. These are names coming from the location of the land in which the first bearer and his family lived， and are generally the most common origin of English surnames. They were first introduced into England by the Normans， many of whom were known by the name of their personal lands. 　39　. County names in Great Britain， such as Kent and Devon， have been commonly adopted as surnames.
Other local surnames are from descriptive landscape features such as hills and woods which describe the land where the bearer lives. 　40　.
A.As the country's population grew
B.As a person entered under one surname
C.A rare name can tell you the family's origin
D.This is the origin of surnames such as Hill and Bush
E.They may also refer to an individual's personal character
F.Many English surnames developed from a person's job or trade
G.Thus， many English surnames developed from the name of an actual town or county

37.答案：F
解析：根据上文“Occupational （职业性的） Surnames.（职业性的姓氏。）”可知，本段主要讲述了姓氏和职业相关。F项（许多英语姓氏是由一个人的工作或行业发展而来的）承接上文。故选F。

解析：根据下文“Good child or Wise are good examples of this.”可知，Good child或Wise描述的是一个人的性格。E项（它们也可以指一个人的性格）引出下文。故选E。
39.答案：G
解析：根据下文“County names in Great Britain ... adopted as surnames.”可知，一些郡名已经成了姓氏。G项（因此，许多英文姓氏是根据一个实际的城镇或郡的名字发展而来的）引出下文。故选G。
40.答案：D
解析：根据上文“Other local surnames are from ... where the bearer lives.”可知，有些景观特征也成了姓氏。D项（这是Hill和Bush等姓氏的起源）承接上文，是上文所指的景观特征的具体例子。故选D。

Mary frowned as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from New York， having bought a small restaurant， which was set to open in the next few days.
“Moving here was a stupid idea. I have lost all my friends in New York. What should I do now？” Mary grumbled （抱怨）， mostly to herself.
“What's that？” Her mother asked， opening a box and lifting out several pots. “Nothing，” Mary mumbled （嘟哝）. The girl had been complaining about the move， but her parents had made the decision and were then too busy to listen to her complaints.
The first few days at her new school hadn't been easy， either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn't know， and it seemed that the students hadn't even noticed her. Mary sighed and got back to wash dishes.
On the day of the grand opening， Mary's parents were busy the whole day， welcoming customers into the restaurant， which was brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Mary was in a good mood as she rushed around， seating guests， handing out menus， and pouring glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.
At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Mary's age. As she filled their glasses， Mary realized the twins were in her class. Mary ducked her head down. Her long hair covered her face， and she turned away from the table.
A few minutes later， Mary's mother found her in the kitchen. “Honey， what are you doing back here？ We need you out front with the customers.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“Mom， I don't want to be out there！”　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Mary put a handful of cookies into a small plate and left the kitchen.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Mary （玛丽）跟随父母搬家，失去了在纽约结交的所有朋友。她在新的学校没有朋友，她感到很孤独。父母餐厅开业那天，Mary在招待客人时遇到了同班的双胞胎，她害羞地躲到了厨房里。妈妈会对她说些什么呢？她结识到新朋友了吗？
[精彩范文]
“Mom， I don't want to be out there！” Mary frowned. Feeling Mary was in a bad mood， her mother asked her what was wrong in a soft voice. At that moment， Mary couldn't help pouring out her troubles， “Without a friend， I'm isolated here.” Realizing she had ignored Mary's feelings after the move， her mother held Mary in her arms， suggesting that she make new friends by taking action first. “Go and take them some cookies and say hello！” The instant Mary heard that， her eyes shone with a mixture of excitement and expectation.
Mary put a handful of cookies into a small plate and left the kitchen. Nervous as she was， she plucked up courage to approach the table where the twins sat， placing the cookies down carefully. She bravely looked at the girls directly in the eyes， “Thanks so much for coming to our restaurant！” It was not until the twins looked up that they recognized her. The twins gave her a big hug. They offered to hang out with her and introduce her around to the other guys at school. “That would be awesome！” Mary grinned.

　　Good afternoon， class. I want to start my lecture today by telling you a little story. Once there was a young woman from Mexico named Consuela who came to New York to learn English. She got a job at a factory owned by a man from China. One day， as Consuela came to work， her Chinese boss handed her a red envelope. Consuela looked inside and saw 20 dollars. She became very upset and threw the envelope back at the boss. Her boss was shocked. Can you guess why？
Well， the boss gave her the red envelope with the money in it because it was the Chinese New Year. And on the Chinese New Year it is traditional to give money to young single people for good luck. However， from Consuela's point of view， here was an older man giving her money in an envelope. This meant a bad thing for her. Naturally she refused to take the money.
Now， what does this story show us？ Every culture has its own rules for what is appropriate and what is not appropriate behavior， and serious misunderstandings can occur if we don't understand them. First， the way people greet each other in different cultures. Second， the way they use names and titles. Third， the way people eat. And finally， the way they exchange gifts. OK， now， I'd like to talk about them one by one.
18.What is the speaker doing？
A.Giving a lecture.
B.Studying foreign cultures.
C.Telling some stories.
19.What does the story show us？
A.Many people suffer from culture shock.
B.Different countries have different customs.
C.Do as the Romans do when in Rome.
20.What is the speaker going to talk about next？
A.The way people eat in different cultures.
B.The way people use their names in different cultures.
C.The way people greet each other in different cultures.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Food festivals are a common occurrence in the UK and take place in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times. Whatever your taste， there's a food festival to match—no matter how specialized.
Meatopia
This three-day， London-based festival takes place at the end of August and is a meat lover's paradise. In addition to a range of legally sourced meat products， from juicy burgers to tender steaks， attendees can listen to live music， watch butchery demonstrations， and attend informal meat-based workshops.
The National Honey Show
If you have a sweet tooth， then it could be that the National Honey Show， which started in 1921 and is the largest event of its kind， is the place for you to be. This three-day event attracts many local entries who showcase their sweet golden honey， some of which is sold globally.
The Orange Sauce Festival
Have you heard about a festival that is devoted only to orange sauce？ Held in Cumbria， this sweet， fragrant festival has been running for 3 years. What attracts people most is a competition to find the best homemade orange sauce. There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe， bringing their local snacks to share here.
The Ginger (姜) and Spice Festival
If you'd prefer something with a little more kick to it， then you could attend the Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton. Unlike other food festivals， it celebrates its town's historic connection to Robert Clive， who returned from India with ginger. Because of this， they specialize in baking gingerbread， but also sell a range of traditional spices from mild to hot.

People perform graceful moves， all while standing on a bamboo strip in the river. You may think it's a scene from an art movie， but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage： bamboo drifting (独竹漂).
Bamboo drifting dates back to over 2，000 years ago in the Chishui River area of Guizhou. During the Qin Dynasty， the Bozhou district of Zunyi city was known for its high－quality nanmu. It was in great demand by the royal court more than 2，000 kilometers to the north. With no transportation along the Chishui River， people had to stand on one log (原木) to drift down the river. Later， local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty， wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo's lower price.
Now， communities in Guizhou hold bamboo drifting competitions every year during the Dragon Boat Festival. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act， bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.
Yang Liu， 24， is an inheritor of bamboo drifting. Yang said the most difficult part of bamboo drifting was keeping one's balance. “I fell in the water several times when I was practicing，” she said.
“Usually， the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long， and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters. If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough， it will not be buoyant (有浮力的) enough to float. So we should fight against the water flow by continuously changing the angle，” Yang added.
But the love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 17 years， she has drifted all year round， in winter cold and summer heat.
Yang also produces new ideas when spreading the culture of bamboo drifting. For example， she connects dance with bamboo drifting to make it more graceful and wears hanfu when performing， creating a beautiful feel. In 2020， Yang registered on social media platforms and posted her videos. “I want to spread it to other countries so that more people around the world will like Chinese culture，” she told China Daily.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了国家非物质文化遗产独竹漂的历史及传承。
24.What's the main idea of Paragraph 2？
A.The use of bamboo drifting.
B.The birthplace of bamboo drifting.
C.The acting skills for bamboo drifting.
D.The historical development of bamboo drifting.
解析：段落大意题。根据第二段中的“Bamboo drifting dates back ... area of Guizhou.” “During the Qin Dynasty ... its high quality nanmu.”和“In the Qing Dynasty ... bamboo's lower price.”可知，本段讲述了独竹漂从秦朝到清朝的演变史。故选D。
25.Why was bamboo drifting listed into the national intangible cultural heritage？
A.It spreads Chinese culture to the world.
B.It enjoys great popularity among Guizhou people.
C.It's physically and technically demanding for performers.
D.It's an important activity during the Dragon Boat Festival.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Due to the great strength ... in the national intangible cultural heritage list.”可知，因为表演者需要巨大的力量和平衡感才能掌握这一动作，所以独竹漂才被列入了国家非物质文化遗产名录。故选C。
26.What is the most challenging for bamboo drifting？
A.Keeping one's balance.
B.Performing graceful moves.
C.Choosing bamboos of proper size.
D.Continuously changing the angle.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Yang said ... was keeping one's balance.”可知，独竹漂最具有挑战性的部分是保持身体平衡。故选A。
27.Which of the following best describes Yang Liu？
A.Responsible and brave.
B.Creative and determined.
C.Hard－working and outgoing.
D.Knowledgeable and competitive.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“For example ... a beautiful feel.(例如，她将舞蹈与独竹漂相结合，使其更加优雅，并在表演时穿着汉服，营造出一种美感。)”可推知，她具有创造性。根据倒数第二段中的“In the past 17 years ... in winter cold and summer heat.(在过去的17年里，无论寒冬还是酷暑，她整年都在练习独竹漂。)”可推知，她非常坚定。故选B。

Two years ago， I went on a student exchange program to Auckland in New Zealand. I chose to go to New Zealand because firstly， it is a safe country and secondly， I wanted to go to a country that is culturally different from my own.
I started considering going on a student exchange program after making a backpack trip around the world when I was a freshman at Waseda University. I met so many people of different backgrounds during my trip. When I was travelling， I realized the importance of speaking English. I felt that if I knew English， I could communicate and make friends with a lot of people around the world. Then， I made up my mind to work hard after coming back from the trip.
When I was at Auckland University of Technology， I mainly took classes related to language pedagogy (教学法). Unlike at Waseda University， many of the classes at Auckland University of Technology were held in small class size， usually a class size of 15 students to a teacher. In addition， rather than one way passive learning， students were required to actively raise their opinions and take part in group discussions in class. The classes were also practical in nature and required a lot of preparation.
Spending a year studying abroad has made me feel more confident in communicating in English. I was also able to meet people of different backgrounds thanks to the exchange paring to the past， I am now a better listener and also better at voicing my opinions. Studying abroad does not only improve my language skills， but also makes me grow as a person.

Around the world， many people come together on 31st December to celebrate the coming of the New Year， which is called Hogmanay in Scotland. The tradition of Hogmanay comes from Viking times and the celebration is more popular than Christmas in Scotland.
On Hogmanay's Eve， family members throughout Scotland will get together to “bring in the bells”. The phrase in Scotland refers to the ten second countdown to midnight when bells ring all over Scotland to signal the beginning of the New Year. The atmosphere can only be described as electric！ It is such an exciting event and all of the people are in a good mood as they wait to bring in the New Year bells！
Then most towns in Scotland have celebrations with fireworks in the evening， but in the bigger Scottish cities， other events take place.
The best-known event for Hogmanay is the annual Edinburgh Street Party. Every year， Edinburgh hosts a joyful firework show and other celebrating activities outside of the castle and it is broadcast on TV for those watching the celebration from their homes.
Another very popular event takes place in Stonehaven， where there is a “Fireball Ceremony” which takes place along the street. Around forty men and women come together and wave fireballs around their heads， which is wonderful to witness！ People line the streets hours beforehand to see the festival which begins immediately after midnight on December 31st.
On New Year's Day in Scotland， it is traditional to have a meal with the family. They always eat a steak pie with vegetables. Another tradition that has to be mentioned is the “First Footing” tradition. Also from the time of the Vikings， this is the tradition where the first person to enter the home after Hogmanay has to bring something Scottish with them， otherwise it brings bad luck for the coming year. People are usually very generous with their first footing gifts such as ginger wine， Scottish whisky and homemade shortbread.

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。
English family names or surnames as we know today weren't widely used until the Norman conquest (征服) of 1066. Before that time there weren't enough people to make it necessary to use anything other than a single name. 　36　， people began adding descriptions such as “John the Baker” to tell between people of the same name. These descriptive names eventually became associated with a family， passed down from one generation to the next.
Occupational (职业性的) Surnames. 　37　. Two common English surnames， Smith and Wright， are excellent examples of this. A name ending in “-man” usually suggests a trade name， as in Chapman (shopkeeper).
Descriptive Surnames. Based on a unique quality or physical characteristic of the individual， descriptive surnames often developed from nicknames. Most refer to an individual's appearance， like size， color or physical shape， for example， Little or Armstrong. 　38　. Good child or Wise are good examples of this.
Geographical Surnames. These are names coming from the location of the land in which the first bearer and his family lived， and are generally the most common origin of English surnames. They were first introduced into England by the Normans， many of whom were known by the name of their personal lands. 　39　. County names in Great Britain， such as Kent and Devon， have been commonly adopted as surnames.
Other local surnames are from descriptive landscape features such as hills and woods which describe the land where the bearer lives. 　40　.
A.As the country's population grew
B.As a person entered under one surname
C.A rare name can tell you the family's origin
D.This is the origin of surnames such as Hill and Bush
E.They may also refer to an individual's personal character
F.Many English surnames developed from a person's job or trade
G.Thus， many English surnames developed from the name of an actual town or county
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国姓氏的由来。
36．答案：A
解析：根据上文“Before that time there weren't ... other than a single name.”可知，在诺曼征服之前，英国人口不多。再根据下文“people began adding ... people of the same name”可知，人们开始添加一些描述来区分同名的人。A项(随着国家人口的增长)承上启下。故选A。
37．答案：F
解析：根据上文“Occupational (职业性的) Surnames.(职业性的姓氏。)”可知，本段主要讲述了姓氏和职业相关。F项(许多英语姓氏是由一个人的工作或行业发展而来的)承接上文。故选F。
38．答案：E
解析：根据下文“Good child or Wise are good examples of this.”可知，Good child或Wise描述的是一个人的性格。E项(它们也可以指一个人的性格)引出下文。故选E。
39．答案：G
解析：根据下文“County names in Great Britain ... adopted as surnames.”可知，一些郡名已经成了姓氏。G项(因此，许多英文姓氏是根据一个实际的城镇或郡的名字发展而来的)引出下文。故选G。
40．答案：D
解析：根据上文“Other local surnames are from ... where the bearer lives.”可知，有些景观特征也成了姓氏。D项(这是Hill和Bush等姓氏的起源)承接上文，是上文所指的景观特征的具体例子。故选D。

Growing up in the USA， I always wanted to experience another culture. The 　41　 came when I was 15. After a few months of planning and 　42　， I was ready to spend the second semester of my first high school year 　43　 an exchange student in Australia.
　44　 in Perth was one of the most exciting moments of my life. I realized then that there was no turning back. The family I would live with was waiting for me， and it would only be five days 　45　 the new school year. The school I attended was 　46　 my school back in the States. I was quite 　47　 at first， especially never having been to a new school—even in the US. Everything went without 　48　， though. The teachers were welcoming and the students were friendly.
The most 　49　 time was travelling with other exchange students around Australia during our semester break. The few weeks we 　50　 together were full of amazing activities.
At the end of our 　51　 in Australia， we had three weeks to share our stories and help each other deal with leaving. It was only 　52　 that our last day together was filled with tears. We packed our camp， 　53　 e-mail addresses and gathered together for a final good-bye.
Upon coming home， an open mind was again important. Resettling home took time and 　54　， but at last I made it. All the while， I was thoughtful to let my family and friends know how happy I was to be home and 　55　 I had missed them—though the experience is still unforgettable with me. So， if you have the opportunity to study abroad you most certainly should.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
Mary frowned as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from New York， having bought a small restaurant， which was set to open in the next few days.
“Moving here was a stupid idea. I have lost all my friends in New York. What should I do now？” Mary grumbled (抱怨)， mostly to herself.
“What's that？” Her mother asked， opening a box and lifting out several pots. “Nothing，” Mary mumbled (嘟哝). The girl had been complaining about the move， but her parents had made the decision and were then too busy to listen to her complaints.
The first few days at her new school hadn't been easy， either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn't know， and it seemed that the students hadn't even noticed her. Mary sighed and got back to wash dishes.
On the day of the grand opening， Mary's parents were busy the whole day， welcoming customers into the restaurant， which was brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Mary was in a good mood as she rushed around， seating guests， handing out menus， and pouring glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.
At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Mary's age. As she filled their glasses， Mary realized the twins were in her class. Mary ducked her head down. Her long hair covered her face， and she turned away from the table.
A few minutes later， Mary's mother found her in the kitchen. “Honey， what are you doing back here？ We need you out front with the customers.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
“Mom， I don't want to be out there！” ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
Mary put a handful of cookies into a small plate and left the kitchen. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Mary (玛丽)跟随父母搬家，失去了在纽约结交的所有朋友。她在新的学校没有朋友，她感到很孤独。父母餐厅开业那天，Mary在招待客人时遇到了同班的双胞胎，她害羞地躲到了厨房里。妈妈会对她说些什么呢？她结识到新朋友了吗？

“Mom， I don't want to be out there！” Mary frowned. Feeling Mary was in a bad mood， her mother asked her what was wrong in a soft voice. At that moment， Mary couldn't help pouring out her troubles， “Without a friend， I'm isolated here.” Realizing she had ignored Mary's feelings after the move， her mother held Mary in her arms， suggesting that she make new friends by taking action first. “Go and take them some cookies and say hello！” The instant Mary heard that， her eyes shone with a mixture of excitement and expectation.
Mary put a handful of cookies into a small plate and left the kitchen. Nervous as she was， she plucked up courage to approach the table where the twins sat， placing the cookies down carefully. She bravely looked at the girls directly in the eyes， “Thanks so much for coming to our restaurant！” It was not until the twins looked up that they recognized her. The twins gave her a big hug. They offered to hang out with her and introduce her around to the other guys at school. “That would be awesome！” Mary grinned.
