26、   It seems every country has one major event on the annual calendar that claims to trump all others. But with almost 200 countries across the globe, experiencing every single one is near impossible for most us – despite how much we’d like to go. Here we’ve boiled down the options to the absolute top events to add to your bucket-list.

Gion Matsuri – Kyoto, Japan – July

Widely considered to be the summer festival in Japan, Gion Matsuri is more than 1,000 years old. It all started as a means to calm down the gods who brought sufferings by way of fire, floods and earthquakes, but these days, it’s a little more light-hearted and certainly a huge tourist magnet. Expect to be struck by the three festive evenings featuring a parade known as the ‘Yoiyama’ – a sight of delicately decorated lanterns and an all-round atmosphere of excitement with Japanese wine and food stands.

Songkran – Thailand – April

A water fight on a national scale, Songkran in Thailand is the celebration of the Buddhist (佛教的) New Year. Initially, water played a part on this special day by being poured over Buddhist statues, but these days, although still a spiritual and religious festival, Songkran has become a joyous occasion for festivity across the kingdom. Wherever you are in Thailand, you can expect to get wet with everything from water guns to elephant’s trunks being used for the purpose.

Saint Patrick’s Festival – Dublin, Ireland – March

Sure, Saint Patrick’s Day is observed anywhere in the world where there is an Irish community (or even just an Irish pub), but if you’re going to get involved, there’s no better place than Dublin. This festival runs for five days and five nights in March and is packed fuller than a program of music, performing arts, literature, tours and Irish food events. Centred around the national holiday, this festival of Irish pride, achievements and talents will be well supplied with typical beer and cocktail.

Montreux Jazz Festival – Montreux, Switzerland – June - July

There are plenty of music festivals in Europe, but this 50-year-old good time held on the shores of Lake Geneva is truly one of a kind and is the second-largest jazz festival in the world. It’s not just jazz, though. Here you’ll find broad ranging acts from pop to rock and blues, and, best of all, a large portion of the performances are free, in keeping with the festival’s intention to make music accessible to anyone.

【1】Among all the events above, what is unique about Gion Matsuri?

A．It lasts for at least three days.

B．It excites tourists with traditional drinks.

C．It has a long history and is celebrated in summer.

D．It was originally set up to keep people safe from natural disasters.

【2】Which event is also celebrated outside its original country?

A．Gion Matsuri.

B．Songkran.

C．Saint Patrick’s Festival.

D．Montreux Jazz Festival.

【3】Where can you visit to fully appreciate the charm of music?

A．Kyoto.

B．Thailand.

C．Dublin.

D．Montreux.

27、   When my daughter Sara was in the fifth grade, she came to me with a problem. “Marcy hates me!” she cried. “Because Kathy is my friend, too. She wants me to be her friend and nobody else’s. You talk to Marcy. You tell her that I want to be her friend, but I can have other friends, too!”

Oh! I looked at her for a few moments, wondering how I got into this mess, when suddenly an idea came to me.

Picking up two baskets from the living room, I explained, “When everyone is born, he or she has a little basket. This little one here is yours. The big one is mine. As you grow, so does the basket. You can see your little basket is inside mine because when you were born, there were too many things you couldn’t do for yourself. I did everything you couldn’t do on your own.”

She nodded.

“Well, as you grew older and began to do some things on your own, I began placing a few more things in your basket. When you learned to tie your shoes, that went in your basket.”

She said softly, “I can tie my own shoes.”

“Right. As you grow older, there will be more and more things you must do on your own.” As I spoke, I gradually took her basket out of mine and handed it to her. “You will finally carry your own basket with things only you can do.”

She looked up at me and said, “I understand. There are some things that I have to do for myself because they are in my basket.”

【1】What was Sara’s problem?

A.She didn’t have a basket. B.She didn’t want her own basket.

C.She couldn’t deal with her friendship. D.Her mother was too hard on her.

【2】We can infer that Sara ________.

A.would talk to Marcy herself

B.wouldn’t make friends with Kathy

C.was too young to deal with anything

D.managed to persuade her mother to help her

【3】The baskets mentioned in the passage refer to ________.

A.gifts given by parents when everyone is born

B.something that people use to keep vegetables

C.growing abilities as you grow up

D.friendship that needs repairing

28、The iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” –-- and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer --- which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ---used the title in 2008. A lovely bear --- popular in the US and UK --- that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.

In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use.

Most “i” products are targeted at （针对）young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.

But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition（定义）,” he says.

“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.

Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.

Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last ten years.

But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.

【1】People use iPlayer to __________.

A. listen to music   B. make a call

C. watch TV programs online D. read newspapers

【2】We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is designed for _________.

A. young readers B. old readers

C. fashionable women D. engineers

【3】The underlined word “ambiguous” means “__________”.

A. popular   B. uncertain

C. clear   D. unique

【4】Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are __________.

A. portable   B. environmentally friendly

C. advanced D. recyclable

【5】The writer wants to express that __________.

A. “i” products are often of high quality

B. iTeddy is alive bear

C. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products

D. the popularity of “i” products may not last long

29、As we all know, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Now scientists have given us another warning: spending too much time on smart phones or computers makes you dull too.

“Many focus on the benefits of digital devices (设备) in education but ignore the costs,” said Patricia Greenfield from the University of California, “losing the ability to understand the emotions of other people is one of the costs.” Greenfield and her research team did an experiment. They worked with 105 children who spent about 4.5 hours in front of screens on a school day. The students were asked to describe the emotions towards the pictures of people who were happy, sad, angry or scared. Then, half of them attended a five-day nature and science camp. There they had no smart phones, TV, or computers. The other half stayed in school and spent the five days as usual. Five days later, all the children took the test again.

Students who had been to the camp got about 5 percent more answers correct than they had done before the camp. But the other group of students didn’t show much improvement. The study is not perfect in some ways, said the researchers. But scientists say that the study is still a warning for us.

“Emotional skills develop in practice and the brain develops through real interaction.” said Professor Taylor, a professor at the University of San Francisco.

Researchers talked to 2,000 parents of children aged 2-16 in the UK about what activities their children could do confidently. The results were surprising: Their children could use a tablet (平板电脑) (59%) and work a mobile phone (57%) more confidently than they could tie their shoe laces (鞋带) (53%)! So, spend more time away from mobile phones and computers if you want to be an understanding friend, and not a member of what the Daily Mail called “Generation Helpless”.

【1】According to Professor Greenfield, what is the consequence of using digital media in education?

A．Students don’t get along well with family members.

B．Students always make more mistakes when taking exams.

C．Students can’t catch up with others in schoolwork.

D．Students fail to know other people’s emotions.

【2】What do scientists think of the results of Greenfield’s experiment?

A．They are far from useful.

B．They are alarming for people.

C．They are quite surprising.

D．They need to be improved.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A．Students learned how to describe emotions in the experiment.

B．Most of the UK children couldn’t tie their shoe laces.

C．Students living without screens did much better in studies.

D．Overusing digital devices raised some worries.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Stay away from the Internet

B．Here comes a digital world

C．Screens are harmful to emotions

D．How people become addicted

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My dad got a new job. We had to pack up and move away from everything we were familiar with. There were so many changes. We came from the north, and now we were almost as far south as possible. We landed in South Florida, and we were total strangers. We moved over during the summer vacation, so I didn’t have to deal with school right away. Summer passed by while we unpacked, arranged furniture, found stores we liked, and adapted to the Sunshine State.

School was coming, and I was afraid of it. I was not an adventurous person. Being shy and quiet, I read a lot and did not make friends easily. My head was filled with fears and worries. Would I make friends? Would If it in? Would I survive in this strange new world? Anyway, there I was, attending a new school full of people I didn’t know.

I had a difficult time adapting to the new school. However, I still loved learning and reading. I even loved homework, and I was good at doing my homework. Loving books and reading helped me to get good grades. Teachers loved that about me. Other kids, though, did not. Although I always answered questions in class, I seldom talked with my classmates. I was unpopular. I felt like a total failure and nobody would like me.

The none day, at all boy walked over to me after an English class. He introduced himself and told me he was in the school basketball team. I knew him—he was the star player! “Hey,” he said. “You do really well in English class. And you know, my teammates and I spend much time competing and practicing. The subjects, especially English, really bother us. Do you think you could help us?” “Yes. Oh, definitely yes. I could, and I would,” I replied with surprise. We made the deal with an exchange of smiles.
