Earth Day is celebrated every year on April 22.Take some time to find out

about how one man, who was determined to change the way we treated our planet, didn't stop until he had made a difference.

In 1963, Senator Gaylord Nelson wasn't happy with the earth's condition.He wanted to clean up the planet, solve pollution and environmental problems.A senator (参议员) is someone US citizens choose to help make laws, so Gaylord had a lot of power.He went to John F.Kennedy, the President at the time, with his ideas.The President agreed that the planet's environment was a serious issue, so President Kennedy went around the country on a five-day tour to promote the idea of cleaning up the planet.People began making small changes but it wasn't enough.

A few years later, Senator Nelson decided to put one day aside every year for the cause of saving the planet.On April 22,1970, the first Earth Day was celebrated.More than 20 million people took part in Earth Day activities in 1970.Since then, Earth Day has become an international holiday.People all over the world are doing something to make the Earth a cleaner, better place.

A rock band named Dramarama wrote a song about Earth Day in 1993 called WhatAreWeGonnaDo.Encouraging your family to recycle on a regular basis is a good way to help the Earth.

Full of beauty, happiness and a healthy love of life, the Bulgarian (保加利亚人的) festivals and customs date back to old time when man tried to live in peace with nature.The merriest and richest festivals are Christmas and the New Y ear, when the so-called “sourvakari” makes the round of house with wi shes for health and wealth.Other main festivals include “ladouvane” — a holiday for young girls on New Year's Day or Midsummer Day (24th June), Shrovetide and Mummers' Games which mark the start of spring, and “lazrouvane” — a traditional festival for love and family, health and richness.And among them, the widely popular and typical Bulgarian customs and festivals are “martenitsas” and rose-picking.

Every year on March 1st, the Bulgarians give each other “martenitsas” — a small doll made of white and red strings, a symbol of the beginning of spring, health and happiness.

In late May and early June every year, the rose-picking season starts in the Valley of Roses which is between the Balkan Range and the Sredna Gora Mountains.Rose-picking starts at dawn, before sunrise and before the pleasant smell of the rose has disappeared.The Bulgarian rose produces 70 percent of the world's rose oil which is used by the very well-known perfume (香水) company as a basic element of its products.This is the time of the Festival of Roses, celebrated with carnivals, happy activities, folk songs and dances in Karlovo and Kazanluk on the first Sunday in June.

One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency.You know, you would be submerged (淹没) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely.We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.

The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive (印象深刻的).We look forward to going there again! Of course, we spent lots of time arranging (安排) the trip, but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa, but everything went quite smoothly in the end.

The most difficult part was getting a visa (签证) without an invitation.In the Italian consulate (领事馆), one must hand in some official papers proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa.Then we had to solve the ticket problem.Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in

advance.The next step was to book a hotel.We finally booked a hotel about 30km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.

Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome.Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest, was a rare place for the fresh air and absolute silence, beautiful views, hospitable hosts, comfortable living conditions delighting us to no end.Besides this, we were very lucky that our mistress was a Russian.She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use.She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.

Don't be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself.It's not difficult! The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves.We walked with a map and a guide-book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times.So, if you're also planning a “single” trip, don't forget to take a Russian-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue.

语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者和他的朋友策划的意大利之行。文章介绍了旅游前的准备工作,如自己如何取得签证,还有在意大利旅游时当地的住宿条件,以及自己策划意大利之旅的优点以及感受。

29.Why does the author want to go to Italy again?

A.Because he had a great time there.

B.Because Italy has a lot of attractions.

C.Because his friend invited him there.

D.Because he didn't stay in Italy long enough.

解析:选A细节理解题。根据第二段“The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive (印象深刻的). We look forward to going there again!”结合第四段的内容以及最后一段中的“The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves.”可知,意大利之行他们玩得很尽兴,给他们留下了深刻的印象,所以想再去意大利,因此选A。

30.What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip?

A.Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before the traveling.

B.Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate.

C.Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome.

D.Solving the ticket problem far in advance.

解析:选B细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“The most difficult part was getting a visa (签证) without an invitation.”可知,最难的事情是在没有邀请函的情况下向意大利大使馆申请签证,因此选择B。

A、C、D虽然文中都涉及了,但是都不符合题干要求。

31.In the fourth paragraph the author mainly explains________.

A.the reason why he chose to live in the center of Rome

B.the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice

C.what transport they chose to travel in their Italian trip

D.the reason why the mistress gave them some advice

解析:选B细节理解题。根据第四段对旅馆周围环境、交通情况以及该旅馆的好处的介绍可知,作者在第四段主要讲对旅馆满意的原因。

32.From the text we can know the author________.

A.enjoys traveling everywhere in the world

B.likes being accompanied by tour guides

C.advises us to arrange trips by ourselves

D.met with a lot of his countrymen in Italy

解析:选C推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容,尤其是第一段说不想在旅游团的拥挤的人群中,也不想错过更多亲近意大利的机会,以及最后一段的“Don't be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself.”可以推断出应该选择C。其余选项没有依据。

D

Next Thursday, November 27th (the fourth Thursday in November), Americans will gather with family and friends to share a big meal to celebrate Thanksgiving.They might play games, tell stories or watch football on television together.

Angelo Rosa has more Thanksgiving memories than most people.From Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania, the 100-year-old man lives in the same house where he celebrated a great number of Thanksgivings.

But he says it was different when he was a child.Mr Rosa was just three when his family came to America.“When we were small children, Thanksgiving was never a very big holiday because at the time we

actually didn't pay too much attention to it.” But, also, he says, his parents faced a language difficulty.“They were from Italy and spoke very broken English, because they were the first generation that came over here.”

And the family had little money.There were six Rosa children.Mr Rosa's father was a coal miner in Pennsylvania.The family was not able to have big, costly dinners, especially during the hard time of the 1930's.But Mr Rosa says Thanksgiving dinners became a tradition in his own family after he married and had children.

This Thanksgiving, Angelo Rosa will go to the home of his daughter about twenty minutes away. He will celebrate the day with loved ones, including his great-grandchildren.

On the other side of the country, Cathie Dahlstrom is preparing dishes for a group of 35 to 40 people in Concord, California.We asked Ms Dahlstrom what she is thankful for this year, her first answer is “The election”. She said she also is deeply grateful for her very large family.Ms Dahlstrom has one daughter.She has five younger brothers and sisters.She also has eight stepbrothers and sisters.Many of them and their families will be at the Thanksgiving dinner.

语篇解读:本文通过对两个家庭的叙述得知:感恩节就是家庭成员、亲戚的团聚,而不是旅游冒险,也不是不同代之间的相会。

33.From Ms Dahlstrom's words, we can infer that________.

A.she is content with her family, relatives and the society

B.she is thankful for her effort in the election and her family

C.she has always been celebrating Thanksgiving this way

D.her daughter has a large family with stepbrothers and sisters

解析:选A推理判断题。Ms Dahlstrom有两个感激:“总统选举”和“大家庭”,由此推断出她无论对社会还是对家庭都是充满感激和爱的。

34.As a whole, Thanksgiving in America is________.

A.a happy gathering with family members, relatives and friends

B.a grand family dinner party as well as a tourist holiday

C.a great social gathering of entertainment and achievement

D.a large gathering of people of different generations

解析:选A细节理解题。对文中这两个家庭的大致叙述,不难看出,感恩节就是家庭成员、亲戚的团聚,而不是旅游、冒险,也不是不同代人之间的相会。

35.Who probably wrote the passage?

A.A close friend of Mr Rosa and Ms Dahlstrom's.

B.A journalist for a radio or TV station.

C.A university student who majors in history.

D.An actress who wants to experience real life.

解析:选B推理判断题。文中数次出现直接引语,在最后一段中出现了“We asked”。由此判断出采访形式是广播或电视节目报道。

Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards.These are very important and again you can spend a lot of time making them.__40__ Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.

参考词汇:入侵invasion

Is it right for young people to celebrate foreign festivals such as Valentine's Day, April Fool's Day and Christmas Day?_______________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________

参考范文:

Is it right for young people to celebrate foreign festivals such as Valentine's Day, April Fool's Day and Christmas Day? Some people say yes. They think that celebrating foreign festivals is a fashionable activity because it helps not only to make friends but also to gain more knowledge about foreign culture.

Others, however, don't think so. They believe that it is foolish for the Chinese to celebrate foreign festivals, which will greatly affect people's feelings on our own traditional festivals. Some people even consider it as a culture invasion.

As for me, I don't think foreign festivals are very bad things. In fact, the world is becoming “smaller” — people all over the world are becoming a big family. On the other hand, I think we should pay more attention to our own traditional festivals, because they are part of the root of our Chinese culture.

M: Good evening, everybody. I'm George. I'm so glad that for today's programme, we have J.K. Rowling to share with us how she became a famous writer. Let's welcome her.

W: Hi, everybody. I'm J.K. Rowling. I'm so glad to be here. Actually, I began writing stories at the age of six and always daydreamed of becoming a writer. In 1990, when I was stuck for four hours on a train, I dreamt of a boy called “Harry Potter”. Before I started to write about Harry Potter, my husband left me and our three-month-old daughter. So I decided to start writing novels to have a new life and wrote my first Harry Potter novel. I sent my novel to a lot of publishing houses. They doubted my writing skills and rejected me. This went on until the year 1996, when the Bloomsbury publishing house agreed to help me. In 1997, Harry Potter was published, and the character soon became one of children's most favorite characters. We had to print more copies several times. In 1998, in the month of February, my very first novel was awarded the British Book Award for “Children's Book of the Year”.

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

A

You can deal with winter in two ways: Escape it or embrace it. Watching people dive into snow — in nothing but bathing suits and boots — I'm guessing these people choose to do the latter.

The seasonal madness is part of the Quebec Winter Carnival, now in its

62nd year, said to be the world's largest winter festival. About a half-million people each year come to Quebec City to delight in frigid (寒冷的) fashion.

“We embrace winter,”said Paule Bergeron of Quebec City Tourism.“It's time to play.” The carnival runs from Jan. 29 to Feb. 14, with dozens of events. I went last year for a few frigid days, staying at the Hilton Quebec, in the thick of the downtown action. Families are a big part of the carnival. What attract kids are things like ice-fishing at a man-made pond stocked with fish, where if you catch something, you can pay to have it smoked and eat it, or donate it to a food bank.

It's a good chance to experience the culture of this European-feeling city, and nowhere is more evident than in Bonhomme, the carnival's goodwill ambassador, a living avatar (化身) in the form of a giant snowman with a human inside gliding (滑行) around the festivities.

There are two night parades at the carnival. I attended the second one last year, the night before the carnival's close. The streets were lined with thousands of people in a gentle snow and bitter cold, watching local dancers and school groups glide by. In the end, Bonhomme's float came into view, and kids in the crowd went crazy. As the parade ended, thousands followed behind it, becoming part of the Quebec Winter Carnival's magic and madness. And with a cup of milk in my hand, I realized that for once, not only did I not mind winter, I embraced it.

语篇解读:本文为说明文。作者亲历了魁北克冬季狂欢节的盛况,感受了人们冬天的激情和活力。

A.It is held to attract visitors.

B.It has a history of less than 60 years.

C.It is mainly intended to entertain kids.

22.Who is Bonhomme?

A.It is a giant snowman.

B.It is a famous star in Quebec.

C.It is the goodwill ambassador of the carnival.

23.We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.

A.kids love to see Bonhomme

B.the carnival ends with two parades

C.the parades are the maddest part of the carnival

D.people attend the parades mainly to see Bonhomme

24.The author attended the carnival probably as ________.

Visitors to this year's Smithsonian Folklife Festival can explore the music, history, art and food of Wales. This small country in the United Kingdom is known for its music, sports, beautiful natural areas and ancient history. Visitors to the festival can also learn about the country's language and industry.

Visitors to the Smithsonian Folklife Festival can start their exploration of Wales by learning about its native language, Welsh. Welsh is one of the oldest languages in the world.The first lesson to learn is the Welsh word for Wales: Cymru.

Festival visitors can learn more from Iona Hughes, a Welsh teacher in the country's capital, Cardiff. Welsh and English are now the official languages of Wales. But people there did not always support the use of Welsh. Today, about twenty percent of the population of Wales speaks the language fluently. Iona Hughes said, “It's quite wonderful to see how the language has developed and how the language has grown especially in the last thirty years. I remember as a child actually saying that Welsh was a dying language, and now I'm proud to say that actually it isn't — it's a thriving (欣欣向荣的) language.”

The Welsh people are serious about language and the spoken word. They hold competitions to celebrate their language in literature and music.

Wales is also known for its natural beauty. It has hundreds of lakes and over one thousand kilometres of coastline.

The festival events also tell about Welsh industries. You can see an expert make thread out of wool from a sheep. Or you might learn about traditional Welsh building materials like slate (板岩).And, no visit to Wales would be complete without a pub (酒吧) where people can sit down and drink a beer.

语篇解读:本文是说明文,介绍了威尔士的一些情况。

25.From Paragraph 1 we can learn that Wales ________.

A.is very big in size

A.Most Welsh people speak it well in daily life.

B.Some Welsh people show no interest in it.

C.It is the only official language of Wales.

D.It is the oldest language in the world.

解析:选B正误判断题。根据第三段第三句可知,并不是所有的英国人都喜欢威尔士语,故B项正确。根据第三段第四句可知,现在的威尔士人会说威尔士语的很少了,故A项错误;根据第三段第二句可知,威尔士语和英语都是威尔士的官方语言,因此C项错误;根据第二段第二句可知,威尔士语不是最古老的,而是其中之一,故D项错误。

27.What Iona Hughes said shows that ________.

A.she is an expert in Welsh

B.she has studied Welsh for 30 years

C.she has done a lot for the development of Welsh

D.she has a different opinion on Welsh than before

解析:选D推理判断题。Iona Hughes说到她小时候认为威尔士语是一种即将灭亡的语言,现在认为它是欣欣向荣的语言,由此可推知,她对威尔士语有了不同的认识。

28.The passage is mainly written to ________.

A.explain why Wales is famous

B.persuade readers to visit Wales

C.introduce something about Wales

D.introduce Smithsonian Folklife Festival

解析:选C主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了威尔士的一些情况,因此C项是最佳选项。

C

People are always excited whenever they hear the word “free”.The reason behind this is that the prices of all items (物品) in the market are rising and it is already lucky if the prices went down. One item that is included in the list of items that are being given away for free is free baby magazines.

There is no magazine stall that doesn't sell it. In a typical setting, baby magazines are never sold at a lower price unlike fashion magazines because of its content. The content of free baby magazines is not just taken anywhere; they are fruit of personal experience of parents.

Free baby magazines are popular especially in Western countries mainly because of promotional (促销的) reasons. The result is either they are promoting the magazine itself or companies of baby items are promoting their products inside that magazine. So they are still making money out of it even though they say that it is for free. Producers of baby items look at magazines as a positive way to encourage the readers to buy their products. It has a hidden tag (标签) that says,“Buy me; I'm perfect for your baby.”

Parents are always looking for reference when it comes to giving the best for their babies. They sometimes look up the Internet or ask friends. However, a lot of people say that the best way to know the most believable information is by reading baby magazines because they are selected from and based on real information. This is actually the reason why baby magazines are such a hit among mothers of any age.

Another thing about free baby magazines is that they give less information for free. By the time they give out their free magazines, satisfied parents might buy more or introduce it to other parents. Magazine publishers will be able to get more advertisers and writers that would make their magazines more interesting.

语篇解读:婴儿杂志被免费地分发给读者。不是因为该杂志质量不好,而是出版商通过免费发放杂志,促销了多种婴儿产品,结果使生意做得更好。

29.Why are baby magazines not sold at a lower price?

A.They are more like fashion magazines.

B.Their content comes from best magazines.

C.They are suitable for a typical setting.

D.They have best experience of parents.

Until New York's Chrysler Building was completed in 1930, the Eiffel

Tower was the tallest structure in the world.Located by the river Seine, on an avenue named after its designer, this 985-foot (300-meter) tower is the most famous edifice (宏伟建筑) in the city of Paris.Gustave Eiffel's idea was certainly chosen from among 700 proposals (提议) to represent the city in the International Exhibition of Paris in 1889.It commemorated (纪念) the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution.

In 1887, three hundred steel workers spent two years constructing the 7,000-ton tower.Yet, it was almost torn down two decades after its completion.Luckily, its antenna (天线), used for telegraphy at the time, saved https://www.360docs.net/doc/645955026.html,st July, it looked to observers as though the tower might be destroyed after all, as ominous (不吉利的) black clouds of smoke encircled the structure.Luck was again smiling upon the tower:the fire turned out to be a small one that was quickly put out by attendants on duty.

To date, more than 200 million people have visited the Eiffel Tower.However, it has not always been a beloved tourist attraction.At first, Parisians despised it.Its architectural style and metallic composition were not considered pleasing.Today, the Eiffel Tower is adorned (装饰) with special lights that sparkle for ten minutes each hour, from sunset until one am.If you happen to be passing by, look up at this breathtaking monument for an astonishing sight.The Eiffel Tower, composed of iron and steel, is greater than the sum of its parts.

解析:选B细节理解题。文章第二段第二句话说埃菲尔铁塔建成20年后差一点被拆掉,而它建成于1889年,因此选B。

35.At first, what did Parisians think about the tower?

A.The steel and iron parts were unimpressive.

B.The awe-inspiring design was attracting.

C.Both A and B are correct.

D.Neither A nor B is correct.
