Here are some wonderful festivals around the world that happen in spring.‎ ‎ SongKran--Thailand ‎ Dates: 13th-15th, April ‎ In Thailand, it’s time to celebrate the coming monsoon season, which will bring the rain many people have been looking forward to. They celebrate it with a festival called Songkran，when people head out to the streets with water guns to spray(喷，洒）everyone who walks past. If you walk on the streets where the festival is celebrated, prepare to get soaked!‎ ‎ Naghol--Vanuatu ‎ Dates: Every Saturday from April to May ‎ Every year, villagers come together to celebrate the harvest of yams, an important part in the people’s diet in Vanuatu. The festival is most famous for its “land diving ceremony”. During the ceremony men and boys dive to the ground from high wooden towers with only two thin vines(藤条)‎ ‎ attached to their ankles(脚踝). The divers’ heads have to lightly touch the ground when they jump---something very dangerous if the vines are not measured properly.‎ Cherry Blossom Viewing ---Japan ‎ Dates: The cherry blossom season is different from year to year depending on the weather forecast.‎ ‎ The cherry blossom season has huge importance to the people of Japan, who celebrate the days when the flowers finally blossom. Only a few days later, the petals(花瓣）fall to the ground, like pink snowflakes. This is one of the most beautiful things to see. In Japan, almost everyone has picnics in the parks to view the flowers.‎ ‎21. What does the underlined word “soaked” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ ‎ A. tired       B. interested     C. wet       D. crazy ‎22. The writer thinks that the “land diving ceremony” can be dangerous for the divers because ___________.‎ ‎ A. the divers may injure their heads if the vines aren’t measured properly B. the divers’ ankles may get injured if the vines are tied too tightly C. the divers may fall onto the ground if the thin vines break ‎ D. the divers may bump into(撞在…上)the wooden tower on the way down ‎23. We can learn from the passage that__________________.‎ ‎ A. people usually stay at home for celebration during the cherry blossom season B. the time for the Cherry Blossom Celebration in Japan can be different yearly C. the Cherry Blossom Celebration usually lasts a long time in Japan ‎ D. the Cherry Blossom Celebration is the most important festival in Japan B It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth(收费站). “I'm paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”‎ It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend’s refrigerator: “Practice random(随意的) kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.‎ Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why she’d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn't know where it came from or what it really meant.‎ Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.‎ ‎“Here’s the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”‎ The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!‎ ‎24. Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?‎ A. She knew the car drivers well. B. She wanted to show kindness.‎ C. She hoped to please others. D. She had seven tickets.‎ ‎25. Judy Foreman copied down the phrase because she 　　　.‎ A. thought it was beautifully written ‎ B. wanted to know what it really meant C. decided to write it on a warehouse wall ‎ D. wanted her husband to put it up in the classroom ‎26. Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence above?‎ A. Kindness and violence can change the world. ‎ B. Kindness and violence can affect one’s behavior.‎ C. Kindness and violence can shape one’s character.‎ D. Kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.‎ ‎27. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A. People should practice random kindness to those in need.‎ B. People who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.‎ C. People should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.‎ D. People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.‎ ‎ C Ecuador is located in the western corner at the top of the South American continent. Ecuador，the smallest country in South America，is named after the Equator (赤道)，the imaginary line around the Earth that divides the country into two. Most of the country is in the Southern Hemisphere(半球)．Ecuador is about the size of Colorado and is bordered by the South American countries Colombia and Peru. The Galapagos Islands, 596 miles west of the mainland of Ecuador，are part of Ecuador and are home to many unique birds and plants. The Costa, or coastal plain region, is where many of the world’s bananas are grown. The Sierra is also made up of farmland. The Oriente is east of the Andes and is rich in oil.‎ Ecuador is considered to be one of the most diverse(多样的) areas of the world. There are some 25,000 plant species and over 1,600 known bird species. Ecuador has nine national parks，including the Galapagos Islands. These 18 islands are home to some of the most amazing creatures. This is where Charles Darwin noticed the diversity of species and began to study evolution.‎ Ecuador was part of the Inca Empire until the Spanish arrived and claimed the country as a Spanish colony. For three hundred years the Spanish controlled Ecuador. In 1822，Ecuador became independent of Spain.‎ About 10 percent of Ecuador’s population is of European origin. About 25 percent of the population belongs to native cultures and the rest is of mostly mixed ethnicity(混合民族)．Many of the native people are farmers and only grow enough food for their family.‎ ‎28．The passage mainly talks about________.‎ A. the geography, climate and plant species of Ecuador B. the natural environment and economy of Ecuador C. the geography, nature, history and population of Ecuador D. the nature, history and agriculture of Ecuador ‎29．What can we know from the passage?‎ A. Many special birds and plants can be seen in Ecuador.‎ B. Ecuador is mainly made up of farmland.‎ C. Ecuador is the largest producer of bananas around the world.‎ D. Ecuador is one of the largest exporters of oil in South America.‎ ‎30．It is implied in the passage that Ecuador’s diversity of species________.‎ A. attracts many visitors each year B. has made Ecuador famous all over the world C. led to the setting up of Ecuador’s national parks D. inspired Charles Darwin to study evolution ‎31．Which group makes up the main part of Ecuador’s population?‎ A. Natives. B. People of mixed ethnicity.‎ C. People of European origin. D. Spanish people.‎ D A black hole is created when a large star burns out. Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces(熔炉) that burn their own matter as fuel. When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die.‎ The death of a star is not a quiet event. First there is a huge explosion. As its outer layer is blasted off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns.‎ After the explosion, gravity pulls in what's left of the star. As the outside of the star sinks toward the center, the star gets smaller and smaller. The material the star is made of becomes tightly packed together. A star is so solid that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billion of pounds.‎ The more the star shrinks(收缩), the stronger the gravity inside it becomes. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! Since all the light is pulled in, none can go out. The star becomes black when there is no light. Then a black hole is born!‎ That's what we know about black holes. What we don't know is this: What happens inside a black hole after the star has been squeezed into a tiny ball? Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever? Such a possibility is hard to imagine.‎ But if the black hole doesn't keep shrinking, what happens to it? Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world. They say that as the star disappears from our universe, it goes into another universe. In other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a "white hole" in a different universe. As the black hole swallows(吞噬) light, the white hole shines brightly--somewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time--many years in the past or future.‎ Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed(挤压). So far the time being, black hole must remain a mystery.‎ Black holes are a mystery--but that hasn't stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes. They would supply all of Earth's energy needs, with plenty to spare. Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthly waste--a sort of huge waste disposal(处理) in the sky!‎ ‎32. When the star begins to die ______.‎ A. there is no fuel left in it B. a huge explosion will happen ‎ C. its outer layer goes into space first D. it doesn't give off light any longer ‎33. Which of the following doesn't help produce a black hole?‎ A. The dying star shines very brightly. ‎ B. The light can't go out of the star.‎ C. The star becomes smaller and smaller ‎ D. The gravity inside the star is very strong.‎ ‎34. The black hole ______.‎ A. continues becoming smaller and smaller all the time B. goes into another universe and becomes a white hole C. will appear at another place at a different time D. can pull in everything we know of in the world ‎35. What's the best title for this passage?‎ A. A New Scientific Discovery: Black Holes B. What Are Black Holes?‎ C. How Do Black Holes Come Into Being? D. Travel Through A Black Hole ‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎ NBA basketball players devote much of their lives to preparing for games. This preparation, which includes studying game films, practicing skills and treating injuries, is essential because of the pressure-packed nature of their profession. ‎ ‎ 36 Generally, on the day of a game, players get together in the morning for an hour shooting and also review films of the opponent(对手) of that night. 37 Players receive treatments for injuries, put on their uniforms, discuss strategies(策略) with coaches and warm up during the ‎ remaining time before the game gets underway. As thousands of people cheer them on, a team’s best players will play 40 or more minutes during the game. After the game, some players stick around to lift weights before showering and heading home.‎ ‎ 38 They must leave their families at home, spend hours on planes travelling around the country and try to stay rested while sleeping at a different hotel every night. The NBA’s 82-game regular season is tiring. 39 So many players focus on recuperating(恢复) for at least part of the off-season.
