Live at Leeds Festival, the United Kingdom
A weekend of indie music taking over Leeds for one day in May, Metronomy, Sundara Karma and Tom Grennan will headline, but there’s a focus on the city’s newer bands, with the festival aiming to bring new artists into the spotlight. Events take place across the city, with wristbands giving you access to all the places. And to go to this festival, you need to be over 14 years old.
Time: 4 May
Midnight Sun Film Festival, Finland
Almost a hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle, Sodankylä is where Finnish film director brothers Aki and Mika Kaurismäki rock up every summer for their Midnight Sun Film Festival, a fivedayandnight celebration of new cinema. A mix of silent films, contemporary Finnish ones, recent festival hits and boxoffice classics are screened around the clock.
Time: 12-16 June
Fuji Rock Festival, Japan
The first ever Fuji Rock Festival was held at the bottom of Mount Fuji back in 1997 and has brought in music and rock fans from all over the world. The 23rd Fuji Rock Festival is now held in the Naeba Ski Resort. The artists who perform aren’t all rockers. Your wristband has to be checked at the entrance. We offer facilities for children, but they can’t be left unaccompanied.
Time: 26-28 July
The White Nights Festival, St. Petersburg, Russia
The White Nights Festival is held at the city’s famous Mariinsky Theatre and shows some of the world’s best opera and ballet. It’s the best time to visit St. Petersburg because it’s held during the magical summer period when there’s almost 24 hours of sunlight a day.
Time: 11 May-31 July

(2020·合肥第二次质检)
In today’s society, language plays a key role in defining gender(性别) by vocabulary, and also the nonverbal(非语言的)
12
vocabulary. Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.
Many different studies show that men tend to talk much more than women. It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men. This is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are, and also have the ability to speak more clearly, precisely, and more quickly than men. In one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting, as opposed to the thirteenminute average it took men to describe it.
Men and women also tend to have a very different nonverbal way of communicating, which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say. Men’s body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women. Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them. Men avoid other people’s body space while talking, and they also tend to sit back when talking. All of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom. Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation.
Women also make it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral. After learning about our styles of communicating with each other, I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating, what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language”? The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost. The question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex, “I wonder if there’s something there?” would no longer exist.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文,主要介绍了男性和女性因性别差异而导致在沟通方式上也有所不同的现象。
4.What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.The differences between men’s and women’s languages.
B.The different speed of men’s and women’s speech.
C.The ability of men’s and women’s spoken language.
D.The nonverbal vocabulary of men and women.
B 解析:代词指代题。由This承接第二段中的“It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men.”可知,此处的This指代女性比男性说话快的现象,故选B。
5.In what way do men and women differ according to the third paragraph?
12
A.Speed of understanding.
B.Understanding of speech roles.
C.Politeness of communication.
D.Application of body language.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段的整体内容,尤其是该段第二句“Men’s body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women.”可推知,本段主要讲的是男性和女性在非语言表达方式上的不同,即肢体语言使用上的差异,故选D。
6.What is the author’s attitude to the differences between men’s and women’s communication?
A.Cautious. B.Favorable.
C.Ambiguous. D.Skeptical.
B 解析:观点态度题。根据最后一段第二句和第三句“After learning about our styles of communicating with each other, I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating, what fun would it be if we all spoke the same ‘language’? The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost.”可推知,作者对男性和女性在沟通的差异性上持赞成态度,故选B。cautious“谨慎的”;favorable“赞成的”;ambiguous“模棱两可的”;skeptical“怀疑的”。
7.What is the best title for the text?

Here are a few schools’ crazycreative traditions that will probably have you wish to go there so you could celebrate in all the graduation fun. Learn about them all in the below.
Attire(服装) and Flowers at College of Charleston
You fashionista will love this one. During the December ceremony, women wear black dresses and men wear black tuxedos(无尾礼服). During the May ceremony, women wear white dresses and men wear summer tuxedos. It’s also been a tradition since the 1930s to carry flowers onto the stage:women carry bouquets of six red roses in a red bow and men wear a single red rose boutonniere(胸花). So classy!
Hoop Rolling at Wellesley College
This allwomen’s college tradition was originally held on May Day, but it’s now held in April. The purpose was to allow students to essentially leave all their
12
worries behind and just participate in some fun games outdoors. Back in the day, it was said that the winner of the hoop rolling race was the first to be married, and in the 1980s she would be the first to be a CEO. Nowadays, the winner would be the first to achieve her own happiness...that is, after being thrown into Lake Waban by all her classmates.
Fabric and Green Grad Recycling Program at the University of New Hampshire
You’ll absolutely love this tradition. UNH’s vendor provides wrinkleresistant caps and gowns made of recycled plastic bottles. Graduates then have the opportunity to donate their gowns to be cleaned and reused. Graduates are still able to keep their caps and tassels as keepsakes, all while helping to save the environment.

(2020·石家庄重点高中摸底)Every year around the world, humans waste an estimated 1.3 billion tons of food. This happens even though many people go hungry. So some people have made it their life’s work claiming food before it goes to waste and then giving it to people who are hungry.
One of those people is Brett Myers. In 2011, Myers started Nourish Now, a food recovery and food bank in the US state of Maryland. This nonprofit organization collects food and then gives it to the poor and organizations that support them.
“Nourish Now is a food recoverybased food bank that recovers food from restaurants, catering companies, grocery stores, hotels, farms and more. And then it donates that food directly to families in need, kids in need at local schools.”
Each month, it recovers more than 20,000 kilograms of food and serves 700 needy families, schools and social organizations. Every day, staff and volunteers repackage the donations and distribute them to recipients(接受者).
A woman named Rhoda is one of the recipients. She describes the quality of the food delivered to her family by Nourish Now. “It consists of fresh food, fruits and vegetables. You will get bread. Sometimes you get dairy products such as yogurt or milk. And you will get some meat items also. And if you get lucky you might get cooked food, or prepared salads, and stuff like that.”
The supplies can feed a family for five days. Each recipient is able to receive food every 30 days. And the packages are made to fit the dietary needs of each family.
Besides families, the organization also donates small meals called snacks to several nearby schools and social organizations.
Nourish Now has grown considerably since it opened. Brenda is one of them. Part of her job as a volunteer is to make sure that none of the food goes to waste.
“In the morning, I make sure that all the things that came late yesterday get put away so that we use that last, and we used the things that came the day before first, so that we’re always giving fresh food and we’re not throwing out anything.”
【解题导语】 针对每年大量食物被浪费的现状,Brett Myers 在美国马里兰州成立了一个名为Nourish Now的非营利食物银行组织,该组织收集剩余的食物捐赠给贫困人群和供养贫困人群的组织。
4.What do we know about Nourish Now?
A.It donates money to the poor.
B.It benefits from collecting food.
12
C.It gets food from many places.
D.It distributes food only to the poor.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Nourish Now is a food recoverybased food bank that recovers food from restaurants, catering companies, grocery stores, hotels, farms and more.”可知,Nourish Now是一个以食物回收为基础的食物银行,从餐馆、餐饮公司、杂货店、酒店、农场等回收食物。故选C项。
5.What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Nourish Now. B.Food banks.
C.The poor. D.Organizations.
C 解析:代词指代题。根据第二段尾句“This nonprofit organization collects food and then gives it to the poor and organizations that support them.”可知,该非营利组织收集食物,然后把食物送给穷人和供养他们的组织。据此可推知,画线词them指代该句中的the poor,故选C项。
6.What does the author want to clarify with the example Rhoda in Paragraph 5?
A.She can get food donations every five days.
B.She isn’t satisfied with the food supplied.
C.Eating better can keep people healthier.
D.The recovered food is fresh and rich.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据第五段Rhoda所说的话可知,她得到的食物有新鲜的水果和蔬菜,还会得到面包、乳制品以及肉类等;据此可推知,作者以Rhoda为例是为了说明收集的食物新鲜且种类丰富,故选D项。
7.What is the best title for the text?
A.A Group Uses Leftover Food to Feed the Hungry
B.The Poor Are Suffering from Starvation
C.Nourish Now Calls on People to Save Food
D.People Should Take Care of the Weak
A 解析:标题归纳题。根据第二段并结合全文其他内容可知,本文主要介绍了非营利组织Nourish Now从各个地方收集剩余的食物以捐赠给需要帮助的人,故选A项。
Ⅱ.读后续写
(2020·山东泰安期末)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。续写的词数应为150左右。
Sometimes love is more powerful than doctors, and my dad proved that.
Many years ago, my dad, an artist, suffered from heart disease. He was unable to work for a long time. He would be fine for a while, but would then fall suddenly
12
ill and have to be admitted to the hospital. However, he still wanted to do something to keep himself busy, so he decided to volunteer at the local children’s hospital. My dad loved kids. It was the perfect job for him. He ended up working with the seriously ill children. He would talk, play, and do arts with them.
One of his kids was a girl with a rare disease that paralyzed(瘫痪) her from the neck down. She couldn’t walk. She couldn’t do anything. She was very sad. My dad decided to try to help her. He started visiting her in her room,bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint pictures. He didn’t use his hands at all. All the while he would tell her,“See, with more practice,you can work wonders(创造奇迹), too.”
At the end of the day, she began to paint using her mouth, and she and my dad became friends. Soon after, the little girl was sent home because the doctors felt there was nothing else they could do to save her. My dad also left the children’s hospital for a little while because he became ill.
Paragraph 1:
Three years later, my dad had completely recovered and decided to do volunteering again.________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:
In the next hour, the girl told my dad how she became healthy again._________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Three years later, my dad had completely recovered and decided to do volunteering again. One day he returned to that local children’s hospital and went to the room where the sick girl used to stay. Of course, the girl wasn’t there. He felt sad, thinking he would never see her again. Suddenly, the door opened and in walked a
12
girl. It was the girl he had missed so much!She walked straight over to my dad and hugged him tightly. She gave him a picture she had painted with her hands.
Paragraph 2:
In the next hour, the girl told my dad how she became healthy again. She said she never thought she could walk one day. It was my dad’s love and encouragement that helped her work wonders. She learned to face her difficulty bravely and kept on practicing walking and painting every day.“Without your love and help, I could never walk again,”said the girl thankfully. Now, you see, love can really be more powerful than doctors at times.
