The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War. It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras (交响乐团). It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly. At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years. Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by littleknown writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh. Today the “Fringe”， once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big. A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold. 1. What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning? A. To bring Europe together again. B. To honor heroes of World War Ⅱ. C. To introduce young theatre groups. D. To attract great artists from Europe. 2. Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947? A. They owned a public house there. B. They came to take up a challenge. C. They thought they were also famous. D. They wanted to take part in the festival. 3. Who joined the “Fringe” after it appeared? A. Popular writers. B. University students. C. Artists from around the world. D. Performers of music and dance. 4. We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival ________. A. has become a nonofficial event B. has gone beyond an art festival C. gives shows all year round D. keeps growing rapidly [文章大意] 本文介绍了英国爱丁堡的艺术节。 1．A。考查细节理解。由第一段最后一句可知，举办爱丁堡艺术节的目的是让欧洲人民在二战后团结起来。 2．D。考查细节理解。由第三段第二句可知，8 个剧组于 1947 年在未受到邀请的情况下参加了这次音乐节， 他们是带着每个人都有权表演的信念来的。D 项符合文意。 3．B。考查细节理解。由第四段可知，先是爱丁堡大学的学生，后来便是牛津、剑桥、达勒姆和伯明翰的 大学的学生，他们纷纷来到苏格兰首府表演。故本题选 B。 4．D。考查推理判断。由倒数第二段可知，该节日曾经不被承认，但现在已经成为持续 21 天、每天都有约 1,500 种表演的盛大的艺术节。 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 【2015 高考复习】阅读理解 Two things I really believe in—saving money and saving the planet，and it's even better when I can do something that accomplishes both at the same time. Rainwater harvesting is just such a thing.In the near future，rainwater harvesting will be as common as twelveyearold girls carrying cell phones. Many countries already rely heavily on rainwater.Bermuda，for example，every building on the small island collects the rainwater from its roof and stores it for later use.However， America_is_just_slightly_behind_the_curve. There are many ways you can begin harvesting rainwater and most of them are easy and inexpensive.Use rain barrels to collect the water that would run off of your roof.You'd be surprised how fast a fiftygallon barrel will fill with free，usable water.New building construction offers some good ways to gather rainwater，and the cost of installation is usually offset by reduced usage very quickly.Roof drains can be piped into underground tanks，where a pump can draw it up as needed. The rainwater can even be treated to make it drinkable...but wait—there's more！If that rainwater were not collected，but allowed to run over your lawn，into the street and eventually to a stormwater treatment facility，it would pick up all sorts of pollutants on its journey—fertilizers and pesticides from the grass，motor oil，antifreeze and such from the roads， and who knows what else. Depending on where you live，the stormwater may be piped to a treatment plant or it may run in natural channels to allow nature to remove the pollutants.Either way，the treatment of stormwater is costly.If you reduce the amount of stormwater runoff from your home or office，you reduce the need for treatment. Water is rapidly becoming one of our most precious resources and it is not as abundant as you may think.In the year 2000，the United States used approximately 326 billion gallons of fresh water per day. 20．What does the underlined sentence “America is just slightly behind the curve” mean? A．Americans don't show interest in harvesting rainwater. B．There is no need for Americans to harvest rainwater. C．Harvesting rainwater in America is not that common. D．Americans can't collect rainwater from the roof correctly. 答案 C [句意理解题。从第三段“Many countries already rely heavily on rainwater.Bermuda，for example...However...”可知，美国的情况与 Bermuda 相反，在利用雨水这方面还跟不上潮流。故选 C 项。] 21．According to the passage，harvesting rainwater can ________. A．benefit you economically and ecologically 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 B．benefit your health and the surroundings around C．promote the development of economy and peace D．make us live a better life in the near future 答案 A [细节理解题。从第一段“Two things I really believe in—saving money and saving the planet”可知， 收集雨水，无论从经济上还是环保方面都是非常有益的。故选 A。] 22．What is the fourth paragraph mainly concerned with?

D．How to harvest rainwater effectively. 答案 D [主旨大意题。从第四段“There are many ways you can begin harvesting rainwater and most of them are easy and inexpensive”可知，该段主要讲的是如何收集雨水，故选 D。] 23．It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A．it is not easy to make rainwater drinkable B．the author calls on people to harvest rainwater C．the stormwater cannot be made drinkable D．people can treat the stormwater very easily 答案 B [推理判断题。从最后一段的“Water is rapidly becoming one of our most precious resources and it is not as abundant as you may think”可推断出来，作者建议我们收集雨水，故选 B。] 【2015 高考复习】阅读理解 What is the most popular food in western countries? If you are not sure, statistics might give you the answer. Every year，some 20 million people walk into restaurants and buy 2 billion sandwiches. Americans alone eat more than 1 billion sandwiches annually. If you lined up all the sandwiches Westerners eat in a year, they would go around the world 13 times! When John Montagu made the very first sandwich in England in 1762, he couldn't have imagined that it would still be very popular almost 250 years later.
