Have you ever been to a music festival? Well if you live in the UK, the answer is probably yes. The number of festivals has grown greatly over the last few years and now there are around 200 every summer. So let’s look at the history of four famous festivals.

The festival first came to its present site on the banks of the River Thames in Reading in 1971, when it moved from Plumpton in Sussex. It is still on the same site over 47 years later!
WOMAD stands for World of Music, Arts and Dance and was the idea of rock musician Peter Gabriel to promote(宣传) world music. The WOMAD Festival started in 1982 and takes place in July at Charlton Park, near Malmesbury in Wiltshire, and you can see different bands and musicians from all over the world. The festival welcomes over 26, 000 visitors each year.
The one-day Monsters of Rock Festival at the National Bowl in Milton Keynes was first held in 1980 and gave visitors the chance to hear the very best of hard rock and heavy metal. There were no festivals between 1996 and 2003 as a result of changing musical fashions, but now it has returned and grown into a two-day festival with a campsite for the 30,000 people who go there in summer days.

Maggie had never experienced an earthquake before, only prepared for it. As long as she could remember, preparing for an earthquake was routine(常规的) at school. Her family as well had made plans in the event of a natural disaster. Earthquakes are so much more common on the West Coast of the United States.
Today Maggie was home alone. Maggie knew her mom would be driving home on the busy freeway, thinking
about preparing supper for Maggie’s dad. Maggie’s dad would arrive at the airport. He was coming home from a two-week business trip.
Maggie arrived home from school at the regular time. She was taking some biscuits from the kitchen cupboard, when she felt it. First just a tremor(微震), then the violent shaking. Maggie quickly ran under the large, wooden table in the dining room. The sounds of breaking glass and the crashing(坠落声) of many things were frightening. But the table remained undamaged, and Maggie hid herself in fear.
After what seemed like a century the earthquake appeared to be over. Maggie could hear the sound of water rushing below her in the basement. The smell of natural gas was present in the air. Maggie knew where the main water valve(阀门) was located. Dad had shown her where it was and how to turn it off. Slowly and carefully she came out from under the table. The once tidy home was now almost unrecognizable. As Maggie reached the open basement door she could see the steps were still in good condition. She carefully made her way down into the dark basement. While still on the steps she felt the water rising and rising. Suddenly Maggie felt a lot of pain as a large ceiling beam(天花板梁) hit her head and shoulder. She fell onto some storage boxes…
4. What do we know about Maggie and her family?
A. They lived in earthquake country.
B. They seldom prepared for an earthquake.
C. They had experienced an earthquake before.
D. They got an earthquake warning that morning.
5. What was Maggie doing when the earthquake took place?
A. She was about to clean her home.
B. She was about to enter her home.
C. She was looking for something to eat.
D. She was preparing supper for her family
6. Why did Maggie go to the basement?
A. To close the basement door.
B. To find some storage boxes.
C. To turn off the main water valve.
D. To check where the rising water came from.
7. What’s the text mainly about?
A. Maggie’s first trip to the West Coast.
B. Maggie’s first earthquake experience.
C. How Maggie survived a natural disaster.
D. How Maggie prepared for an earthquake.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. B
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了主人公Maggie的第一次遭遇地震的经历。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段“ ……preparing for an earthquake was routine(常规的) at school.Her family as well had made plans in the event of a natural disaster. Earthquakes are so much more common on the West Coast of the United States.”可知,学校教给遭遇地震的常规,她的家人也制定了应对自然灾害的计划。地震在美国西海岸更为常见。所以通过关键词“made plans in the event of a natural disaster,common on the West Coast of the United States”可以判断出,Maggie 和她的家人住在地震带国家。故选A项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段“ She was taking some biscuits from the kitchen cupboard”可知,Maggie正从厨房的碗橱里拿饼干。所以地震发生时,Maggie正在找吃的东西。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段“Maggie knew where the main water valve(阀门) was located. Dad had shown her where it was and how to turn it off”可知,Maggie 知道主水阀的位置。爸爸告诉过她它在哪儿,怎么关掉它。所以Maggie去地下室是为了关闭主水阀。故选C项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,Maggie以前从未经历过地震,但是有一天Maggie放学回家,正在找吃的东西时,大地开始晃动,玻璃在破碎,Maggie害怕地躲在桌子底下,这是听到地下室哗哗的流水声,她努力地前往地下室去关掉水阀时,地下室的水一直在上涨,这时天花板梁砸到了她的头。所以短文主要是关于Maggie的第一次遭遇地震的经历。故选B项。

These days, it seems like everyone wants to go out into space and live on new planets.Rather than depend on another pre-existing planet, could we make a new, proper planet ourselves?
To start with, if we do want to be living on it, we should find a good place in space to put the new planet. We’d want it to be in a habitable zone, meaning the planet should be at the right distance from its star to make sure there would be perfect temperatures and most importantly, liquid(液态的) water.
We’d also need the right materials to make the planet. Our Earth is made up of many different elements(元素). If we made our own new planet we’d probably want it to have similar elements and a similar structure(结构) We’ d also want enough water to form some oceans.
But even if we get all of the materials creating a new planet like Earth could have many troubles. It might be something more like a huge space station. It would be pretty expensive if we wanted it to be super big.
We would probably also need a lot of food since there s going to be many scientists and astronauts out in space working on this project!
According to NASA, each astronaut uses about 0. 83 kilograms of food per meal, including 0.12 kilograms of packaging(包装) material. Without the weight of the packaging material, we’d need about 780 kilograms of food just to feed one astronaut for a year.
Putting all these together could make it possible to make our own planet one day! In reality, creating a new planet would probably require a very modern technology and there would be tons of other things to think about. And if this is even possible, it likely won’t happen for a very long time.
8. What's the first thing we should do if we want to create a new planet?
A. To prepare enough food.
B. To design its inner structure.
C. To find a proper place to set the planet.
D. To collect materials similar to our Earth.
9. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to?
A. Our Earth. B. Outer space.
C. The new planet. D. The ocean water.
10. How much food does an astronaut actually eat each meal?
A. About 0. 12 kilograms. B. About 0. 71 kilograms.
C. About 0. 83 kilograms. D. About 0.95 kilograms.
11. What does the author think of creating a planet?
A. It is a waste of money and time. B. It should be one of NASA’S next plans.
C. It is not a good idea for humans. D. It won’t come true in the near future
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了创造一个新的、合适的星球需要具备哪些因素。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段“To start with, if we want to be living on it, we should find a good place in space to put the new planet”可知,首先,如果我们想生活在新的星球上面,我们应该在太空中找到一个好地方来安置这个新行星。所以如果我们想创造一个新的星球,我们应该做的第一件事是找到一个合适的地方来安置这个星球。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。由第三段“If we made our own new planet we’d probably want it to have similar elements and a similar structure(结构)”可知,如果我们创造了自己的新星球,我们可能希望它有相似的元素和相似的结构。所以通过上下文语境可以判读出,第3段中带下划线的"it"一词指的是新星球。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。由倒数第二段“According to NASA, each astronaut uses about 0. 83 kilograms of food per meal, including 0.12 kilograms of packaging(包装) material. ”可知,根据美国国家航空航天局的数据,每个宇航员大约每顿饭需要0.83千克的食物,包括0.12千克的包装材料。所以一个宇航员实际上每顿饭吃掉的食物为:0.83千克-0.12千克=0.71千克。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“ In reality, creating a new planet would probably require a very modern technology and there would be tons of other things to think about. And if this is even possible, it likely won’t happen for a very long time”可知,事实上,创造一个新的星球可能需要一种非常现代的技术,而且会有很多其他的事情需要考虑。即使这是可能的,但在很长一段时间内也是不会实现的。所以通过关键词“a very modern technology tons of other things to think about, won’t happen ”可知,作者认为创造一个新星球在不远的将来是不可能实现的。故选D项。
【点睛】抓住特定信息进行逆向或者正向推理。做此类试题要善于抓住某一段话中的关键信息,即某些关键词或短语去分析、推理、判断,利用逆向思维或正面推理,从而推断出这句话所隐含的深层含义。
由最后一段“ In reality, creating a new planet would probably require a very modern technology and there would be tons of other things to think about. And if this is even possible, it likely won’t happen for a very long time”可知,事实上,创造一个新的星球可能需要一种非常现代的技术,而且会有很多其他的事情需要考虑。即使这是可能的,但在很长一段时间内也是不会实现的。所以通过关键词“a very modern technology ,tons of other things to think about, won’t happen ”可知,作者认为创造一个行星有在不远的将来这是不可能实现的。故小题4选D项。

It was an early Saturday’s morning in August. When we reached the kitchen, there was a big surprise for my brother—his favorite breakfast. Clear, it was a important day for him, as he would left home to go to college. After finish breakfast, my brother said to me, "It's time, brother." I think he was meaning his time leave the house. However he explained all of the important work that I would need to do after he was gone. He said that it was time for you to take on a bigger role in the family. At that point, I understood that my brother meant. He was teaching me about family, love or duty.

4.left→leave
5.finish→finishing
6.think→though
7.leave前加to
8.you→me
9.that→what
10.or→and
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者家里为即将上大学的哥哥准备了他最喜欢的早餐,早餐之后作者的哥哥对作者进行了嘱咐,哥哥教作者什么是家庭,什么是爱,什么是责任。
【详解】第一处:考查名词。Saturday morning “星期六早上”其中Saturday为名词修饰名词morning。名词可以作定语修饰名词,作定语的名词往往是说明其中名词的材料、用途、时间、地点、内容、类别等。 故将Saturday’s改成Saturday。
第二处:考查副词。Clearly为副词修饰整个句子,置于句首。故将Clear改成Clearly。
第三处:考查冠词。important 首字母的发音为元音因素,所以用an来修饰。故将a改成an。
第四处:考查情态动词用法。would 为情态动词后接动词原形leave。故将left改成leave。
第五处:考查动名词。after为介词后接动名词作宾语。故将finish改成finishing。
第六处:考查一般过去时。整个短文都为一般过去时。故将think改成though。
第七处:考查动词不定式。分析句子可知,动词不定式作后置定语。故将leave前加to。
第八处:考查代词。分析句子可知,哥哥说该到我在家庭中扮演更大的角色了,所以for后面的代词宾格为me。故将you改成me。
第九处:考查连接代词。分析句子可知,本句为宾语从句,宾语从句的主语为 my brother ,谓语为meant,宾语为what。that在句中不做句子成分。故将that改成what。
第十处:考查连词。分析句子可知,family, love ,duty为并列关系,所以用and来连接。故将or改成and。
