Koningsdag — The Netherland
Koningsdag or King’s Day is a national holiday in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It is celebrated on 27 April (26 April if the 27th is a Sunday), the date marking the birth of King Willem-Alexander. Orange is the national color, and the streets become a sea of feather boas (羽毛围巾) and body paint as crowds gather in the plazas and on the boats in the rivers. Amsterdam is the center of this outdoor party, with many live music events, but nearly every town is alive with orange on this day.
Thai National Elephant Day — Thailand
Thai National Elephant Day is a national holiday in Thailand. Thai National Elephant Day has been celebrated on March 13th of every year since 1998. Because the elephant is the national animal of Thailand, it is highly respected and treasured. During the festivals elephant are honored during a ceremony (典礼) in which they are fed with bananas, other fruit, and sugarcane.
The Fire Festival — Shetland
On the last Tuesday of January the entire town of Lerwick, Shetland is in flames. At the festival, you’ll find yourself sitting, dancing, or stumbling around the largest bonfire you’ve ever seen in your life. The festival lasts only one day but takes the entire year to plan. Be prepared for an evening of singing, dancing, and fast paced activities, and don’t worry about making it to work next day — it’s a national holiday!
Holi — India
Holi, the Festival of Color, is a Hindu celebration full of joy and one of India’s most important holidays.

A butterfly’s wings can have many jobs besides keeping the insect high up in the air. They may be used to attract mates, or to warn potential attackers to stay away. All of these roles, though, depend on their unchanging colouration. This plays into the idea that butterfly wings are dead tissue, like a bird’s feathers. In fact, that’s not true. For example, in some species males’ wings have special cells releasing some chemicals which attract females.
Nanfang Yu, a physicist at Columbia University, in New York, has been looking into the matter. Together with Naomi Pierce, a butterfly specialist at Harvard University, he has now shown, in a paper published in Nature Communications in February, 2020, that butterfly wings are, indeed, very much alive.
In their experiments, the two researchers used a laser(激光) to heat up spots on the wings of dozens of butterfly species. When the temperature of the area under the laser reached 40°C or so, the insects responded within seconds by doing things that stopped their wings heating up further. These actions included a butterfly turning around to minimize its profile to the laser, moving its wings up and down or simply walking away.
Butterflies engaged in all of these heat-minimising activities even when the researchers blindfolded them. That suggested the relevant sensors were on the wings themselves. Dr Yu and Dr Pierce therefore searched those wings for likely looking sensory cells. They found some, in the form of neurons(神经元) that were similar to heat detectors known from other insects. They also uncovered disc-shaped cells that appeared to be similar to pressure-sensitive neurons. They guess that these are there to detect deformation of the wing—information an insect could use to control its flight pattern.
The third discovery they made to contradict the “dead wing” idea was that some butterfly wings have a heartbeat. A butterfly’s wings have veins(静脉). These carry a bloodlike liquid which, researchers have now found in males, shows a pulse(脉搏) of several dozen beats per minute. The source of this pulse appears to be the scent(气味) pad, a dark spot on the wings that produces the female-attracting chemicals. Apparently, this “wing heart” acts as a pump that helps bloodlike liquid through the scent pad.
In all their experiments simulating different environmental conditions, Dr Yu and Dr Pierce consistently found that, different parts of the wing are covered by different sorts of scales(鳞屑). In particular, tubes pass through scales over the scent pads. This improves their ability to spread heat away and helps keep the living parts of a butterfly’s wings alive.
4. A bird’s feathers are mentioned in Paragraph 1 to _____.
A. introduce the latest research findings on a bird
B. highlight the special feature of a bird’s feathers
C. show common knowledge about butterfly wings
D. stress the difference between a butterfly and a bird
5. What can we learn from Dr Yu and Dr Pierce’s experiments?
A. Butterfly wings are complicated living organs.
B. Butterfly wings have little reaction to external heat.
C. The scent pads on some male butterfly wings are their hearts.
D. Heat-minimising activities help detect deformation of the wings.
6. What is the function of scales over the scent pads?
A. Attracting mates. B. Increasing blood flow.
C. Covering powerful tubes. D. Producing the cooling effect.
7. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Seeing Is Believing B. More Than Meets The Eye
C. Nothing Seek, Nothing Find D. Fine Feathers Make Fine Birds
(C)
The Internet plays a big part in human life We use it for work and pleasure. We use it to learn a new language. We find advice on it. We use it to connect with family and friends. We use it to stay in touch with events we care about. The list goes on and on.
As far as the Internet being a part of our lives — well, that train has left the station. There is no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health? It might be, say researchers. A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure (血压) in a young group: teenagers.
The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week only online may cause high blood pressure, which makes your heart and blood vessels (血管) work too hard. Over time, this extra pressure increases your risk of a heart attack. High blood pressure can also cause heart and other diseases.
The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. 335 young people, from 14 to 17 years old, took part in it. 134 of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users”. And researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure. The researchers say the study is the first to connect heavy web use with high blood pressure.
The lead researcher is Andrea Cassidy Bushrow. She said, “Using the Internet is part of our daily life, but it shouldn’t ruin us.” Ms. Cassidy Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to stop to have a rest regularly from their computers or smart phones and do some kind of physical activity. She also suggests that parents shouldn’t let their children use the Internet for more than two hours a day, five days a week.
8. What does the underlined part “that train has left the station.” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Life without the Internet is nowhere to be found.
B. The train has stopped at the wrong station.
C. There is something wrong with the station.
D. The train has changed its course.
9. What can we learn from Para. 3and Para.4 ?
A. There is no relation between high blood pressure and Internet use.
B. There are more advantages than disadvantages of Internet use.
C. Heavy Internet users will probably have high blood pressure.
D. There is no harm of high blood pressure.
10. Andrea Cassidy Bushrow would agree that ________.
A. teenagers shouldn’t use the Internet
B. the Internet will ruin human life in the future
C. smart phones are more harmful than computers
D. regular breaks are necessary when using the Internet
11. What can be used as the best title of the passage?
A. Most teenagers have high blood pressure.
B. How to prevent teenagers from the Internet.
C. Every coin has two sides - so does the Internet.
D. Too much Internet use may be bad for teenagers.
(D)
When I was a kid, my mom set aside some breakfast food for supper every now and then. I remember one night after a long, hard day at work, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and a plate of extremely burnt biscuits on the table. I waited to see if my dad would get annoyed.
All my dad did was to reach for the biscuits, smile at my mom and ask me how my day at school had been. I don't remember what I told him that night but I do remember watching him add butter and jelly on that ugly burnt biscuit and ate every bite of that thing. He never made a face nor uttered a word about it!
When I rose from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for overcooking the biscuits and I will never forget what he said, “Honey, I love burnt biscuits every now and then."
Later that night, I went to say good night to my daddy, and I wondered if he really liked his biscuits burnt. He wrapped me up in his arms and said gently, "Your mom put in a hard day at work today and she is really tired. Besides, a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!
As I have grown older, I've thought about that many times. Life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. Learning to accept each other's faults and choosing to celebrate each other's differences contribute to a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. We could extend this philosophy to any relationship, such as a husband-wife, parent-child, or friendship. Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket. Keep it in your own. So, please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burnt one will do just fine.
12. How did the author's dad react to the burnt biscuit?
A. He set it aside for breakfast.
B. He ate butter and jelly instead.
C. He uttered his complaints loudly.
D. He ate it up as if nothing happened.
13. Which of the following words can best describe the author's dad?
A. Caring. B. Determined. C. Proud D. Hardworking.
14. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?
A. Show understanding to imperfect things.
B. Ask the children to respect their parents.
C. Enjoy the over-cooked biscuits willingly.
D. Make important decisions on your own.
15. In which section of a magazine may this passage appear?
A. History and culture. B. Family and relationship.
C. Cuisine and health. D. Entertainment and sports.

A butterfly’s wings can have many jobs besides keeping the insect high up in the air. They may be used to attract mates, or to warn potential attackers to stay away. All of these roles, though, depend on their unchanging colouration. This plays into the idea that butterfly wings are dead tissue, like a bird’s feathers. In fact, that’s not true. For example, in some species males’ wings have special cells releasing some chemicals which attract females.
Nanfang Yu, a physicist at Columbia University, in New York, has been looking into the matter. Together with Naomi Pierce, a butterfly specialist at Harvard University, he has now shown, in a paper published in Nature Communications in February, 2020, that butterfly wings are, indeed, very much alive.
In their experiments, the two researchers used a laser(激光) to heat up spots on the wings of dozens of butterfly species. When the temperature of the area under the laser reached 40°C or so, the insects responded within seconds by doing things that stopped their wings heating up further. These actions included a butterfly turning around to minimize its profile to the laser, moving its wings up and down or simply walking away.
Butterflies engaged in all of these heat-minimising activities even when the researchers blindfolded them. That suggested the relevant sensors were on the wings themselves. Dr Yu and Dr Pierce therefore searched those wings for likely looking sensory cells. They found some, in the form of neurons(神经元) that were similar to heat detectors known from other insects. They also uncovered disc-shaped cells that appeared to be similar to pressure-sensitive neurons. They guess that these are there to detect deformation of the wing—information an insect could use to control its flight pattern.
The third discovery they made to contradict the “dead wing” idea was that some butterfly wings have a heartbeat. A butterfly’s wings have veins(静脉). These carry a bloodlike liquid which, researchers have now found in males, shows a pulse(脉搏) of several dozen beats per minute. The source of this pulse appears to be the scent(气味) pad, a dark spot on the wings that produces the female-attracting chemicals. Apparently, this “wing heart” acts as a pump that helps bloodlike liquid through the scent pad.
In all their experiments simulating different environmental conditions, Dr Yu and Dr Pierce consistently found that, different parts of the wing are covered by different sorts of scales(鳞屑). In particular, tubes pass through scales over the scent pads. This improves their ability to spread heat away and helps keep the living parts of a butterfly’s wings alive.
4. A bird’s feathers are mentioned in Paragraph 1 to _____.
A. introduce the latest research findings on a bird
B. highlight the special feature of a bird’s feathers
C. show common knowledge about butterfly wings
D. stress the difference between a butterfly and a bird
5. What can we learn from Dr Yu and Dr Pierce’s experiments?
A. Butterfly wings are complicated living organs.
B. Butterfly wings have little reaction to external heat.
C. The scent pads on some male butterfly wings are their hearts.
D. Heat-minimising activities help detect deformation of the wings.
6. What is the function of scales over the scent pads?
A. Attracting mates. B. Increasing blood flow.
C. Covering powerful tubes. D. Producing the cooling effect.
7. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Seeing Is Believing B. More Than Meets The Eye
C. Nothing Seek, Nothing Find D. Fine Feathers Make Fine Birds
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B

The Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and pleasure. We use it to learn a new language. We find advice on it. We use it to connect with family and friends. We use it to stay in touch with events we care about. The list goes on and on.
As far as the Internet being a part of our lives, — well, that train has left the station. There is no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health? It might be, say researchers. A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure (血压) in a young group: teenagers.
The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week only online may cause high blood pressure, which makes your heart and blood vessels (血管) work too hard. Over time, this extra pressure increases your risk of a heart attack. High blood pressure can also cause heart and other diseases.
The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. 335 young people, from 14 to 17 years old, took part in it. 134 of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users”. And researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure. The researchers say the study is the first to connect heavy web use with high blood pressure.
The lead researcher is Andrea Cassidy Bushrow. She said, “Using the Internet is part of our daily life, but it shouldn’t ruin us.” Ms. Cassidy Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to stop to have a rest regularly from their computers or smart phones and do some kind of physical activity. She also suggests that parents shouldn’t let their children use the Internet for more than two hours a day, five days a week.
8. What does the underlined part “that train has left the station.” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Life without the Internet is nowhere to be found.
B. The train has stopped at the wrong station.
C. There is something wrong with the station.
D. The train has changed its course.
9. What can we learn from Para. 3and Para.4 ?
A. There is no relation between high blood pressure and Internet use.
B. There are more advantages than disadvantages of Internet use.
C. Heavy Internet users will probably have high blood pressure.
D. There is no harm of high blood pressure.
10. Andrea Cassidy Bushrow would agree that ________.
A. teenagers shouldn’t use the Internet
B. the Internet will ruin human life in the future
C. smart phones are more harmful than computers
D. regular breaks are necessary when using the Internet
11. What can be used as the best title of the passage?
A. Most teenagers have high blood pressure.
B. How to prevent teenagers from the Internet.
C. Every coin has two sides - so does the Internet.
D. Too much Internet use may be bad for teenagers.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。一项研究发现,青少年过度使用因特网可能导致高血压。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。第一段中The Internet plays a big part in human life.(因特网在人类生活中扮演着重要的角色)及列举的我们日常生活中用到因特网的方方面面;在第二段作者引用了这句that train has left the station(那列火车已经离开车站了),紧接着又指出There is no going back to an Internet-free life.(我们不能返回到没有因特网的生活了)由此可见,这句话在此处所要表达的意思是:没有互联网的生活是无处可寻的。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week only online may cause high blood pressure, which makes your heart and blood vessels (血管) work too hard.(研究结果表明,每周上网至少14个小时的青少年可能会导致高血压,这让你的心脏和血管工作得太辛苦)及第四段中的And researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure. The researchers say the study is the first to connect heavy web use with high blood pressure.(研究人员发现,在这134名青少年中,有26人患有高血压。研究人员表示,这项研究首次将大量上网与高血压联系起来)可知,新的研究发现过度使用因特网会很可能会导致高血压,也就是说过度使用因特网的人可能会患有高血压。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Ms. Cassidy Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to stop to have a rest regularly from their computers or smart phones and do some kind of physical activity.(Cassidy Bushrow女士补充说,青少年应该经常停下电脑或智能手机休息,进行一些体育活动,这很重要)可知,Andrea Classidy-Bushrow认为上网时隔一段时间休息是很有必要的。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中的A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure (血压) in a young group: teenagers.(一项新的研究发现,在青少年群体中,大量使用互联网可能与高血压有关)及下文介绍的高血压会导致的后果和专家给与的一些建议可知,文章主要讲的是一项研究发现青少年过度使用因特网可能会导致高血压。由此可知,D项Too much Internet use may be bad for teenagers.(过多使用互联网可能对青少年有害)适合做本文最佳标题。故选D。
【点睛】依据逻辑推理猜测词义:运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式。要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力,充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境,从形式和内容上把握语言之间的内在联系,理顺语言之间的逻辑关系,进而达到猜词的目的。在第2小题中,可以根据该划线词所在的上下文语境来推测其意义。如第1小题,What does the underlined part “that train has left the station.” mean in paragraph 2?在第二段中划线部分“that train has left the station”是什么意思。根据文章第一段中The Internet plays a big part in human life.(因特网在人类生活中扮演着重要的角色)及列举的我们日常生活中用到因特网的方方面面;在第二段作者引用了这句that train has left the station(那列火车已经离开车站了),紧接着又指出There is no going back to an Internet-free life.(我们不能返回到没有因特网的生活了)由此可见,这句话在此处所要表达的意思是:没有互联网的生活是无处可寻的。故选A。
(D)
When I was a kid, my mom set aside some breakfast food for supper every now and then. I remember one night after a long, hard day at work, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage, and a plate of extremely burnt biscuits on the table. I waited to see if my dad would get annoyed.
All my dad did was to reach for the biscuits, smile at my mom and ask me how my day at school had been. I don't remember what I told him that night but I do remember watching him add butter and jelly on that ugly burnt biscuit and ate every bite of that thing. He never made a face nor uttered a word about it!
When I rose from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for overcooking the biscuits and I will never forget what he said, “Honey, I love burnt biscuits every now and then."
Later that night, I went to say good night to my daddy, and I wondered if he really liked his biscuits burnt. He wrapped me up in his arms and said gently, "Your mom put in a hard day at work today and she is really tired. Besides, a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!
As I have grown older, I've thought about that many times. Life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. Learning to accept each other's faults and choosing to celebrate each other's differences contribute to a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. We could extend this philosophy to any relationship, such as a husband-wife, parent-child, or friendship. Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket. Keep it in your own. So, please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burnt one will do just fine.
12. How did the author's dad react to the burnt biscuit?
A. He set it aside for breakfast.
B. He ate butter and jelly instead.
C. He uttered his complaints loudly.
D. He ate it up as if nothing happened.
13. Which of the following words can best describe the author's dad?
A. Caring. B. Determined. C. Proud D. Hardworking.
14. What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph?
A. Show understanding to imperfect things.
B. Ask the children to respect their parents.
C. Enjoy the over-cooked biscuits willingly.
D. Make important decisions on your own.
15 In which section of a magazine may this passage appear?
A. History and culture. B. Family and relationship.
C. Cuisine and health. D. Entertainment and sports.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者讲述了妈妈辛苦工作一天后回来准备的晚餐包含一盘烤糊的饼干。他以为爸爸会因此生气。没想到爸爸不但不生气反而像没发生什么一样把饼干吃掉了。事后妈妈还跟爸爸道歉。爸爸不生气反而告诉妈妈他喜欢吃烤糊的饼干,并告诫作者要体谅妈妈。作者最终懂得要坦然接受一些不完美的人和物。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后一句话“... but I do remember watching him add butter and jelly on that ugly burnt biscuit and ate every bite of that thing. He never made a face nor uttered a word about it!”可知爸爸在每一个饼干上涂上了黄油的果酱,然后吃掉了所有饼干,没表露出难吃的表情,也没说什么。可知,作者的爸爸像没发生什么似的吃掉了饼干。故选D项。
【13题详解】
判断推理题。根据第三段的“When I rose from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for overcooking the biscuits and I will never forget what he said, “Honey, I love burnt biscuits every now and then.(那天晚上,当我从桌子上站起来的时候,我记得听到妈妈因为饼干烧焦而向爸爸道歉,我永远不会忘记他说的话:“亲爱的,我时不时喜欢烧焦的饼干。)”和第四段的“ He wrapped me up in his arms and said gently, "Your mom put in a hard day at work today and she is really tired. Besides, a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!(他把我搂在怀里,温柔地说:“你妈妈今天工作很辛苦,她真的很累。再说,一点烧焦的饼干也不会伤害任何人!)”可知,爸爸吃掉妈妈烤糊的饼干,丝毫不抱怨,反而感谢妈妈的付出并教育作者也要多体谅妈妈。由此推知,爸爸是一个体贴他人的人。故选A项。
【14题详解】
判断推理题。根据最后一段二三句“Life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. Learning to accept each other's faults and choosing to celebrate each other's differences contribute to a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.”可知作者认为生活中总是会存在不完美的人和物,我们要学会接受他人的过失并赞美各自的不同,这能促成健康、持久的关系,甚至增强一段关系。故可推断出作者建议我们理解不完美的事情。故选A项。
【15题详解】
判断推理题。本文讲述作者爸爸对妈妈理解使得他们关系亲密,且让作者懂得了要接受他人的不完美是维持一段关系的哲理,故可能出自某杂志的“家庭关系”版块。故选B项。
【点睛】阅读理解题中,细节理解解题要注意:排除干扰项,突出主题。将注意力放在寻找你所需要的细节上,快速浏览,一目十行。发现细节,十目一行,放慢速度,仔细核对比较,直到找到正确答案。如本文第1题,找出文中提到的“爸爸在每一个丑陋的饼干上涂上了黄油的果酱,然后吃掉了所有饼干,没表露出难吃的表情也没说什么”,能快速排除错误答案,得出正确答案。

【点睛】浅谈如何做好完形填空
1.上下文对照,抓关键词。
解完型填空题时,单独看一句话是找不到正确答案的,需要阅读下句或者若干句才能明白。所谓上下对照,即在上文和下文中找到与正确答案相同的关键词。因此,在做题时要边读边在大脑中储存上下文信息的能力,捕捉关键词。比如第58小题,动词辨析和句意理解。A. attract吸引;B. hate讨厌;C. form表扬;D. upset使不安。根据上文的:How do we 37 our soul mate(知己)?可知这里找的是吸引你的人,所以选B。2.结合生活,考查学生利用常识题的能力。
目的考查学生的生活常识,看看学生是否善于观察生活,积累生活常识,能否利用常识去做恰当的选择。比如第60小题,动词辨析和句意理解。A. run跑;B. inspect;C. load装载;D. save拯救。根据上下文可知:如果这样做的话,你就会浪费一生的时间。故选C。
3.关注连词,考查学生对行文逻辑、句子关联的理解能力。 此项用来考查学生在缺少连词的情况想,通过阅读能否理解句子的与句子的关系,是否了解行文逻辑的要求,能否掌握表示因果、转折、并列、条件、让步等的连词的用法。比如第54小题,考查连词。A. And和;B. Although尽管;C. While 然而;D. But但是。句意:但是,我没意识到我在这个领域里是最差的。故选D。
