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 about 400，000 people yearly. At the same time, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (the Fringe) appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, believing that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house that had been disused for years. Soon, groups of students firstly from The University of Edinburgh, and later from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform plays by little­known writers in small halls. Today the Fringe, once less jumped at　， has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500 performances of music, dance and theatre 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(管理人员)was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August.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.

C．To attract great artists from Europe. D．To bring Europe closer together again. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The idea was to reunite Europe after World War Ⅱ.”可知，一些名人建立国际节日是为了在第二次世界大战后使欧洲联合起来，故选D。 2．Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh? A．They came to take up a challenge. B．They thought they were also famous. C．They wanted to take part in the festival D．They owned a public house there. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, believing that everyone should have the right to perform”可知，这些未被邀请的团体认为每个人都有权利表演，所以他们想要参加这个节日，故选C。 3．What does the underlined phrase mean in Paragraph 5? A．Embraced. B．Checked. C．Allowed. D．Controlled 解析　A　词义猜测题。根据画线短语后的“has far outgrown the festival with around 1，500 performances of...it was getting too big”可知，爱丁堡边缘艺术节现在已经越来越受欢迎，每年有大约1 500场表演，但在1959年，只有19个剧团表演，由此可推知，此处表示爱丁堡边缘艺术节之前几乎不被接受，故选A。 4．Why are the numbers mentioned in the last paragraph? A．To prove different groups have come to the festival. B．To show administrators are busy in August. C．To prove the tickets of the festival sell well. D．To show the festival has grown rapidly. 解析　D　推理判断题。根据最后一段“A paid administrator(管理人员)was first employed only in 1971...1.25 million tickets were sold.”可知，爱丁堡边缘艺术节发展很快，故选D。 B Ah, the graduation day.Family parties.Student awards.Excited parents busy taking photos.Limo(豪华轿车) rides to the ceremony.All in celebration of years of hard work and the exciting things to come after primary school. Wait, what? Yes, primary school graduation ceremonies are becoming more popular than ever.And at my school, the fifth grade graduation is a serious business. A few weeks before the fifth grade graduation, I received a special parent email. “I would like to know if my boy is going to be the only kid not receiving an award on the graduation day, because I am going to save him from the embarrassment and favoritism that has been shown all year and will not have him at the graduation.” Awards are part of the end­of­year excitement at my school and the hardest thing I have to deal with all year.Picking five of fourteen students to be called before the whole school seems like a heartbreak for the other nine.Someone is always going to be left out and clearly, the parents feel the pressure. I chose not to answer the email, knowing the email was sent under pressure.The boy in question would receive an award, not because of his mother's email, but because his achievement was great. On the day of the ceremony, that boy and four others were awarded and they posed(摆好姿势) for pictures together in new formal clothes.I sent my congratulations to all the students—without considering their achievements—on having an excellent year and wished them well at their new schools. But as another year's graduation is coming soon, I'm left feeling uneasy.Not to take away anything from my present class of wonderful students as they prepare to head out to new schools, I believe that such ceremonies should be held at the end of high school and college.Is it too much or too soon to celebrate our children and their achievements? [语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。现在小学毕业典礼变得越来越普遍，也非常隆重。作者对此表达了自己的看法。 5．What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A．To attract readers with interesting facts. B．To give the causes of a problem. C．To express the main idea of the text. D．To show the importance of the topic. 解析　A　推理判断题。文章第一段列举了毕业典礼上的一些场景和活动，用一个个短语式的句子描绘了生动有趣的画面，以此来引出文章的话题，引起读者的阅读兴趣。故选A(用有趣的事实来吸引读者)。 6．Why did the parent send the author the email? A．To ask him to give her son an award. B．To complain about how her son had been treated. C．To ask for some information about the graduation day. D．To report her son's possible absence from the graduation. 解析　B　推理判断题。由第四段中的“I am going to save him from the embarrassment and favoritism that has been shown all year and will not have him at the graduation.”可知，这位发邮件的家长认为自己的孩子在学校遭受了不好的对待，并声称将不让孩子参加毕业典礼。因此可推断她发邮件是为了表达不满。 7．What does the author find most difficult about the graduation ceremony? A．Dealing with parent emails. B．Saying goodbye to his students. C．Deciding who will receive awards. D．Freeing his students from pressure. 解析　C　细节理解题。由第五段中的“Awards are part of the end­of­year excitement at my school and the hardest thing I have to deal with all year.”可知，作者认为关于毕业典礼最难的事情是决定班里哪些学生在毕业典礼上获奖。 8．What's the author's attitude towards graduation ceremonies? A．They are a waste of money. B．They are only meaningful for college students. C．They are not proper for primary school students. D．They are not a good way to celebrate students' achievements. 解析　C　推理判断题。由最后一段中的“...I believe that such ceremonies should be held at the end of high school and college.Is it too much or too soon to celebrate our children and their achievements？”可知，作者认为隆重的毕业典礼应该在高中毕业或大学毕业时举行，对于小孩子来说太早也太出格。由此可推断作者认为毕业典礼不适合小学生。 Ⅱ.七选五 The Double Ninth Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar and people usually celebrate it by going mountain climbing. 1 However, they are an important part of Chinese culture and we must protect and maintain them.

Finally, traditional festivals are a source of national pride and help shape our sense of national identity.For example, we celebrate the Qingming Festival and the Laba Festival with unique customs, and these shared experiences bring us together as a people. 4 ． Traditional festivals have been passed down to us from previous generations. 5 A．Some will get together，appreciating the full moon B．It is our responsibility to protect them for the coming generations C．Memorizing national history helps with our all­around development D．Traditional festivals also enable us to learn more about fine Chinese values E．Traditional festivals tell us who we are and fill us with pride in being Chinese F．As a result, the story of Qu Yuan is passed down from generation to generation G．Unfortunately, many traditional festivals are becoming less and less popular in modern society [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了传统节日的价值并呼吁大家保护传统节日。 1．解析　G　根据后文“However, they are an important part of Chinese culture and we must protect and maintain them”中的“However”可知，上下文间为转折关系，G项指出传统节日的现状，与下文“我们必须保护和维护传统节日”形成转折关系，符合逻辑。 2．解析　F　根据前文中的“The Dragon Boat Festival, for example, is celebrated in honor of Qu Yuan”可知，本段是用端午节纪念屈原为例来论证推广传统节日有助于传播历史知识的观点。故F项符合语境。 3．解析　D　根据后文中的“With the celebrations of these festivals, younger generations learn to honor fine Chinese values”可知，本段介绍的是通过庆祝传统节日年轻一代可以学习中国价值观。D项最能概括本段主题，且D项中的“fine Chinese values”与后文中的“fine Chinese values”相呼应。 4．解析　E　根据前文中的“Finally，traditional festivals are a source of national pride and help shape our sense of national identity”可知，本段介绍的是传统节日有助于塑造民族自豪感和民族认同感。 E项与主题一致。 5．解析　B　根据前文中的“Traditional festivals have been passed down to us from previous generations”可知，本段是在重申观点，呼吁我们保护传统节日。故B项符合语境。 Ⅲ.语法填空 The Mid­Autumn Festival is a harvest festival, 1.
