The Lusheng Festival The largest Lusheng Festival is held in Kaili. It is celebrated from the l6th to the 20th of the first lunar month. During the festival, Miao people from surrounding villages all come together in traditional dress. The men play lusheng while the women dance. They believe that this ceremony will bring a good harvest and good health in the coming year. However, the festival is not simply about playing lusheng. It also features other activities typical of Miao people, such as singing. bullfighting, and horse racing. The Sister's Meal Festival Held from the 15th to the 17th of the third lunar month, it is the most popular festival with young men and women of Miao people. Before the festival, Miao girls go to the mountains to gather wild flowers and leaves, which are then used to make colored dye(染料). When the festival begins, Miao girls meet by the river banks to make "sister’s rice". They dye the rice blue, pink, yellow and white to represent spring, summer, autumn and winter. When the men arrive, each of them singles out the woman he loves and sings to her. The woman responds to the song by giving the man a cup of rice wind and the sister's rice. If the rice is offered with a pair of red chopsticks, it means the woman returns the man's love. If only one chopstick is offered, it is a polite refusal. 21. What can be learned about Miao New Year?

B In the first year of the twenty-first century, a man standing by a busy road in the middle of the United States gave away his life savings-$30-and walked away. He was 39 years old, came from a good family, and had been to college. He was not mentally ill, nor did he have any other problems: The decision was made by a man who knew exactly what he was doing. In the following years since then, Daniel Suclo has not carned, received, or spent a single dollar. In an era when anyone who could sign his name could get a loan, Suelo applied for ngne. As public debt kept rising, he did not accept any type of help from the government. Instead he went to live in a cave in Utah, where he picks fruit, takes old food that has gone past its sell-by date out of bins, and is often fed by friends and strangers. While the rest of us try to deal with loans, retirement plans, and bank accounts, Suel no fonger even has an identity card. Daniel is not a typical homeless person. He often works - but refuses to be paid. Although he livs in a cave, he is extremely social, remains close to friends and family, and has discussions with strangers on his website which he checks at the local library. He has cycled far, traveled by asking for free rides through nearly every state in the United States, worked on a fishing boat, collected shellfish from Pacifc beaches, caught fish in streams in Alaska, and spent three months living in a tree after a storm. "I know it's possible to live with zero money," Suelo declares. And he says you can live well. 24. What can be learned about the man from the fist pagraph? A. He was doing voluntary work. B. He had given up hope in life C.He had a hard time growing up D. He was well aware of his actions. 25. What change has Daniel Suelo's new lifestyle brought about? A. He has gone into debt. B.He has bought a house. C. He has not used any money. D. He has been to many countries. 26. How does Daniel Suclo make a living? A. By applying for a loan. B.By gathering free food. C. By farming fruit trees. D.By accepting friend's help. 27.What is Daniel Suelo like? A. He is shy. B. He is lazy. C.He is outgoing. D. He is modest C Planetary changes which will have an influence on many are drawing near because of the poor ecological state of the planet. Actually change has already begun through climate changes, but most humans haven't noticed this yet. Climate change has begun to influence the world already and will begin to worsen within the next few years. As the planet is under big geological (地质的) stresses, which are continuously increasing, it will in the future no longer be able to support its population. Shortage of resources, over-farming, lack of clean air, not enough clean drinking water and drought are some of the issues that will all play a much greater role in the near future. Humans have caused large ecological destruction. The lifestyles of many people are changing at a fast speed; however, this will finally result in a shortage of some valuable resources. When this shortage begins to happen, people will no longer be able to have sustainable (可持续的) lifestyles. It's important to understand that everyone plays a role in the whole process of life.Each person's decision can finally affect the future. These decisions, all combined, can have a very good effect on what the future will be like for humans. So the future depends on the choices we make at the present moment. While more and more people are becoming aware of climate change and other environmental problems related to global warming, not all are fully understanding how far-reaching its effects will be. Unfortunately, most of the humans realize that the planet isn't functioning well, but they don't understand that this is creating a major problem for the future survival of humans. So, every person should make the necessary changes to reduce their influence on the environment and help create a more sustainable future 28. What do we know about climate change from the text? A. It is not casy for people to understand. B. It is expected to become worse soon. C.It is mainly caused by natural disasters. D. It is well realized by most humans. 29. What are paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about? A.Resources humans are running out of. B.Healthy lifestyles humans need to lead. C.Problems humans will be faced with. D.Geological changes humans have caused. 30.What is the author's purpose in writing the text? A. To call on people to contribute to a sustainable future. B. To inform people the planet isn't functioning properly. C.To warn people of the danger of ecological destruction. D.To tell people the right way to obtain enough resources. 31.What can be the best title for the text? A. The Causes of Planetary Changes B.The Influence of Ecological Destruction C.Ways to Build a Sustainable Future D.Environmental Damage and the Human Future D The world's elderly population is increasing. The number of older people - those aged 60 years or older - is expected to double by 2050 and is growing faster than all younger age groups across the world. That comes with an increasing need for caregivers who can provide24-hour care, not only at hospitals or nursing homes, but also at private homes. Already, caregiving robots are programmed to ask questions a nurse would ask and can keep an cye on patients for falls. These robotic assistants are expected to become increasingly marketable and reach 450,000 by 2045 because of the expected caregiver shortage in the United States. “ Unluckily, the hard structure of present caregiving robots prevents them from a safe human-robor interaction, limiting their assistance to only social interaction and not physical interaction,” said Ramses Martinez, an assistant professor in Purdue's College of Engineering. “After all, would you leave babies or old people in the hands of a robot?” Recent advances in material science have enabled the production of soft robots with deformable (可变形的) bodies or the ability to reshape themselves when touched, but today the complex design prevents the use of this technology at home. However, Martinez and other researchers have developed a new design method which shows promise in enabling the production of soft robots using a 3-D printer. The design process has three steps. First, a user makes a computer-added design file with the shape of the robot. The user then paints the file to show which directions the different joints of the soft robot will move. It takes the computer a few seconds to change the computer-aided design model into a 3-D soft machine that can be printed using any 3-D printer. “ The soft machines move like humans. Their ability to change their body structure and movement to adapt to a wide variety of cnvironments will improve caregiving greatly,” says Martinez. The researchers are looking for partners to test and bring their technology to the market. 32.What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 1 refer to? A.The younger age group B. The group of older people C.The population across the world. D. The growth of the elderly population 33.What is the disadvantage of the present caregiving robots? A. They can't offer safe physical interaction. B.They can't communicate with patients. C.They can't watch patients for falls. D. They can't provide 24-hour care. 34. What do we know about Martinez's new design method? A. It is hard for users to understand. B. It has brought the robots to the market. C. It works with a ppescial kind of 3-D printer D. It makes the production of soft robots simpler. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. The robot industry in the future. B. The development of caregiving robots. C. Robots for the elderly created with 3-D printers. D. Effects of population ageing around the world. 第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help? Travel' promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. 36.____________ Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today's world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience. ●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason; they're special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it's easy to feel like you're missing out.

He was going to make it to Los Angcles before midnight. He started the engine and got onto the highway. Suddenly, Daryl saw a large lump(块)in the middle of the road. Daryl's instinct (直觉) had told him to stop. He stepped rapidly on his brakes (刹车).As he got closer, he found that this lump was a person. Daryl got out of his truck and slowly approached. There was no blood and the figure was lying in the middle of the road under a blanket. Now he could see that it was a girl. Her skin was very pale and she looked absolutely worn out. “Hey,” said Daryl. Then, “Hey!" more loudly. The girl moved but didn't open her eyes. Daryl moved her to the side of the road. At least she wouldn't be run over there. Now she was someone else's problem. He climbed back in his truck and drove down the road. Just one glance in the rear-view mirror(后视镜)and Daryl saw the girl still lying there. He knew that he couldn't leave her like that. He pulled the truck over again and carried her to the truck. The girl briefly opened her eyes. "What's your name?" Daryl asked. The girl looked at him, silent. She closed her eyes again and Daryl climbed into the driver's scat. He stopped at the next city, an hour later, and went downtown to the police station. A middle-aged policewoman sat behind the main desk. "I've got a missing girl," Daryl said, "In my truck. I don't know what to do with her.” Officer Rodriguez came with Daryl and helped him bring the girl inside. The girl still wasn't speaking. “Well," Daryl said, “I need to hit the road. I have a shipment due in Los Angeles tonight. I was behind and my boss wasn't going to be happy." “Wait, sir, you can't leave,” said Officer Rodriguez, “We need you to give a statement about how you found the girl.” 注意: (1) 续写词数应为150左右; (2) 请按如下格式作答。 By the time Daryl finished giving his statement, it was mid-afternoon.
