B Festivals are globally celebrated for various reasons — the seasons of the year, religions, famous figures, and important events. Every festival has its different customs and unique charms. However, the spirit of sharing joy, gratitude, love, or peace is common in all festivals. The harvest festival can be found in almost every culture. People celebrate to show that they are grateful for the year’s supply of food. In ancient Egypt, the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime — the Egyptian harvest season. It featured a parade and a great feast with music, dancing, and sports. Today, in some European countries, people decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and get together to celebrate over a meal. Customs play a significant role in festivals, but sometimes they can change over time. With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas, some traditions may fade away and others may be established. One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year. Nowadays, many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution. Festivals are becoming more and more commercial, with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations. Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones. Although some believe festivals should not be commercialised, others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy and public happiness. Festivals are an important part of society. They reflect people’s wishes, beliefs, faiths, and attitudes towards life. They help us understand where we came from, who we are, and what to appreciate. And if you study festivals carefully, you may be surprised to find that different cultures actually have a lot in common after all. 4. Why is the harvest festival celebrated in various cultures? A. To encourage people to plant more crops. B. To convey appreciation for the food harvest. C. To promote agricultural technologies. D. To mark the beginning of the agricultural season. 5. How have festival traditions evolved throughout history? A. They have become more religious. B. They have remained the same in all cultures. C. Some conventional practices have disappeared while new ones have emerged. D. They have lost their connection with important events or figures. 6. What is the effect of commercialization on festivals as described in the text? A. It has reduced the pleasure people get from festivals. B. It has resulted in higher expenditures on presents. C. It has led to a loss of the true significance of festivals. D. The cultural importance has decreased. 7. Which of the following is the best titles? A. The Global Economy of Festivals B. Why Do We Celebrate Festivals C. The Commercialization of Traditional Festivals D. The Gradual Disappearance of Traditional Festival Customs C Most people who ran the marathon last month spent days before resting up and days after recovering. But not Jacky Hunt-Broersma. In total, she ran 104 marathons in 104 days. If it’s confirmed by Guinness World Records, that would be a new world record. And she did it all with one leg and a prosthesis (假肢). “Someone able-bodied had done it previously. I wanted to see if I could do it on a prosthetic leg and see what would happen,” she said. “I thought it would be a great way to inspire others to push their limits because I truly believe that we’ re stronger than what we think. And I’ve been so pleasantly surprised that my body has held up. Everything has held up and I’ve made it to 104.” She actually did not pick up the sport until after she lost the lower part of her left leg in 2001 to a type of cancer called Ewing sarcoma. Runners using a prosthetic leg can’t use a regular one. They need a running blade (刀锋式跑步义肢). Hunt-Broersma has two, but she was only able to run with one because of the swelling she experienced in her left leg that made it impossible to connect to the other blade. But even with the pain that occurred, she has been able to put up with it and continued. All together, Hunt-Broersma ran over 4,385 kilometers. During that time she has had a lot of time to think and has learned a few things about herself. “It has taught me how strong one can be and how important absolute determination is. If you’ re mentally strong, you can do anything,” she said. “And our bodies are just amazing... This whole journey was impressive and super hard, but it’s told me how strong I can be as a person and how far I can push myself.” 8. Why did Hunt-Broersma decide to run marathons? A. She wanted to set a new record. B. She was driven by her interest. C. She intended to challenge herself. D. She was inspired by people like her. 9. What difficulty did Hunt-Broersma meet with? A. She didn’t get professional training. B. She found it hard to keep her balance. C. She suffered discomfort in her left leg. D. She couldn’t use regular running blades. 10. What message does the author express through the story? A. Rome wasn’t built in a day. B. Time works wonders. C. A good beginning is half the battle. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. 11. What may be the author’s attitude towards Hunt-Brocrsma? A. Indifferent. B. Admiring. C. Sympathetic. D. Critical. D “April snow” is not real snow but catkins (飞絮) from willows and pop lar trees that bloom in spring. But for allergy sufferers (过敏患者), it signals the start of a tough season. Catkins can trigger allergies, causing a stuffy nose (鼻塞), swollen eyes, itchy skin, and sometimes even asthma (哮喘). In spring, the female trees grow inflorescences (花序), a bunch of flowers on a branch, to reproduce. When these inflorescences finish growing, they burst, producing cotton-like seeds. These seeds are spread by the wind, posing a problem for people with allergies. Luckily, scientists have found various ways to control these annoying catkins. Performing “gender change surgery” on pop lar and willow trees is one of them. It involves cutting off the branches of female trees and replacing them with male branches, which reduces the number of catkins. Successful “surgery” is most likely in trees under 10 years old as that is when they grow the fastest. After the “gender change surgery”, these trees need to be specially looked after for about three years until they fully recover. The process is also expensive and not very efficient, with a skilled worker being able to do fewer than ten trees in a day. From 2008 to 2018, only around 1000 poplar and willow trees underwent the process in Beijing, reported Outlook Weekly in 2022. Some local departments chose to inject inhibitors (抑制剂) into the trees to control catkins. “The injection redirects the nutrients (营养物) of pop lar and willow trees used for reproduction to growth. It’s not harmful and makes the trees leafier, Xu Qinming from a management center of the Wuxi Municipal Bureau of Administration and Landscape told Science and Technology Daily. But the effects don’t last forever-the trees need to be injected every year to cut down the number of catkins. Other than injections, there’s also “medicine”. Before the catkins form, medication can be sprayed (喷洒) straight onto the trees. This method can efficiently manage catkin numbers in the short term. Still, how much medicine and when to spray it need to be carefully considered to prevent any negative environmental impacts. 12. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about? A. The development process of catkins. B. The characteristics of catkins. C The environmental impact of catkins. D. The influence of catkins on allergy sufferers. 13. How is “gender change surgery” performed on trees? A. By changing the genetic makeup of trees. B. By shaping the trees in a specific way. C. By injecting medicine into tree branches. D. By attaching male branches to female trees. 14. What is a disadvantage of using inhibitors to control catkins? A. The need for yearly injections. B. Their negative effects on trees. C. Their high cost and low efficiency. D. Their limited impact on older trees. 15. What must be considered when spraying trees with medication? A. Tree recovery time. B. Speed of application. C. Environmental impact. D. Short-term effectiveness. 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。 You may not get enough physical activity throughout the day, especially since sitting still is required or encouraged in many jobs, at school, and in social situations.

One year during Emperor Taizong’s rule, a man named Mian Bogao was selected as one of the messengers. His journey was long. Chang’an was a thousand miles away!

He began to panic. Surely, Emperor Taizong would punish him. He might be arrested! Mian Bogao had to decide whether or not to continue on to Chang’an. He thought about it for a while. On the one hand, he didn’t have anything to give to the emperor. On the other hand, he had already come very far. He decided to continue on his way. He picked up the feather and continued on his journey. 48. When Mian Bogao finally arrived in Chang’an, he entered the palace. He took out the white swan feather and presented it to the emperor. The emperor was shocked. Only a feather? For the emperor? The other people in the palace gasped. Mian Bogao told the emperor he could explain the reason. 49. After Mian Bogao told the whole story, the emperor smiled. Sure, the feather wasn’t an impressive gift. But Mian Bogao had put in a lot of effort to get the feather to Chang’an. That showed great love for the emperor. The gift of Mian Bogao’s dedication was better than a swan.
