Depending on different calendars, cultures and traditions, the new year is celebrated at different times in different countries. New Year in Thailand Songkran is a water festival that celebrates the Thai new year on 13th April. Water plays a big part in the festival of Songkran. Traditionally, families will visit a temple and pour water over statues(雕像) in it. This is thought to bring good fortune.

It is thought that eight rings say goodbye to the old year while100 rings welcome the new year. During this celebration, many people wake up early to watch the first sunrise of the new year and choose to visit temples with their friends and family. Traditions from Around the World The UK-In England, many people celebrate Hogmanay which begins on 31st December. During this celebration, people sometimes take part in “first footing”, which is the tradition of being the first person to visit somebody's house in the new year. Romania-In Romania, one new year's tradition is for children to dance while dressed up in bear costumes. This is thought to help scare away any ghosts. 16.How many countries are mentioned in the text? A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five. 17. What can you know from the text? A.Songkran is a water festival that celebrates the Thai new year on December 31st. B.Many temples in Japan ring their bells 108 times to say goodbye to the old year.

B If someone said they'd pay you $1,80 to stay of social media(社交媒体) for 6 years, would you do it? Could you? An American mom challenged her son to do just that, and he succeeded. Sivert Klefsaas is the youngest of Lorna Gold-strand Klefsaas' four children, and his three older sisters all used social media growing up. It was intluencung their feelings, as well as their friendships. So, Lorna thought, “If I could, I'd be wiling to do whatever to keep Sivert off social media as long as I could, whatever that looks like.” And that's where the idea for this challenge came from. It all started when Lora heard about a similar “16 for 16 challenge” on the radio, where a mother called Amanda Green gave her daughter Teresa $1,60 when she turned 16 if she stayed of social media. So, Lorna decided to create her own “18 for 18 challenge”. Not only did Sivert finally complete this challenge, but he would do it again, too. “It wasn't too difficult to live without social media, and I didn't think about it much during the 6 years,” Sivert said. “As time went on, it was more of a pride thing.” He had his friends keep him up to date on the latest information. Sivert added, “I got to avoid all the unnecessary things that were on there. It also meant I had more time to focus on my grades and sports instead.” Now that he's done with the challenge, Sivert joined Instagram(照片墙), but has no plans to let social media define (定义)him. “Social media is great. We certainly need to use it,” Sivert said. “But also make sure you spend time in other areas of your life, especially those personal relationships.” Still, Lorna is proud of her son's success. “We are certainly not against social media, but it's the healthy using of it.” Lerna told CNN. 19. Who does the underlined word “she” refer to? A. Teresa Green. B. Amanda Green. C. Lorna Klefsaas. D. Sivert Klefsaas. 20. How did Sivert get the latest information? A. By surfing on the Internet. B. Through the radio. C. By talking with his friends. D. Through the social media. 21. What does Sivert think of social media now? A. Social media is a way to define people. B. It's important to use social media healthily. C. It is too difficult to live without social media. D. Social media is great and he needs it all the time. 22. What can we learn about Lona from the passage? A. She is a mother of a 16-year-old teenager. B. She helped her son successfully stay off the social media. C. She doesn't really agree with the “16 for 16 challenge”on the radio. D. She is not against social media because her son succeeded in using it. C Isaiah Tuckett has a love for baking, and before he entered high school, he even made a business out of it. When the 14-year-old started selling cupcakes, he set a big dream for himself--and he recently found sweet success. “He's always loved being in the kitchen and baking, ever since he was a little kid,” his mom said “It was my mom's 85th birthday and we were having a party for her, and we decided to bake a few cupcakes.” A friend who tried one of the cupcakes loved them and asked if Isaiah could bake for his daughter's school-leavers' party. “A bot 20 people came to that party. Then great numbers of orders(订单) just started arriving,” she said. Isaiah has his own website; where he offers a menu of cupcakes and each costs $1.6. The boy has always wanted to go to Disney and decided he wanted to save his own money to take a trip to Disney and he wanted his whole family to go. Isaiah's parents told him they'd support his dream and help him with his business. He made it official with his special apron, with “Isaiah's Treats” on it. The job takes a lot of time, but Isaiah enjoys it. In just a year, Isaiah made $5,000. That was enough to send his whole family to Disney. The boy, who is now in high school, said going to Disney felt even better as he got there because of his own hard work. Now that he's realized his first dream, he has his plans for the next. Isaiah hopes to sell enough cupcakes to buy himself a car. Isaiah also hopes to go to cooking school when he finishes school, and then open a restaurant in his neighborhood. He's already halfway there. 23. How did Isaiah find sweet success from his hobby? A. By helping his grandma with the housework. B. By entering high school to learn how to bake. C. By making cupcakes for his grandma's birthday. D. By realizing his dream of selling cupcakes at last. 24. Why did Isaiah start his cupcake business? A. To start a website. B. To pay for his own education. C. To enjoy his success. D. To have a family trip to Disney. 25. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? A. Isaiah has spent some money on his car. B. Isaiah has made all his dreams come true C. Isaiah has been on the way to the restaurant. D. Isaiah has achieved something for his future. 26. What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A. Two heads are better than one. B. Tomorrow is another day. C. Hold your dream and you'll make it. D. Business is the salt of life. D About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is covered by water. Water in nature is salt water and fresh water, but only three percent of that amount(数量) is freshwater. A lot of organizations are saying that people are running out of usable water, but few are taking this problem seriously. Why should they? They see water everywhere. The average American family uses more than 1,140 liters(升) of water at home per day. However, in developing countries, nearly 900 million people do not have safe drinking water. Water shortages are, in fact, a bigger problem today than ever before. The human population has continued to grow and with it, its need for water. Global warming is making this problem more serious. Unless we all take it seriously, we will end up having to live on a blue planet without a drop of usable water. From taking shorter showers to reusing water, there are many ways for you to save water. One more thing you can do is reduce your use of “virtual water”. Perhaps you have never heard of the idea of “virtual water.” It means the water you use indirectly. We not just drink water and use it to clean all kinds of things; we also“use” it through the products we buy. To produce a piece of A4 paper, for example, we need about ten liters of water. The production of our food requires even more water. A cow needs to eat 10 kilograms of grain(谷物) for three years before it can produce 180 kilograms of beef. The grain requires water to grow, the cow needs to drink, and the farmer needs water to clean his farm. So behind each 230-gram steak dinner, there are nearly3,600 liters of water! It will make a big difference if you remove some meat from your diet and eat more fruit and vegetables instead. You are also saving water when you are writing on both sides of paper instead of just one. The world is running out of usable water. Every drop of it is valuable. 27. How much does salt water take up the total amount of water on the earth? A.3%. B.68%. C.71%. D.97%. 28. According to the passage, which of the following may cause the water shortages? ① The growing human population.② The proper reprocess of water. ③ The great need for drinking water.④ The increasing greenhouse effect. A.①②④ B.①③④ C.①②③ D.②③④ 29. Among the following examples, which one belongs to “virtual water”? A. Taking a shower. B. Washing some clothes. C. Making a cup of tea. D. Producing a kilo of mutton. 30. What is the writer's purpose of writing this article? A. To improve the understanding of saving water. B. To discuss the challenge of living on another planet. C. To explain the reasons of protecting the environment. D. To show the possibility of turning saltwater into fresh water. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面材料，从方框中所给的A一E六个选项中选择正确的选项（其中一项是多余选项），将其序号填入31—34题，并回答35题。 A good book can teach you things beyond your class.
