Participants (参与者) are allowed to carry their wives in various ways— including piggyback or fireman’s carrying. The prize is awarded based on the wife’s weight in beer. Monkey Buffet (自助餐) Festival—Lopburi, Thailand You may consider how a monkey would taste, but this is a buffet for monkeys. The local monkeys in the Lopburi are gifted with a feast of tons of fruits, vegetables, cakes, and candies every November. After the monkeys are given their treat, youths dressed up as monkeys perform dances. The festival first occurred in 1989, run by a local businessman to drive up tourism in Lopburi. Luckily for him and the monkeys, it worked. Mud Festival—Boryeong, ROK The festival is not historic by any means— the first one took place in 1998— and it was originally created as a marketing event for Boryeong mud cosmetics (化妆品). The mud from the Boryeong is considered rich in natural minerals and is used to make beauty products. Popular activities include a mud pool, mud slides and mud skiing. Tomato Festival—Bunol, Valencia, Spain The festival has run annually in August during a weeklong celebration in Bunol since 1945, when a noisy crowd took the tomatoes from a vegetable stall and started a food fight. The hour-long tomato fight used up about 145,000 kg of tomatoes in 2015. Since 2013 it has been a ticketed event to limit participants to just 20,000. 1. What will you get if you win the Wife Carrying Competition? A. A wife. B. Lots of money. C. A pig. D. Lots of beer. 2. What is the purpose of creating Monkey Buffet Festival? A. To taste the monkey. B. To promote mud makeups. C. To develop tourism. D. To sell out tomatoes. 3. Which festival is likely to have the shortest history? A. Wife Carrying Competition. B. Mud Festival. C. Monkey Buffet Festival. D. Tomato Festival. 【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了世界上四个奇特的节日，分别是背老婆比赛节、猴子自助餐节、泥浆节以及番茄节。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句“The prize is awarded based on the wife’s weight in beer.(该奖项是根据妻子在啤酒中的体重颁发的。)”可知，妻子的体重越重，获得的啤酒就越多，故获奖者将获得很多啤酒。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The festival first occurred in 1989, run by a local businessman to drive up tourism in Lopburi.(这个节日首次出现于1989年，由一名当地商人经营，以推动华富里的旅游业。)”可知，这个节日出现的目的是为了发展旅游业。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的第一句“Although the exact origins of the tradition are unknown because of its long history, but today, wife carrying is practiced around the world.(虽然由于历史悠久，这一传统的确切起源不得而知，但今天，背着妻子这项活动在世界各地都有实行。)”以及第二段的“The festival first occurred in 1989, run by a local businessman to drive up tourism in Lopburi.(这个节日首次出现于1989年，由一名当地商人经营，以推动华富里的旅游业。)”以及第三段的“The festival is not historic by any means— the first one took place in 1998— and it was originally created as a marketing event for Boryeong mud cosmetics (化妆品).(无论如何，这个节日都不是历史性的——第一次是在1998年——它最初是作为博荣泥化妆品的一个营销活动而设立的。)”以及第四段的“The festival has run annually in August during a weeklong celebration in Bunol since 1945, when a noisy crowd took the tomatoes from a vegetable stall and started a food fight.(自1945年以来，该节日每年8月在布诺尔举行为期一周的庆祝活动，当时一群喧闹的人从蔬菜摊上拿走了西红柿，并开始了一场食物大战。)”可知，四个节日中最晚创办的是泥浆节，在1998年开始的。故四个节日里最可能历史最短的是泥浆节。故选B项。 B There was once a boy called Mario who loved to have lots of friends at school. However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it’s in the attic (阁楼). Wait here for a minute.” Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible (无形的) it’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you’ll be able to tell who your true friends are.” Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing,” Mario said. Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to the ground... until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air. Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall. Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends. 4. What did Mario’s grandpa take from the attic? A. An invisible chair. B. An old chair. C. A real chair. D. Nothing. 5. Why did Mario’s grandpa give him the invisible chair? A. To see whether Mario could sit on it. B. To test who were Mario’s true friends. C. To let Mario have fun with his classmates. D. To test whether Mario was popular at school. 6. How was Mario able to hover in mid-air? A. He saw the invisible chair suddenly. B He managed to sit on the chair finally. C. His friends held him up with their hands. D. His classmates gave him a chair to sit on. 7. What does the story tell us? A. Never laugh at our friends. B. True friends can help us do magic. C. True friends are those who care for us. D. Having too many good friends isn’t a good thing. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。为了帮助Mario知道谁是自己真正的朋友，Mario的爷爷给了Mario一把“隐形的椅子”。通过它，Mario成功测试出了自己真正的朋友。真正的朋友是在我们处于困境时，真正关心我们，帮助我们的人。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. (爷爷离开了，很快就回来了，好像手里拿着什么东西，但Mario什么也没看到。)”可知，马里奥的爷爷从阁楼里没有拿任何东西。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible (无形的) it’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you’ll be able to tell who your true friends are. (带走它。这是一把非常特别的椅子。因为它是隐形的，所以很难坐在上面，但如果你把它带到学校，并设法坐在上面，你就能分辨出谁是你真正的朋友。)”可知，爷爷告诉Mario如果他可以坐到这把隐形的椅子上，那么Mario就可以知道谁是自己真正的朋友。由此可知，爷爷给Mario隐形椅子的目的是为了测试谁是他真正的朋友。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air.(这次他坐着，在半空中悬停。)”和倒数第二段中的“Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall.(Mario环顾四周，看到George、Lucas和Diana——他最好的三个朋友——扶着他，这样他就不会掉下去。)”可知，Mario的三个最好的朋友扶住了他，所以他才能悬空坐。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends. (现在他知道那些在我们困难时幸灾乐祸的人不是我们真正的朋友。)”可推断，真正的朋友是在我们处于困境时，真正关心我们，帮助我们的人。倒数第二段中Mario的三个朋友的做法也证明了这一点。故选C。 It’s a hot time for Chinese language learning across the world, not only because of China’s higher position in the world but also because of the increasing economic and cultural connections between China and the other countries. For example, the United Arab Emirates(UAE)plans to open Chinese language courses in 200 public primary and middle schools, so experienced Chinese teachers are needed. Other Chinese courses opened across the world show the increasing need for Chinese-speaking talent. Mandarin(普通话)became an elective(选修的)foreign language in Russia＇s college entrance exam.

Last year about 8,000 people took the Chinese Proficiency Test(HSK) exam. The number of people who took the test was the biggest, according to Xinhua News Agency. In the USA, learning Chinese has been growing fast for many years and is now a popular choice for American children, especially those who were born in rich families.

Last year about 8,000 people took the Chinese Proficiency Test(HSK) exam.(西班牙有4万多人学习汉语。去年约有8000人参加了汉语水平考试(HSK)。)”可知，西班牙有4万多人学习汉语。去年约有8000人参加了汉语水平考试(HSK)，即学习汉语的西班牙人中约有五分之一参加了HSK考试。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The children begin to learn Chinese at an early age because their parents believe that learning Chinese will help them build successful international business.(孩子们在很小的时候就开始学习中文，因为他们的父母相信学习中文可以帮助他们建立成功的国际业务。)”可知，在美国父母让孩子很小就学习中卫，因为他们相信学习中文可以帮助他们建立成功的国际业务，即学习汉语是有帮助的。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“It’s a hot time for Chinese language learning across the world, not only because of China’s higher position in the world but also because of the increasing economic and cultural connections between China and the other countries.(现在是全世界学习汉语的热门时期，这不仅是因为中国在世界上的地位越来越高，还因为中国与其他国家之间的经济和文化联系越来越紧密。)”以及通读全文可知，全球范围内学习中文的热潮正在兴起，不仅因为中国在世界地位的提高，还因为中国与其他国家之间日益增长的经济和文化联系。世界各地正开设越来越多的中文课程，需要有经验的中文教师。文章列举了阿拉伯联合酋长国、西班牙以及美国的例子来就此说明。B选项“Chinese language learning is popular around the world.( 汉语学习在全世界都很流行。)”概括文章主要内容，符合文章标题。故选B。 Check out our tsunami facts and learn some interesting information related to these great walls of water that can cause so much destruction Find out what causes tsunamis and read about some notable recent examples of tsunamis that have occurred around the globe. Tsunamis are huge waves of water that are usually caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. As a tsunami approaches the shore, water may move back from the coast. If it is shallow enough, the water may be pulled back hundreds of meters. If you are in the area, observing this is a good indication that a tsunami is on the way. Regions in tsunami danger zones often have warning systems in place to give people as much time to evacuate as possible. When tsunamis hit shallow water (often near the coast), they slow down but increase in height. An earthquake in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia in December 2004 caused a tsunami that killed over 200,000 people in 14 countries. In March 2011, the Tohoku earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan caused a tsunami that was a major factor in the death of over 15,000 people. The tsunami waves created by the Tohoku earthquake reached heights of over 40 metres (131 feet) in mine areas, wiping out coastal towns and causing a number of nuclear accidents. The Japanese word “tsunami” literally means “harbour wave”. Tsunamis are sometimes referred to as tidal waves but this term has fallen out of favour because tsunamis are not related to tides. 12. Which of the following shows a tsunami is coming soon? A. The water near the shore is pulled back. B. The water marches towards the coast. C. An earthquake takes place. D. The water near the shore is very shallow. 13. In the Tohoku earthquake, over 15,000 people died mainly because of ________. A. the earthquake itself B. the lack of warning systems C. the tsunami caused by the earthquake D. the nuclear accidents caused by the tsunami 14. What does the underlined word “evacuate” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Leave. B. Watch. C. Explore. D. Communicate. 15. What can we learn from the passage? A. There is no sign before the approach of a tsunami. B. More people died in Indonesia tsunami than in Tohoku tsunami. C. Some nuclear accidents happened after Indonesia tsunami. D. The term “tidal wave” is used more often than “tsunami.” 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了海啸的危害并举了一些例子。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“As a tsunami approaches the shore, water may move back from the coast. If it is shallow enough, the water may be pulled back hundreds of meters. If you are in the area, observing this is a good indication that a tsunami is on the way.（当海啸接近海岸时，海水可能会从海岸回流。如果它足够浅，水可能被拉回数百米。如果你在该地区，观察这是一个很好的迹象，表明海啸即将来临。）”可知，海岸附近的水向后退去了，可显示海啸即将来临。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In March 2011, the Tohoku earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan caused a tsunami that was a major factor in the death of over 15,000 people.（2011年3月，日本东海岸附近的东北地震引发了海啸，这是造成15 000多人死亡的主要因素。）”可知，在日本东北部的地震中，超过15000人死亡，主要是因为地震引发的海啸。故选C。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词前半句“Regions in tsunami danger zones often have warning systems in place to give people as much time to（处于海啸危险区的地区通常设有预警系统，以便给人们尽可能多的时间）”可知，设有预警系统是为了提醒人们尽可能地撤离，所以evacuate为“逃离”之意。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“An earthquake in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia in December 2004 caused a tsunami that killed over 200,000 people in 14 countries. In March 2011, the Tohoku earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan caused a tsunami that was a major factor in the death of over 15,000 people.（2004年12月，印度尼西亚附近的印度洋发生地震，引发海啸，造成14个国家20多万人死亡。2011年3月，日本东海岸附近的东北地震引发了海啸，这是造成15 000多人死亡的主要因素。）”根据印度尼西亚和日本东海岸附近的东北地震死亡人数数字比较可知，印度尼西亚海啸的死亡人数比东北部海啸的死亡人数还多。故选B。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 All parents know that young children are always energetic, eager to run, jump and play.

However, he wasn’t sure whether or not his classmates were his true friends, so he asked his grandpa. The old man answered, “I have just exactly what you need; it’s in the attic (阁楼). Wait here for a minute.” Grandpa left, soon returning as though carrying something in his hand, but Mario could see nothing there. “Take it. It’s a very special chair. Because it’s invisible (无形的) it’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and you manage to sit on it, you’ll be able to tell who your true friends are.” Mario took the strange invisible chair and went to school. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. “Nobody move. You’re about to see something amazing,” Mario said. Then Mario tried sitting on the chair. He missed and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone had a pretty good laugh. Mario wouldn’t be beaten. He kept trying to sit on the magic chair, and kept falling to the ground... until, suddenly, he tried again and didn’t fall. This time he sat, hovering (悬停) in mid-air. Looking around, Mario saw George, Lucas, and Diana — three of his best friends — holding him up, so he wouldn’t fall. At the same time, many others he had thought of as friends were doing nothing but make fun of him, enjoying each and every fall. Leaving with his three friends, Mario explained to them how his grandpa had so cleverly thought of such a good idea. Now he knows that those who take joy in our misfortunes (不幸) when we are in difficulty are not our true friends. 4. What did Mario’s grandpa take from the attic? A. An invisible chair. B.

Check out our tsunami facts and learn some interesting information related to these great walls of water that can cause so much destruction. Find out what causes tsunamis and read about some notable recent examples of tsunamis that have occurred around the globe. Tsunamis are huge waves of water that are usually caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions. As a tsunami approaches the shore, water may move back from the coast. If it is shallow enough, the water may be pulled back hundreds of meters. If you are in the area, observing this is a good indication that a tsunami is on the way. Regions in tsunami danger zones often have warning systems in place to give people as much time to evacuate as possible. When tsunamis hit shallow water (often near the coast), they slow down but increase in height. An earthquake in the Indian Ocean off Indonesia in December 2004 caused a tsunami that killed over 200,000 people in 14 countries. In March 2011, the Tohoku earthquake off the eastern coast of Japan caused a tsunami that was a major factor in the death of over 15,000 people. The tsunami waves created by the Tohoku earthquake reached heights of over 40 metres (131 feet) in mine areas, wiping out coastal towns and causing a number of nuclear accidents. The Japanese word “tsunami” literally means “harbour wave” Tsunamis are sometimes referred to as tidal waves but this term has fallen out of favour because tsunamis are not related to tides. 12. Which of the following shows a tsunami is coming soon? A. The water near the shore is pulled back. B. The water marches towards the coast. C. An earthquake takes place. D. The water near the shore is very shallow. 13. In the Tohoku earthquake, over 15,000 people died mainly because of ________. A. the earthquake itself B. the lack of warning systems C. the tsunami caused by the earthquake D. the nuclear accidents caused by the tsunami 14. What does the underlined word “evacuate” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Leave. B. Watch. C. Explore. D. Communicate. 15. What can we learn from the passage? A. There is no sign before the approach of a tsunami. B. More people died in Indonesia tsunami than in Tohoku tsunami. C. Some nuclear accidents happened after Indonesia tsunami. D. The term “tidal wave” is used more often than “tsunami.” 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 All parents know that young children are always energetic, eager to run, jump and play.
