Some of these holidays and festivals like the New Year are common across the world. And there are many other holidays that are unknown outside of national borders (边界). Punch Your Neighbor Festival The cities of Potosi and Macha in Bolivia hold the festival in the Bolivian Andes Mountains in May every year. It’s celebrated by thousands of people and it’s based on the Quechua word “Tin ku” that means “meeting”.

Tonight, in the dark, I would finally take it away. If everything went OK, it would be done by morning. But I had to be sure no one, not even my wife, saw me. It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected. I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed. It was partly true. But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan. First I had to get the kids to sleep. That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult. The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early. I told him 10:30 p.m was not early. As usual, I read them a bed time story, but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret. Silence finally came, and feeling like a thief in the night, I went out of the house and into the garage. Taking one end, I dragged (拽) the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden. I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police. It was already eleven o’clock. By the light of the moon I started working, trying to make as little noise as possible. And that was not easy with a saw (锯子) and a hammer (锤). After much effort, my work was finally completed. I looked down at my watch. It was exactly 4:00 a.m. Then I went inside to have a shower and get a few hours of sleep. It wouldn’t be long now before the kids would rush into my room and wake me up to tell me about the new tree-house Father Christmas had brought them this year. ( ) 41. Why did the man feel nervous? A. He left the party too late. B. He was afraid of the darkness. C. He didn’t know where the black bag was. D. He worried that others would discover his secret. ( ) 42. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refers to ______. A. thieves B. parents C. children D. neighbours ( ) 43. In what order did the man do the following? a. Read the kids a story. b. Had a shower. c. Worked in the moonlight. d. Dragged the bag from the garage. e. Went to a party. A. e-d-a-b-c B. e-a-d-c-b C. a-b-e-d-c D. a-e-d-c-b ( ) 44. What did the man want to do after finishing his plan? A. Go to sleep. B. Wake up his children. C. Open the bag. D. Call the police. ( ) 45. How would the children feel when they saw the man’s work? A. Disappointed. B. Excited. C. Tired. D. Angry. C Proper hand washing is a good way of preventing the spread of disease, as it removes the dirt and germs (细菌) that can be spread to others and helps to keep the environment around you clean. Having clean hands is important because people often use their hands to touch their eyes, noses and mouths. Touching these areas gives germs access to the inside of the body where they can cause illness. You should always wash your hands before and after eating, after using the toilet, after blowing your nose, sneezing or coughing, after touching animals … Washing your hands is a simple process that gives great health benefits. There are four simple steps you can take to wash your hands. These are: *Wet your hands with clean, running water. Make sure the water isn’t too hot or too cold. *Rub (擦) soap and lather up (起泡沫) for about 20 seconds. *Make sure you get in between your fingers, on the backs of hands, and under the fingernails (指甲) where germs like to hang out. And don’t forget the wrists (手腕)! *Wash your hands under running water to remove the soap, dirt and germs. Drying your hands is also a step that should not be ignored (忽略) in the cleaning process. Don’t put your hands on your clothes to dry them. Both drying your hands with a paper towel and using a hand dryer without rubbing your hands together are effective at keeping germs away. Rubbing your hands together while drying them under a dryer cancels out (抵消) the benefits of hand washing by bringing germs within the skin to the surface. ( ) 46. Washing your hands properly can ______. A. stop the spread of disease B. spread germs C. kill disease D. help others around you ( ) 47. Which step is not mentioned in the passage while washing your hands? A. Wet your hands with warm water. B. Rub soap carefully between fingers. C. Wash your hands under running water to remove the dirt. D. Turn off the tap (水龙头). ( ) 48. When you wash your hands, make sure you get the soap everywhere except ______. A. fingers B. arms C. fingernails D. wrists ( ) 49. In the writer’s opinion, how can we dry our hands correctly? A. Put our hands on our clothes to dry them. B. Rub our hands together while drying them with a towel. C. Dry our hands using a dryer without rubbing our hands together. D. Just rub our hands together without using anything. ( ) 50. Where can we most probably find the text? A. In a science book. B. In a novel. C. In an ad. D. In a grammar book. 第三节 补全短文（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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。选项中有一项为多余选项。 The world uses about a thousand million tons of water a day. 51 Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water. 52 And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of waste water around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the waste water. While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. 53 It is too salty to drink. Then desalination（淡化）businesses come in. More than 19,000 factories have been built around the worlds mostly in coastal (沿海的) countries. 54 But the technology they use requires a lot of energy. 55 They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone. A. They process more than 92 million tons of water every day. B. Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. C. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. D. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. E. At present, the waste of water is the most serious waste problem. F.

I don’t agree with them. There 56 (be) some advice on learning English. When you learn a new word, don’t just 57 (memory) it. I used to learn words in that way, but it didn’t work.

But when the bad feeling lasts for a long time, it might be depression (抑郁症). The main sign of depression is when kids are sad, down or angry for weeks, months, or even longer. Another sign that a kid might have depression is negative (消极的) thinking. Some kids even try to hurt or kill themselves. Depression can cause lots of problems. Kids with depression often do not eat well or sleep well. They don’t want to take part in group activities and try to stay away from friends or family. What’s worse, some of them might lose interest in schoolwork and give up easily. People used to think depression was a grown-up problem. Now, doctors say that young children can be depressed, too. They did a study of over 100,000 children in the US. They found that depression in many children appears to start as early as age 11. By the time they turn 17, the study found, more than 1 in 10 boys and more than 3 in 10 girls experience depression. Elizabeth Miller works at a children’s hospital in Pennsylvania. She advises people should learn the signs of depression if they work with children. The signs usually last for two weeks or longer. Don’t wait for depression to just go away. Young people with depression should get help from doctors in time.
