The White Nights Festival was first celebrated in 1992.In 2011，it received worldly recognition as a cultural event.It can help strengthen the cultural communication between Russia and the whole world.It was also created to improve the image of Russia and promote it as a world center for the arts. The White Nights Festival normally begins with a performance of the Stars of the White Nights.This performance is a must-see event that takes place at the Marinsky Theatre.It is an excellent production that combines historical artistic works and modern pieces.In addition，there are musical performances in the form of ballets，classical music and operas.Other events occur outside of the Stars of the White Nights，among which the most famous one is the over-night opening of some of Saint Petersburg’s most important museums and art galleries.Entry is free and visitors can admire collections of art and other exhibits after midnight. The climax(高潮) of the White Nights Festival is the “Scarlet Saints” celebration，which is a celebration for students graduating from high school and is held on the weekend closest to the summer solstice(夏至)．It has become popular with people from all walks of life thanks to the huge fireworks display，open air concerts and the multi-level water and light show.On the Neva River，a boat with red sails crosses the water，wishing graduates a smooth journey into adulthood where they can realize their ambitions. This year the artistic director of the White Nights Festival is Valery Gergiev.He ensures that the White Nights Festival is an inclusive event that both children and adults can attend.Children look forward to the celebration of the end of the school year at the festival which is highlighted by the fireworks display.The events will be tailored towards the satisfaction of all attendees no matter their age or gender. 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是俄罗斯的一个国际艺术音乐节——“白夜节”的相关信息。 1．What is the main purpose of the White Nights Festival? A．To make Russia a famous tourist attraction. B．To promote cultural exchanges internationally. C．To attract the interest from worldwide musicians. D．To change people’s impression of Saint Petersburg. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It can help strengthen the cultural communication between Russia and the whole world.It was also created to improve the image of Russia and promote it as a world center for the arts ”可知，“白夜节”有助于加强俄罗斯与全世界的文化交流，促使其成为世界艺术中心，由此可知，该艺术节是为了促进国际文化交流。故选B。 2．What can we learn about the Stars of the White Nights? A．It allows people to visit museums for free. B．It contains different types of musical performances. C．It mainly reflects the modernity of Russian art. D．It provides music lovers with many professional courses. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It is an excellent production that combines historical artistic works and modern pieces.In addition，there are musical performances in the form of ballets，classical music and operas.”可知，“白夜之星”表演中含有各种形式的音乐表演。故选B。 3．What’s the significance of the Scarlet Saints show? A．It draws public attention to river protection. B．It helps prove the acting talent of some graduates. C．It offers service jobs to people from all walks of life. D．It expresses people’s wishes for the younger generation’s growth. 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“On the Neva River，a boat with red sails crosses the water，wishing graduates a smooth journey into adulthood where they can realize their ambitions.”可知，在表演中，一艘红帆船划过水面送上对毕业生的祝愿，由此推断，“猩红圣徒”表演的意义是表达人们对年轻一代成长的祝愿。故选D。 4．What is Valery Gergiev’s expectation? A．Local children can receive higher education. B．His works can be praised by international artists. C．All the attendees will be satisfied with the festival. D．The festival will include more colorful outdoor activities. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“He ensures that the White Nights Festival is an inclusive event that both children and adults can attend.”以及“The events will be tailored towards the satisfaction of all attendees no matter their age or gender.”可知，在此次“白夜节”中，Valery Gergiev确保儿童和成年人都参与其中，并且活动为所有人量身定做，无论年龄和性别，由此可推知，Valery Gergiev的期望是所有参加者都会对节日感到满意。故选C。 B As long as there has been the celebration of Christmas，there have been discussions about when is the right time to start decorating.Though there is no right time，it has been proved that the earlier you decorate for Christmas，the happier you are.Some people think that December 1st is the correct time to start decorating for Christmas，but is there such a thing? A study done by the Journal of Environmental Psychology states: While no one day is better than any others，the earlier you decide to decorate for Christmas，the happier you are.Neighbors see people who decorate for Christmas early as being more friendly and cheerful than those who decorate for Christmas late，or not at all. The Christmas season means many different things for many different people，and in most cases，the feelings are positive.Seeing the bright lights and multicolored baubles(圣诞树装饰球) brings many people feelings of joy and nostalgia(怀旧)． While nowadays Christmas trees are decorated with electric lights and glass baubles，things weren’t so different 200 years ago.In those days，trees would be decorated with dried fruits，wrapped candies，as well as garlands(花环) made from popcorn and small berries，and everything would be lit up with lots of candles. Now，presents are usually kept under the tree，but then，the presents were the decorations.The fruit and candies with which people decorated the trees of the past so beautifully would be taken down and handed out among the children at the end of the night.For some of the children in less wealthy households，this was often the only candy they would receive all year and so it was always a special occasion. So，while it may strike people as too early to see decorated houses in November，the people that put up those decorations are just trying to spread their Christmas cheer. 5．How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A．By telling a sad story. B．By raising an argument. C．By making a definition. D．By stating an odd event. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段中“As long as there has been the celebration of Christmas，there have been discussions about when is the right time to start decorating.”可推知，作者通过提出论点，引出文章的主题：装饰圣诞节的时间点与人们的心情的关系。故选B。 6．What decorations did people use for Christmas 200 years ago? A．Dried fruits and wrapped candies. B．Electric lights and glass baubles. C．Garlands made from fresh flowers. D．Presents piled under the tree. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第四中“...things weren’t so different 200 years ago.In those days，trees would be decorated with dried fruits，wrapped candies，as well as garlands(花环) made from popcorn and small berries，and everything would be lit up with lots of candles.”可知，200年前的圣诞节人们用干果、包好的糖果以及用爆米花和小浆果做成的花环来装饰圣诞树。故选A。 7．How would people deal with the decorations in old days? A．They would leave them untouched. B．They would pile them under the tree. C．They would get them down and give them to kids. D．They would take them down and put them aside for the next year. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第五段中“The fruit and candies...would be taken down and handed out among the children at the end of the night.”可知，在过去，人们会把圣诞树上的装饰品取下来，分发给孩子们。故选C。 8．What is the best title for the text? A．Christmas Decorations，Kids’ Favorite Presents B．The Development of the Christmas Decorations C．The New Decorations for Christmas Will Make People Happier D．People Putting Up Christmas Decorations Earlier Tend to Be Happier 答案　D 解析　标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其根据第二段内容可知，文章主要阐述了圣诞节装饰的合适时间及其对人们的影响——更早布置圣诞饰品的人们往往更快乐，所以D项为本文的最佳标题。故选D。 Ⅲ.完形填空(每小题1分，满分15分) One Thanksgiving Day，my best friend，Jane，and I found out our teacher Edward was having some financial(经济的) difficulties，so we decided to help.
