The history of Zozobra Artist William Howard "Will"Shuster Jr.created the first Zozobra in 1924 as the signature highlight of a private party for Los Cinco Pintores,a group of artists and writers who made their way to New Mexico in the 1920s.Shuster drew inspiration from Mexico's Yaqui Indians and their traditions,where an effigy()is led around the village on a donkey()and then set alight.The painter named his 6-foot-tall effigy Zozobra,a Spanish word meaning“pain”or“anxiety'”, Celebrating a century-old tradition "Zozobra is a tradition here,"says New Mexico History Museum Curator Hannah Abelbeck. "Zozobra wouldn't exist unless Santa Fe cared about it and invested in it."To celebrate the festival's birthday,Abelbeck's museum,located in downtown Santa Fe,has opened a new,two-year-long exhibition(that explores Zozobra's history and cultural influences. Putting fears into the fire As always in the weeks before Zozobra's burning,people dutifully write down their fears and anxieties on pieces of paper and drop them into boxes.These are collected and their contents filled inside the effigy,adding additional fuel for the fire.A crowd of 75,000 people is expected to come to Fort Marey,a local park that's a five-minute drive from Santa Fe's Central Plaza,to see the impressive view.As night falls,the dancing Fire Spirit appears and then lights the effigy in the hope of putting people's fears into the fire. 21.What inspired Shuster to create the Zozobra Festival? A.Celebrations in his hometown. B.Eye-catching artworks by his friends. C.Well-designed language training courses. D.Traditions in the Yaqui Indian communities. 22.Why does New Mexico History Museum host the great exhibition? A.To explore the history of Mexico. B.To show the changes the state has seen. C.To mark the birthday of Zozobra. D.To honor writers from around the world. 23.What do people hope to do by burning the effigy? A.Welcome the New Year. B.Destroy worrisome feelings. C.Face hardships fearlessly. D.Be careful about possible fires. B In the past two years,tennis has made its way into homes in an unexpected way.Belgian eco-designer Mathilde Wittock is turning wasted tennis balls into custom-made furniture().She creates modern chairs and benches,using tennis balls as cushions().A chair might contain 500 balls,while her benches use around 270,combining style with comfort. "It takes around 24 different manufacturing steps to make a tennis ball,which is around five days. Then it has such a short life,"said Wittock."I was looking into tennis balls because I played tennis myself,so I know there is a lot of waste. Around 300 million tennis balls are produced every year,and nearly all end up in landfills.where they take more than 400 years to decompose.Major events like the US Open use around 70,000 balls each year,with Wimbledon using about 55,000.The lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played. Wittock started to see the design possibilities of the sporting equipment when she was studying at Central Saint Martins art school in London."Iwas really interested in eco-design and where I sourced my material." she said."And I realized that it was always very difficult to follow the history of materials.You never know where they come from,or how they've been processed.I got really angry at that." To create her furniture,Wittock cuts each tennis ball by hand,choosing colors to match her customers'homes.It takes her about three to four weeks to make one chair.For Wittock,the key to eco-design is circularity-ensuring that materials can be reused or recycled.When her furniture reaches the end of its life,the tennis balls are carefully taken apart,and the rubber()recycled into playground mats. 24.What is special about the furniture created by Wittock? A.It is made of tennis balls. B.It has a traditional style. C.It fits all people's homes. D.It is reasonably priced. 25.How many tennis balls are used at Wimbledon each year? A.About 400. B.About 500. C.About 55,000. D.About 70,000. 26.Which is Wittock's requirement for the materials used in furniture? A.She can know where they are produced. B.They are cheap at the market. C.She can process them in a local factory. D.They come from the same place. 27.What can we know about Wittock's furniture? A.It is designed by athletes. B.It is environment-friendly. C.It benefits all sports fans. D.It features a very short life C Florence,a historic city in Italy known for its Renaissance art and architecture,is taking action to cut overtourism.The city has introduced new measures,including banning()key boxes used by short-term rental landlords and restricting the use of loudspeakers by tour guides.These steps come after complaints()from the locals,who are struggling with the growing number of tourists. Florence,located in Tuscany,has long been a popular destination for travelers.However,in recent years,the number of visitors has sharply increased,putting pressure on the city's housing market and its residents.Many people have been forced out due to rising living costs. To address these issues,the city's government has approved()a 10-point plan to reduce the impact of tourism.One of the key actions is to ban key boxes-combination-protected lockboxes used by landlords for easy check-ins.These were used in the city's UNESCO-listed historic center,home to famous works by artists such as Botticelli,Michelangelo and Giotto. The plan also targets the use of "atypical vehicles",like golf carts,which tour guides use to show visitors around the city in areas where cars are not allowed.The use of loudspeakers by tour guides will also be banned in these areas. These changes are part of an effort to make Florence a living and unique city for both the locals and tourists.The city council noted that there has been a sharp rise in the number of tourists,with more than 7.8 million visitors in just the first nine months of 2024. Florence is the latest of several destinations to introduce measures to cut mass tourism.Last week, the archaeological site of Pompeii said it would be capping daily visitors at 20,000 and requiring personalized tickets. However,Italy's Tourism Minister Daniela Santanche suggested that overtourism in Italy is caused by poor management,and instead of cutting mass tourism,the country should focus on improving the experience for visitors. 28.What can we learn about Florence according to the text? A.It stops the use of loudspeakers. C.It has long been a draw for visitors. B.It plans to lift the ban in two weeks. 29.Why does Florence introduce the new measures? D.It turns a blind eye to the complaints. A.To build a livable city. C.To attract more tourists. B.To cut the cost of the trade. D.To better control air traffic. 30.What does the underlined word "capping"in paragraph 6 mean? A.Increasing. B.Inspiring. C.Watching. D.Limiting. 31.What did Santanche want to say about overtourism in Italy? A.It lies in the rapid growth of a city. B.It is a product of mismanagement. C.It can be solved by the new efforts. D.It is caused by ill-mannered visitors. 0 Learning to play a musical instrument can be more than just an enjoyable hobby.Whether it's playing the piano,taking some guitar lessons,joining your school band,or starting a rock group, playing a musical instrument may help improve your mind.If people wonder what you're up to,tell them you're doing something important.You may be making yourself a little bit smarter. A new study shows that young children who learn to sing or play a musical instrument might have a slight advantage over those who don't take music lessons. The study focused on 132 first graders in Canada.The researchers,from the University of Toronto at Mississauga,randomly()put the students into three groups.One group took weekly lessons with instruments,such as violin and piano.The second group took singing lessons.The third group went to drama class. All the participants(took IQ tests at the beginning and at the end of the first grade.Overall. average soores went up for all groups.But kids who took piano or violin lessons scored higher marks.Their IQ scores went up 7.0 points on average,compared with 4.3 points for kids in the other two groups. The difference may seem small,and the music students probably won't end up getting higher grades or having greater success later in life.Even so,the researchers believe the results are still meaningful.Playing a musical instrument requires kids to pay more attention and memorize things.The process of reading music and mastering finger placement is connected with fine motor skills and even better hand-eye coordination().These types of experiences may have positive effects on the developing brains of young people. So,why not pick up an instrument like a guitar or violin?It's a great way to improve yourself and bring more music into the world.After all,who wouldn't want to make the world sound better? 32.What happened to the first group of students at the end of the first grade? A.They disliked other after-school activities. B.They fell in love with musical instruments. C.They scored higher marks in the music test. D.They had a bigger increase in their IQ scores. 33.What can we infer from paragraph 5? A.The music students are sure to achieve success. B.It is a must for students to practice coordination. C.Playing music is a powerful tool for brain development. D.The result of the experiment makes little sense in real life 34.What is the author's opinion about picking up a musical instrument?
