These festivals bring joy and excitement to the people. Let’s take a look at some of these fascinating festivals. Tomato Fight Country: Spain Duration: 60 minutes On the last Wednesday of August, Buñol’s streets turn red as 20,000 people throw soft tomatoes for exactly 60 minutes. The mayor starts the event with a rocket whistle. Rules made in 2018 say everyone must wear plastic glasses and no shirts with hard buttons. After cleaning, locals use leftover tomatoes to make fertilizer for farms. About 120 tons of tomatoes are used, all grown nearby just for this festival. Color Throw Country: India Duration: a few days Every spring Indians celebrate by throwing bright powders made from flowers and spices. The colors stand for happiness and health. In big cities like Delhi, color-throwing planes help spread powder over crowds. Money from visitors offers new water tanks in dry villages. At night, families share sweets made with rose water and nuts. Viking Fire Night Country: Scotland Duration: a night In January, Scottish towns light huge bonfires and burn wooden Viking ships. Teams spend 8 months making the ships from old wood. Over 500 people carry handmade torches in a nighttime parade. Firefighters spray water around the fires to protect nearby houses. The smoke smells like pine trees because of special wood used. Sky Lanterns Country: Thailand Duration: a few hours During November’s full moon, people in Chiang Mai write wishes on thin paper lanterns. New rules since 2020 require lanterns to use eco-friendly glue that dissolves in rain. Weather apps tell the best time to release lanterns safely. At temples, electric lights shaped like candles create a golden glow all night. 21. What materials must Spanish participants take in Tomato Fight? A. Plastic glasses. B. Shirts with hard buttons. C. Water tanks. D. Electric lights. 22. Which festival lasts the longest? A. Tomato Fight. B. Color Throw. C. Viking Fire Night. D. Sky Lanterns. 23. What do the four festivals have in common? A. They are all held during specific seasons of the year. B. They all require participants to follow strict safety rules. C They all use fire as an essential element in their activities. D. They all involve the use of natural materials that are later reused. B Do you ever throw old things into the dustbin? Yes, we all have this kind of experience, but many of us still haven’t taken part in a festival for that. In a small town in California, the community center hosts a monthly recycling festival where residents bring various recyclables like old newspapers, plastic bottles, and metal cans and local volunteers are on-hand to guide the proper sorting. Moreover, people exchange ideas on recycling, and children are taught how different materials can be transformed into new items. “I used to throw everything in one bin. But after coming to these festivals, I understand the importance of sorting,” said a local resident, Sarah. What other things can we do for the environment? The government set a rule for gardening with native plants across the nation. Native plants are adapted to the local climate, requiring less water and fewer pesticides. In Portland, Oregon, many households have replaced their traditional lawns (草坪) with gardens filled with native flowers and grasses. These gardens not only beautify the neighborhood but also provide habitats for local wildlife. “Our garden has become a home for bees and butterflies. It’s wonderful to see them flying around, and it’s all thanks to our choice of native plants,” said Tom, a Portland homeowner. Another popular environmental proposal is the use of reusable items. In cities like New York, coffee shops advertise the benefits of recycling and encourage customers to bring their own reusable cups by offering a small discount. Grocery stores also promote the use of reusable bags with posters telling people the benefits of reusing bags. A shopper, Lisa, shared, “I always carry a reusable bag with me when I go shopping. It’s a simple step, but it helps reduce plastic waste significantly.” 24. What is the main purpose of the monthly recycling festival in California? A. To provide jobs for local volunteers. B. To sell recycled products to residents. C. To promote sorting of recyclables. D. To teach children how to use old materials. 25. What is the main feature of the local plants in the gardening? A. Adjusting to the local climate. B. Creating habitats for wildlife. C. Growing faster than traditional lawns. D. Attracting bees and butterflies. 26. How do New York coffee shops encourage reusable cups? A. By providing more coffee. B. By giving a reduction. C. By offering free drinks. D. By gifting a bag. 27 What is the key factor in successfully promoting environmental actions? A. Strict government regulations. B. Combination of education and participation. C. Large-scale financial investments. D. Advanced technological innovations. C Music research, an interdisciplinary area, combines knowledge from music-study, brain-science, psychology, and more. It explores how music affects our brains, makes us feel emotions, and influences our thinking abilities. In music education, research reveals students’ diverse learning capabilities. Young kids, highly sensitive to sounds, can easily understand basic concepts through simple songs like “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”. A recent study shows that when teachers employ colorful flashcards with musical notes, kids’ learning speed increases by 30%. As students grow, more complex structures such as harmony and counterpoint can be introduced. Teenagers can enhance critical thinking by forming school bands or analyzing classic compositions. Teachers can design engaging methods, like music-themed board games where students identify musical elements. Music research is also crucial for music therapy. As a non-drug treatment, it effectively addresses mental and neurological (神经的) disorders. It helps stroke survivors regain language skills; a case study showed a patient recovering 40% more language function with music therapy. It helps Parkinson’s patients move more smoothly and relieves anxiety and depression. Therapists (治疗师) apply music patterns founded on research. For example, they use slow-tempo music to calm patients who are suffering from anxiety. For music creation, composers draw inspiration from how people understand and respond to music. New technologies like fMRI, PET, and EEG offer insights. The fMRI indicates which areas of the brain respond to various music genres. This helps composers bring out particular emotions in their works. These technologies enable advanced music-writing tools, providing choices such as creating unique chords according to popular music trends. In short, music research enriches our understanding of music and guides education, therapy, and creation. With research advancements, more exciting discoveries are expected. 28. How can teachers help young kids learn music more effectively? A. By making them analyze classic compositions. B. By asking them to form school bands at a young age. C. By using uncomplicated tunes and multicolored flashcards. D. By teaching them complex music structures from the beginning. 29. What is the effect of music therapy on Parkinson’s patients? A. It can completely cure Parkinson’s disease. B. It improves Parkinson’s patients’ movement. C. It helps Parkinson’s patients recover language skills. D. It helps Parkinson’s patients regain their lost memories. 30. What can be inferred from the use of new technologies in music research? A. People will lose interest in traditional music genres. B. Composers will no longer need to learn music theory. C. These technologies will replace traditional music-writing methods. D. These technologies will lead to more diverse and innovative music works. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The role of music in people’s daily lives. B. The development of new technologies in music research. C. The process of music education for students of different ages. D. The importance and applications of music research in different fields. D The Atlas of Forgotten Memories — A Story About Healing After War British writer Catherine Lacey’s new book The Atlas of Forgotten Memories tells a powerful story about a woman rebuilding her life after World War II. The novel, which was a finalist for the 2023 Booker Prize, follows Clara Vogel, a German-Jewish mapmaker living in London during the 1950s. Clara tries to forget her painful memories of the Holocaust (the killing of Jews during WWⅡ) but finds that the past is everywhere in the maps she creates. The book has received praise for its careful details. Newspapers like The Guardian say Clara’s maps are more than just pictures of cities — they show her feelings. For example, broken buildings on her maps represent sadness, while new parks stand for hope. The story jumps between Clara’s life in 1950s London and her childhood in 1930s Berlin, with 18 hand-drawn maps helping readers follow the timeline. What makes this book special is how it talks about silence. Instead of describing war violence directly, Lacey focuses on what people don’t say. In one important scene, Clara burns her old diaries, and the ashes leave marks on a map of Hamburg. The New York Times writes: “The empty spaces on the maps tell us more than words ever could.” Some historians disagree with how the book shows real historical events. A character based on a true city planner, Hans Reichmann, makes some readers angry because they think it simplifies how Germany changed after the war. However, most agree the book successfully indicates how both cities and people can rebuild themselves. Published in 32 countries, Atlas has started important conversations about how families pass down painful memories. While the map-filled format might confuse some readers, those who keep reading discover a beautiful story about courage. As Lacey explained: “Maps don’t just show places — they help us imagine new futures.” 32. What is a unique feature of the book’s structure? A. It describes her childhood stories. B. It uses poetry to describe emotions. C. It focuses mainly on historical facts. D. It includes maps to connect past and present. 33. What does “The empty spaces on the maps” refer to in The New York Times quote? A. Missing geographic details. B. Areas destroyed by war. C. Unspoken emotions and memories. D. Future city plans. 34. What do most readers agree the book successfully shows? A. How cities and individuals can reconstruct themselves. B. The anger caused by misrepresenting historical figures. C. The complete historical accuracy of international politics. D. The oversimplified role of Hans Reichmann in rebuilding efforts. 35. What is the main goal of Catherine Lacey’s book according to the article? A. To show the writing skill about wars. B. To discuss how to pass down memories. C. To document historical events accurately. D. To explore healing through memory and rebuilding. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In our daily school life, students are often loaded with a lot of schoolwork.

These festivals bring joy and excitement to the people. Let’s take a look at some of these fascinating festivals. Tomato Fight Country: Spain Duration: 60 minutes On the last Wednesday of August, Buñol’s streets turn red as 20,000 people throw soft tomatoes for exactly 60 minutes. The mayor starts the event with a rocket whistle. Rules made in 2018 say everyone must wear plastic glasses and no shirts with hard buttons. After cleaning, locals use leftover tomatoes to make fertilizer for farms. About 120 tons of tomatoes are used, all grown nearby just for this festival. Color Throw Country: India Duration: a few days Every spring, Indians celebrate by throwing bright powders made from flowers and spices. The colors stand for happiness and health. In big cities like Delhi, color-throwing planes help spread powder over crowds. Money from visitors offers new water tanks in dry villages. At night, families share sweets made with rose water and nuts. Viking Fire Night Country: Scotland Duration: a night In January, Scottish towns light huge bonfires and burn wooden Viking ships. Teams spend 8 months making the ships from old wood. Over 500 people carry handmade torches in a nighttime parade. Firefighters spray water around the fires to protect nearby houses. The smoke smells like pine trees because of special wood used. Sky Lanterns Country: Thailand Duration: a few hours During November’s full moon, people in Chiang Mai write wishes on thin paper lanterns. New rules since 2020 require lanterns to use eco-friendly glue that dissolves in rain. Weather apps tell the best time to release lanterns safely. At temples, electric lights shaped like candles create a golden glow all night. 21. What materials must Spanish participants take in Tomato Fight? A. Plastic glasses. B. Shirts with hard buttons. C.

Yes, we all have this kind of experience, but many of us still haven’t taken part in a festival for that. In a small town in California, the community center hosts a monthly recycling festival where residents bring various recyclables like old newspapers, plastic bottles, and metal cans and local volunteers are on-hand to guide the proper sorting. Moreover, people exchange ideas on recycling, and children are taught how different materials can be transformed into new items. “I used to throw everything in one bin. But after coming to these festivals, I understand the importance of sorting,” said a local resident, Sarah. What other things can we do for the environment? The government set a rule for gardening with native plants across the nation. Native plants are adapted to the local climate, requiring less water and fewer pesticides. In Portland, Oregon, many households have replaced their traditional lawns (草坪) with gardens filled with native flowers and grasses. These gardens not only beautify the neighborhood but also provide habitats for local wildlife. “Our garden has become a home for bees and butterflies. It’s wonderful to see them flying around, and it’s all thanks to our choice of native plants,” said Tom, a Portland homeowner. Another popular environmental proposal is the use of reusable items. In cities like New York, coffee shops advertise the benefits of recycling and encourage customers to bring their own reusable cups by offering a small discount. Grocery stores also promote the use of reusable bags with posters telling people the benefits of reusing bags. A shopper, Lisa, shared, “I always carry a reusable bag with me when I go shopping. It’s a simple step, but it helps reduce plastic waste significantly.” 24. What is the main purpose of the monthly recycling festival in California? A. To provide jobs for local volunteers. B. To sell recycled products to residents. C. To promote sorting of recyclables. D. To teach children how to use old materials. 25. What is the main feature of the local plants in the gardening? A. Adjusting to the local climate. B. Creating habitats for wildlife. C. Growing faster than traditional lawns. D. Attracting bees and butterflies. 26. How do New York coffee shops encourage reusable cups? A. By providing more coffee. B. By giving a reduction. C. By offering free drinks. D. By gifting a bag. 27. What is the key factor in successfully promoting environmental actions? A. Strict government regulations. B. Combination of education and participation. C. Large-scale financial investments. D. Advanced technological innovations. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章通过真实案例展示环保措施的多样性，鼓励读者参与环保实践。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中“In a small town in California, the community center hosts a monthly recycling festival where residents bring various recyclables like old newspapers, plastic bottles, and metal cans and local volunteers are on-hand to guide the proper sorting.(在加利福尼亚州的一个小镇上，社区中心每月举办一次回收节，居民们会带来各种可回收物，如旧报纸、塑料瓶和金属罐，当地志愿者也在现场指导正确的分类)”和当地居民Sarah说的话“But after coming to these festivals, I understand the importance of sorting(但在参加了这些节日后，我明白了分类的重要性)”可知，加州每月一次的回收节的核心是通过志愿者的指导帮助居民正确分类可回收物，且居民明确表示因此学会了分类的重要性，说明活动的主要目的是推广分类行为。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段中“Native plants are adapted to the local climate, requiring less water and fewer pesticides.(当地植物适应当地气候，需要更少的水和更少的杀虫)”可知，本地植物的主要特点是适应本地气候。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。由第四段中“In cities like New York, coffee shops advertise the benefits of recycling and encourage customers to bring their own reusable cups by offering a small discount.(在纽约等城市，咖啡店宣传回收利用的好处，并通过提供小折扣鼓励顾客自带可重复使用的杯子)”可知，纽约咖啡店通过提供小折扣鼓励顾客自带可重复使用的杯子。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。全文通过多个案例说明环保行动的成功需要教育和实践结合。例如：回收节通过志愿指导（教育）和居民参与（实践）；种植本地植物有政府规定（政策）和居民主动改造（参与）；咖啡店通过宣传（教育）和优惠（激励），B选项“教育与实践结合”全面概括了这些措施的共同点。故选B项。 C Music research, an interdisciplinary area, combines knowledge from music-study, brain-science, psychology, and more. It explores how music affects our brains, makes us feel emotions, and influences our thinking abilities. In music education, research reveals students’ diverse learning capabilities. Young kids, highly sensitive to sounds, can easily understand basic concepts through simple songs like “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”. A recent study shows that when teachers employ colorful flashcards with musical notes, kids’ learning speed increases by 30%. As students grow, more complex structures such as harmony and counterpoint can be introduced. Teenagers can enhance critical thinking by forming school bands or analyzing classic compositions. Teachers can design engaging methods, like music-themed board games where students identify musical elements. Music research is also crucial for music therapy. As a non-drug treatment, it effectively addresses mental and neurological (神经的) disorders. It helps stroke survivors regain language skills; a case study showed a patient recovering 40% more language function with music therapy. It helps Parkinson’s patients move more smoothly and relieves anxiety and depression. Therapists (治疗师) apply music patterns founded on research. For example, they use slow-tempo music to calm patients who are suffering from anxiety. For music creation, composers draw inspiration from how people understand and respond to music. New technologies like fMRI, PET, and EEG offer insights. The fMRI indicates which areas of the brain respond to various music genres. This helps composers bring out particular emotions in their works. These technologies enable advanced music-writing tools, providing choices such as creating unique chords according to popular music trends. In short, music research enriches our understanding of music and guides education, therapy, and creation. With research advancements, more exciting discoveries are expected. 28. How can teachers help young kids learn music more effectively? A. By making them analyze classic compositions. B. By asking them to form school bands at a young age. C. By using uncomplicated tunes and multicolored flashcards. D. By teaching them complex music structures from the beginning. 29. What is the effect of music therapy on Parkinson’s patients? A. It can completely cure Parkinson’s disease. B. It improves Parkinson’s patients’ movement. C. It helps Parkinson’s patients recover language skills. D. It helps Parkinson’s patients regain their lost memories. 30. What can be inferred from the use of new technologies in music research? A. People will lose interest in traditional music genres. B. Composers will no longer need to learn music theory. C. These technologies will replace traditional music-writing methods. D. These technologies will lead to more diverse and innovative music works. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The role of music in people’s daily lives. B. The development of new technologies in music research. C. The process of music education for students of different ages. D. The importance and applications of music research in different fields. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章旨在向读者普及音乐研究这一跨学科领域的相关知识。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Young kids, highly sensitive to sounds, can easily understand basic concepts through simple songs like “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”. A recent study shows that when teachers employ colorful flashcards with musical notes, kids’ learning speed increases by 30%.(幼儿对声音非常敏感，他们可以通过像《小星星》这样的简单歌曲轻松理解基本概念。最近的一项研究表明，当教师使用带有音符的彩色卡片时，孩子们的学习速度提高了30%)”可知，教师可以通过使用简单的曲调和彩色卡片帮助幼儿更有效地学习音乐。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It helps Parkinson’s patients move more smoothly and relieves anxiety and depression.(它能帮助帕金森病患者更顺畅地活动，缓解焦虑和抑郁)”可知，音乐疗法能改善帕金森病患者的运动能力。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The fMRI indicates which areas of the brain respond to various music genres.

These technologies enable advanced music-writing tools, providing choices such as creating unique chords according to popular music trends.(功能性磁共振成像技术显示大脑的哪些区域对不同类型的音乐有反应。这有助于作曲家在作品中表现出特定的情感。这些技术使得先进的音乐创作工具成为可能，提供了根据流行音乐趋势创作独特和弦等选择)”可推知，新技术将带来更多样化和创新性的音乐作品。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Music research, an interdisciplinary area, combines knowledge from music-study, brain-science, psychology, and more. It explores how music affects our brains, makes us feel emotions, and influences our thinking abilities.(音乐研究是一个跨学科领域，它结合了音乐研究、脑科学、心理学等多个领域的知识。它探索音乐如何影响我们的大脑，让我们产生情感，并影响我们的思维能力)”以及结合全文可知，本文说明了音乐在教育、治疗和创作方面的应用可知，这篇文章的主旨是音乐研究在不同领域的重要性和应用。故选D。 D The Atlas of Forgotten Memories — A Story About Healing After War British writer Catherine Lacey’s new book The Atlas of Forgotten Memories tells a powerful story about a woman rebuilding her life after World War II. The novel, which was a finalist for the 2023 Booker Prize, follows Clara Vogel, a German-Jewish mapmaker living in London during the 1950s. Clara tries to forget her painful memories of the Holocaust (the killing of Jews during WWⅡ) but finds that the past is everywhere in the maps she creates. The book has received praise for its careful details. Newspapers like The Guardian say Clara’s maps are more than just pictures of cities — they show her feelings. For example, broken buildings on her maps represent sadness, while new parks stand for hope. The story jumps between Clara’s life in 1950s London and her childhood in 1930s Berlin, with 18 hand-drawn maps helping readers follow the timeline. What makes this book special is how it talks about silence. Instead of describing war violence directly, Lacey focuses on what people don’t say. In one important scene, Clara burns her old diaries, and the ashes leave marks on a map of Hamburg. The New York Times writes: “The empty spaces on the maps tell us more than words ever could.” Some historians disagree with how the book shows real historical events. A character based on a true city planner, Hans Reichmann, makes some readers angry because they think it simplifies how Germany changed after the war. However, most agree the book successfully indicates how both cities and people can rebuild themselves. Published in 32 countries, Atlas has started important conversations about how families pass down painful memories. While the map-filled format might confuse some readers, those who keep reading discover a beautiful story about courage. As Lacey explained: “Maps don’t just show places — they help us imagine new futures.” 32. What is a unique feature of the book’s structure? A. It describes her childhood stories. B. It uses poetry to describe emotions. C. It focuses mainly on historical facts. D. It includes maps to connect past and present. 33. What does “The empty spaces on the maps” refer to in The New York Times quote? A Missing geographic details. B. Areas destroyed by war. C. Unspoken emotions and memories. D. Future city plans. 34. What do most readers agree the book successfully shows? A. How cities and individuals can reconstruct themselves. B. The anger caused by misrepresenting historical figures. C. The complete historical accuracy of international politics. D. The oversimplified role of Hans Reichmann in rebuilding efforts. 35. What is the main goal of Catherine Lacey’s book according to the article? A. To show the writing skill about wars. B. To discuss how to pass down memories. C. To document historical events accurately. D. To explore healing through memory and rebuilding. 【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇书评，主要对英国作家Catherine Lacey的小说The Atlas of Forgotten Memories进行了多方面的介绍与评价。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The story jumps between Clara’s life in 1950s London and her childhood in 1930s Berlin, with 18 hand-drawn maps helping readers follow the timeline.(故事在克拉拉20世纪50年代的伦敦生活与她 20 世纪 30 年代的柏林童年之间来回切换，18幅手绘地图帮助读者了解时间线的进程)”可知，该书结构的独特之处在于通过地图连接过去和现在，故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“What makes this book special is how it talks about silence. Instead of describing war violence directly, Lacey focuses on what people don’t say. (这本书的独特之处在于它对沉默这一主题的探讨方式。莱西并未直接描述战争中的暴力行为，而是着重于人们未曾言说的内容)”以及最后一句“The empty spaces on the maps tell us more than words ever could.”(地图上的空白空间所传达的信息比言语所能表达的还要多)”可知，地图上的空白空间代表着那些未被言说的情感和记忆。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, most agree the book successfully indicates how both cities and people can rebuild themselves.(然而，大多数人认为这本书成功地表明了城市和民众如何能够实现自我重建)”可知，大多数读者认为这本书成功地展现了城市与个人如何实现自我重建。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“British writer Catherine Lacey’s new book The Atlas of Forgotten Memories tells a powerful story about a woman rebuilding her life after World War II.
