Top Four Festivals in the World
Saint Patrick’s Day, Ireland
Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated anywhere in the world where there are the Irish. If you’re going to get involved, there’s no better place than Dublin. This festival runs for five days and five nights in March along with performing arts, literature, tours and food events.
Holi Festival, India
It’s also called the “festival of love” as on the full-moon day in March people get together, forgetting all types of bad feeling towards each other. You’ll mostly see Holi Festival across India and Nepal, but also in other areas with large Hindu populations. It starts by lighting a night-time bonfire (篝火)where people sing and dance. People throw coloured water and powder (粉末) to their friends and families to show love and respect.
Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Scotland
One of the greatest celebrations of arts and culture in the world, the festival runs for three weeks every August throughout the Scottish capital. Artists and performers take to hundreds of stages all over the city to present shows for every taste. The Fringe is run by the Edinburgh Fringe Festival Society to support and encourage the Scottish arts.
Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland
There are plenty of music festivals in Europe, but Montreux Jazz Festival held in October near the Lake Geneva is truly one of a kind and is the second-largest jazz festival in the world. It’s not just jazz, though. You’ll find broad-ranging concerts from pop to rock and blues, and best of all, most of the performances are free.

People from all over the world have different wedding traditions and marriage customs. The one thing that all wedding ceremonies commonly seem to have is the commitment (承诺) of love for all time during a public ceremony.
Everyone at a wedding hopes for great happiness between the wedding couple. Wedding traditions are usually a way of showing signs of the hope for great happiness. Some of these traditions are very interesting.
In Sweden, the traditional bride will wear three rings by the end of the wedding ceremony. The first is the engagement (订婚) ring that she entered the ceremony with. The second, the wedding ring, is added to the first. A final ring, however, is added as well. This ring is known as the “motherhood” ring. This is said to show that marriage is about more than just love. It is about building a family.
Wedding traditions in the Philippines, a dance which can last for hours. During the Philippines, guests pin (用大头针别住) money to the bride’s dress to pay for their honeymoon.

C
It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.
In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the “decline of class” and “classless society” in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.
But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification (分层).
One unchanging aspect of a British person’s class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice. Most people said this accent sounded “educated” and “soft”. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional city accents. These accents were seen as “common” and “ugly”. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.
In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song “Common People” puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may “want to live like common people” they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.
8. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ________.
A. many people think it is time to end class distinction
B. most people think they belong to middle class
C. people consider themselves socially different
D. it is hard to recognize a person’s class
9. The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as ________.
A. regional B. unattractive
C. prejudiced D. educated
10. British attitudes towards accent ________.
A. have a long tradition
B. are based on regional status
C. are shared by the Americans
D. haven’t changed in recent years
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The middle class is expanding. B. A person’s accent reflects his class.
C. Class is a key part of British society. D. Each class has unique characteristics.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要通过两项调查表明了阶级是英国社会的重要组成部分。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences.(最近一项广泛的社会民意调查发现,90%的人仍然把自己放在某个特定的阶层;73%的人认为阶级仍然是英国社会的重要组成部分;52%的人认为仍然存在明显的阶级差异。) ”可知,在关于“阶级消亡说”的调查中,90%的人把自己归入特殊的阶层,73%的人认为阶级仍然是英国社会的重要组成部分,52%的人认为社会阶层之间差异明显,由此推知,英国民众认为他们在社会上仍然是有区别的。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least.(然而,一项针对美国英式口音的类似研究将结果颠倒过来,认为一些地方口音最有吸引力,而BBC英语最没有吸引力。)”可知,美国的这项调查表明BBC英语被认为是最没有吸引力的口音。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.(这表明英国人对口音的态度根深蒂固,是基于阶级偏见。)”可知,英国人对口音的态度根深蒂固并带有偏见。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了阶级划分是英国社会的重要组成部分,文章列举了两项调查,“阶级消亡说”这项调查表明英国民众在社会上仍然是有区别的,在关于“好的口音”调查表明英国的阶级划分根深蒂固,由此可知文章大意是阶级是英国社会的重要组成部分。故选C项。

Social media is taking over our lives: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and now, TikTok (抖音). These social media platforms have transformed from a way to stay connected to an industry where even kids can make money off their posts. While this may seem like another opportunistic (机会主义) innovation, it’s really full of hidden false realities.
The median income (中位收入) recorded in the United States of America was about $63,000 in 2018. TikTokers can make anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000 for a TikTok brand partnership, and TikTokers with over a million followers can make up to $30,000 a month - $360,000 a year. They are making more than the average person trying to feed their family and keep a roof over their heads, simply by posting a 15-second video.
This is mad in more ways than one. Not only is it an overpaid “job”, it promotes unworthy admiration from viewers and a false sense of reality. Many of these famous TikTokers are still teens, and the effects of fame at such an early stage in life might cause issues later in life, such as mental illness. Teens between the ages of 13 and 17 make up 27% of TikTok viewers, who can be easily influenced by what they are watching. They can put a false sense of self-value into who they look up to and what they represent: money, fame, being considered traditionally attractive.
While TikTok has become a great tool for marketing, it’s important to understand how this content affects young viewers. If we’re constantly consuming content that shows us all we need to do to be successful is be traditionally attractive and post a 15-second video featuring a new dance, it will challenge our knowledge of what really makes someone successful and will in turn affect our individual work ethics (伦理). What about the people who miss birthday and family holidays due to their jobs and aren’t getting paid nearly as much as these TikTokers?
Richard Colyer, president and creator of Metaphor, Inc, had his own view on this issue. “It sounds great to make money for doing the latest dance moves in a 15-second video, but we should feed the minds of kids and not just their bank accounts. TikTok can be great if used properly. Money alone is not good, technology alone is not good and connectedness can be bad if it’s only online.”
Again, as a fellow consumer of TikTok, I do enjoy the app when I have some time to kill and need a good laugh. I’ m not against someone making a living on entertainment, but what does getting famous of a 15-second video teach young people?
12. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Social networking. B. Making money on social media.
C. A job offered by TikTok. D. Staying connected to the Internet.
13. What do the numbers given in Paragraph 2 show?
A. TikTokers are earning money easily.
B. All TikTokers are richer than average people.
C. Most TikTokers can become millionaires overnight.
D. TikTokers earn much more than ordinary workers.
14. Which is the possible influence of TikTok on its young users?
A. They tend to live an adult life too soon.
B. They are forced to pay for certain services.
C. They may quit other social media.
D. They are likely to develop false value.
15. What can we infer from Richard Colyer’s comments?
A. TikTok can be a positive influence if teens employ it wisely.
B. Young TikTokers should be banned from making money.
C. It is better to involve education on investment in TikTok videos.
D. Contents of videos need checking before their release online.
16. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Say No to Tik Tok B. Join Young TikTokers
C. TikTok - A Mine of Money D. A Job Vs An Entertainment
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A 16. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文阐述了社交媒体从单纯的社交软件变为赚钱工具的现象,并呼吁青少年用户群体正确使用社交媒体和树立正确的价值观。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据指代关系和第一段的“These social media platforms have transformed from a way to stay connected to an industry where even kids can make money off their posts. While this may seem like another opportunistic (机会主义) innovation, it’s really full of hidden false realities. (这些社交媒体平台已经从一种保持联系的方式转变为一个连孩子都可以从他们的帖子中赚钱的行业。虽然这看起来像是另一个机会主义的创新,但它实际上充满了隐藏的虚假现实。)”可知,this指代上文中“even kids can make money off their posts”这一现象,即“在社交媒体上赚钱”。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“TikTokers can make anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000 for a TikTok brand partnership, and TikTokers with over a million followers can make up to $30,000 a month - $360,000 a year. They are making more than the average person trying to feed their family and keep a roof over their heads, simply by posting a 15-second video. (TikTok品牌合作伙伴关系的TikTok用户可以赚取5万至15万美元的收入,拥有100多万粉丝的TikTok用户每月可以赚取3万美元,即每年36万美元。他们仅仅通过发布一段15秒的视频,就赚了比普通人更多的钱来养家糊口。)”可推知,TikToker很容易赚钱。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Teens between the ages of 13 and 17 make up 27% of TikTok viewers, who can be easily influenced by what they are watching. They can put a false sense of self-value into who they look up to and what they represent: money, fame, being considered traditionally attractive. (13至17岁的青少年占TikTok观众的27%,他们很容易受到所观看内容的影响。他们会把一种错误的自我价值感放在他们所崇拜的人和他们所代表的东西上:金钱、名誉、传统上被认为有吸引力。)”可知,孩子们很容易被观看的内容影响,他们可能会建立错误的自我价值观念,追求传统意义上更加吸引人的金钱和名誉,即年轻的用户可能会树立不正确的价值观。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段Richard Colyer的话“TikTok can be great if used properly. (如果使用恰当的话,TikTok可能会是很棒的。)”可推知,在Richard Colyer看来,如果使用恰当的话,TikTok可能会对青少年有好的影响。故选A项。
【16题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文并结合最后一段“Again, as a fellow consumer of TikTok, I do enjoy the app when I have some time to kill and need a good laugh. I’ m not against someone making a living on entertainment, but what does getting famous of a 15-second video teach young people? (而且,作为它的消费者,当我有时间消磨,需要大笑的时候,我的确喜欢这个软件。我并不反对某人靠娱乐谋生,但是一个15秒的视频教会了年轻人什么呢?)”可知,本文是观点对峙类议论文。文章主要阐述了社交媒体从单纯的社交软件变为赚钱工具的现象,并且很多用户的收入远高于普通人。作者认为抖音应被当作娱乐方式,而不是人们赚钱的工具,因为短短的15秒视频并不能教给青少年太多有价值的东西。因此推断D项A Job Vs An Entertainment (工作还是娱乐) 可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D项。

54. The girl is my cousin. She is performing on the stage now.(用V-ing作定语合并句子)
________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The girl performing on the stage now is my cousin.

或者:It is my great honor to stand here and make/give/deliver a speech.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型、名词和不定式。句子陈述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时;表示“我很荣幸地做某事”应用固定句型It is a great honor for me to do/It is my great honor to do,其中it为形式主语,真正的主语为后面的不定式短语,honor名词,意为“荣幸的事”,作表语;表示“站在这里发表演讲”应用to stand here and make/give/deliver a speech,其中and连接两个并列的动词不定式短语作真正的主语。故翻译为It is a great honor for me to stand here and make/give/deliver a speech./It is my great honor to stand here and make/give/deliver a speech.

Holi Festival, India
It’s also called the “festival of love” as on the full-moon day in March people get together, forgetting all types of bad feeling towards each other. You’ll mostly see Holi Festival across India and Nepal, but also in other areas with large Hindu populations. It starts by lighting a night-time bonfire (篝火)where people sing and dance. People throw coloured water and powder (粉末) to their friends and families to show love and respect.
Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Scotland
One of the greatest celebrations of arts and culture in the world, the festival runs for three weeks every August throughout the Scottish capital. Artists and performers take to hundreds of stages all over the city to present shows for every taste. The Fringe is run by the Edinburgh Fringe Festival Society to support and encourage the Scottish arts.
Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland
There are plenty of music festivals in Europe, but Montreux Jazz Festival held in October near the Lake Geneva is truly one of a kind and is the second-largest jazz festival in the world. It’s not just jazz, though. You’ll find broad-ranging concerts from pop to rock and blues, and best of all, most of the performances are free.

People from all over the world have different wedding traditions and marriage customs. The one thing that all wedding ceremonies commonly seem to have is the commitment (承诺) of love for all time during a public ceremony.
Everyone at a wedding hopes for great happiness between the wedding couple. Wedding traditions are usually a way of showing signs of the hope for great happiness. Some of these traditions are very interesting.
In Sweden, the traditional bride will wear three rings by the end of the wedding ceremony. The first is the engagement (订婚) ring that she entered the ceremony with. The second, the wedding ring, is added to the first. A final ring, however, is added as well. This ring is known as the “motherhood” ring. This is said to show that marriage is about more than just love. It is about building a family.
Wedding traditions in the Philippines, a dance which can last for hours. During the Philippines, guests pin (用大头针别住) money to the bride’s dress to pay for their honeymoon.
A traditional Irish bride may wear a blue wedding dress — believing blue to be a lucky color. English Lavender (薰衣草) is often mixed with her wedding flowers. It is traditional for the bride to braid her hair (梳头发) — as it is considered a good way to bring luck to the new couple.
There are many wedding traditions around the world which may differ from what they are used to, but if you are about to plan a wedding, you may find it interesting to include some of these traditions in your own wedding.
4. What do all wedding ceremonies seem to have in common?
A. The commitment of love for all time. B. Happiness between the wedding couple.

It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.
In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the “decline of class” and “classless society” in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.
But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification (分层).
One unchanging aspect of a British person’s class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice. Most people said this accent sounded “educated” and “soft”. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional city accents. These accents were seen as “common” and “ugly”. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.
In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song “Common People” puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may “want to live like common people” they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.
8. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ________.
A. many people think it is time to end class distinction
B. most people think they belong to middle class
C. people consider themselves socially different
D. it is hard to recognize a person’s class
9. The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as ________.
A. regional B. unattractive
C. prejudiced D. educated
10. British attitudes towards accent ________.
A. have a long tradition
B. are based on regional status
C. are shared by the Americans
D. haven’t changed in recent years
11. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The middle class is expanding. B. A person’s accent reflects his class.
C. Class is a key part of British society. D. Each class has unique characteristics.
D
Social media is taking over our lives: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and now, TikTok (抖音). These social media platforms have transformed from a way to stay connected to an industry where even kids can make money off their posts. While this may seem like another opportunistic (机会主义) innovation, it’s really full of hidden false realities.
The median income (中位收入) recorded in the United States of America was about $63,000 in 2018. TikTokers can make anywhere from $50,000 to $150,000 for a TikTok brand partnership, and TikTokers with over a million followers can make up to $30,000 a month - $360,000 a year. They are making more than the average person trying to feed their family and keep a roof over their heads, simply by posting a 15-second video.
This is mad in more ways than one. Not only is it an overpaid “job”, it promotes unworthy admiration from viewers and a false sense of reality. Many of these famous TikTokers are still teens, and the effects of fame at such an early stage in life might cause issues later in life, such as mental illness. Teens between the ages of 13 and 17 make up 27% of TikTok viewers, who can be easily influenced by what they are watching. They can put a false sense of self-value into who they look up to and what they represent: money, fame, being considered traditionally attractive.
While TikTok has become a great tool for marketing, it’s important to understand how this content affects young viewers. If we’re constantly consuming content that shows us all we need to do to be successful is be traditionally attractive and post a 15-second video featuring a new dance, it will challenge our knowledge of what really makes someone successful and will in turn affect our individual work ethics (伦理). What about the people who miss birthday and family holidays due to their jobs and aren’t getting paid nearly as much as these TikTokers?
Richard Colyer, president and creator of Metaphor, Inc, had his own view on this issue. “It sounds great to make money for doing the latest dance moves in a 15-second video, but we should feed the minds of kids and not just their bank accounts. TikTok can be great if used properly. Money alone is not good, technology alone is not good and connectedness can be bad if it’s only online.”
Again, as a fellow consumer of TikTok, I do enjoy the app when I have some time to kill and need a good laugh. I’ m not against someone making a living on entertainment, but what does getting famous of a 15-second video teach young people?
12. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Social networking. B. Making money on social media.
C. A job offered by TikTok. D. Staying connected to the Internet.
13. What do the numbers given in Paragraph 2 show?
A. TikTokers are earning money easily.
B. All TikTokers are richer than average people.
C. Most TikTokers can become millionaires overnight.
D. TikTokers earn much more than ordinary workers.
14. Which is the possible influence of TikTok on its young users?
A. They tend to live an adult life too soon.
B. They are forced to pay for certain services.
C. They may quit other social media.
D. They are likely to develop false value.
15. What can we infer from Richard Colyer’s comments?
A. TikTok can be a positive influence if teens employ it wisely.
B. Young TikTokers should be banned from making money.
C. It is better to involve education on investment in TikTok videos.
D. Contents of videos need checking before their release online.
16. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Say No to Tik Tok B. Join Young TikTokers
C. TikTok - A Mine of Money D. A Job Vs An Entertainment
