This colorful act symbolizes the victory of good over evil (邪恶) each year. It begins with a bonfire (篝火), the flame of which burns away evil, and after that, the participants are in for some real fun. Crowds of people sprinkle (撒) each other with colored powder and paints as a sign of goodness and good luck. Tomorrowland in Belgium The biggest electronic music festival in the world is held at the end of July in the Belgian city of Boom. The famous three-day event annually gathers more than 300,000 guests. The main stages are set up in a large park with artificial ponds and beautiful green areas. The area will be equipped in advance with food courts, grills, and all the necessary equipment. Venice Carnival in Italy The most romantic city in Italy fills with bright colors and sounds of music every year at the end of February. Residents and guests of Venice dress up in fancy costumes in the style of the Middle Ages and cover their faces with masks. The carnival ends with the awarding of the competitors who have showed the most original and colorful costumes. Burning Man in the USA Many cultural events pale in comparison to the legendary Burning Man, held in Nevada from the last Monday in August to the first Monday in September. The unique atmosphere is created not only by the organizers and the desert where the festival takes place but also by the participants themselves. They build a tent city with homemade art objects and the necessary equipment. The highlight of the festival is the burning of a huge wooden statue of a man and the main temple. 1. Which festival is held in late July? A. The Holi Festival. B. Tomorrowland. C. The Venice Carnival. D. Burning Man. 2. What happens at the end of the Venice Carnival? A. People enjoy a large bonfire. B. Guests pick the favorite masks. C. Competitors pet costume awards. D. Organizers set up colorful stages. 3. What do the Holi-Festival and Burning Man have in common? A. They both last more than a week. B. They both attract 300,000 guests. C. They both involve symbolic burning. D. They both take place in desert areas. B Most kids dream of becoming entrepreneurs (企业家) when they grow up, yet few get started as young as Jose Adolfo Quisocala Condori from Peru. At just 7 years old, he launched the Bartselana Student Bank, a children’s savings bank. Today his bank serves over 3,000 children clients and provides diverse financial services. Jose got the idea for a children’s savings bank seven years ago, after noticing that many of his peers were frittering away their money on sweets and toys, instead of saving it for more meaningful purchases. He then started thinking of ways that children could generate money without the help of their parents, and recycling seemed like the obvious answer. An eco-bank not only allows kids of all ages to become economically independent but helps the environment. “Initially, some adults thought a child couldn’t undertake this type of project,” Jose recalls. “They didn’t understand we are not only the future of the country but its present. Luckily, I had the support of my headmaster and an assistant in my classroom.” Jose founded the bank in Arequipa in 2012. Children could become members of the bank by turning in at least 5 kilograms of recyclable waste and were required to deposit at least one other kilogram of waste every month to maintain their membership status. They would then set a savings goal, and could only withdraw money from their accounts when reaching their savings goal. Within one year, the Bartselana Student Bank collected 1 ton of recyclable material and generated savings for 200 children at Jose’s school. Jose says the bank’s success has given him much encouragement. “My goal is to reach every kid. It’s just a matter of time,” he said. 4. What is special about the Bartselana Student Bank? A. It is the most convenient bank in Peru. B. It is greatly popular with entrepreneurs. C. Its founder and target clients are kids. D. It offers service at home and abroad. 5. What does the underlined phrase “frittering away” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Drawing out. B. Giving away. C. Raising actively. D. Spending unwisely. 6. How can one maintain the membership of this bank? A. By paying higher fees. B. By withdrawing money. C. By turning in recyclable waste monthly. D. By opening a new bank account annually. 7. What is Jose’s plan for the bank? A. To expand the business. B. To cooperate with schools. C. To employ more workers. D. To bring in new services. C An important lesson in the moral education of children may be closer than imagine — it could be right there in the books they are holding. Stores can be helpful for building moral values in young audiences, according to the result of a new study. “Media can greatly influence children’s moral values and get them to place more or less importance on the values according to what is uniquely stressed in that content.” says Lindsay Hahn, PhD, a professor in the University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences. Hahn is first author of the new study, which explores how media content influence children. Many previous studies have focused on wide ideas, like positive or negative effects of specific content. However, Hahn’s study looks at how reading of content featuring specific moral values (care, fairness, loyalty, and authority) might influence the weight that kids place on those values. Do children who read about particular moral characteristics absorb those qualities and build their own morality? The findings suggest so, and further support how this approach can help to teach the moral principles that kids might receive through formal instruction. For the study, Hahn and her team took the main character from a teen novel and edited the content to create four different story versions (版本). Each version showed one of four moral values that the study focused on. Then those stories were read by about 200 participants between the ages of 10 and 14. This age group is the best for media research. Hahn explained the reason, “It is more difficult for younger children to understand stories, while it is also challenging to hold the attention of older teenagers, who become bored with simple storylines.” The team then designed a scale (量表) to measure the importance that kids place on moral values, so as to determine how participants might be influenced by specific stories. 8. What is the results of the new study? A. Stories should be spread more by media. B. Stories help children develop moral values. C. Children learn moral values from their parents. D. Children like reading books full of fumy stories. 9. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 3? A. The branches of media research. B. The impact on children’s literature. C. The comparison with previous studies. D. The response of the public to the study. 10. Why did the researchers choose participants aged from 10 to 14? A. Their moral values cannot be easily influenced. B. They are in a critical stage of moral development. C. This age group has better moral values than others. D. They can understand the stories and won’t lose interest. 11. Where does this passage probably come from? A. A social report. B. A blog post. C. A school textbook. D. An education magazine. D Today, China has conducted its first 3D printing experiment in space in a newly launched spacecraft, which was put into low-Earth orbit by China’s Long March 5B heavy lift carrier rocket. Video broadcast on CCTV showed that the printer has printed a flat section of a honeycomb-shaped structure as well as a symbol of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, the parent company of the China Academy of Space Technology. The experiment was done by a 3D printer, developed and built by its Beijing Spacecrafts Manufacturing Factory, inside the prototype (原型) of China’s new-generation manned spacecraft. The printer, named the Space-Based Composite Material 3D Printing System, uses carbon fiber-reinforced materials to autonomously print objects. It is placed in the reentry module (返回舱) of the experimental spaceship, and will be brought back to Earth once the module returns. The printer features advanced technologies in material modeling, accuracy control and automation. Once the space-based 3D printing technology becomes operationally ready, it can extensively benefit space programs as astronauts can use it to mass produce a lot of things they currently now need to obtain from resupply flights by cargo spacecraft. Wang Yanan, editor-in-chief of the Aerospace Knowledge magazine, said the 3D Printer will be very useful in extended space missions, such as those in a space station, because it will allow astronauts to make components (零件) fast and conveniently in space. The technology will save future space journeys considerable resources and costs. In fact, the device is not the only representative of 3D printing on board the prototype. A CubeSat deployer, designed and made through 3D printing by CoSats Space Technology, is also carried by the spacecraft to check the adaptability of 3D-printed equipment in space. CoSats Chief Operating Officer Bai Ruixue said the 3D-Printed deployer is much lighter and stronger than its counterparts (同类产品) and it will have huge potential in the space industry. 12. What did the video broadcast on CCTV show to the audience? A. The process and the products of the 3D printing. B. The name and the shape of the 3D printer. C. The significance of the 3D printing technology. D. The relationship between the two companies. 13. What if a component is broken in the space station according to Wang Yanan? A. It has to be sent by spaceship back to earth for repair. B. The astronauts make one using 3D printing and replace it. C The astronauts can fix it conveniently by hand on the spot. D. It has to be unloaded and abandoned in space. 14. Why is the last paragraph mentioned? A. To introduce the CubeSat deployer produced in space. B. To explain the advantages of the 3D printing in space.A C. To show the adaptability of 3D printing in space. D. To indicate a bright future of 3D printing in space. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. 3D printing progress made in China B. 3D printing set to help ease space journeys. C. 3D printing launched by Long March 5B. D. 3D printing — a new way to explore 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Journaling is a powerful tool for personal growth and reflection, and it can be a great way to explore your thoughts and feelings.

Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance. In Emily White’s hometown, there was a yearly outdoor performance in the school auditorium (大礼堂). It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town’s people. Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only include the most excellent people in the field. Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens — her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a look at Amy’s body and said, “Child, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too.” Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired. This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Buttler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try. Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated a little about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Buttler called, “Emily, you’re next.” Although kind of nervous, Emily did as Mr. Buttler told her to do. Mr. Buttler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Buttler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day. Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn’t fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain because of stress. 注意：续写词数应为150左右 Paragraph 1: The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally, the day of performance came. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 英语 考试时间120分钟 满分150分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置，听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

She, Emily White, was chosen to be the leading singer! She would sing alone in the performance. Emily couldn’t believe her eyes. There must be some mistake. But Mr. Buttler said to her with determined eyes, “Emily, I choose you because you should perform the part-your voice is unusual. Believe in yourself.” Greatly encouraged, Emily practiced really hard. Finally, the day of performance came. Standing in front of the line, Emily felt her throat tight and her palms sweating. When the curtain opened up, the eyes of the whole audience fell upon Emily. “Emily White!” Someone whispered. Then, along with the first note of music, Emily began to sing her heart out. Her voice was like a nightingale ringing in the auditorium. Applause! Emily felt so happy and comfortable. She was shining on the stage. Emily White, with so many birth problems in her body, was an angel! 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
