We Chinese people celebrate Arbor Day (a festival for tree planting) every year on March 12. It brings us closer to each other and to the wonders of nature. Many other countries also celebrate trees with festivals and holidays. But as you will see, not all of them fall in spring.
PeruYunsa is a celebration of new life at the end of the local carnival (狂欢节). Couples take turns dancing around a small tree. After that, they cut it down. This stands for a new beginning. Following an ancient tradition, people then plant a young tree in the place of the old one.
The United KingdomThe British celebrate National Tree Week at the start of the tree-planting season in November. They also celebrate National Tree Dressing Day on the first weekend in December. On that day, they have something beautiful and special hung in the trees.
MoroccoThousands of trees in the town of Tafraoute produce many of Morocco’s almonds (杏仁). To celebrate this natural gift, Tafraoute hosts the Almond Blossom Festival every year. The date of the event depends on when the trees flower. People dance, sing and tell stories until late into the night.
IsraelTu BiShvat is known to people in Israel. It means “New Year of the Trees”. This festival is usually celebrated with a meal in January or February. Tree plantings are held in schools and homes. The celebration usually begins at sunset and lasts till the following day. Many people also make donations (捐赠) to organizations that work to plant trees in Israel.

Most people have a favorite color, but how people feel about colors depends on their culture. This can be very important to people in business that sell products all over the world. They might choose a color because they think it is exciting or attractive, but in another country that same color could be used to give a sad message. Look at these examples:
If you ask someone in Britain what the right color is for a bride (新娘) to wear, the answer will be white. In China and other eastern countries, brides often wear red because the color red is a sign of good luck, happiness and prosperity (繁荣). ________ In Britain, red is used as a sign of danger. Road signs and warning labels (标签) are often in red. In eastern cultures, the color red does not mean you have to be careful.
In Egypt, yellow is the color linked to death. In Britain and other western cultures, death and funerals (葬礼) are usually linked to the color black, but in many eastern countries white is the color most people connect with death and funerals.
Many people like the color orange because it is bright and exciting. Some advertisers will not use orange in their advertisements because they believe it suggests that the products are cheap and perhaps not of good quality.
In a word, colors have different meanings in different cultures. We should learn to choose the proper color in some special situation.
29.In which country does the color yellow mean death?
A.Britain. B.Egypt. C.China. D.All eastern countries.
30.Why does the writer give so many examples in the passage?

We all go to school to study and learn different skills, but have you ever been taught in your dream?
Wang Xizhi was a Chinese calligrapher (书法家), traditionally called the Sage of Calligraphy (书圣). Born in Linyi, Shandong Province, he spent most of his life in the present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang. At the beginning, Wang Xizhi learned the art of calligraphy from Lady Wei. But later through practice, he excelled his teacher.
Nobody knows who taught him after Lady Wei. However, there is a story that Wang achieved his success by learning from his dream. It is said that Wang would practice calligraphy every day. Still, he was never pleased with what he wrote. One day, he was so tired that he fell asleep at his desk. In his dream, he saw an old man who said to him with a smile, “I will teach you something and you will find it very helpful in the future. Now reach out your hands.” Only half believing, Wang reached out his hand. The old man wrote a character in his hand and said with a nod. “now, you will be a calligrapher”. With this, he disappeared in the air. Wang looked at his hand and saw a character “永”. He thought it over for a whole night and finally realized that this character had all the basic strokes (笔划) in forming Chinese calligraphy.
After waking up from the dream, Wang kept practicing writing the character “永”. Later Wang became a well-known calligrapher.
It is said that even in his lifetime, a few of Wang’s characters or his signature were priceless. Unfortunately, none of his works remain today. Down through the ages, however, many students of calligraphy, the most basic yet highest art in China, have learned from and copied his style.

“Click, click, click...” The drummer hit the drumsticks against each other to give a beat, and the band started to play. Kai played a guqin solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums. The band played faster and faster. Kai’s classmates jumped to their feet, clapping and screaming. When the music ended, there was an awkward (尴尬的) silence. They all looked at the teachers.
Mr Li asked, “What were you trying to express?”
Kai murmured, “I wanted to do something different...to modernize the guqin’s sound.”
“Well, it’s a good try. But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well,” said Mr Li. “The music was...We could hardly hear the guqin,” added Miss Zhou. “I’m afraid I can’t give you high marks.”
“Please, can I have another chance?” begged Kai.
They finally agreed.
Alone in the hall later, Kai sat in his chair, feeling a little sad. “I understand what you were trying to do,” Kai looked up and saw Miss Zhou by his side. “But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.”
Kai was puzzled. What did she mean?
“The guqin is connected to nature. The bottom board represents the ground, and the rounded top board represents the sky. A wonderful guqin performance shows the harmony (和谐) between people and nature.”
“Miss Zhou, is it fine to play the guqin with other instruments?”
“Because it is so quiet,” replied Miss Zhou, “it’s usually played alone. Sometimes, it can be played with the dizi or another guqin. Every note matters. And you know, there’s Chinese philosophy (哲理) behind every form of art. That’s what makes Chinese art special. We should try hard to keep the value of traditions and connect them with modern life.”
“Is it true that Confucius played the guqin?”
“Exactly. Confucius believed that music was necessary for a well-rounded education. It could help a person develop his inner self.”
“Can I make it modern?” Kai was wondering if he had asked a stupid question.
“Ancient musicians followed traditions to show respect. To modernize it, try to find the right way to keep the value. How will you change your piece?”
“I’m not sure yet,” said Kai. “But I’m going to do something different again.”
That night, Kai kept thinking about the next show. “How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern touch?” he wondered.
Then, he had an idea...
37.In Kai’s teachers’ eyes, he didn’t ________.
A.play the drums well B.work well with others
C.express personal feelings D.show the guqin’s value
38.Which of the following is the correct order of the story?
a. Miss Zhou gave her advice to Kai.
b. The classmates kept a short silence.
c. Kai asked for another chance to play.
d. The teachers pointed out Kai’s problem.
e. Kai played the guqin with drum rhythms.
A.a-e-d-c-b B.e-b-d-c-a C.e-a-b-d-c D.a-b-d-e-c
39.What lesson has Kai learned from his experience?
A.Strict rules will stop our creativity in music.
B.Traditional instruments should be modernized.
C.Creation requires us to understand the tradition first.
D.The guqin is necessary for a well-rounded education.
40.What might we hear in Kai’s next show?

C.Country music in a Western style. D.Rock music with drums and dizi.

“Ah!” Mom read my 23 carefully. “How about starting a ‘Good Job Bottle’? You can add a stone into the bottle if you help others. When the bottle is 24 , that means a pizza-movie night!”
“That sounds nice. I can give it a try,” I said. The others also agreed.

Most people have a favorite color, but how people feel about colors depends on their culture. This can be very important to people in business that sell products all over the world. They might choose a color because they think it is exciting or attractive, but in another country that same color could be used to give a sad message. Look at these examples:
If you ask someone in Britain what the right color is for a bride (新娘) to wear, the answer will be white. In China and other eastern countries, brides often wear red because the color red is a sign of good luck, happiness and prosperity (繁荣). ________ In Britain, red is used as a sign of danger. Road signs and warning labels (标签) are often in red. In eastern cultures, the color red does not mean you have to be careful.
In Egypt, yellow is the color linked to death. In Britain and other western cultures, death and funerals (葬礼) are usually linked to the color black, but in many eastern countries white is the color most people connect with death and funerals.
Many people like the color orange because it is bright and exciting. Some advertisers will not use orange in their advertisements because they believe it suggests that the products are cheap and perhaps not of good quality.
In a word, colors have different meanings in different cultures. We should learn to choose the proper color in some special situation.
29.In which country does the color yellow mean death?
A.Britain. B.Egypt. C.China. D.All eastern countries.
30.Why does the writer give so many examples in the passage?
A.To introduce different colors in the world.

D.They refuse to use other colors.
32.What would be the best title for the passage?

【答案】29.B 30.C 31.A 32.D
【导语】本文讲述不同文化背景下,颜色有着不同的含义,我们应该学会在特殊情况下选择合适的颜色。
29.细节理解题。根据“In Egypt, yellow is the color linked to death.”可知,在埃及,黄色与死亡相联。故选B。
30.推理判断题。根据“They might choose a color because they think it is exciting or attractive, but in another country that same color could be used to give a sad message. Look at these examples:”和文章可知,作者通过给出很多例子是为了解释不同文化对同一颜色有不同的理解。故选C。
31.推理判断题。根据上文提到的“brides often wear red in China and other eastern countries”与该空后的“In Britain, red is used as a sign of danger”可知,红色在中国代表好的一面,但是在英国不是,所以A选项“红色对于英国的新娘而言是不寻常的”符合,故选A。
32.最佳标题题。通篇围绕不同国家对颜色的不同理解展开,因此最贴合标题的是“Colors Around the World”,即世界各地的颜色。故选D。

We all go to school to study and learn different skills, but have you ever been taught in your dream?
Wang Xizhi was a Chinese calligrapher (书法家), traditionally called the Sage of Calligraphy (书圣). Born in Linyi, Shandong Province, he spent most of his life in the present-day Shaoxing, Zhejiang. At the beginning, Wang Xizhi learned the art of calligraphy from Lady Wei. But later through practice, he excelled his teacher.
Nobody knows who taught him after Lady Wei. However, there is a story that Wang achieved his success by learning from his dream. It is said that Wang would practice calligraphy every day. Still, he was never pleased with what he wrote. One day, he was so tired that he fell asleep at his desk. In his dream, he saw an old man who said to him with a smile, “I will teach you something and you will find it very helpful in the future. Now reach out your hands.” Only half believing, Wang reached out his hand. The old man wrote a character in his hand and said with a nod. “now, you will be a calligrapher”. With this, he disappeared in the air. Wang looked at his hand and saw a character “永”. He thought it over for a whole night and finally realized that this character had all the basic strokes (笔划) in forming Chinese calligraphy.
After waking up from the dream, Wang kept practicing writing the character “永”. Later Wang became a well-known calligrapher.
It is said that even in his lifetime, a few of Wang’s characters or his signature were priceless. Unfortunately, none of his works remain today. Down through the ages, however, many students of calligraphy, the most basic yet highest art in China, have learned from and copied his style.

D
“Click, click, click...” The drummer hit the drumsticks against each other to give a beat, and the band started to play. Kai played a guqin solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums. The band played faster and faster. Kai’s classmates jumped to their feet, clapping and screaming. When the music ended, there was an awkward (尴尬的) silence. They all looked at the teachers.
Mr Li asked, “What were you trying to express?”
Kai murmured, “I wanted to do something different...to modernize the guqin’s sound.”
“Well, it’s a good try. But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well,” said Mr Li. “The music was...We could hardly hear the guqin,” added Miss Zhou. “I’m afraid I can’t give you high marks.”
“Please, can I have another chance?” begged Kai.
They finally agreed.
Alone in the hall later, Kai sat in his chair, feeling a little sad. “I understand what you were trying to do,” Kai looked up and saw Miss Zhou by his side. “But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.”
Kai was puzzled. What did she mean?
“The guqin is connected to nature. The bottom board represents the ground, and the rounded top board represents the sky. A wonderful guqin performance shows the harmony (和谐) between people and nature.”
“Miss Zhou, is it fine to play the guqin with other instruments?”
“Because it is so quiet,” replied Miss Zhou, “it’s usually played alone. Sometimes, it can be played with the dizi or another guqin. Every note matters. And you know, there’s Chinese philosophy (哲理) behind every form of art. That’s what makes Chinese art special. We should try hard to keep the value of traditions and connect them with modern life.”
“Is it true that Confucius played the guqin?”
“Exactly. Confucius believed that music was necessary for a well-rounded education. It could help a person develop his inner self.”
“Can I make it modern?” Kai was wondering if he had asked a stupid question.
“Ancient musicians followed traditions to show respect. To modernize it, try to find the right way to keep the value. How will you change your piece?”
“I’m not sure yet,” said Kai. “But I’m going to do something different again.”
That night, Kai kept thinking about the next show. “How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern touch?” he wondered.
Then, he had an idea...
37.In Kai’s teachers’ eyes, he didn’t ________.
A.play the drums well B.work well with others
C.express personal feelings D.show the guqin’s value
38.Which of the following is the correct order of the story?
a. Miss Zhou gave her advice to Kai.
b. The classmates kept a short silence.
c. Kai asked for another chance to play.
d. The teachers pointed out Kai’s problem.
e. Kai played the guqin with drum rhythms.
A.a-e-d-c-b B.e-b-d-c-a C.e-a-b-d-c D.a-b-d-e-c
39.What lesson has Kai learned from his experience?
A.Strict rules will stop our creativity in music.
B.Traditional instruments should be modernized.
C.Creation requires us to understand the tradition first.
D.The guqin is necessary for a well-rounded education.
40.What might we hear in Kai’s next show?
A.Pop music in a traditional style. B.Folk music with local colour.
C.Country music in a Western style. D.Rock music with drums and dizi.
【答案】37.D 38.B 39.C 40.A
【导语】本文主要介绍了Kai在乐队表演中尝试将古琴与鼓的节奏结合,但未能很好地展现古琴特点,在老师们的评价和建议下,他思考如何平衡传统精神与现代元素。
37.细节理解题。根据“But you know it has over 3,000 years of history. I don’t think you’ve presented the characteristics well”、“The music was...We could hardly hear the guqin”以及“I’m afraid I can’t give you high marks...we could hardly hear the guqin”可知老师认为Kai没有很好地展现古琴的价值。故选D。
38.细节理解题。根据“Kai played a guqin solo, and for most of the show, he played along with the rhythm of the drums”可知Kai和着鼓的节奏弹奏古琴,e排在首位,排除AD;根据“When the music ended, there was an awkward (尴尬的) silence”可知同学们沉默了一会儿,b排在第二,排除C。故选B。
39.推理判断题。根据“But before you can break the rules, you have to master them.”以及“To modernize it, try to find the right way to keep the value.”可知在你打破规则之前,你必须掌握它们,为了使其现代化,试着找到正确的方法来保持价值,所以他从这次经历中学到的道理是:创新要求我们首先要理解传统。故选C。
40.推理判断题。根据“How can I present the guqin and balance the traditional spirit with a modern touch?”以及前文提到古琴可以与笛子一起演奏,可推断出在Kai的下一场演出中我们可能会听到传统风格的流行音乐,将传统古琴与现代流行元素结合。故选A。

61.句意:从小嘴里说出来的词和珍妮唱的不一样,但是节奏是一样的。根据“The words that came from the little mouth were different from those that Jenny sang,…the rhythm was the same.”前面说词不一样,后面说节奏一样,可知这是一种转折关系。结合首字母提示,but符合语境。故填(b)ut。
62.句意:另一个孩子走向珍妮,看着她的眼睛,然后开始跟着唱这个节奏。根据“Another child went up to Jenny, looking into her eyes, and…singing the rhythm.”可知又有另一个孩子开始跟着节奏唱。结合首字母提示,start的过去式started符合语境。故填(s)tarted。
63.句意:然后越来越多的孩子加入进来,他们一起分享了许多微笑。根据“Then more and more children…, and they shared many smiles together.”前面已经有两个孩子和珍妮有了互动,这里说越来越多的孩子加入到唱歌的活动中来。结合首字母提示,join过去式joined“加入”符合语境,故填(j)oined。
64.句意:注意到莱拉的目光落在她身上,珍妮从心底涌起一种兴奋的感觉。根据“From the other side of the hall, Leela was smiling and watching them.”可知莱拉在大厅的另一边微笑着看着他们,这里需要一个动词的现在分词形式作状语,结合首字母提示,notice的现在分词形式Noticing“注意到”符合语境,故填(N)oticing。
65.句意:在那一刻,她明白了:无论我们来自哪里,无论我们的文化背景如何,我们都能在音乐中找到共鸣和联系。根据前面描述了一系列和孩子们通过音乐互动以及注意到莱拉目光的情景,可知这里是说在那个时刻。结合首字母提示以及短语at that moment,表示“在那一刻”,moment符合语境,故填(m)oment。
