Every festival has its own meaning.Labour Day,for example,celebrates the value of hard work.But somehow it now seems that while celebrating all festivals we just care about one thing—shopping.And that can be a big problem.
“In a way,over-consumption(过度消费) is the mother of all our environmental problems,”Kalle Lasn once told CNN.Lasn is the organizer of Buy Nothing Day,a day set up in Canada in 1992 to fight against unhealthy spending habits,and has now become an international event.It's held on the day,which is known as Black Friday—a famous shopping day in the US and Canada.
You can see the irony(讽刺) here.
Even though the idea of Buy Nothing Day was brought up 27 years ago,we seem to need it now more than ever.It's just as Lasn said,all the different kinds of dilemmas in our lives today—bad air quality,the reduction of forest area,endangered animal species,and plastic bags found in the ocean—seem to be the same cause:over-consumption.
The latest example is the Singles' Day shopping craze of Nov.11,which saw a new sales record.But as Nie Li,a campaigner at Greenpeace,told Reuters.“Record-setting over-consumption means record-setting waste.”And it was reported that last year the Singles' Day packages left more than
160,000 tons of waste,including plastic and cardboard.
The Collins dictionary has also just named “single-use” its Word of the Year,pointing out the problem that there're too many things we throw away after only using them once.
So,Buy Nothing Day might only be here for one day a year,but it's not just to remind us about a break from shopping on that day,but to change our lifestyle completely,focusing on fun “with people we care about” rather than wasting money on useless things.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Buy Nothing Day以及它的设立对人类的意义:不要把钱浪费在无用的东西上。
24.What's the author's purpose of writing the first paragraph?
A.To express people's love for all festivals.
B.To talk about the meaning of the festivals.
C.To appreciate the value of the festivals.
D.To introduce the topic of the passage.
写作目的题。首段先举例说明每个节日都有它自己的意义,又说现在每个节日似乎都和购物有关,而购物可能会造成大问题,从而引出主题及下文内容。故第一段的作用是引出文章主题。故选D。
√
25.Why did Kalle Lasn organize Buy Nothing Day?
A.To help people save money.
B.To cut the cost for daily life.
C.To prevent over-consumption.
D.To set up a new sales record.
推理判断题。根据第二段前两句可知,拉森认为过度消费是所有环境问题的根源,他设立Buy Nothing Day旨在与不健康的消费习惯作斗争。故拉森设立此节日的目的是防止过度消费。故选C。
√
26.What's Nie Li's attitude towards the shopping craze?
A.Opposed. B.Supportive.
C.Unknown. D.Neutral.
观点态度题。根据第五段第二、三句可知,聂莉对购物狂热是持反对态度的。故选A。
√
27.What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A.Creating a New Lifestyle
B.Buy Nothing Day
C.Festivals Around the World
D.A Change in People's Life
标题归纳题。文章内容围绕Buy Nothing Day展开,故用“Buy Nothing Day”作标题最合适。
√
C
A Whale of a Time
The annual whale festival in Hermanus,South Africa,kicks off today. The coastal town,located on the Western Cape about 1.5 hours from Cape Town,is well-known for whale watching.It is one of the best locations in the world to witness the migration of southern fight whales.The festival,which is the only eco-arts festival in South Africa,attracts upward of 130,000 visitors.
Hermanus also takes pride in the world's only “Whale-Crier”.His job is to go around and herald the whereabouts of whales to everyone—with his horn.Fortunately,the timing of the festival almost guarantees a whale sighting—as close as a few meters from shore!
The whales are,of course,the main attraction of the festival,but many more terrific activities are available.The seaside environment,with the mountains as a backdrop,makes an ideal setting to enjoy the festival's musical performances and fantastic seafood.For those who desire more adventure,there's open water swimming,a night run and sports challenges.And there are other festivities and entertainment for kids.With something for everyone,what more could ask for?
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了南非赫曼努斯一年一度的鲸鱼节以及这个节日中的特色活动。
28.What's the main attraction of the whale festival in Hermanus?
A.Whale criers.
B.Coastal landscape.
C.Whale watching.
D.Migration of fish.
细节理解题。根据第一段第一、二句(南非赫曼努斯一年一度的鲸鱼节今天开幕。这座海滨小镇位于西开普省,距开普敦约1.5小时车程,以赏鲸闻名。)可知,赫曼努斯一年一度的鲸鱼节以赏鲸闻名,由此可知,赫曼努斯的鲸鱼节最吸引人的地方是赏鲸。故选C项。
√
29.What does “herald” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Prove. B.Signal.
C.Choose. D.Arrange.
词义猜测题。根据画线单词所在句“His job is to go around”(他的工作是四处走动)和“herald the whereabouts of whales to everyone—with his horn.”(用号角向每个人 鲸鱼的下落。)可知,句中“His”代指上文提到的“Whale-Crier”(报鲸人),由此可知,报鲸人应该是四处走动,用号角告知每个人鲸鱼出现的地方,“signal”意为“标志,表明”,符合句意和报鲸人的工作内容。故选B项。
√
30.What might an adventure lover prefer?
A.A night run.
B.Fantastic seafood.
C.Musical performance.
D.Seaside environment.
细节理解题。根据第三段第三句(对于那些想要更多冒险的人来说,这里有公开水域游泳、夜间跑步和体育挑战。)可知,对于想要冒险的人来说,这里也有很多活动,比如公开水域游泳、夜间跑步和体育挑战,由此可知,喜欢冒险的人会喜欢夜间跑步。故选A项。
√
句意理解题。根据画线句子上文可知,赫曼努斯的鲸鱼节除了可以赏鲸之外,还可以欣赏音乐表演和品尝美味海鲜,也有适合冒险爱好者和孩子的活动。由此可知,画线句子想表达的是“每个人都可以在赫曼努斯的鲸鱼节上玩得很愉快”。“everyone can enjoy themselves.”意为“每个人都可以玩得开心。”符合句意和段落表达内容。故选B项。
31.The underlined sentence tells us in the whale festival .
A.nothing can be expected
B.everyone can enjoy themselves
C.everyone can ask for more
D.more fun can be expected
√
D
The old Chinese saying “as happy as spending the New Year” might be outdated now in the busy modern world.The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together,like Christmas in the West.But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival,however,have weakened in practice.
Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival.People thought the sputtering(爆裂) sound could help drive away evil spirits.However,the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken security,noise and pollution factors into consideration.
“In recent years,some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at the Spring Festival,surrendering to(屈从于) public demand.Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion,” said Zhou Xing,a folklore researcher.
“As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods,the New Year holiday is just like any other.After long workdays,many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest,rather than visiting friends and neighbors.The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important thing.However,many families would like to eat out to save time and energy,” said Li Shunzhi,a resident of Harbin,Heilongjiang.
“I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside.My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday,cleaning the house,buying holiday goods and decorating the house with paper-cuttings.On New Year's Eve,the whole family stays up to see the New Year in,and in the days to follow,a series of activities such as lion dancing,dragon lantern dancing,lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held.Without the ancient traditions,the holiday is nothing to us,” said Zhang Hui,from Hebei.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国春节的一些传统习俗在逐渐消失的现象以及人们对此现象的不同观点。
32.Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?
A.Setting off fireworks has been forbidden in some big cities for years.
B.Nowadays,people can light fireworks in some cities at the Spring Festival.
C.People believe that the sound of fireworks can drive away evil spirits.
D.In the past,setting off fireworks couldn't be seen almost anywhere.
细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句“Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival.”可知,过去放鞭炮是过春节最典型的传统习俗,应该到处可见,故选D项。
√
33.What Li Shunzhi said implies .
A.what people do during the festival now is different from the past
B.people would like to have the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve
C.people prefer to visit friends and neighbors rather than take a rest
D.the New Year holiday is just like any other day
推理判断题。根据第四段的整体内容可推知,哈尔滨的一位居民所说的这段话是在感慨今昔过年的差异,故选A项。
√
34.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Zhang Hui often spends two weeks preparing for the Spring Festival.
B.Zhang Hui is used to spending the Spring Festival with her family.
C.Zhang Hui always takes part in a series of activities after the Spring Festival.
D.Zhang Hui lives in the urban area.
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“My family has been preparing for...”和“On New Year's Eve,the whole family stays up to see...”以及本段的整体内容可推知,张惠习惯和家人一起过春节,故选B项。
√
35.What does the whole passage show?
A.The Spring Festival is as lively as before.
B.The Spring Festival is outdated now.

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。
Possibly the funniest day of the year is April Fools' Day. 36 On that day,people usually play tricks and jokes on friends and family,and sometimes strangers.The phrase to use is “April Fools! ” after you complete a trick or joke.But there is much more to this day than these common facts.There is a mysterious history of this celebration. There is no real consensus (共识) on when the holiday officially or unofficially began.
The earliest possible mention of April Fools' Day is in Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales,written in 1387.In the story “Nun's Priest's Tale” it is mentioned that “Syn March bigan thritty dayes and two”. 37 However,modern scholars believe there was a misprint.
The next piece of evidence about April Fools' Day comes from the French poet Eloy d’Amerval.He wrote about “poisson d'avril”. 38 Some scholars say that April Fools' Day started in the Middle Ages in Europe,where some people celebrated the New Year on April 1st.Those who had New Year's Day on January 1st made fun of those who partook (共享) in the celebration on April 1st by sending people fish.
39 In 1686,writer and philosopher John Aubrey wrote about a celebration called “Fooles Holy Day”.It is certain that the celebration became popular through Great Britain in the 18th century.In Scotland,the tradition became a two-day event.As time went on and the celebration became more widespread,it became a one-day holiday.
As you might have noticed,April Fools' Day has a confusing history.There are multiple theories about its origins.It variously started in many different places.It may also have different meanings. 40
A.It means “fish of April”.
B.This origin comes from Scotland.
C.Lastly,we come back to Great Britain.
D.Accepting it or not depends on your interest.
E.It happens on the first day of April every year.
F.One would have to be a fool to accept one theory.
G.This seems like a jokey way of saying the first of April.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了愚人节的几种历史由来。
根据空格上句“Possibly the funniest day of the year is April Fools' Day.”可知,本文介绍的是愚人节。E项意为“它发生在每年四月的第一天。”选项内容能够承接上文,选项中的“It”代指上文的“April Fools' Day”,介绍了愚人节的时间。故选E。

G.This seems like a jokey way of saying the first of April.
根据空格下句“However,modern scholars believe there was a misprint.”可知,本段介绍愚人节的起源被现代学者认为是一个印刷错误。G项意为“这好像是在开玩笑地说四月一日。”选项内容能够引起下文,选项中的“a jokey way”和下文的“misprint”相呼应,正是因为好像是在开玩笑地说四月一日,现代学者才会认为这是一个印刷错误。故选G。

根据空格所在段最后一句话“那些在1月1日过新年的人通过给人们送鱼来取笑那些在4月1日参加庆祝活动的人。”可知,本段介绍的愚人节的起源和“鱼”有关。A项意为“它的意思是四月的鱼。”选项内容符合段落主旨。
A.It means
“fish of April”.

F.One would have to be a fool to accept one theory.
根据空格上文可知,愚人节有一个混乱的历史,关于它的起源有多种理论。F项意为“要想接受一个理论,就必须做个愚人。”选项内容能够承接上文,正是因为关于愚人节的起源有多种理论,所以要想接受一个理论,就必须做个愚人。故选F。

The opening ceremony of Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games filled my heart with so much excitement and pride that I can't wait to share it with you.
The opening ceremony began at the National Stadium in Beijing on Friday,which coincides with the “Beginning of Spring”,the first of the 24 solar terms of the year.By the way,the 24 solar terms guided ancient Chinese people in their agricultural conducts.As the ceremony started,the lights dimmed and a 24-second countdown followed,each paired with a sentence from Chinese poems,which shares the beauty of Chinese traditional culture with the whole world.
I'm here waiting for you to come to China.
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a sunny Saturday in June,Alyson,3,squealed(尖叫) with laughter as she and her mother,Marlen,played hide-and-seek in the front yard of their home.With Marlen close behind,tiny Alyson flashed into the backyard of an elderly neighbor.About halfway across the yard,Alyson suddenly disappeared,seemingly swallowed whole by a barely visible opening in the ground.Marlen screamed.
The neighbor's caretaker,Luz,26,was preparing dinner in the neighbor's kitchen and assumed the shrieks were the sounds of children playing.But she ran outside anyway and found Marlen sobbing and Alyson's sister Damary,25,kneeing on the grass,dialing 911.
“Alyson fell in the hole!” Damary cried to Luz.Luz gave a quick glance down the hole in disbelief and saw only darkness.Then she heard Alyson's wails(哭泣) from deep underground.“Hang on there,sweety.We'll get you out soon.”
Luz ran inside the house and down to the basement for a ladder,which happened to be not very long.She then settled for a gray extension cord(延长线) to use as a rope with which to rappel(用绳索下降) into the hole.Back in the yard,she and Damary used their hands to dig at the hole,widening the opening from 7 inches in diameter to about 20 inches.Marlen sat on the grass,too distracted to help.
At the thought that Alyson might get hurt and was too young to grasp and climb the rope on her own,Luz made up her mind to go down herself.When the police detective Aaron arrived a few minutes later,Luz was already in the hole up to her waist.
“Get out of here,” the officer told Luz,lifting her up by the arm. “It's dangerous for you.”
“It's more dangerous for the Baby,” she argued,“She's going to die.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Paragraph 1:
The detective begged Luz to wait for help,but she was determined._____
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Touched by her resolution,the detective had no alternative but to offer his assistance.He braced one end of the extension cord,and Luz lowered herself,arm over arm,sliding slowly down the rope.On touching the ground,she discovered Alyson was submerged by water up to her neck.Calming the soaked and shivering child,she quickly picked her up in her arms.However,with only one rope,it was impossible for Luz alone to push the little girl out.They had to wait for help,yet a sense of fear began to creep over her since it was cold and dark down here.
Paragraph 2:
Minutes later,the Fire Department and Rescue Squad arrived._________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With the confirmation of the two's safety,they lowered a ladder into the hole.Luz then managed to climb out and handed Alyson over.Emergency workers rushed the stunned toddler to an ambulance,surveying to check the damage,only to find her miraculously uninjured,without even a scratch,though a bit scared and covered with dirt.The whole family expressed their heartfelt gratitude for Luz's help.Eventually,Luz's heroic deed went viral in the neighborhood. Whenever she was praised,she just smiled,“speaking of saving lives,every second counts.”
