It’s called Apple Day but in fact it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has become popular, events now last through most of October around Britain. Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety (品种) of apples. To people who are used to the limited kinds of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite eye-opening to see some classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try. There are also varieties developed to suit certain local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall in love with it. At the apple events, you can also meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well entertained with apple-themed fun and games. Apple days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, visit the National Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent. 21. What can people do at the apple events? A. Attend experts’ lectures. B. Visit fruit-loving families. C. Taste many kinds of apples. D. Plant fruit trees in an orchard. 22. What can we learn about Decio? A. It is a new variety. B. It is rarely seen now. C. It has a strange look. D. It has a special taste. 23. What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. A clever idea. B. A selfish thought. C. A great plan. D. A useless hope. 【答案】21. C 22. B 23. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了英国的苹果节的作用，人们可以欣赏和品尝各种品种苹果，吸收经验提高苹果生产。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety(品种) of apples.(参加苹果活动是一个很好的机会，可以看到并品尝到各种各样的苹果)”可知，参加苹果节活动是一个很好的欣赏和品尝各种品种苹果的机会。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“To people who are used to the limited kinds of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite eye-opening to see some classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try.(对于习惯了超市里有限种类苹果（比如金冠和皇家嘎啦）的人们来说，看到一些现存的古老苹果品种，比如罗马人种植的Decio，会十分大开眼界。尽管它尝起来没什么特别，但仍然值得一试。)”可知，Decio是古老品种，现在并不常见，味道也不特别。 【23题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall in love with it.(最适合食用的品种之一是Orleans Reinette，但你需要一个温暖、有遮蔽的地方和完美的土壤来种植它，所以对大多数爱上它的苹果爱好者来说，这是a pipe dream。)”可知，这种苹果种植条件极其苛刻，普通人很难满足。由此可推知，对大多数喜爱它的苹果爱好者来说，想种植它只是不切实际、徒劳的奢望。a pipe dream 意为 “白日梦、无法实现的空想”，对应选项D“A useless hope(徒劳的希望)” . B For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative. “It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows. Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences. “China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill. For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.” 24. What can we learn about the exhibition in New York? A. It promoted the sales of artworks. B. It attracted a large number of visitors. C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models. 25. What does Hill say about Chinese women? A. They are setting the fashion. B. They start many fashion campaigns. C. They admire super models. D. They do business all over the world. 26. What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean? A. learning from B. looking down on C. working with D. competing against 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the World B. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York C. Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics D. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章论述了中国文化及中国美学对国际时尚界的影响。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.可知，此次展览吸引的参观者人数创下了记录，显示出人们对中国影响的浓厚兴趣。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中Hill所说的话“Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.”(中国模特是向世界各地的女性推销梦想的美丽和时尚运动的面孔，这意味着中国女性不仅仅是时尚的消费者——她们是这场运动的核心。)可知，Hill说中国女性正在引领新时尚，故选A。 【26题详解】 词义猜测题。根据下文and beating them hands down in design and sales说在设计和销售上击败他们，由此推断出上文Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Mare Jacobs的意思是Vera Wang、Alexander Wang和Jason Wu正在与Galliano、Albaz和 Mare Jacobs竞争。taking on意思是“竞争”，故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。本文通过Amanda Hill的评论，论述了中国文化、中国艺术、中国设计师等等在国际时尚中发挥着非常重要的作用。因此，“中国文化刺激着国际时尚的发展和潮流”最能概括文章大意。故选D。 C The traditional British pub is part of the scenery of British life. At the last count, there are around 50,000 of them in the UK. The oldest – Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St. Albans – was set up in about 793. Because of their abundance, the names pubs take are designed to be memorable, but more than that, they are designed to be visual. Outside any traditional pub worthy of its title, you’ll find a hanging signboard with an unusual and uncommon illustration(插图) that represents the name of the business. The practice is so well established that even new pubs copy it. But why do they exist at all? The first British pub signs were created in the 12th century and were simple representations of beer containers and other brewing-related equipment used to tell passersby that establishments sold beer. This was Britain in the dark ages, when education was in short supply. Since most of the population was unable to read, pub signs were used to inform would-be customers that they could find a drink inside. The earliest uses of pub names would reference the sign directly. People would appoint to meet at “the sign of the Eagle and Child” rather than at “the Eagle and Child”. Today the tradition remains unchanged largely out of respect for the past, but many pub signs do have some functionality. Remote country pubs often use signboards to point the way to their doors. It’s a part of British culture that’s rapidly disappearing – more than 20,000 pubs have closed since 1980 – but for now there are still more than enough. You can take a moment to appreciate the history and symbolism behind a pub’s sign the next time you see one. 28. What is special about British pub signs? A. They copy famous art. B. They show British life. C. They have unique pictures. D. They include the history of the pub. 29. The first British pub signs were mainly used to __________. A. inspire passersby B. inform passersby C. educate passersby D. entertain passersby 30. Modern British pub signs are different from the earliest ones in their ________. A. size B. style C. material D. purpose 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. The history of British pubs. B. The importance of British pub signs. C. The development of British pub signs. D. Why British pubs are unpopular nowadays. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。英国传统的酒吧是英国生活的一部分。根据最新统计，英国有大约5万家酒吧，其中有些可以追溯到五六世纪。本文重点介绍了英国酒吧独特的标牌。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段Outside any traditional pub worthy of its title， you'll find a hanging signboard with a unique illustration（插图）that represents the name of the business．可知英国酒吧标牌的独特之处在于上面都有代表店名的独一无二的插图。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句Since most of the population was unable to read, pub signs were used to inform would-be customers that they could find a drink inside.（由于大多数人都不识字，酒吧的招牌就被用来通知潜在顾客他们可以进来喝一杯。）可知最初酒吧的标牌是为了通知潜在的顾客进店喝一杯的。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句Today the tradition remains unchanged largely out of respect for the past, but many pub signs do have some functionality.（如今，出于对过去的尊重，这一传统基本没有改变，但许多酒吧的招牌还是有一些功能的。）可知现代英国酒吧的标牌实用性更强，所以酒吧标牌的目的与以前不同。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段中It’s a part of British culture that’s rapidly disappearing – more than 20,000 pubs have closed since 1980 – but for now there are still more than enough. You can take a moment to appreciate the history and symbolism behind a pub’s sign the next time you see one.（这是正在迅速消失的英国文化的一部分——自1980年以来，已经有2万多家酒吧倒闭了——但目前仍有足够多的酒吧。下次再看到酒吧标志时，你可以花点时间来欣赏它背后的历史和象征意义。）以及结合全文内容可知本文主要为说明英国酒吧标志的历史演变过程。故选C。 D Food festivals around the world Stilton Cheese Rolling May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane（赛道）. Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese. Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on Earth Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy（辛辣）,but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three clays every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you! La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food Fight On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina—the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd. The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash! 32. In the Stilton cheese rolling competition, competitors on each team must . A. wear various formal clothes B. roll a wooden cheese in their own lane C. kick or throw their cheese D. use a real cheese weighing about four kilos 33. Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held? A. In New Mexico. B. In the Caribbean. C. In Australia. D. In China. 34. The celebration of La Tomatina lasts .

The chief prize for the Stilton cheese rolling competition is beer or port wine. B. More than 10,000 Chinese take pail in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival. C. Thousands of spicy foods are on show in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival. D. An exciting tomato battle takes place at the beginning of La Tomatina. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，分别讲述了英国、新墨西哥以及巴西的几个关于食物的传统节日。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据短文第一段Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes , roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course.四个队伍，穿着滑稽搞笑的衣服，在50米的路程中卷一个完整的奶酪，以及后面but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones这个奶酪是木头的，所以在斯蒂尔顿奶酪滚动比赛中，每个队的参赛者必须在自己的跑道上滚动一个木制的奶酪。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico.可以知道这是在新墨西哥发生的事情，从段落中第三句Their destination is the Fiery Eood and BBQ Festival可以知道人们到新墨西哥是为了参加Fiery food festival.所以Fiery Food and BBQ在新墨西哥州举行。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events.可知，为期一周的庆祝活动将引发一场激动人心的番茄大战，这是本周活动的亮点。所以西红柿大战这个西班牙的节日的持续时间是一周，故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段倒数第二个破折号后面的文字or any one of the thousands of products that are on show.可以知道你可以任意品尝展出的上千种的食物，所以成千上万的辛辣食物在Fiery Eood and BBQ节上展出。故选C。 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。 You can’t help spending much money during the festival season.

There were various formal etiquette (礼节) customs in ancient China, and one of the traditional greeting customs ____56____ (be) the fist-and-palm salute (拱手礼). Dating back over 3,000 years to the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046-771 BC), the fist-and-palm salute appeared as ____57____ defensive gesture. In ancient China, when ____58____ (encounter) strangers, people would prepare for potential conflict, with hands always ready for holding weapons if needed. Holding their hands together with fingers pointing towards ____59____ (them) was seen as a gesture signaling friendliness. Later it became a common way for people to greet each other and express ____60____ (thankful). Chinese people show respect for others through distance, ____61____ is different from Western preferences for physical closeness. Although handshaking ____62____ (introduce) to China around 100 years ago and has become common today, the fist-and-palm salute is frequently employed during traditional ____63____ (occasion) like the Chinese New Year, weddings and funerals. Beyond its role as a traditional greeting, the fist-and-palm salute carries cultural significance and demonstrates a ____64____ (thought) respect for tradition. This gesture bridges the gap _____65_____ modern communication and ancient etiquette, preserving a connection to China’s rich cultural heritage. 【答案】56. was 57. a 58. encountering 59. themselves 60. thankfulness 61. which 62. was introduced 63. occasions 64. thoughtful 65. between 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍中国传统礼仪“拱手礼”的起源、演变、文化内涵，及在现代社会的应用，展现其连接古今的文化价值。 【56题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：中国古代有各种各样的正式礼仪习俗，拱手礼是传统的问候习俗之一。此处为谓语动词，描述古代的情况，用一般过去时；主语one of the traditional greeting customs为单数，所以谓语动词为was。故填was。 【57题详解】 考查冠词。句意：拱手礼可追溯到3000多年前的西周时期（公元前1046-771年），最初是作为一种防御性手势出现的。gesture为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，所以使用冠词，结合句意，此处泛指“一种防御性手势”，且defensive是以辅音音素开头的单词，用不定冠词a。故填a。 【58题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在中国古代，遇到陌生人时，人们会为潜在的冲突做准备，双手随时准备在需要时拿起武器。此处为时间状语从句中的省略结构，省略了“主语+be动词”，people与encounter为主动关系，所以此处用现在分词encountering。故填encountering。 【59题详解】 考查代词。句意：双手合十、手指指向自己被视为一种表示友好的手势。此处主语为people，宾语与主语指代同一群体，用反身代词themselves，意为“他们自己”。故填themselves。 【60题详解】 考查名词。句意：后来，它成为人们互相问候和表达感激之情的常见方式。此处作express的宾语，用thankful的名词形式thankfulness，意为“感激”，为不可数名词。故填thankfulness。 【61题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：中国人通过保持距离来表达对他人的尊重，这与西方人偏好身体接触不同。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句，先行词为前面整个句子描述的“中国人通过距离表达尊重”这件事，在从句中作主语，用关系代词which。故填which。 【62题详解】 考查动词语态和时态。句意：虽然握手大约在100年前传入中国，如今已很普遍，但拱手礼在春节、婚礼和葬礼等传统场合仍被频繁使用。此处为谓语动词，根据时间状语“around 100 years ago”，描述过去发生的动作，用一般过去时；且handshaking与introduce为被动关系，主语为第三人称单数，所以谓语动词为was introduced。故填was introduced。 【63题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：虽然握手大约在100年前传入中国，如今已很普遍，但拱手礼在春节、婚礼和葬礼等传统场合仍被频繁使用。occasion意为“场合”，为可数名词，结合语境表泛指“各类传统场合”，应用复数形式occasions。故填occasions。 【64题详解】 考查形容词。句意：除了作为传统问候方式外，拱手礼还承载着文化意义，体现了对传统的深切尊重。此处修饰名词respect，用thought的形容词形式thoughtful，意为“深切的、体贴的”。故填thoughtful。 【65题详解】 考查介词。句意：这一手势弥合了现代交流与古代礼仪之间的鸿沟，维系着与中国丰富文化遗产的联系。此处为固定搭配“between...and...”，意为“在……和……之间”，用介词between。故填between。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分 40 分） 第一节 书面表达 (满分15分) 66. 假定你是校英文报的记者李华，上周五你校学生会在体育场刚举办了一场“慈善义卖”(Charity Sale)活动，请你写一篇英语报道。要点如下： 1. 活动目的和过程; 2. 活动反响及意义。 注意：1. 词数100左右; 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Aimed at helping the students from poverty-stricken areas, the Student Union launched a grand Charity Sale last Friday at our school’s stadium, which witnessed the kindness and generosity of all the students and teachers present. As scheduled, the activity began at 3:00 p.m., lasting three hours.

With a heart full of dreams and a little bit of nervousness, he flew to the United Kingdom to start a new adventure. He had always imagined what it would be like to walk through the historic streets of England and meet people from different parts of the world. But as soon as he arrived at his new school, he felt a little unsure. In his new class, Li Ming struggled to start conversations with his British classmates. They spoke so quickly and used words and phrases he didn’t understand. When he tried to join their conversations, he felt shy about his accent and worried that he might say something wrong. He also noticed that British students seemed to value their personal space more than he was used to, which made it even harder for him to find the right moment to start a meaningful talk. Group work was even harder. During a group project in literature class, Li Ming had trouble explaining his ideas clearly, feeling like his ideas were getting lost in translation. And he started to doubt himself. Social events outside of class were just as difficult. At a school party, Li Ming watched his classmates laugh, dance, and sing along to the latest pop songs. He felt left out, not knowing the songs or the dance moves. He wanted to join the fun, but the fear of looking silly kept him on the sidelines. One day, the school announced a talent show. Li Ming, who practiced traditional Chinese kung fu, really wanted to try. While he was hesitating, a group of British students interested in cultural performances invited him to join them. Li Ming agreed. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para 1: During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu. They kept cheering loudly as he performed punches, kicks and graceful stances. They asked him to teach them basic moves, and Li Ming patiently demonstrated step by step, using simple English to explain each action’s meaning. When he struggled to express himself clearly, his new friends listened carefully and helped him find the right words. For the first time, Li Ming forgot his shyness and accent, feeling proud to share his culture. Practice became a joyful time where they learned from each other. Para 2: After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. Many classmates came up to him, praising his wonderful performance and asking about Chinese kung fu. Some even invited him to join their conversations and hang out after school. During group work, he dared to speak up confidently, and his ideas were well-received. He no longer felt left out; instead, he found a sense of belonging. Li Ming realized that his unique culture was a bridge to connect with others, and courage and sharing could help him fit in easily. 【解析】 【导语】本文以异国成长为线索，讲述了李明从中国前往英国求学，因语言障碍、文化差异感到迷茫胆怯，难以融入集体，在小组合作和社交场合中屡屡受挫，恰逢学校举办才艺秀，他犹豫是否展示中国功夫时，被一群对文化表演感兴趣的英国学生邀请加入的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句“在他们排练期间，这群人被李明的中国功夫惊呆了。”可知，本段聚焦李明在排练中的转变与融入，通过“组员欢呼、请教功夫、李明耐心教学”的细节，呼应前文李明的功夫特长与内心的胆怯；再以“组员帮助李明表达、李明忘记羞涩、享受分享”的情节，展现他逐渐打破语言与心理障碍，为下文才艺秀成功、彻底融入集体做铺垫，紧扣“异国适应与文化自信”的核心。 ②由第二段首句“才艺秀结束后，李明注意到一些变化正在发生。”可知，本段围绕李明的彻底转变与成长展开，通过“同学称赞、邀请他参与社交、小组合作中自信表达”的细节，体现才艺秀带来的积极影响，呼应前文排练时的努力与组员的友善；以“李明找到归属感、领悟到文化是联结他人的桥梁”的情节，升华主题，完成从“迷茫胆怯、格格不入”到“自信开朗、融入集体”的情节闭环。 2. 续写线索：组员被李明功夫惊艳——组员请教、李明耐心教学——遇语言困难时组员帮忙——李明克服羞涩、收获自信——才艺秀结束后同学称赞、主动结交——小组合作中大胆表达——李明找到归属感、领悟文化的意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①展示：demonstrate/show ②欢呼：cheer/shout with joy ③称赞：praise/commend ④融入：fit in/adapt to ⑤联结：connect/link 情感类 ①自豪的：proud/fulfilling ②自信地：confidently/with confidence 【点睛】[高分句型1]When he struggled to express himself clearly, his new friends listened carefully and helped him find the right words.(运用了when引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2]Li Ming realized that his unique culture was a bridge to connect with others, and courage and sharing could help him fit in easily.(运用了that引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。I wonder if the kids and their classmates are having a good time at the camp.

It’s called Apple Day but in fact it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has become popular, events now last through most of October around Britain. Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety (品种) of apples. To people who are used to the limited kinds of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite eye-opening to see some classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try. There are also varieties developed to suit certain local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall in love with it. At the apple events, you can also meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well entertained with apple-themed fun and games. Apple days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, visit the National Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent. 21. What can people do at the apple events? A. Attend experts’ lectures. B. Visit fruit-loving families. C. Taste many kinds of apples. D. Plant fruit trees in an orchard. 22. What can we learn about Decio? A. It is a new variety. B. It is rarely seen now. C. It has a strange look. D. It has a special taste. 23. What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. A clever idea. B. A selfish thought. C. A great plan. D. A useless hope. B For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative. “It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源) of inspiration for designers,” says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion(时尚) shows. Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art, with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics(美学) on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences. “China is impossible to overlook,” says Hill. “Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese. “Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu are taking on Galliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—and beating them hands down in design and sales,” adds Hill. For Hill, it is impossible not to talk about China as the leading player when discussing fashion. “The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says. “China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market. If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China—its influences, its direction, its breathtaking clothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.” 24. What can we learn about the exhibition in New York? A. It promoted the sales of artworks. B. It attracted a large number of visitors. C. It showed ancient Chinese clothes. D. It aimed to introduce Chinese models. 25. What does Hill say about Chinese women? A. They are setting the fashion. B. They start many fashion campaigns. C. They admire super models. D. They do business all over the world. 26. What do the underlined words “taking on” in paragraph 4 mean? A. learning from B. looking down on C. working with D. competing against 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Young Models Selling Dreams to the World B. A Chinese Art Exhibition Held in New York C. Differences Between Eastern and Western Aesthetics D. Chinese Culture Fueling International Fashion Trends C The traditional British pub is part of the scenery of British life. At the last count, there are around 50,000 of them in the UK. The oldest – Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St. Albans – was set up in about 793. Because of their abundance, the names pubs take are designed to be memorable, but more than that, they are designed to be visual. Outside any traditional pub worthy of its title, you’ll find a hanging signboard with an unusual and uncommon illustration(插图) that represents the name of the business. The practice is so well established that even new pubs copy it. But why do they exist at all? The first British pub signs were created in the 12th century and were simple representations of beer containers and other brewing-related equipment used to tell passersby that establishments sold beer. This was Britain in the dark ages, when education was in short supply. Since most of the population was unable to read, pub signs were used to inform would-be customers that they could find a drink inside. The earliest uses of pub names would reference the sign directly. People would appoint to meet at “the sign of the Eagle and Child” rather than at “the Eagle and Child”. Today the tradition remains unchanged largely out of respect for the past, but many pub signs do have some functionality. Remote country pubs often use signboards to point the way to their doors. It’s a part of British culture that’s rapidly disappearing – more than 20,000 pubs have closed since 1980 – but for now there are still more than enough. You can take a moment to appreciate the history and symbolism behind a pub’s sign the next time you see one. 28. What is special about British pub signs? A. They copy famous art. B. They show British life. C. They have unique pictures. D. They include the history of the pub. 29. The first British pub signs were mainly used to __________. A. inspire passersby B. inform passersby C. educate passersby D. entertain passersby 30. Modern British pub signs are different from the earliest ones in their ________. A. size B. style C. material D. purpose 31. What is the passage mainly about? A. The history of British pubs. B. The importance of British pub signs. C. The development of British pub signs. D. Why British pubs are unpopular nowadays. D Food festivals around the world Stilton Cheese Rolling May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane（赛道）. Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese. Fiery Foods Festival—The Hottest Festival on Earth Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction—food that is not just spicy（辛辣）,but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three clays every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper—officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure—if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you! La Tomatina—The World's Biggest Food Fight On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina—the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes—official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd. The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again—and for a much-needed wash! 32. In the Stilton cheese rolling competition, competitors on each team must . A. wear various formal clothes B. roll a wooden cheese in their own lane C. kick or throw their cheese D. use a real cheese weighing about four kilos 33. Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held? A. In New Mexico. B. In the Caribbean. C. In Australia. D. In China. 34. The celebration of La Tomatina lasts . A. three days B. seven days C. less than three days D. more than seven days 35. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The chief prize for the Stilton cheese rolling competition is beer or port wine. B. More than 10,000 Chinese take pail in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival. C. Thousands of spicy foods are on show in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival. D. An exciting tomato battle takes place at the beginning of La Tomatina. 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。 You can’t help spending much money during the festival season.

With a heart full of dreams and a little bit of nervousness, he flew to the United Kingdom to start a new adventure. He had always imagined what it would be like to walk through the historic streets of England and meet people from different parts of the world. But as soon as he arrived at his new school, he felt a little unsure. In his new class, Li Ming struggled to start conversations with his British classmates. They spoke so quickly and used words and phrases he didn’t understand. When he tried to join their conversations, he felt shy about his accent and worried that he might say something wrong. He also noticed that British students seemed to value their personal space more than he was used to, which made it even harder for him to find the right moment to start a meaningful talk. Group work was even harder. During a group project in literature class, Li Ming had trouble explaining his ideas clearly, feeling like his ideas were getting lost in translation. And he started to doubt himself. Social events outside of class were just as difficult. At a school party, Li Ming watched his classmates laugh, dance, and sing along to the latest pop songs. He felt left out, not knowing the songs or the dance moves. He wanted to join the fun, but the fear of looking silly kept him on the sidelines. One day, the school announced a talent show. Li Ming, who practiced traditional Chinese kung fu, really wanted to try. While he was hesitating, a group of British students interested in cultural performances invited him to join them. Li Ming agreed. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: During their practice, the group was amazed by Li Ming’s Chinese kung fu. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
