WOMAD Festival WOMAD stands for World of Music,Arts and Dance and was the idea of rock musician Peter Gabriel to promote world music.The WOMAD Festival started in 1982 and takes place in July at Charlton Park,near Malmesbury in Wiltshire,and you can see different bands and musicians from all over the world.The festival welcomes over 26,000 visitors each year.

On the 14th day,it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner,buy her flowers and chocolates,write poems,sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals!This is what you see on Valentine's Day,a day named after Valentine who was a priest in the third century Rome.When the emperor decided that single men could beceme better soldiers than those with wives,he didn't allow marriage. But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered,the emperor sentenced him to death.While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard.Before his death, he wrote her a letter,which he signed"From your Valentine",an expression that is still in use today.Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint ()as well as becoming one of history's most romantic characters. Nowadays,Valentine's Day is also popular among Chinese young people.Some students are planning to make Valentine's cards for parents,teachers and friends.Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St.Valentine. 34.Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country? A.Because there were few women in his country at that time. B.Because he thought men without wives could be better soldiers. Because there wasn't enough food for so many people. D.Because he wanted to control the birthrate. 35.Valentine was put into prison because A.he killed one of the soldiers B.he stole a lot of food C.he didn't obey the emperor's order D.he didn't want to be a soldier 36.The last paragraph mainly tells us A.students in China send cards to their teach ers 西安中学高一年级英语试题第5页（共12页） B.it is a good idea to celebrate Valentine's Day in China C.it is interesting to celebrate Valentine's Day in China D.Valentine's Day is also popular in China now 37.The best title for this passage should be A.Valentine's Day B.A Brave Priest C.Valentine's Day in China D.A Romantic Man c There are few things more satisfying and heartwarming than a baby's first words But long before.babies start saying "mama"and "dada",they're able to have back-and-forth"conversations"with parents and caregivers.Do babies exposed to lots of language show any differences in brain structure compared to those who hear fewer words?Researchers are curious about the answer.Professor John Spencer of the University of East Anglia carried out a study with his colleagues. Researchers had young children and babies wear recording devices over three days, allowing them to hear everything that the babies heard.Afterwards,they got their brain imaging.Myelin(髓磷脂)is something that plays a role in the nervous system(神经系 )allowing the brain to send messages faster and more efficiently.The results showed that little children aged 30 months and up,who were exposed to more adult speech,had more myelin in language-processing brain areas.This suggested an optimistic connection between brain development and exposure to language.However,the study also found a surprising thing.Babies around six months old,who heard more speech,had less myelin in those areas.But that doesn't mean that speaking to babies affects brain development, Spencer said. What caused that?Spencer suggested at six months,baby brains tended to focus on basic growth related to information transmission ()whereas at 30 months,brain development related more to connections and structure."When you're over six months old,more input is good."Spencer suggested."At that point,your brain is growing quickly,so the input comes in and is received to prepare for brain development of that siage alking with little children offers so many benefits.But it can feel uncomfortable for parents to try and have a speech partner who is too little.You can start by speaking to babies.For example,reading to them or telling them the steps of a bottle preparation in normal adult speech can give little children early language exposure.Moreover,if a baby isn't speaking yet,parents can put their movements and sounds into the conversation. The most important thing is to give babies a chance to talk. 西安中学高一年级英语试题第6页（共12页） 38.What did John Spencer want to find out through his study? A.How babies learn to communicate with adults. B.How children's language develops over time. C.The differences between baby words and adult speech D.The influence of language contact on babies'brain development. 39.What does the underlined word"optimistic"in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Positive B.Weak C.Simple D.Negative 40.What may lead to the differences in children's brain imaging according to Spencer? A.The separate amount of information input. B.The changing focus of their brain growth. C.The lifestyles formed in different environments. D.The relationships between parents and children. 41.What's the last paragraph mainly about? A.The suggestions for talking with babies. 8.The benefits of playing with little children. C.The difficulty of encouraging babies to speak. D.The importance of early language exposure for babies. D Rejection is a universal experience,but the pain of it can feel so individual.No matter how many times you have experienced it,being told you didn't get the job or that a date doesn't want to see you again is always hurtful. Historically,the pain that comes with rejection has been a useful tool.For our ancestors,being kept away from a group would have been a death sentence,since it was difficult to survive alone.Thus,the brain likely developed an alarming system to warn us when we were at risk of being rejected.Those who experienced rejection as more painful gained an advantage since they were more likely to adjust their behavior to remain in the group. Being rejected has far smaller consequences now tham it did thousands of years ago. Still,we read it as a threat to our health.The reason why it hurts is the same reason why we experience pain when we step on a sharp object.Research which compared brain activity of people who had experienced reiection with that of people who had experienced physical pain showed that many of the same regions of the brain lit up.The pain is a warning that something is damaging our health. Concern with rejection is perfectly normal,but being overly worried can affect the quality of our life.If you take rejection personally,your self-worth will suffer;but if you 西安中学高一年级英语试题第7页（共12页） blame it on the general injustice of the world,it will make you angry and bitter. Therefore,it is necessary to do a reasonable analysis on what the problem is.If someone doesn't call you back,don't jump to the conclusion that they don't want to talk to you. They might be sick or busy. Rejection is a normal part of everyone's life.Instead of seeing the shame that comes with rejection as a negative emotion,see it as a sign that your brain is working exactly how it should be. 42 How did the pain of rejection help our ancestors survive? A.By increasing the safety of living alone. B.By showing the consequence of teamwork C.By reminding them to change their behavior. D.By warning them to keep away from danger. 43.What does the research suggest about rejection and physical pain? A.They are both a cause of brain damage. B.They are both a warning to our survival. C.They recall the same suffering in the past. D.They produce the same response in our brain 44.What does the author advise us to do about rejection? A.Analyze it reasonably. B.Doubt it bravely. C.Ignore it immediately. D Take it personally. 45.What can be a suitable title for the passage? A.Rejection:Whose Fault Is It? B.Rejection:A Shame or Not? How Can We Avoid Rejection? D.Why Does Rejection Hurt So Much? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 The 24 solar terms are part of the traditional Chinese calendar.The Chinese people divided a year in-to24 segments(片段)based on the sun's position in the zodiac(黄道 十二宫).46 They reflect the changes of the seasons,climate and phenology(生 物气候学).The Yetlow River Basin in northern China is believed to be the cradle(摇篮) of the solar terms system.
