This 3-day local favourite is one of Canada's biggest festivals, having a line-up of indie, rap and pop moguls. The festival is divided into six main stages: Mountain, River, Tree, Green, Valley and Zone Piknic Electronik—each featuring a different type of music.

Taking place in the LeBreton Flats along the Ottawa River, the festival will run across five stages over 10 exciting days. The star-studded line-up is full of local and international talents.

When Kirk Alexander went missing for 11 days, an unlikely savior came to his rescue: his neighbourhood pizza store.
Almost every night for more than ten years, Alexander ordered a late dinner from his local Domino's pizza store. Until suddenly, for nearly two weeks, he didn't.
It was a Saturday night when Domino's general manager Fuller felt she could no longer ignore Alexander's recent absence.
Fuller had known Alexander since 2009, when she started at the Domino's store as a delivery driver and regularly made the short trip to Alexander's home about six minutes away. She knew Alexander worked from home, and neighbours said he rarely left. She also knew that he had suffered some health issues in the past. Something, Fuller worried, was wrong.
On Sunday, Fuller sent her coworker Hamblen to stop by Alexander's home. Hamblen approached Alexander's door and knocked. He could plainly see that Alexander's TV set was on, as were his lights; but after several minutes, Alexander still didn't answer the door. Seriously worried now, Hamblen called Alexander directly. His phone went straight to voicemail.
Hamblen called to relay the upsetting developments to Fuller. She dialed 911. Soon, officers were on their way.
When deputies (警官) arrived at Alexander's house, they broke the door down and found Alexander on the floor “in need of immediate medical attention”. Alexander was rushed to the hospital, where he was listed in stable condition shortly after the dramatic rescue. In the following weeks, Fuller and the other employees went to visit him with flowers and cards, noting that Alexander greeted them with knowing smiles. Their role in his rescue did not seem lost on Alexander, though to Fuller, it was all just part of the job.
Fuller and her coworkers' heroism did not go unnoticed. After their story went viral, they received invitations—and free flights to a Domino's corporate rally in Las Vegas as a nod to their status as real-life superheroes.
4. How did Fuller get to know Alexander?
A. By going on a trip.
B. By delivering dinner to him.
C. By Hamblen's introduction.
D. By working as Domino's general manager.
5. What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 7?
A. Alexander knew he was safe.
B. Alexander was in stable condition.
C. Alexander was happy to see his friends.
D. Alexander was aware of what had happened to him.
6. Why did Fuller and her workmates go to a corporate rally?
A. That was part of their job.
B. They were offered free flights.
C. They were rewarded for their kind act.
D. They wanted to be superheroes.
7. Which of the following can be used to describe Fuller?
A. Attentive and helpful.
B. Hard-working and honest.
C. Careful and brave.
D. Reliable and powerful.
C
Now is the time to act on climate change. We need to cut carbon emissions (排放), and knowing this, it is easy to be pessimistic. Strangely, I'm feeling the opposite. And that's mostly because of one factor: Batteries. It isn't obvious but over the last decade or so, just as we've watched our computers get faster and screens get thinner, batteries have greatly improved too.
According to the European Patent Office, the number of battery patents filed grew by an average of 14 percent every year between 2005 and 2018. Energy storage is getting better and better, as more companies are discovering new chemistry and processes to make them work more efficiently.
And the results of all of this work are astonishing. Energy density—the amount of power that can be stored in the same sized battery—has doubled in the last decade. And the costs of batteries have fallen a lot too.
Brilliantly, because electric batteries are improving so noticeably, we can already see the results. Last September, 15 percent of all new vehicle registrations were pure electric vehicles. So the change is starting to happen.
It's conceivable that in the not-too-distant future, alongside other essentials in our homes like a boiler and a fuse box, we might also have an enormous battery in the garage. This would take power from the grid (电网) or maybe even solar panels on the roof, and power appliances and lights in our homes at the times when demand for electricity is high.
So, given how much technology has improved batteries over the last decade, I can't help but be strangely optimistic about the future. Batteries may not be as flashy (显眼的) as phones, rockets or other new technologies, but when it comes to technology to fight climate change, they're definitely leading the charge.
8. What is the author's attitude towards cutting carbon emissions?
A. Doubtful. B. Favourable.
C. Unclear. D. Anxious.
9. What is the possible result of batteries' great improvement?
A. It'll make them more environment-friendly.
B. It'll make people use electricity at will.
C. It will slow the development of pure electric vehicles.
D. It'll cause the prices of batteries to rise.
10. What does the underlined word “conceivable” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Unacceptable. B. Astonishing.
C. Possible. D. Unreliable.
11. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Carbon Emissions Result in Climate Change
B. Now Is the Time to Act on Climate Change
C. How Battery Technology Can Save the Planet
D. How Much Technology Has Improved Batteries
D
It is no accident that many films and shows open with a crazy, action-packed scene that drives viewers to ask: “What's going on here, who are these people and what do they want?” These scenes are designed to keep us watching.
A scientist who explores climate history by analysing stalagmites (石笋) held a lecture. At the beginning of her talk, she showed a photo of herself crawling through a cave to collect samples. The audience immediately perked up. Starting with that image, we couldn't wait to ask why this scientist was crawling around in a dangerous cave, which might have attracted the audience more strongly from the beginning.
However, this particular storytelling technique is perhaps the most appropriate in presentations; research papers typically demand more straightforward reporting of results in the form of a clear abstract. When scientists describe their research to audiences outside their professional field, they often avoid discussing personal trials and sufferings. Instead, they focus only on positive, published results. No one wants to look like a failure, even if such experiences can be vastly valuable. But hiding the hardships might cut out some of your best story material. The research process lends itself perfectly to this narrative concept (叙事概念); it can be described as a winding road of plot twists that reshapes the lives of scientists and our understanding of the world. Invite others to join you for the ups and downs of your research. Instead of just presenting your findings, describe how you reacted to those discoveries. What was the most exciting? How did you get wrong? As Emma Coats, a former Pixar storyboard artist, noted in a list of storytelling principles she posted on a website: “You admire a character for trying more than for their successes.”
Try to apply screenwriting strategies to your presentation. After all, as the character Tyrion Lannister states in the television series Game of Thrones, “There's nothing in the world more powerful than a good story.”
12. What is the common feature of a film and a lecture mentioned in the first two paragraphs?
A. They start with a story.
B. They both focus on technical details.
C. They reflect the same background.
D. They both arouse audiences' curiosity.
13. Which can best replace the underlined phrase “perked up” in Paragraph 2?
A. Became active.
B. Got shocked.
C. Became embarrassed.
D. Got lost.
14. How do the researchers typically present their findings?
A. By using a storytelling technique.
B. By outlining the results in brief.
C. By describing their report in detail.
D. By focusing only on valuable experiences.
15. What is this text mainly about?
A. The power of a good story.
B. The advice on research papers.
C. The techniques to attract audience.
D. The storytelling technique in presentations.
Ⅱ. 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Humour is a phenomenon influenced by culture. It can be difficult to determine what aspects form a certain sense of humour. How funny somebody finds a certain incident depends on many aspects including ages, personal experiences, levels of education and geographical locations. A nation's sense of humour is linked to the historical development of the country.
But what about when both countries speak the same mother tongue? Will they then share the same sense of humour or can differences still occur? Let's take the example of Britain and America. To what degree is this true, if at all?
Recent research proves that there are two major differences between British and American sense of humour. However, it's not shared by Americans. For example, if a British man lost his new and favourite mobile phone in the toilet, he just said, “Well done! That's just what I need.”
And that kind of jokes is called negative humour by researchers. British men and women use it on a daily basis, while it is not the case of American humour. What Americans don't understand is the need to use it so frequently. When Americans use negative humour, they tend to state that they were “only kidding”.
Although the British really do have a unique sense of humour, quite different from American humour, they can both appreciate the other's sense of humour. Therefore, some shows describe a lifestyle which both Americans and the British alike can relate to.
A. British jokes tend to have a hidden meaning.
B. Thus humour can't always be conveyed in another country.
C. Americans and the British often share the same sense of humour.
D. Humour contrary to what you want to say is regarded as typically British.
E. The other difference is how frequent to joke about the dark side of life.
F. People say Americans and the British hardly understand each other's jokes.
G. Comedies The Office (UK) and The Office (USA) gain in popularity in both countries.

Dear Martin,
How is everything going with you these days? I would like to invite you to take part in the “Build Beautiful Countryside” voluntary activity.
In this activity, not only will we gather rubbish from the river but we are also expected to plant some flowers along the road. In addition, what needs to be emphasised is that it is scheduled to be held on Sunday afternoon in the countryside in the south of our city. I have the idea that you will know more about traditional Chinese countryside and realise the importance of environmental protection, which, without doubt, requires joint efforts.
Looking forward to your participation.
Yours,
Li Hua

【参考范文】
The day came soon when I would compete again. My father, as usual, came into my room, patted my shoulder, and said in his firm but slow voice, “Be skilled in using skills, keep the cooperation with other team members, pay attention to safety.” The familiar language and the familiar instructions stirred in my heart again. Many a time I would secretly resolve to finish the race well and live up to my father's expectations.
After the game, as usual, I told my father about the game. My father smiled slightly and asked, “What did you learn from this competition?” I thought my father would be happy to praise me, so I did not know what to do when he asked. My father seemed to see my embarrassment and said, “The game is important, but the most important thing is the reflection it gives us.” I looked at my father as if I understood a lot.
