    If you want to appreciate a new culture, you’d better take part in one of its festivals. Some festivals are celebrated by the whole country, while others will be unique to a single city or area, but either way festivals play an important role in a culture’s identity. Here we put together four festivals that are definitely worth checking out.

    1.Songkran—Thailand

    If you’re in Thailand between April 13th and 15th,get ready for world’s biggest water fight. The celebration marks the beginning of the Thai New Year, a time when water is meant to purify (凈化) and renew. In Bangkok or Chang Mai, the water fights can last up to six days, as Thais and tourists fight each other in the streets with hoses (膠管) and water balloons. While this is the most popular activity, Songkran is also a time when people visit elders and monks to pay their respects to the New Year.

    2.La Tomatina—Bunol,Spain

    Every last Wednesday in August, the town of Bunol is covered in thousands of crushed (壓碎的) tomatoes in the world’s biggest food fight. Many people wear goggles (護目鏡) during this hour of messy fun, as the town becomes a red river of disorder.

    3.Boryeong Mud Festival—Boryeong, R.O. Korea

    Let the mudslinging begin! For two weeks in July, millions gather in Boryeong to experience the grey pools and slides. What began as way of promoting (推廣) the region’s mineral-rich mud has turned into a cheerful party, complete with music and fireworks. While the mud is usually only available in cosmetic (化妝品) products, here you can cake yourself in grey all you want.

    4.Koninginnedag—The Netherlands

    Although their Queen’s birthday is really during the winter, she celebrates it on April 30,the country’s official “Queen’s Day” since 1949. Orange is the national color, and the streets become a sea of shining wigs (假發(fā)), feather boas (羽毛圍巾), and body paint, as crowds gather in the plazas and on boats in the canals. Amsterdam is the center of this outdoor party, with many live music acts, but nearly every town is alive with orange on this day.

    21.Wuring the Songkran celebration in Thailand, .

    A. people have to take a bath every day

    B. tourists are welcome to join in with the water fight

    C. local people usually invite monks into their homes

    D. people bring purified water to the elders to show respect

    22.Where is La Tomatina held?

    A. In Thailand. B. In Spain. C.In R.O. Korea. D. In the Netherlands.

    23.The celebration of the Boryeong Mud Festival lasts .

    A. two days B. six days C. two weeks D. a whole month

    24.Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?

    A. The mineral-rich mud in Boryeong is good for the skin.

    B. Thousands of tons of tomatoes are on sale during La Tomatina.

    C. The Dutch queen’s birthday falls on April 30 but is celebrated in winter.

    D. People in Amsterdam wear green clothes to celebrate Koninginnedag.

    Dear Editor,

    I am writing to ask what has happened to our young people. They are not as polite, hard-working or clever as my generation. I will give you two examples.

    Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 a.m. It was very crowded so there was no free seats. There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me. I didn’t know why they were not at school. They were talking and laughing loudly. It was difficult for me to read my newspaper with all the noise .At the next stop, a heavily pregnant(懷孕的) woman and her daughter got on with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They saw the woman but they did nothing. I had to ask them to give the woman and her daughter seats. They unwillingly did so but gave me a rude look. I got off at the next stop and was pleased that the teenagers didn’t follow me.

    Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend’s family. I was glad to see his children, who I hadn’t seen for ten years. During the dinner, I started talking about world politics with the children. It soon became clear that they didn’t know much about it. They couldn’t tell me the name of the Queen of Britain or President of Russia. All they knew about was the Internet or which singers were the most beautiful. In my days, students knew the kings, the queens and the presidents of every country in Europe.

    I worry about the future of China. Howcould these young people become responsible workers and parents? They sit around in McDonald’s or Internet bars after school instead of going to the library like I did at theirage. Maybe they have too much money. Perhaps some readers can give us some ideas about what to do with this “l(fā)ost generation”.

    Yours sincerely,

    Concerned

    25. For what purpose Mr. Concerned writes this letter to the editor?

    A. To show how rude the teenagers were.

    B. To express his worry about his friend’s children’s future.

    C. To show how lazy young people nowadays are.

    D. To complain the way some young people acted.

    26.When Mr. Concerned met the teenagers on the underground, he .

    A. knew there was no hope for him to get a seat

    B. expected that they would get off at the next stop

    C. felt he would meet with some trouble from them

    D. thought they should have been studying rather than staying there

    27.Why did Mr. Concerned feel disappointed at the dinner?

    A. Because he was not politely treated.

    B. Because the children cared more about the Internet than him.

    C. Because the children did not know much about world politics.

    D. Because he had different opinions on the world politics from his friend.

    28.What does Mr. Concerned refer to by saying “l(fā)ost generation” ?

    A. Today’s youths. B. The people at his age.

    C. His worry about these young people. D. The fact that he is angry with young people today.

    C

    Simone was born in Ohio, but grew up in Texas. Early on, she and her siblings (兄妹) were adopted by her grandparents, who she says support her in everything. She first realized she wanted to be a gymnast at age 6 when she and her classmates went on a field trip to a local gym. A coach at the gym saw her natural talent and wrote a letter to her grandparents urging them to get her involved. The sport she signed up for “for fun” soon turned into her life’s passion.

    Simone is energetic, so it’s no surprise that she’s got a few medals in her time; her ten world gold medals are the most ever achieved by a woman in gymnastics history. She is also the first woman to win four medals at the World Championships, which happened in her second year performing in 2014.

    In 2015 Simone became the first gymnast to win three constant all-around titles at the World Gymnastic Championships. She even amazed herself, telling the media: “I blew my own mind,” and posting to social media “breaking history is kind of cool.”

    What surprised everyone the most though, was that she was performing as she usually does —her skill is so beyond everyone else that she can’t be beaten even when she trips up!

    29.What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?

    A. Simone’s early experience. B. Simone’s sports life.

    C. Simone’s Gymnastics coach. D. Simone’s family.

    30.What is Simone’s greatest achievement?

    B. She won the first woman championship in gymnastics.

    C. She won ten world gold medals in gymnastics history.

    D. She got the first gold medal at the World Championships.

    31.What does the phrase “I blew my own mind” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

    A. I lost heart. B. I was beaten.

    C. I tried my best. D. I surprised myself.

    32.What purpose is the passage written for?

    A. To make readers interested in great gym players.

    B. To praise Simone for her skills and Olympic spirits.

    C. To list Simone’s gold medals in the World Cup.

    D. To give a brief introduction to Simone’s achievements.

    DNature is the greatest teacher in the nursery schools (幼兒園) of Scandinavia

    All across Scandinavia small children are running wild! You can find them running through grassland, with dirt on their faces and small bags on their backs. You can also find them playing in small rivers or climbing up trees. In Northern European countries, nature nursery schools are growing in popularity because research shows that these “nature” children are better in many ways than the children in normal nursery schools.

    Although there are different themes (主題) in different schools, nature nursery schools are most often built in a forest. A forest gives the perfect chance for a child to develop a healthy body. The forest also offers many learning chances.

    Children can run around as much as they want and shout as loudly as they can. Children can use their bodies to the full, climbing, swinging, carrying and jumping. What’s more, the forest is filled with playthings: a stick can be a horse to ride or be used to direct traffic. Imagination can run wild through the trees.

    For these children, the world is full of life: rabbits and monkeys, wild flowers and green plants. What better way could there be to learn about animals, plants and the changing of the seasons? What better way to teach children to learn about the world and protect the environment?

    Most often, such nursery schools are green. They buy environmentally-friendly products, and work with the idea of environmental sustainability (可持續(xù)性) such as energy saving. In giving children a chance to develop a meaningful, friendly and responsible (負責的) relationship with the natural world, it must be a regular daily practice for them to touch the earth, to hear birdsong, to collect fruits and get to know animals and plants. In wind, rain, snow and shine, let the children run wild!

    33. The second paragraph mainly talks about .

    A. the history of nature nursery schools B. the popularity of nature nursery schools

    C. the location of nature nursery schools D. the importance of nature nursery schools

    34. According to the text, in a forest, children can learn to .

    A. avoid dangers B. ride horses

    C. direct traffic D. love animals

    35.We know from the text that nature nursery schools .

    A. ask children to stay inside when the weather is bad

    B. encourage children to protect the environment

    C. are usually painted green

    D. all have the same theme
