Here are some festivals that might make you scratch your head.    Wife Carrying World Championship—Sonkajärvi, Finland    Wife carrying started as a sport in Sonkajärvi, Finland, in 1992. Participants are asked to carry their wives in a variety of ways across a 253.5-meter track full of obstacles, from fences to water pools. The prize is awarded based on the wife’ s weight in beer.    International Hair Freezing Contest—Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada    International Hair Freezing Contest is a fun winter celebration that occurs every February outside at the Takhini Hot Pools. Participants in the contest put their heads in the hot water of the pools and then create frosty hairstyles by shaping their hair as it freezes in the cold air above. Temperatures in the area can reach below －30℃ at the time of the contest. Winners receive a small cash prize.    Underwater Music Festival—Looe Key Reef, Florida, USAHeld in the Florida Keys in America’ s only living coral barrier reef（珊瑚礁）, the festival has been running for 31 years. A local radio station sponsors the event to  promote coral protection and responsible diving, and they play their sea-themed music underwater through speakers hung under boats situated above the reef. Participants are encouraged to wear costumes and play “underwater instruments” to compete for prizes.    Boryeong Mud Festival—Boryeong, South Korea    This annual festival occurs in July in the village of Boryeong.  It was originally created as an outdoor marketing event for Boryeong mud cosmetics（化妆品）. The mud there is rich in natural minerals and is used to make beauty products. The festival is popular with locals and tourists alike. Notable festivities include a mud pool, mud slides, mud prison and mud skiing.21. People concerned about the environment will most probably focus on the festival held in _________.    A. Sonkajärvi     B. Whitehorse       C. Florida          D. Boryeong22. In which festival can’ t the participant compete alone?    A. Boryeong Mud Festival.             B.

They all started as fun sports.         B. They are all held in the open air.C. They all offer cash to prize-winners.    D. They are all held in the same season.BDo you know the proverb "no pains, no gains"? It gives the impression that we ought to be suffering while we study. It seems that the only way to know if we're putting in enough work is how much hardship we bear. We are totally taken up with study, shutting ourselves away for a big exam. Is that necessarily true?     When we haven't taken the time to come up with another idea, we just shut ourselves in a room with a book. It's no surprise that we find revision boring and difficult. Just as children learn from playing, we can learn from doing, or at least from study techniques that interest us, rather than make us switch off. Shutting ourselves away can make us learn to hate studying, leading to a situation where, instead of being able to concentrate  on our work, we are troubled by how unfair it is that we must study. This can be part of a vicious(恶性的) cycle that traps us into ineffective revision, or poor progress fueling further annoyance.     Thankfully, working in the company of other people really helps fight against that. We just need to learn how to deal with distractions(分心). It's not necessary to avoid all company, just lazy company. They constantly try to keep others in conversation. While studying in the same room with someone who is ironing or working out is perfectly possible. Of course, it's also a good idea to avoid the company of people involved in activities where you would rather be playing than studying. Working while sitting next to someone playing video games is most likely to end with a new high score in games rather than productive revision.     If being around others means working in a noisy environment, a pair of headphones and some background music can block out noises. They also act as a psychological barrier, so that people think twice before interrupting you. Besides, we should know friends and family can lessen feelings of isolation. And connecting with other people makes us happy, so it's important not to give that up and to make sure that we take the time to socialise.What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A.To introduce an effective studying means.    B.To encourage us to work as hard as possible.C.To remind us to balance activities and study.  D.To discuss the importance of family company.25.What can we learn from the second paragraph?A.Good ideas are needed in terms of progress. B.Ways that interest us can lead to effective revision.C.Shutting ourselves away can help concentrate on work.D.Revision is interesting and easy with study techniques for certain.26.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 imply?A.One should learn from certain activities that interest us.B.Playing video games is helpful for effective study.C.One shouldn't study with the company of a video player.D.The more time one spends in playing games, the higher test scores one will get.27.What had you better do if you are studying in a noisy environment?A.Give up others' company at once.    B.Think twice before taking any action.C.Give indication of not wanting to be interrupted.D.Force yourself to be accustomed to the environment.CNobody wants to snack on plastic bags or soda rings, but according to a recent study from the University of Neweastle, we could be consuming roughly a credit card's worth of plastic every week.Microplastic, which are less than a quarter-inch size and come in various shapes, have polluted the natural world and infiltrated(渗入)our bodies. The first clue to microplastic exposure in humans came around 2013, when scientists discovered plastic particles in seafood prepared for consumption. But in 2019, when the University of Newcastle study was published, the scientific community understood that the problem was considerably broader. Microplastics shed off clothes and tires and have been found in beer, honey, table salt and other food items. We breathe in plastic staying in the air and drink plastic floating in our drinks. It's no stretch to conclude that our exposure is significant. What we don't know is what this means for us.The amount of evidence collected on this subject is growing rapidly, according to Scott Coffin, a toxicologist(毒理学家). Studies done on mice and rats have found that plastic in their bodies can severely damage cells and cause stress.                                       Because microplastics are too small to clean up, the only solution is to stop plastic waste at the source. And doing so would take a thorough adjustment, given that plastics are deeply embedded in our economy and lifestyle. Stopping using them would fundamentally affect countless industries, including textiles(纺织业), transportation and manufacturing."I think we need to have more studies coming out that are directly related to human health before we see a lot more concern from the general public," Scott said. "It takes a  lot to convince people that something that is really convenient for them to use is something they should sacrifice."The question of microplastics and human health needs more attention—from the scientific community ,the general public, the government and funding groups. The issue isn't being ignored, but it's not being prioritized either.28.What does the second paragraph mainly tell us about microplastics?A.Their wide usage in daily life.          B.Their harm to human health.C.Their significant exposure in humans.    D.The new study conducted on them.29.What does the underlined part "this subject" refer to?A.The way that microplastics exist.      B.The pollution caused by microplastics.C.The relationship between microplastics and human health.D.The reason for the existence of microplastics.30.How to solve the problem according to Scott?A.To cut down plastic production.    B.To carry out more studies on mice and rats.C.To invent something more convenient than plastics.D.To promote people's awareness on the harm brought by microplastics.31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage?A.Is Microplastic pollution harmful to our health?B.Why is Microplastic pollution everywhere?C.Why is plastic harmful?       D.What do you know about Microplastics?D When night falls in the Netherlands, lights  dance across a farm and create a dreamy landscape. Here, in a field inspired by beauty and equipped with photobiology, art meets with agriculture. Yet, there is more than what meets the eye; these glowing lights also provide higher production and more sustainable crops.    This magical field is part of a project called GROW and was created by Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde. Living in the city, he had a desire to connect people to the source（源头）of their food in an inspiring way. “How can we make the farmer the hero? We barely know where our food comes from,” Roosegaarde said in the video describing the project.His vision was to combine science and art, and in so doing, create a better world. Desiring to offer the world light in dark times, he set to work in a 5-acre field of leeks（韭葱）. He used his own design concept alongside artists, a team of designers, and experts  at the Wageningen University.    Using the science of photobiology, the group discovered that certain mixes of red, blue, and ultraviolet lights accelerate plant growth. The team then put LEDs in different places across the field. These lights move up and down in order to ensure the light is evenly distributed across the area. And when these lights move at night, they seem to dance, creating a poetic dreamscape. “It’ s very futuristic and also very romantic, in a way,” Roosegaarde said.    Aside from being beautiful and promoting growth, the team observed that due to these lights, they needed to use 50 percent less pesticides（杀虫剂）on the crop. This is because this specific recipe of lights activated the defense system of the plants. And as it works on all crops, not just leeks, Roosegaarde foresees a way to reduce the use of pesticides on many other plants. And his project will soon be touring 40 countries, and sending its dancing lights across the world.32. What message does Daan Roosegaarde try to convey in his video?    A. It’ s important to know the source of food.    B. People living in cities desire to save food.    C. It’ s easy to track where food comes from.    D. Farmers are considered as heroes by the public.33. What did Daan Roosegaarde do for his project?   A. He invented low-cost pesticides.       B. He came up with the design concept.   C. He learned dancing skills in a college. D. He bought 5 acres of leeks from farmers.34. Why are less pesticides needed on the crop with the lights alongside?    A. The lights make it more resistant to pests.    B. The lights kill off most of the pests on it.    C. The lights are too bright for pests to tolerate.    D. The lights are equipped with a defense system.35. What is the best title for the text?    A. Dancing Lights—a Widespread Scene in the Field    B. Magical Fields Make Plants Beautiful in the Light    C. Plants in the Netherlands—Great Dancers at Night    D. Art Mixed with Science Improves Crop Production第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面的短文，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。Social events can be frightening for a woman because they usually involve huge crowds.

We breathe in plastic staying in the air and drink plastic floating in our drinks. It's no stretch to conclude that our exposure is significant.(从衣服和轮胎脱落的微塑料在啤酒、蜂蜜、食盐和其他食品中也有发现。我们吸入空气中的塑料,喝漂浮在饮料中的塑料。毫不夸张地说,我们已经巨大地暴露在了微塑料中)”可知,本段主要介绍了微塑料已经大量出现在人们的生活中。故选C。2.词句猜测题。根据第二段末的“What we don't know is what this means for us.(我们不知道这对我们意味着什么)”和第三段的“Studies done on mice and rats have found that plastic in their bodies can severely damage cells and cause stress.(对小鼠和大鼠进行的研究发现,它们体内的塑料会严重损伤细胞并造成压力)”可知,为了能够找到微塑料对人体健康危害的证据,科学家在老鼠身上进行了研究。由此推知,this subject指的是“微塑料与人类健康的关系”。故选C。3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“"I think we need to have more studies coming out that are directly related to human health before we see a lot more concern from the general public," Scott said. "It takes a lot to convince people that something that is really convenient for them to use is something they should sacrifice."(斯科特说:“我认为,我们需要进行更多与人类健康直接相关的研究,才能看到公众更多的关注。要花大量精力才能让人们相信方便他们使用的东西会让他们付出代价。”)”可推知,Scott认为解决这个问题的方法是提高人们对微塑料危害的认识。故选D。4.主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容,第二段末的“What we don't know is what this means for us.(我们不知道这对我们意味着什么)”和第三段“The amount of evidence  collected on this subject is growing rapidly, according to Scott Coffin, a toxicologist(毒理学家).Studies done on mice and rats have found that plastic in their bodies can severely damage cells and cause stress.(毒理学家Scott Coffin表示,在这个问题上收集的证据数量正在迅速增长。对小鼠和大鼠进行的研究发现,它们体内的塑料会严重损伤细胞并造成压力)”可知,文章主要介绍微塑料已经大量出现在我们的日常生活,但是否会对我们的健康造成影响,还需进一步的研究。故“微塑料污染对我们的健康有害吗?”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。       完型填空  BDACD  BCABD  CABAD  CBDAB 语法填空 Ｗｈｏ ／ｔｈａｔ ６２．ｕｓｉｎｇ ６３．ｔｏ ｏｐｅｒａｔｅ ｅｑｕｉｐｍｅｎｔ ６５．ｉｔｓ ６６．ｔｈｅ ６７． ｆｏｌｌｏｗｅｄｐｏｗｅｒｆｕｌ ６９． ｈａｓ ｂｅｃｏｍｅ ７０．Ｄｅａｔｈｓ 改错：１．ｔｈｅｍ－ ｉｔ ２．ａｒｅ 去掉 ３．ｃｏｕｎｔｒｙ 前加ｔｈｅ ｅｘｐｅｒｉｅｎｃｅｄ －ｅｘｐｅｒｉｅｎｃｅ ５．ｐａｒｔｓ －ｐａｒｔ６．ｉｓ－ａｒｅ ７．ｋｉｎｄｌｙ－ｋｉｎｄｎｅｓｓ ８．ａｔ－ｉｎ ９．ｂｕｔ－ ａｎｄ  １０．ｍｏｓｔ－ｍｏｒｅ书面表达范文 Dear fellow students,   With the development of technology, more and more students prefer to use electric products for taking notes and sending messages, rather than write on the paper. Thus, our handwriting is not as good as it was in the past.  Facing the problem, we should do as follows: First, we should use less electric products when learning. If so, we can have more opportunities to improve our handwriting. Besides，we must form the habit of practising calligraphy every day. What's more, it is better to write letters to our relatives and friends by hand instead of sending e-mails. Beautiful and neat handwriting, is of great benefit to us students.

I didn’t know what to say and just stared at the beautiful little cats. My father gently put the white one into my arms and said, “Happy Birthday!”
