During this season, many countries have their own festivals to celebrate a harvest. Here’s a look at some of them. ChinaIn 2018, the Farmers’ Harvest Festival was launched in China. It’s held on the day of the autumn equinox (秋分). Every year, a range of events are organized nationwide especially for farmers and rural affairs’ workers to celebrate the harvest festival. Take this year’s festival for example. In Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, farmers brought 100 seed species to the main site of the ceremony in Hanhu district and placed them in a wall to mark the achievements of the seed industry. In Heilongjiang Province, the festival was combined with local traditions of the Daur people and the locals danced around bonfires (篝火).  CanadaIn Canada, people celebrate their harvest on Thanksgiving Day. The tradition dates back to the 16th century, when the English explorer Martin Frobisher (1535-1594) came upon the land which is now Canada while searching for the “New World”. As he arrived in Canada, he celebrated surviving the long journey.Today, it has become a recognized holiday in the country that falls on the second Monday in October. Its date has moved around several times, but in 1957, the government decided to set the date in line with (与…一致) the completion of the Canadian harvest.African countriesIn Ghana and Nigeria, people have the Yam (山药) Festival to celebrate the most common food in many African countries. The Yam Festival is usually held at the beginning of August at the end of the rainy season. People celebrate the harvest with days of ceremonies and offerings of yams to their ancestors and to the gods. 21. Why were 100 seed species placed in a wall?A. To pray for a good future.B. To follow the local traditions.C. To illustrate the role of farmers.D. To show the achievements in the seed industry. 22. Why did Martin Frobisher go to Canada?A. To explore the “New World”.C. To taste the turkey of Canada.B. To hold a harvest celebration. D. To experience the pleasure of journey.23. What is the purpose of observing the Yam Festival?A. To create new ceremonies.C. To celebrate the common food.B. To remember their ancestors. D. To show respect for the gods.  BOne concern I keep hearing from potential gym goers is the age barrier (障碍). Many men and women thinking about a personal fitness plan sometimes worry that “ I’m too old to start exercising,” or “going to the gym is something for younger people, not me”. This brings up a big question for potential gym-goers: How old is too old? Is there an age requirement at the front door that keeps everyone over the age of 39 out?    A friend of mine was talking about her father who experienced a major lifestyle change late in life, and it reminds me of just how little age really matters when we want to start an active lifestyle. We’ll call her father Rob.    Rob lived an active lifestyle in his earlier years. Even in his mid-70s, Rob was still walking the golf course three to five times a week, actively playing tennis, and traveling abroad whenever he had the chance.    During his travels, Rob had an accident, falling down a set of stone stairs in Istanbul and tearing up both of his knees. He had an emergency surgery and experienced months of physical therapy (疗法), but was told that as a man heading into his 80s, he would never be able to walk unassisted again. However, after months of relying on others for transportation, Rob decided to do something about his condition, old age or not.    Rob started going to the gym, worked with a personal trainer, and set a realistic goal for his future: to walk around the block without a walking stick. For someone who could walk 18 holes in an afternoon, a block might seem insignificant, but Rob knew he had to start somewhere. He began leg exercises, started a healthy diet, and kept at his scheduled workouts.    It paid off. Today, Rob is walking around the neighborhood unassisted, playing golf, and traveling up and down the coast. Rob still has a lot of progress in his future, but he is already miles ahead of where he started. 24. What does the underlined word “potential” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Passive.B. Serious.C. PossibleD. Energetic25. What did Rob do to make a full recovery?A. He ate more food than before.C. He turned to a gym coach for help.B. He often walked the golf course.D. He set a long-term goal for training.26. Which of the following words can best describe Rob?A. Helpful and grateful.C. Capable and talented.B. Tough and determined.D. Creative and independent.27. What does the author intend to tell us in the text?A. No pains, no gains.C. Never give up hope.B. Age is not a barrier.D. Well begun is half done CIt has been almost six and a half years since the American music group Pearl Jam published its tenth album. That changed Friday when the band dropped its eleventh collection, Gigaton. Critics (批评家) have noted that this new album includes hard rock. Entertainments Weekly called the music “a gathering storm of guitars”. In other words, there is some loud and wild music on Gigaton. But most reviewers agree that Pearl Jam continues to experiment with less traditional rock and roll sound on the album.But back to the name of the album—Gigaton can also mean the weight mass equal to 1 billion tons. The word is most often used these days in stories related to climate science and environmental damage. In fact, former U. S. President Obama famously defined the word during a speech about climate change in Alaska and the Arctic. When discussing the huge yearly loss of ice from Alaska’s glaciers, he compared the amount to the size of the national Mall in Washington, as if it were a solid (固体的) block that stood almost 700 meters tall.And climate change issues are at the heart of Pearl Jam’s Gigaton. The album picture shows icefalls in Svalbard, Norway. Svalbard is one of the northernmost places where humans live in the world. Some climate scientists say it is warming faster than any other place. Pearl Jam has spent most of its 30-year existence on environmental causes. The band and its members have won honors for raising money, climate change educational efforts and more. They also put money into environmental health projects to reduce the group’s carbon footprint.Pearl Jam was officially introduced into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017. The lead singer Vedder’s opening comments were about the environment. “So, climate change is real,” he said. “And we...cannot...cannot be the generation that history will look back upon and wonder why they didn’t do anything possible to solve the biggest danger in our time.” 28. What can we know about the new album Gigaton?A. It includes more loud music. C. It is Pearl Jam’s tenth album.B. It receives fans’ high praise.D. It has new musical elements (要素).29. Why are Obama’s words mentioned?A. To give a definition of Gigaton.B. To call on people to focus on glaciers.C. To show the influence of climate change.D. To explain the character of Alaska’s glaciers.30. What do the members of Pearl Jam always try to do?A. Fund healthcare projects.C. Fight against climate change.B. Build houses in Svalbard.D. Team climate scientists up.31. What can be the best title of the text?A. Pearl Jam’s New Album Makes a HitB. Gigaton: a Gathering Storm of GuitarsC. Pearl Jam: an Famous Band in the WorldD. A New Album Rocks Hard on Climate ChangeDAn important lesson in the moral education of children could be as close as the book in their hands. Stories can play a role in changing the importance of particular moral values in young audiences, according to the result of a new study.“ Media can greatly influence separate moral values and get kids to place more or less importance on those values depending on what is uniquely stressed in that content,” says Lindsay Hahn, PhD, a professor in the University at Buffalo College of Arts and Sciences. Hahn is first author of the new study, which adds an important part to a body of literature that explores how media content affects children. While many previous studies have focused on broad conceptualisations (概念化), like positive or negative effects of specific content, Hahn’s study looks at how reading of content featuring specific moral values might influence the weight kids place on those values.Do children reading about particular moral characteristics absorb those qualities as building blocks for their own morality? The findings suggest so, and further support how this indirect approach to socializing children’s morality can add to the direct teaching of moral principles kids might receive through formal instruction.For the study, Hahn and her colleagues took the main character from a teenager story and edited the content to reflect in each version (版本) the study’s focus on one of four moral values. A fifth version was changed in a way that featured an amoral main character. The stories were shared with about 200 participants between the ages of 10 and 14. The team then measured the importance kids place on moral values to find out how participants might be influenced by specific stories.“Measuring these effects can be difficult,” says Hahn. “That’s why one purpose of this research was to develop a measure of moral values for kids”. 32. What can be inferred from the results of the study?A. Good virtues can carry children through hard times.B. Good morals in stories help shape children’s values.C. Teaching moral principles directly to kids seems useless.D. Reading stories is a better approach than formal instructions.33. What does the author try to tell us in paragraph 3?A. The response of the public to Hahn’s study.B. The difference between Hahn’s study and previous studies.C. The big contribution of Hahn’s study to children’s literature.D. The branches of the research on media influences on children.34. What did Hahn’s team do for the study?A. They adapted a character and created five stories.B. They tested different moral principles in children.C. They created a chain story out of an old character.D. They illustrated the study for younger participants.35. Where does this passage probably come from?A. A textbook.C. A medical report.B. A social report.D. An education magazine. 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。Before movies had voices, they had music. From silent films to today’s computer-generated ones, film composers use the score to help tell the story.Music Manipulates (影响) EmotionsThe most obvious role music plays in movies is in manipulating the audience’s emotions and bringing them the desired feelings.     36     Philip Ball, author of The Music Instinct, says our brain is born to respond in emotional ways. He says, “Our response to certain kinds of noise is something so strong in us that we can’t switch it off. Film composers know that and use it to shortcut the logical part of our brain and get straight to the emotional centers.”Music Gets Us in the MoodThe first bars of music in a movie usually establish its style. The low sound of an organ communicates a different atmosphere than light electronica playing a quick tune.     37     The music telegraphs whether something is serious, adventurous, joyful or amusing. Music Introduces People, Places and ThingsMusic helps viewers understand the story, a trick filmmakers picked up from operas, etc.     38     A recent example of this can be found in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, in which, quick music is played for the Hobbits, while the fellowship gets romantically heroic music.     39    Movies rely on music to help establish time period, location, cultural heritage or social standing. Using Baroque-style music sets a scene in the 18th century. Back to the Future used Huey Lewis’ The Power of Love for its “present day” scenes and such songs as Earth Angel and Johnny B. Goode for its scenes in the past.     40     For example, music that audience thinks to be Russian can set something in Moscow even if the music is actually American in origin.A. Music places us in time and space.B. Music doesn’t have to be real for this to be effective.C. Music enables people to forget about time and space.D. Composers use music to predict and connect the story.E. Film composers create theme music for characters, situations or places.F. The selection of certain sounds creates feelings of happiness, fear or even panic.G. Film composers carefully choose instruments and sounds to set a mood for each scene. 第三部分：语言运用（共三节，满分40分）第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。One good turn deserves another.A man was hired to paint a boat.
