Karie checked the words carefully on her spelling test. If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’s Spelling Challenge and a new dictionary. Plus, Ms. Green had promised to do a handstand if anyone got a perfect score.

Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled honesty, not honestly! She deleted the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper.

After the break, Ms. Green walked to the front of the room and cleared her throat. Then, as if she were an Olympic gymnast, Ms. Green’s feet flipped into the air. “Congratulations, Karie! You did it!” she announced while upside down. The whole class cheered! Ms. Green presented Karie with her prize. Karie smiled happily for her perfect in spelling.

After school, Karie rushed in to her home. “Everything’s PERFECT”she shouted, showing Mom her spelling test and prize. Karie picked up her cat. “Can you spell nicely, Casper? And quickly and honesly, and ...” Karie’s stomach tumbled(坍塌) to the floor. Honesly? H-O-N-E-S-L-Y!

After that, Karie stepped down the hall and fell onto her bed. How could she tell the class she hadn’t earned the prize after all? That Ms. Green did the handstand for nothing?

The next morning, Karie’s hands shook. She gave her teacher the spelling paper and the dictionary. “I can’t keep this. I misspelled honestly and you didn’t catch it.” “I see.” For a moment, Ms. Green picked up the pen.

Why do we celebrate festivals?

It is human nature to love celebrations. Some festivals have been celebrated for centuries or thousands of years. So, what are the reasons behind all these celebrations?

Festival is a Part of Culture

Some festivals are celebrated in memory of an important person or an important event, such as the Dragon Boat Festival in China and the Independence Day in the U.S. Some festivals are celebrated to welcome new life, such as the Spring Festival in China and Easter (复活节) in western countries. All these festivals are of great importance and have become necessary parts of the country’s culture.

Festival is a Part of Social and Economic Life

People also celebrate festivals for social and economic (经济) reasons. Festivals can bring freshness to life and they can also help us reduce boredom. The celebrations of a national festival are also good chances to make people feel closer and become more united. Besides, a country’s economy may get active because of the celebration of some festivals.

Festival Can be Scientific

Festivals can also be celebrated for scientific reasons. But how and why a celebration can be scientific? The reason is psychological (心理的). Have you heard about Placebo Effects (安慰剂效应)? Just imagine that there would be a celebration of an event, a patient may start feeling better because of the event. And these feelings can work as medicine and the patient may get well without any treatment. Sometimes a person gets well from a serious illness just by thinking he should remain alive so that his family members could celebrate festivals together. So festivals can sometimes work as a reason for living.

______________________

History repeats. But can we stop repeating the mistakes of history? Yes, we can do so by celebrating festivals. When we celebrate festivals, we also remember the historical events related to them. Science has affected the history of the world by creating new inventions and new technology to celebrate the festivals but it has also caused disasters (灾难) . The celebration of Diwali in India with fireworks is a festival but the atomic bombs during the war is a disaster. National festivals like Independence Day, remind us of the history of the nation and the efforts that the country had made for freedom.

A. a part of social life B. a part of economic life

D. Festival celebrations can sometimes benefit the economy of a country.

Great BDIA—Beijing Daxing International Airport

Have you ever taken a flight from Beijing Daxing International Airport (BDIA)? It drew attention not just for convenient and environmentally friendly design, but also for its many high-tech facilities(设施) and services.

The new airport, designed by the famous Iraqi-British architect  ( 建筑师) Zaha Hadid. The Daxing airport’s technology centers on passengers’ safety and convenience. The airport was designed in a special way that makes it look like a starfish. This kind of design also helps to shorten the walking distance for passengers.

The airport has also been designed to be environmentally friendly. It uses natural light during the day. Thanks in part to 8,000 rooftop windows, the sunlight can shine directly into the building.

There are less than 10,000 lights in the terminal. The brightness of the lights can be changed according to the temperature inside and how many people are in the building. The lights use 70 percent less power than the lights of the Beijing Capital International Airport, which uses more than 20,000 lights. This can save about 8,850 tons of coal and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions ( 排 放 ) by 22,000 tons a year, China Daily reported.

The airport has many new technologies that make it smarter and more efficient. It is the world’s first airport with a double-deck departure and arrival (双进双出) design for its building. “Passengers use much less time than they do in any other large airport t of the same size in the world,” Guo Yanchi, the leading engineer in charge of building, told China Daily.

According to the Civil Aviation Administration  of China, 86 percent of check-ins can be done through self-service check-in kiosks and 76 percent of luggage can be checked automatically (自动地) with the help of self-service bag-drop machines. Other technologies, such as a facial recognition system, allow passengers to have a quicker check-in and boarding process.

The airport will also use a robot-operated parking system. Drivers just need to park their cars in given areas. Robots will then carry them to an empty space. When collecting their cars, drivers simply need to scan (扫描) a parking ticket to find out where to collect their cars.

30. Why do we say BDIA’s design is friendly to our environment?

A. The building of the airport doesn't cost not too much.

B. It can save energy and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

C. The design helps to shorten the walking distance for passengers.

D. It was designed by legendary Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid.

31. The underlined word “efficient” in paragraph 5 probably means “ ________ ”

A. modern B. creative C. time-saving D. energy-saving

32. What do we know from the last two paragraphs?

A. Robots will help passengers board.

B. Passengers won’t need to check in in person.

C. Passengers will spend less time boarding at BDIA.

D. Machines will probably replace human workers at the airport.

33. The passage mainly tells us ________.

A. how the Iraqi-British architect designed BDIA

B. why BDIA is designed into the shape of a starfish

C. how high technology helps BDIA to be environmental friendly

D. that high technology has made BDIA the first class airport in the world

Global Warming

Satter lives in Bonnotola (BT) in southwestern Bangladesh (孟加拉国) . The small seaside village was once home to 2,000 people. Most of them were farmers, like Satter. But rising seas poisoned (毒化) the soil with salt water. Two major storms in the last two years destroyed the mud barriers (土坝) that protected the village from the sea. Today, only 480 people remain.

“The effects of global warming are destroying parts of Bangladesh,” said Mohammad who is the head of the research center PRD.

Salt in soil has increased by 26 percent over the past 35 years. In 1973, 833,000 hectares of land were poisoned by sea water. Areas of fresh water were also poisoned. This grew to 1.02 million hectares in 2000, and 1.056 million hectares in 2009, reports Bangladesh’s SRDI.

At BT village, the women walk up to 4 kilometers to a well to collect water for cooking and drinking every day. Wells in the area only have fresh water in the months after yearly heavy rains. In the summer, fresh water is difficult to find, said one of the women, Halder.

The villages lie in Bangladesh’s southwestern Shyamnagar area. The area is home to 400,000 people. Officials say the government does not have the money to build desalination factories. “The area needs maybe 500 desalination factories. But we’ve only got 50,” said Alamgir head of a local organization.

The United Nations made a report that warned global warming would get worse in the coming years even if humans immediately stopped producing carbon gas.

After the UN report, the question remains: Will world leaders choose to protect the environment?

No matter what the world leaders do, there are a lot of ways individual (个体) people can make choices to protect the environment. People can change what they eat or travel without getting on an airplane, for example.

Benjamin Clarysse is a bio-engineer who works with a number of environmental groups in northern Belgium. He warns, political leaders still need to promise changes. They cannot just depend on citizens doing their part. “They cannot just say that everyone should just do a little bit of the work,” Clarysse said. “Depending on just the goodwill of people won’t get you there.”

34. What destroyed the mud barriers from the Village BT?

_____________________________________

35. Why do women walk up to a well at BT village every day?

_____________________________________

36. How many desalination factories does Shyamnagar area have?

37. According to the passage, who are supposed to protect the environment?

Karie checked the words carefully on her spelling test. If she got 100 percent today, she’d win her class’s Spelling Challenge and a new dictionary. Plus, Ms. Green had promised to do a handstand if anyone got a perfect score.

Three more words to go. N-i-c-e-l-y. Q-u-i-c-k-l-y. H-o-n-e-s-t-y. Wait! She’d spelled honesty, not honestly! She deleted the t-y and wrote l-y before handing in her paper.

Why do we celebrate festivals?

It is human nature to love celebrations. Some festivals have been celebrated for centuries or thousands of years. So, what are the reasons behind all these celebrations?

Festival is a Part of Culture

Some festivals are celebrated in memory of an important person or an important event, such as the Dragon Boat Festival in China and the Independence Day in the U.S. Some festivals are celebrated to welcome new life, such as the Spring Festival in China and Easter (复活节) in western countries. All these festivals are of great importance and have become necessary parts of the country’s culture.

Festival is a Part of Social and Economic Life

People also celebrate festivals for social and economic (经济) reasons. Festivals can bring freshness to life and they can also help us reduce boredom. The celebrations of a national festival are also good chances to make people feel closer and become more united. Besides, a country’s economy may get active because of the celebration of some festivals.

Festival Can be Scientific

Festivals can also be celebrated for scientific reasons. But how and why a celebration can be scientific? The reason is psychological (心理的). Have you heard about Placebo Effects (安慰剂效应)? Just imagine that there would be a celebration of an event, a patient may start feeling better because of the event. And these feelings can work as medicine and the patient may get well without any treatment. Sometimes a person gets well from a serious illness just by thinking he should remain alive so that his family members could celebrate festivals together. So festivals can sometimes work as a reason for living.

______________________

History repeats. But can we stop repeating the mistakes of history? Yes, we can do so by celebrating festivals. When we celebrate festivals, we also remember the historical events related to them. Science has affected the history of the world by creating new inventions and new technology to celebrate the festivals but it has also caused disasters (灾难) . The celebration of Diwali in India with fireworks is a festival but the atomic bombs during the war is a disaster. National festivals like Independence Day, remind us of the history of the nation and the efforts that the country had made for freedom.

Great BDIA—Beijing Daxing International Airport

Have you ever taken a flight from Beijing Daxing International Airport (BDIA)? It drew attention not just for convenient and environmentally friendly design but also for its many high-tech facilities(设施) and services.

The new airport, designed by the famous Iraqi-British architect  ( 建筑师) Zaha Hadid. The Daxing airport’s technology centers on passengers’ safety and convenience. The airport was designed in a special way that makes it look like a starfish. This kind of design also helps to shorten the walking distance for passengers.

The airport has also been designed to be environmentally friendly. It uses natural light during the day. Thanks in part to 8,000 rooftop windows, the sunlight can shine directly into the building.

There are less than 10,000 lights in the terminal. The brightness of the lights can be changed according to the temperature inside and how many people are in the building. The lights use 70 percent less power than the lights of the Beijing Capital International Airport, which uses more than 20,000 lights. This can save about 8,850 tons of coal and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions ( 排 放 ) by 22,000 tons a year, China Daily reported.

The airport has many new technologies that make it smarter and more efficient. It is the world’s first airport with a double-deck departure and arrival (双进双出) design for its building. “Passengers use much less time than they do in any other large airport t of the same size in the world,” Guo Yanchi, the leading engineer in charge of building, told China Daily.

According to the Civil Aviation Administration  of China, 86 percent of check-ins can be done through self-service check-in kiosks and 76 percent of luggage can be checked automatically (自动地) with the help of self-service bag-drop machines. Other technologies, such as a facial recognition system, allow passengers to have a quicker check-in and boarding process.

The airport will also use a robot-operated parking system. Drivers just need to park their cars in given areas. Robots will then carry them to an empty space. When collecting their cars, drivers simply need to scan (扫描) a parking ticket to find out where to collect their cars.

30. Why do we say BDIA’s design is friendly to our environment?

A. The building of the airport doesn't cost not too much.

B. It can save energy and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

C. The design helps to shorten the walking distance for passengers.

D. It was designed by legendary Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid.

31. The underlined word “efficient” in paragraph 5 probably means “ ________ ”

A. modern B. creative C. time-saving D. energy-saving

32. What do we know from the last two paragraphs?

A. Robots will help passengers board.

B. Passengers won’t need to check in in person.

C. Passengers will spend less time boarding at BDIA.

D. Machines will probably replace human workers at the airport.

33. The passage mainly tells us ________.

A. how the Iraqi-British architect designed BDIA

B. why BDIA is designed into the shape of a starfish

C. how high technology helps BDIA to be environmental friendly

D. that high technology has made BDIA the first class airport in the world

Global Warming

Satter lives in Bonnotola (BT) in southwestern Bangladesh (孟加拉国) . The small seaside village was once home to 2,000 people. Most of them were farmers, like Satter. But rising seas poisoned (毒化) the soil with salt water. Two major storms in the last two years destroyed the mud barriers (土坝) that protected the village from the sea. Today, only 480 people remain.

“The effects of global warming are destroying parts of Bangladesh,” said Mohammad who is the head of the research center PRD.

Salt in soil has increased by 26 percent over the past 35 years. In 1973, 833,000 hectares of land were poisoned by sea water. Areas of fresh water were also poisoned. This grew to 1.02 million hectares in 2000, and 1.056 million hectares in 2009, reports Bangladesh’s SRDI.

At BT village, the women walk up to 4 kilometers to a well to collect water for cooking and drinking every day. Wells in the area only have fresh water in the months after yearly heavy rains. In the summer, fresh water is difficult to find, said one of the women, Halder.

The villages lie in Bangladesh’s southwestern Shyamnagar area. The area is home to 400,000 people. Officials say the government does not have the money to build desalination factories. “The area needs maybe 500 desalination factories. But we’ve only got 50,” said Alamgir head of a local organization.

The United Nations made a report that warned global warming would get worse in the coming years even if humans immediately stopped producing carbon gas.

After the UN report, the question remains: Will world leaders choose to protect the environment?

No matter what the world leaders do, there are a lot of ways individual (个体) people can make choices to protect the environment. People can change what they eat or travel without getting on an airplane, for example.

Benjamin Clarysse is a bio-engineer who works with a number of environmental groups in northern Belgium. He warns, political leaders still need to promise changes. They cannot just depend on citizens doing their part. “They cannot just say that everyone should just do a little bit of the work,” Clarysse said. “Depending on just the goodwill of people won’t get you there.”
