You’ll mostly see Holi Festival across India and Nepal, but also in other areas with large Hindu populations. It starts by lighting a night-time bonfire (篝火)where people sing and dance. People throw coloured water and powder (粉末) to their friends and families to show love and respect.
Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Scotland
One of the greatest celebrations of arts and culture in the world, the festival runs for three weeks every August throughout the Scottish capital. Artists and performers take to hundreds of stages all over the city to present shows for every taste. The Fringe is run by the Edinburgh Fringe Festival Society to support and encourage the Scottish arts.
Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland
There are plenty of music festivals in Europe, but Montreux Jazz Festival held in October near the Lake Geneva is truly one of a kind and is the second-largest jazz festival in the world. It’s not just jazz, though. You’ll find broad-ranging concerts from pop to rock and blues, and best of all, most of the performances are free.

A mother and daughter in England have been putting smiles on strangers’ faces with random (随机的) acts of kindness.Every week, Sophie-Louise Corrigan allows her 5-year-old daughter Amina to choose random strangers to put a smile on their faces.
When Corrigan is with her daughter Amina, Corrigan will let the little girl go to whoever she is drawn. Later, Corrigan will ask why Amina opts for them. Her answer is always because she likes something about them, either their tops or their hair. Amina always takes her pick.
It’s a tradition that started with Corrigan’s own mother. “Mum and I used to do it. Whenever we had some money left from the weekly shop or if we really wanted to do it that week, we took out something from the shop to make sure we had the money. We would always do it,” said Corrigan.
“Now, we do it everywhere, even when we went on holiday to another city, we did a random act of kindness there. We find flowers and chocolates whether it be in Ormskirk, Liver-pool or Wirral. Wherever we go, we do it,” said Corrigan.
“The reaction is amazing and is one of the reasons why we carry on. A number of people who spoke to us didn’t even know what to say. They were speechless. There were a lot of people who gave Amina a hug after it. She loves such a hug. There were others who had tears welling up. They said that they had such a terrible week either with bills or a family death. Amina will always say to me that although the person was crying, it was happy tears. She is in the process of understanding how acts of kindness work and how feelings work.”
4 What does Corrigan ask Amina to do every week
A. Stay with her mother. B. Be kind to strangers.
C. Make friends with others. D. Buy something from shops.
5. What does the underlined phrase “opts for” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Respects. B. Enables. C. Chooses. D. Avoids.
6. What does Corrigan mean in the last paragraph
A. People need happiness.
B. Few people live a hard life.
C. Some people like being silent.
D. Most people are friendly to others.
7. What can we conclude from the text
A. Only good people have friends.
B. Where there is life, there is hope.
C. Kindness is like a ray of sunshine.
D. A kind man can gain more from others.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是记叙文。英国的一对母女一直在用她们的善举让陌生人的脸上绽放笑容。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A mother and daughter in England have been putting smiles on strangers’ faces with random (随机的) acts of kindness.Every week, Sophie-Louise Corrigan allows her 5-year-old daughter Amina to choose random strangers to put a smile on their faces.(英国的一对母女用随意的善意举动让陌生人脸上露出笑容。每周，Sophie-Louise Corrigan都会让她5岁的女儿Amina随机选择陌生人，让他们脸上挂着微笑)”可知，Corrigan让Amina每周随机选择陌生人，并用善举让他们的脸上绽放笑容，即要善待陌生人。故选B。
5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段第一句“When Corrigan is with her daughter Amina, Corrigan will let the little girl go to whoever she is drawn. (当Corrigan和她的女儿Amina在一起时，Corrigan会让小女孩去任何她被吸引的地方)”以及划线单词下一句“Her answer is always because she likes something about them, either their tops or their hair. Amina always takes her pick. (她的回答总是因为她喜欢他们的一些东西，无论是上衣还是头发。Amina总是选她挑的)”可知，Amina总是自己选择。由此可以推出划线部分意为“选择”。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Amina will always say to me that although the person was crying, it was happy tears. She is in the process of understanding how acts of kindness work and how feelings work. (Amina会一直对我说，虽然那个人在哭，但那是幸福的眼泪。她正在了解善举的作用和情感的作用)”可知，Corrigan让Amina做善事来帮助人们感到快乐， Corrigan让Amina懂得人们需要快乐。因此Corrigan在最后一段中的意思是人们需要幸福。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述英国的一对母女一直在用她们的善举让陌生人的脸上绽放笑容。尤其文章最后一段讲到“Amina will always say to me that although the person was crying, it was happy tears. She is in the process of understanding how acts of kindness work and how feelings work. (Amina会一直对我说，虽然那个人在哭，但那是幸福的眼泪。她正在了解善举的作用和情感的作用)”推知，从本文我们可以得出的结论是：善良就如一缕阳光，温暖着别人。故选C。
C
In order to live in the wild, tigers need water to drink, animals to hunt, and plants in which to hide. As the mountains, jungles, forests, and long grasses that have long been home to tigers disappear, so do tigers. Agricultural expansion, new roads, and industrial expansion push tigers into smaller and smaller areas of land. Without wilderness, the wild tiger will not survive.
Asia’s explosive population growth demands that more and more land be changed to agriculture. Indonesia, for example, has the same population as the United States, but only ten per cent of the land area. Almost all of Indonesia’s lowland forest has been cleared for rice planting.
In India, where there are about 60 per cent of the world’s wild tigers, the human population has grown by 50 per cent in the past 20 years. Over the past 40 years, China’s population, the largest in the world, has more than doubled and 99 per cent of China’s original forest habitat has been destroyed.
Tigers compete with humans and industry for land. Local people hunt the same prey (猎物) as tigers do, making tigers to turn to domestic animals and, even humans. Threatened villagers often poison, or shoot the encroaching (侵犯) tigers. In addition to food, local communities also need to use the surrounding areas of forest for livestock grazing (放牧) and wood for fuel.
To protect tigers from hunting and the rapidly increasing loss of land, wildlife conservationists (自然资源保护者) have worked with governments to establish wildlife reserves. Reserves are protected areas ranging in size from China’s Xioaling at 21 km2 to Indonesia’s Kerinci Seblat at 14,846 km2.
8. Why does the author mention Indonesia
A. To tell us Indonesia has a large population.
B. To show its rapid development of agriculture.
C. To show Indonesia’s serious forest destruction.
D. To tell us its rice planting is of great importance.
9. Where do most of the world’s wild tigers live
A. In the USA. B. In Indonesia.
C. In China. D. In India.
10. What made tigers kill domestic animals
A. Finding less to eat. B. Cutting down wood.
C. Industry’s development. D. Human’s illegal hunting.
11. What’s the best title for the text
A. Tiger Habitat Loss B. Humans and Tigers
C. Importance of Reserves D. Importance of Tiger Protection
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍人类活动导致老虎的栖息地不断减少。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Asia’s explosive population growth demands that more and more land be changed to agriculture. Indonesia, for example, has the same population as the United States, but only ten per cent of the land area. Almost all of Indonesia’s lowland forest has been cleared for rice planting.”（亚洲爆炸性的人口增长要求越来越多的土地改作农业。例如，印度尼西亚的人口与美国相同，但仅占国土面积的10%。印尼几乎所有的低地森林都已被开垦用于种植水稻）可推知，作者提到印度尼西亚的目的是为了说明印度尼西亚严重的森林破坏。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In India, where there are about 60 per cent of the world’s wild tigers, the human population has grown by 50 per cent in the past 20 years.”（印度拥有世界上60%野生老虎，而在过去20年里，印度的老虎数量增长了50%。）可知，世界上大多数野生老虎生活在印度。故选D项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Tigers compete with humans and industry for land. Local people hunt the same prey as tigers do, making tigers to turn to domestic animals and, even humans.”（老虎与人类和工业争夺土地。当地人猎捕老虎的食物，这使得老虎转向家畜，甚至人类）可知，能找到的吃的东西越来越少导致老虎杀死家畜。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“As the mountains, jungles, forests, and long grasses that have long been home to tigers disappear, so do tigers. Agricultural expansion, new roads, and industrial expansion push tigers into smaller and smaller areas of land.(随着长期以来老虎栖息的山脉、丛林、森林和长草的消失，老虎也消失了。农业扩张、新道路和工业扩张将老虎推向越来越小的土地)”并结合下文可知，问斩主要介绍人类活动导致老虎的栖息地不断减少。因此A项“老虎栖息地的减少”能够概括本文中心。故选A项。
D
Lithium (锂) is called “white gold” for good reason. The metal’s value has been growing rapidly over the last several years, mainly because it is an essential material of lithium-ion batteries, which play an important part in several key sustainable technologies, e. g. electric cars.
As ocean waves, wind and solar power have grown into major players in the energy industry, lithium has also become key to building a future free of petrol. But getting lithium comes at a huge cost. As with most metals, its mining is damaging. It often works like this: Briny water, containing lithium and other metals, is pumped to the surface from underground. Then it sits in pools to allow the water to evaporate, leaving the rest behind as poisonous matter. Workers use chemical reactions to remove the lithium from that, making it into powder which is then packaged and shipped to the buyers around the world. Any accident that releases mine matter into surrounding communities or the groundwater supply could have damaging long-term impacts.
Indigenous (原住民) communities often bear the result of the damage, and political leaders have paid little attention to their concerns. In Arizona, for example, an expanding lithium mine is threatening the Hualapai Tribe’s historical sites. And for politicians who have promised to work with native peoples to deal with it, mining lithium and other precious metals is putting them into a dilemma: How do you ensure the availability of materials which are essential to the future while protecting indigenous people’ rights
Mining of the metal is expected to increase greatly in coming years. Over time, that will make electric cars inexpensive and, therefore, more popular.
As environmentally conscious consumers buy electric cars in ever-greater numbers, it’s important to be aware of the dirty process that powers those clean air vehicles.
12. What do we know about Lithium in paragraph 1 and paragraph 2
A. It’s a kind of battery. B. It will be widely used in the future.
C. Only Lithium can replace fossil fuels. D. It is the same with wind and solar power.
13. What can be inferred from the mining process (开采过程)
A. It’s easily done. B. It does harm to the environment.
C. It costs much money. D. The workers benefit a lot from it.
14. What aspect of Lithium mining concerns the politicians
A. The shortage of Lithium.
B. The prices of electric cars.
C. Their people will no longer support them.
D. The balance between it and environment protection.
15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to Lithium mining
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Worried. D. Optimistic.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了介绍锂在能源行业的重要性以及锂的开采对环境造成的危害。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As ocean waves, wind and solar power have grown into major players in the energy industry. lithium has also become key to building a future free of petrol. (随着海浪、风能和太阳能已成长为能源行业的主要参与者。锂也已成为建设无汽油未来的关键。)”可知，锂也成为构建无化石燃料未来的关键，即它在未来会被大量使用。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“As with most metals, its mining is damaging. It often works like this: Briny water, containing lithium and other metals, is pumped to the surface from underground. Then it sits in pools to allow the water to evaporate, leaving the rest behind as poisonous matter. Workers use chemical reactions to remove the lithium from that, making it into powder which is then packaged and shipped to the buyers around the world. Any accident that releases mine matter into surrounding communities or the groundwater supply could have damaging long-term impacts.(与大多数金属一样，它的开采具有破坏性。它通常是这样工作的:含有锂和其他金属的盐水从地下泵到地表。然后，它被放置在水池中，让水蒸发，剩下的就成了有毒物质。工人们利用化学反应来去除其中的锂，将其制成粉末，然后包装并运往世界各地的买家。任何泄漏矿井物质到周围社区或地下水供应的事故都可能产生破坏性的长期影响)”以及第三段“In Arizona, for example, an expanding lithium mine is threatening the Hualapai Tribe’s historical sites.(例如，在亚利桑那州，一个不断扩大的锂矿正在威胁着瓦拉派部落的历史遗址)”可推知，锂的开采过程对环境有害。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“And for politicians who have promised to work with native peoples to deal with it, mining lithium and other precious metals is putting them into a dilemma: How do you ensure the availability of materials which are essential to the future while protecting indigenous people’ rights (对于那些承诺与土著人民合作解决这一问题的政客来说，开采锂和其他贵金属让他们陷入了两难境地：你如何在保护土著人民权利的同时，确保对未来至关重要的材料的供应？)”可知，锂矿开采和环境保护之间的平衡与政客有关。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段和第三段介绍锂矿开采对环境和当地人造成的危害可推知，作者对锂矿开采是担忧态度。故选C。

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their moth- er was very sick and their father was struggling to finda job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for sever al months, the landlord was breathing down their necks.
One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe re pairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city.When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right be hind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided(碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.
Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead.

Filled with delight, Ali walked home quickly.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this point, he jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. He dashed across the finish line and won the fourth prize. Thinking he would let her sister down, Ali couldn’t help sobbing. Just then he suddenly heard the announcement from the broadcast that he won the third prize as the runner who collided with Ali was disqualified for breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony, Ali felt overjoyed and relieved as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.
Filled with delight, Ali walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Ali found Zahra was waiting outside. Nervous and anxious, Zahra wondered whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting. “Zahra, see what I have got for you.” Ali said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Zahra saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Ali. “Thank you!Ali.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.

Top Four Festivals in the World
Saint Patrick’s Day, Ireland

Holi Festival, India
It’s also called the “festival of love” as on the full-moon day in March people get together, forgetting all types of bad feeling towards each other. You’ll mostly see Holi Festival across India and Nepal, but also in other areas with large Hindu populations. It starts by lighting a night-time bonfire (篝火)where people sing and dance. People throw coloured water and powder (粉末) to their friends and families to show love and respect.
Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Scotland
One of the greatest celebrations of arts and culture in the world, the festival runs for three weeks every August throughout the Scottish capital. Artists and performers take to hundreds of stages all over the city to present shows for every taste. The Fringe is run by the Edinburgh Fringe Festival Society to support and encourage the Scottish arts.
Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland
There are plenty of music festivals in Europe, but Montreux Jazz Festival held in October near the Lake Geneva is truly one of a kind and is the second-largest jazz festival in the world. It’s not just jazz, though. You’ll find broad-ranging concerts from pop to rock and blues, and best of all, most of the performances are free.

A mother and daughter in England have been putting smiles on strangers’ faces with random (随机的) acts of kindness.Every week, Sophie-Louise Corrigan allows her 5-year-old daughter Amina to choose random strangers to put a smile on their faces.
When Corrigan is with her daughter Amina, Corrigan will let the little girl go to whoever she is drawn. Later, Corrigan will ask why Amina opts for them. Her answer is always because she likes something about them, either their tops or their hair. Amina always takes her pick.
It’s a tradition that started with Corrigan’s own mother. “Mum and I used to do it. Whenever we had some money left from the weekly shop or if we really wanted to do it that week, we took out something from the shop to make sure we had the money. We would always do it,” said Corrigan.
“Now, we do it everywhere, even when we went on holiday to another city, we did a random act of kindness there. We find flowers and chocolates whether it be in Ormskirk, Liver-pool or Wirral. Wherever we go, we do it,” said Corrigan.
“The reaction is amazing and is one of the reasons why we carry on. A number of people who spoke to us didn’t even know what to say. They were speechless. There were a lot of people who gave Amina a hug after it. She loves such a hug. There were others who had tears welling up. They said that they had such a terrible week either with bills or a family death. Amina will always say to me that although the person was crying, it was happy tears. She is in the process of understanding how acts of kindness work and how feelings work.”
4. What does Corrigan ask Amina to do every week
A. Stay with her mother. B. Be kind to strangers.
C. Make friends with others. D. Buy something from shops.
5. What does the underlined phrase “opts for” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Respects. B. Enables. C. Chooses. D. Avoids.
6. What does Corrigan mean in the last paragraph
A. People need happiness.
B. Few people live a hard life.
C. Some people like being silent.
D. Most people are friendly to others.
7. What can we conclude from the text
A. Only good people have friends.
B. Where there is life, there is hope.
C. Kindness is like a ray of sunshine.
D A kind man can gain more from others.
C
In order to live in the wild, tigers need water to drink, animals to hunt, and plants in which to hide. As the mountains, jungles, forests, and long grasses that have long been home to tigers disappear, so do tigers. Agricultural expansion, new roads, and industrial expansion push tigers into smaller and smaller areas of land. Without wilderness, the wild tiger will not survive.
Asia’s explosive population growth demands that more and more land be changed to agriculture. Indonesia, for example, has the same population as the United States, but only ten per cent of the land area. Almost all of Indonesia’s lowland forest has been cleared for rice planting.
In India, where there are about 60 per cent of the world’s wild tigers, the human population has grown by 50 per cent in the past 20 years. Over the past 40 years, China’s population, the largest in the world, has more than doubled and 99 per cent of China’s original forest habitat has been destroyed.
Tigers compete with humans and industry for land. Local people hunt the same prey (猎物) as tigers do, making tigers to turn to domestic animals and, even humans. Threatened villagers often poison, or shoot the encroaching (侵犯) tigers. In addition to food, local communities also need to use the surrounding areas of forest for livestock grazing (放牧) and wood for fuel.
To protect tigers from hunting and the rapidly increasing loss of land, wildlife conservationists (自然资源保护者) have worked with governments to establish wildlife reserves. Reserves are protected areas ranging in size from China’s Xioaling at 21 km2 to Indonesia’s Kerinci Seblat at 14,846 km2.
8. Why does the author mention Indonesia
A. To tell us Indonesia has a large population.
B. To show its rapid development of agriculture.
C. To show Indonesia’s serious forest destruction.
D. To tell us its rice planting is of great importance.
9. Where do most of the world’s wild tigers live
A. In the USA. B. In Indonesia.
C. In China. D. In India.
10. What made tigers kill domestic animals
A. Finding less to eat. B. Cutting down wood.
C. Industry’s development. D. Human’s illegal hunting.
11. What’s the best title for the text
A. Tiger Habitat Loss B. Humans and Tigers
C. Importance of Reserves D. Importance of Tiger Protection
D
Lithium (锂) is called “white gold” for good reason. The metal’s value has been growing rapidly over the last several years, mainly because it is an essential material of lithium-ion batteries, which play an important part in several key sustainable technologies, e. g. electric cars.
As ocean waves wind and solar power have grown into major players in the energy industry, lithium has also become key to building a future free of petrol. But getting lithium comes at a huge cost. As with most metals, its mining is damaging. It often works like this: Briny water, containing lithium and other metals, is pumped to the surface from underground. Then it sits in pools to allow the water to evaporate, leaving the rest behind as poisonous matter. Workers use chemical reactions to remove the lithium from that, making it into powder which is then packaged and shipped to the buyers around the world. Any accident that releases mine matter into surrounding communities or the groundwater supply could have damaging long-term impacts.
Indigenous (原住民) communities often bear the result of the damage, and political leaders have paid little attention to their concerns. In Arizona, for example, an expanding lithium mine is threatening the Hualapai Tribe’s historical sites. And for politicians who have promised to work with native peoples to deal with it, mining lithium and other precious metals is putting them into a dilemma: How do you ensure the availability of materials which are essential to the future while protecting indigenous people’ rights
Mining of the metal is expected to increase greatly in coming years. Over time, that will make electric cars inexpensive and, therefore, more popular.
As environmentally conscious consumers buy electric cars in ever-greater numbers, it’s important to be aware of the dirty process that powers those clean air vehicles.
12. What do we know about Lithium in paragraph 1 and paragraph 2
A. It’s a kind of battery. B. It will be widely used in the future.
C. Only Lithium can replace fossil fuels. D. It is the same with wind and solar power.
13. What can be inferred from the mining process (开采过程)
A. It’s easily done. B. It does harm to the environment.
C. It costs much money. D. The workers benefit a lot from it.
14. What aspect of Lithium mining concerns the politicians
A. The shortage of Lithium.
B. The prices of electric cars.
C. Their people will no longer support them.
D. The balance between it and environment protection.
15. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to Lithium mining
A. Supportive. B. Indifferent. C. Worried. D. Optimistic.

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra, lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their moth- er was very sick and their father was struggling to finda job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for sever al months, the landlord was breathing down their necks.
One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe re pairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city.When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right be hind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided(碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.
Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead.
