Carnival celebrations are believed to have roots in the festival of Saturnalia, which, adapted to Christianity, became a farewell to bad things in a season of religious discipline to regret and prepare for Christ’s death and coming back to life.‎ Modern Brazilian Carnival dates back to Rio de Janeiro in 1641. It originally copied the European form of the festival, later taking in elements of Native American and African cultures.‎ In the late 19th century, the strings (弦乐器) were introduced in Rio de Janeiro. These were pageant (游行) groups that paraded through city streets performing on instruments and dancing. Today they are known as blocks, consisting of a group of people who dress in costumes or special T-shirts with themes or logos. Blocks are generally connected with particular neighborhoods; they include both a music group and a lot of revelers (狂欢者).‎ Block parades have become an expressive feature of Rio’s Carnival. Today, they number more than 100 and the groups increase each year. Blocks can be ‎ formed by small or large groups of revelers with a clear title. Before the show, they gather in a square, then parade in sections of the city, often near the beach.‎ Carnival time in Rio is very interesting, but is also the most expensive time to visit Rio. Hotel rooms and other lodgings (住宿) can be up to four times more expensive than the regular rates. There are big crowds at some locations and life is far from ordinary in many parts of town.‎ ‎21．What can we infer from the first paragraph?‎ A.The Carnival of Brazil is often held after Easter.‎ B. The Carnival of Brazil is a festival to regret and begin a new life.‎ C. The Carnival of Brazil comes from Easter and Saturnalia.‎ D.The Carnival of Brazil is mainly to celebrate the birth of Christ.‎ ‎22．How long is the history of the people’s celebrating modern Brazilian Carnival?‎ A.About 100 years.‎ B.Less than two centuries.‎ C.About 370 years.‎ D.Over five centuries.‎ ‎23．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the blocks in Rio de Janeiro?‎ A.They don't parade before the show.‎ B.They always parade through countryside villages singing and dancing.‎ C.There are no more than 50 blocks today.‎ D.They are always wearing costumes or special T-shirts with themes or logos.‎ ‎24．What is the passage mainly about?‎ A.The carnival in Rio de Janeiro.‎ B.How the carnival was introduced in Brazil.‎ C.The famous carnivals in the world.‎ D.The happy life of the people in Rio de Janeiro.‎ B Football, to me, is more than just a game. I have probably learned more valuable lessons from it than from school. ‎ When I joined the team freshman year, I didn’t realize what I was getting into. Even though I had been playing since fourth grade and knew it was hard work, nothing would prepare me for the effort I would put into football that year. We worked all summer in the weight room and ran on the track to get in physical and mental shape before the season. ‎ See, football is more of a mental sport than anything else, so running on the track wasn’t only about getting in shape. We would push our minds by running as hard as we could even if we were going to pass out. At the beginning, I was immature(幼稚的)and only thought of myself, sometimes even gave up when I was tired or hurt. Then after the third game I had a season-ending injury. Imagine working all summer and then only being able to play three games! I needed surgery on my arm and at least five months to recover. ‎ Needless to say, I missed the rest of the season, but this actually helped me realize that since you never know when your last play will be, you should try your hardest in football and life. ‎ After freshman year I decided that I would always give my best effort. Playing varsity(大学的)football has taught me so much more than just what my assignments are on a particular play or how to block. I have learned to think about others first, and realized how important working hard is. Being with all my friends, even sweating and bleeding with them, really made us bond as a group of hard-working young men who I know will succeed in life. ‎ ‎25. What is the main idea of the passage? ‎ A. How the author dislikes the game of football. ‎ B. When the author began to play football. ‎ C. How the author has changed his attitude to football. ‎ D. What sport the author likes best. ‎ ‎26. In the third paragraph, the underlined phrase “getting in shape” probably means“　　　　”. ‎ A.measuring the track B. designing the playground C. losing weight D. becoming healthy ‎27. From the text we can infer　　　　. ‎ A. the author joined the football team with a clear aim B. football only brought the author certain assignments C. the author worked all summer to get ready for the season D. the author never lost heart when he met with difficulty ‎28. What did the author get from his season-ending injury? ‎ A. A good chance on the team. B. A good lesson about life. ‎ C. A good relationship with his partners. D. A good rest as he expected. ‎ C If you are human, you can’t help but experience times when everything seems to be going wrong and you feel as if your life is completely out of control. It is during those “down times” that words of encouragement from family, friends, co-workers or even strangers can lighten your spirits. It is also during those times that destructive words can sink you deeper and deeper into depression（沮丧）.‎ ‎ For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods when two of them fell into a deep pit(坑). All of the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out.‎ ‎ The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs acted according to what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety.‎ ‎ When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they were all shouting at him to simply quit. The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time. ‎ ‎ Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do choose the chance to say something positive! Don’t let those opportunities get away from you. Your words have a large amount of power. Use them wisely. You really never know just how much they can mean to someone else.‎ ‎29. The first paragraph tells us that words play an important part especially when _______.‎ A. we stay with our family, friends and co-workers ‎ B. we hear strangers say something to us C. we get through hard times in life. ‎ D. we make some big mistakes.‎ ‎30. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety. That’s because_________.‎ A. he struggled to prove that they were wrong ‎ B. he was angry with what they said ‎ C. he thought they were encouraging him ‎ D. he didn’t want to let them down.‎ ‎31. After reading the passage, readers should learn a lesson that _________.‎ A.we can use encouraging words to help others out ‎ B. having a positive attitude is important in life C. never give up until we win ‎ D. we must believe in ourselves rather than others　‎ D People do not like being separated from their mobile phones, even while enjoying a restful holiday at the beach. However, the phone battery（电池）may become exhausted completely. If that happens, they have no choice but to connect the phone to the power supply. But it’s impossible to get the battery charged (充电) at the beach. What’s worse, the hot sun is shining right overhead, and the water in the bottle is sure to reach a very high temperature.‎ Antoine Sayah, a university student from Lebanon, developed a special bench mat(垫) called the Beachill. It looks similar to the ordinary beach mat and will cause back pain as well. However, the device (装置) can recharge any mobile phone. It is designed to be water-resistant (防水的) and has a 5-watt solar panel, which provides power continuously. The mat also has the refrigeration equipment that can help keep drinks cool, just like the refrigerator.‎ Antoine Sayah began selling the Beachill on the Internet for＄150. He says he has been surprised at the reaction worldwide. “I have got orders for the device from Brazil, Toronto, all over Europe, especially France, America, from all continents.” The Beachill is also gaining popularity in other places, like swimming pools and boats.‎ Some people like the mat because it is lightweight and easy-to-carry. Rita Mathieu bought one of the Beachills. “When I am on the beach, I used to look around for a charger and never managed to find any and the water never stays cool,” she says, “so this kind of beach mat is wonderful and has everything in it, even a pocket where I can put a book. Thanks to it, I can surf the Internet and keep in touch with friends at any time at the beach.”‎ ‎32. The first paragraph is mainly intended to .‎ A. show great pity for people at the beach ‎ B. provide some key facts about mobile phones C. prove the importance of water in hot weather ‎ D. attract the readers’ interest in the subject ‎33. What can we learn about the Beachill? ‎ A. It has some function of the refrigerator. B. It will stop working in the water.‎ C. It is quite unusual in appearance. D. It can only be used at the beach.‎ ‎34. Rita Mathieu is mentioned to prove the Beachill's .‎ A. convenience B. popularity C. good quality D. low price ‎35. The text is written to _______.‎ A. tell people a new way to get a cold drink B. introduce a beach mat that can charge a phone C. ask people to stop using phones at the beach D. encourage people to travel around the world 第二节 七选五 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余项.‎ We often focus so much on building relationships with others that we forget the important first step: being friends of ourselves.That is the vital first step if we are to have good relationships with others.How can we have good relationships with others if we don't ever have good relationships with ourselves?The problem might be worse than we expect. 36 .Here is a simple checklist.Is there anything you don't like about yourself from this list?‎ Your past Maybe you have made mistakes in the past which you feel bad about._ 37 _.Even if that happened in the distant past,your subconscious mind still has a reason not to like yourself.‎ ‎ 38 ‎ You might wish that you were born in different family,or that you have different future.Maybe you could not accept the fact that you are not as lucky as others,who seem to get whatever they want effortlessly because of their family.‎ Your personality features ‎ You might have some personality features that you don't like.For example,you may be a quiet person who is more interested in your own thoughts and feelings than in spending time with other people and you don’t like it. 39 .‎ You achievements ‎ ‎ 40 .No matter how hard you tried,it might seem impossible for you to match them.You might then think that it’s because you are not smart enough or don't have enough talents. ‎ Is there anything as the same as your reason from this list?Is there anything that resonates（产生共鸣）with you?
