Music festivals in Europe Visiting a festival abroad can be a great reason to travel and a way to experience different cultures. These days there is such a number of choices that it’s possible to spend the whole summer watching live music in exciting places. Of course, it’s also a chance to meet people from across the world.‎ Melt! Festival, Germany This festival takes place on the site of an open air museum for industrial machinery. There’s also a lake which can be used for swimming when it’s hot. This year’s line-up has over 120 different bands (乐队). Around 90% of the people attending the festival are German providing a perfect chance to practise speaking the language.‎ Exit Festival, Serbia Set on the banks of the Danube in an old fortress (城堡), the festival began as a way to show people’s dissatisfaction with the government.

From electronic music and dance music to hard rock, there is something for everyone to enjoy.‎ Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival, Scotland Set on a Scottish estate (庄园) near Inverness, this year Belladrum will welcome artists from around the world.

The list of taboos is very long and the country’s ruling group is strict- do not turn your back on a Buddha statue, the Bangkok Post cautions. Don’t wear sleeveless tops to the temples, or show your knees. Remove shoes when tour the Wat Pho Royal Monastery.‎ Last week Joseph and Travis Dasilvas from California were in Bangkok where they encountered the Temple of Dawn.They took “butt photos” there and posted them in Instagram.‎ ‎“They didn’t know it was a temple.” the house sitter told NBC “ It is just like a building”‎ ‎ Most of Thailand didn’t see it the way. Certainly not Sudarat Wajanasiri, who shared the Dasilvas’ photo on Facebook over the weekend, adding“ I got no words to rip them”‎ A commenter attempted to figure out what drove two men to moon a holy site, discovering that traveling butt photos are something of a cultural tradition in west countries that the Americans may not have meant to offend. ‎ Thai immigration officials put the men on a watch list after seeing the photo, according to BBC. The “Travelling Butts” account was deleted from Instagram. Police prevented both men at a ‎ Bangkok airport on Tuesday from leaving the country, BBC reported. They face a ＄150 fine and punishment of never coming to Thailand. But a police had accused them, which could put them in jail for up to five years,‎ A commissioner(行政长官) told San Diego Gay &Lesibian News that she had reached out to the U.S government to help the men, who could not be reached by the Washington Post. Their house sitter, told NBC7 that they were trying to find a lawyer in Thailand, and no idea if or when the Traveling Butts would come here.‎ ‎24.What does the underlined word “taboos” probably means?‎ A The tourist attractions you can go to B.

The Butts photo was deleted from Instagram C. Taking butt photos is in fashion in American D. Joseph and Dasilvas may set foot in Thailand again if they paid the fine C. What’s next after the smartphone?‎ Humans can play tricks today that magicians couldn’t have imagined 50 years ago. Armed with only a tiny device today, our smartphone allows us to access a lifetime’s worth of information, connect with anyone in real time even if they are miles away. But the most astonishing part of this technological “magic” is the speed at which new opportunities and experiences are coming out. ‎ For generations, we have seen the inevitable connection between humans and technology as advancements are applied to serve us and improve our quality of life. And the rate of technological progress is doubling every year. ‎ Twenty years ago, who would have thought that we would be walking with robots and cyborgs (半人半机器的生物)? With the development of technology, we humans are accepting digital technologies to improve and expand our senses and abilities. Take Moon Ribs and Neil Harbison for example. They are both cyborgs, with Ribs having a chip put into her arm so she can feel earthquakes all around the world in real time and Harbison, who is color blind, has an antenna (天线) put into his head to allow him to be aware of visible and invisible colors via sound waves.‎ This is only the beginning. As we continue to spend more time with machines, the more they will become embedded (嵌入) in our lives. Technology already feels like it has a mind of its own, and over the next two decades, this will become even more pronounced. ‎ Machines will eventually become as intelligent as us, and, while today they may just live in our pockets, tomorrow they could be in our blood stream and our minds, linking us to the cloud. And as this gap separating humans and machines continues to close, we will reach a point where they can be hardly identified. Technology and humanity will fuse (融合) together some day in the near future. ‎ ‎28. The first paragraph of the passage is intended to tell readers _____. ‎ ‎ A. smartphone brings us convenience and lifetime’s worth of information ‎ B. the magical and powerful functions of smartphone C. the most astonishing technological magic of smartphone D. new opportunities and experiences are approaching at a high speed ‎29.

Neil Harbison is a cyborg that can _____. ‎ ‎ A. help human to create other cyborgs ‎ B. sense colours by using sound waves ‎ C. see both visible and invisible colours D. feel earthquakes all around the world ‎ ‎31 What is the main idea of this passage? ‎ ‎ A. The new technologies related to smartphone in the near future.‎ ‎ B. Machines will eventually become as intelligent as human beings. ‎ ‎ C. The future tendency that technology and humanity will fuse together. ‎ D. We are reaching a point where we can’t tell technologies and machines apart. ‎ D I was looking out the window that summer afternoon. It was as if the trees were inviting me to join in their impromptu(即兴的) dances as they played hide and seek in the misty fog. A strange stillness surrounded me as I sat in the hotel hall, waiting for the taxi to take me to the music camp site. I had flown for sixteen hours to attend a music camp in Michigan for three weeks. Excited more than I was nervous, I felt ready for new meetings.‎ A week passed like a breeze, and my cello(大提琴) notes were becoming sweeter. I took a break to the school shop with another Chinese friend. As I picked out my newfound favorite American candy bar, I noticed my friend chatting with another Chinese girl. I soon joined in with natural ease, and discovered that we were the only other Asians at the camp. It felt like a good chance that our friendship was formed forever. During the orchestra rehearsals(排演), Mr. Lastrapes, a genius at discovering the slightest off-key note（走音的音符）, persuaded me to relax my tightened arms with his soft voice and gentle manners, thereby allowing me to release notes that I could never create before. We continued to have two hours of rehearsals every day in a large hall that could hold 4,000 people. What we had instead was an audience of ducks and geese outside that swam so freely and happily to our melody(曲调). How an unusual experience I had!‎ All things, good or bad, must come to an end, when I waited to board the plane, I was looking out the airport window, thinking back at the heartfelt moment of farewell with my friend, Caroline, ‎ at the camp gates. We had promised to meet again, but how and when, she was returning to Kentucky, and I, to China. The cello strings were not long or tight enough to keep us connected. ‎ ‎32. How did the author feel when waiting in the hotel hall?‎ A. He felt excited to find out the great fun in nature.‎ ‎ B. He felt eager to have some unexpected meetings.‎ C. He felt worried about whether he would perform well.‎ ‎ D. He felt tired after flying a long journey to the music camp.‎ ‎33. From para2 we know that ___________‎ A.the author was happy to find out his favorite snack.‎ B. the author felt good to have friends to accompany.‎ C. the author was lucky to make some lifelong friends. ‎ D.the author found it easy to communicate with Asians.‎ ‎34. Why did the author mention the ducks and geese?‎ A. He wanted to live a free and happy life like them.‎ B. He wanted to show he was relaxed and enjoyed the process.‎ ‎ C. He wanted to prove inspiration comes from daily life.‎ D. He wanted to show their music reached a wide audience.‎ ‎35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. They found it hard to say good-bye to each other.‎ ‎ B. They were not sure music could connect each other.‎ C.They knew maybe they are unlikely to see each other again.‎ D. They hugged each other without words at the camp gate.‎ 第二节（共5小题，每小题2 分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后面的选项中选出能填 入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Stop Complaining ‎ We are instructed not to use any dirty words or polluting language. 36 But I have learned that complaining pollute our lives at one time.‎ ‎ 37 How quick are we to become impatient and begin to complain when stuck in traffic or ‎ while waiting in checkout narrow roads in grocery stores or department stores? How quick are we to spot and point out all the faults of our friends or family members? ‎ The influence of excessive（过度的）complaining. Complaining can make you feel pretty down, for example. There is just so much that's wrong, everywhere, and no matter how much you complain, it just isn't possible to get it all put right. Plain and simple complaining is a behaviour that people disapprove of or consider morally wrong! 38 ‎ Complaining can become a habit. When you made your first complaints, you carefully chose what to protest about, and to whom, and how, in order to get very specific results. 39 You have an “auto-complainer” that comes out with your criticisms to whoever is listening.‎ The best antidote(矫正方法) for complaining is thanksgiving. 40 They are too busy being grateful for all the good things they have that they have no time to notice the things they could complain about. And also remember that it is no use complaining without taking any actions.‎ A. But you probably no longer do that.‎ B. Don’t get discouraged when you fail.‎ C. Truly thankful people do not complain.‎ D. I didn’t realize that this included complaining.‎ E. We need to ask ourselves something like these.‎ F. When you really want to stop complaining all the time.‎ G. It causes many people a great deal of problems in their lives and destroys the joy of anyone listening.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分50分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ It was the end of my first day as waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone away, and my feet 41 . The loaded plates I carried 42 to be heavier and heavier. Tired and discouraged, I didn’t seem able to do anything 43 . As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream 44 a dozen times, I was ready to stop. Then the father 45 at me as he handed my tip. “Well done,” he said, “you’ve 46 us really well.” Suddenly my tiredness 47 . I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I’d like my first day, I said, “ 48 !” Those few words of praise had 49 everything. Praise is like 50 to the human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And 51 while ‎ most of us are only too 52 to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are 53 to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise. Why---when one word of praise can bring such 54 ?‎ It’s strange how chary we are about praising. Perhaps it’s 55 few of us know how to accept it. It’s 56 rewarding to give praise in areas in which 57 generally goes unnoticed or unmentioned. An artist gets complimented (admired) for a glorious picture, a cook for a 58 meal. But do you ever tell your laundry manager how pleased you are when the shirts are 59 just right? In fact, to give praise 60 the giver nothing but a moment’s thought and a moment’s effort.‎ ‎41.

It’s said that 7,000 people lose their umbrellas in London every year. And all these umbrellas go to the Lost and Found Offices. However, hundreds of years ago, only rich and important people used umbrellas in ancient countries like India, China and Egypt. These rich people didn’t use umbrellas in the rain. They used them in the sun. Of course, poor people worked in the sun, but they didn’t have umbrellas. The Chinese invented the first umbrella for use in the rain. Starting in the 16th century the umbrella became popular to the western world. Umbrellas appeared in Britain about 400 years ago. At first, only women had umbrellas. Men didn’t like them. In 1750, a traveler named Jonas was the first man to use an umbrella on the street in England. The first umbrella shop was called “James Smith and Sons”. The shop was opened in 1830, and it is still located at 53 New ‎ Oxford Street in London now.‎
