Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Sometimes celebrations would be held after hunters had caught animals. At that time people would starve if food was difficult to find, especially during the cold winter months. Today's festivals have many origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or events.‎ Festivals to Honour People Festivals can also be held to honour famous people. The Dragon Boat Festival in China honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan. In the USA, Columbus Day is in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World. India has a national festival on October 2 to honour Mohandas Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India's independence from Britain.‎ Harvest Festivals Harvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gathered for the winter and the agricultural work is over. In European countries, people will usually decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and will get together to have meals. Some people might win awards for their farm produce, like the biggest watermelon or the most handsome rooster. China and Japan have mid-autumn festivals, when people admire the moon and in China, enjoy mooncakes.‎ Spring Festivals The most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring. At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fish and meat and may give children lucky money in red paper. There are dragon dances and carnivals, and families celebrate the Lunar New Year together. Some Western countries have very exciting carnivals, which take place forty days before Easter, usually in February. These carnivals might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music and colourful clothing of all kinds. Easter is an important religious and social festival for Christians around the world. It celebrates the return of Jesus from the dead and the coming of spring and new life. Japan's Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little later. The country, covered with cherry tree flowers, looks as though it is covered with pink snow.‎ ‎21. What does the text mainly talk about?‎ A.

It had been a very strange morning. Usually he got up early and prepared his menu of barbecued mutton kebabs, roast pork,‎ ‎ stir-fried vegetables and fried rice. Then by lunchtime they would all be sold. By now his restaurant ought to be full of people. But not today! Why was that? What could have happened? He thought of his mutton, beef and bacon cooked in the hottest, finest oil. His cola was sugary and cold, and his ice cream was made of milk, cream and delicious fruit. “Nothing could be better,” he thought. Suddenly he saw his friend Li Chang hurrying by. “Hello, Lao Li,” he called. “Your usual? ” But Li Chang seemed not to hear. What was the matter? Something terrible must have happened if Li Chang was not coming to eat in his restaurant as he always did.Wang Peng followed Li Chang into a new small restaurant. He saw a sign in the window.‎ Tired of all that fat? Want to lose weight?‎ Come inside Yong Hui’s slimming restaurant.‎ Only slimming foods served here.‎ Make yourself thin again!‎ Curiosity drove Wang Peng inside. It was full of people. The hostess, a very thin lady, came forward. “Welcome”, she said. “My name is Yong Hui. I'll help you lose weight and be fit in two weeks if you eat here every day.” Then she gave a menu to Wang Peng. There were few choices of food and drink on it: just rice, raw vegetables served in vinegar, fruit and water. Wang Peng was amazed at this and especially at the prices. It cost more than a good meal in his restaurant! He could not believe his eyes. He threw down the menu and hurried outside. On his way home he thought about his own menu. Did it make people fat? Perhaps he should go to the library and find out. He could not have Yong Hui getting away with telling people lies! He had better do some research!‎ At the library Wang Peng was surprised to find that his restaurant served far too much fat and Yong Hui’s far too little. Even though her customers might get thin after eating Yong Hui’s food, they were not eating enough energy-giving food to keep them fit. They would become tired very quickly.‎ ‎25. What did Wang Peng feel when he sat in his empty restaurant?‎ A. Happy B. Upset C. Encouraged D. Unclear ‎26. What kind of food does Wang Peng’s restaurant offer?‎ A. Cheese and bread. B. Fruit and water.‎ C. Raw vegetables. D. Roast pork.‎ ‎27. What do we know about Yong Hui’s food?‎ A. People felt energetic.‎ B. People would easily get tired.‎ C. The food contained a large amount of fat.‎ D. The food served too much salt and vinegar.‎ ‎28. What can we infer from the passage?‎ A. Heavy food, thin.‎ B. Light food, energetic.‎ C. Varied diet, healthy.‎ D. Balanced diet, healthy.‎ C No one knows exactly how the earth began, as it happened so long ago. However, according to a widely accepted theory, the universe began with a “Big Bang” that threw matter in all directions. After that, atoms began to form and combine to create stars and other bodies.‎ For several billion years after the “Big Bang”, the earth was still just a cloud of dust. What it was to become was uncertain until between 4.5 and 3.8 billion years ago when the dust settled into a solid globe. The earth became so violent that it was not clear whether the shape would last or not. It exploded loudly with fire and rock. They were in time to produce carbon, nitrogen, water vapor and other gases, which were to make the earth’s atmosphere. What is even more important is that as the earth cooled down, water began to appear on its surface.‎ Water had also appeared on other planets like Mars but unlike the earth, it had disappeared later. It was not immediately obvious that water was to be fundamental to the development of life. What many scientists believe is that the continued presence of water allowed the earth to dissolve harmful gases and acids into the oceans and seas. This produced a chain reaction, which made it possible for life to develop.‎ Many millions of years later, the first extremely small plants began to appear on the surface of the water. They multiplied and filled the oceans and seas with oxygen, which encouraged the later development of early shellfish and all sorts of fish. Next, green plants began to grow on land. They were followed in time by land animals. Some were insects. Others, called amphibians, were able to live on land as well as in the water. Later when the plants grew into forests, reptiles ‎ appeared for the first time. They produced young generally by laying eggs. After that, some huge animals, called dinosaurs, developed. They laid eggs too and existed on the earth for more than 140 million years. However, 65 million years ago the age of the dinosaurs ended. Why they suddenly disappeared still remains a mystery. This disappearance made possible the rise of mammals on the earth. These animals were different from all life forms in the past, because they gave birth to young baby animals and produced milk to feed them.‎ Finally about 2.6 million years ago some small clever animals, now with hands and feet, appeared and spread all over the earth. Thus they have, in their turn, become the most important animals on the planet. But they are not looking after the earth very well. They are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which prevents heat from escaping from the earth into space. As a result of this, many scientists believe the earth may become too hot to live on. So whether life will continue on the earth for millions of years to come will depend on whether this problem can be solved.‎ ‎29. What is the purpose of this text?‎ A. To share the author’s experience.‎ B. To introduce how life began on the earth.‎ C. To explain a widely accepted theory.‎ D. To form and create stars and other bodies.‎ ‎30. Why do many scientists think the continued presence of water is important?‎ A. The water on the Mars and the earth are alike.‎ B. Water made it possible for the earth to develop.‎ C. Some harmful gases and acids could be dissolved.‎ D. It appeared on other planets and disappeared later.‎ 31. What possibly made the rise of mammals on the earth?‎ A. The arrival of amphibians.‎ B. The difference of life forms.‎ C. The disappearance of dinosaurs.‎ D. The development of shellfish and fish.‎ 32. This text is organized in the pattern of_________.‎ A. Time and events.‎ A. Comparison and contrast.‎ B. Cause and effect.‎ C. Argument and explanation.‎ D Holiday workshop This program focuses on building the child’s self-esteem (自尊心) and learning to love and accept themselves for who they are. It helps them focus on their strong points and make them more self-confident. The workshop will run for three days to give children a more satisfying time during the holiday. There will be three different groups according to age.‎ Toy car racing Kids will have the chance to control their own solar powered (太阳能) racing models. After models have been tested in the fun “Pit Area”, kids will race against each other on a 10m track. With fun prizes, workshops also plan to encourage fair competitions and communication among kids of different ages.‎ Kids’ own pots Kitchen is the very heart of the family life. It’s where many of life’s lessons are learned. Feeding children can be one of the most difficult parts. Studies have shown that if children take part in the preparation of food, they are more likely to develop an interest in food and feel a strong sense of achievement. Cooking gives the perfect combination of fun and imagination, and it’s a great way to teach children about the food they eat. It is an excellent way to let little children learn about healthy food and get them on the “right road” from an early age.‎ ‎33. What will you do if your kids are not confident enough?‎ A.
