Whizzfizzing Festival
As one of the Home Counties to the north and west of London, Buchinghamshire is known for the rolling Chiltern Hills, its pretty villages, and the much-loved children’s author Roald Dahl.
The writer who penned Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Witches, Matilda and The Big Friendly Giant is the inspiration for the Whizzfizzing Festival, which will transform the market-town of Aylesbury into all kinds of music, color and fun on Saturday, 1 July.
Formerly known as The Roald Dahl Festival, this year’s event will involve a broad range of children’s films and bring to life some of their best-loved characters —from Alice in Wonderland and Gruffalo to The Big Friendly Giant and Harry Potter.
Things to See and Do
The festivals start at 11 a.m. with a colorful children’s parade. More than 650 local school children and teachers, many in fancy dress, will march through the town carrying giant carnival puppets(木偶), with thousands of audiences lining the street to watch.
The parade will be followed by a range of child-friendly activities and workshops held in venues across the town.
Don’t be late for the Mad Hatters Tea Party in the Buck s County Museum, catch a splendid screening of a Roald Dahl film in the Old Court House, watch leading children’s authors, including Julian Clary, and read in the Market Square.
CBeebies’ children’s chef Katy Ashworth will once again cook up a storm with
her interactive Concoction Kitchen, located outside Hale Leys Shopping Centre. Little chefs will have lots of opportunities to get involved in preparing, cooking — and best of all, tasting —Katy’s wonderful dishes.
With hands-on arts and crafts workshops, storytelling sessions, live music, a fancy dress competition, street theatre and more, there is something for everyone.

B
Have you ever looked at a fashionable item of clothing and felt confused? If so, your confusion may have made sense.
Several months ago, high fashion brand Balenciaga released a “T-shirt shirt”, which is a shirt sewn on the front of a T-shirt. The unusual design has certainly confused a lot of people.
But the “double shirt” isn’t fighting alone on the frontier of strange fashion. Ever since US shoe manufacturer Crocs released its famous hole-filled foam shoes, the so-called “ugly fashion” hasn’t showed any signs of slowing down, the Business of Fashion website noted.
British designer Paul Surridge believes that the rise of ugly fashion is a sign
that people are bored with looking perfect all the time. “Fashion thrives (v. 蓬勃发展) on novelty”, he told the Financial Times.
Indeed, fashion is all about changes. Something that’s considered uncool one minute can then turn out to be the latest must-have fashion item the next.
And in the eyes of US fashion writer Megan Collins, ugly doesn’t necessa rily mean the design of the item is ugly. After all, ugly is something subjective. “Ugly fashion means ‘not the mainstream’—it is not what everyone’s wearing; it is not what the general population considers as ‘in’ right now,” she told style news site Fashionista.
But throughout the history of fashion, when any new trend appears, most people tend to hate it, before it eventually becomes loved. As Italian designer Miuccia Prada told The New York Times, “Maybe because it is newer, ugly is attractive. Ugly is exciting.”
Meanwhile, popular social media fashion bloggers also help people to pick up new ugly fashion trends. These bloggers express themselves through their clothes, showing their unique personalities and making statements with their wardrobe choices. However, as Clever-ish Magazine noted, just being comfortable in your own skin could actually be “the best look”.
“I personally love having a unique expression because without ugly fashion and diversity, we’d all look the same,” Australian fashion influen cer and model Zanita Whittington told Fashionista. “I appreciate anything that’s out of the norm(n. 规范).”
5. The underlined word “in” in the passage could be replaced by ____________.
A. ugly
B. fashionable
C. affordable
D. expensive
6. What will some social media fashion bloggers do to show their personalities?
A. They will dress themselves to look perfect.
B. They will try some new and exciting clothes.
C. They will make statements with others’ clothes choices.
D. They will express themselves by wearing ugly clothes.
7. What can we infer from Zanita Whittington’s words?
A. She is in favor of ugly fashion trends.
B. She doesn’t care about fashion at all.
C. She hopes to be the same as others.
D. She wants to look ugly as a model.
【答案】5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】
本文是一篇时尚类短文阅读。

上个月，高级时尚品牌巴黎世家推出了一款“T恤衬衫”，将一件衬衫缝在了T恤的正面，此番不同寻常的设计无疑让不少人摸不到头脑。

每年在各路大牌的时尚秀上，我们总会看到一些让人摸不着头脑的另类时尚单品，而这类“丑时尚”也成为了今年的一大潮流。

【5题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据文章第三段Ugly fashion means ‘not the mainstream’—it is not what everyone’s wearing; it is not what the general population considers as ‘in’ right now( 丑时尚意味着“非主流”——那并不是人人都在穿的样式，也不是主流大众目前所认为的“时髦”。

)由此可知，in是“时尚的”之意。

故选B。

故选D。

【7题详解】
推理判断题。

根据文章最后一段I personally love having a unique expression because without ugly fashion and diversity, we’d all look the same,” Australian fashion influencer and mod el Zanita Whittington told Fashionista. “I appreciate anything that’s out of the norm(n. 规范). ( “我个人喜欢独特的表达，因为要是没有丑时尚与多样性的话，我们看起来都一个样。

”澳大利亚时尚大咖萨妮塔•惠廷顿在接受Fashionista 网站采访时表示“我欣赏不走寻常路的任何事物。

”) 可知，Zanita Whittington 赞成这种丑时尚趋势。

故选A。

C
When he was young, Louis Ar mstrong was taking what was called “Creole jazz”, which was also called dance music, and combining it with trumpeter(小号手) Buddy Bolden, to create what would eventually become today’s jazz.
Armstrong accomplished this with almost no formal training. He received little training before he was placed in the New Orleans Colored Waif’s Home at the age of 12, after a run-in(小争执) with the police. The punishment turned out to be a mixed blessing, for he also had the opportunity to play in a real band.
While at the W aif’s, Armstrong also got the chance to hear some of the city’s finest musicians. Cornetist Freddie Keppard performed in a nearby club. So did trumpeter and bandleader King Joe Oliver, who took the boy under his wing and taught him how to read music and work on his playing technique.
When Oliver left for Chicago, Armstrong chose to stay in New Orleans and work with some of the other top musicians of the day. In Chicago, King Oliver offered him a place in his band in 1922. It became Armstrong’s biggest chall enge yet —the band had no parts written for trumpet, so he was forced to listen to King Oliver and improvise(即兴创作).
Soon, Armstrong’s undeniable talent was getting noticed. Even classically trained musicians would come to hear the incredible sounds this young man created.
Lil Hardin, the band’s piano player and the future Mrs. Armstrong, explained that Oliver kept Armstrong in the second trumpet-chair so that Oliver would still be “King”. Hardin convinced him to leave the band.
Armstrong moved to New York City in 1924 to join Fletcher Henderson’s band and then flew solo. In 1925, Armstrong put together the Hot Five, expanding his popularity even more. Armstrong recorded his first composition, Cornet Chop Suey, one of the most copied jazz solos of all time. This monumental 1928 recording blends(混合) artistry, endurance and showmanship that has rarely, if ever, been matched in jazz.
8. What does the underlined word “this” refer to in the second paragraph?
A. To play dance music.
B. To work with Buddy Bolden.
C. To play a jazz instrument well.
D. To create modern jazz music.
9. Who taught Louis Armstrong how to play music in the early time?
A. Buddy Bolden.
B. Lil Hardin.
C. King Joe Oliver.
D. Cornetist Freddie Keppard.
10. Why did Louis Armstrong Le ave King Oliver’s band?
A. Because he wanted to get married in New York.
B. Because his talent could not develop completely.
C. Because he got a better opportunity in New York.
D. Because the man forced him to leave the band.
11. What’s the main idea of th e passage?
A. It asks readers to know more about modern jazz.
B. It introduces one of the greatest jazz musicians.
C. It introduces the development of jazz.
D. It describes the importance of talent in playing jazz.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. B
【解析】
本文是一篇人物介绍。

文章主要是介绍了路易斯·阿姆斯特朗对音乐的追求情况。

路易斯·阿姆斯特朗是天士乐坛无人不知、无人不晓的人物，他从小就对音乐很感兴趣，后来他慢慢的才华显露，有了很高的成就。

【8题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据文章第一段和第二段When he was young, Louis Armstrong was taking what was called “Creole jazz”, which was also called dance music, and combining it with trumpeter(小号手) Buddy Bolden, to create what would eventually become today’s jazz.和Armstrong accomplished this with almost no formal training.可知路易斯·阿姆斯特朗年轻的时候他就创造了舞蹈音乐，后来他和号手巴迪·博尔登一起创造了爵士乐，阿姆斯特朗几乎在没有任何正规训练的基本上就完成了爵士乐的创造，故this指代“创造现代爵士乐”。

故选D。

【9题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章第三段So did trumpeter and bandleader King Joe Oliver ,who took the boy under his wing and taught him how to read music and work on his playing technique.号手兼领队的King Joe Oliver将阿姆斯特朗收入门下，并教他如何懂音乐以及一些音乐技巧。

故选C。

【10题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章倒数第二段Oliver kept Armstrong in the second trumpet-chair so that Oliver would still be King" .Hardin convinced him to leave the band.由此可知，Oliver 让阿姆斯特朗在第二号手的位置，那样的话阿姆斯特朗的才华得不到充分的发挥，因此Hardin劝说阿姆斯特朗离开乐队。

故选B。

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。

路易斯·阿姆斯特朗是天士乐坛无人不知、无人不晓的人物，他从小就对音乐很感兴趣，后来他慢慢的才华显露，有了很高的成就。

D
Some colors people see late at night could cause signs of clinical (临床的) depression. That was the finding of a study that builds on earlier study findings. They show that individuals who live or work in low levels of light overnight can develop clinical depression. Doctors use the word “clinical depression" to describe severe form of depression. Signs may include loss of interest or pleasure in most activities, low energy levels and thoughts of death or suicide.
In the new study, American investigators designed an experiment that exposed hamsters(仓鼠) to different colors. The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night.
The animals were separated into four groups. One group of hamsters was kept in the dark during their night-time period. Another group was placed in front of a blue light, a third group slept in front of a white light, while a fourth was put in front of a red light. After four weeks, the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water.
Randy Nelson heads the Department of Neuroscience at Ohio State University. He says animals that slept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed. “What we saw is that these animals didn’t show any sleep uneasiness at all but they did mess up biological clock genes and they did show depressive sign while if they were in the dim(微弱的) red light, they did not.”
Randy Nelson notes that photosensitive (感光的) cells in the eyes have little to do with eyesight. He says these cells send signals to the area of the brain that controls what has been called the natural sleep-wake cycle.
He says there’s a lot of blue in white light. Th is explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness.
12. Researchers use hamsters in the experiment because ____________.
A. they are similar to humans in dealing with colors
B. they are easy to observe and study
C. they are sensitive to colors like human beings
D. they are active at night and sleep during the day
13. What sign shows that the hamsters are being depressed?
A. They drink less sugary water.
B. They don’t sleep we ll.
C. Their eyesight becomes worse.
D. Their energy level becomes low.
14. ___________tends to cause hamsters to be depressed.
A. Dim light
B. Red light
C. Blue light
D. Darkness
15. What can help people who work late at night to avoid being depressed?
A. Not being exposed to dim red light when using computers.
B. Equipping their computer screens to put it more in the reddish light.
C. Living or working in low levels of light overnight.
D. Going to see doctors of clinical depression regularly for help.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
本文介绍了一项新的研究发现：人们在深夜看到的一些颜色可能会引起“临床沮丧”（clinical depression）。

【12题详解】
细节理解题。

从第二段中的“The researchers chose hamsters because they are nocturnal, which means they sleep during the day and are active at night”可知，研究者使用仓鼠，是因为它们在白天睡觉，晚上却出来活动。

故选D。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。

从第四段中的“…the researchers noted how much sugary water the hamsters drank. They found that the most depressed animals drank the least amount of water”可知，研究人员发现，压抑感最强的仓鼠喝的糖水最少。

故选A。

【14题详解】
推理判断题。

从第五段中的“…animals that s lept in blue and white light appeared to be the most depressed”可知，睡在蓝光和白光里的仓鼠看起来最压抑。

根据第五段中的“if they were in the dim(微弱)red light, they did not”可知，在昏暗的红光里，仓鼠一点也看不出压抑。

根据第七段中的“This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depress ed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness”可知，处在蓝光中的仓鼠比在黑暗里的仓鼠也更加压抑。

故选Ｃ。

【15题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段中的“This explains why the blue light and white light hamsters appear to be more depressed than the hamsters seeing red light or darkness”可知，在红光或黑暗中，仓鼠的压抑感表现得比蓝光或白光中的仓鼠少。

由此可以看出，B项中的让电脑屏幕多显现出一些红光的做法是可取的。

故选B。

【名师点睛】
一）做题步骤
1．阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词
在阅读文章的开始部分、明确文章的基本话题以后，要阅读五个空各自的前后句，并将前后句中的解题线索，即关键词标记下来。

关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组）、专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。

2．阅读各个选项，尤其是选项的首句，标记关键词
3．比较上述两类关键词，确定答案
4．将确定的答案代入原文，看读起来是否通顺。

二）判断方法
在标记了原文与选项的关键词以后，可以按照下列原则判断原文的空与选项是否匹配：
1．词汇衔接
正确选项中的关键词一般重复前一句的关键词，也与下一句的关键词相呼应。

2．逻辑衔接
正确选项与原文空之前的句子在逻辑上是连贯的。

例如，36.前句the first escape game location opened last August.那么按照逻辑后文应该是密室逃脱游戏继续在各地开放。

3．代词衔接
正确选项中代词之后的关键词一定在原文的前一句谈论过。

例如，如果选项中说this reward，而且这一选项是正确答案，那么原文中的空之前的句中一定出现过reward这个词或它的同义词
