主要介绍了年5月，加拿大首都渥太华都会举办世界上最大的郁金香节，色彩绚丽的花朵吸引了50多万游客前来观赏。

在这个多彩的节日背后是一个关于友谊与和平的感人故事。

21. Every May, the capital of Canada,Ottawa will host the world’s largest tulip (郁金香) festival, flowers of amazing colors attracting more than 500,000 tourists to come and see. And in the back of this colorful festival is a moving story about friendship and peace.
During World War II, the Dutch royal family came to Canada to seek asylum. In early 1943, Princess Juliana of nine-month pregnancy was about to give birth, which posed a problem to both Canada and Netherlands.According to Canadian law, all babies born in Canada will automatically become Canadian citizens;and according to the Dutch royal succession law, prince or princess must be born on Netherlands soil in order to be recognized as a royal member. Because of this situation, the Canadian government passed a special bill.They placed the sovereignty (主权) of a maternity ward (妇产科病房) in Ottawa Civic Hospital under the Government of the Netherlands. In January19, 1943, Princess Juliana gave birth to her third daughter Margaret on“Dutch land“.
In May 1945, with the help of the Canadian Forces, Netherlands gained its victory and liberation, and the royal family returned to their homeland after several years of separation. That fall, the Dutch government presented one hundred thousand tulip bulbs to Canada to express their respect and gratitude. The following year, Princess Juliana presented twenty thousand tulip bulbs again in her own name, and requested them to be planted on the land of Ottawa Civic Hospital. And since then, Ottawa, the Canadian capital, have received thousands of tulip bulbs from the Netherlands royal family every year. To acknowledge this kindness, the first Ottawa Tulip Festival was held in 1953. And in 2002, Princess Margaret, who was born in the“Dutch delivery room”, returned to Ottawa to attend the 50th Tulip Festival.
This year’s Canadian Tulip Festival will last for 12 days (May 12 to 23). There will be over one million tulips of different colors and species blooming to their most beautiful hues (色调色彩). The Commissioner’s Park along the Dawes Lake and the Rideau Canal is traditionally the best viewing place. This year, the newly added Aberdeen Tulip Pavilion provides people with the opportunity to view the tulips indoors,so that people can enjoy this beautiful annual festival, rain or shine.

文章主要介绍了节日的意义。

22. It’s easy to think festivals are just about drinking and dancing, but festivals are also representatives of what a certain way of life thinks, the way they express themselves. I’ve been to over 60 festivals in 22 different countries, and I still want t o experience more. One of the main reasons I enjoy going to international festivals so much is the fact that they are a microcosm of what they represent. Festivals are an opportunity to see as much as possible in a weekend into worlds so different, or even familiar, of my own.
Festivals are a fascinating insight into a group of individuals with a common understanding and the world they are living in. This is also one of the reasons I enjoy international festivals.
I ticked off a huge bucket list festival in Lake of Stars Festival in Malawi a few years ago. I was unwell and not my usual party self, but, it gave me the opportunity instead to sit and listen to the local poets. Through their poetry they enlightened me to some of the issues of the day—calling out their “fat government” and covering everything from housing, to relationships, to the nominal (名义上的) opportunities.
The importance of celebrating festivals abroad isn’t just to gather with your “tribe”. What I learned in a few poems at Lake of Stars Festival were fascinating insights into modern social issues and the Malawi of the present, which I would have had to dig deep to find out. And I probably wouldn’t have bothered to, to be honest.
Even if only for a weekend, what I learned there from the poets and artists gave me a better understanding of what life was like in Malawi.
You never know what you’re going to learn when you visit a new festival. That’s all part of the fun and expectation.
Comedy makes current social issues fun, music makes them melodic (有旋律的), while poetry makes them considered and heartfelt. Festivals bring you them all.
1. What does the underlined word “microcosm” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Different views. B．Mixed reaction.
C．Small world. D．Rare opportunity.
2. Why does the author like experiencing worldwide festivals?
A．He likes having fun with others.
B．He can learn about the world.
C．He expects to get job opportunities there.
D．He enjoys tasting a variety of drinks and food.
3. What does the author think of Lake of Stars Festival?
A．Instructive. B．Informal. C．Usual. D．Boring.
4. What is stressed in the text?
A．The author’s wishes B．The greatness of poets.
C．The differences between festivals D．The significance of festivals.

文章主要介绍了美国甜蜜日的起源和发展。

23. Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, the aged, and children who have lost their parents, but also friends, workmates, relatives and neighbors whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.
Over 60 years ago, when a Cleveland man noticed that some people, such as children who lost their parents and patients who lay in bed, too often felt forgotten and neglected, he developed in his mind the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this by giving them small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he gave those people small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the
years that followed, other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. Over time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor, the sick and children who had lost their parents was broadened to everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small gift. Soon the idea spread to other cities all over the USA.
Sweetest Day is not based on any single group’s religious beliefs or on a family relationship. It is a reminder that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning. Because for many people remembering takes the form of gift-giving, Sweetest Day offers us the opportunity to show others that we care, in a positive way.
1. What is Sweetest Day for?
A．To express love to our parents. B．To remind us of people in need of our
help.
C．To draw people’s attention to disabled people. D．To keep the weak and nice people around us in mind.
2. What does the underlined word “neglected” mean in paragraph 2? A．Escaped. B．Ignored. C．Rejected. D．Inspired.
3. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A．The importance of Sweetest Day. B．The customs of Sweetest Day.
C．The development of Sweetest Day. D．The future of Sweetest Day.
4. How do most people celebrate Sweetest Day according to paragraph 3?
A．By giving gifts. B．By offering help to others.
C．By sending others reminders. D．By showing others their beliefs.

24. Finding spare change or an extra dollar in your pocket always feels like a victory, 1 . Without thinking, you might hear the familiar rhyme in your head when you spot one on the sidewalk: " Find a penny, pick it up. All day long you’ll have good luck.”

This theory also fueled other superstitions(迷信行为) like charm bracelets and metal horseshoes, which are also "lucky. "Plus, metal currency like pennies were linked to more wealth and thus more luck.
