本文主要分析了中国人越来越喜欢庆祝外国节日的原因以及为什么中国的传统节日逐渐失去吸引力的背景。

13. Nowadays, people in China are increasingly interested in celebrating foreign festival, especially those western festivals.
A survey conducted recently by Sina. Com showed that among the 18,222 people surveyed 63.9% said celebrating Christmas is just another way of recreation, nothing serious while 17.85% surveyed considered the festival as a fashion act, showing they were not “out”. These two parts clearly indicate the general opinion of the young. 10.45 percent people involved said the celebration of a religious western festival with so much enthusiasm is absolutely ridiculous pursuit of foreign goodness. Only 7.8% of people define Christmas as a kind of festival colonization(殖民).
The arising of celebrating foreign festivals clearly has something to do with the advancement of China’s economy. In my opinion of view,Christmas and other festivals celebrated in China have difference from the origin. They have lost their religious background and turned into a big occasion to have fun and enjoy life. Shop owners' pockets are filled, the public's hunger for happiness is filled, and that is enough. Foreign festivals in China are more like carnivals giving people pleasure and enjoyment.
The crisis(危机) of traditional Chinese festivals that are losing their attraction may be linked to the culture tradition and background of the festivals. Most Chinese festival culture is related more or less to real life.
But the western culture shows much of romance. Some festivals have their religious background while others have much to do with culture and people. At this point, food seems to be too plain. Flowers and chocolates are more welcomed.
Foreign festivals in China today are celebrated for fun. They give people opportunities to relax and to show appreciation and gratefulness. The acceptance of foreign festivals generally depends on the openness of the public, the familiarity with the western culture, and most importantly, on people’s economic status.
1. From the survey we know that among the people surveyed _________
A ．Most think celebrating foreign festivals is ridiculous
B ．Many fear that traditional Chinese festivals will disappear soon
C ．Some think that celebrating foreign festivals is a sign of foreign goodness chasing
D ．half think celebrating foreign festivals makes people not go out of faction
2. The writer think that foreign festivals celebrated in China ________
A ．have lost their religious background
B ．are the same as those celebrated in the west
C ．can give more fun than traditional Chinese festivals
D ．may reduce the hunger of public people
3. What is the main difference between foreign festivals and traditional Chinese ones ?
A ．Foreign festivals can make Chinese shop owners’ pockets full quickly
B ．The food at foreign festivals is too simple
C ．Chinese festivals always have something to do with culture
D ．Foreign festivals are romantic while traditional Chinese ones are connected with reality
4. Which of the following may NOT be the reason why so many people accept foreign festivals?
A．People can relax themselves .
B．People can show their thanks to others
C．Foreign festivals have longer histories than Chinese ones
D．People have known more about the western culture.
14. A new study combining linguistic, genetic and archaeological evidence has traced the origins of the family of languages including modern Japanese, Korean, Turkish and Mongolian and the people who speak them to millet (粟) farmers who inhabited a region in northeastern China about 9,000 years ago．
The findings detailed on Wednesday document a shared genetic ancestry for the hundreds of millions of people who speak what the researchers call Transeurasian languages across an area stretching more than 8,000 kilometers.
The findings illustrate how humankind’s embrace of agriculture following the Ice Age powered the movements of some of the world’s major language families. Millet was an important early crop as hunter-gatherers transitioned to an agricultural lifestyle.
There are 98 Transeurasian languages. This language family’s beginnings were traced to millet farmers in the Liao River valley, an area including parts of the Chinese provinces of Liaoning and Jilin and the region of Inner Mongolia. As these farmers moved across northeastern Asia, the descendant languages spread north and west into Siberia and east into Korea and over the sea to Japan over thousands of years.
The research stressed the complex beginnings for modern populations and cultures.
“Accepting that the roots of one’s language, culture or people lie beyond the present national boundaries is a kind of surrender of identity, which some people are not yet prepared to make,” said comparative linguist Martine Robbeets, lead author of the study published in the journal Nature.
“Powerful nations such as Japan, Korea and China are often pictured as representing one language, one culture and one genetic profile. But a truth is that all languages, cultures and humans, including those in Asia, are mixed,” Robbeets added.
The origins of modern Chinese languages arose independently, though in a similar fashion, with millet also involved. While the ancestors of the Transeurasian languages grew millet in the Liao River valley, the originators of the Sino-Tibetan language family farmed millet at roughly the same time in China’s Yellow River region, paving the way for a separate language expansion.
1. What is the new study mainly about?
A．The migration routes of millet farmers.
B．The ancient origins of a large language family.
C．The different ancestries of Transeurasian speakers.
D．The shared features of some neighboring languages.
2. What fueled the spread of Transeurasian languages?
A．The transition of power.B．The diversity of lifestyles.
C．The interaction of cultures.D．The adoption of farming.
3. According to Robbeets, who may feel uncomfortable about the new findings?
A．Those from agricultural countries.
B．Those who deny their cultural identity.
C．Those with a strong sense of nationalism.
D．Those who are afraid to cross boundaries.
4. What is the main function of the last paragraph?
A．To draw a conclusion.
B．To present likely consequences.
C．To highlight the theme.
D．To offer additional information.

主要介绍了二维码菜单对于餐馆来说一些好处，以及对于用餐的人可能带来的一些弊端。

17. The QR-code menu—which you access by scanning a black-and-white square with your smartphone—has taken off. 1 But I hope not,
because I hate those digital menus.
For restaurants, QR-code menus offer potential benefits beyond putting germ-averse(厌恶细菌的)customers at greater ease. In the near future, restaurants might use dynamic menus. 2 Besides, the prices of some dishes could also rise or fall to better match supply with demand.
3 QR-code menus will force a distraction during the dining. You may just be checking to see what you want your next drink to be. However,
from there it’s easy to start checking texts and emails.
Research conducted before the pandemic suggests that, even if everyone resists the temptation to check an incoming text message, merely having
a phone out on the table makes a meal less fun for all involved. 4 The social-psychology researcher Ryan Dwyer and his colleagues randomly
assigned some people to keep their phone out when dining with friends and others to put it away. “We found that groups assigned to use their phones enjoyed the experience less than groups that did not use their phones,” Dwyer said, “primarily due to the fact that participants with phones were more distracted.”
QR-code menus reduce privacy, too. 5 Many of the codes are actually generated by a different company that collects, uses, and then often shares your personal information. In fact, companies that provide QR codes to restaurants like to talk about all the personal information you are sharing along with that food order: your location, your gender, your age group, and other information about you and your period.
A．QR codes have been around for a while.
B．I came across a study published in 2021.
C．QR-code menus are not really an advance.
D．Dishes disappear from them when kitchen runs out.
E．It seems that they are likely to replace restaurant menus.
F．Diners who use them aren’t just communicating with the restaurant.
G．QR codes also present a great data collection opportunity for restaurants.

文章主要讲述了研究者们发现树木有着阻挡水中有害细菌的作用，是一种天然的滤水器，并对实验过程进行了描述。

18. 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

The truth 1 trees are vital to our life is not a secret. They provide us with food, wood and most 2 (importance), oxygen. Now there is one more thing we can add to this list — blocking out harmful bacteria from water.
The discovery 3 (make) by a team consisting of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and high school students who were seeking a 4 (nature) water filter (过滤器) — one that would help communities in developing countries that do not have access to
modern water filter systems.
The 5 (research), led by Professor Rohit Karnik, decided to turn to trees for help because they could allow liquid to flow through, while 6 (block) out air bubbles.
They began by cutting 1.5-inch-wide sections of tree bark from the branches of a white pine tree. The people related then tested the wood’s filtering ability by pouring water containing red dye particles of different sizes through. 7 their amazement, they found that it was effective in trapping all the particles. 8 (encourage), the team conducted 9 experiment, this time with water 10 contained bacteria. Sure enough, the sapwood held back 99% of the bacteria, allowing only 1% to flow through.。
