When we say the word “Spain”, images of Latin passion, flamenco(弗拉门科民歌）and proud bullfighters come to mind. Actually, its cultural richness is best represented by the annual week-long festival during the last week of April -- April Feria(守护神节), or the April Fair.
The site of the April Fair is a square with streets named after famous bullfighters and cultural figures. This is fit for the festival that started in the 19th century in response to the rise of foreign culture in Spain. Indeed, the routine of the April Fair sometimes must be fixed. People sleep for only a few hours a day, take turns to work and then dance and eat for the rest of the day. They stop only for a mid-day horse-ride or to watch an evening bullfight. Even then, idustrial production in Seville(塞维利亚), Spain’s third largest city, is seriously interrupted by the celebrations. But perhaps this is a small price to pay for having an annual reunition with friends and relatives as well as the chance to celebrate Spain’s traditional culture.
One of the most popular spectacles is the performance by professional flamenco dancers and musicians,especially when every one joins in the fun. Ladies dance to the rhythmic claps and relatives. Men seldom dance but are great singers of Spanish songs.
24. The underlined word "routine" in the second paragraph probably means____.
A. path
B. regular activities
C. culture
D.
general agreement
25. People usually do the following activities at April Fair, except
________.
A. they watch an evening bullfight.
B. they sleep for only
a few hours
C. all people sing and dance
D. they still work in turn.
26. In the author's opinion, what effects does the April Fair bring?
A. It provides people with a chance to get together.
B. It costs a lot and strengthens industrial relations.
C. It destroys Seville's industrial production.
D. It advertises foreign cultures.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Spanish Festivals
B. Spain, Full of Cultural Richness
C. April Fair: Spain at Its Best
D. Spanish Dancers
at April Fair
C
Artificial(假的) flowers are used for scientific as well as for decorative purposes．They are made from a variety of materials such as wax and glass so skillfully that they can scarcely be distinguished from natural flowers. In making such models painstaking and artistry are called for as well as thorough knowledge of plant structure. The collection of glass flowers in the Botanical Museum of Harvard University is the most famous in North America and is widely known throughout the scientific world. In all, there are several thousand models in colored glass, the work of two artist-naturalists Leopold Blaschka and his son Rudolph.
The intention was to have the collection represent at least one member of each flower family native to the United States. Although it was never completed. It contains more than seven hundred species representing 164 families of flowering plants, a group of fruits showing the effect of fungus(真菌) diseases and thousands of flower parts and magnified(放大的) details. Every detail of these is accurately reproduced in color and structure. The models are kept in locked cases as they are too valuable and fragile for classroom use．
28.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. An Extensive Collection of Glass Flowers
B. The Lives of Leopold and Rudolph
C. Flowers Native to the United States
D. Material Used for Artificial Flowers
29. It can be inferred from the passage that the goal of Leopold and Rudolph was to ________．
A. create a botanical garden where only exotic(异国的) flowers grew
B. do a thorough study of plant structure
C. make a copy of one member of each United States flower family
D. show that glass are more realistic than wax flowers
30. The underlined word“it”refers to ________．
A. the intention
B. the collection
C. one member
D. each flower family
31. Which of the following is NOT included in the display at the Botanical Museum of Harvard University?

B. Magnified details of flower parts．
C. Several species of native birds．
D. A group of diseased fruits．
D
“It’s a big hammer to crack a nut.” This is how one angry parent described
the recent crackdown(严厉)by London police on parents who drop their kids off at school by car. Yes, you read that correctly—the very mode of transportation that many American schools insist—the only safe way to deliver kids to school is now being criminalized in the United Kingdom.
The decision to fine any vehicles seen dropping off or picking up kids with in a particular zone of east London comes from city councillors’(议员) long-term efforts to make the area safer and less crowded. They say they’ve been trying for years “to encourage sensible driving and parking”, but in vain. Neighborhood residents complain frequently about their driveways being blocked by illegally parked cars for 15 minutes or more，often while they’re trying to get to work, and the streets are long overcrowded.
Now the rules have changed. Some parents are angry. Angie Baillieul is a mother who made the “big hammer” comment and says the crackdown is “way over the top.” The nearest drop-off point for her six- year-old is now a five-minute walk from the school. Others are happy with the decision, severe though it may seem. Councillor Jason Frost said ：
“Traffic has significantly reduced，and more children are now walking to school, which is a great outcome. I would rather have complaints that we are slightly inconveniencing parents than hear that a child had been seriously injured because nothing was done.”
I witness daily the chaos(混乱) created by these in-town drivers，when I walk my own kids to school. There’s a parking lot overflowing with vehicles and a slow-moving train of cars moving in circles，many filling the air with harmful smokes. Meanwhile, the conversations around child over-weight and the importance of daily physical activity continue to stand out in schools.”
32.Why is Angie Baillieul opposed to the new rule?
A. She is often fined by London police.
B. She will lose her job as a school driver.
C. She has adapted to the American practice.
D. She thinks it adds inconvenience to her son.
33. Why has the new rule been made according to Jason Frost?
A. On account of massive complaints.
B. Because of students’health problem.
C. Owing to safety concern.
D. Due to air pollution.
34. What can be seen after the crackdown is carried out?
A. Less daily chaos.
B. Favor from all people.
C. More over-weight children.
D. Complaints from neighbors.
35. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Parents attempt to resist a school rule.
B. London police cause widespread anger.
C. American schools care about kids7 safety.
D. Different voices are heard on a new traffic policy.

How to Say No Respectfully
Like most people, your natural instinct(本能) is probably to help others when you can. 36. Whether you’re refusing an invitation to a party or turning down a new project at work, you can say no while still being respectful. Whatever
the situation is, be clear, polite and firm when saying no.
Express your thanks. 37 If you have to turn someone down, express your thanks that they thought of you in the first place. You could say something like, “Thanks for considering me r esponsible enough to watch your kids. I’m sorry that
I’m busy that evening.”
Think before you speak. If you say no immediately, it might seem like you didn’t even consider the request. In order to be respectful, take a moment to think about your answer—even if you already know what it is going to be. 38 Give a clear answer. Saying no respectfully shows that you’re honest and direct.
39 If you can’t help, say no. If someone is asking you on a date and you don’t want to go, make that clear.
40 You can say no without completely turning down the request. By setting boundaries, you can make it clear exactly what you can do and what you are willing
to do. For example, you could say, “I’m not free for dinner, but I would be coming
for a quick drink after work.”
A．Find a way to compromise(妥协).
B．Take a pause, and then kindly say no.
C．But sometimes, you just need to say no.
D．It’s strange to feel guilty for turning someone down.
E．Make it clear that you sincerely appreciate being asked.
F．If you feel it necessary, you can also provide a reason for your answer.
G．Do not give people false hope that you will be able to satisfy their request.

A Game of Light and Shade
It was a sunny day. I had gone up and down the tower when, outside the door at the foot, a blind man came toward me. In a moment, he disappeared up the stairs. I looked at the sign that said "To the Tower", and decided to 41 him.
I caught up with him in the ticket office. There I was 42 to see the attendant (工作人员) selling him a ticket as if he were any other visitor. Then, with the ticket in one hand and 43 the wall with the fingers of the other, the blind man reached the stairs 44 to the hallway.
"That man is blind. What would a blind man climb up the tower for?" I said
to the attendant, expecting him to show some 45 , but he didn't answer.
"Not the 46 certainly," I said. "Perhaps he wants to 47 ."

49 . A third of the way up the tower, I heard his 50 . I slowed down and followed him at a little 51 . He stopped from time to time. When he got to the balcony (阳台), I was a dozen steps 52 . As I reached it, I saw him at the corner of the tower.
At last, after ten minutes, I 53 him. "Excuse me," I said as politely as
I could, "but I am curious to know 54 you came up."
He smiled. "Coming up the stairs, you will notice how not just light but sun 55 into the tower through the narrow windows here and there, so that you
can feel the 56 —the cool stairs suddenly become quite warm—and how up here behind the wall there is 57 , but as soon as going opposite a window you can find the sun. There is no 58 so good as this for feeling the difference between light and shade. It is not the first time I've come up."
The blind man seemed quite 59 , just like a child who was enjoying his favorite games. He told me the truth that blind men can also find the beauty in life 60 they cannot enjoy the sights of the world.

In much of Asia, especially the so-called “rice bowl” cultures of China, Japan, Korea, 61 Vietnam, food is usually eaten with chopsticks.
Chopsticks are usually two long, thin pieces of wood or bamboo. They can also

The Chinese have used chopsticks for 5000 years. People probably cooked their food in large pots, 64 (use) twigs(树枝）to remove it.
