Food Festivals Around the World
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors’ lane(赛道). Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
Fiery Foods Festival — The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10, 000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction-food that is not just spicy(辛辣的), but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper — officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing’s for sure-if you don’t like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn’t for you!
La Tomatina —The World’s Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts La Tomatina-the world’s largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week’s events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes — official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.
The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50, 000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again — and for a much-needed wash!

Each year people are crazy about different ceremonies. Many graduation ceremonies look special and different. But for Melody, it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond. They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and graduated together.
Pat took her first college class 42 years ago. After one semester, she dropped out to move to Chattanooga, where she spent the next several decades working as an accountant and raising a family. While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired. She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move to study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College. They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility.
Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTC’s 2020 class. The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity.
“We are so proud to have graduates like Melody and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven, UTC Chancellor. “Together, they personify the determination, commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate.”
Pat hopes that she can be an example to other non-traditional college students who want to get their degrees. “Learning never stops,” Pat said. “That’s something that my father taught me when I was young. No matter what you do, learning never stops.” Pat isn’t planning to stop anytime soon. She’s already working on another degree-a bachelor’s degree in history.
Meanwhile, her granddaughter, who is hunting jobs, is interested in getting a master’s degree in clinical psychology so she can become a lawyer. But she says she’s in no rush. Her nanna has taught her that she has plenty of time.
24. Why was Melody’s graduation ceremony so special?
A. Because her grandmother graduated alongside her.
B. Because her grandmother was 75 years old.
C. Because it looked quite different from others.
D. Because she celebrated it with all her classmates.
25. What can we know about Pat’s family?
A. They are anxious to be celebrities.
B. They prefer attending non-traditional colleges.
C. They never stop creating opportunities.
D. They support and encourage each other.
26. What does the underlined word “personify” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Repeat.
B. Represent.
C. Identify.
D. Follow.
27. Which of the following can best describe Pat Ormond’s story?
A. Love me, love my dog.
B. Passion gives life power.
C. A good beginning is half done.
D. It’s never too late to learn.
C
In the Beijing Winter Olympics, we were treated to incredible displays of athleticism(运动才能) as competitors took to the snow and ice. As a popular sport at the Winter Olympics, ski jumping is one of the best examples to show the “superhuman” power of athletes.
Ski jumpers soar into the air and appear to be almost flying in the sky. How do they achieve this? Physics can offer us an explanation of how they achieve this goal. It involves the application of the laws of aerodynamics(空气动力学) to fight against gravity and increase lift while reducing drag.
To understand how ski jumping works, we need to consider three elements: gravity, lift and drag. Gravity is the force that pulls us towards an object, such as the Earth. Lift occurs when an object is moving through the air — as its surface comes into contact with air particles(微粒), the particles are pushed down and away from the object, allowing it to move up. At the same time, this interaction creates drag, or resistance, and slows down an object’s movement.
While there is nothing that the skiers can do about gravity, they can twist their bodies into positions that allow them to achieve greater lift and avoid as much drag as possible. According to the Smithsonian Magazine,” to do this, athletes align(调整) their skis and body nearly parallel(平行的) to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form of the body. This position increases the surface area that generates lift and puts them in the ideal angle of attack(迎角) that will also maximize lift.”
Because of how the sport works, athletes’ equipment is strictly controlled according to weight and height in order to avoid any unfair advantages. This means suits must be tight in order to ensure athletes cannot use them as a way to gain more lift.
For athletes, minor day-to-day water weight changes as little as 300 grams. It can mean that suits will not be tight enough according to their body mass indexes.
28. What contributes to lift in ski jumping?
A. The force of gravity.
B. The upward force of air.
C. The interaction between athletes and air particles.
D. The interaction between air particles.
29. Which of the following is NOT a technique used by ski jumpers in order to achieve the best performance?
A. Keep their bodies parallel to the ground.
B. Maximize the angle of attack.
C. Keep their skis aligned with the ground.
D. Position their skis in a V-shape when they jump.
30. What rule is adopted to ensure fair play in ski jumping?
A. Equipment must match an athlete’s weight and height.
B. Athletes must strictly control their weight.
C. Athletes are grouped according to their body mass indexes.
D. Standardized equipment is used to avoid unfair advantages.
31. What’s the main idea of the article?
A. The techniques used by ski jumpers.
B. Some rules of the ski jumping competition.
C. The scientific principles behind ski jumping.
D. How the laws of aerodynamics work in sports.

We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends in the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become virtual extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends?
In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no need to be tech-savvy(精通技术的). However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.
These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.
It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before.
A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “ When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to exert their independence.”
Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list.
32. Many parents teach themselves social networks because _____________.
A. they are not content with their daily life
B. they regard social networks important
C. they are curious to explore new technologies
D. they want to view their children’s online activities
33. What might be the reason for teens to reject their parents’ request?
A. They can’t choose friends around them.
B. They have nothing to hide.
C. They don’t want to teach their parents.
D. Their privacy can not be guaranteed if so.
34. A recent survey suggested that _____________.
A. teens value their privacy and independence
B. a teen’s rejection means they have something to hide
C. a teen’s rejection means nothing special
D. independence is everything teens desire
35. What is most likely to be talked about next?
A. How to bridge the generation gap.
B. How to make friends on social networks.
C. How to explain to parents about the rejection.
D. How to use the social networking sites.

As the designer of a Paralympic mascot of 2022 Beijing Olympics, Jiang Y ufan has experienced the most unforgettable life for the past four years. 36
Born in 1998 in Yichun, Heilongjiang province, Jiang Yufan was influenced by the strong festive atmosphere in her hometown, where red lanterns hang everywhere.
As a junior student at the Jilin University of Arts then, Jiang said her original design was a deer, but she later discovered that many of her peers were also using deer in their designs. So she changed it and drew a Chinese knot and a dumpling instead. 37 Then Jiang revised her design again, and in 2018 she submitted the first draft of her now winning entry — a Chinese knot and a red lantern — both referring to Chinese culture.
Then the process of revising and improving it was demanding. One difficulty was how to make a lantern look more alive. Ideas to add antlers and wings to the lantern failed to satisfy either the designer or her team. Finally, they decided to make the lantern patterned, adding doves and the outline of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing.
38 Additionally, the team added a splash of snow across Shuey Rhon Rhon’s face to make its eyes stand out. And the area around the Olympic emblem is able to glow. Altogether, her team shuttled between Changchun and Beijing more than 30 times between late 2018 and 2019, to show their drafts to the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, and often worked very late into the night. 39 Finally last August in 2019, she and her team got the very good news from Beijing. Their hard work had paid off, and Shuey Rhon Rhon was to be the official mascot for the 2022 Beijing Paralympic Games.
Jiang really hopes her lantern will warm the world and light up people’s dreams. It’s a sentiment in line with the spirit of the Olympics and a necessary function of a good design. 40 The first “rhon” implies inclusiveness, and the second implies integration. Jiang hopes that once the Games open, Shuey Rhon Rhon will become just as popular as Bing Dwen Dwen, this year’s Winter Olympic mascot, lighting up the lives of billions around the world who will watch its athletes inspire and excite.

Emily White was born seventeen years ago with so many birth problems in her body. Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.
In Emily White’s hometown, there was a yearly outdoor performance in the school auditorium(礼堂). It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town’s people.
Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It could only include the most excellent people in the field.
Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens — her music teacher to ask to join in the
performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a look at Amy’s body and said, “Child, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too.”
Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral (合唱的) room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired. This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Buttler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try.
Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated a little about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Buttler called, “Emily, you’re next.” Although kind of nervous, Emily did as Mr. Buttler told her to do. Mr. Buttler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Buttler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day.
Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn’t fit, and was eager for others’ acceptance. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain because of stress.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右：
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room.
Finally, the day of performance came.

Promoting Chinese Classics
Chinese classics are important to shape our national identity and build our national pride. However, nowadays those classic books have become less and less popular among teenagers.
All parties in the school should join their hands to promote Chinese classics. First of all, students should attach more importance to reading books instead of spending time in front of a screen. Besides, teachers can help students build their own clubs of Chinese classics. Last but not least, to raise students’ interests, the school can hold more competitions or activities about Chinese classics.
Chinese classics carry the essence of traditional Chinese culture. Only with the joint efforts can we protect and promote traditional Chinese culture.

The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. Hands sweating and heart racing, she examined the list from the very end to the top. So nervous was she that she even held her breath for a bit. Finally, much to her amazement, she found her name was posted on the top. That’s the moment Emily felt not being rejected but accepted. The following days, although feeling sorry for herself occasionally, she made the best efforts to do rehearsals. Her beautiful voice and incomparable singing skills even made her the leading singer.
Finally, the day of performance came. As the curtains rose and the spotlight shot on Emily, there was an explosion of chaos. Apparently, it was from the audience, teasing and gossiping because of Emily’s recognizable strange body figure. Emily took a deep breath to contain her nervousness. The moment her voice flew in the air, the chaos turned to a sudden cheer. Eyes were back to Emily, a shining “diamond” on stage. When the song was over, applause was everywhere. No one expected her to succeed, but she did make it. Now, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance.。
