AA Look at the Festival This Summer21．What is the most exciting part of Sheep Music?A．The garden party．B．The advertisement．C．The family feel．D．The parade．22．If you want to take your children to a festival，which one is the best choice?A．The Firegathering．B．Sheep Music．C．The Big Chill．D．Summer Sundae．23．What is the similarity of these festivals?A．They entertain attendants with music．B．They have a long history．C．They need advance booking．D．They can be compared with Glastonbury．BWhen you attend children’s birthdays or a long-expected family holiday，we usually want to keep those important moments in mind with a photograph．But if you’re one of those people who can’t stop snapping photos at an important event，beware—you could end up forgetting it all in a flash．Experts have warned that the addiction to recording every moment of our lives could behaving an adverse effect on our memories．Maryanne Garry，a New Zealand psychology professor，has been studying how the frequent taking of photos might change childhood memories．“I think the problem is that people are forgetting to experience the moment，”she says．Parents at the park taking one photo after another of their children，for example，are actually paying less attention to what is happening around them．The picture only captures a small part of the total experience．And because parents remember less about these important events，they become less effective in their role as the key people who help children learn how to talk about their experiences．As a result，children’s own childhood memories are reduced．The idea that we are experiencing less as we record more got psychologist Linda Henkel thinking．She wanted to explore how photographs shape our memories．Henkel，who researches human memory at Fairfield University in Connecticut，did an experiment by sending groups of students to the university’s art museum．The students observed some objects and photographed others．Then，back at the laboratory，they were given a memory test．Henkel found what she called a“photo-taking effect”．The students remembered fewer of the objects that they had taken photos of，and they remembered fewer details about those objects．She says her students’memories were worse because they were relying on the camera to remember the details for them．“As soon as you hit‘click’on that camera，it’s as if you’ve outsourced your memory，”she says.24．ne underlined word“it”in Paragraph 1 refers to ____________．A．an important event B．a child’s birthdayC．a valuable photograph D．a family holiday25．According to Paragraph 3，why are children’s memories reduced?A．Flash lights are causing children to forget more things．B．Parents are not interested in listening to children’s experiences．C．Children are more interested in taking photos than experiencing．D．Parents are less effective in helping children discuss their experiences．26．How did Henkel develop her theory about the“photo-taking effect”?A．By carrying out an experiment．B．By giving a questionnaire．C．By interviewing a group of students．D．By researching the findings of the others．27．What’s the purpose of this passage?A．To introduce a new discovery in taking photos．B．To discuss the effect of photo-taking on memory．C．To explain how to use cameras in an effective way．D．To describe the ways of remembering valuable experiences．CCharacters in novels don’t always do what the writer wants them to do．Sometimes they cause trouble，take on lives of their own，or even work against the writer．It’s not just a problem for inexperienced authors：famed children’s novelist Roald Dahl said he got the main character in his book Matilda so“wrong”that when he’d finished his first version，he threw it away and started again．Of course it，s not the characters’fault．The problem lies with the author．Take Stephen King，who admitted that writing working-class characters is more difficult nowadays because his own circumstances have changed．“It is definitely harder，”King said．“When I wrote Carrie many years ago，I was one step away from physical labour．”This is also true for characters’ages．added King．“When you have small children，it is easy to write young characters because you observe them and you have them in your life all the time．But your kids grow up．It’s been harder for me to write about this little 12-year-old girl in my new book because my models are gone．”For other authors．such as Karen Fowler，there’s one quality that can stop a character in its tracks：boredom．“I had particular problems with the main character in my historical novel Sister Noon,”she says．“She had attitudes about race and religion that seemed appropriate to me for her time and class，but they were not attitudes I liked．Eventually I grew quite bored with her．You can wtite a book about a character you dislike or a character you disagree with，but I don’t think you can write a book about a character who bores you．”According to Neel Mukherjee，it was Adinath，a character in The Lives of Others，who made him work the hardest．“I think I struggled because it’s difficult to write a character whose most prominent personal feature is weakness，as Adinath’s is，without making that feature define him，”Mukherjee says．But a troublesome character is far from an unwelcome guest，he continues，arguing that“when characters work against the author they come alive and become unpredictable”．“That is a fantastic thing to happen，”Mukherjee says．“I celebrate it．It is one of the great，lucky gifts given to a writer．”28．What can we infer about Stephen King’s book Carrie?A．It was his most difficult book to write．B．It was the first successful novel King wrote．C．There were few children featured in the story．D．Some of its main characters were working class．29．Why did Karen Fowler have trouble writing the main character in her novel Sister Noon? A．She disagreed with the character's attitudes．B．The age difference between the two was too large．C．She found the character very uninteresting．D．The historical setting made accuracy difficult．30．Neel Mukherjee believes that his difficult-to-write characters ______________．A．are a sign that the story is not realisticB．are often the most interestingC．should be praised by all authorsD．need to be researched more thoroughly31．In which part of the newspaper would you expect to find the passage? A．Careers．B．Culture．C．Entertainment．D．Lifestyle．DAre you the type of person who always says“yes”?I've come to lea rn that it is very important to learn to say NO!It’s okay．People are still going to like you．They may even respect you more because they know you are honest．I am not saying to say“no”to someone who really needs your help．I'm talking about refusing that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don’t want to be a guest at．Think for a mome nt how you feel when you say YES to something that you really don’t want to do．If you’re like I once was，you can’t sleep at night and you think about it too much．It weighs on your mind．You try to find ways out. Whatever you’re saying to yourself，if you really wanted to go，you wouldn’t have all of these thoughts．So，why not just say NO from the beginning?Maybe you feel like if you don’t show up at the meeting(by the way，it is not one you must attend)your boss isn’t going to like you or your coworkers won’t respect you．Maybe you feel as if your mom，dad or sisters won’t love you as much if you don’t do everything for them that they ask every occasion．If these people are your true friends，family members，or a good boss，they will like or love you the same no matter what．People treat you the way you teach them to，and if you’re someone who always says“yes”then that’s what they’re expecting．You need to do what is right for you．Of course we do have real obligations in life to fulfill，but we do not have to do everything others want us to do．32．Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?A．We should try to do what our friends ask us to do．B．We should help others in need．C．Always saying“yes”means you are dishonest.D．Always saying“no”means you are brave．33．What does the underlined word“It”in Paragraph 3 refer to？A．Saying“yes”．B．A friend’s birthday party．C．Something you’re unwilling to do．D．Something you think difficult to do.34．The writer believes that if you say“no”to your family members，you’ll_____________. A．have the same relationship with them as beforeB．have a loose relationship with themC．disappoint themD．upset them35．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Learn to Make a Right Choice B．To Be YourselfC．Do What You Want to Do D．Learn to Say No第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
