After 1993, 1997, 2000, 2004, and 201 8, this year's concert marked the 6th time that Riccardo Muti, whose close musical partnershipwith the Vienna Philharmonic has now extended about 50 years, had conducted the prestigious concert event.The 2021 New Year's Concert was broadcast in over 90 countries and followed by millions of television viewers around the world. The 2021 New Year's Concert took place without an audience.Due to ongoing high rates of infection, the Austrian Federal Government had decided that no concerts could be performed before audiences until January 6, 2021. Unfortunately, it also affected the Preview Performance on December 30, 2020, at 11 AM; the New Year's Eve Concert on December 31, 2020, at7:30 PM; and the New Year's Concert on January 1, 2021, at 11:15 AM.

On January 1, 1941, a Philharmonic matinee entitled Johann Strauss Concert" was performed. Clemens Krauss conducted the concerts. In the years 1946 and 1947, Josef Krips (1902-1974) replaced Krauss, who returned in 1948 and conducted seven more New Year's Concerts until 1954.With the unexpected death of Clemens Krauss on May 16, 1954, the orchestra decided, shortly before January 1, 1955, to entrust (委托) Willi Boskovsky with the artistic direction of the New Year's Concerts.1.

Understanding this process ofregeneration would help with the treatment of skin diseases and injuries such as burns.This week, a group of researchers led by Kenneth Poss of Duke University Medical Center in North Carolina, have announced a colorful new technique that should enhance such understanding. They call it " Skinbow"Skinbows themselves are an adaptation of an approach called. Brainbow" , which was invented almost a decade ago, and is used to label nerve cells different colors. Brainbow technology permits someone with an appropriate microscope to trace the connections that lots of individual nerve cells make with one another in the brain of a mouse.Dr. Poss's experimental animal is not a mammal but a fish: a zebra fish. Skinbow or Brainbow, the basic procedure is the same. Genetie engineering is used to create lines of animals whose genomes ( 基因组) contain multiple copies of genes for proteins that glow under ultraviolet rays (紫外线). These genes are controlled by DNA switches that are activated only in the appropriate tissue type -brain for Brainbows, skin for Skinbows. In the case of Skinbows, some of the proteins glow red, some glow green and some glow blue.At the moment Dr .Poss thinks his microscopes can distinguish 70 ~ 80 such colors. Moreover, unlike Brainbow technology , which requires that the animal be killed in order to see what is going on, a Skinbow is visible from the outside. Regenerative processes can be followed over an extended period.The researchers, for example, could observe in detail how a fish responds to injury. When they cut a fin from one of their charges, they were able to track cells moving to the site of the damage and helping to repair it. They also saw new cells rising from deeper layers of the skin to supplement those that had migrated to heal the injured fin. After two to three weeks, the fin hadregrown completely.The next stage will be to test how fish skin responds to diseases, and to drugs that might treat those diseases. In the fullness of time, the technology might be extended to look at skin regeneration in other species, mammals included. Even while restricted to fish, though, it is likely to produce useful insights into the process of regeneration- -not to mention the possibility of a nice little sideline (副业) in designing aquaria (水族管).1. Which of the following best explains ." slough off" underlined in Paragraph 1?A. Get rid of.B. Take advantage of.C. Adapt to.D. Rule out.2. What can we know about the Brainbow according to Paragraph 2?A.It is a colorful nerve cell.B. It was invented to trace the Skinbow.C. It can speed up the adaptation of the Skinbow.D. It helps detect connections between cells.3. Where do the Skinbow and the Brainbow differ?A. In their principles.B. In their complexity.C. In their continuity in observation.D. In their practicality in reality.4. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The process of skin regeneration.B. The limitations of the Skinbow.C. The prediction of a promising career.D. The possible applications of the Skinbow.D（2021 .福建恒一教育）We've long considered confusion that occurs when we don't understand something as a shortcoming.You re probably ОK. In fact, according to a new study, it isn't so much about being confused, but how we respond to that feeling matters. The study suggests some people make confusion work for them-making them learn more about something they don' t originally understand. Others, on the other hand, react to confusion by turning away from the subject completely. It all comes down to how people respond to the feelings of uncertainty and puzzlement.We have been investigating links between emotions and learning for almost a decade, and find that confusion can be beneficial to learning if appropriately regulated because it can cause learners to process the material more deeply in order to clear their confusion," explains lead author Sidney D'Mello.To test their theory, researchers invited some people to learn sessions that involved a complex idea. Then they intentionally increased the confusion. Interestingly, people who had reported higher rates of confusion were also better able to grasp the subject -and identify the scientific contradictions. Essentially, they had a positive reaction to confusion, using it as a motivation to wrap their heads around a subject. For them, confusion was a chance to learn something new.They proved what scientist Nick Hobson describes as а high degree of openness. Openness is associated with the experience of interest, absorption and wonderment," he says. Individuals higher in openness are fascinated by complex situations. It is characterized by a greater tolerance of uncertainty.' However, D'Mello cautions against deliberately sowing confusion in the context of learning. People already struggling to understand a concept--especially one that they' re under pressure to understand--may not benefit from the added confusion. Instead, confusion may work best for people who are actually looking for a challenge and don't face consequences of taking a chance to learn something new. Those would be the intellectual risk- takers who are encouraged, rather than discouraged by the feelings of confusion.1. How do some people benefit from confusion?A. They may find their shortcomings of learning.В. They may seek a solution quickly.C. They may identify their uncertain feelings.D. They may understand the subject better.2. What does Nick think of people higher in openness?A. They tolerate ambiguous situations more.B. They respond to confusion negatively.C. They are easy to get confused a lot.D. They feel at a loss for complex situations.3. What does D'Mello remind people not to do?A. Take a risk to try something new.B. Add confusion to learning on purpose.C. Face consequences of looking for a challenge.D. Risk being discouraged by confusion.4. What can be the best title for the text?A. How Confusion Affects Your CharacterB. What Confusion Means to YouC. Why Confusion May Be Good for YouD. Where Confusion Comes from二、七选五阅读（2021 浙江高考）You run into the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water. You get what you need, head to the front, and choose the line that looks fastest.You chose wrong. People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to the parking lot. _____1____It turns out, it's just math working against you; chances are, the other line really is faster.Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay. ____2____Any small interruption -a price check, a chatty customer-can have downstream effects, holding up an entire line.If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registers. Think about the probability:____3____ So it's not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long, snaking line- called a serpentine line - and serve each person at the front with the next available register. ____4____ This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall.____5____It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores can't afford the space or manpower. So wherever your next wait may be: Good luck.A. Why does this always seem to happen to you?B. So why don't most places encourage serpentine lines?C. Some of the may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.D. The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.E. How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line?F. With three registers, this method is much faster than the traditional approach.G. But sometimes, as on a Sunday afternoon, the system gets particularly busy.【答案】A篇[分析]本文是一篇应用文。

第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）AMany of us have heard of the saying: everything is possible if you can just believe.But few of us really know the power of faith and perseverance.South African swimmer Natalie du Toit embodies those virtues.Du Toit, 24, became the first swimmer to compete in both the Olympic Games and the Paralympics(残奥会) in Beijing.Although she finished 16th in the tough 10km marathon in the ablebodied Games , she has collected three golds in the Paralympics so far.One of the most successful disabled athletes of all time, Natalie du Toit was alreadya promising swimmer when she lost her leg in a motorcycle accident in 2001, at just 17.“There are a lot of dark moments ,” du Toit said.“There are some days when I cry.But I try to remember that better days are ahead.You just go on.”Within a few months, she was back in the swimming pool.She still competes and still succeeds.The only difference is that she has switched to longer events —from 200m and 400m individual medley to 800m and 1,500m freestyle —to make up for her loss of speed with only one leg.But she made no adjustment to her mental outlook(精神面貌).“Going out in the water , it feels as if there’s nothing wrong with me.It doesn’t matter if you look different.You’re still the same as everybody else because you have thesame dream.”She is the owner of many world records, and she also won gold when competing against ablebodied swimmers in the 1,500m freestyle at the All Africa Games in 2007.But there is no magic recipe for success.It all comes down to hard work and determination.“She is stubborn , which is good and bad,”said her coach Karoly Von Toros.“Good for the swimming , but bad for the coach.”There is a poem that hangs on her wall that reads:Thetragedyoflifedoesnotlieinnotreachingyourgoals; Thetragedyoflifeliesinnothavinggoalstoreachfor .21. Natalie du Toit is a vivid example that________. A. you are what you believe B. your biggest enemy is yourselfC. results are not so important as the processD. you must set reasonable goals or you will fail22. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “embodies” in the first paragraph? A. Makes.B. Creates.C. Represents.D. Introduces.23. Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Natalie du Toit?a. She won gold at the All Africa Games.b. She finished 16th in the tough 10km marathon in the Olympics.c. She adjusted herself to long events.d. A motorcycle accident disabled her. A. cdabB. dcbaC. dcabD. dacb24. In dark moments it was ________ that pushed her on. A. her coachB. her familyC. hope and faithD. her love ofswimmingB此卷只装订不密封班级姓名准考证号 考场号 座位号Texting while driving, and speeding aren’t all that parents need to worry abou t when their kids are incars: Add secondhand smoke to the list.In the first national estimate of its kind, a report from government researchers says more than 1 in 5 high school students and middle schoolers ride in cars while others are smoking.This kin d of secondhand smoke exposure has been linked with breathing problems and allergy symptoms, and more restrictions are needed to prevent it, the report says.With widespread crackdowns on smoking in public, private places including homes and cars are wher e people encounter secondhand smoke these days.Antismoking advocates have zeroed in on cars because of research showing they’re potentially more dangerous than smokefilled bars and other less confined areas.The study is based on national surveys done at public and private high schools and middle schools.Students were asked how often they rode in cars while someone was smoking within the past week.The most common answer was one or two days.The smoker could mean other kids or parents.“Thereisnoriskfreelevelofexposuretosecondhandsmoke.”the CDC says.“The car is the only source of exposure for some of these children, so if you can reduce that exposure, it’s definitely advantageous for health.”King said.The CDC advises parents not to allow smoking in their homes and cars, and says opening a car window will not protect kids from cigarette smoke inside.Measures banning smoking in cars when children are present have been enacted in a handful of states and proposed in several others.The study authors say similar bans should be adopted elsewhere.24. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Speeding.B. Riding in cars.C. Texting while driving.D. Secondhand smoke.25. The attitude of King towards banning smoking in cars was________.A. doubtfulB. neutralC. supportiveD. disapproving26. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Many Kids Smoke While Driving a CarB. More Kids Complain About Smoking in CarsC. Kids Are Exposed to Secondhand Smoke a LotD. Too Many Kids Breathe Others’ Smoke in CarsCI was desperately nervous about becoming car-free.But eight months ago our car was hit by a passing vehicle and it was destroyed.No problem, I thought:we’ll buy another.But the insurance payout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loan, we’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as £600 a month.And that’s when I had my fancy idea.Why not just give up having a car at all?I live in London.We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street.A new car club had just opened in our area, and one of its shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby.If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family.But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family.My teenage daughters were horrified.What would their friends think about our familybeing“too poor to afford a car”?(I wasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the same approach.)My friends, too, were astonished at our plan.What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital?(an ambulance) How would the children get to and from their many events?(buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity.Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again.The idea that you“have to”own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in themind.I liveand many other citizens do tooin a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher.We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off asking something much more basic:do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.28. The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ________.A.most families chose to go car-freeB.he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC.the cost of a new car was too muchD.the traffic jam was unbearable for him29. What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?A. SupportiveB. DisapprovingC. OptimisticD. Unconcerned30. What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’opinion?A.Argue against it.B. Take their advice．C.Think it over.D.Leave it alone.31. What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A.Life cannot go without a car.B.Life without a car is a little bit hard.C.His life gets improved without a car.D.A car-free life does not suit everyone.DSociety tells us that we should count our blessings, focus on all that we have and feel grateful for what we’ve been given.But there is nothing wrong with“healthy discontent”.In fact, healthy discontent is what motivates us to improve ourselves and our circumstances.Without this feeling, life’s easier to stand still.I always have a certain level of discomfort.That discomfort drives me to work hard at my job.I don’t just want to remain where I am.Professi onally, I want to keep getting better.Likewise, I always have a certain amount of discontent with my home.That drives me to always try to improve it by makingit look better.My feelings of discontent with my job and my home don’t mean that I don’t apprecia te them.It’s an incredible blessing to be able to work and be paidfor one’s efforts.Similarly, if you live in a safe place, with running water, heating, and air conditioning, you are incredibly fortunate.These are not the things to be taken for granted.However, we should be striving(力争)to improve.If you happen to be good at playing the piano, you should work to continually improve your skills.The same holds true for our personal development.If you have areas in your personality that need improvement, you should work on them, too.For instance, I can be very impatient. As a result, I work hard to try to conquer that flaw(缺点) by keeping my impatience to myself.When we feel discontent with ourselves, we have to be honest with ourselves.It’s easy to make excus es for our bad behavior, but we need to face our discontent and say to ourselves, “I need to work on this.”This week, consider whether you have healthy discontent in your life.Have you become so settled in your life that you don’t see regular improvement?Do you have a character flaw that you wish you didn’t have? Don’t ignore these things.Instead, take steps to address your areas of discontent and keep improving your life every day.No matter how great we think things are going, there’s always room for improvement.32. What is stressed in Paragraph1?A.The gratitude for what we have.B.The importance of healthy discontent.C.The lessons from society.D.The easiness of standing still in life.33. Why does the author have feelings of discontent with his job and home?A.He doesn’t treasure them.B.He is particular about them.C.He desires to improve them.D.He is difficult to satisfy.34. What does the author advise you to do if you have personal flaws?A.Leave them as they are.B.Make efforts to overcome them.C.Make excuses for them.D.Be patient with ourselves.35. How does the author support his view mostly?A.By listing some questions.B.By telling his own experiences.C.By analyzing various causes of healthy discontent.D.By showing consequences of healthy discontent.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。

Edward Snowden is an American computer professional and former American National Security Agency subcontractor, who blew the whistle about many of his employer's immoral activities. The reason he gave was that "their practices were disturbing" and he thought it was the right thing to show the world what CIA (美中情局) was up to. He revealed that NSA (美国安局) was included in some domestic spying practices, which he thought were viola-tion of privacy and spent several years collecting evidences. Snowden, worrying his safety, fled to Hong Kong and met with a reporter from "The Guardian" to get his findings printed, shocking the world, especially the USA. Presently, Snowden is staying in Russia and stands strongly with his decision of leaking the documents. A documentary made on his life and works, titled "Citizenfour" won an Oscar in 2015.

It is the time of year when warmer weather begins. People celebrate the coming of summer with customs that are expressions of joy and hope after a long winter. Today, May Day activities have been moved to the May Day holiday on the first Monday of the month. It is a public holiday when families take advantage of the time off to visit some of the UK's many attractions, including parks, zoos, historic buildings, ancient towns and villages and beautiful countryside.May Day celebrations have their origins in the Roman festival of Flora, the goddess of fruit and flowers, which marked the beginning of summer. People would decorate their houses and villages with leaves and flowers they picked at daybreak in the belief that the vegetation spirits would bring good luck. In the very early morning, young girls went into the fields and washed their faces with dew (露水). They believed this made them very beautiful for the following year.May Day was an important day in the Middle Ages and was a favorite holiday of many English villages. People of the time used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer. This is the origin of the maypole (五月柱). People danced around them in celebration of the end of winter. Maypoles were once common all over England and were kept from one year to the next. The tallest maypole is said to have been put up in London on the Strand in 1661. It stood more than 143 feet high and was cut down in 1717, when it was used by Newton to support a new reflecting telescope (反射式望远镜) invented by Dutch scientist Huygens.18.

It is sponsored by the Master's Degree Program in Reading and Storytelling at East Tennessee State University. The sole purpose of this event is to promote and encourage both the art and science of storytelling among middle school and high school students. Although this event is competitive, its underlying intent and goal is to provide students across the nation with a reason to practice numerous noncompetitive skills.Those skills include skillful sportsmanship, responsible behaviour, and an attitude of respect for others and the storytelling genre. The eventual goal of the National Storytelling Youth Olympics is to encourage every classroom in America to discover (or rediscover) the beauty of storytelling and story performance.The National Storytelling Youth Olympics takes place usually around the first weekend in March. Students from all over the country arrive by bus, plane, or automobile in Johnson City, Tennessee. They usually arrive on Thursday or Friday. Those that arrive on Thursday take advantage of their early arrival by telling stories at local: schools. On Friday, an evening meal is prepared for all contestants, coaches, and parents. Games are played, stories are told, and lifetime friendships begin. Saturday is the day of the big event. A luncheon (午餐会) is held in the afternoon so contestants can familiarize themselves with the surroundings and do a sound check.The event is divided into three categories separated by grades. Contestants are judged not only by their storytelling performance, but also by the attitude and behaviour they display during the entire weekend. A winner is picked from each of the three categories; however, there is an overall winner who is granted the name of Grand Torch Bearer. This person is selected not only by the judges, but also by the contestants. After the winners have been announced, the contestants retreat back to their hotel where a celebratory ice cream party is held; and believe it or not, they tell more stories! This is what the National Storytelling Youth Olympics is all about: developing a love for the art of storytelling.22. Which of the following sets of words best describes the grand Torch Bearer?petitive, ambitious, talentedB.respectful, responsible, skilledC.athletic, determined, creativeD.imaginative, individualistic, pessimistic23. Why would someone MOST LIKELY choose to attend the National Storytelling Youth Olympics?A.To refine storytelling skills while meeting new friends.B.To compete fiercely with the best storytellers in the country.C.To earn money and fame.D.To develop one's personal skill in lecture only.24.

2022年高考英语一轮复习：节假日活动分类阅读话题练习题10节假日活动(Festivals, holidays and celebrations)一、阅读理解-阅读选择(共10小题；共82分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
My friend Rosemary was driving home last night when her car broke down suddenly. Luckily, she found a car insurance bill and called the insurance company with her very old mobile phone. "I need the long number on the front of your bill," said the lady of the insurance company. However, Rosemary didn't take her glasses and couldn't read her bill in the dark with her poor sight.Fortunately, an elderly man with his little dog stopped to help her. "Wait a moment," Rosemary said to the lady. "A gentleman has offered to help me. He'll read it." "No, no!" shouted (he shocked lady. "Do not show your bill number to a stranger!" But Rosemary had no choice. So she let the stranger read out the numbers, and she spelled out her unusual family name. Because of the man's unclear voice, the accent differences between the man and the lady, and Rosemary's bad sight and hearing, communication was difficult.Finally, the lady asked Rosemary what street they were in. Again, they had no idea. So Rosemary had to stop a passing youth. Experiencing more spelling of street names and confusion, everyone got a bit angry. At last, the rescuers could be sent to help Rosemary with her car.Rosemary's situation kept her going through the similar sufferings. In fact, all of this also goes to show why some older people are not happy with the development of technology. They need their cards, smart phones, glasses and patience before they dare go out. Otherwise, they maybe can't get the service needed. So some are thinking: why bother going out? They can do all things online: shopping, ordering food, and receiving medical advice. They can just stay at home alone forever and make nobody mad.But don't worry. Although it may take you quite a while (o get the service you want, there are always kind people around you, just like the passers-by for Rosemary. They arc all willing to give you a helping hand. But remember, you'd better bring all the possible things needed with you before walking out of the door. Getting prepared is always the best advice.1.What should Rosemary show to get service from the insurance company?A.Her driver's license.B.Her car type.C.Her insurance bill number.D.Her mobile phone number.2.The lady of the insurance company shouted to Rosemary because Rosemary ______ .A.couldn't read the insurance billB.refused to follow the lady's adviceOnce Mr Parker heard from a soldier. In the letter the young man said the food in their military camp was very bad and he wished the general could go to find out the reasons, the old man went there at once,without telling anybody. He went in the kitchen and examined everything carefully and found it was very dirty. Then he went in the soldiers' bedrooms and found there were a lot of fleas. He became angry and asked the soldiers, "What do you think of your food, young men?"The soldiers saw their officer standing by the general and said nothing. Only a new soldier said, "Very bad, sir!""What did you have for lunch today?" asked Mr Parker."A fried chicken, sonic fish and pork, a cake, six eggs and I had three cups of wine.""Really?" Mr Parker called out in surprise. "ICs the King's lunch, I think!""So do I, General," said the young man. "But it's my birthday today. I paid three hundred dollars for them all in the restaurant!"30.Mr Parker became a general because _____ .A.he was born in a poor familyB.he didn't forget his terrible pastC.hc fought with the enemies bravelyD.the soldiers listened to him31.Mr Parker was respected because ____ .A.he was strict with the officersB.he cared about his soldiersC.he was friendly to everybodyD.he paid attention to the soldiers letters32.Mr Parker went to the military camp to ______ .A.look for the soldier who wrote to himB.punish the cooksC.inspect (he kitchensD.find out if the matter in the letter was true33.The soldiers didn't say anything because _____ .A.they were afraid of the generalB.they thought their foods were goodC.the officer followed the generalD.the general didn't agree with them34.Which of the following is true?A.Mr Parker found nothing in the military camp.B.The new soldier had a birthday dinner in the restaurant.C.The officer wanted to frighten the soldiers.D.The general no longer believed the soldiers.The day began early.An agreement had been made with the little boys the evening before. They were to be allowed to celebrate the Fourth of July, the glorious day, by the blowing of horns exactly al sunrise. But they were to blow them for precisely five minutes only, and no sound of the horns should be heard afterward till the family were downstairs. It was thought that a peace might thus be brought by a short, though crowded, period of noise.The morning came. Even before the morning, at half-past three o'clock, a terrible blast of the horns aroused the whole family.The number of the horns was most remarkable! It was as though every cow in the place had arisen and was blowing through both her own horns! "How many little boys are there? How many have we?" exclaimed Mr. Pcterkin, going over their names one by one mechanically thinking he would do it, as he might count imaginary sheep jumping over a fence, to put himself to sleep. The counting could not put him to sleep now, in such a loud noise.And how unexpectedly long the five minutes seemed! Elizabeth Eliza was to take out her watch and give the signal for the end of the five minutes, and the ceasing of the horns. Why did not the signal come? Why did not Elizabeth Eliza slop them?And certainly it was long before sunrise; there was no dawn to be seen! "Wc'U not try (his plan again," said Mrs. Peterkin. "If we live to another Fourth," added Mr. Peterkin, hurrying to the door to inquire into the state of affairs.Alas! Amanda, by mistake, had waked up the little boys an hour too early. And by another mistake the little boys had invited three or four of their friends to spend the night with them. Mrs. Peterkin had given them permission to have the boys for the whole day, and they understood the day as beginning when they went to bed the night before. This accounted for the number of horns.It would have been impossible to hear any explanation; but the five minutes were over, and the horns had ceased, and there remained only (he noise of a singular leaping of feet, explained perhaps by a possible pillow-fight, that kept the family below partially awake until the bells and cannon made known the drowning of the glorious day, the sunrise, or "the rising of the sons," as Mr. Peterkin jokingly called it when they heard the little boys and their friends clattering down the stairs to begin the outside festivities.35.According to the passage, which event happened first?A.Mr. Peterkin noted how many boys there were.B.The Peterkins were awakened by the boys.C.Elizabeth gave the signal to slop the honis.D.Mr. Peterkin exclaimed how many boys they had.36.What did the 7th paragraph talk about?A.The place where the boys blew their horns.B.The lime when Elizabeth Eliza stopped them.C.Thc way how the boys blew their horns.D.The reason why more horns were over there.37.The probable main idea of this passage is that _____ .A.the little boys didn't carry out the agreement thoroughly.B.the little boys didn't see the signal to stop blowing their horns.C.the little boys blew homs to greet the dawn of July 4th so early.D.the Peterkins enjoyed children's blowing of the homs on July 4th.38.Which question is not answered in the story?A.When did the horn blowing begin?B.How long ago did the custom start?C.Why did the boys blow the horns in the morning?D.How did the Peterkins feel about the horn blowing?Glastonbury FestivalTime and place: 22nd——26th June, Pilton, Somcrse.
