People love to celebrate. Whether it s a birthday or a wedding, we enjoy having a reason to relax and have a good time. This is especially true for festivals that welcome spring and summer. Here are some celebrations you may not know about.

Carabao is a buffalo(水牛) found in the Philippines, and the Carabao Festival is a day of dancing and revelry(狂欢)in May that celebrates the strong animal that plays such an important role in Filipinos farming economy. The animals are cleaned before a parade in which 20or more of them—many decorated with paint and colorful ribbons—walked through the streets.

Cooper’s Hill is a steep, grassy knoll(圆丘) near Gloucester, England, which is longer than a football field. Cooper’s Hill is a late May event in which participants race one another to beat a nine-pound cheese round to the bottom of the hill. The event attracts lots of contestants but is harder than it sounds. Lots of contestants bite the dust before they reach the finish line. The winner gets the cheese.

The Boryeong Mud Festival takes place each summer near Seoul, South Korea. Tons of mud are trucked from the Boryeong mud flats to a beach area near the event. People participate in lots of activities, including a mud pool, mud skiing and mudslides. By the time the celebration is over, anyone coated in soft or dried mud can take a short walk to the beach for a quick bath.

La Tomatina is an organized tomato fight that takes place in Bunol, Spain, every August. The festival’s origins are unclear, but that hasn’t lessened anyone’s enthusiasm. The battle lasts for about an hour, and participants have to throw squashed(挤烂的) tomatoes to reduce the risk of injury. After the fight, both the people and the streets are covered with tomato guts. Fire trucks then begin the difficult task of washing everything.

In 1973, I was teaching elementary school. Each day, 27 kids entered “The Thinking Laboratory.” That was the name students voted for after deciding that “Room 104” was too dull.

Freddy was an average student, but not an average person. He had the rare balance of fun and compassion(同情). He would laugh the loudest over fun and be the saddest over anyone’s misfortune.

Before the school year ended, I gave the kids a special gift, T-shirts with the words “Verbs Are Your Friends” on them. I had advised the kids that while verbs(动词)may seem dull, most of the fun things they do throughout their lives will be verbs.

Through the years, I’d run into former students who would provide updates on old classmates. I learned that Freddy did several jobs after his graduation from high school and remained the same caring person I met forty years before. Once, while working overnight at a store, he let a homeless man sleep in his truck. Another time, he lent a friend money to buy a house.

Just last year, I was conducting a workshop when someone knocked at the classroom door. A woman excused the interruption and handed me an envelope. I stopped teaching and opened it up. Inside were the “Verbs” shirt and a note from Freddy’s mother. “Freddy passed away on Thanksgiving. He wanted you to have this.”

I told the story to the class. As sad as it was, I couldn’t help smiling. Although Freddy was taken from us, we all took something from Freddy.

4. What do the underlined words “The Thinking Laboratory” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The elementary school where the kids studied. B. “Room104” in which the kids studied.

C. The workshop in which the kids carried out experiments. D. The high school which was fun as well as dull. 5. What can we learn about the author?

A. She hardly kept in touch with her former students. B. She wrote the passage in 2013 or so. C. She was very strict with her students.

D. She gave the kids special gifts after the school year. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Freddy? A. modest and daring. B. outstanding and calm. C. generous and creative. D. warm-hearted and caring. 7. What’s the author’s attitude towards Freddy?

A. Cautious. B. Disapproving. C. Uninterested. D. Appreciative.

C

The Liangzhu ruins in Hangzhou, pointing to an established Chinese civilisation 5,000years ago, have been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. Every Chinese child is taught at school that the country's civilisation is 5,000years old, but proving this beyond doubt has been a problem.

Now, a jade artifact(玉器) named “King of Cong”, found in the Liangzhu city ruins near Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, has provided an answer. According to radiocarbon dating(放射性碳定年法), the 6.5kg object is 5,300years old. It is one of the largest objects among all cong from Liangzhu. The piece has now won greater global recognition.

However, the site has far more than just things made of jade. The main area, spread over 14.3 square kilometers in the Yuhang area of Hangzhou, includes not only a city’s ruins but 11 dams and several cemeteries(墓地), all about 5,000years old. Archaeological facts show that people lived in Liangzhu for about a thousand years.

“The archaeological ruins of Liangzhu (3300-2300BCE) show an early state with a unified belief system based on growing rice in Late Neolithic China(中国新石器时代晚期).” the UNESCO World Heritage Committee said. “These ruins are an extremely good example of early city civilisation expressed in town planning, a water conservation system and a social order which can be seen in where and how people were buried in cemeteries within the ruins.”

According to studies led by Liu Bin, director of the Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Cultural

Relics and Archaeology, the inner part of the ancient city ruins covers 2.8 square kilometers, about five times the area of the Forbidden City in Beijing, and the outer city spreads across 6.3 square kilometers. Liu said it was the biggest city ruins site of its time to be found in China, and was also one of the largest cities of its day in the world.

8.________ can prove that China has a civilisation of 5,000years old?

A. The king named Cong. B. The archaeological ruins of Liangzhu. C. The UNESCO World Heritage Committee. D. The historical site at Hangzhou dam. 9. What do we know about the ancient Liangzhu city?

A. A different system of value in the region. B. The end of Chinese civilisation. C. The biggest city ruins all over the world. D. The whole area-9.1 square kilometers. 10. Why is the Forbidden City mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To focus on the great achievements.

B. To inform us of the importance about architecture. C. To stress the large scale of ancient Liangzhu city.

D. To present advanced technology and outstanding civilisation. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。

You know this: continuous learning and improvement are essential to our work and life. But your time is limited and there is only so much you can absorb at a given period. How does one learn faster and more effectively?

If knowledge is power, knowing how to learn effectively is the superpower. 11 Use them to absorb more information in a short time, understand content at a deeper level and carry out what you’ve learned effectively.

Increase desirable difficulty

Like building muscles, the harder you train, the stronger you get. So does learning. The harder your brain has to work to recall a memory, the greater you increase in learning.

This is what separates studying with practicing and testing. Practicing and testing are not equal to studying. They are greater than studying because it requires work to dig out the memory of what you’ve studied and learned.
