【题目】Every year, about 600 monkeys are invited to eat fruits and vegetables during an annual feast(盛宴)in Thailand.__ 【1】_It is said that Rama once rewarded his friend Hanuman, the Monkey King, with some land. Organizers of the annual Monkey Buffet use more than 3000kg of fruits and vegetables to prepare for the feast.

This event is held in England. Though it might sound very gentle, it is actually very dangerous.Running down a very steep hill behind a 7pound wheel of cheese can be very dangerous. In fact, the police have attempted to ban the event, but participants have refused to carry out the ban. Men and their cheese wheels cannot be separated so easily.__2__ Simple:the cheese is set rolling down the hill, and the racers run down the hill after the cheese. However, as the cheese can reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour, it rarely happens that someone catches the cheese. __3_

In this festival, grown men jump over newborns, with their parents' permission.__4_ This custom has been observed since 1620; any onlookers who seem to be in need of “cleaning” also get involved in the event.

_5_ This Naked (裸) Festival is held in dozens of places throughout Japan every year, usually in summer or winter. Hidden somewhere in these men is one fully naked man, and touching him is believed to bring good luck.

A.So what happens during a cheese roll?

B.It is held in honor of Rama, the greatest of the Gods.

C.This event is ver interesting.

D.The first to reach the bottom wins the cheese.

E.There is a Japanese festival where participants wear little clothing.

F.Everybody takes an active part in it.

G.Wearing scary costumes, the Spanish men attempt to “clean” babies of evil (邪恶).

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】D

【4】G

【5】E

【解析】

试题分析:本文介绍了泰国,英国和日本这三个国家存在的三个奇特的节日。

【1】B考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前句讲每年大约600只猴子都被邀请参加泰国的蔬菜和水果盛宴,后句提到据说Rama曾经犒劳了他的猴王朋友Hanuman一些土地。由此可推测B项(这是为了纪念Rama,最伟大的神的)符合题意。

【2】A考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下文Simplethe cheese is set rolling down the hill, and the racers run down the hill after the cheese.,判断A选项(那么,在奶酪车下滑的过程中,会发生什么呢?)符合语境。

【3】D考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上句: 几乎没人能抓住奶酪车,由此推测选项D(第一个到达底部的人将赢得奶酪)符合题意。

【4】G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。 根据上下文:成年人从新生儿头顶跳过:任何一个需要洗礼的人也可以参加这个活动。故选G(穿着可怕的服装,西班牙人想要对邪恶的婴儿进行洗礼)符合题意。

【5】E考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据后面这个赤裸节每年在日本几十个地区举行故选E(日本有一个参加者几乎不穿衣服的节日)符合题意。

【题目】阅读下面短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Speaking of campus clubs, people usually think of conventional ones like roller-skating or music clubs. But now, society and club culture is seeing more diversity, with students interests covering a wide field.

Yu joined the club a month ago after he saw a big paper elephant on display at the society and club recruiting fair (招新大会). “It was made by the club chairman, who s my age,” says Yu. “His work aroused my interest in origami (折纸).” According to Yu, the club was formed by a group of students who love the art of origami. “Though I ve never tried origami before, I m impressed by their love of it and I want to learn it myself,” he says.

Other than treating societies and clubs as a way of entertainment, some students now use them to broaden their horizons, help their studies, and prepare for a future career. Some societies and clubs like this include extra tuition clubs, straight-A student clubs, and start-up business clubs.

Cui Ye, 19, is the co-founder of the straight-A student club at Beihang University. The economics major student wanted to improve her academic performance, so she set up the study club together with her friends. “The club has attracted dozens of students. We urge each other to study hard and practise self-study activities after class,” says Cui. “I think the club has made studying less boring and difficult.”

【题目】Growing strawberries in pots

·The best way to start growing strawberries is to buy pot-grown strawberry plants in spring:5 plants are plenty for a hanging basket and 10 for the average 13 inch-sized pot.

·Plant them immediately in soil-based compost(混合肥料) and they will produce a modest crop in their first year.The second year should see a bumper(特大的)crop,followed by a slightly lower yield(产量)the third summer.Then start again with fresh stock

·Careful watering and feeding are essential If you are to harvest a good crop,you must never let the compost dry out, particularly when the fruit is forming and ripening;if you do.most of your crop will drop off血e bush almost immediately.

·A one-year-old tree is known as a “maiden”.It has a single stem when purchased.Immediately after planting, cut it back by about half to leave 4 good buds at the base of the stem.This will force growth from the base or the plant during the summer.

·In the second year ,prune in winter by cutting all side branches back by about one-third, Make sure each cut is made cleanly just above an outward-facing bud.In the third and fourth years, new side branches will have emerged from the previous year’s growth.Cut back all these new side branches by a third, pruning to an outward-facing bud.
