I prefer a flat in Inverness to       in Perth , because I want to live near my Mom’s .

A. one     B. that         C. it       D. this

【详解】考查代词的用法。one表示泛指，相当于“a(an)+名词”，代替的是同类事物中的“一个”；that表示特指，相当于“the+名词”；it所代替的是前面提到过的同一事物；this表示近指。故选答案A。

 In the dark forests ________ some large enough to hold several English towns.

   A. stand many lakes                                    B. lie many lakes

   C. many lakes lie                    D. many lakes stand

【详解】本题考查倒装结构，完全倒装。同时stand 和lie的区别。stand是突出的，lie是平躺的，湖不可能是突出的，所以此题应该选择lie。

We all love festivals. But since culture develops differently in many places, some festivals are, to us, very strange. Let’s take a look at some unique(独特的)festivals around the world.

Cheese Rolling Festival (England)

The festival started in the 15^th century in May. When a round cheese is rolled, competitors run down the hill and try to catch it before it reaches the bottom. As the cheese can reach speeds of up to 112 km/h, it’s rare that someone catches the cheese. First to the bottom wins the cheese. But running down a very steep(陡峭的) hill behind a cheese can be dangerous. Eight people were injured in 1992.

Roswell UFO festival (New Mexico, US)

The Roswell UFO festival celebrates the anniversary(纪念日) of the “Roswell Incident”, when a UFO was said to have crashed(坠毁) nearby. Every year in July, experts, authors, researches and lecturers come to discuss the incident. The celebration also includes an alien parade, an alien costume contest, and an alien hot air balloon ride.

Hemingway Days (Florida, US)

This festival has normal stuff (材料，东西) like short-story readings and exhibits about the author. But the highlight (亮点) of the festival is definitely (一定地) the Hemingway look alike contest.
