Fire has been known for its powerful energy and is used in both ancient and modern ceremonies.Festivals about fire are celebrated all around the world.You can learn about some of them below.
The Torch (火把) Festival
The Torch Festival takes place from the 24th to the 26th of lunar June every year in China.It is an important traditional festival of the Yi,Naxi,and Bai ethnic people in Southwestern China.For 3 days,the people carry burning torches and take part in a variety of activities.Fruits,fireworks and lanterns are all festively hung around the torch.
The Burning Man Festival
The Burning Man Festival,which began in 1986,is based on the idea of community,inclusion,creativity,fashion and anti-consumerism.It is an eight-day festival held in Nevada,America from late August to early September.At this time of year,people from all over the world come here.All participants are called burners.
The Fire and Snow Festival
In mid-February every year,in the depths of cold winter,the Fire and Snow Festival takes place in Japan.Originally,this festival had its roots in a purification ceremony.In modern times,however,the festival is more than a community event.A sweet drink,made from rice is served up there.
The Jeongwol Daeboreum Deulbli Festival
Another fire celebration to take place in February is the Jeongwol Daeboreum Deulbli Festival in the Republic of Korea,Asia.The festival goes back centuries,when local families would keep cows.Farmers would set fire to the mountains to destroy old grass and kill harmful insects.Now,a hilltop is set to pray for health and a good harvest in the coming year.

Every American family has its own traditions on Thanksgiving Day,and mine is no different.Once the national holiday arrives,my mom rises early to make the meal.She puts a turkey in the oven,chops carrots and bakes pies.I'm sorry to say that the men in the family—my dad,my younger brother and myself—rarely pitch in to help.Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over.
Around 2 p.m.every Thanksgiving Day,family members seat themselves around the kitchen table.Plates of turkey,vegetables,salad,rolls and pies cover it.At this point,we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling (流口水) all over our fancy clothes,but it's not yet time to eat.
First,we must bow our heads,close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have.Under normal circumstances,I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for.I grew up in a loving family.My parents,who aren't wealthy,took out loans to help me pay for university.
However,the funny thing is,every time I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks,my mind usually goes blank.I think it has something to do with my growling (咕咕叫) stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.
Eventually,though,we all finish our short prayers and dig in.To be sure,the day includes other highlights—visiting with family and watching football matches on TV.But usually around 6 p.m.we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warm bed to sleep in.
4.What is the purpose of the text

B.His mind is on the food before him.
C.He feels too excited to speak.

C.Mix things up. D.Start eating.

Dogs in the classroom lower stress of primary school students,new research has found.The study by UK researchers found spending some time with a dog twice a week was better for reducing stress on students than many other classroom relaxation activities.And the benefits of these“dog dates” were similar for children in both normal and special schools.
Stress is known to negatively influence a child's learning,behaviour,health and mood.This has led schools to try a number of ways to reduce stress,including yoga,mindfulness,physical activity and even having animals in classrooms.
The researchers from the University of Lincoln measured students'stress levels by tracking the level of the stress in their saliva (唾液).They studied 105 students aged 8 to 9 in four normal schools as well as 44 children of a similar age in seven special schools in the UK.The children were divided into three groups:a group that spent time with a dog;a group that spent time doing relaxation activities;and a“control” group that did neither of these things.Students in the dog group spent 20 minutes with a trained dog twice a week for four weeks.The relaxation group spent the same amount of time doing exercise.
The researchers found that the children in the dog group had“extremely low” stress levels,while those in the relaxation and control groups recorded an increase over the school term.The study,which was published in the journal PLOS ONE,also found stress was lowest in the children in the dog group immediately after their contact with the puppies.“Dog-assisted activities can lead to lower stress levels in schoolchildren with and without special educational needs,”University of Lincoln researcher Kerstin Meints said,“but more research is needed to discover what was the ideal amount of time and contact with dogs for the best effect.”
8.What is the benefit of having dogs in the classroom according to the research
A.Lowering stress for students.
B.Making students less lonely.
C.Building up students'health.
D.Improving students'confidence.
9.How did the researchers get the findings
A.By analyzing causes.
B.By providing examples.
C.By making a list of facts.
D.By making comparison.
10.What does the research show according to the last paragraph
A.The proper contact time with dogs still needs further study.
B.Dogs have more effects on the children in special schools.
C.The children doing more exercise have the lowest stress level.
D.The children spending most time with dogs are lowest in stress.
11.What can be the best title for the text
A.Students Need the Company of Dogs
B.Classroom Dog Dates Reduce Kids'Stress
C.New Research about Dogs Is Carried Out
D.Dog-assisted Activities Become Popular in the UK
D
Researchers have discovered many recent Marsquakes on the Red Planet.Those shakes are likely signs that magma (岩浆) moves deep under the Martian surface.
Since touching down on Mars four years ago,NASA's InSight lander has found more than 1,000 Marsquakes.One of its tools records quake waves.Those waves show information about a quake's size and location.
Earlier this year,scientists showed that several Marsquakes came from a particular part of Mars.It's known as Cerberus Fossae.Those quakes were a type pretty familiar to quake experts,states Anna Mittelholz,a planetary scientist at Harvard University.Their low-frequency waves“look much more like what we see for an earthquake,” she says.
Mittelholz was part of a team that has studied many more Marsquakes.These include more than 1,000 high-frequency small quakes.The signals (信号) are fairly weak.To find out their origins,her team added the signals together.These quakes,too,seemed to come from the direction of Cerberus Fossae.
Scientists were surprised to find that different types of quakes all came from the same region on Mars.Previous research had suggested Marsquakes might be caused by the slow cooling and shrinking (收缩) of the planet's surface.That process,which also occurs on the moon,should produce quakes spread equally across the planet.As such,Mittelholz says,“The expectation was that Marsquakes would come from all over the place.”
Her team also compared the weak waves that InSight measured with those produced on Earth.Marsquakes looked like earthquakes that came from volcanic regions,the researchers found.That means Mars'shakes are probably produced by magma flowing tens of kilometers below the planet's surface.
Rather than being a geologically dead planet,as some have suggested,Mars might be surprisingly active,the researchers conclude (下结论).“There's still so much more to learn about Mars,”says Mittelholz,“We're only touching the surface.”
12.Why are the quake waves on Mars familiar to scientists
A.They are like the waves on Earth.
B.They are sent from the same place.
C.They are weak enough to be sensed.
D.They are full of all kinds of information.
13.Why is the moon mentioned in paragraph 5
A.To show quakes on the moon are common.
B.To give an easy explanation of earthquakes.
C.To show the similarity between the moon and Earth.
D.To prove Marsquakes may have little to do with temperatures.
14.What do the scientists conclude about Mars
A.Mars is a secret to them.
B.Mars is a relatively dead planet.
C.Mars might be still volcanically active.
D.Mars has more quakes than Earth.
15.What is the text
A.A short story. B.A science report.
C.A space diary. D.A book review.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
People often have a tough time dealing with their feelings of disappointment.That is when you should give them time and understanding and he or she just might come around before long.
I remember talking with my friend Avery about the coming school play Alice's Adventure in Wonderland,which we both applied for.Avery had a talent for acting and she was anxious for playing Alice while for me I didn't care what part I played as long as I would be in.However,when the character list was posted,we were surprised to find that I got the part of Alice and Avery was chosen to act the rabbit.I guessed it was because I hadn't been nervous at all during the audition (试演).But that situation really didn't occur to me.
Then I asked Avery,“Do you want to come over after school and we can practice our lines?”“You mean,practice your lines?” Avery replied,not even looking at me,“No,thanks.I'm pretty busy this week.” I continued to ask if it would be OK for next week but her answer was negative and full of anger.
That night at dinner,after my parents congratulated me on getting the lead role,they asked how I felt.“Well,I can't understand.” I said and told them about Avery's reaction and I believed that she pretty much threw away our friendship.
“Hmm,” said my dad,“Arizona,don't you think this might be an opportunity for you to be an extra-good friend?”“Dad's right,” added my mom,“Sometimes when our friends do well,we feel envious (羡慕的) and don't know how to act.Try giving her a little time and understanding.She'll come around.”
Over the next week,I did my best to give Avery some space.I practiced my lines but I knew I needed some help since my voice was not expressive enough.Day by day,Avery's attitude seemed softened.As the rehearsal (彩排) day was near,I made a decision.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;

[参考范文]
Hi Mike,
I hope everything goes well with you! I can't wait to tell you about the annual sports meeting held in our school last week.
It included quite a number of sports events.Almost all events were interesting for me,of which the women's 3,000-metre race was the most impressive.An athlete slipped and fell down in the race but she swiftly rose to her feet and kept running.Her spirit of striving and never giving up inspired everyone present.Crowds of students and teachers surrounding the sports field cheered for her loudly.
How about the sports participation in your school?I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours,
Li Hua

[参考范文]
One day after school in the rehearsal room,I approached Avery.“Hey,Avery,”I said,“I was wondering if you could help me with my lines.I know you're busy,but I really need your help.”Avery looked up at me and smiled.“Sure,I'd be happy to help.”We spent the next hour going over my lines and she gave me some great advice on how to make my performance more expressive.I was so grateful for her help and I could tell that she was happy to be able to help me.
Then came the big day.We both performed our parts perfectly and the audience was thrilled.After the show,Avery and I hugged each other and thanked each other for our help.I was so glad that I had given her time and understanding,and that she had come around.From then on,we were even better friends than before.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者对自己的家人如何庆祝感恩节进行了描写,充分展现了一家人其乐融融的景象。
4.B [写作意图题。作者开门见山地点明了每个美国家庭都有自己的感恩节传统,然后详细描述了他们一家人在这一天的活动,因此B项“讲述这一家人如何度过感恩节”符合题意。故选B。]
5.A [细节理解题。文章前四段描述作者一家人准备感恩节大餐,最后一段的首句“Eventually,though,we all finish our short prayers and dig in.”说明一家人终于开吃了,首先排除C项;再由尾段第二句“To be sure,the day includes other highlights—visiting with family and watching football matches on TV.”可知,这一天作者一家人还会走访亲友以及观看足球比赛等,故排除B、D两项;文章没有提及A项活动,故选A。]
6.B [细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I think it has something to do with my growling stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose.”可知,作者吃大餐之前祈祷以示感恩时,心思全被眼前的美食所吸引,所以B项正确。故选B。]
7.D [词义猜测题。前文描述了一家人准备大餐以及作者的心思全被眼前美食所吸引的情形,再由画线词所在句中的Eventually“终于”一词可知,dig in在此表示(一家人)“开吃”了。故选D。]
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现,狗狗在教室里与小学生适当接触可以降低小学生的压力。
8.A [细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“Dogs in the classroom lower stress of primary school students,new research has found.”可知,研究发现狗狗在教室里可以降低小学生的压力,由此可知,教室里有狗狗的好处是可以减轻学生的压力。故选A项。]
9.D [推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“The researchers found that the children in the dog group had‘extremely low'stress levels,while those in the relaxation and control groups recorded an increase over the school term.”可知,研究人员将参与者分为三组,并将每组的数据进行对比,最后得出与狗狗同组的孩子压力水平“极低”,由此可知,研究人员是通过比较得出这些发现的。故选D项。]
10.A [推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“‘Dog-assisted activities can lead to lower stress levels in schoolchildren with and without special educational needs,'University of Lincoln researcher Kerstin Meints said,‘but more research is needed to discover what was the ideal amount of time and contact with dogs for the best effect.’”可知,林肯大学的研究人员Kerstin Meints认为还需要更多的研究来发现与狗接触的理想时间是多少,由此可知,研究显示了与狗的适当接触时间仍需进一步研究。故选A项。]
11.B [标题归纳题。通读全文,并结合第一段关键句“Dogs in the classroom lower stress of primary school students,new research has found.”可知,本文主要介绍了一项新的研究发现,即狗狗在教室里可以降低小学生的压力,“Classroom Dog Dates Reduce Kids'Stress”意为“课堂上与狗狗相处可以减轻孩子们的压力”,此选项能够概括文章主要内容。故选B项。]
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员发现了很多火星地震,并介绍了这些地震发生的原因、位置等。
12.A [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Those quakes were a type pretty familiar to quake experts,states Anna Mittelholz,a planetary scientist at Harvard University.Their low-frequency waves‘look much more like what we see for an earthquake,'she says.”可知,科学家对火星上的地震波很熟悉是因为它们就像地球上的地震波一样。故选A。]
13.D [推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Scientists were surprised to find that different types of quakes all came from the same region on Mars.Previous research had suggested Marsquakes might be caused by the slow cooling and shrinking of the planet's surface.That process,which also occurs on the moon,should produce quakes spread equally across the planet.”可知,提到月球是为了证明火星上的地震可能与温度变化无关。故选D。]
14.C [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Rather than being a geologically dead planet,as some have suggested,Mars might be surprisingly active,the researchers conclude.”可知,火星可能是个火山活跃的星球。故选C。]
15.B [推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“Researchers have discovered many recent Marsquakes on the Red Planet.Those shakes are likely signs that magma moves deep under the Martian surface.”可知,文章主要介绍了研究人员发现了很多火星地震,并介绍了这些地震发生的原因、位置等,由此可推知,这是一篇科技报道类文章。故选B。]
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何让自己在学校感兴趣。
16.A [根据下文“If you can find the things you like learning about,this can help you become more interested in school in general.Think about which classes you pay the most attention to.This can help you know which subjects you are naturally interested in.”可知,这里主要讲找到自己感兴趣的东西然后学习。而A项“Know what interests you naturally”符合语境,有启下作用,其中interests与下文对应。故选A。]
17.G [根据上文“Think about classes you don't like in an objective way.”可知,此处讲想想自己不喜欢的课程。G项“If you try,you may become interested in a subject you don't think you enjoy”承接上文,符合语境,其中“a subject you don't think you enjoy”与上文“classes you don't like”对应,有承上作用。故选G。]
18.F [根据上文“While academic difficulties in a certain subject might cause you to lose interest in school,other common stress factors can do the same.”可知,此处讲其他因素也会让你对学校失去兴趣,而F项“These may include worrying about your appearance,relationships,etc”提到其他因素,符合语境,其中These指代上文“other common stress factors”。故选F。]
19.D [根据上文“Some friendly competition can be fun.”可知,这里讲合理竞争会带来乐趣。D项“However,too much competition produces anxiety.”符合语境,其中competition与上文对应,However形成转折。故选D。]
20.B [由下文“Set realistic goals,and don't worry too much about what others are doing.”可知,这里指要定下实际的目标,不要受别人影响。B项“You don't have to be the best at everything”符合语境,引出下文要根据自己实际情况制定计划,所以有启下作用。故选B。]
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是一位曾经在学校餐厅做服务员的母亲,凭借自己的努力,坚持学习、考取教师资格证后成为了一名教师,最后又成为女校长的故事。
