If you land in India anytime in late February or March, it’s wise to check the dates of the annual Holi Festival and bring a spare set of clothes. That’s because for a few days in spring, people crowd the streets and pelt(向……投掷) anyone walking by with brightly-colored powder to celebrate the arrival of spring and the end of evil. It’s hard to avoid the fun and the paint, unless you stay inside or look angry enough to discourage the custom.
“Watch out, madam!” said my taxi driver in Amritsar as we drove through a crowd of young people pelting each other with powder. “The colors never come out of your clothes,” he said. “And you might be having purple hair for many days.” I did a quick check. I was wearing black, a color rarely seen in India. It is usually connected with the lowest social classes, and can be viewed as unlucky. I was happy for my clothes to be painted in colors.
“I have some powder I bought for my children. You can have some gladly, to join in our customs,” he encouraged me. Holding what the driver handed me as my weapon of choice, I walked into the Holi smoke. At first people politely avoided foreigners. But then a girl in a sari(莎丽) ran up smiling and put paint on my face. I returned the favor with a handful of pink. With its brilliant clothes, exotic flowers, trucks covered with lights and brightly painted pictures of gods, India is truly one of the most colorful places on the planet!
1.Which of the following sentences about the Holi Festival is correct
A.It falls on the same day each year and is celebrated for a few days.
B.It is a playful cultural event to throw colors at friends or strangers.
C.It has many purposes, celebrating the end of spring in particular.
D.It is fun for local people but a little unacceptable for foreigners.
2.The author was happy for her black clothes to be painted in colors because .
A.the festival influenced her taste in fashion
B.the taxi driver suggested wearing something colorful
C.black is the color not liked by people in India
D.a girl invited her to join in their customs
3.We can learn from the passage that .
A.the color black provides people with a sense of mystery and tradition
B.foreigners can’t be too careful in the streets in India during the Holi Festival
C.saris, worn especially by Indian women, are a must for the Holi celebration
D.anyone can be attacked during the Holi Festival

The most popular martial arts (武术)today came from Asia, especially China. Some Chinese fighting styles were invented more than 3,000 years ago. Many martial arts were invented because people needed to defend themselves or protect others. Nowadays, people learn martial arts as a way of keeping fit or as a competitive sport, but they are still very useful for self-defence.
Martial arts are often referred to as being either soft or hard. These terms imply a way of dealing with your opponent’s (对手的)force. Soft martial arts, such as t’ai chi, teach you to use your opponent’s own force to defend yourself. Soft styles use movements and timing to avoid, deflect and redirect the opponent’s attacks. These martial arts are soft for the defender but not for the attacker! On the other hand, hard styles, such as kung fu, teach you to defend yourself by using force. Techniques involve blocks, postures and powerful punches and kicks. Hard martial art techniques will be more effective(有效的)if you are more skillful, more powerful and faster than your opponent.
Perhaps one of the best known Japanese martial arts today is karate. But do you know that it came from Fujian Province A community of Chinese migrants(移民)from Fujian settled in what was then the kingdom of Okinawa. The Chinese migrants used to gather in a park to enjoy cultural activities—one of which was kung fu. This soon caught the attention of local youths, who started learning kung fu from their Chinese neighbours.
In fact, Chinese influence on martial arts was not only kung fu. The very first Korean military training manual was based on a Chinese version. During the Japanese invasion (侵略)of Korea in the 16th century, the Korean army needed an effective way to train a large number of soldiers. They used a training methodology from a Chinese military manual called Ji Xiao Xin Shu, written by the famous Chinese general, Qi Jiguang, who had defeated the Japanese army himself.
4.From the passage we can learn people have been using martial arts .
A.to defend others
B.to protect themselves
C.to keep fit
D.as a competitive sport
5.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about
A.Soft martial arts.
B.Hard martial arts.
C.The effects of martial arts.
D.The kinds of martial arts.
6.Which place is the home of karate
A.Japan.

7.Why did the Korean army use Ji Xiao Xin Shu

Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.
In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st or January 1st. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal clothes, and they may drink champagne(香槟酒) at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sunrise. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise.
Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh(重新).
Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year. Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the new year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck, but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!

The U.S. Thanksgiving Day is symbolized (象征) by its traditional food—roast turkey. But turkey is certainly not from Turkey. In fact, its English name is based on one big mistake. We could say it is a case of mistaken identity. The word “Turkey” has meant “the land of the Turks” since ancient times. In the mid-1500s, the word “turkey” was first used to refer to the bird in the English language.
The misunderstanding over the word happened because of two similar-looking kinds of birds. There is an African bird called the guinea fowl(珍珠鸡). It has dark feathers with white spots and a patch of brown on the back of its neck. Traders brought the guinea fowl to Europe through North Africa. This foreign bird came to Europe through Turkish lands. So, the English thought of the bird as a “Turkish chicken”.
When Europeans came to North America, they saw a bird that looked like the guinea fowl. This bird was native to the North American continent. But they thought that it was the guinea fowl,which at that time was called the “turkey cock”,so they gave it the same name. Hundreds of years later, we continue to call this North American bird “turkey”, even though it has no connection at all with the country Turkey, or even with Europe. But English is not the only language with interesting names for this North American bird.
The Turks call the turkey “hindi”, the Turkish name for India. The reference(涉及)to India probably comes from the old wrong idea that the New World was in Eastern Asia. The French call it “dinde”, a name that also connects the bird with India. “Dinde” means “from India” in the French language. “Turkey” has similar names in several other languages.
12.What can we know from Paragraph 1
A.The word “turkey” appeared in modern times.
B.Turkey’s English name is based on correct identity.
C.Americans like eating turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
D.Both Turkey and turkey have similar meanings in English.
13.Where does the guinea fowl come from
A.Europe. B.Africa. C.America. D.Asia.
14.What does the underlined word“it” in the last paragraph refer to
A.Eastern Asia.
B.The French language.
C.The New World.
D.The bird turkey.
15.What can be the best title for the text
A.How did Thanksgiving “turkey” get its name
B.How did Americans spend their Thanksgiving Day
C.Why is the guinea fowl so popular with Americans
D.Why is the guinea fowl different from the American turkey

Cats in ancient Egypt
Many of us love cats. They are beautiful, soft, clever and loving. The ancient Egyptians(埃及人) considered cats, also known as Mau, to be very important. They honored them with great respect. 1 For one thing, cats helped people by keeping their homes free of mice, rats, and snakes.
Without cats Egypt could not have been the important grain-growing(谷物种植) center that it was. 2 Though I don’t know what other pets the Egyptians had, cats were probably the most important. Cats were also trained to help hunters. 3
The Egyptians loved cats so much that Bast, an Egyptian goddess, was pictured in the form of a cat. Bast appeared in artwork. She was the protector of the house. 4 The safety of all cats was of great concern to ancient Egyptians. 5 Foreigners sometimes took cats out of Egypt secretly and took them to other lands. Egyptian soldiers were sent to pick up cats found in other countries and bring them back home to Egypt.
A.There were good reasons for that.
B.Two types of cats appeared in ancient Egypt.
C.In grain fields, cats helped catch rats and mice.
D.They were able to help pick up the wounded birds.
E.There were even laws against getting a cat out of Egypt.
F.Anyone who killed a cat on purpose would be put to death.
G.That’s why most Egyptian families had cats for good luck.

Dear Cathy,
I’m writing to tell you something about one of the most famous tourist attractions in China—the Great Wall.
It came into being during the Zhou Dynasty and reached its best in the Ming Dynasty as a defense against enemies. With a history of over 2,000 years, it runs like a huge dragon across North China. And now it’s a world-famous place of interest. It’s almost a must for foreigners to visit in China.
By the way, you’d better avoid weekends or holidays, when it is too crowded with tourists, so as to enjoy its beauty more peacefully.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

If you land in India anytime in late February or March, it’s wise to check the dates of the annual Holi Festival and bring a spare set of clothes. That’s because for a few days in spring, people crowd the streets and pelt(向……投掷) anyone walking by with brightly-colored powder to celebrate the arrival of spring and the end of evil. It’s hard to avoid the fun and the paint, unless you stay inside or look angry enough to discourage the custom.
“Watch out, madam!” said my taxi driver in Amritsar as we drove through a crowd of young people pelting each other with powder. “The colors never come out of your clothes,” he said. “And you might be having purple hair for many days.” I did a quick check. I was wearing black, a color rarely seen in India. It is usually connected with the lowest social classes, and can be viewed as unlucky. I was happy for my clothes to be painted in colors.
“I have some powder I bought for my children. You can have some gladly, to join in our customs,” he encouraged me. Holding what the driver handed me as my weapon of choice, I walked into the Holi smoke. At first people politely avoided foreigners. But then a girl in a sari(莎丽) ran up smiling and put paint on my face. I returned the favor with a handful of pink. With its brilliant clothes, exotic flowers, trucks covered with lights and brightly painted pictures of gods, India is truly one of the most colorful places on the planet!
1.Which of the following sentences about the Holi Festival is correct
A.It falls on the same day each year and is celebrated for a few days.
B.It is a playful cultural event to throw colors at friends or strangers.
C.It has many purposes, celebrating the end of spring in particular.
D.It is fun for local people but a little unacceptable for foreigners.
2.The author was happy for her black clothes to be painted in colors because .
A.the festival influenced her taste in fashion
B.the taxi driver suggested wearing something colorful
C.black is the color not liked by people in India
D.a girl invited her to join in their customs
3.We can learn from the passage that .
A.the color black provides people with a sense of mystery and tradition
B.foreigners can’t be too careful in the streets in India during the Holi Festival
C.saris, worn especially by Indian women, are a must for the Holi celebration
D.anyone can be attacked during the Holi Festival

The most popular martial arts (武术)today came from Asia, especially China. Some Chinese fighting styles were invented more than 3,000 years ago. Many martial arts were invented because people needed to defend themselves or protect others. Nowadays, people learn martial arts as a way of keeping fit or as a competitive sport, but they are still very useful for self-defence.
Martial arts are often referred to as being either soft or hard. These terms imply a way of dealing with your opponent’s (对手的)force. Soft martial arts, such as t’ai chi, teach you to use your opponent’s own force to defend yourself. Soft styles use movements and timing to avoid, deflect and redirect the opponent’s attacks. These martial arts are soft for the defender but not for the attacker! On the other hand, hard styles, such as kung fu, teach you to defend yourself by using force. Techniques involve blocks, postures and powerful punches and kicks. Hard martial art techniques will be more effective(有效的)if you are more skillful, more powerful and faster than your opponent.
Perhaps one of the best known Japanese martial arts today is karate. But do you know that it came from Fujian Province A community of Chinese migrants(移民)from Fujian settled in what was then the kingdom of Okinawa. The Chinese migrants used to gather in a park to enjoy cultural activities—one of which was kung fu. This soon caught the attention of local youths, who started learning kung fu from their Chinese neighbours.
In fact, Chinese influence on martial arts was not only kung fu. The very first Korean military training manual was based on a Chinese version. During the Japanese invasion (侵略)of Korea in the 16th century, the Korean army needed an effective way to train a large number of soldiers. They used a training methodology from a Chinese military manual called Ji Xiao Xin Shu, written by the famous Chinese general, Qi Jiguang, who had defeated the Japanese army himself.
4.From the passage we can learn people have been using martial arts .
A.to defend others
B.to protect themselves
C.to keep fit
D.as a competitive sport
5.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about
A.Soft martial arts.
B.Hard martial arts.
C.The effects of martial arts.
D.The kinds of martial arts.
6.Which place is the home of karate
A.Japan.
B.Korea.
C.China.
D.Okinawa.
7.Why did the Korean army use Ji Xiao Xin Shu
A.To strengthen its army.

Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.
In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st or January 1st. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal clothes, and they may drink champagne(香槟酒) at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sunrise. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise.
Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh(重新).
Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year. Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the new year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck, but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!

The U.S. Thanksgiving Day is symbolized (象征) by its traditional food—roast turkey. But turkey is certainly not from Turkey. In fact, its English name is based on one big mistake. We could say it is a case of mistaken identity. The word “Turkey” has meant “the land of the Turks” since ancient times. In the mid-1500s, the word “turkey” was first used to refer to the bird in the English language.
The misunderstanding over the word happened because of two similar-looking kinds of birds. There is an African bird called the guinea fowl(珍珠鸡). It has dark feathers with white spots and a patch of brown on the back of its neck. Traders brought the guinea fowl to Europe through North Africa. This foreign bird came to Europe through Turkish lands. So, the English thought of the bird as a “Turkish chicken”.
When Europeans came to North America, they saw a bird that looked like the guinea fowl. This bird was native to the North American continent. But they thought that it was the guinea fowl,which at that time was called the “turkey cock”,so they gave it the same name. Hundreds of years later, we continue to call this North American bird “turkey”, even though it has no connection at all with the country Turkey, or even with Europe. But English is not the only language with interesting names for this North American bird.
The Turks call the turkey “hindi”, the Turkish name for India. The reference(涉及)to India probably comes from the old wrong idea that the New World was in Eastern Asia. The French call it “dinde”, a name that also connects the bird with India. “Dinde” means “from India” in the French language. “Turkey” has similar names in several other languages.
12.What can we know from Paragraph 1
A.The word “turkey” appeared in modern times.
B.Turkey’s English name is based on correct identity.
C.Americans like eating turkey on Thanksgiving Day.
D.Both Turkey and turkey have similar meanings in English.
13.Where does the guinea fowl come from
A.Europe. B.Africa. C.America. D.Asia.
14.What does the underlined word“it” in the last paragraph refer to
A.Eastern Asia.
B.The French language.
C.The New World.
D.The bird turkey.
15.What can be the best title for the text
A.How did Thanksgiving “turkey” get its name
B.How did Americans spend their Thanksgiving Day
C.Why is the guinea fowl so popular with Americans
D.Why is the guinea fowl different from the American turkey

Cats in ancient Egypt
Many of us love cats. They are beautiful, soft, clever and loving. The ancient Egyptians(埃及人) considered cats, also known as Mau, to be very important. They honored them with great respect. 1 For one thing, cats helped people by keeping their homes free of mice, rats, and snakes.
Without cats Egypt could not have been the important grain-growing(谷物种植) center that it was. 2 Though I don’t know what other pets the Egyptians had, cats were probably the most important. Cats were also trained to help hunters. 3
The Egyptians loved cats so much that Bast, an Egyptian goddess, was pictured in the form of a cat. Bast appeared in artwork. She was the protector of the house. 4 The safety of all cats was of great concern to ancient Egyptians. 5 Foreigners sometimes took cats out of Egypt secretly and took them to other lands. Egyptian soldiers were sent to pick up cats found in other countries and bring them back home to Egypt.
A.There were good reasons for that.
B.Two types of cats appeared in ancient Egypt.
C.In grain fields, cats helped catch rats and mice.
D.They were able to help pick up the wounded birds.
E.There were even laws against getting a cat out of Egypt.
F.Anyone who killed a cat on purpose would be put to death.
G.That’s why most Egyptian families had cats for good luck.

It came into being during the Zhou Dynasty and reached its best in the Ming Dynasty as a defense against enemies. With a history of over 2,000 years, it runs like a huge dragon across North China. And now it’s a world-famous place of interest. It’s almost a must for foreigners to visit in China.
By the way, you’d better avoid weekends or holidays, when it is too crowded with tourists, so as to enjoy its beauty more peacefully.
Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
