二、阅读单选
Qingming Festival is a traditional Chinese festival for family to pay respect (尊敬) to their ancestors (祖先). People visit their ancestors’ grave sites and offer food, drinks and flowers. There are some Chinese poems showing Chinese history and culture through ancient expressions. Here we look at one of the classic poems in the history of Chinese literature:
A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day;
The mourner’s heart is going to break on his way.
Where can a wineshop be found to drown his sad hours
A cowherd points to a cot amid apricot flowers.
In China, around the time of Qingming Festival, there is more rain. The poet is traveling far away from home on these rainy days. The rain and lonely walks lead to the separation of the soul (灵魂) and body, which adds a sad feeling to this poem. The writer, Du Mu describes a rainy scene in a village in the first two lines. Then in the last two lines, the poet wants to find a place to take a rest, drink some wine (酒) and get away from the sad feeling. Where can I find a good tavern In the last line, a cowherd points to a direction (方向), which describes two people looking far ahead on the rainy day.
In this poem, Du Mu presents a village with apricot flowers around as the direction of the tavern. He doesn’t describe its feature on a rainy day but leaves it to the readers’ imagination.
Qingming is not only a sad festival, but can also be a happy time for people to enjoy the spring and get closer to nature in an outing. Trees are green and flowers are blooming, so it’s a good time to be outside.
21．The Chinese title of this poem is “________”.
A．《清明》 B．《咏柳》 C．《春望》 D．《秋思》
22．The weather on Qingming Festival is always ________.
A．snowy B．windy C．cold D．rainy
23．The poet wants to find a place to ________.
A．make friends B．eat some food C．drink some wine D．buy a raincoat
24．A cowherd may mean ________.
A．a boy who sits on the cow B．a place where the cow lives
C．a person who herds the cow D．a place where the cow eats grass
25．We can ________ on Qingming Festival according to the writer.
A．offer food, drinks and flowers to old people
B．pay respect to our ancestors and enjoy the spring
C．feel sad all day and drink some wine with family
D．find a beautiful place with a lot of flowers around
New Year in the UK usually starts with a celebration on New Year's Eve (31st December). Some people spend the evening at home with their family, or have a party for friends at their house. Others go to a pub to celebrate, or spend the evening in a large public space, for example Trafalgar Square in London.
New Year begins with the bell of Big Ben, the famous London clock, at midnight, which is also shown on TV for those who are staying in.
In Scotland, New Year is called Hogmanay, and for some people, it's a bigger celebration than Christmas. In big cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow there are street parties with around 100,000 people, enjoying music, entertainment and fireworks at midnight.
One Scottish tradition which is now popular throughout the UK as well as in the USA, is the singing of a traditional folk song. Auld lang syne, reminds us to think of old friends and remember the good times of the past.
On New Year's Eve many people enjoy drinking wine, but New Year's Day also means the start of a healthier life, so some people make New Year's resolutions. Often these are connected with fitness and health, for example giving up smoking or drinking, taking more exercise or losing weight. Other people make a resolution to improve their life in other ways, such as spending more time with family, learning something new.

Can memory be improved Most people hope to have a memory ___46___ helps them succeed in study, work and life. Luckily, hundreds of studies in the past 50 years have already given us a clear answer.
A healthy lifestyle keeps your brain young and memory sharp. First of all, it is necessary to have a healthy diet.

Teaching is a simple way to train our brains to be more effective ____53____ you need to understand before teaching something. Teaching strengthens the understanding.
