Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Situated in Huaxi District, Guiyang, Zhenshan Ethnic Culture Village is a world of stone, where many things like door frames and roads are made of stone. Buyi men and women in their best clothes sing and dance at the village entrance as they greet visitors and invite them to join the villagers in making cake flour with rice.
The village was first built during the Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 400 years. Three sides of the village are surrounded by water. It is built against the mountains according to the local geological conditions.
There are about 120 families and three fourths of them are Buyi nationality and one fourth are Miao people. On January 10th every lunar year, the villagers hold traditional dancing activities to celebrate the New Year. Buyi and Miao villagers in their best costumes sing and dance to the melodies from the Lusheng (芦笙) and the bamboo flutes to celebrate their own traditional festival. Legends said once some robbers captured the Buyi forefather in the village. The villagers failed to rescue him by themselves and asked the local Miao people for help. The Miao people played the Lusheng and sang Miao songs to communicate with him and the robbers couldn't understand them. With the help of the Miao people, the forefather was rescued. Since then, the local Buyi people have formed the custom of singing and dancing to appreciate the help from the Miao. People sing and dance for three days for the festival each year.
Besides this, Zhenshan villagers also celebrate the traditional “Siyueba” Festival (April 8th Festival) and the “Qiyueban” Festival (the Ghost Festival). Now, these festivals have become joyous days celebrated by Miao, Buyi, Dong, Zhuang, Shui, Gelao, and even the Han people.
In Zhenshan, some young people take advantage of the festivals to make friends and choose their future husbands or wives. Girls usually make embroideries (刺绣) and give them as gifts to their lovers.

So often I hear people justify (为……辩解) their lack of family trips because their children are not old enough to remember them.This reason is so confusing to me.Who would travel based on another person's memory
Of course the kids aren't going to remember anything in infancy (婴儿期), but you will.You will remember all the sweet memories you had with them.
My parents would take me to Guatemala as a child.I don't remember a lot of the trip, but I do know that when I went back as a young adult, I felt comfortable in my surroundings.I didn't spend my time there discovering a new way of life.I spent the time having fun with my family.I love looking at pictures that we took together when I was my son's age.I don't remember them, but that's not the point.The point is, I was there with my family, and I know I was happy.
Now that I'm a parent, I can't help but do the same.Last year, we took our 2 year old son to Disney alongside his great grandmother.His great grandmother had recently begun to suffer from Alzheimer's.That trip was timed in the most magical way — right before my son was old enough to remember it and right before his great grandmother began to forget.This makes me want to cry for them both.How did we get so lucky to have this moment to share with each other before big changes influenced our family forever
Realistically speaking, many families do not have the opportunity to travel internationally or visit pricey theme (主题) parks.I understand this more than you know, but I'm talking beyond that.They are young but these forgettable moments are still changing them.They will shape your child into who they will be tomorrow.The memories we absorb as their parents are also as influential as we have not finished learning our truths either.

D．They think their kids won't remember them.

A．Clear. B．Boring.
C．Pleasing. D．Hard.
7．Which influenced the author to plan the Disney trip
A．Her son. B．Her parents.
C．Some old photos. D．Other parents' ideas.
8．Why did the author want to cry when recalling the Disney trip

B．She was worried about big family changes.
C．She was moved by the timing of the trip.
D．She was surprised by her son's growth.

Kindergarten outside Yes, indeed. It's part of a growing worldwide trend toward outdoor education. The schools are called Forest Kindergartens. The numbers are small so far in the U．S., but the idea is well established in Europe, with schools in Britain and Switzerland. By far the most of such schools are in Germany, which has more than 400 Waldkindergartens.
Some schools feature several hours of outdoor schooling. Children enjoy a good amount of outdoor education each day, rainy or sunny. In all cases, students are active — not sitting at desks but walking, running, jumping and solving problems like how to get the mud off the bottoms of their shoes before their parents find out.
Seriously, the focus is on activities at these schools. All of these activities just have to be good for the children's physical well being as well. Children's immune systems actually get stronger after all of the outdoor activities. Other studies have shown that graduates of Waldkindergartens show a higher ability to learn when they progress through their academic careers.
Other schools are all outdoors, all the time. This is the case with the Cedarsong Nature School, on Vashon Island, Wash. Students at this school come dressed for the weather, because they spend their whole three hour day outdoors, in a private five acre forest, not only doing all manner of physical activities but also learning much more than “just what nature has to offer”. The school, begun in 2008, runs four days a week. Organizers, one of whom traded in her law practice to help start the school, hope to expand the school week to five days soon.
In a time when so many children are being classified as obese (肥胖的) because they watch too much television and play too many video games. These outdoor schools serve as a reminder that children should open their eyes to the nonvirtual (非虚拟的) world around them.
12．According to the passage, which is NOT the benefit of the Forest Kindergarten
A．It provides enough exercise.
B．It helps choose future careers.
C．It builds up the immune system.
D．It develops problem solving skills.
13．What can be inferred from the passage
A．The outdoor education is popular in the U．S.
B．Schools don't provide outdoor classes on rainy days.
C．The Cedarsong Nature School arranges 3 hour school days.
D．Most of the European countries have built Forest Kindergartens.
14．What's the writer's attitude towards the outdoor sch ools
A．Neutral. B．Disappointed.
C．Negative. D．Supportive.
15．What's the writer's purpose in writing this passage
A．To advise teachers to give lessons outdoors.
B．To discuss the advantages of outdoor schooling.
C．To introduce a new educational pattern to readers.
D．To persuade children to take part in outdoor activities.

Situated in Huaxi District, Guiyang, Zhenshan Ethnic Culture Village is a world of stone, where many things like door frames and roads are made of stone. Buyi men and women in their best clothes sing and dance at the village entrance as they greet visitors and invite them to join the villagers in making cake flour with rice.
The village was first built during the Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 400 years. Three sides of the village are surrounded by water. It is built against the mountains according to the local geological conditions.
There are about 120 families and three fourths of them are Buyi nationality and one fourth are Miao people. On January 10th every lunar year, the villagers hold traditional dancing activities to celebrate the New Year. Buyi and Miao villagers in their best costumes sing and dance to the melodies from the Lusheng (芦笙) and the bamboo flutes to celebrate their own traditional festival. Legends said once some robbers captured the Buyi forefather in the village. The villagers failed to rescue him by themselves and asked the local Miao people for help. The Miao people played the Lusheng and sang Miao songs to communicate with him and the robbers couldn't understand them. With the help of the Miao people, the forefather was rescued. Since then, the local Buyi people have formed the custom of singing and dancing to appreciate the help from the Miao. People sing and dance for three days for the festival each year.
Besides this, Zhenshan villagers also celebrate the traditional “Siyueba” Festival (April 8th Festival) and the “Qiyueban” Festival (the Ghost Festival). Now, these festivals have become joyous days celebrated by Miao, Buyi, Dong, Zhuang, Shui, Gelao, and even the Han people.
In Zhenshan, some young people take advantage of the festivals to make friends and choose their future husbands or wives. Girls usually make embroideries (刺绣) and give them as gifts to their lovers.

The Tibetan ethnic group used to be in the middle part of Yarlung Zangbo River area and the population now is around 640,000.
You may have heard about the staple foods there like zanba, barley wine and buttered tea. Another interesting thing is that they usually only eat beef and mutton because of their customs and habits.
You can see many blockhouses made of stones and wood in Tibetan area. Besides, the colourful jacket with jewellery and long sleeves is also one of Tibetan costume's features.
We all know that people are good at singing and dancing, but the most admirable thing is that their music styles and the content of lyrics are also various.
