Music festivals in Europe
Visiting a festival abroad can be a great reason to travel and a way to experience different cultures. These days there is such a number of choices that it’s possible to spend the whole summer watching live music in exciting places. Of course, it’s also a chance to meet people from across the world.
Melt! Festival, Germany
This festival takes place on the site of an open air museum for industrial machinery. There’s also a lake which can be used for swimming when it’s hot. This year’s line-up has over 120 different bands (乐队). Around 90% of the people attending the festival are German providing a perfect chance to practise speaking the language.
Exit Festival, Serbia
Set on the banks of the Danube in an old fortress (城堡), the festival began as a way to show people’s dissatisfaction with the government. These days it’s less political (政治的) but still worries about people who are poor, ill, old, etc and tries to help them. This year’s festival will host many famous bands. From electronic music and dance music to hard rock, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival, Scotland
Set on a Scottish estate (庄园) near Inverness, this year Belladrum will welcome artists from around the world. The most enjoyable part of the weekend is the ceilidh(traditional Scottish dance and party) which is always a lively event. It doesn’t even matter if you’re a beginner because the band teaches you each dance.
Open’er Festival, Poland
Held in an airfield near the northern city of Gdansk, each year Open’er has a seriously good selection (精选品) of bands. This year is no exception, with many famous bands set to play.

As a means of dealing with loneliness and social isolation (孤立) in English towns, local police forces have begun providing specific public benches that can be used for making friends and having conversations.
The “Chat Benches”, which are now located in two different parks and outdoor areas in Somerset, are recognized by a little sign reading: “Sit here if you don’t mind someone stopping to say hello!”
The Avon and Somerset Police Department Facebook page recently published photos of their two new “Chat Benches” in Burnham and Taunton with an encouraging note for readers to stop by and use them for socialization (社交). “The sign simply helps to break the silence between strangers who find themselves sharing a common place,” says the police department. “We can all play a part. Simply stopping to say ‘hello’ to someone at the ‘Chat Bench’ could make life a little better for many people.”
According to a survey of the department, 17% of old people are only in contact with family, friends and neighbors less than once a week. This rises to about 9 million British people who suffer from loneliness and isolation each year.
The police force started the Chat Bench earlier this month to go with World Elder Abuse (虐待) Awareness Day. Though the officers say that there are many different forms of elder abuse which need our concern (关心), they hope that the Chat Bench will help to deal with senior loneliness in their communities. “The Chat Bench is a fantastic new thing and I hope people of all ages start many more conversations in the future,” says Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens.
24. What can we know about the Chat Bench according to the text
A. It is intended for prisoners. B. It can be seen in every English town.
C. It has helped many people get rid of loneliness. D. It has signs encouraging strangers to start conversations.
25. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4
A. Most old people in Britain live alone. B. The British pay less attention to mental health.
C. The British have little interest in social activities. D. Increasing British old people feel lonely and isolated.
26. What can be concluded from Sue Mountstevens’ words in the last paragraph
A. He has high expectations for the Chat Bench.
B. Elder abuse hasn’t drawn public attention.
C. He doesn’t think people can enjoy using the Chat Bench.
D. Senior loneliness has been a serious social problem in Britain.
27. What could be the best title for the text

C. British police find communication areas in the towns
D. British police create “Chat Benches” to fight social isolation

Art therapy(疗法）is a kind of treatment that integrates mental health and human services by using the active
art-making,creative process,applied psychological(心理学的）theory, and human experience.Its goal is to help
people explore self-expression and, in doing so, find new ways to gain personal understanding and develop new
self-management skills.
"Art therapy didn't start to become a formal programme until the 1940s in the US," says Dr.Cassady ,a senior clinical psychologist."The creation or appreciation of art is used to help people explore emotions,develop self-awareness, deal with stress,boost self-esteem, and work on social skills.”
The founder of Niyo Arts Gallery that holds art therapy activities shares how art therapy helps people."A person is mentally ill because of being deviated(偏离） from what he has lived or has gone through.So, when they get time
to relax and interact with art which is also spiritual,it helps them a lot psychologically. When they paint,their creativ--ity interprets what they think and they can heal through that.".
Art therapy can be employed as a non-verbal alternative to treat a wide range of mental disorders and psychological distress(痛苦), some of which include ageing-related issues, anxiety, stress cancer, depression, eating disorders,
emotional difficulties,family or relationship problems and post-traumatic stress disorder(创伤后应激障碍）etc.
People do not need to have artistic ability or special talent to participate in art therapy, and people of all ages,
including children and adults, can benefit from it. Some research suggests that just the presence of art can play a part in boosting mental health.
People often wonder how an art therapy activity differs from an art class.According to Dr. Cassady,an art class
is focused on teaching techniques or creating a specific finished product,while art therapy is more about letting
clients focus on their inner experience when they are encouraged to create art that expresses their inner world more
than making something that is an expression of the outer world,which stimulates(刺激)the release of dopamine(多
巴胺）,a chemical that is released when people do something pleasurable that basically makes them feel happier,
promoting healing and mental well-being.“Research-based evidence shows that increased levels of this feel-good
chemical can be very helpful if you are battling anxiety or depression,"Dr.Cassady says.
Which one can replace the word”integrates” in paragraph 1？
A.cure B. combine C.conserve D. experience
Which one is True according to the text
Art therapy didn't start to become a formal programme until the 1940s in the world.
The creation or appreciation of art is used to help people reduce self-esteem.
People do not need to have artistic ability or special talent to participate in art therapy.
D.Art therapy can be used to treat all mental disorders and psychological distress.
What does “which” in the last paragraph refer to
A.an expression of the outer world B.creating art in art therapy
C. clients D. inner experience
31. Where can we find this article
A. a novel B. an experiment book C.an entertainment newspaper D. a scientific magzine
D
According to the Solar Energy Industry Association, the number of solar panels installed ( 安装) has grown rapidly in the past decade, and it has to grow even faster to meet climate goals. But all of that growth will take up a lot of space, and though more and more people accept the concept of solar energy, few like large solar panels to be installed near them.
Solar developers want to put up panels as quickly and cheaply as possible, so they haven't given much thought to what they put under them. Often, they'll end up filling the area with small stones and using chemicals to control weeds. The result is that many communities, especially in farming regions, see solar farms as destroyers of the soil.
“Solar projects need to be good neighbors,” says Jordan Macknick, the head of the Innovative Site Preparation and Impact Reductions on the Environment(InSPIRE) project. “They need to be protectors of the land and contribute to the agricultural economy.” InSPIRE is investigating practical approaches to “low-impact” solar development, which focuses on establishing and operating solar farms in a way that is kinder to the land. One of the easiest low-impact solar strategies is providing habitat for pollinators(传粉昆虫).
Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change have caused dramatic declines in pollinator populations over the
past couple of decades, which has damaged the U.S. agricultural economy. Over 28 states have passed laws related to pollinator habitat protection and pesticide use. Conservation organizations put out pollinator-friendliness guidelines for home gardens, businesses, schools, cities—and now there are guidelines for solar farms.
Over the past few years, many solar farm developers have transformed the space under their solar panels into a shelter for various kinds of pollinators, resulting in soil improvement and carbon reduction. “These pollinator-friendly solar farms can have a valuable impact on everything that's going on in the landscape,” says Macknick.
32.What do solar developers often ignore
A.The decline in the demand for solar energy. B.The negative impact of installing solar panels.
C.The rising labor cost of building solar farms. D.The most recent advances in solar technology.
33.What does InSPIRE aim to do
A.Improve the productivity of local farms. B.Invent new methods for controlling weeds.
C.Make solar projects environmentally friendly. D.Promote the use of solar energy in rural areas.
34.What is the purpose of the laws mentioned in paragraph 4
A. To conserve pollinators. B. To restrict solar development.
C. To diversify the economy. D. To ensure the supply of energy.
35.Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Pollinators: To Leave or to Stay B. Solar Energy: Hope for the Future
C. InSPIRE: A Leader in Agriculture D. Solar Farms: A New Development

Coloring books are no longer just for children! In fact adult coloring books are topping bestseller lists. Why have adults decided to start coloring again ___36___
It is to relieve stress and anxiety.
___37___ They take on full-time jobs that often demand more than 40 hours a week, equally as part-time jobs, family responsibilities.

Good Books Can Affect Our Life
It is universally acknowledged that books are of vital importance, without which our life would be lonely, monotonous and colorless. Books are to life what water is to fish.
There are a wide variety of books, ranging from science, art, culture to history, among which culture is always my favorite with its novelty and uniqueness. Books on culture have found their way into every aspect of my life. To begin with, book reading enriches my extracurricular life and gives me a sense of fulfillment. Furthermore, I can accumulate abundant knowledge about various cultures without going out. Finally, roaming in the ocean of knowledge and making a comparison between different cultures can broaden my horizons, thus instructing me to view things from different perspectives.
As Francis Bacon once said, reading makes a full man. A good book can affect our life in one way or another. To live an enjoyable and meaningful life, let's read more good books!
