Edinburgh summer festivals 2023
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe
Set up in 1947, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the world’s largest performance arts festival.

“The value of people cannot be defined,” this is the philosophy by which Majda Gibran, better known in Egypt as “Mama Maggie”, lives. She devoted over three decades of her life to serving the less fortunate. Her work empowered over 33,000 children in Cairo to achieve their potential and successfully leave Cairo’s slums (贫民窟).
Her story begins with what was meant to be a quick visit to the slums in Cairo. She knew right away she would devote the rest of her life to helping those in need especially children. The scenes of poverty in the slums forever changed her life. Mama Maggie soon abandoned the comforts of her previous life and quit her job as an American University professor to lend a helping hand to those who needed her most.
She began sharing meals, gifts and basic necessities to less fortunate families in the slums. Her warmth and sincerity gave residents a sense of hope and dignity. In 1985, Mama Maggie founded the Stephen’s Children Foundation, with the mission to empower children and young people to lead their own development and lift them out of poverty. The foundation provides education and training to thousands of children living in poverty. Over the last few years, the foundation has extended its social and educational initiatives to thousands of families and children in other poor neighborhoods.
To date, Mama Maggie has established 92 educational centres nationwide to teach over 18,000 children and carried out healthcare campaigns that provides treatment to over 40,000 patients annually. She conducts visits to more than 13,000 children to provide training services. Her foundation’s three training centres for mothers and children empower families to earn their own income. Her foundation has benefited over 33,000 children, with the help of about 2,000 volunteers, and it is still growing today.
Mama Maggie, a Nobel Prize nominee (被提名人), never sought fame or reward for her work. She desires to be remembered as a hope maker who made a difference in the lives of every person that crossed her path.
4. What inspired Mama Maggie’s devotion to the less fortunate
A. Her visit to the slums. B. The quitting of her previous work.
C. The saying of a philosopher. D. The potential of the less fortunate.
5. The foundation was mainly intended to .

C. promote the local education D. bring the poor hopeful prospects
6. Why are the figures listed in paragraph 4
A. To imply the celebrity of Mama Maggie.
B. To demonstrate the rise of the foundation.
C. To stress the contribution of Mama Maggie.
D. To illustrate the popularity of the foundation.
7. Which words can best describe Mama Maggie
A. Considerate and optimistic. B. Caring and devoted.

By the time most of the world discovered the kipunji monkey, it was already seriously endangered. These rare animals live in Tanzania and is not closely related to any other known monkeys. Thanks to smart protection efforts, their population is accumulating.
Kipunji monkeys live in groups and spend most of their time in trees. Local hunters knew about them, but researchers first identified the species in the early 2000s. A 2007survey found 1, 117 of the animals alive. Experts from organizations such as the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) stepped in to try to save the species.
One method of protecting kipunji monkeys was to reduce conflict between the monkeys and humans. Kipunji often come out of the forest to steal bananas, and carrots from farms, leading farmers to set traps that can kill the monkeys. So WCS workers put unpleasant things such as chili oil (辣椒油) on the leaves of the crops to keep the monkeys away. Farmers have also started growing crops like potatoes, which the monkeys are less interested in eating.
To discourage people from cutting down trees in the kipunji’s habitats (栖息地), the WCS has established other sources of wood. Kipunji habitats have been turned into protected parks and reserves.
So far, their efforts have been successful. A 2022 study found that the area in which the monkeys live has increased in size by nearly 20%, and their population has risen to 1, 966 animals. If the efforts continue, the population of kipunji monkey could double in 25 years. “It’s not perfect,” former WCS director Tim Davenport said. “But it’s in a considerably better place than it used to be.”
8. What does the underlined word “accumulating” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Unchanging. B. Declining. C. Increasing. D. Disappearing.
9. What did the local farmers do to keep the monkeys away
A. Put chili oil on the crops. B. Grow crops they like less.
C. Turn their habitats into parks. D. Hunt down and kill them.
10 Why have other sources of wood been established
A. To protect the kipunji’s habitats. B. To make profit from the wood.
C. To educate the local villagers. D. To develop the local economy.
11. Which statement will Tim Davenport probably agree with
A. Kipunji monkeys’ current living condition is perfect.
B. The number of kipunji monkey will double in 25 years.
C. The WCS hasn’t done enough in protecting the monkey.
D. Continuous efforts should be made to protect the kipunji.
D
Scientists say they have found detailed evidence of ancient rivers on Mars. The discovery supported existing evidence that Mars once had water. The researchers said their findings suggested rivers may have flowed on the surface of Mars for hundreds of thousands of years.
These images were captured by a camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The camera is able to take detailed pictures of the surface while orbiting the planet from about 400 kilometers away. A team of scientists studied the images, which showed a valley network on Mars.
The team was led by Francesco Salese, a geologist at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Salese said the scientists studied sedimentary (沉淀物) rocks from a 200 meters high rocky cliff. Sedimentary rocks form when sedimented (使沉积) and transported by water or wind.
“These are sedimentary rocks and were formed by rivers that were likely active for over 100,000 years,” Salese said, adding even without the ability to examine the cliff area on Mars, the pictures show strong similarities to sedimentary rocks found on the earth.
William McMahon is another geologist who was part of the investigation team. He said sedimentary rocks have long been studied on the earth to learn what conditions were like on our planet millions or even billions of years ago. Another leader of the team was Joel Davis, a researcher with Britain’s Natural History Museum. He said scientists had never before been able to examine such a rock formation with such great detail. They created 3D images of the area to get a more detailed understanding of it, which suggested some ancient Martian rivers were several meters deep.
12. What is the text mainly about
A. Scientists are able to study rock formation on Mars.
B. Scientists found evidence that there was water on Mars.
C. Mars sedimentary has many similarities to that on the earth.
D. A camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took pictures of the planet.
13. How did researchers make the findings
A. By comparing data.
B. By analyzing images.
C. By studying rivers on the earth.
D. By observing Mars through a telescope.
14. What was Joel Davis’ attitude towards the discovery
A. Excited. B. Unsatisfied. C. Unexpected. D. Disappointed.
15. Where is the text most likely from
A. A novel. B. A notebook. C. A travel guide. D. A newspaper.

47. 阅读下面短文, 根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段, 使之构成一个完整的故事。
I was sixteen years old and I loved music very much. I was dying to buy an album by my favourite band. However, the pocket money my parents gave me was just enough to get by. I didn’t have any extra money to buy the album (音乐专辑), which made me disappointed.
Luckily, I found that there were many opportunities for part-time work in my neighbourhood. There were so many old people who needed help. So, in order to buy the album I wanted, I decided to find a part-time job to earn money.
I chose the oldest person I knew, Mrs. Hudson, who was over eighty years old, and could not tend her garden anymore. She had flowers, a grass lawn, and some tomato plants. I knocked on her door, trying to build up enough courage to ask her for work. Fortunately, she answered that she indeed needed help in her garden.
That was a really hot summer day. My first job was to pull out weeds. I got down on my knees and began to pull them out one by one. The task was tiring and boring, and I soon became really tired. However, thinking of the album I wanted, I gathered all my energy and kept moving.
“If only I had a portable electric fan (便携式电风扇)!” I said to myself, wiping the sweat from my face. After several hours of hard work, I was paid ten dollars. It was less than I thought, but it was enough for the album.
After getting that ten dollars, I couldn’t wait to go to the supermarket to buy my favourite album. I believed it would be a memorable moment when I was able to buy what I liked through my efforts.
On the way to the supermarket, I was singing a song excitedly when I happened to see my mother who was working on the opposite side of the road. Actually, I had never seen how she worked before; I just knew she was a saleswoman.
注意：
1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;

Paragraph 1:
My mother was handing out leaflets (传单) to passers-by.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I continued making my way to the supermarket.

By the time most of the world discovered the kipunji monkey, it was already seriously endangered. These rare animals live in Tanzania and is not closely related to any other known monkeys. Thanks to smart protection efforts, their population is accumulating.
Kipunji monkeys live in groups and spend most of their time in trees. Local hunters knew about them, but researchers first identified the species in the early 2000s. A 2007survey found 1, 117 of the animals alive. Experts from organizations such as the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) stepped in to try to save the species.
One method of protecting kipunji monkeys was to reduce conflict between the monkeys and humans. Kipunji often come out of the forest to steal bananas, and carrots from farms, leading farmers to set traps that can kill the monkeys. So WCS workers put unpleasant things such as chili oil (辣椒油) on the leaves of the crops to keep the monkeys away. Farmers have also started growing crops like potatoes, which the monkeys are less interested in eating.
To discourage people from cutting down trees in the kipunji’s habitats (栖息地), the WCS has established other sources of wood. Kipunji habitats have been turned into protected parks and reserves.
So far, their efforts have been successful. A 2022 study found that the area in which the monkeys live has increased in size by nearly 20%, and their population has risen to 1, 966 animals. If the efforts continue, the population of kipunji monkey could double in 25 years. “It’s not perfect,” former WCS director Tim Davenport said. “But it’s in a considerably better place than it used to be.”
8. What does the underlined word “accumulating” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Unchanging. B. Declining. C. Increasing. D. Disappearing.
9. What did the local farmers do to keep the monkeys away
A. Put chili oil on the crops. B. Grow crops they like less.
C. Turn their habitats into parks. D. Hunt down and kill them.
10. Why have other sources of wood been established
A. To protect the kipunji’s habitats. B. To make profit from the wood.
C. To educate the local villagers. D. To develop the local economy.
11. Which statement will Tim Davenport probably agree with
A. Kipunji monkeys’ current living condition is perfect.
B. The number of kipunji monkey will double in 25 years.
C. The WCS hasn’t done enough in protecting the monkey.
D. Continuous efforts should be made to protect the kipunji.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是多亏了明智的保护措施，濒临灭绝的kipunji猴的数量正在增加。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“By the time most of the world discovered the kipunji monkey, it was already seriously endangered.(当世界上大多数人发现kipunji猴时，它已经严重濒危了。)”和“Thanks to smart protection efforts, their population(多亏了明智的保护措施，它们的数量)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“多亏了明智的保护措施，它们的数量正在增加”，划线词accumulating的意思是“增加”，和increasing的意思相近，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Farmers have also started growing crops like potatoes, which the monkeys are less interested in eating.(农民们也开始种植像土豆这样的作物，猴子对吃这些不太感兴趣。)”可知，当地农民种植猴子不喜欢的作物来赶走猴子。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“To discourage people from cutting down trees in the kipunji’s habitats (栖息地), the WCS has established other sources of wood.(为了阻止人们砍伐kipunji栖息地的树木，WCS建立了其他木材来源。)”可知，建立了其他的木材来源是为了保护kipunji的栖息地。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“If the efforts continue, the population of kipunji monkey could double in 25 years.(如果这种努力继续下去，基普吉猴的数量可能在25年内翻一番。)”和““It’s not perfect,” former WCS director Tim Davenport said. “But it’s in a considerably better place than it used to be.”(“这并不完美，”前WCS主任Tim Davenport说。“但它的处境比以前好得多。”)”可知，Tim Davenport可能会同意的是应继续努力保护kipunji。故选D。

Scientists say they have found detailed evidence of ancient rivers on Mars. The discovery supported existing evidence that Mars once had water. The researchers said their findings suggested rivers may have flowed on the surface of Mars for hundreds of thousands of years.
These images were captured by a camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The camera is able to take detailed pictures of the surface while orbiting the planet from about 400 kilometers away. A team of scientists studied the images, which showed a valley network on Mars.
The team was led by Francesco Salese, a geologist at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Salese said the scientists studied sedimentary (沉淀物) rocks from a 200 meters high rocky cliff. Sedimentary rocks form when sedimented (使沉积) and transported by water or wind.
“These are sedimentary rocks and were formed by rivers that were likely active for over 100,000 years,” Salese said, adding even without the ability to examine the cliff area on Mars, the pictures show strong similarities to sedimentary rocks found on the earth.
William McMahon is another geologist who was part of the investigation team. He said sedimentary rocks have long been studied on the earth to learn what conditions were like on our planet millions or even billions of years ago. Another leader of the team was Joel Davis, a researcher with Britain’s Natural History Museum. He said scientists had never before been able to examine such a rock formation with such great detail. They created 3D images of the area to get a more detailed understanding of it, which suggested some ancient Martian rivers were several meters deep.
12. What is the text mainly about
A. Scientists are able to study rock formation on Mars.
B. Scientists found evidence that there was water on Mars.
C. Mars sedimentary has many similarities to that on the earth.
D. A camera on NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter took pictures of the planet.
13. How did researchers make the findings
A. By comparing data.
B. By analyzing images.
C. By studying rivers on the earth.
D. By observing Mars through a telescope.
14. What was Joel Davis’ attitude towards the discovery
A. Excited. B. Unsatisfied. C. Unexpected. D. Disappointed.
15. Where is the text most likely from
A. A novel. B. A notebook. C. A travel guide. D. A newspaper.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了科学家们发现了火星上曾经有水的证据。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。由第一段“Scientists say they have found detailed evidence of ancient rivers on Mars. The discovery supported existing evidence that Mars once had water. (科学家们说，他们已经发现了火星上古代河流存在的详细证据。这一发现支持了火星曾经有水的现有证据)”可知，这篇文章主要讲解了一项研究发现，即科学家们发现了火星上曾经有水的证据。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The camera is able to take detailed pictures of the surface while orbiting the planet from about 400 kilometers away. A team of scientists studied the images, which showed a valley network on Mars. (该相机能够在距离地球约400公里的轨道上拍摄火星表面的详细照片。一组科学家研究了这些图像，这些图像显示了火星上的一个山谷网络)”可知，科学家们是通过研究拍摄的图像得出了结论。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“He said scientists had never before been able to examine such a rock formation with such great detail. They created 3D images of the area to get a more detailed understanding of it, which suggested some ancient Martian rivers were several meters deep. (他说，科学家们以前从未能够如此详细地研究过这样的岩层。他们制作了该地区的3D图像，以更详细地了解它，这表明一些古老的火星河流有几米深)”可知Joel Davis提及到之前是不能详细研究这样岩层的，而现在他们可以通过3D图像以更详细地了解它，由此推出他对于这一发现是“激动”的。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，这篇文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，即科学家们发现了火星上曾经有水的证据。所以该文章最有可能出自科学“报纸”上。故选D。

47. 阅读下面短文, 根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段, 使之构成一个完整的故事。
I was sixteen years old and I loved music very much. I was dying to buy an album by my favourite band. However, the pocket money my parents gave me was just enough to get by. I didn’t have any extra money to buy the album (音乐专辑), which made me disappointed.
Luckily, I found that there were many opportunities for part-time work in my neighbourhood. There were so many old people who needed help. So, in order to buy the album I wanted, I decided to find a part-time job to earn money.
I chose the oldest person I knew, Mrs. Hudson, who was over eighty years old, and could not tend her garden anymore. She had flowers, a grass lawn, and some tomato plants. I knocked on her door, trying to build up enough courage to ask her for work. Fortunately, she answered that she indeed needed help in her garden.
That was a really hot summer day. My first job was to pull out weeds. I got down on my knees and began to pull them out one by one. The task was tiring and boring, and I soon became really tired. However, thinking of the album I wanted, I gathered all my energy and kept moving.
“If only I had a portable electric fan (便携式电风扇)!” I said to myself, wiping the sweat from my face. After several hours of hard work, I was paid ten dollars. It was less than I thought, but it was enough for the album.
After getting that ten dollars, I couldn’t wait to go to the supermarket to buy my favourite album. I believed it would be a memorable moment when I was able to buy what I liked through my efforts.
On the way to the supermarket, I was singing a song excitedly when I happened to see my mother who was working on the opposite side of the road. Actually, I had never seen how she worked before; I just knew she was a saleswoman.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
My mother was handing out leaflets to passers-by. Under the burning sun, her T-shirt was damp with sweat. She would give a leaflet to everyone that passed by, with an eager smile on her face. Some people just walked right past her while some others would refuse by waving their hands. There were also some people who would accept the leaflet politely but throw it into a garbage can right away. Seeing that scene, I couldn’t help but feel bad. I never considered my mother’s work to be so hard.
Paragraph 2:
I continued making my way to the supermarket. However, when I found the album I had been longing for, my mother’s sweaty face came to my mind and I hesitated. I gave up buying the album and bought a portable electric fan instead. Then I returned to the place where my mother worked. She was obviously surprised to see me standing in front of her. When I took out the fan, telling her that it was for her, she was moved to tears and then broke into a happy smile. It was when I saw a big smile on her face that I understood the true value of money.
