Despite the challenges, I was determined to make the most of the opportunity.
Shortly after arriving, I kept a rescue dog that I named Marley. She helped me find my footing in the new country and kept me company when I was homesick. She was afraid of loud noise, and it took time and effort to help her become more comfortable in a new environment. This taught me patience.
I was determined to learn Spanish. I took classes and practiced the language by talking to the locals. As I slowly began to pick up the language, I realized that understanding the culture and the history was exciting and it was more than just remembering vocabulary and grammar. Soon, it was about making the most of the experience.
I’ve been in Mexico for a few years now, and I can confidently say that I am doing well here.

Celebrating the Harvest Around the World
A harvest festival is a celebration of the fall months and the harvest that often accompanies these months. Many countries celebrate harvest festivals in different forms.
Canada
In Canada, people celebrate their harvest on Thanksgiving. This tradition is said to date back to the 16th century. The English explorer Martin Frobisher(1535—1594) came upon the land, searching for the “New World”. As he arrived in Canada in 1578, he celebrated surviving the long journey by holding a formal celebration and eating salt beef and peas. Today, it has become a recognized holiday in the country that falls on the second Monday in October. On Thanksgiving, most return home to gather with their family. One of the highlights(高潮) of the holiday is a big Thanksgiving Day meal, which usually includes turkey and bread, which are prepared and presented in a unique Canadian way.
The United Kingdom
Harvest festival activities are considered a special time for communities to come together in celebration. The harvest festival may start with carrying baskets of fruits and vegetables to a local church where people sing praise songs for a healthy harvest while praying for future harvests. A special effort may be made to give food to the less fortunate. Large dinners may also be hosted where each member brings a special dish to share with each other.
China
In 2023, the Farmers’ Harvest Festival was launched in China. It’s held on the day of the autumn equinox(秋分), which falls roughly on Sept. 22 or 23. Every year, a range of events are organized nationwide. In Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, farmers brought 100 seed varieties to the main site of the ceremony in Hanhu District and placed them in a wall to mark the achievements of the seed industry. In Heilongjiang Province, the festival was combined with local traditions of the Daur people and the locals danced around bonfires.
21. Originally, Thanksgiving was celebrated in Canada for .
A. their harvest B. finding the new world
C. surviving the long journey D. gathering with their family
22. Harvest festival activities may be held in the UK EXCEPT .
A. attending a church service B. donating food to the poor
C. sharing food at a dinner party D. dancing around bonfires
23. Which of the following statements is probably NOT true
A. Different countries celebrate their harvest in different ways.
B. There are similarities in celebrating the harvest among different places.
C. The Farmers’ Harvest Festival is an annually nationwide thing in China.
D. Local traditions are included in celebrating the harvest around China.
【答案】21. C 22. D 23. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是应用文。文章介绍了加拿大、英国和中国的丰收节。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Canada部分的“This tradition is said to date back to the 16th century. The English explorer Martin Frobisher(1535—1594) came upon the land, searching for the “New World”. As he arrived in Canada in 1578, he celebrated surviving the long journey by holding a formal celebration and eating salt beef and peas. (据说这个传统可以追溯到16世纪。英国探险家Martin Frobisher(1535-1594)来到这片土地寻找“新世界”。1578年，当他到达加拿大时，他举行了正式的庆祝活动，吃咸牛肉和豌豆，庆祝自己在长途旅行中幸存下来)”可知，在加拿大最初庆祝感恩节是为了庆祝从长途跋涉中幸存下来。故选C。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据The United Kingdom部分的“The harvest festival may start with carrying baskets of fruits and vegetables to a local church where people sing praise songs for a healthy harvest while praying for future harvests. A special effort may be made to give food to the less fortunate. Large dinners may also be hosted where each member brings a special dish to share with each other.(丰收节可能从提着篮子的水果和蔬菜到当地教堂开始，人们在那里唱赞美诗，祈求健康的收成，同时祈祷未来的丰收。可能会做出特别的努力，向不幸的人提供食物。大型的晚餐也可以由每个成员带一道特别的菜来与彼此分享)”可知，在英国丰收节人们要参加教堂礼拜，向不幸的人提供食物，在大型晚餐上分享食物。D项“围着篝火跳舞”文章没有提及。故选D。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据China部分的“Every year, a range of events are organized nationwide. In Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, farmers brought 100 seed varieties to the main site of the ceremony in Hanhu District and placed them in a wall to mark the achievements of the seed industry. In Heilongjiang Province, the festival was combined with local traditions of the Daur people and the locals danced around bonfires.(每年，全国都会组织一系列的活动。在浙江省嘉兴市，农民们带着100个品种的种子来到汉湖区的仪式主会场，并把它们挂在墙上，以纪念种业的成就。在黑龙江省，这个节日与当地达斡尔人的传统相结合，当地人围着篝火跳舞)”可知，在中国，丰收节的庆祝活动并非都包含了当地的传统，文中提到的浙江嘉兴的庆祝活动与当地习俗无关。D项“中国各地的庆祝丰收活动都包含了当地的传统”描述错误。故选D。
B
As a teenager, Gray would collect mushrooms (蘑菇) with her family in Cape Town, South Africa, and after moving to the coast 14 years ago, she fully accepted wild foraging ( 搜 寻 食 物). Gray started experimenting with wild flavors, adding edible flowers and herbs to iced teas and cakes.
She became a personal wild food cook foraging daily for ingredients down the coast in the summer. “I believe that food that is picked as fresh as possible and as close to your location as possible is the best for you,” Gray says, “and wild foods meet all those requirements.”
Wild foods are considered to be anything not planted by humans. They’re sourced depending on the season. There is no shortage of options in the Cape Floral Region — recognized by UNESCO as one of the most special places on Earth for plant biodiversity. More than 9,000 plant species grow in this region.
“Foraging here supplied the main food for the Khoikhoi people, one of the oldest people on Earth,” according to Mark Heistein, CEO of Cape Winelands Biosphere Reserve. Hundreds of these ingredients are also believed to have medicinal qualities, says Heistein, “like rooibos tea, considered a health tea, which is exported worldwide.”
Since 2017, Gray has been sharing her love of the edible landscape with locals and tourists through seasonal workshops around 10 kilometers south of Cape Town. She has taught thousands of people how to forage.
When COVID-19 hit South Africa and the country entered lockdown, Gray was unable to run her group workshops in person, but she continued to find a growing fanbase online. She has run 10 online workshops for groups during lockdown.
“It’s very ironic (讽刺的) to be able to create this connection for people to nature through a screen,” Gray says. “The true foragers are not on any social media platforms — they’re the ones who are doing the work in the mountains and out in the wild.”
24. What does the underlined word “edible” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Poisonous. B. Delicious. C. Eatable. D. Sweet.
25. Why is the Cape Floral Region mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To call on people to protect the environment.
B. To show the resources the local people enjoy.
C. To praise the contribution of the local people to nature.
D. To stress the importance of preserving plant biodiversity.
26. What is Mark Heistein’s attitude toward foraging
A. Worried. B. Carefree. C. Surprised. D. Favorable.
27. What can be learnt about the workshops run by Gray
A. They are held in Cape Town.
B. They are growing in popularity.
C. They were closed during lockdown.
D. They were bringing the locals together.
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一位名叫Gray的青少年如何与家人一起在南非的开普敦采集蘑菇，并在移居海岸后开始对野生食物进行试验和创新。
【24题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“As a teenager, Gray would collect mushrooms ( 蘑菇) with her family in Cape Town, South Africa, and after moving to the coast 14 years ago, she fully accepted wild foraging ( 搜 寻 食 物). Gray started experimenting with wild flavors, adding edible flowers and herbs to iced teas and cakes. (十几岁时，Gray会和家人一起在南非开普敦采集蘑菇，14年前搬到海边后，她完全接受了野外觅食。Gray开始尝试野生口味，在冰茶和蛋糕中加入……的鲜花和香草。)”可知，Gray一家半岛海边后开始尝试野生的食材，并且在食物添加，推知，这些野生食材是可食用的，划线单词edible的含义应为“可食用的”，故选C项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Wild foods are considered to be anything not planted by humans. They’re sourced depending on the season. There is no shortage of options in the Cape Floral Region — recognized by UNESCO as one of the most special places on Earth for plant biodiversity. More than 9,000 plant species grow in this region. (野生食物被认为是任何不是人类种植的东西。它们的来源取决于季节。开普花区不乏选择，被联合国教科文组织认定为地球上植物生物多样性最特殊的地方之一。该地区生长着9, 000多种植物。)”可知，作者提到开普敦花卉区是为了展示当地人民享受的资源，故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Hundreds of these ingredients are also believed to have medicinal qualities, says Heistein, “like rooibos tea, considered a health tea, which is exported worldwide.” (Heistein说，数百种这些成分也被认为具有药用价值，“比如路易波士茶，被认为是一种健康茶，出口到世界各地。)”可知，Mark Heistein的态度是赞成的，故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段中“She has taught thousands of people how to forage. (她教了成千上万的人如何觅食。)”可知，她的工作室越来越受欢迎，故选B项。
C
During the 1800s, African Americans worked long days in the fields of the American South. To make the time go faster, they sang “field hollers (叫喊)” that they used to sing in Africa. After the Civil War, African American music began to take new forms. It also adapted dance music, called “jump-ups”, which had great rhythm (节奏). By the early 1900s, the guitar had become the main instrument of the blues.
Northern Mississippi, also known as the Delta, was the center of the blues tradition. By the 1920s, the Delta had many blues clubs called “juke joints”. African Americans listened and danced to music in these clubs. Some of the greatest blues singers and players performed in them.
Blues have a soulful (深情的) sound that listeners can easily recognize. The musical notes are often “bent”. This means that players change the notes slightly to give a song more strength. Whatever their origin, these bent notes most often define the blues．
Lyrics are the words of a song. Blues lyrics describe everyday life. The lyrics are often very intense and personal. They tell about sad times and hard work. They describe people who find or lose love, people who have money or wish for more, and people who feel happy or sad and lonely. The lyrics may use humor to describe life’s trials and joys. They almost always use the rhythms of everyday speech.
By the 1940s, large numbers of African Americans had left the Delta and moved north to find work. Many settled in Chicago. A new kind of blues, called “electric” or “Chicago” blues, began there. It used many of the same themes as the original blues. However, the new style of blues was played with electric guitars that “wailed” and with mouth instruments called harmonicas. The music often included a steady, strong drumbeat. The loud, intense Chicago blues was excellent dance music. Chicago blues led to the creation of a new music style: rock and roll.
28. What can you conclude about the blues music from the article
A. It has been successful only in the American South.
B. It became a way to communicate and express feelings.
C. It would not have started without the juke joints of Mississippi.
D. It has spread in America due to several African musicians.
29. Why probably did African Americans move to Chicago
A. They liked Chicago blues. B. More jobs were available there.
C. The South was too hot in the summer. D. People in Chicago appreciated their music.
pared with the Delta blues style, the Chicago blues style .
A. used more bent notes. B. used humor in the lyrics more often.
C. was louder and used some different instruments. D. was much more popular.
31. Which of the following would the author probably agree
A. Blues music can communicate many human emotions.
B. Blues music focuses mainly on the sadness of everyday life.
C. Delta blues music is the only real blues music.
D. The musicians of blues music were mostly in poor conditions.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了蓝调音乐的形成与发展史，以及蓝调音乐所用乐器和音调、歌词的特征。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Blues lyrics describe everyday life. The lyrics are often very intense and personal. They tell about sad times and hard work. They describe people who find or lose love, people who have money or wish for more, and people who feel happy or sad and lonely. (蓝调歌词描述的是日常生活。歌词往往是非常激烈和个人。他们讲述了悲伤的时光和艰苦的工作。他们描述了那些找到或失去爱的人，那些有钱或希望得到更多的人，以及那些感到快乐或悲伤和孤独的人)”可推测出蓝调描述日常生活，表达人们情绪，所以成为了一种人们表达情感和沟通的方式。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“By the 1940s, large numbers of African Americans had left the Delta and moved north to find work. Many settled in Chicago. (到20世纪40年代，大量非裔美国人离开三角洲，到北方找工作。许多人在芝加哥定居)”可知，许多非裔美国人搬到芝加哥的目的是为了找工作。故选B。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段转折后“However, the new style of blues was played with electric guitars that “wailed” and with mouth instruments called harmonicas. The music often included a steady, strong drumbeat. The loud, intense Chicago blues was excellent dance music. (然而，新的蓝调风格是用“哀号”的电吉他和口琴演奏的。这种音乐通常包括稳定而有力的鼓点。响亮而强烈的芝加哥蓝调是极好的舞曲)”可知芝加哥蓝调对比于原来的三角洲蓝调，使用了不同的乐器（电吉他和口琴），而且声音响亮而强烈。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Blues lyrics describe everyday life. The lyrics are often very intense and personal. They tell about sad times and hard work. They describe people who find or lose love, people who have money or wish for more, and people who feel happy or sad and lonely. The lyrics may use humor to describe life’s trials and joys. They almost always use the rhythms of everyday speech. (蓝调歌词描述的是日常生活。歌词往往是非常激烈和个人。他们讲述了悲伤的时光和艰苦的工作。他们描述了那些找到或失去爱的人，那些有钱或希望得到更多的人，以及那些感到快乐或悲伤和孤独的人。歌词可以用幽默来描述生活中的考验和快乐。他们几乎总是使用日常讲话的节奏)”可知，通过蓝调描述日常生活，可以去传达人们的多种情绪，如快乐、悲伤或孤独。故选A。
D
As a Chinese native religion, Taoism has a close relationship with Chinese folk customs. With the development of Taoism, it has become deep-rooted in, and the practices of, the ordinary people. This can be seen both in Taoist religious festivals and sacrifice-offerings.
There are many Taoist festivals, and quite a few of them have evolved into folk festivals. For example, the Double Ninth Festival on September 9 of lunar calendar came from the Taoist festival. It is said that in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), there was a Taoist immortal named Fei Changfang, who was resourceful enough to drive all devils away. At that time, he had a pupil called Huan Jing. One day, Fei Changfang foresaw a disaster on September 9 in Huan Jing’s family, and told Huan Jing to fasten a bundle of dogwood onto his arm, and drink chrysanthemum wine in an elevated place so as to prevent the disaster. Having done what he had been told, Huan Jing’s family was indeed safe and sound. Along with the spreading of Taoism, this legend has evolved into the Double Ninth Festival. When the day comes, people will carry dogwood and drink chrysanthemum wine in elevated places.
Many immortals in Taoism came into being on the basis of earthy folk gods, and thus the Taoist god-worshiping system has much in common with the earthy folk god-worshiping. On the one hand, a number of earthy folk gods such as Caishen(mammon), Chenghuangshen(city god), Dongyuedadi(god of East Mountain) and Guanshengdi(god of Saint Guan) have become part of the pedigree of folk gods; on the other hand, Taoist immortals such as Laojun(Holy Lord), Yuhuangdadi(Jade Emperor) and Baxian(eight immortals) have become widespread and part of people’s life.
Moreover, some Taoist taboo tricks have an extensive influence on the folk society, especially in the countryside; or rather, they have constituted a necessary part of folk customs. The combination of Taoism and Chinese folk customs is in various aspects, but it is mainly embodied in celebrations of festivals and seasonal changes and spirit worshiping.

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Why do I have to go to school
Much of what you need to know to live successfully as an adult does not come naturally; it has to____56____ (learn) and studied and memorized. Children learn to speak naturally, for example, by listening to those around them, ____57____ reading and writing must be particularly taught. The complicated process of learning the alphabet and the sounds it represents, putting letter sounds together to make words, and learning the meaning of words in order to read and write are skills____58____only come with special effort. Knowing how to figure out problems that involve numbers and learning how the world is run or how nature works____59____ (be) important things to learn too.
____60____ your parents might be able to teach you these things, they would need many hours each day to do it. Most parents work outside the home and wouldn’t have the time to give proper ____61____ (instruct), though some kids are homeschooled by their parents instead of going to school. In the United States the public school system provides years of free education____62____children. (Children who go to private schools or____63____parents have received special permission to teach them at home are exceptions.) Teachers, who are____64____ (specific) trained to know what children should learn and how and when, are the people who do the job of educating.

57. but 58. that##which
59. are 60. Although##Though##While
61. instruction
62. for 63. whose
64. specifically
65. themselves
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了学生为什么要去学校上学。
【56题详解】
考查动词不定式的被动语态。句意：作为一个成功的成年人，你需要知道的很多东西都不是天生的；它需要学习、研究和记忆。分析句意可知，it和learn之间是被动关系，所以应该使用动词不定式的被动语态形式。故填be learned。
【57题详解】
考查连词。句意：孩子们自然地学会说话，例如，通过倾听他们周围的人，但阅读和写作必须特别教。此处上下两个分句之间是转折关系，所以用连词but来连接两个分句。故填but。
【58题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：学习字母表及其所代表的读音，把字母的读音组合成单词，学习单词的意思以便阅读和写作，这些复杂的过程都是需要特别努力才能掌握的技能。分析句式结构可知，此处是定语从句，先行词是物，且从句中缺少主语，所以用关系代词that或which来引导。故填that/which。
【59题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意：知道如何解决涉及数字的问题，了解世界是如何运行的，或者大自然是如何运作的，这些都是很重要的东西。根据is可知本句的时态为一般现在时，再分析句式结构，本句的主语是and连接的两个动名词短语，所以谓语动词的be动词用are。故填are。
【60题详解】
考查连词。句意：虽然你的父母可能会教你这些事情，但他们每天需要花很多时间来做。根据下文“they would need many hours each day to do it(他们每天需要花很多小时来做这件事)”可知，此处上下文之间是让步关系，所以用连词Although/Though/While来引导。故填Although/Though/While。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意：大多数父母在外工作，没有时间给予适当的指导，尽管有些孩子是由父母在家教育而不是去学校。分析句式结构可知，proper是形容词，应该修饰名词，所以用提示词的名词形式作宾语。故填instruction。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意：在美国，公立学校系统为孩子们提供多年的免费教育。根据空格前的provide可知，此处用固定搭配provide sth for sb表示“为某人提供某物”。故填for。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：上私立学校的孩子或父母获得特别许可在家教育他们的孩子是例外。分析句式结构可知，此处是定语从句，先行词Children指人，作定语，所以用关系代词whose来引导。故填whose。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意：教师是从事教育工作的人，他们受过专门的培训，知道孩子应该学什么、如何学、什么时候学。分析句式结构可知，句中trained是动词，修饰动词应该用副词，所以空格处用提示词的副词形式。故填specifically。
【65题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：为了确保孩子们学到他们需要知道的东西，州政府要求所有的孩子都要上学一定的年限(通常到16岁)，经常逃学的孩子可能会被送上法庭。分析句意可知，提示词they指代的是主语kids，动词find后缺少宾语，所以此处用反身代词作宾语。故填themselves。

When I arrived at 6 a.m. in the large hospital kitchen, Rose was already checking name tags on the trays(托盘). “Hi, I’m Janet.” I tried to sound cheerful, although I already knew Rose’s reputation for being impossible to work with. “I’m scheduled to work with you this week.”
Rose stopped what she was doing and peered over her reading glasses I could tell from her expression she wasn’t pleased to see a student worker. “What do you want me to do Start the coffee ” I asked.
Rose coldly nodded and went back to checking name tags.
I filled the 40-cup pot with water and began making the coffee when Rose yelled，“That’s not the way to make coffee.” She stepped in and took over.
Nothing I did pleased her. All morning, her eagle eyes missed nothing and her sharp words hurt.
Totally exhausted, I trudged the six blocks home late that June afternoon. As a third-year university student working my way through school, I had never before met anyone like Rose.
Fighting back tears, I wrestled with my dilemma alone in my room. “What shall I do ” The answer caught me completely by surprise. I needed to love Rose.
Working with Rose the next morning, I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things Rose’s way as much as possible. As I worked, I silently began to surround Rose with a warm blanket of love.
Over the next few days, an amazing thing began to happen. My focus shifted from what she was doing to me and I started seeing Rose as the hurting person she was. Then her icy tension began to melt away.
Throughout the rest of the summer，we had numerous opportunities to work together. Each time, she seemed truly happy to see me. Her bitterness gave way as she started opening up. As I worked with this lonely woman, I listened to her, something no one else had done. I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care and her own health problems. She even told me everything about her plan of finding a proper new job in secret.
The days slipped by quickly as I finished the last several weeks of my summer job. I soon would be returning as a full-time university student and say goodbye to Rose.
Paragraph 1：
One day, while I was working alone in one of the hospital kitchens, Rose entered the room without wearing her blue uniform.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
Although I never saw Rose again, I still remember her vividly.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
One day, while I was working alone in one of the hospital kitchens, Rose entered the room without wearing her blue uniform. Instead of that, she was wearing street clothes. I looked at her in surprise. “Aren’t you working today ” “I’ve got another job and won’t be working here any more,” she said as she walked over and gave me a quick hug. “I just come here to say goodbye. You are the one person I will truly miss. You are the one person I wish I could take with me, my dearest friend.” Then she turned abruptly and walked out of the door.
Paragraph 2:
Although I never saw Rose again, I still remember her vividly. That summer, I learned a lesson I’ve never forgotten. The world is full of people like Rose: annoying, demanding, unlovable on the outside, yet hurting inside. Just as the saying goes every rose has its thorn, and every man’s character has a part of you that you can’t stand. I’ve found that a warm blanket of love is the best way to nurture a rose, to develop a friendship.
【解析】

Celebrating the Harvest Around the World
A harvest festival is a celebration of the fall months and the harvest that often accompanies these months. Many countries celebrate harvest festivals in different forms.
Canada
In Canada, people celebrate their harvest on Thanksgiving. This tradition is said to date back to the 16th century. The English explorer Martin Frobisher(1535—1594) came upon the land, searching for the “New World”. As he arrived in Canada in 1578, he celebrated surviving the long journey by holding a formal celebration and eating salt beef and peas. Today, it has become a recognized holiday in the country that falls on the second Monday in October. On Thanksgiving, most return home to gather with their family. One of the highlights(高潮) of the holiday is a big Thanksgiving Day meal, which usually includes turkey and bread, which are prepared and presented in a unique Canadian way.
The United Kingdom
Harvest festival activities are considered a special time for communities to come together in celebration. The harvest festival may start with carrying baskets of fruits and vegetables to a local church where people sing praise songs for a healthy harvest while praying for future harvests. A special effort may be made to give food to the less fortunate. Large dinners may also be hosted where each member brings a special dish to share with each other.
China
In 2023, the Farmers’ Harvest Festival was launched in China. It’s held on the day of the autumn equinox(秋分), which falls roughly on Sept. 22 or 23. Every year, a range of events are organized nationwide. In Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, farmers brought 100 seed varieties to the main site of the ceremony in Hanhu District and placed them in a wall to mark the achievements of the seed industry. In Heilongjiang Province, the festival was combined with local traditions of the Daur people and the locals danced around bonfires.

As a teenager, Gray would collect mushrooms (蘑菇) with her family in Cape Town, South Africa, and after moving to the coast 14 years ago, she fully accepted wild foraging ( 搜 寻 食 物). Gray started experimenting with wild flavors, adding edible flowers and herbs to iced teas and cakes.
She became a personal wild food cook, foraging daily for ingredients down the coast in the summer. “I believe that food that is picked as fresh as possible and as close to your location as possible is the best for you,” Gray says, “and wild foods meet all those requirements.”
Wild foods are considered to be anything not planted by humans. They’re sourced depending on the season. There is no shortage of options in the Cape Floral Region — recognized by UNESCO as one of the most special places on Earth for plant biodiversity. More than 9,000 plant species grow in this region.
“Foraging here supplied the main food for the Khoikhoi people, one of the oldest people on Earth,” according to Mark Heistein, CEO of Cape Winelands Biosphere Reserve. Hundreds of these ingredients are also believed to have medicinal qualities, says Heistein, “like rooibos tea, considered a health tea, which is exported worldwide.”
Since 2017 Gray has been sharing her love of the edible landscape with locals and tourists through seasonal workshops around 10 kilometers south of Cape Town. She has taught thousands of people how to forage.
When COVID-19 hit South Africa and the country entered lockdown, Gray was unable to run her group workshops in person, but she continued to find a growing fanbase online. She has run 10 online workshops for groups during lockdown.
“It’s very ironic (讽刺的) to be able to create this connection for people to nature through a screen,” Gray says. “The true foragers are not on any social media platforms — they’re the ones who are doing the work in the mountains and out in the wild.”
24. What does the underlined word “edible” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Poisonous. B. Delicious. C. Eatable. D. Sweet.
25. Why is the Cape Floral Region mentioned in paragraph 3
A. To call on people to protect the environment.
B. To show the resources the local people enjoy.
C. To praise the contribution of the local people to nature.
D. To stress the importance of preserving plant biodiversity.
26. What is Mark Heistein’s attitude toward foraging
A. Worried. B. Carefree. C. Surprised. D. Favorable.
27. What can be learnt about the workshops run by Gray
A. They are held in Cape Town.
B. They are growing in popularity.
C. They were closed during lockdown.
D. They were bringing the locals together.

During the 1800s, African Americans worked long days in the fields of the American South. To make the time go faster, they sang “field hollers (叫喊)” that they used to sing in Africa. After the Civil War, African American music began to take new forms. It also adapted dance music, called “jump-ups”, which had great rhythm (节奏). By the early 1900s, the guitar had become the main instrument of the blues.
Northern Mississippi, also known as the Delta, was the center of the blues tradition. By the 1920s, the Delta had many blues clubs called “juke joints”. African Americans listened and danced to music in these clubs. Some of the greatest blues singers and players performed in them.
Blues have a soulful (深情的) sound that listeners can easily recognize. The musical notes are often “bent”. This means that players change the notes slightly to give a song more strength. Whatever their origin, these bent notes most often define the blues．
Lyrics are the words of a song. Blues lyrics describe everyday life. The lyrics are often very intense and personal. They tell about sad times and hard work. They describe people who find or lose love, people who have money or wish for more, and people who feel happy or sad and lonely. The lyrics may use humor to describe life’s trials and joys. They almost always use the rhythms of everyday speech.
By the 1940s, large numbers of African Americans had left the Delta and moved north to find work. Many settled in Chicago. A new kind of blues, called “electric” or “Chicago” blues, began there. It used many of the same themes as the original blues. However, the new style of blues was played with electric guitars that “wailed” and with mouth instruments called harmonicas. The music often included a steady, strong drumbeat. The loud, intense Chicago blues was excellent dance music. Chicago blues led to the creation of a new music style: rock and roll.
28. What can you conclude about the blues music from the article
A. It has been successful only in the American South.
B. It became a way to communicate and express feelings.
C. It would not have started without the juke joints of Mississippi.
D. It has spread in America due to several African musicians.
29. Why probably did African Americans move to Chicago
A. They liked Chicago blues. B. More jobs were available there.
C. The South was too hot in the summer. D. People in Chicago appreciated their music.
pared with the Delta blues style, the Chicago blues style .
A. used more bent notes. B. used humor in the lyrics more often.
C. was louder and used some different instruments. D. was much more popular.
31. Which of the following would the author probably agree
A. Blues music can communicate many human emotions.
B. Blues music focuses mainly on the sadness of everyday life.
C. Delta blues music is the only real blues music.
D The musicians of blues music were mostly in poor conditions.
D
As a Chinese native religion, Taoism has a close relationship with Chinese folk customs. With the development of Taoism, it has become deep-rooted in, and the practices of, the ordinary people. This can be seen both in Taoist religious festivals and sacrifice-offerings.
There are many Taoist festivals, and quite a few of them have evolved into folk festivals. For example, the Double Ninth Festival on September 9 of lunar calendar came from the Taoist festival. It is said that in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), there was a Taoist immortal named Fei Changfang, who was resourceful enough to drive all devils away. At that time, he had a pupil called Huan Jing. One day, Fei Changfang foresaw a disaster on September 9 in Huan Jing’s family, and told Huan Jing to fasten a bundle of dogwood onto his arm, and drink chrysanthemum wine in an elevated place so as to prevent the disaster. Having done what he had been told, Huan Jing’s family was indeed safe and sound. Along with the spreading of Taoism, this legend has evolved into the Double Ninth Festival. When the day comes, people will carry dogwood and drink chrysanthemum wine in elevated places.
Many immortals in Taoism came into being on the basis of earthy folk gods, and thus the Taoist god-worshiping system has much in common with the earthy folk god-worshiping. On the one hand, a number of earthy folk gods such as Caishen(mammon), Chenghuangshen(city god), Dongyuedadi(god of East Mountain) and Guanshengdi(god of Saint Guan) have become part of the pedigree of folk gods; on the other hand, Taoist immortals such as Laojun(Holy Lord), Yuhuangdadi(Jade Emperor) and Baxian(eight immortals) have become widespread and part of people’s life.
Moreover, some Taoist taboo tricks have an extensive influence on the folk society, especially in the countryside; or rather, they have constituted a necessary part of folk customs. The combination of Taoism and Chinese folk customs is in various aspects, but it is mainly embodied in celebrations of festivals and seasonal changes and spirit worshiping.

When I arrived at 6 a.m. in the large hospital kitchen, Rose was already checking name tags on the trays(托盘). “Hi, I’m Janet.” I tried to sound cheerful, although I already knew Rose’s reputation for being impossible to work with. “I’m scheduled to work with you this week.”
Rose stopped what she was doing and peered over her reading glasses. I could tell from her expression she wasn’t pleased to see a student worker. “What do you want me to do Start the coffee ” I asked.
Rose coldly nodded and went back to checking name tags.
I filled the 40-cup pot with water and began making the coffee when Rose yelled，“That’s not the way to make coffee.” She stepped in and took over.
Nothing I did pleased her. All morning, her eagle eyes missed nothing and her sharp words hurt.
Totally exhausted, I trudged the six blocks home late that June afternoon. As a third-year university student working my way through school, I had never before met anyone like Rose.
Fighting back tears, I wrestled with my dilemma alone in my room. “What shall I do ” The answer caught me completely by surprise. I needed to love Rose.
Working with Rose the next morning, I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things Rose’s way as much as possible. As I worked, I silently began to surround Rose with a warm blanket of love.
Over the next few days, an amazing thing began to happen. My focus shifted from what she was doing to me and I started seeing Rose as the hurting person she was. Then her icy tension began to melt away.
Throughout the rest of the summer，we had numerous opportunities to work together. Each time, she seemed truly happy to see me. Her bitterness gave way as she started opening up. As I worked with this lonely woman, I listened to her, something no one else had done. I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care and her own health problems. She even told me everything about her plan of finding a proper new job in secret.
The days slipped by quickly as I finished the last several weeks of my summer job. I soon would be returning as a full-time university student and say goodbye to Rose.
Paragraph 1：
One day, while I was working alone in one of the hospital kitchens, Rose entered the room without wearing her blue uniform.

Paragraph 2：
Although I never saw Rose again, I still remember her vividly.
