Here are four festivals around the world that can offer you special and unique experiences.
Carnival of Oruro, Bolivia
As one of the largest events in South America which has been held since the 18th century, it was recognized by UNESCO as a masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Every year, dozens of groups wear colorful costumes or masks and perform folk dances that draw crowds up to 400,000 annually, celebrating pre-Columbian traditions.
Underwater Music Festival, the USA
It starts from 1985 and its founder took music festivals to a whole new level with the aim to protect the corals (珊瑚). The event houses radio playlists and ocean-themed songs streaming live from underwater speakers along with musician-divers and local people playing instruments with strange shapes.
Day of the Little Candles, Colombia
This festival can date back to 1854 and Colombia's windows, balconies, and sidewalks would come alive on the night of every December 7. And houses and streets are decorated with candles in varying colors and paper lanterns by families. Many people also consider it the unofficial start of the Christmas season when cities and towns debut (初次登场) their Christmas lights and decorations.
World Toe Wrestling Championship, England
This competition is not a new competition, with its history going back to 1976. The sport involves two opponents who lock feet in an attempt to pin each other's foot down in the least time possible, similar to arm wrestling.

Phillip, 27, from the UK, pulled at the heart strings of people across the world after giving his mother, Trish, a special New Year present—he surprised his mom with a voice recording of his late father, which he made with the help of AI.
The young man's dad, John, passed away from cancer in 2022—leaving his wife and children mourning. After seeing his mom struggling to get through the holidays, he turned to AI to give her a gift she would never forget.
In a video, which has so far had more than 6.2 million views, the 27-year-old showed viewers his mom's reaction to hearing her late husband's voice.
"My dad passed away from cancer 1.5 years ago so I decided to do something special for my mom this New Year," he said as his mother unwrapped the present. "It's been so long since we heard his voice, so I made her a video using AI software to match his exact voice. And the result was amazing."
In addition to his father's voice, Phillip made a video that featured photos of his dad. When Trish opened the photo book, tears immediately formed.
"Hi, honey. I love you. I want you to know you are the best mother to our kids and the strongest woman in the whole world," the AI voice said. "I'm always with you. I hope you guys have a happy New Year."
Phillip revealed that his wife, Kassandra, first gave him the idea to use AI to recreate his dad's voice. Although he was skeptical at first, once he got to work using the text-to-speech software, he was shocked at the outcome. "When the program said it in his voice…I got chills (寒战) all over my body. That's why I decided to do this no matter what," Phillip said.
24．What does the underlined phrase "pulled at the heart strings" in paragraph 1 mean
A．Encouraged creativity. B．Touched the hearts. C．Promoted good deeds. D．Provided comfort.
25．Which of the following best describes the young man
A．Adaptable. B．Demanding. C．Heart-warming. D．Hard-working.
26．How did Trish react to the special gift
A．She was terribly frightened. B．She took it for granted
C．She viewed it as a dream. D．She was wild with joy.
27．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．Phillip's interest in making the recording. B．Phillip's doubt over making the recording.
C．Phillip's struggle for making the recording. D．Phillip's inspiration to make the recording.
C
A team of leading environmental experts have warned that the current war on plastic is detracting from (贬低) the bigger threats to the environment. In an article, they say that while plastic waste is an issue, its prominence (显著) in the general public's concern for the environment is overshadowing greater threats, for example, climate change and biodiversity loss.
The team argue that much of the talk about plastic waste is based on data that is not always representative of the environments that have been sampled. The dislike of plastic associated with this could encourage the use of alternative materials with potentially harmful effects.
The authors warn that plastic pollution dominates the public's concern for the environment and has been exploited politically, after capturing the attention of the world, for example, through the images of wildlife caught in plastic waste and alarmist headlines. They say small political gestures such as law banning cosmetic microplastics, taxing plastic bags, and financial rewards for using reusable containers, as well as the promotion of products as "green" for containing less plastic than alternatives, make people neglect other environmental problems that are not as noticeable as plastic pollution.
The article also highlights that plastic is not the only type of polluting materials, originating from human activity that pollutes the environment. Other examples include natural textile fibres such as cotton and wool, and brake wear particles from vehicles—all of which are present in different places. The authors note that these materials are often much more abundant than microplastics and some are associated with "plastic alternatives" that are marketed as solutions to plastic pollution. The impacts of these materials are less well-known than plastic and microplastic pollution, yet they could have huge impacts.
The article states that solutions are likely to come from a greater focus on designing materials and products that can be recycled, that have their end-of-life, and that markets and facilities exist to recycle.
28．What's the experts' attitude towards the current war on plastic
A．Indifferent. B．Favorable. C．Critical. D．Objective.
29．What does the underlined word "this" in paragraph 2 refer to
A．The negative view of plastic. B．The use of alternative materials.
C．The potential harmful effects. D．The defense for plastic.
30．What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph
A．Explain a rule. B．Make a comparison. C．Clarify a point. D．Offer a suggestion.
31．What is the text most likely to be
A．A response to plastic pollution. B．A schedule to fight against pollution.
C．An argument against climate change. D．A guide to plastic management.
D
The illusion (错觉) of choice is a cognitive bias (认知偏差) that causes people to believe they have more control over their lives than they actually do. In fact, it is a false sense of control that can lead to suboptimal (次优的) decision-making.
The concept is relatively new. It was first referred to by American philosopher and psychologist William James. James argues that choices can be forced or avoidable, and that every dilemma based on a complete logical disjunction (逻辑析取), with no possibility of not choosing, is an option of this forced kind. In a paper published in 2000, psychologists Sheena Iyengar and Mark Lepper found that people are more likely to purchase products when they are given fewer choices.
The illusion of choice is often used in advertising and marketing to make people feel like they are in control of their purchase decisions.The same techniques may be applied in voting to make voters feel more confident in their choice of who to vote for.
In reality, the illusion of choice is a false sense of control that can lead to making decisions based on incomplete information. A famous example of this is the documentary The Great Hack. The film explores how the data company Cambridge Analytica used the illusion of choice to control people's opinions. In the film, it is revealed that Cambridge Analytica used data from the Internet to create targeted ads for users based on their profiles. The ads were designed to appeal to people's fears and biases in order to affect their opinions on candidates.
The illusion of choice can be a powerful tool to control people. It is essential to be aware of your own biases and tendencies when making decisions. Take time to consider all of your options before making a decision. Be aware of the potential risks and costs associated with your choices. Seek out multiple opinions before making a final decision.
32．What can be learnt about the illusion of choice
A．It improves decision-making. B．It helps people to control life.
C．It affects consumers' behavior. D．It was introduced long ago.
33．How does the author demonstrate his viewpoint
A．By citing experts' words. B．By giving examples.
C．By referring to a scientific paper. D．By conducting a study.
34．What is a key factor in avoiding the illusion of choice when making decisions
A．Sharing multiple opinions. B．Making quick decisions.
C．Being aware of biases. D．Ignoring potential risks and costs.
35．What would be a suitable title for the text
A．The Origins of the Illusion of Choice B．Psychological Process of Decision-Making
C．How the Illusion of Choice Is Employed D．The Illusion of Choice: A False Sense of Control

Minimalism isn't about being boring or getting rid of most of your things and living in empty rooms. It's more about identifying what adds value to your life and brings you joy and parting with things that don't. 36 .
Whether you want to start the process of living a more minimalist lifestyle or have already started but are finding yourself stuck, here are some tips to help you.
Be Clear On Why You Want To Live A Minimalist Lifestyle
Getting rid of useless things in your home, workspace and life, in general, can be challenging. 37 . Yet, chances are, if you've barely used these items, you won't need them in the future.
Being clear as to why you're doing it can be critical as it'll help remind you of your goal, fuel your motivation and keep you going even when you're feeling overwhelmed. 38 . No matter the reason, knowing why you're doing it is the best way to ensure you successfully move towards a more minimalist lifestyle.
Clear Out Responsibly
Opening a garbage bag and clearing out everything you don't want to keep is quick and easy. Yet, someone else could use your items or recycle them. One of the best things you can do is donate your clothes to someone you know or a charity. 39 . Lastly, as mentioned before, certain items can be recycled. You should only throw away things you can't sell, donate or recycle.
Get In The Right Mindset
40 . It's about finding joy and gratitude. It's about being satisfied when you need to throw out something old and promoting self-care and loving yourself. The minimalist seeks simplicity, usefulness and clarity with less focus on material possessions and more focus on value in life. Clear the useless things so you can focus on your priorities and goals.
A．You can also organize a big garage sale
B．The best way to tidy up is to take it one step at a time
C．Mindset is key to a "less is more" attitude and lifestyle

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One of my favourite things about spring is the arrival of different species of birds. My grandfather was a bird lover, and I picked up the bird watching hobby at a young age, thanks to his influence. My husband John and I found it a relaxing way to enjoy nature; we like birdwatching when we go camping or hiking. Plus, I have a great love of nature photography, so when we sit out in the backyard of our home, I always have my digital camera with me. John is an artist, and he often paints the birds I photograph.
Usually when the yellow warblers (莺) come Lack from the south in springtime, they pass us by; we don't typically see them hanging around our home. But not on this particular sunny day in spring. As soon as I finished my workday, I put on a light jacket and went out to the backyard to relax in my favourite way: by watching the birds.
While taking some pictures of cardinals (红衣凤头鸟) and chickadees (北美山雀) at one of our feeders, I looked up and noticed this yellow warbler in our maple tree. The tree had recently begun to bud, and the bird's yellow feathers looked striking against the yellow blooms, so I took this photo. Our backyard has a variety of trees and between my husband and me, we've documented almost 40 different species of birds. I've photographed most of them, but some can be a bit camera shy so I also keep a written list of what we see. Our more common visitors are cardinals, chickadees, hummingbirds and various sparrows.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One day, I was watching the yellow warbler jumping among trees when a snake crawled towards it. At this time, I saw many small stones in the backyard.

The course of the fun run will be through the beautiful environment of Abington Park and the total distance will be three kilometers, starting and finishing at the football ground. That's on the south side of the park, very close to the main entrance. Abington Fun Run is a race in which there are no winners or losers. Everyone who takes part will be given something to remember the day. Last year it was a T-shirt. This year it will be a water bottle. The cost for adults is $8 if you register in advance or $10 on the day. Any child under the age of 15 can take part for free but there's a lowest age limit of 8. If you would like to join in it, entry forms and an information pack with lots of useful tips for improving your fitness and preparing for the run are available from any newsagent's. See you there.

Dear Chris,
I hope you're doing well. I'd like to invite you to our school's Care for the Elderly Photography Exhibition at our school hall next week.
The exhibition aims to raise awareness about elderly care and features wonderful photographs showcasing their beauty and resilience. Through the activity, it is believed that we can convey the message of love and respect for the elderly. As a skilled photographer and a caring individual, your presence would be invaluable.
I look forward to your positive response and hope you can join us in supporting this meaningful activity.
Yours,

第二节
参考范文：
One day, I was watching the yellow warbler jumping among trees when a snake crawled towards it. I was so nervous at that time because I was afraid that the snake would eat it. Is tarted waving and shouting at it, but it felt that I was greeting it and began to sing happily and freely. Watching the snake getting closer, I was so hopeless that I couldn't imagine what would happen next.
At this time, I saw many small stones in the backyard. I immediately walked towards the stones. Then, I started to attack the snake hurriedly. I picked up the stone and threw it at the snake in the tree. I was too nervous and never hit the snake. At this moment, I had an idea and immediately threw several stones at the branch where the yellow warbler was. The yellow warbler instantly flew away in panic. I continued to drive the snake away with the stones. After a while, the yellow warbler flew back, singing in the branches, as if to express its gratitude.
