Fantastic Fire Festivals Around the World
Quema del Diablo
In Central America, Quema del Diablo, or “burning of the devil (魔鬼)” takes place in Guatemala on December 7, when the devil is driven from Guatemalans’ homes and chased into the streets. By holding firework displays, bonfires (篝火), and burning devil statues, locals believe they are ridding themselves of bad spirits.
Guy Fawkes Night
The most famous fire ceremony of all happens in England. Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Bonfire Night, is held on November 5 and goes back all the way to 1605. The most famous and biggest celebration is in Lewes in Sussex, also known as the bonfire capital of the world. Whole streets are shut down and tens of thousands of people take to the streets to watch parades (游行) .
Fire and Snow Festival
In mid-February every year, the Fire and Snow Festival lights the district of Kakunodate in Japan. Originally, this festival had its roots in a purification ceremony, when farming communities would try to rid the bad spirits. The festival is now more of a community event. A sweet cake is served up there. At the peak of the festival, participants light a basketball-sized rice straw ball that’s attached to a rope and keep it spinning above their heads.
Jeongwol Daeboreum Deulbli Festival
Another fire celebration taking place in February is the Jeongwol Daeboreum Deulbli Festival in South Korea, which takes place on the island of Jeju. Although the festival is fairly new, having only been around for two decades, it goes back centuries to when local families would keep cows. To maintain the grass, farmers would set fire to the mountains to destroy old grass and kill harmful insects. Now, a hilltop is set a light to pray for health and a good harvest in the coming year — as well as a torchlight march, rock lifting, and a straw rope making competition.
21．Where is the bonfire capital of the world
A．In Japan. B．In England.
C．In South Korea. D．In Central America.
22．What is the original purpose of the Fire and Snow Festival
A．To drive away bad spirits. B．To celebrate a good harvest.
C．To get precious fire for farming. D．To promote different ballgames.
23．What do the last two festivals have in common
A．Sweet cakes a reserved up there. B．There are insects producing light.
C．They are held in the same month. D．They feature various competitions.

The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, completed in 1436, is the most important landmark in Florence, Italy, and the fourth largest church in the world.
The most famous part of the church is the dome (穹顶). It was created by the genius of the Renaissance (文艺复兴), Filippo Brunelleschi, who showed a great mastery of technical knowledge. Interestingly, Brunelleschi had been a trained goldsmith (金匠) and had never built anything in his life before building the masterpiece. This may sound crazy, but in many ways we look at the relation between Brunelleschi and the church, it seemed that he was “the chosen one” to complete the construction.
When he was born in 1377, the church had been under construction for 80 years with no solution to the dome-shaped roof. The building of the church had grown so larger and grander than the original plans that no one had any idea how it would or could be done. In 1418 a public competition was announced for the construction of the dome. Of course, there was the possibility of building the dome with a wooden structure to support it, but that would end up being costly requiring over 400 trees, lots of manpower and time. When Brunelleschi entered the competition, he was the only one with an idea that did not use wood, which caught the attention of the judges. Brunelleschi did many mathematical calculations and invented a lot of new tools and machines for the project, which was started two years after he won the competition. He finished the dome in only sixteen years, which was shockingly fast back in his time.
Always known as a secretive person, Brunelleschi didn’t leave a single building plan, drawing, or even a letter behind on how he managed to come up with such an amazing design. For years, the structure was a huge mystery about how the dome was built.
24．Why did the church remain unfinished for a long time
A．It was waiting for the chosen one for the task. B．It went too far away from the original plan.
C．The wood, labor and time were not enough. D．The tools and machines had not been invented.
25．Why did Brunelleschi get the judges’ attention
A．He was a trained goldsmith. B．He had a gift for invention.
C．He raised a different design. D．He was good at calculation.
26．In which year was the dome completed
A．1418. B．1420. C．1434. D．1436.
27．What does the underlined “secretive” mean in the last paragraph
A．Not outgoing in personality. B．Creative in imagination.
C．Not afraid when making decisions. D．Energetic when working.
C
Three astronauts stationed in China’s Tiangong space station are preparing for their return trip in the middle of April, packing up personal items, experimental products and other materials, putting equipment into place and exercising to prepare their bodies for Earth’s gravity.
The astronauts, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu, have to tidy up a large number of materials, including goods on the Tianzhou 3 cargo spacecraft, said Zhong Weiwei, an associate researcher at the China Astronaut Research and Training Center.
Living in space about six months, a record in China’s history, they have completed more than 20 scientific tasks and will bring back samples with them, according to Zhong.
He said the astronauts have to put all equipment in place since there will be a gap of more than one month before the astronauts of ShenzhouⅩⅣ enter the space station.
The physical conditions and psychological states of the three astronauts are better than expected, meeting the requirements for a return trip, said the associate researcher from the center’s aerospace medical engineering office.
Based on their in-orbit physical examinations and data, experts have adjusted exercise plans for them to keep fitness in order to ensure a safe landing, Zhong said.
The Shenzhou ⅩⅢ mission was launched on Oct 16 by a Long March 2F carrier rocket that blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China’s Gobi Desert, with the crew soon entering the Tiangong station.
Besides their tasks, they have also delivered two live lectures from the space station, showing the students their living and working areas at the Tianhe core module and several scientific experiments under zero-gravity conditions and answering real-time questions from students.
28．What record did the three astronauts make in China’s history
A．They have finished over twenty scientific missions
B．They have lived in space about six months.
C．They will bring back some samples from space.
D．They have made great contributions to China’s space exploration.

A．The astronauts gave two lessons in space to the students on the earth.
B．The astronauts adjusted their exercise plans due to bad body condition.
C．The astronauts only need to keep physically healthy before returning.
D．The astronauts have already put all equipment in the right place.
30．Which of the following has the similar meaning to the underlined part in paragraph 7
A．go off B．boosted off C．took off D．put off
31．What’s the best title of the passage
A．Successful returning from space. B．Big record made by China’s astronauts.
C．Great contributions of China’s astronauts. D．Preparations for returning the Earth.

World Book Day was created on April 23rd, 1995, by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO) .The connection between that date and books, however, was made 52 Spain in 1923, as it is the anniversary(周年纪念日) of the 53 (die) of William Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, famous Spanish Chronicler.
There were a few 54 (idea) for the day of the year that World Book Day should be held. 55 (original), Vicente Clavel Andres, a Valencian writer, suggested that the day should be on a day 56 honored the author Miguel de Cervantes. This would be either his birthday, October 7, or the date when he passed away, April 23.The 57 (choose) date is the latter one because it was also the date when William Shakespeare died and when Inca Garcilaso de la Vega died too .In fact, several other well-known authors have also died on April 23—perhaps authors should be wary(留神的) of this date!
In some countries, World Book Day actually 58 (take) place on other days of the year, despite the fact that the intentional event was created by UNESCO. For example, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Ireland all celebrate 59 (they) own World Book Day events on 60 different day. However, the international day 61 (hold) on the same day each year since it began in 1995.2023-2024学年第二学期高二年级开学收心练习试题
