Stargazing Festivals in 2023
As more areas grow brighter with light pollution, national parks across the country have become dark-sky havens. Over the years, they are making a push to get certified as havens for sky-watching by the International
Dark Sky Association, and they even host events like stargazing festivals to get travelers excited about astronomy.
·Bryce Canyon National Park—June 14-17
Situated in southern Utah, Bryce Canyon earned its dark-sky title in 2019. The 35,835-acre park is an ideal place to stay up late. This year, its annual astronomy festival includes guided stargazing sessions, lectures and “star stories” presentations, family-friendly activities, and even a performance by strings musicians in the northern
Arizona-based Dark Sky Quartet.
·Shenandoah National Park—August 11-13
Conveniently located within a day’s drive from two-thirds of Americans, Shenandoah National Park’s night sky festival is a low-lift way to dabble in astronomy. The nearly 200,000-acre park will host ranger talks, public stargazing sessions, lectures, presentations, and activities for kids. Staffers are still working on this year’s full
schedule, but past events have covered topics ranging from space weather to nocturnal(夜间的) creatures.
·Great Basin National Park—September 14-16
Great Basin is one of the least crowded national parks, making it the perfect place to quietly appreciate the mysteries of the cosmos. Its annual astronomy festival is scheduled for this fall and includes guest speakers, constellation talks, observatory tours, and a photography workshop. During the festival’s unique “Art in the Dark”
program, participants will get to paint in low-light conditions and experiment with how their eyes perceive color.
·Joshua Tree National Park—October 13-14
Joshua Tree National Park, as the International Dark Sky Association notes, is the “nearest convenient place to go stargazing under a relatively dark sky” for the18 million people who live in the Los Angeles area. It became an official dark sky park in 2017, and each year, it hosts a night sky festival in the fall. As luck would have it, this year’s dates overlap with an annular “ring of fire” solar eclipse. From Joshua Tree, the moon will appear to
obscure between 70 and 80 percent of the sun.
51 ．What is the purpose of Stargazing Festivals
A ．To raise public interest in astronomy.
B ．To call for action against light pollution.
C ．To provide a platform to observe stars.
D ．To collect money for more observatories.
52 ．Where should you go if you want to experience working in low-light conditions
A ．Bryce Canyon National Park. B ．Shenandoah National Park.
C ．Great Basin National Park. D ．Joshua Tree National Park.
53 ．What might be a bonus to visitors to Joshua Tree National Park during the festivals
A ．An observatory tour. B ．A photography workshop.
C ．A stargazing tour. D ．A solar eclipse.

Spooky (幽灵般的) season is finally upon us! But it looks a little different to how it did 100 years ago...
Halloween has been around for centuries, as a pagan ( 异教徒 的) holiday in ancient Ireland during which people celebrated and “communicated” with visiting spirits. Initially Halloween was all about mischief, which may sound harmless, but used to have far more negative connotations. Before the 1930s, “trick-or-treating” was associated with groups of young men going door to door to play tricks such as throwing cabbages at houses or
stealing garden gates.
Nowadays, trick-or-treaters tend to be children on the hunt for sweets. Going door to door for treats in Ireland was accompanied by the phrase, “Help the Halloween party”. It was only in the 1980s that it became standard to hear choruses of “trick or treat”, thanks to the classic 1982 film ET. As with many American cultural imports, not everyone was pleased about this development--in fact in 2009, The Telegraph ran the headline,
“Halloween: Trick, Treat And A Total Travesty ” .
In the 20th century, typical treats included candy apples, jelly beans and candy corn. These days, you are more likely to be met with Haribo Starmix and fun-sized Mars Bars (although if you are old enough to be reading Reader’s Digest, you can probably expect to be turned away at the door should you attempt to go trick-or-treating
this year).
The most popular Halloween costumes have also changed in the last hundred years, shifting from cowboys and witches to Marvel superheroes. This year, after a Halloween night spent braving horror films and turning
away children desperate for free sweets, you can at least sleep easy at night knowing that things have changed
since the 1920s--and you’ll probably wake up with your garden gate where you left it!
54 ．What can be learned from Paragraph 2
A ．In ancient Ireland it was a national tradition to celebrate Halloween.
B ．At Halloween ancient people could possess the power of visiting spirits.
C ．Generally a century ago the mischief at Halloween did no harm to others.
D ．At Halloween the mischief once left some people disturbed and annoyed.
55 ．Why did the author mention the headline in The Telegraph
A ．To show the rapid development of the festival. B ．To indicate the growing popularity of the phrase.
C ．To prove existing dissatisfaction with Halloween. D ．To discuss the proper behaviour at Halloween.
56 ．What tone does the author conclude the passage with
A ．Humorous. B ．Critical. C ．Aggressive. D ．Serious.
57 ．What might be the title of the passage
A ．The Development of Halloween in America B ．Halloween: An Unsuccessful Cultural Import
C ．Fun But Harmless Mischief at Halloween D ．Changes to Halloween in the Past Century
五、用单词的适当形式完成短文

Jack’s grandmother’s birthday was around the corner and all the family members were busy preparing a big party for her. It would be a special birthday party, because Grandma Sophie would turn 100 years old on the birthday. The family was filled with atmosphere of mystery and kind of excitement. Everyone was busy doing something secretly. Jack’s sister was knitting (编织) a woolen scarf for Grandma Sophie. She even brought the threads and weaving sticks to school and knitted between the class intervals. Jack’s brother would play the guitar of Grandma Sophie’s favorite song at the birthday party, so he practiced playing whenever he was free. And
Jack’s parents were decorating the house and doing shopping.
However, little Jack, the 8-year-old boy, sitting with his favorite toy dinosaur, looked unhappy. He wanted to engage in the big event and to make his grandma happy, but he had no idea. He couldn’t knit as his sister did, nor could he play any musical instrument as his brother did. A birthday card with beautiful pictures would be a good choice. But he had no money to buy a card. What he possessed were lots of cards, which were from families and
relatives for his birthday or Christmas and New Year. So little Jack turned to his mother for help.
Jack’s cards came from his friends and relatives all over the country. There were funny cards and serious cards. Some cards had beautiful pictures. Others had silly drawings. Jack saved them all. But his favorite card was
from his grandma.
“Why don’t you recycle some of your old birthday and Christmas cards ” Jack’s mother suggested. “What does that mean ” asked Jack. “Recycle means’ to use again’ ，” said Jack’s mother. “You can create something
new from things that have already been used.” “Recycling is a good idea,” said Jack. “I know. I’ll cut out pictures
and poems from my old cards. Then I’ll make a big, new card to send to Grandma.”
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。
Jack couldn’t wait to open the box containing cards he saved.

Stargazing Festivals in 2023
As more areas grow brighter with light pollution, national parks across the country have become dark-sky havens. Over the years, they are making a push to get certified as havens for sky-watching by the International
Dark Sky Association, and they even host events like stargazing festivals to get travelers excited about astronomy.
·Bryce Canyon National Park—June 14-17
Situated in southern Utah, Bryce Canyon earned its dark-sky title in 2019. The 35,835-acre park is an ideal place to stay up late. This year, its annual astronomy festival includes guided stargazing sessions, lectures and “star stories” presentations, family-friendly activities, and even a performance by strings musicians in the northern
Arizona-based Dark Sky Quartet.
·Shenandoah National Park—August 11-13
Conveniently located within a day’s drive from two-thirds of Americans, Shenandoah National Park’s night sky festival is a low-lift way to dabble in astronomy. The nearly 200,000-acre park will host ranger talks, public stargazing sessions, lectures, presentations, and activities for kids. Staffers are still working on this year’s full
schedule, but past events have covered topics ranging from space weather to nocturnal(夜间的) creatures.
·Great Basin National Park—September 14-16
Great Basin is one of the least crowded national parks, making it the perfect place to quietly appreciate the
mysteries of the cosmos. Its annual astronomy festival is scheduled for this fall and includes guest speakers,
constellation talks, observatory tours, and a photography workshop. During the festival’s unique “Art in the Dark”
program, participants will get to paint in low-light conditions and experiment with how their eyes perceive color.
·Joshua Tree National Park—October 13-14
Joshua Tree National Park, as the International Dark Sky Association notes, is the “nearest convenient place to go stargazing under a relatively dark sky” for the18 million people who live in the Los Angeles area. It became an official dark sky park in 2017, and each year, it hosts a night sky festival in the fall. As luck would have it, this year’s dates overlap with an annular “ring of fire” solar eclipse. From Joshua Tree, the moon will appear to
obscure between 70 and 80 percent of the sun.
51 ．What is the purpose of Stargazing Festivals
A ．To raise public interest in astronomy.
B ．To call for action against light pollution.
C ．To provide a platform to observe stars.
D ．To collect money for more observatories.
52 ．Where should you go if you want to experience working in low-light conditions
A ．Bryce Canyon National Park. B ．Shenandoah National Park.
C ．Great Basin National Park. D ．Joshua Tree National Park.
53 ．What might be a bonus to visitors to Joshua Tree National Park during the festivals
A ．An observatory tour. B ．A photography workshop.
C ．A stargazing tour. D ．A solar eclipse.

Spooky (幽灵般的) season is finally upon us! But it looks a little different to how it did 100 years ago...
Halloween has been around for centuries, as a pagan ( 异教徒 的) holiday in ancient Ireland during which people celebrated and “communicated” with visiting spirits. Initially Halloween was all about mischief, which may sound harmless, but used to have far more negative connotations. Before the 1930s, “trick-or-treating” was associated with groups of young men going door to door to play tricks such as throwing cabbages at houses or
stealing garden gates.
Nowadays, trick-or-treaters tend to be children on the hunt for sweets. Going door to door for treats in Ireland was accompanied by the phrase, “Help the Halloween party”. It was only in the 1980s that it became standard to hear choruses of “trick or treat”, thanks to the classic 1982 film ET. As with many American cultural imports, not everyone was pleased about this development--in fact in 2009, The Telegraph ran the headline,
“Halloween: Trick, Treat And A Total Travesty ” .
In the 20th century, typical treats included candy apples, jelly beans and candy corn. These days, you are more likely to be met with Haribo Starmix and fun-sized Mars Bars (although if you are old enough to be reading Reader’s Digest, you can probably expect to be turned away at the door should you attempt to go trick-or-treating
this year).
The most popular Halloween costumes have also changed in the last hundred years, shifting from cowboys and witches to Marvel superheroes. This year, after a Halloween night spent braving horror films and turning away children desperate for free sweets, you can at least sleep easy at night knowing that things have changed
since the 1920s--and you’ll probably wake up with your garden gate where you left it!
54 ．What can be learned from Paragraph 2
A ．In ancient Ireland it was a national tradition to celebrate Halloween.
B ．At Halloween ancient people could possess the power of visiting spirits.
C ．Generally a century ago the mischief at Halloween did no harm to others.
D ．At Halloween the mischief once left some people disturbed and annoyed.
55 ．Why did the author mention the headline in The Telegraph
A ．To show the rapid development of the festival. B ．To indicate the growing popularity of the phrase.
C ．To prove existing dissatisfaction with Halloween. D ．To discuss the proper behaviour at Halloween.
56 ．What tone does the author conclude the passage with
A ．Humorous. B ．Critical. C ．Aggressive. D ．Serious.
57 ．What might be the title of the passage
A ．The Development of Halloween in America B ．Halloween: An Unsuccessful Cultural Import
C ．Fun But Harmless Mischief at Halloween D ．Changes to Halloween in the Past Century
51 ．A 52 ．C 53 ．D

吻结束本文的。故选 A。
57．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Spooky (幽灵般的) season is finally upon us! But it looks a little different to how it did 100 years ago...(幽灵般的的季节终于来了!但它看起来和 100 年前有点不同……)”及全文可知， 文章主 要介绍了一个世纪以来万圣节前夜习俗的变化， 提到了节日用语和服装等方面的变化。故 D 项“Changes to

It would be a special birthday party, because Grandma Sophie would turn 100 years old on the birthday. The family was filled with atmosphere of mystery and kind of excitement. Everyone was busy doing something secretly. Jack’s sister was knitting (编织) a woolen scarf for Grandma Sophie. She even brought the threads and weaving sticks to school and knitted between the class intervals. Jack’s brother would play the guitar of Grandma Sophie’s favorite song at the birthday party, so he practiced playing whenever he was free. And
Jack’s parents were decorating the house and doing shopping.
However, little Jack, the 8-year-old boy, sitting with his favorite toy dinosaur, looked unhappy. He wanted to engage in the big event and to make his grandma happy, but he had no idea. He couldn’t knit as his sister did, nor could he play any musical instrument as his brother did. A birthday card with beautiful pictures would be a good choice. But he had no money to buy a card. What he possessed were lots of cards, which were from families and
relatives for his birthday or Christmas and New Year. So little Jack turned to his mother for help.
Jack’s cards came from his friends and relatives all over the country. There were funny cards and serious cards. Some cards had beautiful pictures. Others had silly drawings. Jack saved them all. But his favorite card was
from his grandma.
“Why don’t you recycle some of your old birthday and Christmas cards ” Jack’s mother suggested. “What does that mean ” asked Jack. “Recycle means’ to use again’ ，” said Jack’s mother. “You can create something
new from things that have already been used.” “Recycling is a good idea,” said Jack. “I know. I’ll cut out pictures
and poems from my old cards. Then I’ll make a big, new card to send to Grandma.”
