Thanksgiving is basically a harvest-related festival which celebrates communal harmony. Though this festival is said to have originated in America, a number of other countries also celebrate harvest-related festivals. The festival is observed with different names and in different seasons. In Australia we can see a number of harvest festivals.
Apple Festival & Grape Festival
The harvest for apples and grapes takes place in the month of March in Australia in the granite belt, a special area. The festival is celebrated for 3-4 days. During the festival, various cultural and fun events are organized. Activities like grape crushing competitions, apple picking competitions, street carnivals (狂欢), and grand parades are also part of the festival.
Renmark Orange Week Festival
In August or September, the large orange growing area along the Murray River in South Australia holds a festival in Renmark, which is called the Renmark Orange Week. All kinds of games, competitions and fun last for a week during the carnival. Fireworks are another feature of the festival. The two varieties that are being harvested in Australia are the Valencia, which is from October to May and the Navel, which is from May to October.
Cane Festival
The cane is harvested from June to December in Australia. Most of the cane crop is grow n in Queensland and some in Maclean, New South Wales. And June is time for cane festivals. Just before harvest, the cane is burnt to remove dead leaves and to drive out pests. Machines are being used to cut the cane to the ground.
Wheat Festival
Wheat is harvested in the month of December and is usually finished by the end of January. Harvesting is done by machines. A new harvester invented by Headlie Taylor makes it easier to harvest crops which get flattened or damaged by bad weather.

In 2019, a white-haired senior was awarded the Friendship Medal, the highest order of honor of China for foreigners. It was Isabel Crook. In her more than a century of life, she spent more than 90 years in China and cultivated (培养) a large number of foreign language talents for China.
In 1915, Isabel was born in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. After graduating from the University of Toronto in 1938, Isabel couldn’t wait to return to China. With hard work, she and her colleague completed the survey of over 1,500 families in some villages in Bishan County. She recorded the daily life of the villagers in Xinglongchang with detailed field notes, which give the young people today some idea of the state of affairs in villages at that time.
In 1947, Isabel and her husband David Crook came to China to observe and study the ongoing land reform. A year later, they completed the study and accepted the invitation to stay in China for language teaching.
One could hardly imagine the teaching conditions in the midst of a war. They asked their students to take small stools (凳子) with them so that they could give class everywhere. They tailored (定制) teaching approaches to suit students’ different language proficiency levels. Without handy teaching materials, they collected articles from English newspapers and magazines. In oral English teaching, Isabel asked students to watch their teachers in a given conversation first. Since there were no tape recorders at school, she had to perform the conversation again and again.
Isabel retired in 1981, but she returned to Southwest China many times to set up scholarship for children from poor families. She also went to Inner Mongolia, Ningxia and other places to help with foreign language teaching. Isabel died in 2023 in Beijing.
24．What do we know about Isabel according to the text
A．She got China’s highest honor for foreigners.
B．She received her college education in China.
C．She returned to China as a teacher at age 23.
D．She helped children in need all over China.
25．When did Isabel start the journey of language teaching in China
A．In 1915. B．In 1938. C．In 1948. D．In 1981.
26．Which of the following best describes the couple’s teaching
A．Boring but helpful. B．Simple and modern.
C．Traditional but attractive. D．Flexible（灵活的） and personalized（个性化的）.
27．What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning Isabel’s experiences
A．Her working experiences were rich.
B．Her life in China was quite colorful.
C．She devoted herself to teaching in China.
D．She showed great interest in Chinese history.

Chinese food in Britain has over 100 years of history. Since then, they’ve been springing up around the country. Today, Chinese food is one of the top choices for hungry Englishmen.
But since coming to China, I’ve found some differences. Much of the Chinese food in Britain is influenced by western tastes. For example, dishes are not hot and had fewer kinds. It’s difficult to find the hot food of Yunnan food in Britain. The most popular Chinese dishes in Britain are chou mein, egg-fried rice and spring rolls. Also, meat dishes are always sweet and sour.
The Chinese food in Britain not only gives a different taste. In most Chinese restaurants, food is served as a buffet (自助的). And once you sit down in a Chinese restaurant, don’t hope to rotate (旋转) the dishes around a big round table to share. This kind of table in English is called a Lazy Susan because it’s convenient to move dishes around. But in Britain they are very uncommon.
At the end of the meal, don’t forget your lucky cookie! In most Chinese restaurants, you’ll be given a cake that you break a half. Inside is a small piece of paper with your lucky words written on it. Although you can hardly find lucky cakes in China, no Chinese meal in Britain is complete without reading these letters of good luck.
28．What does the underlined phrase “springing up” in paragraph 1 mean
A．Change. B．Keep. C．Appear. D．Disappear.
29．According to the writer, Chinese dishes in Britain ______.
A．are not hot
B．have more kinds
C．are similar to Western dishes
D．are not influenced by western tastes
30．From the last two paragraphs, we can learn that ______.
A．lucky cakes are popular in Britain
B．it is common to see a Lazy Susan in Britain
C．lucky cakes are served at the beginning of a meal
D．the waiters are often called Susan in Chinese restaurants
31．What’s the best title of this passage
A．A Lazy Susan B．Chinese Lucky Cakes
C．English Food in China D．Chinese Food in Britain
D
Life in space will certainly take some getting used to! But the space station has been designed to keep the astronauts as comfortable as possible—the modules(舱) are roomy, bright, and kept at a constant 21℃. It’s important the crew members are comfortable because they’ll be busy aboard the station. In a typical workday, crew members will spend 14 hours working and exercising, 1.5 hours preparing and eating meals, and 8.5 hours sleeping. Here are some other fun facts about life aboard the station:
Food
Come mealtime, astronauts will have a special dining kitchen. Space food just keeps getting better—and more like food we enjoy here on Earth. In early space missions(任务), astronauts could eat only freeze-dried food that didn’t require any preparation. But the space station is equipped with water, microwave ovens, and refrigerators, allowing the folks on board to eat more “normal” types of food, including fruit, vegetables, and ice cream!
Sleep
Each crew member has a private room. With no gravity, they’ll need to tie themselves to their beds, or they will float away! That might sound like a strange way to sleep, but astronauts from past space missions report that sleeping in space is actually pretty great! Exercise
You might not think it, but exercise is even more important on the station than it is on Earth. There is not much gravity in space. Astronauts don’t stand up, sit down or walk in space, so their muscles and bones don’t have to work much—and this muscle and bone loss can be dangerous back on Earth. To fight this, astronauts on the station will exercise on bikes, rowing machines, and other equipment about two hours every day.
Clothing
Astronauts will have to wear special space suits while travelling aboard the U.S. shuttle or Russian rockets. But once they’re safe inside the space station, crew members can wear regular clothing. Of course, a specially designed, pressurized space suit is required for space walks. It has to bear flying pieces and protect the astronauts from dramatic temperature changes. It can range from -84℃ in the shadow of the station to 121℃ in the hot sun.
Personal Cleanliness
Simple tasks like brushing your teeth can be challenging in a weightless environment. A little water doesn’t flow in a stream. Astronauts will use a freshwater hose(软管) to take showers, shampoo, and wash off—then a second vacuum hose to suction(吸) off the dirty water. And how do you go to the bathroom in space With a special “air toilet” that uses flowing air instead of water to get rid of waste.
32．The text is mainly about________ .
A．ways to get used to life in space.
B．fun facts about life in space.
C．temperature changes in space.
D．a typical workday in space.
33．What can we learn about space food from the text
A．Space food is getting better now than before.
B．Astronauts could eat apples in space in the past.
C．Fresh food isn’t available to astronauts in space.
D．Astronauts eat only fruit, vegetables and ice cream now.
34．Why is exercise more important in space than on Earth
A．It can prevent muscle and bone loss.
B．It can make astronauts feel relaxed in space.
C．It can help astronauts spend their spare time happily.
D．Astronauts’ lives are more important in space than on earth.
35．What can be learned from the paragraph “Clothing”
A．Astronauts wear pressurized space suits just to keep warm.
B．Astronauts can wear regular clothing for space walks now.
C．Astronauts must wear special space suits all the time in space.
D．The temperature is quite different in different places in space.

How to Become a Morning Person
Everyone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for health. 36 Here are some ways you can focus on that can help you become a better morning person.
Shift your bedtime.
37 Most people should aim for at least seven hours a night — so you’ll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition (过渡) to a new schedule. You could fall straight into getting up at your desired time every day, knowing that you’ll feel tired during the transition but will naturally start falling asleep earlier within a few weeks.
Relax before bed.
Don’t watch TV or fiddle around (摆弄) with laptops right before you go to bed because they are shining light into your eyes and maybe even tricking your brain into thinking that it’s earlier than it really is. 38 Try not to do anything too stimulating before bed, and instead focus on relaxing activities like taking a bath or listening to comfortable music.
39
The secret to becoming a morning person is exposure to bright light. That’s because light suppresses (抑制) melatonin, a hormone (激素) that plays an important role in circadian (昼夜) rhythm. Natural light is the best, so get outside or open your bedroom window.
Make mornings more pleasant.
Try to schedule something to look forward to in the morning so that getting up feels like less hard. Perhaps a hot cup of coffee, sipped in silence, and the daily crossword puzzle. 40
A．Lighten up.
B．Work up a sweat.
C．It’s important to make sure you’re getting enough sleep.
D．But many people have great difficulty in getting up early.
E．It’s hard to stop surfing the internet late at night if you’re a night owl.
F．Make sure the light around you is not too bright when it’s close to your bedtime.
G．Knowing that something pleasant awaits can help you take that first painful step out of bed.

Shortly afterwards,Alice dashed into her room and pulled out the test paper.Recalling the joyful moment,a mixture of guilt and unwillingness overwhelmed her.Alice slowly picked up her pen,hesitant.“If I put the missing ‘t’ back in,no one would ever know,” she thought.The moment the nib touched the paper,her heart began to beat fast,her hand trembling.Straightening her back,Alice took a few deep breaths,tossed the pen on the table and stormed out of the house with her backpack.She raced back to school as fast as her legs could carry her.
Alice pushed open the door of Lisa’s office.At the sight of Alice,Lisa asked her what was happening.Alice unzipped her bag,pulled out the prize and handed it to her teacher.Head down,she explained her mistake in spelling competition.For a moment,Lisa stood quietly reading the label on the dictionary.Then she picked up a pen,crossed out the word “perfect” on the label and wrote “honest” before handing the prize back to Alice.“I get to keep this Honestly ” she asked suspiciously.“Not for the spelling mistake you made,”Lisa smiled,“but for your honesty.”
