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

I was ten years old when I started watching lawn tennis. Having developed interest in tennis, I started following and gaining knowledge about the game. The play of the 100th seed was the best according to me until I asked my father who is the number 1 ranked player in the world, to which he replied — Roger Federer.
That was it! I watched his play at Wimbledon and really couldn’t stop admiring this personality. His silky smooth movement, flawless serve, unreachable powerful forehand, amazing footwork—all of it was pretty amazing. I started playing tennis because of him; he was undoubtedly my role model. I followed his career off the tennis court and learned things about him that really made me a better person in life.
There is a feeling of joy in each stroke that Federer plays and a feeling of excitement in each thing he does whether it is giving an interview, doing a press conference, practicing on court or mere signing the tennis balls for fans. There is never a dull moment when he is around, which inspires everyone to be happy and joyous in life in whatever they do. One of the most important things about him which inspires me is his sense of humor.
Federer first congratulates his opponents and never shies from telling them they played wonderfully well, and that luck was on his side today or that he had a good day, instead of attributing the victory to his hours of hard work and training. He always looks for opportunities to praise others.
Another admirable thing about Federer is his love for the game. It teaches me that it’s great to do what you love. You can excel in any profession if you love it from your heart; it then becomes no more a profession but a thing of joy from which you can get satisfaction and fulfilment each day you practice it. It is no more a duty but a sense of fulfilment(成就).
He is the most respected player in the game and everyone feels privileged to play against him, and some don’t even mind losing to him! This kind of respect is not gained in a few days but in many years by achieving perfectionism both on and off the court, by inspiring and motivating generations to come and becoming a part of history, by not just getting awards on the court but also by being a good man. Federer’s energy motivates me to keep moving on and on in my life, fighting difficulties with a smile and cherishing good moments as well as not so good.
4. How did the author initially know Federer
A. By watching the play of the 100th seed player.
B. By following a Wimbledon tournament.
C. By participating in a tennis camp.
D. By requiring his father.
5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Federer’s optimistic and humorous features.
B. How Federer reacted when being interviewed.
C. The influence Federer has on his fans.
D. How Federer achieved victories through hard exercise.
6. Which of the following might the author agree with
A. We should never cares about losing a game.
B. We’d better keep a good relationship with anyone.
C. We should treasure both good and not-so-good moments in life.
D. We can learn to handle challenges brought by our opponents.
7. What is probably the best title
A. The Significance of Following a Model B. An Inspiring Legend: Roger Federer
C. The Way to Gain the Sense of Fulfilment D. The Privilege of Being a Tennis Star
C
The UK is experiencing a boom in book clubs, according to new data from event listing companies. Book club listings on the ticketing site Eventbrite increased by 350% between 2019 and 2023. Between 2022 and 2023 alone, book club listings on the site rose by 41%. Another event listing site, Meetup, reported a 14% increase in the number of RSVPs to book clubs between January 2023 and January 2024, compared with a 4% increase in RSVPs for all UK-based events.
Victoria Okafor, who co-runs the book club Between2Books, said the heightened interest in reading may be partly the result of a general “shift in hobbies”, as GenZ (the generation around 00s) turned to other ways to spend their free time. Besides, during the global health crisis period, many people were forced to slow down and pick up or reignite hobbies, and online book clubs provided a platform to connect with others.
Social media may be helping with the visibility of book clubs too, said Okafor. “People may come across your page accidentally, but from there people have the knowledge to attend should they wish. I think this makes a big difference compared to just hearing things from word of mouth.”
Many of the book clubs listed on Eventbrite carry specific themes — Sheffield Feminist Book Club, Bring Your Baby Book Club, and Modern Chinese Literature Online Book Club.
Okafor’s club, Between2Books, focuses on books by writers traditionally excluded (排除) from the classics. She thought she began seeking out such stories “embarrassingly late”. “Reading authors of color brought back a joy to my reading that came from not only seeing elements of myself and culture reflected in novels but also reading stories that could be funny or empowering as opposed to the accounts of struggle that can often surround stories of people of color,” she said. “The variety of books makes reading and discussion so rich and I think that’s what attenders are drawn to.”
8. How is paragraph 1 mainly developed
A. By giving examples. B. By listing figures.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By presenting theories.
9. What does the underlined word “reignite” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Return. B. Reward. C. Regain. D. Reconnect.
10. Which is one of the reasons for the boom of book clubs
A. The influence of social media. B. The recommendation of old generations.
C. GenZ having a stronger thirst for knowledge. D. Some people shifting the focus of their lives.
11. What attracts people to join Okafor’s club according to the last paragraph
A. The diversity of books. B. The reputation of writers.
C. The humor of the works. D. The suggestion of the organizer.
D
Late last month a team of researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine transplanted a genetically modified pig heart into a person — the second such surgery ever attempted — and it has kept him alive for the past few weeks.
The patient, 58-year-old Lawrence Faucette, underwent the highly experimental procedure under a “compassionate use” pathway, in which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration permits an unapproved therapy when a person is seriously ill or dying and has no other options available. Faucette was not eligible for a conventional human heart transplant because he had peripheral vascular disease and other complications, which narrowed the outlook for success.
By mid-October, Faucette was continuing to recover. “He’s had a rough time,” however, Bartley Griffith, a surgeon who performed Faucette’s procedure as well as the previous one, said at that time. According to Griffith, Faucette was living at home when the FDA first approved the surgery, but he was subsequently hospitalized with fluid in his lungs. Then he suffered a cardiac arrest the night before the surgery. Still, he had so far responded well to the transplant.
More than 100,000 people are waiting for an organ transplant, so researchers have long been exploring xenotransplantation (异种器官移植): transplanting other species’ organs into humans. To prevent the human immune system from attacking these alien organs, scientists have begun to breed genetically modified donor pigs that lack certain genes or have other genes added.
In the past couple of years, pig xenotransplants have been tested in both nonhuman primates and deceased humans — but the ultimate goal is to conduct human clinical trials on a bigger scale. The results of the recent compassionate use transplant will likely influence the FDA’s consideration of whether and when to allow such trials to take place. Many researchers hope this could happen in the next year or two.
“We took a pretty good swing at the ball the first time, and we got very close to a prolonged success, we think,” Griffith says. Although there were some unforeseen circumstances in that first xenotransplant, his team and others have developed better methods to test for these conditions.
12. Why did Faucette undergo the pig-to-human heart transplant
A. Because he was seriously ill and there was no better options.
B. Because the pig heart fits well in human body.
C. Because FDA has long approved such transplant.
D. Because the surgery has been applied in medical treatment already.
13. What do we know about the transplant according to paragraph 3
A. Faucette highly praises the surgery.
B. Faucette responds well to the alien organ.
C. Faucette has suffered a lot after the transplant.
D. Faucette experienced cardic arrest after the surgery.
14. What method was put forward to prevent human immune system from attacking the alien organs
A. The FDA is taking great care on human clinical trials.
B. The patients will receive the best of care after the transplant.
C. The human immune system is greatly changed before the transplant.
D. Scientists modified the donor pig’s genes or added other genes before breeding it.
15. What’s scientists’ attitudes towards pig xenotrasplants
A. Skeptical. B. Neutral. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.

As I was packing up, I noticed my colleague had left his laptop bag in my office. Since he was already home, I decided to bring it to him. It was 4:30 p. m. The snow wasn’t supposed to start until later according to the previous warning, but just to be safe, I decided to use the country roads near his home instead of the highway, which could fast become a skating rink (滑冰场).
After I dropped off the laptop case and got right back on the road, the snow started. Within minutes I was in a whiteout. I rolled down my window, thinking I could follow the edge of the road and keep to a straight line. But really, I hadn’t a clue where I was or even which side of the road I was on. I had to stop because I was afraid of driving into a farmer’s field, or worse. I called 911, only to be told that nobody was coming to get me until morning at the earliest.
Those seconds after the call were the worst of my life. Getting out to walk in a whiteout and high winds when it was -10°C wasn’t an option. So I texted my colleague whose laptop bag I had just returned. I joked about my good deed ending in disaster. But he had an idea. “Pin your location on Google Maps and send it to me,” he said.
I did, and soon he texted me back a screenshot of the satellite view of where I was. We figured out that I was on a road in between two farms. I posted this new information to my Facebook community group, pleading (恳求) for anyone who knew someone living here to help me get rescued.
Soon enough, people started responding on my post. I got a message from someone who was going to put me in touch with the family living there. At 8 p. m., my mobile phone rang. It was the son of the farmer who owned the land beside the road I was stranded (使滞留) on. He told me that his dad was coming to get me!
Then, about 45 minutes later, I saw a tall figure walking toward me in the dark, carrying a flashlight.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As his wife treated me to hot drinks, André went into the storm again and brought back another two families stranded on the road.

I was ten years old when I started watching lawn tennis. Having developed interest in tennis, I started following and gaining knowledge about the game. The play of the 100th seed was the best according to me until I asked my father who is the number 1 ranked player in the world, to which he replied — Roger Federer.
That was it! I watched his play at Wimbledon and really couldn’t stop admiring this personality. His silky smooth movement, flawless serve, unreachable powerful forehand, amazing footwork—all of it was pretty amazing. I started playing tennis because of him; he was undoubtedly my role model. I followed his career off the tennis court and learned things about him that really made me a better person in life.
There is a feeling of joy in each stroke that Federer plays and a feeling of excitement in each thing he does whether it is giving an interview, doing a press conference, practicing on court or mere signing the tennis balls for fans. There is never a dull moment when he is around, which inspires everyone to be happy and joyous in life in whatever they do. One of the most important things about him which inspires me is his sense of humor.
Federer first congratulates his opponents and never shies from telling them they played wonderfully well, and that luck was on his side today or that he had a good day, instead of attributing the victory to his hours of hard work and training. He always looks for opportunities to praise others.
Another admirable thing about Federer is his love for the game. It teaches me that it’s great to do what you love. You can excel in any profession if you love it from your heart; it then becomes no more a profession but a thing of joy from which you can get satisfaction and fulfilment each day you practice it. It is no more a duty but a sense of fulfilment(成就).
He is the most respected player in the game and everyone feels privileged to play against him, and some don’t even mind losing to him! This kind of respect is not gained in a few days but in many years by achieving perfectionism both on and off the court, by inspiring and motivating generations to come and becoming a part of history, by not just getting awards on the court but also by being a good man. Federer’s energy motivates me to keep moving on and on in my life, fighting difficulties with a smile and cherishing good moments as well as not so good.
4. How did the author initially know Federer
A. By watching the play of the 100th seed player.
B. By following a Wimbledon tournament.
C. By participating in a tennis camp.
D. By requiring his father.
5. What is paragraph 3 mainly about

B. We’d better keep a good relationship with anyone.
C. We should treasure both good and not-so-good moments in life.
D. We can learn to handle challenges brought by our opponents.

The UK is experiencing a boom in book clubs, according to new data from event listing companies. Book club listings on the ticketing site Eventbrite increased by 350% between 2019 and 2023. Between 2022 and 2023 alone, book club listings on the site rose by 41%. Another event listing site, Meetup, reported a 14% increase in the number of RSVPs to book clubs between January 2023 and January 2024, compared with a 4% increase in RSVPs for all UK-based events.
Victoria Okafor, who co-runs the book club Between2Books, said the heightened interest in reading may be partly the result of a general “shift in hobbies”, as GenZ (the generation around 00s) turned to other ways to spend their free time. Besides, during the global health crisis period, many people were forced to slow down and pick up or reignite hobbies, and online book clubs provided a platform to connect with others.
Social media may be helping with the visibility of book clubs, too, said Okafor. “People may come across your page accidentally, but from there people have the knowledge to attend should they wish. I think this makes a big difference compared to just hearing things from word of mouth.”
Many of the book clubs listed on Eventbrite carry specific themes — Sheffield Feminist Book Club, Bring Your Baby Book Club, and Modern Chinese Literature Online Book Club.
Okafor’s club, Between2Books, focuses on books by writers traditionally excluded (排除) from the classics. She thought she began seeking out such stories “embarrassingly late”. “Reading authors of color brought back a joy to my reading that came from not only seeing elements of myself and culture reflected in novels but also reading stories that could be funny or empowering as opposed to the accounts of struggle that can often surround stories of people of color,” she said. “The variety of books makes reading and discussion so rich and I think that’s what attenders are drawn to.”
8. How is paragraph 1 mainly developed
A. By giving examples. B. By listing figures.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By presenting theories.
9. What does the underlined word “reignite” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Return. B. Reward. C. Regain. D. Reconnect.
10. Which is one of the reasons for the boom of book clubs
A. The influence of social media. B. The recommendation of old generations.
C. GenZ having a stronger thirst for knowledge. D. Some people shifting the focus of their lives.
11. What attracts people to join Okafor’s club according to the last paragraph
A. The diversity of books. B. The reputation of writers.
C. The humor of the works. D. The suggestion of the organizer.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】

Late last month a team of researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine transplanted a genetically modified pig heart into a person — the second such surgery ever attempted — and it has kept him alive for the past few weeks.
The patient, 58-year-old Lawrence Faucette, underwent the highly experimental procedure under a “compassionate use” pathway, in which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration permits an unapproved therapy when a person is seriously ill or dying and has no other options available. Faucette was not eligible for a conventional human heart transplant because he had peripheral vascular disease and other complications, which narrowed the outlook for success.
By mid-October, Faucette was continuing to recover. “He’s had a rough time,” however, Bartley Griffith, a surgeon who performed Faucette’s procedure as well as the previous one, said at that time. According to Griffith, Faucette was living at home when the FDA first approved the surgery, but he was subsequently hospitalized with fluid in his lungs. Then he suffered a cardiac arrest the night before the surgery. Still, he had so far responded well to the transplant.
More than 100,000 people are waiting for an organ transplant, so researchers have long been exploring xenotransplantation (异种器官移植): transplanting other species’ organs into humans. To prevent the human immune system from attacking these alien organs, scientists have begun to breed genetically modified donor pigs that lack certain genes or have other genes added.
In the past couple of years, pig xenotransplants have been tested in both nonhuman primates and deceased humans — but the ultimate goal is to conduct human clinical trials on a bigger scale. The results of the recent compassionate use transplant will likely influence the FDA’s consideration of whether and when to allow such trials to take place. Many researchers hope this could happen in the next year or two.
“We took a pretty good swing at the ball the first time, and we got very close to a prolonged success, we think,” Griffith says. Although there were some unforeseen circumstances in that first xenotransplant, his team and others have developed better methods to test for these conditions.
12. Why did Faucette undergo the pig-to-human heart transplant
A. Because he was seriously ill and there was no better options.
B. Because the pig heart fits well in human body.
C. Because FDA has long approved such transplant.
D. Because the surgery has been applied in medical treatment already.
13. What do we know about the transplant according to paragraph 3
A. Faucette highly praises the surgery.
B. Faucette responds well to the alien organ.
C. Faucette has suffered a lot after the transplant.
D. Faucette experienced cardic arrest after the surgery.
14. What method was put forward to prevent human immune system from attacking the alien organs
A. The FDA is taking great care on human clinical trials.
B. The patients will receive the best of care after the transplant.
C. The human immune system is greatly changed before the transplant.
D. Scientists modified the donor pig’s genes or added other genes before breeding it.
15. What’s scientists’ attitudes towards pig xenotrasplants
A. Skeptical. B. Neutral. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“the U.S. Food and Drug Administration permits an unapproved therapy when a person is seriously ill or dying and has no other options available.(美国食品和药物管理局允许未经批准的治疗,当一个人身患重病或濒临死亡,没有其他选择。)”以及“Faucette was not eligible for a conventional human heart transplant because he had peripheral vascular disease and other complications, which narrowed the outlook for success.(由于Faucette患有外周血管疾病和其他并发症,他不适合进行传统的人类心脏移植手术,这缩小了成功的可能性。)”可知,Faucette是因为病情严重且无更好的选择,才选择异种器官移植手术。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句“Still, he had so far responded well to the transplant.(不过,到目前为止,他对移植反应良好。)”可知,Faucette对异种器官移植的反应良好。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句“To prevent the human immune system from attacking these alien organs, scientists have begun to breed genetically modified donor pigs that lack certain genes or have other genes added.(为了防止人类的免疫系统攻击这些外来器官,科学家们已经开始培育出缺乏某些基因或添加了其他基因的转基因供体猪。)”可知,为了阻止人体免疫系统对异种器官的排斥反应,科学家们已经在培育前修改了转基因供体猪的基因或添加了其他基因。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段最后一句“Many researchers hope this could happen in the next year or two.(许多研究人员希望这能在未来一两年内发生。)”可知,科学家们对转基因供体猪的态度是支持的。故选C项。

petition
40. steamed
41. Alternatively
42. its 43. as
44. regions
45. being
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国的馒头出现在巴黎圣母院前举行的一年一度的面包节上。这成为互联网上的热门话题。
【36题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:在视频中,一排馒头摆放在陈列的烘焙食品中。此处用作句子的谓语部分,主语mantou和动词place之间是被动关系,应使用被动语态,此处陈述的是过去的事情,应使用一般过去时,mantou属于物质类,是不可数名词,助动词be应使用单数形式。故填was placed。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:很快,“中国馒头在法国面包节上竞争”成为互联网上的热门话题。此处缺少冠词,表示“一个热门话题”是泛指,需用不定冠词,空格后的单词trending开头发音是辅音,应使用不定冠词a。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意:我们每天在餐桌上看到的馒头已经转身去法国参加国际比赛了。此处是定语从句引导词,先行词是The steamed buns,定语从句缺少宾语,可以使用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:同上。此处缺少名词用作介词in的宾语,前面有不定冠词an限定,应使用单数形式。故填competition。
【40题详解】
考查省略句。句意:刚蒸好的时候,它本身就是一种享受。此处为状语从句的省略:当状语从句中含有“主语+be动词+动词的现在分词/过去分词”,且其主语与主句的主语一致时,从句的“主语+be动词”可以省略。本句完整的时间状语从句为When it is freshly steamed,省略it is。故填steamed。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:或者,它可以被烤、串起来、烤成金黄色,它的味道可以用孜然和辣椒粉等芳香香料来增强。此处用作句子的状语,表示“或者”,需用副词alternatively,位于句首首字母大写。故填Alternatively。
【42题详解】
考查代词。句意:同上。此处需要形容词性物主代词修饰名词flavor,表示“它的”。故填its。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:根据视频,标签称其为mantao,并将其描述为:“用小麦面粉、酵母制成,然后蒸熟”。此处缺少介词as,构成固定短语describe…as,表示“把……描述成……”。故填as。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意:在该国的南部地区,添加糖和脂肪。此处用作介词in的宾语,region是可数名词,根据句意应使用复数形式。故填regions。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:作为一种主食,它有各种各样的形状,最常见的是圆形、叶形、花形。此处be用作复合结构的宾语补足语,和宾语ones是逻辑上的主动关系,应使用现在分词。故填being。
