“I like pop songs better before I actually got a chance to sing hua’er at the age of 19,” said Sa Lina,36, who has since become a famous singer, devoting herself to this traditional art form for almost two decades
Hua’er, which means flower in Chinese, is a Chinese folk song style. It is popular and shared by people of nine ethnic groups in Qinghai, Gansu, Ningxia and Xinjiangfor hundreds of years.

New Year is a time to celebrate for almost everyone around the world. In Britain, people go to pubs to dance the old year away and to welcome the new one at midnight.
In recent years, street parties have become more popular. Hundreds or even thousands of people gather in squares, main streets or on the riverbanks to listen to bands playing and to see fireworks display.
For people who stay at home, most of them watch special and live New Year shows on TV with the hosts. As the last seconds of the old year are ticked away from 10 to 1, the bells of the New Year are rung.
In Scotland, on New Year’s Eve, people visit their neighbors, drink, dance and generally have a good time. If you’re invited to a Scottish home, you should bring some important things with you: some coal, shortbread and whisky.
The coal shows warmth, so you’re wishing that the people you visit will have enough heat in the coming year. The shortbread represents food, so you’re hoping that the people will have enough to eat in the new year. Some Scots call whisky “the water of life”, so when you hand over your bottle to your hosts, it means you want them to have enough to drink over the next 12 months.
There’s one more key task you still need to perform if you can. The first person to knock on a neighbor’s door is supposed to be a tall and handsome man. If you are, you’ll bring good luck to the household. What if that’s not you Well, don’t ring the bell. Wait a while and the right person will turn up soon!
8. Which does not belong to gathering places when people throw street parties
A. Parks. B. Squares. C. Main streets. D. Riverbanks.
9. What can we infer about the New Year in Britain according to the first three paragraphs
A. British people hate the old year, so they dance it away quickly.
B. Street concerts have become less popular on New Year’s Eve.
C. British people often set of fireworks to celebrate the New Year.
D. People do nothing at home but wait for the bell of the New Year.
10. Why do visitors take some things to a Scottish home on New Year’s Eve
A. To offer some food and water. B. To send their lovey wishes.
C. To show respect and richness. D. To help those poor families.
11. Who is the right person to knock at the door
A. A man who listens to bands playing. B. A man who is tall and handsome.
C. A man who performs at street parties. D. A man who carries bread and whisky.

My parents came to the US from India in the 1960s, along with other immigrants from India. Back then, there were few Indians anywhere around the US. My father came to Kansas,where he would get his Ph.D. Six months later, my mother came with the three of us kids — my sister, my brother, and me. We were just six,five and three years old then.
It was the very first winter when we were in Kansas. It was so cold,but we didn’t have heavy coats or warm clothes. We didn’t have a concept of how cold it really could be in the Midwest, and there was a new surprise every day. We didn’t have a car or anything like that, and my dad didn’t have a US driver’s license. But anyway, my father was studying for his Ph.D., and he would walk up and down a big hill to and from the campus on a regular basis.
Since I was three years old, I didn’t go to school, but my sister and brother were in school. My father had to walk down the big hill to take them to school every day and then walk back up the hill to go to university.After about three weeks of living like this, a woman called Valerie,whose son John was in the same class as my brother, started noticing them. On a very cold snowy morning,when they went to school as usual,Valerie passed by. She pulled up and said, “I see you on the way every day. Don’t you feel cold without coats ”My father responded,“We didn’t expect the weather would be so cold in Kansas.”Valerie said,“Maybe I can take your daughter and son to school. Would you like a ride ”
Paragraph 1:
Hearing that, my dad nodded with great joy.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Later, Valerie and her family became so dear to my family.

In recent years, street parties have become more popular. Hundreds or even thousands of people gather in squares, main streets or on the riverbanks to listen to bands playing and to see fireworks display.
For people who stay at home, most of them watch special and live New Year shows on TV with the hosts. As the last seconds of the old year are ticked away from 10 to 1, the bells of the New Year are rung.
In Scotland, on New Year’s Eve, people visit their neighbors, drink, dance and generally have a good time. If you’re invited to a Scottish home, you should bring some important things with you: some coal, shortbread and whisky.
The coal shows warmth, so you’re wishing that the people you visit will have enough heat in the coming year. The shortbread represents food, so you’re hoping that the people will have enough to eat in the new year. Some Scots call whisky “the water of life”, so when you hand over your bottle to your hosts, it means you want them to have enough to drink over the next 12 months.
There’s one more key task you still need to perform if you can. The first person to knock on a neighbor’s door is supposed to be a tall and handsome man. If you are, you’ll bring good luck to the household. What if that’s not you Well, don’t ring the bell. Wait a while and the right person will turn up soon!

About I in every 160 children in the world have autism(自闭症)and it cannot be completely cured. Lots of people are working hard to help those children. And luckily. there are also robots to help them.

47. 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。续写的词数应为 150 左右。
My parents came to the US from India in the 1960s, along with other immigrants from India. Back then, there were few Indians anywhere around the US. My father came to Kansas,where he would get his Ph.D. Six months later, my mother came with the three of us kids — my sister, my brother, and me. We were just six,five and three years old then.
It was the very first winter when we were in Kansas. It was so cold,but we didn’t have heavy coats or warm clothes. We didn’t have a concept of how cold it really could be in the Midwest, and there was a new surprise every day. We didn’t have a car or anything like that, and my dad didn’t have a US driver’s license. But anyway, my father was studying for his Ph.D., and he would walk up and down a big hill to and from the campus on a regular basis.
Since I was three years old, I didn’t go to school, but my sister and brother were in school. My father had to walk down the big hill to take them to school every day and then walk back up the hill to go to university.After about three weeks of living like this, a woman called Valerie,whose son John was in the same class as my brother, started noticing them. On a very cold snowy morning,when they went to school as usual,Valerie passed by. She pulled up and said, “I see you on the way every day. Don’t you feel cold without coats ”My father responded,“We didn’t expect the weather would be so cold in Kansas.”Valerie said,“Maybe I can take your daughter and son to school. Would you like a ride ”
Paragraph 1:
Hearing that, my dad nodded with great joy.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Later, Valerie and her family became so dear to my family.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Hearing that, my dad nodded with great joy. He said, “That would be great. That’s very kind of you.” Then my sister and brother got into Valerie’s car on the freezing cold day. After expressing their thanks to Valerie, they greeted John with a smile. After a while, a faint flush rose to my brother’s cheeks because of the warm wind in the car, and my sister had a broad smile on her face. Seeing that, Valerie decided to continue the act from then on.
Paragraph 2:
Later, Valerie and her family became so dear to my family. It just started with this small act of offering a ride, and afterwards the relationship between the two families gradually deepened. We kids have been close friends with John. Valerie and my mother also became very close. Valerie and her family tried to help us in other aspects, such as offering us warm clothes we were in urgent need of at that time. And my mother loved to cook Indian food for Valerie’s family. We all believed that our friendship would last forever.
