Strangest Festivals around the World
Through the years, people have found many ways to celebrate important occasions in their lives. If you’re looking for an interesting and off-the-beaten-path tourist site, here are some most wonderful and unusual festivals from around the world.
Battle of the Orange, Ivrea, Italy
Each year in February, a battle takes place in this Italian town among thousands of tourists who throw oranges at each other during a 30-minute fight. The aim is to try and knock down other people by attacking them with oranges so that they cannot stand any longer.
Underwater Music Festival, Florida, America
Rather than being held at a typical concert hall, the Underwater Music Festival takes place on the seabed in July. Aiming to protect the sea lives, this unique custom features musicians playing music below water level. 100 feet deep in clear water, talented musicians wear diving equipment, performing free concerts for sea creatures and humans alike.
Rayne Frog (青蛙) Festival, Louisiana, America
The Rayne Frog Festival is held every fall in Rayne, Louisiana. The festival features all things frog: frog races, frog jumping, and the selection of the Frog Derby Queen. Besides music performance, it also holds a variety of frog-themed runs, fairs and other activities. If you are into frogs, there’s no other place you’d rather be in mid-November.
Night of the Radishes (萝卜), Oaxaca, Mexico
Night of the Radishes is a celebration that takes place every December 23rd in Oaxaca, Mexico. It features all kinds of radish sculptures (雕塑). The tradition began when local radish growers began carving their produce in order to attract customers. But radishes are just radishes after all, and the sculptures don’t last.
21. What can tourists do at the Italian festival
A. Throw oranges at each other. B. Play music below water level.
C. Watch frog races. D. Enjoy radish sculptures.
22. Who is most likely to be attracted to Underwater Music Festival
A A fruit grower fond of music. B. A music lover caring about sea lives.
C. A sports fan who likes fun games. D. An artist gifted in sculptures.
23. Which festival suits a tourist who expects a special Christmas holiday
A Battle of the Orange. B. Underwater Music Festival.
Rayne Frog Festival. D. Night of the Radishes.

I’ve been into volunteer work since childhood. As a girl, I volunteered at animal shelters, played music at nursing homes, and helped with community cleanup. In college, I volunteered heavily at a large yearly conference (会议), where I first met and fell in love with my husband Tom, who was on my team of co-volunteers.
Volunteering has been a way of life for me and I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t enjoy it. Most of the time, you do feel that you’re making a difference. Once I led a project that provided food to Syrian families. When it was nearing Ramadan, the biggest holiday season in Islam, I filled the food package with nuts, olive oil, sweets... We took the package and arrived just as a Syrian family was sitting on their floor for breakfast. They had nothing but some bread and a pot of tea. The mother cried when seeing us, saying she would never forget our kindness gratefully.
Another time, some friends and I volunteered to a church with only a few elderly residents. The churchyard needed attention. We spent the weekend in the home of one of these old ladies so we could clean and repair the churchyard. I’ll never forget the new life in her eyes as she stayed with us. It broke my heart to remember this old lady with pleasure for such small efforts we made.
Volunteer work is satisfying not because you have done some work, but because your presence has an effect on people around. It makes me grateful for what I have and gives me a chance to serve people.
24. Where did the author meet her husband for the first time
A. In her college. B. At a conference.
C. At a nursing home. D. At an animal shelter.
25. Why did the Syrian mother cry when the author arrived
A. She was grateful to the kindness. B. Her children were badly ill
C. She didn’t have any food at all. D. Her house was broken.
26. What was the old lady’s attitude from Paragraph 3
A. Surprised. B. Disappointed. C. Pleased. D. Confused.
27. Why does the author think volunteering is satisfying
A. She can make lots of friends. B. She can learn much knowledge.
C. She can kill much of her free time. D. She can have an effect on people around.
C
Some people say global English is no longer just controlled by British or American English, but is running free and developing uniquely local forms. Can you figure out the following terms
“I like your smile, but unlike you put your shoes on my face.” This is a way of saying “Keep off the grass” Or “people mountain, people sea”, which means “very crowded”.
These examples are what we call Chinglish. When it comes to Chinglish, if all you know is “good good study, day day up”, you will be considered “out man”.
Nowadays, more Chinglish words have been created, for example, a Chinese idiom is translated as “smilence”, a combination by the English word smile and silence.
Chinglish usually offers a humorous look at misuses of the English language in Chinese street signs, products, and advertising. They are favoured by some English speaking tourists and visitors. Dominic Swire has been living in Beijing for a couple of years. “I think many Chinese people complain about the Chinglish and badly translated English. But you know, sometimes for us foreigners, it’s actually quite charming to see them. I think if the translations of English in China were all perfect, then something would be lost from Chinese culture.”
However, Chinglish will probably become a “cultural relic” in the near future. Beijing has made a comprehensive plan to improve foreign language services and correct Chinglish within five years. “It is very ridiculous to see Chinglish on the signs in some scenic spots. And they are a kind of barrier for communication between Chinese and people from other countries,” a Beijinger said.
Some Chinese university experts side with Chinglish. They argue that English has absorbed elements from other languages such as French and Spanish in its growth, and now it’s Chinese’s turn.
28. Which one of the following can be called Chinglish according to the examples
A. English words which get new Chinese meanings.
B. The Chinese words which are difficult to translate.
C. The words combining English vocabulary and Chinese grammar.
D. The local words preventing foreigners from learning Chinese well.
29. What does “smilence” most probably mean
A. Laughing at somebody. B. Knowing little about speech.
C. Smiling without being noticed. D. Saying nothing but to smile.
30. What is Swire’s attitude to Chinglish
A. It helps him to learn Chinese well. B. It seems part of Chinese culture.
C. It can show the humour of Chinese. D. It will attract more foreign tourists.
31. Why is Chinglish likely to become a “cultural relic” in Beijing
A. Because Beijing is determined to get rid of Chinglish signs.
B Because Chinglish is a chance to enrich Chinese and English.
C. Because it has become a unique bridge between Chinese and English.
D. Because it improves the understanding between Chinese and foreigners.
D
Robots are often cast in popular science fiction as the bad characters that take over the world and enslave mankind. But with the beginning of some serious diseases, robots are increasingly being employed as helpers, taking on often dull, difficult and dangerous tasks and thus reducing humans' exposure to some terrifying virus.
In the United States, two of the main ways in which robotic technology is being used in the hospitals are to disinfect(消毒）hospital rooms and act as a telemedicine portal, allowing doctors and health care workers to communicate via video conference directly with patients without unnecessarily exposing themselves to those highly infectious virus.
In Boston, doctors, researchers and robotics engineers have teamed up to bring a friendly, dog-like, four-legged robot named Spot into Brigham and Women' s Hospital, allowing doctors to communicate with patients via telemedicine.
In March, at the start of the pandemic, a league from hospital, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Spot's manufacturer-Boston Dynamnics, began testing the robot's design to enable Spot to communicate with patients, thus reducing the exposure of frontline health care workers to the virus. In the place of a head, Spot has an iPad affixed to a stand, allowing doctors to conduct telemedicine services with their patients.
“Most people actually really like it,” says Dr. Peter Chai, an emergency medicine physician who serves as the hospital's chief researcher on the robot project.
Researchers are working to increase the robot's diagnostic abilities, enabling it to measure the patients temperature and his or her respiratory rate (呼吸率）.
Chai predicts that hospitals will continue to find more ways to use robots, and tie wonders whether robots can deliver supplies to rooms or see patients with other infectious diseases.
32. What words can best describe the jobs robots are employed to do
A. Normal and easy. B. Exciting and dangerous.
C. Dirty and complex. D. Frightening and difficult.
33. Why are robots being used in American hospitals
A. To save money. B. To replace doctors.
C. To protect doctors from infecting virus. D. To deliver supplies to patients and doctors.
34. What do we know about Spot
A. It is a friendly dog.
B. It can deliver supplies to hospital rooms.
C. It can help adjust the patient's temperature.
D. It allows doctors to conduct telemedicine services.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. Spot the Robot Dog B. Train Robot Doctors
C. Robots Being Used in Hospital D. Robots in Popular Science Fiction

67. 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。
About ten years ago, my wife and I took a trip to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. I didn't like to carry all my keys in my pocket during a hike, so I took away the key to the car and left the rest in the car. When we came back, I put the key somewhere in the car without reattaching(把……重新连上) it to the keyring. Then we made a fire, cooked some food, and went to sleep in the back of the SUV.
The next morning, we were cleaning up our campsite when I saw a bird inside my car. I walked over, and it flew away. When we got in the car to go home, I couldn't find the key. We searched and searched, even emptying out the car completely, but it was gone.
Then it hit me that the bird must have taken it. After all, those birds are known for stealing shiny things and decorating their nests with them. Keys are shiny. The bird was the thief! It made perfect sense to me. So I decided to find its nest.
But there was a problem: As everyone knows, the Grand Canyon is a little large in area, so I didn't have confidence in actually finding a certain nest belonging to a certain bird in a certain tree in all that space. But what other choices did I have
My wife was not encouraging me. She said, “Are you crazy You'll never find it! The Grand Canyon is one of the biggest holes on Earth!” I didn't answer and walked steadily forward until her laughter died away.
I struggled to keep hope as I searched dozens of trees and tracked every singing bird. It was like searching a needle in the sea. But, oh, how great my victory would be when I held the missing key from the bird's nest!
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
After two hours of search, I finally gave up and returned to the car.

Paragraph 2:
The next day, we stopped at a service centre for lunch.
