Music Festivals From Around the World
Music possesses a unique power to unit e people across cultures. One great way to feel this connection is by attending some of the world’s most incredible music festivals.
Sziget Festival
The Sziget Festival in Budapest, Hungary, is a renowned six-day celebration of music and art on Obuda Island on the Danube River. Started in 1993, the festival is known for its diverse lineup, featuring top artists from genres like electronic, hip-hop, techno, and pop rock. Beyond music, the festival offers cultural experiences like art exhibitions, theater, circus performances, and film screenings.
Glastonbury
Glastonbury Music Festival is a global music fest held annually at the Worthy Farm in Somerset England. Since its inception（开始）in 1970, it has become a touchstone for music enthusiasts worldwide, drawing more than 200,000 visitors during its remarkable five-day run. Additionally, Glastonbury is among the few festivals striving towards being completely carbon-neutral.
Rock in Rio
The beloved Rock in Rio festival was founded in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1985．The brand has since expanded to other locations, including Lisbon, Madrid, and Las Vegas. Rock in Rio spans multiple days. While its roots are in rock music, Rock in Rio has evolved to include more genres to appeal to a much broader audience. One of Rock in Rio’s standout features is its commitment to environmental initiatives.
Fuji Rock
Fuji Rock is Japan’s biggest music festival, typically held in Naeba Ski Resort in Niiga ta Prefecture.

I had a great time with the film Turning Red, which follows Meilin, a thirteen-year-old girl who suddenly begins turning into a giant red panda.
The film was set in 2002 when I would’ve been around Meilin’s age. It was a joy for me to watch a film that I could relate to. The film illustrates the push-pull that many immigrant families face: how much of their culture to keep and how much to assimilate(融入). There are beautiful traces of Chinese culture throughout this film, including gorgeous food, time around the table, relationships with extended family, and more.
In the film, women in Meilin’s family suffer a curse(诅咒). As soon as they begin to blossom into womanhood, they transform into a giant red panda whenever they express any strong emotion. Thus, they have learned that emotional repression is the way to go. It was beautiful to watch this young girl choose the different path of emotional wellness instead of holding back her feelings.
It’s not a surprise that the director Domee Shi, who is around my age, chose this plotline. Many people my age are on that similar path Meilin finds herself on. We honor our parents and what they have done for us, but we’re also choosing to be more emotionally healthy and trying to live differently than we were taught.
The part of Turning Red I particularly loved is the ending. Though Meilin’s mom, grandma, and aunts see that it’s possible to integrate their red pandas into their lives, they don’t choose that path. Instead, they choose to bottle their pandas up once again. However, they do get a new perspective on this young, groundbreaking girl. It’s such a sweet reminder that not everyone can go on the same journey toward emotional health, and that’s okay.
If all of them had embraced their pandas, I think the ending would’ve felt incredibly cheese and taken away some of the power of the story. So we get a conclusion that is satisfying and heart-warming without being too much of a fairy tale.
4. Why did the author enjoy watching Turning Red
A. She found a connection with the story.
B. She followed a life path similar to its director.
C. She adored the appealing design of the red panda.
D. She valued its emphasis on the beautiful Chinese culture.
5. What does the underlined word “repression” in the third paragraph mean
A. Disturbance. B. Control. C. Wellness. D. Expression.
6. What does the author think of the ending of the film
A. Bittersweet. B. Idealized. C. Realistic. D. Cheesy.
7. What is the central dilemma faced by Meilin in Turning Red
A. “Can I embrace my true self ”
B. “Should I prioritize my family ”
C. “Can I uncover the curse’s secret ”
D. “Should I explore diverse cultures ”
C
Spanish poet Manuel Moya has found an inexhaustible treasure and source of inspiration in the works of some ancient Chinese poets. The grey-bearded 57-year-old never tried to hide his strong love for the famous ancient Chinese recluse (隐士)，Tao Yuanming (352/365-427) and other poets Wang Wei, Li Bai and Du Fu, and openly emulates their styles, in both his works and life.
“ A home set in vanity fair turns out/ My shelter from carriage noises without/ You me how it can happen this way/ It proves remote when your mind is far away,” Tao thus wrote in his famous poem.
In “Recalling a Poem by Wang Wei (699/701-761 )，” Moya transplanted his hometown’s natural views verse by verse to where the Chinese poet put the sunset and birds over autumn mountains.
Such 21st-century Spanish versions of ancient Chinese pastoral poems helped win him a local poetry prize. It added to the many honors, some of them national, granted to him in a span of 34 years, during which he published more than 20 poetry anthologies and 10 storybooks and novels.
Moya started to imitate these ancient poems, thanks in large part to the efforts of Joaquin Chen, 79, who had translated those Chinese poems into Spanish. In fact, Moya regarded Chen as his ‘‘ tutor”. “ Mr. Chen led me into a new poetry wonderland,” he said. Moya is one of the many Spanish literary greats whom Chen’s work has converted to the beauty of ancient Chinese poetry. “I’m very grateful to the many people like Mr. Chen. I learned how to write from them,” said Moya. “The seed Mr. Chen sowed in me has grown into blossoms.”
“Poets of both countries care much about the miseries of human life, and express their thoughts in languages and melodies as beautiful as possible,” he said.
8. What does the underlined word “emulates” in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A. Imitates. B. Recites. C. Collects, D. Summarizes.
9 Why is Joaquin Chen mentioned
A. To tell he is a master of Chinese poets.
B. To emphasize his unique position in poetry.
C. To show he has a great influence on Moya.
D. To prove his importance in literature.
10. What do Moya’s words in the last paragraph imply
A. Spanish and Chinese poets use beautiful words.
B. Spanish and Chinese poetry have similar structure.
C. Spanish and Chinese poets learn from each other.
D. Spanish and Chinese poetry share an inner depth.
11. What’s a suitable title for the passage
A. The Spanish Admire Ancient Chinese Poetry
B. Ancient Chinese Poetry Inspires Spanish Poet
C. Spanish Poetry Comes from Chinese Poetry
D. Chinese Poetry Was Spread around the World
D
“Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back,” runs an old joke, “and he’ll be speechless.” This rests on a national stereotype: Italians are talkative and emotional, and all that arm-waggling supposedly goes to prove it.
Susan Goldin-Meadow of the University of Chicago has a rather different view. Emotions come out in lots of ways: facial expressions, posture, tone of voice and so on. But people are doing something different when they use gestures with speech, which she sums up in the title of her new book, “Thinking with Your Hands”. It is a masterly tour through a lifetime’s research.
Virtually everyone gestures, not just Italians. Experimental subjects, told after a research session that they were being watched for gestures, apologize for not having made any — but were doing so the entire time. People born blind gesture when they speak, including to each other. A woman born without arms but with “phantom limb syndrome (幻肢综合征)” describes how she uses her phantom arms when she talks — but not when she walks. All this suggests that cognition is, to some extent, “embodied”; thinking is not all done in your head.
In fact, gestures that accompany speech are a second channel of information. Subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but are told to lie and say it jumped. They do so in words — while their hands make a running motion. People who say they believe in sexual equality but gesture with their hands lower when talking about women are not indicating women’s height; they can be shown to have biases of which they may be unaware.
In “The Crown”, a historical drama series, Lady Diana is warned that her hands may betray her real emotions, which could be dangerous; they are tied together so she can learn to speak without gesticulating. No one who reads Susan’s book could ever again think that gesturing shows only a lack of control. It is about thinking and communication, and is a sophisticated aid to both.
12. Why does the author mention the old joke in Paragraph 1
A. To present an argument. B. To describe a scene.
C. To lead in the topic. D. To clarify a doubt.
13. Which statement will Susan Goldin-Meadow probably agree with
A. The disabled seldom use gestures. B. Gestures literally embody cognition.
C. Thinking only occurs inside the brain. D. Gestures are improper in communication.
14. What does the author try to prove in the last two paragraphs
A. Gestures may express what the speaker really thinks.
B. People are unaware of the meanings of their gestures.
C. Gesturing during speech shows only a lack of control.
D. Speakers can lie more easily with the help of gestures.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Speech: A Direct Channel of Information B. Gestures: A Vital Form of Communication
C. Italian’s Body Language: A National Stereotype D. Thinking with Your Hands: A Lifetime’s Research

Psychologists offer their best tips for working or making progress as planned, expected, or desired. Here is their guide to making and keeping your plans.
Don’t assume that your plan has to be ambitious. “What’s much more important than setting a grand goal, like running a marathon, is to set an immediate plan that you can start right away,” says Charles Duhigg, the author of The Power of Habit. “ ___16___ But many people fail to realize this.”
Whether you are making a new habit from scratch or changing an old habit, decide on the cue and the reward. “The cue could be a time, a place, or a feeling, while the reward must be instantaneous (即时的),” explains Wendy Wood, an expert from the University of Southern California. ___17___ The prize needs to be immediate, something that makes the behavior fun.
Make it easy. A recent study showed that people who travelled 8 km to the gym went once a month, but people who travelled 6 km went five or more times a month. That 2 km makes the difference between having a good exercise habit and not. ___18___ Thus, you’re more likely to achieve more.
Be less critical of yourself. According to an expert, the biggest barrier to new habits is self-criticism. ___19___ Research shows that you should be kind or supportive to yourself.
___20___ Gretchen Rubin, the author of Better Than Before, says it is crucial to avoid listening to the excuses that make your habits falter (动摇), for example, “I can’t go on a run tomorrow because I have to do another thing.” Recognizing them in advance can make them less powerful. That’s the thing about excuses when you realize you’re doing it, you’re much more likely to resist.
A. Spot your excuses.
B. People who do this tend to be rewarded.
C. Try to remove the barriers as best as you can.
D. Don’t buy a new pair of shoes at the end of the week.
E. It is related with less motivation and worse self-control.
F. That is how your habitual mind works and it has to be easy.
G. Start with baby steps like running half a mile every Monday morning

As I unzipped my lunchbox, the whole place was turned into a spicy curry (咖喱) dream. I immediately hid it under my seat, hoping no one would take notice.
Mom had really outdone herself with masala — our family’s all-time favorite dish back in India. But today, it wasn’t just about me and my lunch. A warm smile on his face, Ricky invited me, a new transfer student from India to New York city, for lunch.
“Ava come sit here!” Ricky called out, gesturing towards a vacant seat.
As I made my way over, memories of those awkward lunchtimes when I studied in Kansas, one of the most conservative states, flooded back. I could still recall how everyone would wrinkle their noses and stare curiously when I unpacked my Indian food. It always made me feel like an outsider, like I didn’t belong.
Therefore, before my first day in this school, I had demanded my mom pack “normal” western-style food for me. I still remembered the look on her face upon hearing it, as she signed in disappointment and confusion, “Isn’t there a moment when you feel proud of your origin ” That was hurting, but not more hurting than others’ giggles and whispers. Honestly, long queues were common in Indian restaurants in New York city, a cultural melting pot, but I wouldn’t take that risk.
Unfortunately, this morning, Mom had forgotten to make sandwich or any “normal” food, so I had to bring leftovers from our dinner. At the thought of the possible oh-no-second (社死), I felt like being thrown into darkness.
However, before I came back to reality, Ricky noticed my sneaking (躲躲藏藏). “What do you have for lunch ” he asked, his eyes twinkling with interest. I tried to brush it off (搪塞), claiming I wasn’t hungry. But Ricky wouldn’t let it go, and before I could protest, he had the lid of my lunchbox open and I prepared myself for such familiar responses as “Ew” or “What is that ”
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。
However, I did not get what I was expecting.

【答案】Dear Hawking:
I’m very glad to learn that a Chinese Culture Week activity will be held in your school. It’s a good opportunity for you to learn more about culture.
First a paper-cutting exhibition is a good choice. As a traditional Chinese art, paper-cutting includes different themes like plants, animals, stories and so on. Additionally, holding a Chinese calligraphy competition can also arouse people’s interest, which is very helpful in learning Chinese culture. What’s more, lectures about Chinese history, architecture, poems, or even food, are surely welcome. And a Chinese painting show is always attractive. I hope my suggestions will be of great help to you.
Yours,
Li Hua

【答案】However, I did not get what I was expecting. Ricky took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and savored the aroma of the masala. Instead of the usual stares and whispers, there was only interest on Ricky’s face. His face lit up with a broad smile, asking, “You mum made masala for your lunch ” Before I could make a response, he added: “I could be dying of envy! You know what, last Sunday, my parents and I queued up for three hours in harsh cold in fifth Avenue for the new India restaurant.” He enjoyed every bite, nodding his head in approval. It was a welcome change from the stares and whispers I had grown accustomed to.
After school, I found Mom preparing sandwich for tomorrow’s lunch. I came over and asked if I could have palak paneer in my lunchbox, which made her a bit confused. Finally, I told her about my experience with Ricky and how he had enjoyed my food. Mom’s face lit up with joy. “I’m glad he liked it,” she said. “And I’m even happier that you’re starting to feel proud of your roots again.” She paused and looked at me seriously. “Your culture, your traditions, and your food are all a part of who you are.” I nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. Mom’s words had given me the courage to embrace my identity and share my culture with others.
