Loy Krathong: Thailand's Beautiful Festival of Lights
Every year, on the night of the full moon in the 12th month of Thailand's lunar calendar, usually in
November, people across Thailand gather to celebrate Loy Krathong. As part of the festival, people release small
floats, krathongs, which are commonly covered in decorative banana leaves, flowers, candles, and so on. People
release these on water to wish for good luck.
Last year, the best place to enjoy Loy Krathong is Sukhothai, Thailand's first capital and a UNESCO World
Heritage Site. During the week-long celebration, locals and visitors could see parades, fireworks, and traditional
shows.
Getting in and Around Sukhothai
In the 13th century, Sukhothai was the center of the Kingdom of Siam, the former name for Thailand. Today,
it is known for its well-preserved historical parks. The parks are home to impressive Buddhist temples. The calm
and peaceful atmosphere of the city adds to its beauty. During Loy Krathong, Sukhothai's historical parks are lit
up, making its ancient architectures even more magical.
Celebrating Loy Krathong Creatively
Over time, people thought floating krathongs on water would bring them good luck, but in recent years it's
been impossible to ignore the environmental impact. “Releasing flower krathongs made out of banana plant stems
and leaves was never a problem until recently, when the population increased a lot. Of course it creates a mass of
krathongs and pollutes water,” says Tongthong Chandransu, a well-known historian. In response, many people are
now choosing creative ways to honor the tradition, such as making their krathong bases out natural materials.
Others just light a digital krathong online.
21. What is Sukhothai famous for nowadays according to the text
A. Its old name. B. Its firework shows.
C. Its busy city life. D. Its historical parks.
22. Why do some people light a digital krathong online to wish for good luck
A. To honor a historian. B. To demonstrate their creativity.
C. To avoid crowded people. D. To protect the environment.
23. What is the purpose of the text
A. To introduce a festival. B. To explore an old city.
C. To publicize some holiday activities. D. To recommend some tourist attractions.

Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, a foreign city, went through my mind over and over as I lay in the bed. At first, panic
hit me as I kept wondering why I had applied for a job in a country about which I knew nothing. I had battled the
same kind of panic when my wife and I decided to adopt a baby whose parents died in an accident. Adopting a
child and becoming a father scared me as much as moving to an unknown country. I knew there would be joy and
excitement as we began the adoption process, but I was caught off guard by the attack of the “what if”.
I was lost in thought. What if the child isn't anything like me It's natural for parents to look for their
reflection in their children. I was an English teacher and feared adopting a child who disliked reading and
exercising. But the more I thought about not being able to take pride in my son's genes(基 因 ), the more I
understood that distancing myself from my sense of self might lead to a healthier relationship.
Six years of teaching at grade school taught me that a child, whether biological or adopted, is an unknown
entity(实体) waiting to unfold. I saw non-athletic children whose fathers were professional athletes. Sometimes,
genes even eliminated any guarantee that children would look like their parents. I realized all children deserved to
be appreciated.
I had never made it to Bishkek before, but we did adopt a child whom I would fight for in the new city. And I
gladly welcomed this new fatherhood that had become my heart's true home. Today, however, I cheer just as
loudly as any other dad when my son scores a goal in soccer. He's my son even though he doesn't share my genes.
I have also written out how much joy and love he has brought to our lives. I've now been writing journals with
him for seven years.
24. What is the author's initial attitude to moving to Bishkek and adopting a child
A. Optimistic. B. Worried. C. Curious. D. Indifferent.
25. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about the author
A. His internal conflict. B. His teaching experiences.
C. His relationship with his child. D. His spirit of self-improvement.
26. What does the underlined word “eliminated” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Dominated. B. Confirmed. C. Removed. D. Exposed.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Home; A Shelter for Loved Ones
B. Fatherhood: A Journey of Acceptance
C. Genes: A Bond Keeping Family Together
D. A Foreign City: A Bug(hance to Adopt a Child

About 300 years ago, some travelers along the Upper and Middle Orinoco River first reported sightings of
mysterious rock engravings (版画), describing snakes and other patterns, along its shores. But as years passed,
these artworks were recorded only in oral traditions and locals’ word of mouth. The precise location and proof of
their existence remained absent. It wasn't until 2015 that a team of archaeologists first arrived in the region with
the goal of searching for clues of the artworks. After years of study, scientists found even more than they had
anticipated.
The team visited 157 sites that had rock art, 13 of which had engravings more than a dozen feet tall. A great
variety of figures are described, including insects, birds, humans and other animals. In all, 60 individual
engravings exceeded 30-foot dimensions, including a centipede(蜈蚣) and two figures. “Anything that size is
monumental in our view,” Philip Riris, the study's lead author, says. “That means they' re often visible from quite
far away, maybe 500 meters to a kilometer.”
But no creature was more common in the rock faces than snakes, of which the team found dozens.
Interestingly, the team found that all of the snakes faced the river and were engraved where its waterline would
have been two thousand years ago. The engravings would have been visible from higher ground, and certainly by
those in incoming boats, leading the team to assume that they were were used as territorial markers, boundaries,
and landmarks. The team unearthed pottery(陶器) from the ecosystem. It had similar markings to those in rock
and dates back about 2,000 years. The team estimates the engravings are about the same age and some 10,000
ancient rock engravings exist within a l,000 square-mile area along the river.
“The giant snake engravings studied in the paper are some of the largest single rock art images anywhere in
the world and mainly come from the heart of a lowland tropical environment,” Patrick Roberts, an archaeologist at
the Max Planck Institute says.
28. Why did the archaeologists go to the region in 2015
A. To map the river's waterline.
B. To study the local oral traditions,
C. To find evidence of the rock engravings.
D. To explore the biodiversity of the region.
29. How is paragraph 2 mainly developed
A. By drawing comparisons.
B. By quoting documents.
C. By making assumptions.
D. By listing data.
30. What could the snake engravings have mainly functioned as
A. Indication. B. Admiration. C. Decoration. D. Donation.
31. What does Patrick Roberts mention about the giant snake engravings
A. Their distribution.
B. Their components.
C. Their symbolic meanings.
D. Their impact on the environment.
D
For humans, aging is unavoidable. But axolotls(蝾 螈 ), those cute smiling animals of pop culture fame,
seemingly avoid this fate to a point.
In a phenomenon called “neoteny”, axolotls never outgrow their initial stage, looking like oversize babies as
adults. Not only do they look youthful, with feathery structures and distinctive characteristics, but these critically
endangered Mexican species also experience few physical declines and diseases, and they can regenerate their
limbs, tails, and even other organs over their 21-year lifespan. For that reason, human-bred axolotls, which are a
light pink in color, are common research subjects for biologists, who have long been fascinated by their ability to
fight aging.
Now, a new study reveals one more mystery about these curious creatures. Their bodies stop one of the key
mechanisms of aging—— the epigenetic clock(表 观 遗 传 时 钟 )—— when they’ re just four years old. An
epigenetic clock estimates an animal's age based on how life events, such as stress or diet, turns its genes on and
off. If an animal has experienced a lot of physical and mental pain, for instance, its epigenetic or biological age,
could be much older than its real age.
The findings could be one more step in the long quest to discover effective anti-aging treatments for humans,
such as reducing inflammation (炎症), according to the study published on bioRxiv, a website where studies are
posted without peer review. Chasing youth is a popular goal: The anti-aging market, valued at $40 billion, is
estimated to hit $60billion by 2032. What's more, understanding axolotl genetics could inspire medicines for
regenerating cells, muscles, or maybe even arms and legs.
“It is a great leap forward in aging and regeneration,” says James Godwin, an immunologist at the MDI
Biological Laboratory in Maine who was not involved in the new study. “If the mechanisms can be understood,
then many opportunities to improve human health could present themselves.”
The study team examined 180 axolotls from four weeks to 21 years of age. Hopefully, research on large
scales is in store for future dedicated scientists.
32. What is a feature of axolotls due to “neoteny”
A. They experience rapid aging.
B. They have a higher risk of disease.
C. They maintain a young appearance.
D. They undergo a few dramatic body changes.
33. Which factor of an animal can affect its epigenetic clock
A. Its size. B. Its color. C. Its habitat. D. Its suffering.
34. What does James Godwin think of the study
A. It is thorough. B. It is misunderstood.
C. It is one-sided. D. It is promising.
35. What field does the text mainly cover
A. Diet. B. Biology. C. Psychology. D. Finance.

What makes a good piece of creative writing
As the name suggests, creative writing is an imaginative process. It doesn't fit one set genre(体裁). 36 .
However, with that being said, there are a few general principles that you can follow to make your creative
writing as strong as it can be.
· 37 . All great stories begin with a target audience in mind, which can help tailor your writing and connect
with them. Therefore, any creative writer should begin their writing by plotting out exactly who they want to read
their work.
· Write what you know. 38 . Or you don't necessarily have to write about your life, but draw on knowledge
you have about different elements of our lives to give your story some authenticity and more credibility.
· Creativity is key. Creativity is one of the most important elements of creative writing. 39 .Of course, this
doesn't demand that you write a tale about a totally imaginary world, but simply use your creativity to think
outside the box and put a unique twist (转折) on things.
· Plot a loose story arc(弧线). Despite the loose bounds of creative writing, it is still advisable to plot a loose
story arc for any piece of literature you create. Story arcs are essential for giving your writing direction and
purpose, helping you to write the whole piece at a good pace. Follow your story arc, and your writing will have a
strong structure, pace and direction. 40 .
A. Know your audience
B. Talk to your readers in person
C. These will keep your readers more engaged
D. You can then probably win an award for writing
E. It's what sets your writing apart from other pieces of writing in the genre
F. Quite often, the best stories are those which you can connect to your own lives
G. Therefore, there will never be an umbrella definition to describe the perfect piece

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。
Until his second year of high school, Daniel felt ordinary. He wasn't a troublemaker, and he wasn't
impressive either. He followed the school rules, handed in homework on time, and kept to himself. His grades
were average.
He wasn't unhappy, and he wasn't proud. But he often felt tired, distracted, and unsure of where he was
heading. Every day felt the same, and weeks went by without progress.
One evening in early September, Daniel sat alone in his room and stared at his messy desk. Papers were
thrown everywhere; books were left open; and old notes were crumpled(弄皱的) in the corners. He suddenly felt
frustrated— not because of one bad thing, but because of many small things left undone. He picked up a notebook
and wrote one line: Tomorrow's goal— clean my desk..
The next day, he came home from school, put his bag down, and spent ten minutes organizing the desk.
When he finished, the once messy space looked bright and tidy. It was a small change, but it felt like a victory and
lit a spark in him.
The following day, he added a second goal: Finish all his homework before 9 pm. He kept his word. That
night, he went to bed earlier and felt more energetic the next morning.
From that day on, Daniel decided to set one small goal every day. Each goal was simple and achievable—
drink more water, review one chapter of history, arrive at school five minutes earlier, exchange a friendly greeting
with the librarian, and check his backpack for missing assignments. None of the goals were difficult on their own.
But as the days passed. he noticed small improvements. His notes were neater. His homework was more accurate.
He had more time after school to relax or read. His mornings felt less rushed.
By the end of the first month, he had made more progress than in the previous term. His teachers began to
notice it. One of them asked if he had started studying differently. Daniel simply replied, “I'm trying to do one
thing better each day.”
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150 个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As time went by, Daniel no longer limited his goals to academic tasks but gradually became more varied.
By the end of the term, Daniel's classmates, impressed by his progress, began asking for advice.
