For the past four days, the streets of India have been brightly lit and full of festivities. Millions of people around the country have been celebrating the festival of Diwali.21*cnjy*com
Diwali has been celebrated in India for hundreds of years. It takes place each year in either October or November. Although the holiday lasts only one night, people continue to celebrate for several days.
People light oil lamps during the festival. In the tradition of the Hindu religion, the lamps are meant to celebrate the victory of light over darkness and good over evil (邪恶). The holiday also celebrates the start of a new year in the Hindu calendar. But Diwali is an important festival in many other Indian religions as well, including Sikhism and Jainism. In a country of more than 1.2 billion people and different religious beliefs, Diwali is a celebration that touches everyone.
Diwali means “rows of lamps” in Sanskrit, a language used in many Indian religions. During the festival, families and friends come together to light the oil lamps，which are called diyas. Then they put the lamps in rows outside their homes and temples.
As in other cultures’ winter holidays，sweets and gifts are also a big part of Diwali. Neighbors and friends share treats, called mithai, and exchange presents.
Employers often use the holiday to express appreciation for their workers. This year, a businessman even bought cars and houses for some of his employees!
The Diwali spirit can be felt outside India as well. Indians in countries around the world, including the U. S. and Canada，are also celebrating the holiday this week.
21.The underlined word “victory” in paragraph 3 means ________.
A. winning B. failure
C. losing D. award
22.The third paragraph is mainly about ________.
A. the differences between Indian religions
B. the introduction of Indian religions

A. for giving B. for progress
C. to enjoy success D. to make new friends

At the beginning of the century there was a big farm called Hollywood Ranch. It was near Los Angeles in California. A few years later Hollywood was one of the famous places of the world. From 1910s to the 1950s Hollywood was the film center of the world. Every family knew the names of its film stars Charlie Chaplin, Grete Garbo, Bergman and hundreds more.
The reason why people went to Hollywood to make films was the sun. At first people made films in New York on the east coast of the United States. But then they heard about Los Angeles where there are 350 days of sun every year. As they made all the films by sunlight, the west coast was a much better place to work.21*cnjy*com
Also near Hollywood you can find mountains and sea and desert. They did not have to travel far to make any kind o film.
When TV became popular in the 1960s, Hollywood started making films for television. Then in 1970s they discovered people still went to cinema to see big expensive films. After twenty years they are still making films in Hollywood and people watch them all over the world.
25.Hollywood used to be a .

C. parks D. market

27.Which statement is true?

Some people asked me how I could suggest the expenses of billions of dollars for a voyage to Mars, at a time when many children on this Earth are starving to death. I know that they do not expect an answer such as “ Oh, I did not know that there are children dying from hunger, but from now on I will stop any kind of space research until mankind has solved that problem! ”In fact, I have known of this long before.
But I firmly believe that by working for the space program we can make some contributions to the relief and eventual solution of such serious problems as poverty and hunger on the Earth. Two basic factors causing the poverty and hunger problems are the production of food and the distribution (分布) of food. In fact, large areas of land could be used far better if efficient methods of farming, fertilizer use, weather forecasting, field selection, planting, crop surveys, harvest planning and so on were applied. The best tool for the improvement of all these methods undoubtedly, is the artificial Earth satellite. Circling the globe at a high altitude, it can screen wide areas of land within a short time; it can observe and measure a large variety of factors indicating the status and condition of crops, soil, droughts, rainfall, snow cover, etc.
Besides, in the modern society, there is a continuing great need for new basic knowledge in the science if we wish to improve the conditions of human life on the Earth. We need more knowledge in physics and chemistry, in biology and physiology, and particularly in medicine to cope with all these problems which threaten man’s life: hunger, disease, overpopulation, pollution of water and the environment. In a way, the space age not only holds out a mirror in which we can see ourselves, it also provides us with the technologies.
28.The passage is mainly discussing about .
A. whether the children’s dying from hunger is the major problem
B. whether it is worth spending much money on the space research
C. whether the author’s suggestion has been taken into serious consideration
D. whether there is an effective way to avoid the global starvation
29.According to the author, what plays an important part in dealing with poverty and hunger?
A. Government support. B. Methods of farming.
C. Food supply. D. Modern technology.
30.The second paragraph is mainly developed by .
A. making comparison B. giving explanation
C. offering advice D. giving examples
31.From the last paragraph, we can infer that .
A. technologies can help to improve our living quality
B. more basic knowledge is required to be learned
C. we can live a more peaceful and happier life
D. there are different views on the space age
D
I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my passion stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓言) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I want to tell you today：Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house. Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(休闲); it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It’s so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It’s so easy to exist instead of to live. I learnt to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that，if I had my choice，it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination（目的地）. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that，in part，by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this：read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do，you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.
32.What can be inferred from the passage ?
A. the author is a success in personal life
B. the author didn’t try her best to work well
C. the author spent all her time caring for her children【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
D. the author likes traveling very much
33.How did the author form her view of life?
A. Through social experience.
B. By learning from her friends.
C. Through an unfortunate experience.
D. From her children and husband.
34.By the underlined sentence “It’s so easy to exist instead of to live.” in the fifth paragraph, the author really means that people tend to
A. make a living rather than live a real life
B. work rather than enjoy life
C. waste a lot in life
D. forget the most important lessons in life
35.What’s the author’s attitude toward work?
A. Do it well to serve others.
B. Earn enough money to make life better.
C. Try your best to get a higher position and a pay raise.www-2-1-cnjy-com
D. Don’t let it affect your real life.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Does this situation seem familiar(熟悉) to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently.36.
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible.37.
The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station. Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be upset by limited understanding.38.
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
·Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
·Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
·Do not translate everything into your native language.
·39.Don’t concentrate on details(细节) before you have understood the main ideas.
·Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I kept on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion(困惑).40.Firstly, translating creates a barrier(障碍) between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves continuously. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
A. And listening is a problem for most of the beginners!
B. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
C. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.
D. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.
E. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.
F. What should you do?
G. But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!
