【題目】
Everyone loves holidays and festivals. But do you know a holiday that is celebrated every month? Yes, it's the only holiday that takes place twelve times a year—Bonza Bottler Day.
Bonza Bottler Day is celebrated once a month when the number of the month is the same as the number of the day (Jun. 1, Feb. 2, March. 3). When the number of the year also matches the number of the day and month (August 8, 2008), there is reason to have a bigger celebration.
Elaine Fermont from America came up with the idea for Bonza Bottler Day on August, 1985. She created it when she realized that there were no special chances to celebrate one month. She decide to give herself a reason to have a party and some fun with this special day every month.
Mrs. Fremont held a competition to give the day a special name, which a student from Australia won. When Australians like something, they might shout,” Bonza!”. The word means super, great or fantastic. And “Bottler"is slang(俚語)for something excellent. So the holiday is known as Bonza Bottler Day.
Bonza Bottler Day has no tradition. You are free to do whatever you want. People in offices and hospitals bring food to share. Bonza Bottler Day is a favorite with many schools because it gives a break to students. The holiday can be Candy Day, Ice Cream Day, Be Kind to Classmates Day, No Homework Day, Picnic Day, and the list goes on.
Why not celebrate Bonza Bottler Day in your own ways and have fun?
【1】Which of the following dates is NOT a Bonza Bottler Day?
A.June 6, 2020B.July 6, 2020.
C.June 6, 2019.D.July 7, 2020.
【2】According to the article, who named Bonze Bottler Duy?
A.Elaine Fermont.B.The writer.
C.An Australian student.D.Not mentioned in the article.
【3】Which of the following statements(陳述) about Bonzu Bottler Day is TRUE?
A.It is celebrated when the numbers of the year, the month and the day are the same.
B.Mrs. Fermont created it because she wanted to give herself a reason to organize a competition.
C.The name of the festival had nothing to do with Australian culture.

【答案】
【1】B
【2】C
【3】D
【解析】
本文介紹了Bonza Bottler Day的由來及慶祝方式。
【1】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Bonza Bottler Day is celebrated once a month when the number of the month is the same as the number of the day (Jun. 1, Feb. 2, March. 3),可知月份和日期相同就是Bonza Bottler Day。結合所給選項,B選項的月份和日期不相同,所以不是Bonza Bottler Day,故選B。
【2】
細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Mrs. Fremont held a competition to give the day a special name, which a student from Australia won,可知,伊萊恩舉辦了一場為這個節(jié)日命名的比賽,一個澳大利亞的學生勝出,所以這個節(jié)日的名字是由這個澳大利亞學生命名的。故選C。
【3】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)Bonza Bottler Day is celebrated once a month when the number of the month is the same as the number of the day (Jun. 1, Feb. 2, March. 3). When the number of the year also matches the number of the day and month (August 8, 2008), there is reason to have a bigger celebration,可知,這個節(jié)日是用來慶祝每個月中月份和日期相同的那一天,當年份也和月份,日期相匹配時,會有一個更大的慶祝,所以A選項錯誤。根據(jù)She decide to give herself a reason to have a party and some fun with this special day every month,可知,弗里蒙特夫人創(chuàng)造了這個節(jié)日是為了給自己每個月開派對的理由,所以B選項錯誤。根據(jù)When Australians like something, they might shout,” Bonza!”. The word means super, great or fantastic,可知,澳大利亞人喜歡某個東西時,他們可能會喊“優(yōu)秀”,所以個詞跟澳大利亞的文化息息相關,故C選項錯誤。根據(jù)Bonza Bottler Day has no tradition. You are free to do whatever you want,可知,你可以用任何方式去慶祝這個節(jié)日,所以D選項正確。故選D。

【題目】
Alfred Wegener was a scientist in the early 1900s. He had a strange theory. His theory is that 250 million years ago there was one giant continent (洲). He called the giant continents as Pangaea. He thought Pangaea changed millions of years later. It started breaking up. The continent slowly drifted apart. They became continents we know today.
Wegener made many studies. He looked at world maps and thought that some continents were like puzzle pieces. They could fit together. He went to South America as well as Africa. He looked at mountains on both continents. They would match if the continents were pushed together. Wegener found similar fossils (化石), plants and animals on both continents.
Alfred Wegener called his theory “continental drift”. In 1912, he told other scientists about his theory. Most thought Wegener was crazy. They didn't believe huge pieces of land could move.
Later, other scientists did more studies. They discovered that continents are actually moving all the time. Scientists know that the surface of Earth is not one piece. They think it's broken into large pieces of hard rock called tectonic plates (地殼板塊). Scientists believe there are 30 tectonic plates on Earth and the continents lie on top of them.
Under Earth's surface is the mantle ( 地幔). The mantle is a layer ( 層) of rock about 2,900 km thick. The temperature rises to 3, 700C at the bottom of the mantle. The heat causes the mantle to become hot, molten (熔化的) rock which flows around.
The tectonic plates float like rafts on top of the hot, molten rock but they move very slowly-only about 4 inches (10 cm) each year. Since continents lie on top of the tectonic plates, they also float or move.
Today, scientists know the continents are still moving. Alfred Wegener's theory was proved correct.
【1】What does a theory in the first paragraph mean in this article?
A.An idea based on studies.B.An opinion based on a feeling.
C.A correct answer to a question.D.A wrong answer to a question.
【2】What was the name of Alfred Wegener's theory?
A.Pangaea.B.Continental drift.C.Tectonic plates.D.Continental plates.
【3】Where did Alfred Wegener find clues to prove his theory?
A.Only in Africa.B.All over the world.
C.Only in South America.D.In both Africa and South America.
【4】What did scientists in the early 1900s think about Wegener's theory?
A.They agreed with him.B.They thought it was crazy.
C.They copied his idea right away.D.They gave him praise for it.
【5】Why do scientists think continents can move?
A.The heat of the tectonic plates causes continents to move.
B.The movement of ocean water causes the continents to move.
C.Continents are huge pieces of land that can be pushed together.
D.Continents lie on top of tectonic plates that float on hot, molten rock.

Claude Monet’s paintings were quite different from the art styles that were popular in the 1870s France. Traditional artists always did their artwork in a studio and their paintings were realistic- they looked exactly like the real world. Claude Monet was part of a group of painters who were called Impressionists(印象派畫家). Their paintings were light and a bit fuzzy - they gave an impression of what the real world looked like. Sometimes Impressionists worked outside, which was a very unusual thought in their time. Impressionists received its name from an early painting by Claude Monet titled Impression, Sunrise.
Knowing that trains were interesting subjects and represented modern progress, Claude Monet created a series of Impressionist paintings of trains from January to March of 1877. He worked on his paintings right on the train platform (站臺)at the Gare Saint-Lazare, the train station on Saint Lazare Street. Although there were many train stations in Paris, this was the first train station built in Paris so it had historical significance(意義).
Monet’s friend, Impressionist painter Pierre Auguste Renoir, told the following story to his sons about Claude Monet and painting the trains. Monet needed permission (允許)to spend time on the train platform and paint what he saw in his impressionistic style. One day, Monet put on his very best suit along with a fine hat, a good shirt and a silk tie. He appeared to be a wealthy gentleman while he really was a poor painter.
The station master was impressed and gave Monet permission to paint on the train platform. The station master even kept trains from leaving on time so Monet could finish a scene even though passengers complained.
Was it worthy? Monet's train scenes turned his career into a success and for the station master, made his train station famous until even now.
Introduction | Claude Monet was one of the Impressionist painters whose paintings were not the same as the popular art styles in the 1870s France. Impressionist paintings gave an impression of 【1】 the real world looked. Impressionism was 【2】 after his painting Impression, Sunrise. |
