【題目】Every year, about 600 monkeys are invited to eat fruits and vegetables during an annual feast(盛宴)in Thailand.__ 【1】_It is said that Rama once rewarded his friend Hanuman, the Monkey King, with some land. Organizers of the annual Monkey Buffet use more than 3000kg of fruits and vegetables to prepare for the feast.

This event is held in England. Though it might sound very gentle, it is actually very dangerous.Running down a very steep hill behind a 7pound wheel of cheese can be very dangerous. In fact, the police have attempted to ban the event, but participants have refused to carry out the ban. Men and their cheese wheels cannot be separated so easily.__ 【2】__ Simple：the cheese is set rolling down the hill, and the racers run down the hill after the cheese. However, as the cheese can reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour, it rarely happens that someone catches the cheese. __【3】_

In this festival, grown men jump over newborns, with their parents' permission.__ 【4】_ This custom has been observed since 1620; any onlookers who seem to be in need of “cleaning” also get involved in the event.

_【5】_ This Naked (裸) Festival is held in dozens of places throughout Japan every year, usually in summer or winter. Hidden somewhere in these men is one fully naked man, and touching him is believed to bring good luck.

A．So what happens during a cheese roll?

B．It is held in honor of Rama, the greatest of the Gods.

C．This event is ver interesting.

D．The first to reach the bottom wins the cheese.

E．There is a Japanese festival where participants wear little clothing.

F．Everybody takes an active part in it.

G．Wearing scary costumes, the Spanish men attempt to “clean” babies of evil (邪惡)．

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】D

【4】G

【5】E

【解析】

試題分析:本文介紹了泰國，英國和日本這三個(gè)國家存在的三個(gè)奇特的節(jié)日。

【1】B考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。前句講每年大約600只猴子都被邀請參加泰國的蔬菜和水果盛宴，后句提到據(jù)說Rama曾經(jīng)犒勞了他的猴王朋友Hanuman一些土地。由此可推測B項(xiàng)（這是為了紀(jì)念Rama，最偉大的神的）符合題意。

【2】A考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)下文“Simple：the cheese is set rolling down the hill, and the racers run down the hill after the cheese.”，判斷A選項(xiàng)（那么，在奶酪車下滑的過程中，會(huì)發(fā)生什么呢？）符合語境。

【3】D考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)上句： 幾乎沒人能抓住奶酪車，由此推測選項(xiàng)D（第一個(gè)到達(dá)底部的人將贏得奶酪）符合題意。

【4】G考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。 根據(jù)上下文：成年人從新生兒頭頂跳過：任何一個(gè)需要洗禮的人也可以參加這個(gè)活動(dòng)。故選G（穿著可怕的服裝，西班牙人想要對邪惡的嬰兒進(jìn)行洗禮）符合題意。

【5】E考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)后面這個(gè)赤裸節(jié)每年在日本幾十個(gè)地區(qū)舉行。故選E（日本有一個(gè)參加者幾乎不穿衣服的節(jié)日）符合題意。

【題目】閱讀下面短文,然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

Speaking of campus clubs, people usually think of conventional ones like roller-skating or music clubs. But now, society and club culture is seeing more diversity, with students interests covering a wide field.

Yu joined the club a month ago after he saw a big paper elephant on display at the society and club recruiting fair (招新大會(huì)). “It was made by the club chairman, who s my age,” says Yu. “His work aroused my interest in origami (折紙).” According to Yu, the club was formed by a group of students who love the art of origami. “Though I ve never tried origami before, I m impressed by their love of it and I want to learn it myself,” he says.

Other than treating societies and clubs as a way of entertainment, some students now use them to broaden their horizons, help their studies, and prepare for a future career. Some societies and clubs like this include extra tuition clubs, straight-A student clubs, and start-up business clubs.

Cui Ye, 19, is the co-founder of the straight-A student club at Beihang University. The economics major student wanted to improve her academic performance, so she set up the study club together with her friends. “The club has attracted dozens of students. We urge each other to study hard and practise self-study activities after class,” says Cui. “I think the club has made studying less boring and difficult.”

【題目】Growing strawberries in pots

·The best way to start growing strawberries is to buy pot-grown strawberry plants in spring：5 plants are plenty for a hanging basket and 10 for the average 13 inch-sized pot．

·Plant them immediately in soil-based compost（混合肥料） and they will produce a modest crop in their first year．The second year should see a bumper（特大的）crop，followed by a slightly lower yield（產(chǎn)量）the third summer．Then start again with fresh stock ．

·Careful watering and feeding are essential If you are to harvest a good crop，you must never let the compost dry out, particularly when the fruit is forming and ripening；if you do．most of your crop will drop off血e bush almost immediately．

·Water well then leave the pots for up to 3 weeks，until they reach the point of drying out be careful not to overwater them during the winter months．

Pruning apple trees

·A one-year-old tree is known as a “maiden”．It has a single stem when purchased．Immediately after planting, cut it back by about half to leave 4 good buds at the base of the stem．This will force growth from the base or the plant during the summer．

·In the second year ,prune in winter by cutting all side branches back by about one-third, Make sure each cut is made cleanly just above an outward-facing bud．In the third and fourth years, new side branches will have emerged from the previous year’s growth．Cut back all these new side branches by a third, pruning to an outward-facing bud．

·By the fifth year the tree should have a well-balanced shape．From then on ,cut back all new branches by one-third in winter．Remove any diseased wood and broken branches, and ensure the centre is open to air circulation

【1】The two pieces of advice probably appear in_________
