Food festivals are a common occurrence in the UK and take place in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times. Whatever your taste， there's a food festival to match—no matter how specialized.
Meatopia
This three－day， London－based festival takes place at the end of August and is a meat lover's paradise. In addition to a range of legally sourced meat products， from juicy burgers to tender steaks， attendees can listen to live music， watch butchery demonstrations， and attend informal meat－based workshops.
The National Honey Show
If you have a sweet tooth， then it could be that the National Honey Show， which started in 1921 and is the largest event of its kind， is the place for you to be. This three－day event attracts many local entries who showcase their sweet golden honey， some of which is sold globally.
The Orange Sauce Festival
Have you heard about a festival that is devoted only to orange sauce？ Held in Cumbria， this sweet， fragrant festival has been running for 3 years. What attracts people most is a competition to find the best homemade orange sauce. There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe， bringing their local snacks to share here.
The Ginger （姜） and Spice Festival
If you'd prefer something with a little more kick to it， then you could attend the Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton. Unlike other food festivals， it celebrates its town's historic connection to Robert Clive， who returned from India with ginger. Because of this， they specialize in baking gingerbread， but also sell a range of traditional spices from mild to hot.

People perform graceful moves， all while standing on a bamboo strip in the river. You may think it's a scene from an art movie， but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage： bamboo drifting （獨竹漂）.
Bamboo drifting dates back to over 2，000 years ago in the Chishui River area of Guizhou. During the Qin Dynasty， the Bozhou district of Zunyi city was known for its high－quality nanmu. It was in great demand by the royal court more than 2，000 kilometers to the north. With no transportation along the Chishui River， people had to stand on one log （原木） to drift down the river. Later， local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty， wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo's lower price.
Now， communities in Guizhou hold bamboo drifting competitions every year during the Dragon Boat Festival. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act， bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.
Yang Liu， 24， is an inheritor of bamboo drifting. Yang said the most difficult part of bamboo drifting was keeping one's balance. “I fell in the water several times when I was practicing，” she said.
“Usually， the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long， and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters. If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough， it will not be buoyant （有浮力的） enough to float. So we should fight against the water flow by continuously changing the angle，” Yang added.
But the love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 17 years， she has drifted all year round， in winter cold and summer heat.
Yang also produces new ideas when spreading the culture of bamboo drifting. For example， she connects dance with bamboo drifting to make it more graceful and wears hanfu when performing， creating a beautiful feel. In 2020， Yang registered on social media platforms and posted her videos. “I want to spread it to other countries so that more people around the world will like Chinese culture，” she told China Daily.
24.What's the main idea of Paragraph 2？
A.The use of bamboo drifting.
B.The birthplace of bamboo drifting.
C.The acting skills for bamboo drifting.
D.The historical development of bamboo drifting.
25.Why was bamboo drifting listed into the national intangible cultural heritage？
A.It spreads Chinese culture to the world.
B.It enjoys great popularity among Guizhou people.
C.It's physically and technically demanding for performers.
D.It's an important activity during the Dragon Boat Festival.
26.What is the most challenging for bamboo drifting？
A.Keeping one's balance.
B.Performing graceful moves.
C.Choosing bamboos of proper size.
D.Continuously changing the angle.
27.Which of the following best describes Yang Liu？
A.Responsible and brave.
B.Creative and determined.
C.Hard－working and outgoing.
D.Knowledgeable and competitive.

Two years ago， I went on a student exchange program to Auckland in New Zealand. I chose to go to New Zealand because firstly， it is a safe country and secondly， I wanted to go to a country that is culturally different from my own.
I started considering going on a student exchange program after making a backpack trip around the world when I was a freshman at Waseda University. I met so many people of different backgrounds during my trip. When I was travelling， I realized the importance of speaking English. I felt that if I knew English， I could communicate and make friends with a lot of people around the world. Then， I made up my mind to work hard after coming back from the trip.
When I was at Auckland University of Technology， I mainly took classes related to language pedagogy （教學法）. Unlike at Waseda University， many of the classes at Auckland University of Technology were held in small class size， usually a class size of 15 students to a teacher. In addition， rather than one way passive learning， students were required to actively raise their opinions and take part in group discussions in class. The classes were also practical in nature and required a lot of preparation.
Spending a year studying abroad has made me feel more confident in communicating in English. I was also able to meet people of different backgrounds thanks to the exchange paring to the past， I am now a better listener and also better at voicing my opinions. Studying abroad does not only improve my language skills， but also makes me grow as a person.
28.Why did the author choose to go to New Zealand？
A.To do his research program.
B.To experience its culture.
C.To volunteer in a safe country.
D.To start his trips around the world.
29.What did the author decide to do after traveling abroad？
A.Avoid people from different backgrounds.
B.Further his study during his trip.
C.Make more friends in his new university.
D.Make efforts to learn English well.
30.How do the classes at Auckland differ from those at Waseda？
A.They are smaller.
B.They have fewer discussions.
C.They are quieter.
D.They call for fewer efforts.
31.What can we say about the author from the last paragraph？
A.He wants to teach language skills.
B.He decides to study abroad again.
C.He feels thankful for the program.
D.He listens more than he speaks.

Around the world， many people come together on 31st December to celebrate the coming of the New Year， which is called Hogmanay in Scotland. The tradition of Hogmanay comes from Viking times and the celebration is more popular than Christmas in Scotland.
On Hogmanay's Eve， family members throughout Scotland will get together to “bring in the bells”. The phrase in Scotland refers to the ten second countdown to midnight when bells ring all over Scotland to signal the beginning of the New Year. The atmosphere can only be described as electric！ It is such an exciting event and all of the people are in a good mood as they wait to bring in the New Year bells！
Then most towns in Scotland have celebrations with fireworks in the evening， but in the bigger Scottish cities， other events take place.
The best－known event for Hogmanay is the annual Edinburgh Street Party. Every year， Edinburgh hosts a joyful firework show and other celebrating activities outside of the castle and it is broadcast on TV for those watching the celebration from their homes.
Another very popular event takes place in Stonehaven， where there is a “Fireball Ceremony” which takes place along the street. Around forty men and women come together and wave fireballs around their heads， which is wonderful to witness！ People line the streets hours beforehand to see the festival which begins immediately after midnight on December 31st.
On New Year's Day in Scotland， it is traditional to have a meal with the family. They always eat a steak pie with vegetables. Another tradition that has to be mentioned is the “First Footing” tradition. Also from the time of the Vikings， this is the tradition where the first person to enter the home after Hogmanay has to bring something Scottish with them， otherwise it brings bad luck for the coming year. People are usually very generous with their first footing gifts such as ginger wine， Scottish whisky and homemade shortbread.
32.What will the family members do right before the midnight of 31st December？
A.Have a big dinner party.
B.Ring the bells at home.
C.Count down the last ten seconds.
D.Set off fireworks outside.
33.What can we know about the Edinburgh Street Party？
A.It is a firework show.
B.It is a fireball ceremony.
C.It is a well－known gathering.
D.It is a popular TV show.
34.Which is the traditional thing for the Scottish New Year meal？
A.Steak pies with vegetables.
B.Homemade shortbread.
C.Ginger wine.
D.Scottish whisky.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text？

English family names or surnames as we know today weren't widely used until the Norman conquest （征服） of 1066. Before that time there weren't enough people to make it necessary to use anything other than a single name. 　36　， people began adding descriptions such as “John the Baker” to tell between people of the same name. These descriptive names eventually became associated with a family， passed down from one generation to the next.
Occupational （職業性的） Surnames. 　37　. Two common English surnames， Smith and Wright， are excellent examples of this. A name ending in “－man” usually suggests a trade name， as in Chapman （shopkeeper）.
Descriptive Surnames. Based on a unique quality or physical characteristic of the individual， descriptive surnames often developed from nicknames. Most refer to an individual's appearance， like size， color or physical shape， for example， Little or Armstrong. 　38　. Good child or Wise are good examples of this.
Geographical Surnames. These are names coming from the location of the land in which the first bearer and his family lived， and are generally the most common origin of English surnames. They were first introduced into England by the Normans， many of whom were known by the name of their personal lands. 　39　. County names in Great Britain， such as Kent and Devon， have been commonly adopted as surnames.
Other local surnames are from descriptive landscape features such as hills and woods which describe the land where the bearer lives. 　40　.
A.As the country's population grew
B.As a person entered under one surname
C.A rare name can tell you the family's origin
D.This is the origin of surnames such as Hill and Bush
E.They may also refer to an individual's personal character
F.Many English surnames developed from a person's job or trade
G.Thus， many English surnames developed from the name of an actual town or county

Growing up in the USA， I always wanted to experience another culture. The 　41　 came when I was 15. After a few months of planning and 　42　， I was ready to spend the second semester of my first high school year 　43　 an exchange student in Australia.
　44　 in Perth was one of the most exciting moments of my life. I realized then that there was no turning back. The family I would live with was waiting for me， and it would only be five days 　45　 the new school year. The school I attended was 　46　 my school back in the States. I was quite 　47　 at first， especially never having been to a new school—even in the US. Everything went without 　48　， though. The teachers were welcoming and the students were friendly.
The most 　49　 time was travelling with other exchange students around Australia during our semester break. The few weeks we 　50　 together were full of amazing activities.
At the end of our 　51　 in Australia， we had three weeks to share our stories and help each other deal with leaving. It was only 　52　 that our last day together was filled with tears. We packed our camp， 　53　 e－mail addresses and gathered together for a final good－bye.
Upon coming home， an open mind was again important. Resettling home took time and 　54　， but at last I made it. All the while， I was thoughtful to let my family and friends know how happy I was to be home and 　55　 I had missed them—though the experience is still unforgettable with me. So， if you have the opportunity to study abroad you most certainly should.

Mary frowned as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from New York， having bought a small restaurant， which was set to open in the next few days.
“Moving here was a stupid idea. I have lost all my friends in New York. What should I do now？” Mary grumbled （抱怨）， mostly to herself.
“What's that？” Her mother asked， opening a box and lifting out several pots. “Nothing，” Mary mumbled （嘟噥）. The girl had been complaining about the move， but her parents had made the decision and were then too busy to listen to her complaints.
The first few days at her new school hadn't been easy， either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn't know， and it seemed that the students hadn't even noticed her. Mary sighed and got back to wash dishes.
On the day of the grand opening， Mary's parents were busy the whole day， welcoming customers into the restaurant， which was brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Mary was in a good mood as she rushed around， seating guests， handing out menus， and pouring glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.
At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Mary's age. As she filled their glasses， Mary realized the twins were in her class. Mary ducked her head down. Her long hair covered her face， and she turned away from the table.
A few minutes later， Mary's mother found her in the kitchen. “Honey， what are you doing back here？ We need you out front with the customers.”

　　Good afternoon， class. I want to start my lecture today by telling you a little story. Once there was a young woman from Mexico named Consuela who came to New York to learn English. She got a job at a factory owned by a man from China. One day， as Consuela came to work， her Chinese boss handed her a red envelope. Consuela looked inside and saw 20 dollars. She became very upset and threw the envelope back at the boss. Her boss was shocked. Can you guess why？ Well， the boss gave her the red envelope with the money in it because it was the Chinese New Year. And on the Chinese New Year it is traditional to give money to young single people for good luck. However， from Consuela's point of view， here was an older man giving her money in an envelope. This meant a bad thing for her. Naturally she refused to take the money. Now， what does this story show us？ Every culture has its own rules for what is appropriate and what is not appropriate behavior， and serious misunderstandings can occur if we don't understand them. First， the way people greet each other in different cultures. Second， the way they use names and titles. Third， the way people eat. And finally， the way they exchange gifts. OK， now， I'd like to talk about them one by one.
18.What is the speaker doing？
A.Giving a lecture.
B.Studying foreign cultures.
C.Telling some stories.
答案：A
19.What does the story show us？
A.Many people suffer from culture shock.

Food festivals are a common occurrence in the UK and take place in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times. Whatever your taste， there's a food festival to match—no matter how specialized.
Meatopia
This three－day， London－based festival takes place at the end of August and is a meat lover's paradise. In addition to a range of legally sourced meat products， from juicy burgers to tender steaks， attendees can listen to live music， watch butchery demonstrations， and attend informal meat－based workshops.
The National Honey Show
If you have a sweet tooth， then it could be that the National Honey Show， which started in 1921 and is the largest event of its kind， is the place for you to be. This three－day event attracts many local entries who showcase their sweet golden honey， some of which is sold globally.
The Orange Sauce Festival
Have you heard about a festival that is devoted only to orange sauce？ Held in Cumbria， this sweet， fragrant festival has been running for 3 years. What attracts people most is a competition to find the best homemade orange sauce. There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe， bringing their local snacks to share here.
The Ginger （姜） and Spice Festival
If you'd prefer something with a little more kick to it， then you could attend the Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton. Unlike other food festivals， it celebrates its town's historic connection to Robert Clive， who returned from India with ginger. Because of this， they specialize in baking gingerbread， but also sell a range of traditional spices from mild to hot.

People perform graceful moves， all while standing on a bamboo strip in the river. You may think it's a scene from an art movie， but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage： bamboo drifting （獨竹漂）.
Bamboo drifting dates back to over 2，000 years ago in the Chishui River area of Guizhou. During the Qin Dynasty， the Bozhou district of Zunyi city was known for its high－quality nanmu. It was in great demand by the royal court more than 2，000 kilometers to the north. With no transportation along the Chishui River， people had to stand on one log （原木） to drift down the river. Later， local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty， wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo's lower price.
Now， communities in Guizhou hold bamboo drifting competitions every year during the Dragon Boat Festival. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act， bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.
Yang Liu， 24， is an inheritor of bamboo drifting. Yang said the most difficult part of bamboo drifting was keeping one's balance. “I fell in the water several times when I was practicing，” she said.
“Usually， the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long， and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters. If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough， it will not be buoyant （有浮力的） enough to float. So we should fight against the water flow by continuously changing the angle，” Yang added.
But the love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 17 years， she has drifted all year round， in winter cold and summer heat.
Yang also produces new ideas when spreading the culture of bamboo drifting. For example， she connects dance with bamboo drifting to make it more graceful and wears hanfu when performing， creating a beautiful feel. In 2020， Yang registered on social media platforms and posted her videos. “I want to spread it to other countries so that more people around the world will like Chinese culture，” she told China Daily.

Two years ago， I went on a student exchange program to Auckland in New Zealand. I chose to go to New Zealand because firstly， it is a safe country and secondly， I wanted to go to a country that is culturally different from my own.
I started considering going on a student exchange program after making a backpack trip around the world when I was a freshman at Waseda University. I met so many people of different backgrounds during my trip. When I was travelling， I realized the importance of speaking English. I felt that if I knew English， I could communicate and make friends with a lot of people around the world. Then， I made up my mind to work hard after coming back from the trip.
When I was at Auckland University of Technology， I mainly took classes related to language pedagogy （教學法）. Unlike at Waseda University， many of the classes at Auckland University of Technology were held in small class size， usually a class size of 15 students to a teacher. In addition， rather than one way passive learning， students were required to actively raise their opinions and take part in group discussions in class. The classes were also practical in nature and required a lot of preparation.
Spending a year studying abroad has made me feel more confident in communicating in English. I was also able to meet people of different backgrounds thanks to the exchange paring to the past， I am now a better listener and also better at voicing my opinions. Studying abroad does not only improve my language skills， but also makes me grow as a person.

Around the world， many people come together on 31st December to celebrate the coming of the New Year， which is called Hogmanay in Scotland. The tradition of Hogmanay comes from Viking times and the celebration is more popular than Christmas in Scotland.
On Hogmanay's Eve， family members throughout Scotland will get together to “bring in the bells”. The phrase in Scotland refers to the ten second countdown to midnight when bells ring all over Scotland to signal the beginning of the New Year. The atmosphere can only be described as electric！ It is such an exciting event and all of the people are in a good mood as they wait to bring in the New Year bells！
Then most towns in Scotland have celebrations with fireworks in the evening， but in the bigger Scottish cities， other events take place.
The best－known event for Hogmanay is the annual Edinburgh Street Party. Every year， Edinburgh hosts a joyful firework show and other celebrating activities outside of the castle and it is broadcast on TV for those watching the celebration from their homes.
Another very popular event takes place in Stonehaven， where there is a “Fireball Ceremony” which takes place along the street. Around forty men and women come together and wave fireballs around their heads， which is wonderful to witness！ People line the streets hours beforehand to see the festival which begins immediately after midnight on December 31st.
On New Year's Day in Scotland， it is traditional to have a meal with the family. They always eat a steak pie with vegetables. Another tradition that has to be mentioned is the “First Footing” tradition. Also from the time of the Vikings， this is the tradition where the first person to enter the home after Hogmanay has to bring something Scottish with them， otherwise it brings bad luck for the coming year. People are usually very generous with their first footing gifts such as ginger wine， Scottish whisky and homemade shortbread.

English family names or surnames as we know today weren't widely used until the Norman conquest （征服） of 1066. Before that time there weren't enough people to make it necessary to use anything other than a single name. 　36　， people began adding descriptions such as “John the Baker” to tell between people of the same name. These descriptive names eventually became associated with a family， passed down from one generation to the next.
Occupational （職業性的） Surnames. 　37　. Two common English surnames， Smith and Wright， are excellent examples of this. A name ending in “－man” usually suggests a trade name， as in Chapman （shopkeeper）.
Descriptive Surnames. Based on a unique quality or physical characteristic of the individual， descriptive surnames often developed from nicknames. Most refer to an individual's appearance， like size， color or physical shape， for example， Little or Armstrong. 　38　. Good child or Wise are good examples of this.
Geographical Surnames. These are names coming from the location of the land in which the first bearer and his family lived， and are generally the most common origin of English surnames. They were first introduced into England by the Normans， many of whom were known by the name of their personal lands. 　39　. County names in Great Britain， such as Kent and Devon， have been commonly adopted as surnames.
Other local surnames are from descriptive landscape features such as hills and woods which describe the land where the bearer lives. 　40　.
A.As the country's population grew
B.As a person entered under one surname
C.A rare name can tell you the family's origin
D.This is the origin of surnames such as Hill and Bush
E.They may also refer to an individual's personal character
F.Many English surnames developed from a person's job or trade
G.Thus， many English surnames developed from the name of an actual town or county

解析：根據下文“County names in Great Britain ... adopted as surnames.”可知，一些郡名已經成了姓氏。G項（因此，許多英文姓氏是根據一個實際的城鎮或郡的名字發展而來的）引出下文。故選G。
40.答案：D
解析：根據上文“Other local surnames are from ... where the bearer lives.”可知，有些景觀特征也成了姓氏。D項（這是Hill和Bush等姓氏的起源）承接上文，是上文所指的景觀特征的具體例子。故選D。

閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Mary frowned as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from New York， having bought a small restaurant， which was set to open in the next few days.
“Moving here was a stupid idea. I have lost all my friends in New York. What should I do now？” Mary grumbled （抱怨）， mostly to herself.
“What's that？” Her mother asked， opening a box and lifting out several pots. “Nothing，” Mary mumbled （嘟噥）. The girl had been complaining about the move， but her parents had made the decision and were then too busy to listen to her complaints.
The first few days at her new school hadn't been easy， either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn't know， and it seemed that the students hadn't even noticed her. Mary sighed and got back to wash dishes.
On the day of the grand opening， Mary's parents were busy the whole day， welcoming customers into the restaurant， which was brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Mary was in a good mood as she rushed around， seating guests， handing out menus， and pouring glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.
At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Mary's age. As she filled their glasses， Mary realized the twins were in her class. Mary ducked her head down. Her long hair covered her face， and she turned away from the table.
A few minutes later， Mary's mother found her in the kitchen. “Honey， what are you doing back here？ We need you out front with the customers.”
注意：
1.續寫詞數應為150個左右；
2.請按如下格式在相應位置作答。
“Mom， I don't want to be out there！”　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Mary put a handful of cookies into a small plate and left the kitchen.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
寫前導讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了Mary （瑪麗）跟隨父母搬家，失去了在紐約結交的所有朋友。她在新的學校沒有朋友，她感到很孤獨。父母餐廳開業那天，Mary在招待客人時遇到了同班的雙胞胎，她害羞地躲到了廚房里。媽媽會對她說些什么呢？她結識到新朋友了嗎？
[精彩范文]
“Mom， I don't want to be out there！” Mary frowned. Feeling Mary was in a bad mood， her mother asked her what was wrong in a soft voice. At that moment， Mary couldn't help pouring out her troubles， “Without a friend， I'm isolated here.” Realizing she had ignored Mary's feelings after the move， her mother held Mary in her arms， suggesting that she make new friends by taking action first. “Go and take them some cookies and say hello！” The instant Mary heard that， her eyes shone with a mixture of excitement and expectation.
Mary put a handful of cookies into a small plate and left the kitchen. Nervous as she was， she plucked up courage to approach the table where the twins sat， placing the cookies down carefully. She bravely looked at the girls directly in the eyes， “Thanks so much for coming to our restaurant！” It was not until the twins looked up that they recognized her. The twins gave her a big hug. They offered to hang out with her and introduce her around to the other guys at school. “That would be awesome！” Mary grinned.

　　Good afternoon， class. I want to start my lecture today by telling you a little story. Once there was a young woman from Mexico named Consuela who came to New York to learn English. She got a job at a factory owned by a man from China. One day， as Consuela came to work， her Chinese boss handed her a red envelope. Consuela looked inside and saw 20 dollars. She became very upset and threw the envelope back at the boss. Her boss was shocked. Can you guess why？
Well， the boss gave her the red envelope with the money in it because it was the Chinese New Year. And on the Chinese New Year it is traditional to give money to young single people for good luck. However， from Consuela's point of view， here was an older man giving her money in an envelope. This meant a bad thing for her. Naturally she refused to take the money.
Now， what does this story show us？ Every culture has its own rules for what is appropriate and what is not appropriate behavior， and serious misunderstandings can occur if we don't understand them. First， the way people greet each other in different cultures. Second， the way they use names and titles. Third， the way people eat. And finally， the way they exchange gifts. OK， now， I'd like to talk about them one by one.
18.What is the speaker doing？
A.Giving a lecture.
B.Studying foreign cultures.
C.Telling some stories.
19.What does the story show us？
A.Many people suffer from culture shock.
B.Different countries have different customs.
C.Do as the Romans do when in Rome.
20.What is the speaker going to talk about next？
A.The way people eat in different cultures.
B.The way people use their names in different cultures.
C.The way people greet each other in different cultures.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。

Food festivals are a common occurrence in the UK and take place in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times. Whatever your taste， there's a food festival to match—no matter how specialized.
Meatopia
This three-day， London-based festival takes place at the end of August and is a meat lover's paradise. In addition to a range of legally sourced meat products， from juicy burgers to tender steaks， attendees can listen to live music， watch butchery demonstrations， and attend informal meat-based workshops.
The National Honey Show
If you have a sweet tooth， then it could be that the National Honey Show， which started in 1921 and is the largest event of its kind， is the place for you to be. This three-day event attracts many local entries who showcase their sweet golden honey， some of which is sold globally.
The Orange Sauce Festival
Have you heard about a festival that is devoted only to orange sauce？ Held in Cumbria， this sweet， fragrant festival has been running for 3 years. What attracts people most is a competition to find the best homemade orange sauce. There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe， bringing their local snacks to share here.
The Ginger (姜) and Spice Festival
If you'd prefer something with a little more kick to it， then you could attend the Ginger and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton. Unlike other food festivals， it celebrates its town's historic connection to Robert Clive， who returned from India with ginger. Because of this， they specialize in baking gingerbread， but also sell a range of traditional spices from mild to hot.
篇章導讀：本文是一篇應用文。文章介紹了英國四個著名的美食節。
21.What do Meatopia and the National Honey Show have in common？
A.Both of them last for three days.

22.If you are interested in foreign food， which festival do you like best？
A.Meatopia.
B.The Ginger and Spice Festival.
C.The National Honey Show.
D.The Orange Sauce Festival.
解析：細節理解題。根據The Orange Sauce Festival部分中的“There are thousands of ... their local snacks to share here.”可知，因為有來自全球30多個不同國家的數千名參與者帶著他們的當地小吃在這里分享，所以如果對外國美食感興趣，你會最喜歡The Orange Sauce Festival這個節日。故選D。
23.What is special about the Ginger and Spice Festival？
A.It has something to do with a historic figure.
B.The ginger used in the festival is from India.
C.It sells spicy food.
D.The food is cooked by Robert Clive.

People perform graceful moves， all while standing on a bamboo strip in the river. You may think it's a scene from an art movie， but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage： bamboo drifting (獨竹漂).
Bamboo drifting dates back to over 2，000 years ago in the Chishui River area of Guizhou. During the Qin Dynasty， the Bozhou district of Zunyi city was known for its high－quality nanmu. It was in great demand by the royal court more than 2，000 kilometers to the north. With no transportation along the Chishui River， people had to stand on one log (原木) to drift down the river. Later， local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty， wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo's lower price.
Now， communities in Guizhou hold bamboo drifting competitions every year during the Dragon Boat Festival. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act， bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.
Yang Liu， 24， is an inheritor of bamboo drifting. Yang said the most difficult part of bamboo drifting was keeping one's balance. “I fell in the water several times when I was practicing，” she said.
“Usually， the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long， and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters. If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough， it will not be buoyant (有浮力的) enough to float. So we should fight against the water flow by continuously changing the angle，” Yang added.
But the love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 17 years， she has drifted all year round， in winter cold and summer heat.
Yang also produces new ideas when spreading the culture of bamboo drifting. For example， she connects dance with bamboo drifting to make it more graceful and wears hanfu when performing， creating a beautiful feel. In 2020， Yang registered on social media platforms and posted her videos. “I want to spread it to other countries so that more people around the world will like Chinese culture，” she told China Daily.
篇章導讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了國家非物質文化遺產獨竹漂的歷史及傳承。
24.What's the main idea of Paragraph 2？
A.The use of bamboo drifting.
B.The birthplace of bamboo drifting.
C.The acting skills for bamboo drifting.
D.The historical development of bamboo drifting.
解析：段落大意題。根據第二段中的“Bamboo drifting dates back ... area of Guizhou.” “During the Qin Dynasty ... its high quality nanmu.”和“In the Qing Dynasty ... bamboo's lower price.”可知，本段講述了獨竹漂從秦朝到清朝的演變史。故選D。
25.Why was bamboo drifting listed into the national intangible cultural heritage？
A.It spreads Chinese culture to the world.
B.It enjoys great popularity among Guizhou people.
C.It's physically and technically demanding for performers.
D.It's an important activity during the Dragon Boat Festival.
解析：細節理解題。根據第三段中的“Due to the great strength ... in the national intangible cultural heritage list.”可知，因為表演者需要巨大的力量和平衡感才能掌握這一動作，所以獨竹漂才被列入了國家非物質文化遺產名錄。故選C。
26.What is the most challenging for bamboo drifting？
A.Keeping one's balance.
B.Performing graceful moves.
C.Choosing bamboos of proper size.
D.Continuously changing the angle.
解析：細節理解題。根據第四段中的“Yang said ... was keeping one's balance.”可知，獨竹漂最具有挑戰性的部分是保持身體平衡。故選A。
27.Which of the following best describes Yang Liu？
A.Responsible and brave.
B.Creative and determined.
C.Hard－working and outgoing.
D.Knowledgeable and competitive.
解析：推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的“For example ... a beautiful feel.(例如，她將舞蹈與獨竹漂相結合，使其更加優雅，并在表演時穿著漢服，營造出一種美感。)”可推知，她具有創造性。根據倒數第二段中的“In the past 17 years ... in winter cold and summer heat.(在過去的17年里，無論寒冬還是酷暑，她整年都在練習獨竹漂。)”可推知，她非常堅定。故選B。

Two years ago， I went on a student exchange program to Auckland in New Zealand. I chose to go to New Zealand because firstly， it is a safe country and secondly， I wanted to go to a country that is culturally different from my own.
I started considering going on a student exchange program after making a backpack trip around the world when I was a freshman at Waseda University. I met so many people of different backgrounds during my trip. When I was travelling， I realized the importance of speaking English. I felt that if I knew English， I could communicate and make friends with a lot of people around the world. Then， I made up my mind to work hard after coming back from the trip.
When I was at Auckland University of Technology， I mainly took classes related to language pedagogy (教學法). Unlike at Waseda University， many of the classes at Auckland University of Technology were held in small class size， usually a class size of 15 students to a teacher. In addition， rather than one way passive learning， students were required to actively raise their opinions and take part in group discussions in class. The classes were also practical in nature and required a lot of preparation.
Spending a year studying abroad has made me feel more confident in communicating in English. I was also able to meet people of different backgrounds thanks to the exchange paring to the past， I am now a better listener and also better at voicing my opinions. Studying abroad does not only improve my language skills， but also makes me grow as a person.

30.How do the classes at Auckland differ from those at Waseda？
A.They are smaller.

Around the world， many people come together on 31st December to celebrate the coming of the New Year， which is called Hogmanay in Scotland. The tradition of Hogmanay comes from Viking times and the celebration is more popular than Christmas in Scotland.
On Hogmanay's Eve， family members throughout Scotland will get together to “bring in the bells”. The phrase in Scotland refers to the ten second countdown to midnight when bells ring all over Scotland to signal the beginning of the New Year. The atmosphere can only be described as electric！ It is such an exciting event and all of the people are in a good mood as they wait to bring in the New Year bells！
Then most towns in Scotland have celebrations with fireworks in the evening， but in the bigger Scottish cities， other events take place.
The best-known event for Hogmanay is the annual Edinburgh Street Party. Every year， Edinburgh hosts a joyful firework show and other celebrating activities outside of the castle and it is broadcast on TV for those watching the celebration from their homes.
Another very popular event takes place in Stonehaven， where there is a “Fireball Ceremony” which takes place along the street. Around forty men and women come together and wave fireballs around their heads， which is wonderful to witness！ People line the streets hours beforehand to see the festival which begins immediately after midnight on December 31st.
On New Year's Day in Scotland， it is traditional to have a meal with the family. They always eat a steak pie with vegetables. Another tradition that has to be mentioned is the “First Footing” tradition. Also from the time of the Vikings， this is the tradition where the first person to enter the home after Hogmanay has to bring something Scottish with them， otherwise it brings bad luck for the coming year. People are usually very generous with their first footing gifts such as ginger wine， Scottish whisky and homemade shortbread.

閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
English family names or surnames as we know today weren't widely used until the Norman conquest (征服) of 1066. Before that time there weren't enough people to make it necessary to use anything other than a single name. 　36　， people began adding descriptions such as “John the Baker” to tell between people of the same name. These descriptive names eventually became associated with a family， passed down from one generation to the next.
Occupational (職業性的) Surnames. 　37　. Two common English surnames， Smith and Wright， are excellent examples of this. A name ending in “-man” usually suggests a trade name， as in Chapman (shopkeeper).
Descriptive Surnames. Based on a unique quality or physical characteristic of the individual， descriptive surnames often developed from nicknames. Most refer to an individual's appearance， like size， color or physical shape， for example， Little or Armstrong. 　38　. Good child or Wise are good examples of this.
Geographical Surnames. These are names coming from the location of the land in which the first bearer and his family lived， and are generally the most common origin of English surnames. They were first introduced into England by the Normans， many of whom were known by the name of their personal lands. 　39　. County names in Great Britain， such as Kent and Devon， have been commonly adopted as surnames.
Other local surnames are from descriptive landscape features such as hills and woods which describe the land where the bearer lives. 　40　.
A.As the country's population grew
B.As a person entered under one surname
C.A rare name can tell you the family's origin
D.This is the origin of surnames such as Hill and Bush

篇章導讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了英國姓氏的由來。
36．答案：A
解析：根據上文“Before that time there weren't ... other than a single name.”可知，在諾曼征服之前，英國人口不多。再根據下文“people began adding ... people of the same name”可知，人們開始添加一些描述來區分同名的人。A項(隨著國家人口的增長)承上啟下。故選A。
37．答案：F
解析：根據上文“Occupational (職業性的) Surnames.(職業性的姓氏。)”可知，本段主要講述了姓氏和職業相關。F項(許多英語姓氏是由一個人的工作或行業發展而來的)承接上文。故選F。
38．答案：E
解析：根據下文“Good child or Wise are good examples of this.”可知，Good child或Wise描述的是一個人的性格。E項(它們也可以指一個人的性格)引出下文。故選E。
39．答案：G
解析：根據下文“County names in Great Britain ... adopted as surnames.”可知，一些郡名已經成了姓氏。G項(因此，許多英文姓氏是根據一個實際的城鎮或郡的名字發展而來的)引出下文。故選G。
40．答案：D
解析：根據上文“Other local surnames are from ... where the bearer lives.”可知，有些景觀特征也成了姓氏。D項(這是Hill和Bush等姓氏的起源)承接上文，是上文所指的景觀特征的具體例子。故選D。

At the end of our 　51　 in Australia， we had three weeks to share our stories and help each other deal with leaving. It was only 　52　 that our last day together was filled with tears. We packed our camp， 　53　 e-mail addresses and gathered together for a final good-bye.
Upon coming home， an open mind was again important. Resettling home took time and 　54　， but at last I made it. All the while， I was thoughtful to let my family and friends know how happy I was to be home and 　55　 I had missed them—though the experience is still unforgettable with me.

第二節(滿分25分)
閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
Mary frowned as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from New York， having bought a small restaurant， which was set to open in the next few days.
“Moving here was a stupid idea. I have lost all my friends in New York. What should I do now？” Mary grumbled (抱怨)， mostly to herself.
“What's that？” Her mother asked， opening a box and lifting out several pots. “Nothing，” Mary mumbled (嘟噥). The girl had been complaining about the move， but her parents had made the decision and were then too busy to listen to her complaints.
The first few days at her new school hadn't been easy， either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn't know， and it seemed that the students hadn't even noticed her. Mary sighed and got back to wash dishes.
On the day of the grand opening， Mary's parents were busy the whole day， welcoming customers into the restaurant， which was brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Mary was in a good mood as she rushed around， seating guests， handing out menus， and pouring glasses of water. This was a big day for her family.
At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Mary's age. As she filled their glasses， Mary realized the twins were in her class. Mary ducked her head down. Her long hair covered her face， and she turned away from the table.
A few minutes later， Mary's mother found her in the kitchen. “Honey， what are you doing back here？ We need you out front with the customers.”
注意：
1.續寫詞數應為150個左右；
2.請按如下格式在相應位置作答。
“Mom， I don't want to be out there！” ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
Mary put a handful of cookies into a small plate and left the kitchen. ﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍﹍
寫前導讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了Mary (瑪麗)跟隨父母搬家，失去了在紐約結交的所有朋友。她在新的學校沒有朋友，她感到很孤獨。父母餐廳開業那天，Mary在招待客人時遇到了同班的雙胞胎，她害羞地躲到了廚房里。媽媽會對她說些什么呢？她結識到新朋友了嗎？
[精彩范文]
“Mom， I don't want to be out there！” Mary frowned. Feeling Mary was in a bad mood， her mother asked her what was wrong in a soft voice. At that moment， Mary couldn't help pouring out her troubles， “Without a friend， I'm isolated here.” Realizing she had ignored Mary's feelings after the move， her mother held Mary in her arms， suggesting that she make new friends by taking action first. “Go and take them some cookies and say hello！” The instant Mary heard that， her eyes shone with a mixture of excitement and expectation.
Mary put a handful of cookies into a small plate and left the kitchen. Nervous as she was， she plucked up courage to approach the table where the twins sat， placing the cookies down carefully. She bravely looked at the girls directly in the eyes， “Thanks so much for coming to our restaurant！” It was not until the twins looked up that they recognized her. The twins gave her a big hug. They offered to hang out with her and introduce her around to the other guys at school. “That would be awesome！” Mary grinned.
