Food Festivals Around the World
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors’ petition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
Fiery Foods Festival — The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction-food that is not just spicy, but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper — officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing’s for sure—if you don’t like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn’t for you!
La Tomatina — The World’s Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts La Tomatina-the world’s largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week’s events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes — official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.
The battle lasts little more than half an hour in which time around 50, 000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again — and for a much-needed wash!

Each year people are crazy about different ceremonies. Many graduation ceremonies look special and different. But for Melody, it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond. They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and graduated together.
Pat took her first college class 42 years ago. After one semester, she dropped out to move to Chattanooga, where she spent the next several decades working as an accountant and raising a family. While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired. She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move to study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College. They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility.
Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTC’s 2020 class. The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity.
“We are so proud to have graduates like Melody and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven, UTC Chancellor. “Together, they personify the determination, commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate.”
Pat hopes that she can be an example to other non-traditional college students who want to get their degrees. “Learning never stops,” Pat said. “That’s something that my father taught me when I was young. No matter what you do, learning never stops.” Pat isn’t planning to stop anytime soon. She’s already working on another degree-a bachelor’s degree in history.
Meanwhile, her granddaughter, who is hunting jobs, is interested in getting a master’s degree in clinical psychology so she can become a lawyer. But she says she’s in no rush. Her nanna has taught her that she has plenty of time.
4. Why was Melody’s graduation ceremony so special
A. Because her grandmother graduated alongside her. B. Because her grandmother was 75 years old.
C. Because it looked quite different from others. D. Because she celebrated it with all her classmates.
5. What can we know about Pat’s family
A. They are anxious to be celebrities. B. They prefer attending non-traditional colleges.
C. They never stop creating opportunities. D. They support and encourage each other.
6. What does the underlined word “personify” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Repeat. B. Represent. C. Identify. D. Follow.
7. Which of the following can best describe Pat Ormond’s story
A. Love me, love my dog. B. Passion gives life power.
C. A good beginning is half done. D. It’s never too late to learn.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D

“Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday ” Lindsey whispers to Tori. With her eyes shining, Tori brags, “You bet I did，Sean told me two days ago. ”
Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedman. I can tell you that what they are saying is(a)not nice and(b)not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip(闲话). I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.
An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic—breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out–that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is，the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.
If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it The answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor(传言)can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group”. In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority(优越感).
The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.
8. Why is a conversation given at the beginning of the passage
A. To introduce a topic.
B. To present an argument.
C. To tell a story.
D. To clarify the writing purpose.
9. What important negative effect does gossip have
A. Breaking up relationships.
B. Embarrassing the listener.
C. Causing unpleasant experiences.
D. Spreading information around.
10. Why do many people like to gossip
A. It gives them a feeling of pleasure.
B. It helps them make more friends.
C. It makes them better at telling stories.
D It enables them to meet important people.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了传言的危害和人们为什么喜欢传闲话。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Many of our conversations are gossip(闲话). I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.( 我们的很多谈话都是闲话。我注意到闲话的三个影响:它可以伤害人，它可以给八卦者一种奇怪的满足感，它可以在一个群体中造成社会压力。)”可知，文章以对话的形式开始是为了引出本文的主题。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about.(闲话的一个重要负面影响是它会伤害被谈论的人。)”和“People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.(人们通常认为说闲话的人是无害的，但残酷的谎言会造成痛苦。)”可知，闲话的一个重要负面影响是引起不愉快的经历。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us.( 答案在于闲话的另一个作用：它给我们带来的满足感。)”可知，人们喜欢说闲话是因为它给人们带来满足感。故选A。

Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. ____12____ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work
The reason why any of us take any risks al all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. ____13____ As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren’t we all jumping out of airplanes then Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. ___14___
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. ____15____ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.
___16___ For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.

B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D. Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.

【16题详解】
根据下文For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.不同的人的大脑在处理快乐和恐惧时表现也会不一样。故前面应该是说大脑的不同反应。故G选项“新的大脑研究表明，当我们面对紧张的情况时，我们的大脑会以不同的方式工作” 承接下文。故选G。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。在目前新型冠状病毒疫情防控形势下，上海100家餐馆倡议在就餐时使用公筷公勺。公筷公勺最大的好处是能减少交叉污染，防止病从口入。
【32题详解】
考查名词。句意：上周，上海100家餐厅提倡使用餐具，因为这是控制和预防新冠肺炎的关键。定冠词the后接两个名词，设空处与名词control并列，作介词for的宾语，设空处应用名词prevention，为不可数名词。故填prevention。
【33题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：中国人经常一起吃饭，与他人分享他们的菜肴。句子的主语Chinese people，为复数，their后接名词复数，作share的宾语。故填dishes。
【34题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：新制度建议在人们一起用餐时增加单独的筷子和勺子。此处考查动词短语suggest doing，意为“建议做某事”，suggest后接动名词，作宾语。故填adding。
【35题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：这样一种礼仪上的改变可以让用餐者避免用自己的筷子从盘子里夹食物，因此大大减少了许多疾病传播的机会。此处考查动词短语allow sb. to do sth，意为“允许某人做某事”，此处为动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to avoid。
【36题详解】
考查副词。句意：这样一种礼仪上的改变可以让用餐者避免用自己的筷子从盘子里夹食物，因此大大减少了许多疾病传播的机会。副词修饰动词reduces，作状语。故填greatly。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意：在市文明社会办公室发布这一建议后，许多餐馆都采取了这一政策，该建议还鼓励公众在家共享食物时使用单独的餐具。设空处在after引导的时间状语从句中作谓语，主句为一般过去时，设空处的动作发生在主句动作adopted之前，设空处可用过去完成时或一般过去时，表示过去发生的事，故填had published/published。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在市文明社会办公室发布这一建议后，许多餐馆都采取了这一政策，该建议还鼓励公众在家共享食物时使用单独的餐具。分析句子结构可知，该空引导的是一个非限制性定语从句，从句缺少主语且先行词为suggestion，指物，故此处用关系代词which。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态及语态。句意：徐汇区一家餐厅的负责人屈奇表示，自2月21日开业以来，餐厅的桌子上就挂起了一个告示，告知人们使用餐具的重要性。根据时间状语从句since the start of business on February 21，句子用现在完成时；主语a sign，为单数名词，与单词put之间为被动关系，因此用被动语态，助动词用has。故填has been put。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：到目前为止，这项服务已被大多数市民接受。句子为被动语态，设空处应用介词by，表示动作的执行者，常译作“被，由”。故填by。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这将是一项长期措施。此处为泛指，应用不定冠词，空后单词为形容词long，以辅音音素开头，故填a。

Food Festivals Around the World
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors’ petition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
Fiery Foods Festival — The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction-food that is not just spicy, but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper — officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing’s for sure—if you don’t like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn’t for you!
La Tomatina — The World’s Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts La Tomatina-the world’s largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week’s events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes — official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.
The battle lasts little more than half an hour in which time around 50 000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again — and for a much-needed wash!
1. In the Stilton cheese rolling competition, competitors on each team must ______.

Each year people are crazy about different ceremonies. Many graduation ceremonies look special and different. But for Melody, it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond. They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and graduated together.
Pat took her first college class 42 years ago. After one semester, she dropped out to move to Chattanooga, where she spent the next several decades working as an accountant and raising a family. While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired. She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move to study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College. They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility.
Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTC’s 2020 class. The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity.
“We are so proud to have graduates like Melody and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven, UTC Chancellor. “Together, they personify the determination, commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate.”
Pat hopes that she can be an example to other non-traditional college students who want to get their degrees. “Learning never stops,” Pat said. “That’s something that my father taught me when I was young. No matter what you do, learning never stops.” Pat isn’t planning to stop anytime soon. She’s already working on another degree-a bachelor’s degree in history.
Meanwhile, her granddaughter, who is hunting jobs, is interested in getting a master’s degree in clinical psychology so she can become a lawyer. But she says she’s in no rush. Her nanna has taught her that she has plenty of time.
4. Why was Melody’s graduation ceremony so special
A. Because her grandmother graduated alongside her. B. Because her grandmother was 75 years old.
C. Because it looked quite different from others. D. Because she celebrated it with all her classmates.
5. What can we know about Pat’s family
A. They are anxious to be celebrities. B. They prefer attending non-traditional colleges.
C. They never stop creating opportunities. D. They support and encourage each other.
6. What does the underlined word “personify” in Paragraph 4 mean
A Repeat. B. Represent. C. Identify. D. Follow.
7. Which of the following can best describe Pat Ormond’s story
A. Love me, love my dog. B. Passion gives life power.
C. A good beginning is half done. D. It’s never too late to learn.
C
“Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday ” Lindsey whispers to Tori. With her eyes shining, Tori brags, “You bet I did，Sean told me two days ago. ”
Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedman. I can tell you that what they are saying is(a)not nice and(b)not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip(闲话). I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.
An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic—breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out–that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is，the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.
If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it The answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor(传言)can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group”. In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority(优越感).
The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.
8. Why is a conversation given at the beginning of the passage
A. To introduce a topic.
B. To present an argument.
C. To tell a story.
D. To clarify the writing purpose.
9 What important negative effect does gossip have
A. Breaking up relationships.
B. Embarrassing the listener.
C. Causing unpleasant experiences.
D. Spreading information around.
10. Why do many people like to gossip
A. It gives them a feeling of pleasure.
B. It helps them make more friends.
C. It makes them better at telling stories.
