Carnival is thought to come from the Roman festival, the Saturnalia, where participants had much drinking and dancing. Carnival in Spain is celebrated nationwide though the craziest festivities are in the Tenerife and Cadiz. While each town has its own unique way of celebration, they are both devoted to having a good time. In these main towns during Carnival it seems that no one sleeps as the drinking and dancing go on from dusk till dawn. You’ll see beautiful costumes and people in masks everywhere, and you’ll have a lot more fun joining in the masquerades than just watching.‎ The Carnival in the Tenerife is possibly the biggest party held in Europe and the one most like the famous Carnival of Rio. One of the most popular events of the Carnival in Tenerife is the choosing of the Queen of Carnival. Keep in mind that you need tickets for many of the competitions. But if you can’t get tickets you can still head to the open air parties. The celebrations take place in the whole city, and everyone is eager to have a good time.‎ Off the southern coast of Spain, you’ll find a different sort of Carnival in Cadiz. While it’s a match for the Carnival in Tenerife in terms of fun and partying, the Carnival in Cadiz is special for its music. The crowded streets are full of musical groups, mostly singing mocking songs. The people in Cadiz are known to have the best sense of humor in Spain, and the music of Carnival reflects this. The costumes have a focus on cleverness and wit.‎ If you can’t go to one of these wonderful parties, don’t worry. Spain has several other ‎ Carnivals that are worth your time. No matter where you are in Spain, you can reach out to touch the Carnival spirit and let it touch you in return.‎ ‎21. From Paragraph 1 we know that . ‎ A.

B.Enjoy the exhibit.‎ C.Work for the museum. D.Copy the rare jewelry.‎ ‎26.Why did the guard tell a lie to the woman?‎ A.To make an excuse to get close to her.‎ B.To find an opportunity to learn Italian.‎ C. To show that he is a police investigator D.To get her relaxed.‎ ‎27.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word "pilferer" in paragraph 3?‎ A dealer B.collector C.designer D.thief ‎28.What can be inferred from the text?‎ A.The woman fell in love with Max.‎ B.The woman suspected Max was a police before.‎ C.Max had already known the woman's identity before.‎ D.Max helped the woman slip into the museum personally.‎ C We each have a unique genetic (基因的，遗传的) make-up. Every cell of your body has the same set of about 100,000 separate genes made of DNA. These are the instructions for producing a person. Genes decide everything from the colour of your skin to the way your brain works. You have one of several billion combinations of DNA which come from the random mixing of your parents’ genes. Except for identical twins (同卵双胞胎), no one has the same combination as another person. You are unique! You are unique in another way too: in the way you are raised and all the experiences you have from before birth to adult life. These experiences influence you, your behaviour and attitudes, and the choices you make. But are genes or life experiences more important in shaping your appearance and personality? Scientists are studying twins to find out. One set of twins occurs every 70 births---some are ‎ identical and others are non-identical twins. Identical twins are special because they share exactly the same genes and often the same environment. Non-identical twins are more like ordinary brothers and sisters. Some identical twins have been adopted and brought up in different homes. With identical genes but a different home environment, scientists can study twins to see how much a particular feature depends on the genes we inherit. For example, we know that eye problems, like short-shortsightedness, are mostly genetic. But resistance to pain is largely dependent on experiences. Genes also influence our eating habits. Identical twins brought up apart often like to eat at the same time of day and feel full after eating the same amount. Non-identical twins in similar circumstances have more varied eating habits. Identical twins are also more likely to follow the same patterns for marriage and divorce than non-identical twins. Scientists are trying to identify the different genes that influence our behaviour. Some people are thrill-seekers and get into risk-taking and adventurous activities. They take up extreme sports like bungee jumping and possibly take drugs. Scientists have discovered a gene which affects this. We could ask, “Are our lives determined by our genes or our upbringing?” Scientists are learning more all the time, but it is certainly true that both are important in making us who we are. 29. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?‎ ‎   A. We cannot easily change our physical appearance.‎ ‎   B. How we turn out depends on our parents’ genes.‎ ‎   C. Everyone has a physical double somewhere in the world.‎ ‎   D. Both our genes and our experiences make us who we are.‎ ‎30. Why are scientists studying twins?‎ ‎   A. To find out how many twins are born every year.‎ ‎   B. To discover what shapes us as individuals.‎ ‎   C. To compare differences between twins.‎ ‎   D. To study brother-and-sister relationships.‎ ‎31. According to the passage, __________.‎ ‎   A. one in 70 twins are genetically identical ‎   B. non-identical twins are usually not of the same sex ‎   C. twins separated at birth behave exactly the same ‎   D. identical twins are genetically the same ‎32. Which of the following is most affected by experience according the passage?‎ ‎   A. Eating habits. B. Eye-sight. C. Pain resistance.  D. Marriage patterns.‎ D An international study of more than 13,000 adults found that many people say modern technology has affected relations with their partners.Almost 40 percent of those questioned said their partners paid more attention to their mobile devices than to them.‎ The research included both old and new relationships.Thirty-three percent of those asked reported that they had to compete against a mobile device for attention on a first date.‎ Apparently,we have as much love for our digital devices as for the people we love.The survey found that adults spend almost equal amounts of time online at home as they do interacting ‎ directly.And a lot of married couples, friends and family members argue about time spent on mobile devices.‎ Rules or time limits on a device might be good,in theory.However,the survey found that 45 percent of those questioned do not set rules.Another 45 percent said they got into arguments about how much they are on their phones when spending time with loved ones.The lack of social rules about digital behavior might be the result of the newness of the issue.‎ Past generations did not have the technologies.In this situation,our elders know nothing.In fact,the knowledge and ability is moving towards the youngest generation that's using the technology because they're the ones bounding forward fearlessly,and finding out what ways they can get in trouble.‎ That trouble may include the sharing of sensitive information.The research found nearly 30 percent of couples share passwords to social media sites.This could be a problem when relationships end.‎ The study advises that people step away from electronic devices to truly connect with other people.Understand the value of distancing yourself from your device and allow yourself to be engaged with that person that means the most to you.‎ ‎33.What did the study find about modern technology?‎ A.People depend too much on it. B.It breaks relations between partners.‎ C.Partners need it to develop relations. D.It has a bad effect on human relations.‎ ‎34.What's the problem with the digital device?‎ A.It takes up too much time. B.It is dangerous to play.‎ C.It causes tiredness in married couples. D.It takes away all love from loved ones.‎ ‎35.What can be the best title for the text?‎ A.We Can't Live Without a Cell Phone. B.For Love,Put Aside the Phone!‎ C.How Powerful Electronic Devices Are! D.Your Time Will Be Killed by the Phone.‎ ‎ 第二节：阅读短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。每小题只有一个最佳选项, 选项中有两项是多余选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ The Science of Risk-Seeking 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. ___36____ 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 at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-seekers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring, ___37___ 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 exist today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. ____38_____.‎ No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. _______39_____ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experience often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.‎ ‎_____40_____ For the risk seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of brain related to fear becomes active.‎ As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains or the waves of the shallow end of the pool. ‎ A. It all depends on your character.‎ 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.‎ E. This is when you start to move away from your family and into bigger world.‎ F. However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.‎ G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation. ‎ 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ The Erin Optimists club is offering two free self-esteem workshops to students and their parents in the month of November through the RISE Up organization. “It’s a ____41_____ issue, as we are hearing more about bullying issues in the media,” said club spokesman Jeff Andrews. “Our optimist motto is to be a ____42____ of the youth and the money we raise goes ____43____ into the youth of our community and more sport facilities for the young are to be bought.
