This year’s artists include Wild Beasts, Broken Social Scene and Japandroids.‎ Melt, Grafenhainichen, Germany July 14-16‎ Melt’s reputation as Europe’s biggest party festival has been assured for years.‎ Techno and house DJs provide lots of entertainment, fitting perfectly with the attractive setting in an industrial museum between Leipzig and Berlin.‎ Bigger names are included, too, such as the talented Warpaint and the sleepy beats of Bonobo.‎ Roskilde, Denmark June 24-July 1‎ One of Europe’s biggest festivals, Roskilde is centuries-long in music history.‎ Big acts like Foo Fighters and The Weekend provide the main draw.‎ It’s in the outer fields where things get interesting, with street art in Graffiti City and the Ghettoblaster for some hardcore party action.‎ Port Eliot, Cornwall, UK July 27-30‎ Set in the grounds of a beautiful stately home in St Germans, Cornwall, Port Eliot is unlike any other festivals. Festival goers can explore the rooms of the attractive house, go wild swimming in the river and take part in workshops on everything from cheese-making to food-searching. Or they can simply spend time listening to the best alternative music out there. This is a relaxing festival for modern life.‎ ‎21. In which country can people see Wild Beasts on June 2?‎ A. Spain. B. Germany. C. Denmark. D. The UK.‎ ‎22. Which festival has a history of over 100 years according to the text?‎ A. Primavera Sound. B. Melt. C. Roskilde. D. Port Eliot.‎ ‎23.

Its host city is located between the river and the sea.‎ B All too often, when the children are diagnosed with a disability or serious illness, their world is filled with appointments and disappointments. They might face lengthy hospital stays and painful treatments, not to mention missed opportunities to be a kid.‎ Madison Steiner—nicknamed “Peach”— is making a difference in these children’s lives by giving them the gift of recognizing their individuality that shines through their health conditions.‎ In 2011, she decided to put her caring on canvas(帆布)— but instead of turning to a traditional art medium, she started painting custom sneakers for children living with serious health conditions.‎ As her giving gained strength, Steiner founded a nonprofit organization, Peach’s Neet Feet, based in her home state of New Mexico. Today, with the help of dozens of artists across the US, Peach’s Neet Feet provides 50 pairs of shoes to children each month. Each pair is customized(定制) for a specific child’s interests and courageous fight. The organization coordinates (协调) donations with more than 20 hospitals and other nonprofit ones nationwide.‎ Since 2011, Peach’s Neet Feet has donated more than 3, 000 pairs of shoes and helped 4,000 families with other services, including care packages for children (with toys and art supplies), necessities for families facing lengthy hospital stays, “Peach Parties” and other events to raise funds and community awareness, and a support network for children and families.‎ In 2012, Steiner’s work was honored as the winner of the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation’s Extreme Kindness Challenge, which gave Peach’s Neet Feet the opportunity to work with Storytellers for Good to produce a video about the shoes’ impact. Steiner was a guest speaker at the Chopra Foundation Sages and Scientists Symposium 2013, and Peach’s Neet Feet received the Sheckler Foundation’s “Be The Change” award in May 2014. In September 2014, she spoke at the 5th annual TED&ABQ conference in Albuquerque, N.M.‎ ‎24. Which of the following words can best describe Peach according to the text?‎ A. Creative and helpful. B. Confident and straightforward.‎ C. Considerate and modest. D. Easy-going and productive.‎ ‎25.What is special about the shoes offered by Steiner?‎ A. They can cure the kids of the cancer.‎ B. They can be transformed into a toy.‎ C. They are rare and valuable for collectors.‎ D. They are made to suit special tastes and needs.‎ ‎26.What does Peach’s Neet Feet provide for the people besides the art shoes?‎ A. Help in the form of check. B. Medical care for patients.‎ C. Company in hospital. D. A support network for sick kids.‎ ‎27.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?‎ A. Steiner’s ambition. B. Steiner’s achievements.‎ C. Steiner’s passion to the charity. D. The activities held by “Peach Parties”.‎ C ‎“If you take care of the birds, you take care of most of the big environmental ‎ problems in the world.”‎ That’s what Thomas Lovejoy, a well-known biologist, says. He helped introduce the term “biological diversity” to the world. And he long ago predicted that by early in the 21st century, the Earth would start losing a surprising number of species—a prediction, unfortunately, that is turning out to be spot-on.‎ We were taken with what Lovejoy said about birds and decided to use it as a launch pad(跳板) for marking 2018 as the Year of the Bird by National Geographic. Hopefully, this will help raise people’s awareness of this problem. In this 12-month multiplatform exploration, we’ll examine how our changing environment is leading to great losses among bird species around the globe. And just as important, we’ll record what we can do about it.‎ At National Geographic we’ve been looking at the planet’s health from a bird’s-eye view for a long time. This magazine has featured birds on its cover more often than it has featured other popular creatures — at least 30 times, 13 times compared with apes. And the National Geographic Society has awarded hundreds of funds(资金) for the scientific study of birds.‎ In 2018, we’ll take our coverage of topics affecting birds to a new level. In this issue(期) we launch a year of storytelling with “Why Birds Matter”, an essay by best-selling author Jonathan Franzen. It’s paired with remarkable photographs of birds created by National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore.‎ Why is National Geographic focusing so much attention on birds? That’s just another way of asking, as Franzen does. Why do birds matter? Among his fluent answers: “They are our last, best connection to a natural world that is otherwise moving gradually away from us.”‎ ‎28. What does the underlined word “spot-on” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. Successful. B. True. C. Absurd. D. Uncertain.‎ ‎29. Why is the year 2018 called the Year of Birds?‎ A. To introduce a wide diversity of birds.‎ B. To show concern over birds’ disappearance.‎ C. To draw public attention to decreasing bird species.‎ D. To examine the environmental influences on birds.‎ ‎30. What can we know about National Geographic?‎ ‎ A. It focuses more on birds than other creatures.‎ ‎ B. It offers sums of money to research on birds.‎ ‎ C. It’s the last connection between man and nature.‎ ‎ D. It’s popular with famous biologists and authors.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. This Is Why Birds Are Key to Conservation ‎ B. Birds Play a Key Role in the Natural World ‎ C. Biologists Devote Themselves to Bird Protection ‎ D. It Is High Time to Take Care of the Big Problems D Water, or rather the lack of it, is one of the most pressing issues of our times. Given that agriculture is the largest single user of freshwater, providing farmers with new conservation techniques would go a long way. It turns out that a “miracle” power called Solid Rain has been helping farmers do exactly that for over a decade!‎ Farmers can simply mix the power in the soil, plant the crops as he or she normally would, and add water. Solid Rain absorb the liquid and keep it under the plant, creating an underground water “lake” for the plant’s roots to draw upon as needed. As a result, farmers do not have to water crops as often.‎ A season-long study showed that farmers using the power were able to increase their crop output by an average of 300 percent. Solid Rain also received the 2013 “Ecology and Environment Award” from Mexico’s Foundation.‎ So why isn’t Solid Rain a household name? First of all, though the product has been around for over a decade, the company did a poor job at marketing it and instead relied on farmers to help spread the word. Also, Solid Rain was not approved for sale in the United States until a few years ago. As a result, many US farmers have either not heard of it or haven’t yet felt the need for a water-saving product.‎ The reason for the slower than expected demand could also be due to the fact that not all experts are sold on the idea. They say that there is no scientific proof that Solid Rain stores water or that it remains in the ground for up to a decade.‎ The company says while Solid Rain began as a way to aid drought-stricken farmers, it can be used even when water is not a concern. Their new goal is to “save water for future generations, one drop at a time.”‎ ‎32. What can we infer about Solid Rain?‎ ‎ A. It can absorb and store water. B. It is similar to ice in appearance.‎ ‎ C. It should be placed on the soil. D. It can turn into water when needed.‎ ‎33. How did the company advertise Solid Rain?‎ ‎ A. Through TV advertisement. B. By doing experiments in public.‎ ‎ C. By giving away free Solid Rain. D. Through the user’s recommendation. ‎ ‎34. Why can’t Solid Rain be widely used in the USA?‎ ‎ A. Its production is so small.‎ ‎ B. The government still forbids its use now.‎ ‎ C. Some experts doubt its effect.‎ ‎ D. Farmers don’t believe its effect.‎ ‎35. What does the company plan to do next according to the text?‎ ‎ A. Use Solid Rain to change the climate.‎ ‎ B. Apply Solid Rain in daily life to save water.‎ ‎ C. Develop other products similar to Solid Rain.‎ ‎ D. Begin using Solid Rain to help drought-stricken farmers.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ The Struggles of the Highly Intelligent People Most people regard highly intelligent people as super humans.

In order to help you feel acknowledged and understand, here are some of your most common struggles. ‎ ● ‎ 37 .‎ It can be quite a challenge for you to be involved in small talk about ordinary things.
