【題目】 The summer solstice, the longest day of the year, is celebrated by different cultures all over the world. For the last 40 years a farmer in England has arranged a special celebration on his farm.

Each June, thousands of people travel to a field six miles from Glastonbury, a small town in southwest England. The local population grows from about 10,000 to over 185,000, with many people arriving from abroad during the weekend. They’re taking part in the Glastonbury Festival, one of the biggest open-air festivals in the world.

If you go, you will have the chance to see famous performers and enjoy lots of different activities. There are over 15 stages where you can listen to nearly any music, including jazz, hip-hop, folk and Latin music.

▲ .There are many other kinds of performing arts. There is a comedy stage, a cinema tent and a poetry area.You can watch one of Shakespeare 's plays or have your face painted.You can take part in art activities or learn how to juggle. Children under 12 years old can get in for free. They can watch puppet shows or enjoy a picnic. If you want to celebrate the start of summer in a more traditional way, you can go to the stone circle on a hill above the festival and light a candle or lie down and look at the stars.

While the festival is great fun, it's not exactly a luxury weekend. It is difficult to travel to and from the festival site on country roads and you can sometimes get trapped in traffic jams for hours. In bad weather, the field can turn into a mud bath. But once you are there, it is an experience of a lifetime.

【解析】

文章介紹了世界各地慶祝夏至，一年中最長的白天的各種活動。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“The summer solstice, the longest day of the year, is celebrated by different cultures all over the world. 夏至是一年中最長的一天，是世界各地不同文化的節(jié)日�！�，可知人們用各種各樣的活動來慶祝夏至日，故選D。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“If you want to celebrate the start of summer in a more traditional way, you can go to the stone circle on a hill above the festival and light a candle or lie down and look at the stars. 如果你想用一種更傳統(tǒng)的方式慶祝夏天的開始，你可以去節(jié)日上方的小山上的石圈，點上蠟燭或躺下看星星�！�，可知比較傳統(tǒng)的慶祝方式是去山上看星星，故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的敘述可知，該段主要說的是通過音樂的方式慶祝夏至日，第四段說還有很多種類的藝術(shù)表演，所以本句應(yīng)該是一個過渡句，說明慶祝方式不僅僅是音樂，還應(yīng)該有其他的方式，故選A。

【4】主旨大意題。本段主要說這個節(jié)日雖然很有趣，但不是一個奢侈的周末，沿著鄉(xiāng)間小路從一個地點到另一個地點很難，有時候會堵車，天氣不好的時候可能會陷入泥水之中，因此本段主要說的是在假日遇到的問題，故選C。

【題目】 There are24 solar terms (節(jié)氣) in China, and the grain rain (谷雨) is one of them. It falls on April 20 this year.

This solar term is called the grain rain because it is known for “rain” that helps the grain grow. From its name, we can guess it means a time of more rain. So if you go out in the next two weeks, you may need to bring an umbrella with you.

But this is a great time for planting crops. If you miss the time for planting during the Grain Rain, you will feel sorry later. So maybe you can try to plant some flowers or vegetables in your garden. When the spring rain falls, farmers begin to grow crops (莊稼). Farmers often say" Spring rain is as precious (珍貴的) as oil.” It brings farmers hope for a good year ahead.

There are also many interesting customs during the Grain Rain. In the northern part of China, people like to eat Chinese toon (椿芽) mixed with eggs. The food made during the grain rain tastes wonderful and is good for your stomach. In the southern part of China, the tea leaves are picked during the time. They are called Grain Rain tea, which is famous for its freshness and sweet smell.

【1】What does grain Rain mean?

【2】How long does the Grain Rain last?

【3】When do farmers begin to grow crops?

【4】What’s the old saying about spring rain in this passage?

【5】How do you like Grain Rain tea?

【題目】 When you have good friends, the best way to get to know them better is to have a sleepover(睡衣派對). A sleepover usually includes having a party and sleeping next to your good friends all night.

In the UK, friends have sleepovers very often. Some have them once every weekend or just once every month. When you want to have a sleepover with your friends, your parents can call or text your friends’ parents to ask about a suitable date. Then, you have to arrange(安排) whose house you'll stay at — your own or your friends’ house. The last step is to finish your homework before you get together with your friends so you can enjoy your time together.

But there is one problem: What if the parents don't want so many children to be in the house all day? Well, parents can find somewhere to take the children. It could be a park, a swimming pool, a theater or just somewhere down the road.

There are many fun games you can play with your friends at a sleepover. You can have a water fight in the garden. You can play hide-and-seek in the house. While you play, you can enjoy popcorn and candy. If you don’t want to play games, you can just chat with your friends about whatever you want to share.

【題目】根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容簡要回答下列問題。

One day last week, three young friends were walking in a forest when they saw a hand poking(露出)through the bushes(灌木叢). Alison Bailey, along with her two friends Simon and Liam Stone, decided to find out who was there. They walked into the bushes and found a woman. It seemed that she had been lying there for more than a day.

Yesterday, the children were praised for saving Mrs. Hauton 's life. Doctors said Mrs. Hauton would have died if she had stayed another night outside. It is believed that Mrs. Hauton probably had a sudden illness and fell while out for a walk last Wednesday.

Alison said, “The lady could hear us and reached her hand out. But she was shaking. She kept repeating that she wanted to get up, but I said that she should stay there because she could have broken her back. I kept talking to her until the ambulance(救護車)arrived. I talked for at least half an hour!”

Simon and Liam added, “We were very scared at first, but we ran to call an ambulance. We're glad we helped. Or she might have died.”

The three children have been to the hospital to see Mrs. Hauton. Alison said, “We went to see the lady on the weekend. She still wasn't sure why she was in hospital and didn't remember us. She looked a lot better, though.”

A doctor said, “The children were very quickthinking. They did everything exactly as they should have done.”

【1】Where did the three children find Mrs.Hauton?

________________________________________________________________

【2】What's the probable reason why Mrs.Hauton fell?
