1．The Sahara Festival is a celebration of the very recent past.The three-day event is not fixed to the same dates each year，but generally takes place in November or December.It is well attended by tourists，but even better attended by locals.
During the opening ceremonies，after the official greetings from the government leaders，people who attend the festival begin to march smartly before the viewing stands（看台），and white camels transport their riders across the sands.Horsemen from different nations display their beautiful clothes and their fine horsemanship.One following another，groups of musicians and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turn to show off their wonderful traditional culture.Groups of men in blue and yellow play horns and beat drums as they dance in different designs.On their knees in the sand，a group of women in long dark dresses dance with their hair：their long，dark，shiny hair is thrown back and forth in the wind to the rhythm of their dance.
The local and visiting Italian dogs are anxious to run after hares.The crowd is on its feet for the camel races.Camels and riders run far into the distance，and then return to the finish line in front of the cheering people.
Towards the evening，there comes the grand finale of the opening day，an extremely exciting horse race.All the riders run very fast on horseback.Some riders hang off the side of their saddles.Some even ride upside down—their legs and feet straight up in the air—all at full speed.Others rush down the course together，men arm in arm，on different horses.On and on they went.So fast and so wonderful!

2．If you are a fruit grower—or would like to become one—take advantage of Apple Day to see what's around.It's called Apple Day but in practice it's more like Apple Month.The day itself is on October 21，but since it has caught on，events now spread out over most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see，and often taste，a wide variety of apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets，it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence，such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.Although it doesn't taste of anything special，it's still worth a try，as is the knobbly（多疙瘩的） Cat's Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette，but you'll need a warm，sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it，so it's a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
At the events，you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions，and because these are family affairs，children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.
Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit，including stately gardens and commercial orchards （果园）.If you want to have a real orchard experience，try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale，near Faversham in Kent.
（1）What can people do at the apple events？
A．Attend experts' lectures.
B．Visit fruit-loving families.
C．Plant fruit trees in an orchard.
D．Taste many kinds of apples.
（2）What can we learn about Decio？
A．It is a new variety.
B．It has a strange look.
C．It is rarely seen now.
D．It has a special taste.
（3）What does the underlined phrase "a pipe dream" in Paragraph 3 mean？
A．A practical idea.
B．A vain hope.
C．A brilliant plan.
D．A selfish desire.
（4）What is the author's purpose in writing the text？
A．To show how to grow apples.
B．To introduce an apple festival.
C．To help people select apples.
D．To promote apple research.组卷：22引用：1难度：0.5 -
3．The old Chinese saying "as happy as spending the New Year" might be outdated （过时的） now in the busy modem world.The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together，like Christmas in the West.But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival，however，have weakened in practice.
Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival.People thought the sputtering（噼啪） sound could help drive away evil spirits.However，the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken security，noise and pollution factors into consideration.
"In recent years，some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks for limited hours during the Spring Festival，surrendering to public demand.Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion，" said Zhou Xing，a folklore researcher.
"As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods，the New Year holiday is just like any other.After long workdays，many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest，rather than visiting friends and neighbors.The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on New Year's Eve is the most important thing.However，many families would like to eat out to save time and energy，" said Li Shunzhi，a resident of Harbin，Heilongjiang.
"I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside.My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday，cleaning the house，buying holiday goods and decorating the house with paper cuttings.On New Year's Eve，the whole family stays up to see the New Year in，and in the days to follow，a series of activities such as lion dancing，dragon lantern dancing，lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held.Without the ancient traditions，the holiday is nothing to us，" said Zhang Hui，from Hebei.
（1）Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage？
A．Setting off fireworks has been forbidden in some big cities for years.
B．Nowadays，people can light fireworks in some cities during the Spring Festival.
C．People believe that the sound of fireworks can drive away evil spirits.
D．In the past，setting off fireworks couldn't be seen almost anywhere.
（2）What Li Shunzhi said implies.
A．what people do during the festival now is different from the past
B．people would like to have the family dinner on New Year's Eve
C．people prefer to visit friends and neighbors rather than take a rest
D．the New Year holiday is just like any other day
（3）What can we learn from the last paragraph？
A．Zhang Hui often spends two weeks preparing for the Spring Festival.
B．Zhang Hui is used to spending the Spring Festival with his family.
C．Zhang Hui always takes part in a series of activities after the Spring Festival.
D．Zhang Hui lives in the urban area.
（4）What does the whole passage mainly talk about？
A．The Spring Festival is as lively as before.
B．The Spring Festival is outdated now.
C．The Spring Festival is losing its qualities.
D．The Spring Festival in China is more important than Christmas in the West.组卷：13引用：1难度：0.5

9．I went up to the roof for a break after studying for an hour and watched the 50 or so people swimming in the natural rock pool below our house.It was a sunny day—a blue，cloudless sky over a calm sea.But then，as I looked in the distance，I discovered a series of three or four big waves heading towards the shore.I'd seen these mini-tsunamis（海啸） many times before.They were heading at speed in the direction of the pool.Most people knew to look out for them，but from the screams that started coming from the beach，I could tell someone was in trouble.
Without thinking，I ran down into the street，holding my bodyboard（俯伏冲浪板） on the way and shouted at a stranger to go inside my house and call the coastguard.My neighbour Moises had heard the screaming as well and was also outside with his bodyboard，so together we rushed to the steps that led down to the sea.
Once we got closer，we discovered the waves had pulled a boy and a girl from the pool and into the open sea.I knew that the nearest boat would take at least 30 minutes to reach us.Waiting for help wasn't a choice.I wasn't used to this sort of emergency —I'd never been trained as a lifeguard一but I didn't think twice about trying to save them.I suppose in a way I wanted to impress everyone；at 19，a deal like that can seem like a good opportunity to show off.
Moises and I dived into the water and it took us 10 minutes to get to them.When we finally ireached them.jye.ai were almost lifeless with only their heads coming in and out of the water.We could tell they were still alive from their small breaths but it was clear that they wouldn't have been able to stay there much longer.I held the boy and pulled him over my board.Moises moved the girl onto his board.We discussed pushing them back to the shore，but we were too far out.
