（2022·河南·温县第一高级中学高一期末）A Thai town’s popular “monkey festival”
returned Sunday after a two-year break caused by the pandemic.
The fun event took place in Lopburi in central Thailand. There, thousands of monkeys ate
lots of fruits and vegetables. The animals could be seen climbing on people and colorful fruit
formations made of pineapples, bananas and even costly durians(榴莲).
“Today’s special is the durian, which is expensive. Lopburi monkeys like expensive things,”
said Yongyuth Kitwatananusont. She has organised over 30 monkey festivals.
The huge fresh meal cost over $3,000. It is a yearly tradition for locals in Lopburi to thank
the monkeys for doing their part in bringing tourists to the area, which is sometimes known as
“Monkey Province”. The event takes place on the last Sunday in November.
The theme for this year’s festival was wheelchair monkeys. Yongyuth, the event organiser,
planned to give 100 wheelchairs to people who have difficulty in walking.
Tourists have been slowly returning to Thailand after the government started a quarantine-
free(免隔离)travel plan for vaccinated(已接种疫苗的)visitors in November. The country saw
more than 100, 000 travelers in November. That is as many as the number of arrivals in the first 10
months of 2021.
The festival proved to be a popular event this year. Tourists were seen playing with monkeys
with their cameras. “I’m really happy to get to see this and now I’ m thinking about going to the
next festival, “ said Ayoub Boukhari, a visitor from Morocco. “It’s quite unexpected and the
monkeys are quite lovely.”
The return of the tradition also pleased locals. “It’s the first time in two years that monkeys
have got a chance to eat all kinds of fruits and vegetables,” said Lopburi local Thanida Phudjeeb.
“I’m happy for them.”

（2022·江苏省响水中学高一开学考试）An American man was thrown by a young cow
and seriously injured in a mock bullfight following the first day of the running of the bulls in
Spain’s San Fermin festival.
The man, a 31-year-old from New York, was thrown in the bullring by one of five young
cows freed after the run. He could not move his legs and was taken to the nearby hospital. Six
people were injured during the bull run itself, including two seriously: David MacDowell and
Ramon Garayoa.
“It was total emotion. It was absolutely crazy,” said Norman Rilling from Bakersfield, Calif.
The bull run began at 8 a.m. when six bulls, each weighing about 3/4 ton, stormed out of a corral
where they spent the night, then zoomed up packed Cuesta Santo Domingo street at the start of the
900-meter run.
Thousands of runners-armed with courage and a little too much to drink-packed Pamplona’s
narrow cobblestone (鹅卵石) streets, most wearing a traditional white shirt and pants, and
sporting red handkerchiefs.
The 31-year-old New Yorker was injured in what is known as a vaquilla, in which hundreds
of people chase five cows around the bullring, pulling their ears and tails.
The San Fermin festival dates back to the late 16th century. But the festival became famous
when it was immortalized (不朽的) in Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises. Since
record-keeping began in 1924, 13 people have been killed during the runs.
8．Where did the American man get injured?
A．In the nearby hospital. B．In a street.
C．In a farm. D．In the vaquilla.
9．What can we know about the San Fermin festival?
A．It was unknown to the public at first.
B．It was named after a famous novelist.
C．It has a history of less than 300 years.
D．It’s been very popular since the early 1920s.
10．What’s the purpose of those running with bulls?
A．To earn money. B．To pull bulls’ organs.
C．To drink a lot. D．To show their courage.
11．What would be the best title for the text?A．American Injured in the Bull Run B．The San Fermin Festival of Spain
C．An Interesting Sport—the Bull Run D．Many Injured in the San Fermin Festival

（2021·广东·化州市第一中学高一阶段练习）McDonalds, KFC, Burger King, Jack in the
Box... These fast food companies have something in common. Can you spot it?
Besides all being fast food chains, they’re all red. And it’s not a coincidence. Color is one of
the many strategies companies use to connect with customers. And if swearing (发誓) off fast food
wasn’t hard enough, those colorful red logos might make it even harder to ignore.
Fast food companies all use the color red heavily in their logos. Why? The answer goes back
thousands of years. The average human can see ten million colors, but red is special. It’s one of the
first colors our ancient ancestors thought important enough to name. In early human languages,
there were words for “black!” and “white” and “red” but not much else. In fact, blue didn’t show
up until thousands of years later in 200 A．D．
As a result, we have a deeper connection to red than any other color and we react to it in
certain ways that actually play to fast food companies’ advantage. For starters, researchers have
found that red can bring a sense of urgency into our minds. In addition to that, it also has a born
ability to whet our appetites (胃口). And when you pair those two together you’ve got the perfect
recipe to attract hungry customers who want fast food, so that red logo isn’t just a welcoming sign,
it’s an attraction to your brain.
In fact, red is one of the few colors today that cultures all over the world view positively. And
it’s no wonder companies dedicate (奉献) so much thought to their logos. After all, we’re a visual
creature. Despite having five senses, 80% of the information our brains process on a daily basis
comes from our eyes. Colors are what give brands that impressive stamp of recognition.
12．Why do fast food companies prefer the color red?
A．To highlight the importance of red in human history.
B．To help customers out in case of emergency.
C．To welcome and fascinate customers.
D．To make themselves special.
13．The underlined word “whet” in Para. 4 probably means “________”.
A．Lose B．affect C．increase D．exchange
14．What’s the author’s attitude toward “red”?
A．Positive. B．Uncertain. C．Doubtful. D．Negative.
15．What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Color Psychology: a Fun Study
B．Why Are So Many Fast Food Logos Red?
C．Food Culture: a Healthy Trend
D．Why Are Fast Food Companies So Popular?第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

（2022·黑龙江·哈九中高一阶段练习）Finding spare change or an extra dollar in your
pocket always feels like a victory. ____16____ Without thinking, you might hear the familiar
rhyme in your head when you spot one on the sidewalk: "Find a penny, pick it up. All day long
you'll have good luck. "
According to one theory, people originally thought pennies would bring good luck because of
religious beliefs. ____17____ This theory also fueled other superstitions（迷信行为）like
charm bracelets and metal horseshoes, which are also "lucky". Plus, metal currency like pennies
were linked to more wealth and thus more luck. That might be a straightforward explanation, but
other eleven strange origins of other everyday superstition sure aren't.
Another reason people might have claimed pennies would bring good luck comes down to
the battle between good and evil, which is like two sides of the coin. Finding a penny heads up
meant you'd have luck on your side, but tails up would mean the opposite, ____18____. Some
people say that if you find a penny tails up, you should turn it over to make it heads up so that it
can bring luck to whoever finds it next. ____19____. The Irish half-penny, which stopped
circulating in 1987, is especially lucky to anyone who finds one. Then there's also the old saying

B．although the exact reasoning for this is unknown
