Stargazing Festivals in 2023
As more areas grow brighter with light pollution, national parks across the country have become dark-sky
havens. Over the years, they are making a push to get certified as havens for sky-watching by the International
Dark Sky Association, and they even host events like stargazing festivals to get travelers excited about astronomy.
·Bryce Canyon National Park—June 14-17
Situated in southern Utah, Bryce Canyon earned its dark-sky title in 2019. The 35,835-acre park is an ideal
place to stay up late. This year, its annual astronomy festival includes guided stargazing sessions, lectures and
“star stories” presentations, family-friendly activities, and even a performance by strings musicians in the northern
Arizona-based Dark Sky Quartet.
·Shenandoah National Park—August 11-13
Conveniently located within a day’s drive from two-thirds of Americans, Shenandoah National Park’s night
sky festival is a low-lift way to dabble in astronomy. The nearly 200,000-acre park will host ranger talks, public
stargazing sessions, lectures, presentations, and activities for kids. Staffers are still working on this year’s full
schedule, but past events have covered topics ranging from space weather to nocturnal(夜间的) creatures.
·Great Basin National Park—September 14-16
Great Basin is one of the least crowded national parks, making it the perfect place to quietly appreciate the
mysteries of the cosmos. Its annual astronomy festival is scheduled for this fall and includes guest speakers,
constellation talks, observatory tours, and a photography workshop. During the festival’s unique “Art in the Dark”
program, participants will get to paint in low-light conditions and experiment with how their eyes perceive color.
·Joshua Tree National Park—October 13-14
Joshua Tree National Park, as the International Dark Sky Association notes, is the “nearest convenient place
to go stargazing under a relatively dark sky” for the18 million people who live in the Los Angeles area. It became
an official dark sky park in 2017, and each year, it hosts a night sky festival in the fall. As luck would have it, this
year’s dates overlap with an annular “ring of fire” solar eclipse. From Joshua Tree, the moon will appear to
obscure between 70 and 80 percent of the sun.
51．What is the purpose of Stargazing Festivals?A．To raise public interest in astronomy.
B．To call for action against light pollution.
C．To provide a platform to observe stars.
D．To collect money for more observatories.
52．Where should you go if you want to experience working in low-light conditions?
A．Bryce Canyon National Park. B．Shenandoah National Park.
C．Great Basin National Park. D．Joshua Tree National Park.
53．What might be a bonus to visitors to Joshua Tree National Park during the festivals?
A．An observatory tour. B．A photography workshop.
C．A stargazing tour. D．A solar eclipse.

Spooky (幽灵般的) season is finally upon us! But it looks a little different to how it did 100 years ago...
Halloween has been around for centuries, as a pagan (异教徒的) holiday in ancient Ireland during which
people celebrated and “communicated” with visiting spirits. Initially Halloween was all about mischief, which
may sound harmless, but used to have far more negative connotations. Before the 1930s, “trick-or-treating” was
associated with groups of young men going door to door to play tricks such as throwing cabbages at houses or
stealing garden gates.
Nowadays, trick-or-treaters tend to be children on the hunt for sweets. Going door to door for treats in
Ireland was accompanied by the phrase, “Help the Halloween party”. It was only in the 1980s that it became
standard to hear choruses of “trick or treat”, thanks to the classic 1982 film ET. As with many American cultural
imports, not everyone was pleased about this development--in fact in 2009, The Telegraph ran the headline,
“Halloween: Trick, Treat And A Total Travesty?”.
In the 20th century, typical treats included candy apples, jelly beans and candy corn. These days, you are
more likely to be met with Haribo Starmix and fun-sized Mars Bars (although if you are old enough to be reading
Reader’s Digest, you can probably expect to be turned away at the door should you attempt to go trick-or-treating
this year).
The most popular Halloween costumes have also changed in the last hundred years, shifting from cowboys
and witches to Marvel superheroes. This year, after a Halloween night spent braving horror films and turning
away children desperate for free sweets, you can at least sleep easy at night knowing that things have changed
since the 1920s--and you’ll probably wake up with your garden gate where you left it!
54．What can be learned from Paragraph 2?
A．In ancient Ireland it was a national tradition to celebrate Halloween.
试卷第10页，共2页B．At Halloween ancient people could possess the power of visiting spirits.
C．Generally a century ago the mischief at Halloween did no harm to others.
D．At Halloween the mischief once left some people disturbed and annoyed.
55．Why did the author mention the headline in The Telegraph?
A．To show the rapid development of the festival. B．To indicate the growing popularity of the phrase.
C．To prove existing dissatisfaction with Halloween. D．To discuss the proper behaviour at Halloween.
56．What tone does the author conclude the passage with?
A．Humorous. B．Critical. C．Aggressive. D．Serious.
57．What might be the title of the passage?
A．The Development of Halloween in America B．Halloween: An Unsuccessful Cultural Import
C．Fun But Harmless Mischief at Halloween D．Changes to Halloween in the Past Century
51．A 52．C 53．D
【导语】这是一篇应用文。作者列举了2023年四个国家公园的星空观测节活动。
51．细节理解题。根据第一段的“they even host events like stargazing festivals to get travelers excited about
astronomy (他们甚至举办观星节等活动，让旅行者对天文学感到兴奋)”可知观星节的目的是提高公众对天
文学的兴趣，故选A。
52．细节理解题。根据Great Basin National Park—September 14-16部分的“During the festival’s unique
“Art in the Dark” program, participants will get to paint in low-light conditions and experiment with how their
eyes perceive color (在艺术节独特的“黑暗中的艺术”项目中，参与者将在弱光条件下绘画，并实验他们
的眼睛如何感知颜色)”可知如果你想体验在弱光条件下的工作，你应该去大盆地国家公园，故选C。
53．推理判断题。根据Joshua Tree National Park—October 13-14部分的“As luck would have it, this year’s
dates overlap with an annular “ring of fire” solar eclipse (幸运的是，今年的日期与环形“火环”日食重叠)可
知在节日期间，日食可能是约书亚树国家公园游客的额外奖励，故选D。
54．D 55．C 56．A 57．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个世纪以来万圣节前夜习俗的变化,提到了节日用语和服
装等方面的变化。
54．推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Before the 1930s, ‘trick-or-treating’ was associated with groups of
young men going door to door to play tricks such as throwing cabbages at houses or stealing garden gates. (在20
世纪30年代之前，“不给糖就捣蛋”与一群年轻人挨家挨户地玩恶作剧有关，比如往房子里扔卷心菜或
偷花园的门。)”可知，万圣节前夜的一些恶作剧曾经是让人头痛和心烦的。故选D。
55．细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“As with many American cultural imports, not everyone was pleased
about this development--in fact in 2009, The Telegraph ran the headline, “Halloween: Trick, Treat And A TotalTravesty?”. (就像许多美国文化的舶来品一样，并不是每个人都对这种发展感到高兴——事实上，2009年，
《每日电讯报》的标题是“万圣节：恶作剧、款待和完全的嘲弄?”)”可知，一些人对这一有恶搞行为的节
日不满。故选C。
56．推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“This year, after a Halloween night spent braving horror films and
turning away children desperate for free sweets, you can at least sleep easy at night knowing that things have
changed since the 1920s--and you’ll probably wake up with your garden gate where you left it! (今年，在经历了
一个勇敢地看恐怖电影和拒绝孩子们渴望免费糖果的万圣节之夜之后，你至少可以在晚上睡得安稳，因
为你知道自20世纪20年代以来，事情已经发生了变化——你可能会醒来时发现你的花园大门还在你离开
的地方!)”可知，你能踏踏实实睡一觉，第二天一早醒来时，花园的门没被摘走。从而推断作者是以幽默
的口吻结束本文的。故选A。
57．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Spooky (幽灵般的) season is finally upon us! But it looks a little different to
how it did 100 years ago...(幽灵般的的季节终于来了!但它看起来和100年前有点不同……)”及全文可知，
文章主要介绍了一个世纪以来万圣节前夜习俗的变化，提到了节日用语和服装等方面的变化。故D项
“Changes to Halloween in the Past Century(过去一个世纪中万圣节的变化)”为最佳标题。故选D。

Jack’s grandmother’s birthday was around the corner and all the family members were busy preparing a bigparty for her. It would be a special birthday party, because Grandma Sophie would turn 100 years old on the
birthday. The family was filled with atmosphere of mystery and kind of excitement. Everyone was busy doing
something secretly. Jack’s sister was knitting (编织) a woolen scarf for Grandma Sophie. She even brought the
threads and weaving sticks to school and knitted between the class intervals. Jack’s brother would play the guitar
of Grandma Sophie’s favorite song at the birthday party, so he practiced playing whenever he was free. And Jack’s
parents were decorating the house and doing shopping.
However, little Jack, the 8-year-old boy, sitting with his favorite toy dinosaur, looked unhappy. He wanted to
engage in the big event and to make his grandma happy, but he had no idea. He couldn’t knit as his sister did, nor
could he play any musical instrument as his brother did. A birthday card with beautiful pictures would be a good
choice. But he had no money to buy a card. What he possessed were lots of cards, which were from families and
relatives for his birthday or Christmas and New Year. So little Jack turned to his mother for help.
Jack’s cards came from his friends and relatives all over the country. There were funny cards and serious
cards. Some cards had beautiful pictures. Others had silly drawings. Jack saved them all. But his favorite card was
from his grandma.
“Why don’t you recycle some of your old birthday and Christmas cards?” Jack’s mother suggested. “What
does that mean?” asked Jack. “Recycle means’ to use again’，” said Jack’s mother. “You can create something
new from things that have already been used.” “Recycling is a good idea,” said Jack. “I know. I’ll cut out pictures
and poems from my old cards. Then I’ll make a big, new card to send to Grandma.”

68．Jack couldn’t wait to open the box containing cards he saved. He ran all the way to his bedroom to draw out
the box from under the bed. He poured out all the cards on the carpet and placed them one by one. However,
recycling was harder than what Jack had in mind. He frowned looking at the cards, but he was happy because he
was doing something as his siblings did for Grandma’s birthday. With scissors in hand, he engaged in his work.
When Grandma’s birthday arrived, Jack gave her a big birthday card as a gift. Grandma was surprised that
little Jack, who just turned 8, would be able to give her a birthday gift. When she opened the gift, happiness soon
took over her heart. She felt a stream of warmth passing through her heartstrings. It was a big birthday card, filled
with all kinds of pictures. Sentences from elsewhere were randomly reorganized into a long love poem. In the end
was little Jack’s own writing. He couldn’t spell many words, but he could spell “I love you”.
