（2024·河南·模拟预测）Here are several not-to-be-missed events. Mark your calendar!
Flowers on the Mimosa Route
The Mimosa Route covers 130 km of wilderness and coastal towns in France, with stops and festivals in
bloom to honour a flower that has become the symbol of the Cote d’Azur. This is the perfect opportunity to
discover gardens with their feet in the water or the flower floats (花车) of the corsos.
* From 3 to 18 February
Nice Carnival
Mimosa, roses, lilies thrown to the public... The Battle of the Flowers is a highlight of the Nice Carnival and
a nod to this France city’s gardening history. The biggest festival on the Cote d’Azur also includes a carnival-style
parade, with floats competing in creativity, with dizzying figures up to twenty metres high. The theme of the 2024
edition is “Pop Culture”.
* From 17 February to 3 March
The Menton Lemon Festival
The programme of the Lemon Festival in Menton, France includes various floats. For 15days, the town
celebrates its golden fruit with a touch of madness. With the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games just a few
months away, the 90th edition of the Lemon Festival promises to be a great event with the theme “From Olympia to
Menton”.
* From 17 February to 3 March
The Trail des Merveilles
The Roya Valley in France is the setting for the Trail des Merveilles, which starts in Breil-sur-Roya. Over a
distance of around 30 kilometres, with a positive difference in altitude of 2,000 metres, the race takes competitors
along wild paths with views of the snow-capped peaks of the Mercantour National Park and the Mediterranean Sea.

（2024·山西太原·一模）It felt as if we had been climbing for hours. I stopped to catch my breath as a wave
of dizziness swept over me in the thin mountain air. I was on an amazing trip with my family to experience the
festival of Qoyllur Riti, which takes place at 4,300 meters high in the southern Andes of Peru.
As I looked back down the trail we had climbed, and up towards where we had to go, the colorful sight struck
me a lot. Entire families wearing local costumes were travelling to this unique festival from all over Peru. Among
them were old men, mothers with small babies and children all following the same route. Many of them had horses
and donkeys carry their food, blankets, cooking pots and tents. Others had made their way on foot through the
mountains for days to attend this remarkable event.
We continued climbing upward for another hour and a half before reaching the Sinakara Valley. Right across this
flat piece of ground people were putting up shelters and tents to protect themselves from the freezing mist and rain.
It was clear, however, from the sound of the drums and singing rising from the campsite that the weather was not
going to weaken the festival spirit. The air of excitement, even from our place more than a mile away, was
palpable.
After dinner, we went to bed fully clothed inside our sleeping bags. We were up early the next morning, the
main day of the festival, despite having slept badly on the frozen ground. The ukukus, men wearing black masks
and costumes, had left the campsite in the early hours to climb the nearest mountain by the light of the full moon.
From time to time during the procession, they stopped to dance on the glaciers, believing this would bring luck
to their villages for the year to come. In the dawn light, we watched them winding their way back down like a large
black snake. As they descended, they were joined by groups of dancers in bright traditional costumes. They
performed wherever there was space. Although there did not seem to be anyone organizing them or any timetable,
the whole festival had become a huge harmonious celebration.4．What do we know about family’s climb up and down the trail?
A．They were too tired to enjoy the sight.
B．They regretted extremely taking the trip.
C．They were fascinated by the scenes there.
D．They were greeted warmly by local people.
5．The underlined word in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.

B．They were determined to reach the festival.
C．They only continued their journey during daylight hours.
D．They performed dances to demonstrate their traditional costumes.
7．Where is this text most likely from?

（2024·安徽安庆·二模）The Feast of the Seven Fishes is an Italian-American tradition that dates back to
an immigration (移民) wave in the 1900s. The Italian American tradition of the “Feast of the Seven Fishes” has
appeared in movies and recently in the hit show The Bear. But talking of the origin, you’ll get many different
answers. The Feast of the Seven Fishes is a dear tradition to many Italian Americans who enjoy at least seven
different seafood dishes on Christmas Eve.
A vast majority of Italian immigrants to the United States were from rural Southern Italy at the turn of the
19th century. They came to America because there were jobs from building railroads to skyscrapers. Friends and
families found success and brought their loved ones to the U.S. Some say fish was chosen for the Feast because it
was plentiful for impoverished families in Southern Italy. Others say the sea represented Italian Americans’
connection between their old and new homes.
Writer and director Robert Tinnell made a comic in 2004 about his experience with the Feast of the Seven
Fishes, which he later made into a 2019 movie. Growing up in North Central West Virginia, he fondly remembers
his great grandmother organizing the Feast. After she died, his grandfather and other men in the family took over.
That particular manly activity is something that the first Italian immigrants would have also performed out ofnecessity: men came to America first, without their wives and daughters.
However, knowledge about where to shop, when to prepare, how to cook, the history behind the meal and
family traditions soon became the responsibility of mothers to pass down to their daughters, says Di Giovine, a
professor at West Chester University of Pennsylvania. They are also likely the ones who have the final say in
making changes to recipes. Over time, families often adjust the menu to make things easier, cheaper, more
abundant, and more accommodating of dietary restrictions.
8．What do we know about the Feast of the Seven Fishes?
A．It relates to a story of Italians. B．It’s made up of seven fishes.
C．It marks a vital historic event. D．It’s about Americans in Italy.
9．What does the underlined word “impoverished” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Needy. B．Unfortunate. C．Extended. D．Uneducated.
10．What can we infer about Robert Tinnell from paragraph 3?
A．He loves fishes. B．He’s an editor.
C．He’s emotional. D．He teaches writing.
11．What can be the best title for the text?
A．A Fish-making Method B．A Festival Tradition
C．A Cookery Book D．A Special Celebration

（2024·安徽安庆·三模）When it comes to thriving under pressure, microbes (微生物) have us solidly beat.
New research reveals that Carno-bacterium, a genus often associated with spoiled meat, can successfully divide
and reproduce across an enormous range of external pressures — from the equivalent of a very thin atmosphere to
crushing ocean depths. This adaptability is unknown for any other life-forms on Earth, researchers report in
Astrobiology. Such hardiness suggests a single organism could survive in totally different environments throughout
the solar system.
Based on previous findings of various Carno-bacterium strains (菌群) growing well at high and low
pressures, University of Florida microbiologist Wayne Nicholson and his colleagues systematically examined 14
strains’ responses to a wide span of pressure conditions. The team focused on strains isolated not only from meat
(including seafood, chicken, etc.) but also from Siberian permafrost, an Antarctic lake and deep within the North
Pacific’s Aleutian Trench.
In the laboratory, Nicholson and his team exposed each strain to pressures ranging from 0.01 to 100 timesEarth’s atmospheric pressure at sea level―corresponding to the pressures on the surface of Mars and inside the
liquid water ocean of Jupiter’s moon Europa, respectively. The researchers found that 11 strains grew measurably at
every pressure tested. Very few past studies focused on how well microbes tolerate a range of pressures, Nicholson
says, but these results are nonetheless surprising given that most other organisms seem to be far more pressure-
sensitive. “Humans have trouble breathing on Mount Everest,” he notes, “and that’s about 30 percent of sea-level
atmospheric pressure.“
Other bacteria have been shown to do well at comparably high pressures, says Felipe Gómez Gómez, an
astrobiologist at the National Institute of Aerospace Technology in Madrid, who was not involved in the study. But
these results are novel because they show that the same Carno-bacterium strains can endure so much pressure
variation, he says: “What’s really challenging is the whole range.” These microbes’ ability means they could, for
instance, theoretically survive at various depths in an alien ocean, Gómez Gómez adds.“ This has far-reaching
astro-biological implications.”
12．How did Wayne Nicholson and his colleagues carry out their research?
A．Doing a survey. B．Listing examples.
C．Making a model. D．Doing tests.
13．What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A．The results were not surprising at all.
B．Researchers found that many strains could change during pressures.
C．Researchers hardly knew the organism’s toleration on pressure in old days.
D．The research showed why man can’t take a breath smoothly on Mount Everest.
14．What’s Felipe Gómez Gómez’s attitude towards the research?
A．Objective. B．Positive. C．Indifferent. D．Critical.
15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Bacteria Can Survive at Different Depths.
B．Microbes Withstand the Solar System’s Pressure.
C．All Life-forms’ Adaptations in Pressure Are Proved.
D．Carno-bacterium Strains Have Thrived at Great Pressures.

文。An Unforgettable Thanksgiving
We were living in Jakarta, Indonesia. However, our family of six had to experience a holiday without my wife,
Esther, who was in Singapore. This meant that I was in charge of our four children. It was a struggle, putting in
part-time at the union mission office, then coming home to manage the children.
Shortly after arriving in Indonesia, I made friends with some of the employees at the United States embassy,
where a number of United States marines (海军陆战队) were stationed, and I had great conversations with them. I
checked out films from the United States Information Service office on the embassy to show to our children and
neighbors.
With Thanksgiving week upon us I thought what we would do to celebrate. Many thoughts ran through my
mind. The film about the National Football League game of the week could be checked out for a few days.
The Sunday before Thanksgiving, the quiet of our house was disrupted by the sound of a jeep. We heard it
drive up and stop in our driveway. Before we could determine who had come to visit us, a big muscular man was
knocking at our door. It was Willie, one marine guard stationed at the United States Embassy. He held a big box in
his arms, leaving me instructions: “Pastor Jones, let’s have a real nice Thanksgiving dinner together, OK?” Then
out the door he went, “I’ll bring four other marine guards”. I immediately investigated the contents of the box: a
frozen turkey and a half-gallon container of Magnolia ice cream — Singapore’s best brand.
The next day I walked from our union mission office to our home. I came across one of my newly-made
friends, Tim. He was walking along, depressed and downhearted. I greeted him and asked, “What’s the matter,
Tim?”
“Pastor Jones,” he said, “this is our first Thanksgiving away from home, and my wife and I are in the dumps.
We went shopping for a turkey for Thanksgiving, and all we could find was a lot of skinny chickens. No turkeys
anywhere. Thanksgiving will be no perfect despite my wife’s excellent cooking skills.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
No turkey? First Thanksgiving away from home? I made a deal with Tim on the spot.
