The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world and welcomes artists and performers
from all over the globe each August. Artists and performers take to stages at hundreds of venues (活动场地) all
over the city to present shows for every taste. Discover the key information you’ll need to plan a trip to the
Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Date
This year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe will take place from August 1st to 25th, 2025.
第 2页/共 11页Shows
Every show at the festival is listed on our website. Shows keep registering (登记) right before and even during
the festival, so it’s worth checking back throughout the summer to see what’s been added.
App
We work with Bloomberg Connects on a special guide to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The free app is
available to download and tells the festival’s story across more than seven decades in over 40 languages, sharing
the background to the festival’s lively street performer history and highlighting some of the famous faces who have
made their names here.
Tickets
All Fringe shows are e-ticketed — here’s how it works:
Once you book your tickets, you will receive a confirmation email containing a QR code (二维码) that the
staff will scan when you arrive to see your show. You can show the code on your device or print it off at home.
If you book more than one show in the same deal, you can use the same QR code for all bookings in that deal.
You can also find your QR codes in the “My tickets” area of your edfringe.com account and in the official
EdFringe app.
If you do not have a smartphone or require a physical ticket for accessibility reasons, our box office will be
happy to print one for you.

He Weijing, a young guide in a southern Chinese city, has noticed a big change recently: More foreign visitors
are flooding in. Fluent in three languages, she works as both a storyteller and cultural sharer, showing travelers
special local traditions — like special old gates that balance air flow and privacy, and fruit trees in family
第 3页/共 11页courtyards. She also takes kung fu lovers to nearby cities to experience martial arts culture and lion dances.
She isn’t alone in her experience. Recent data shows foreign entries to China have risen sharply, with many
arriving via simpler visas. Affordable flights and social media exposure have also made China more attractive, as
travelers no longer see it as a hard-to-reach place but want to discover its true face for themselves.
Other guides feel the same sense of purpose. Zhou Qi, who has traveled to 38 countries, sees guiding as a way
to correct misunderstandings. She leads visitors to secret places — old record shops, special-interest stores, and
quiet old narrow streets — and once calmly helped a guest who fell ill from heatstroke, winning deep trust across
borders.
Dinna, a former office worker, now runs personalized tours in an eastern Chinese city. She shows visitors
famous landmarks and shares black-and-white old photos to tell the story of the city’s rapid development from
farmland to a skyline of tall buildings. A favorite stop is a park where parents look for partners for their children,
causing interesting talks about family and daily life in China.
For these guides, their job is more than showing places. It’s about real cultural exchange — connecting
people through stories and shared understanding. As more foreigners visit China, these hard-working guides play a
key role in helping the world see the real, lively country.
4. What does He Weijing show foreign visitors?
A. Modern skyscrapers. B. Local traditions.
C. Office buildings. D. Foreign cultures.
5. Which is NOT a reason for foreigners to visit China?
A. Easier visas. B. Cheap flights.
C. Strict entry rules. D. Social media exposure.
6. How do the guides feel about their jobs?
A. Boring. B. Rewarding. C. Stressful. D. Challenging.
7. How does the text mainly develop?
A. By telling personal stories. B. By explaining scientific facts.
C. By listing numbers only. D. By comparing past and future.
C
In September, Shenzhen faced one of the most powerful natural challenges in its history-Super Typhoon
Ragasa. With wind speeds reaching 200 kilometers per hour and accompanied by continuous heavy rain, it stood as
the strongest storm to hit the city in decades. However, through careful preparation and quick emergency response,
第 4页/共 11页the city showed its strong ability to recover while minimizing damage and keeping people safe.
The city’s weather service had been closely watching the storm’s path for several days before its arrival.
Authorities issued the highest-level red alerts a full 24 hours before the typhoon reached land, giving people
important preparation time. The city government put into action complete emergency measures, most notably the
“five suspensions” policy that temporarily stopped all work, education, business, market and public transportation
activities across the city.
The success of the response was mainly due to Shenzhen’s well-organized community safety network. More
than 20,000 community workers and volunteers carried out thorough door-to-door checks in risky neighborhoods.
Their well-planned efforts made possible the safe moving of about 300,000 residents from dangerous areas to
special emergency shelters. In one important case, emergency teams successfully moved 200 residents from old
living buildings just hours before the typhoon came.
During the typhoon’s worst period, the usually busy city changed into an unusually calm city scene. Public
places were empty, transport systems stopped working, and people stayed safely inside. Meanwhile, hard-working
emergency teams worked continuously through the storm, dealing with fallen trees, fixing broken power lines, and
handling local flooding.
The recovery after the typhoon moved forward with surprisingly good speed. Within 24 hours after the storm
passed, important public services had mostly returned to normal operation. This successful typhoon response
proved that facing nature’s powerful force requires both advanced city planning and shared social responsibility. As
one emergency management leader rightly said, “While we cannot stop typhoons, we can certainly build cities that
are fully ready to face them.”
8. What did the “five suspensions” policy mainly require people to do?
A. Move to other cities temporarily.
B. Stay indoors and stop all activities.
C. Prepare emergency supplies at home.
D. Help with the community rescue work.
9. What mainly made the resettling work so successful?
A. The weather forecast.
B. The community network
C. The help from neighborhoods.
D. The emergency team members.
第 5页/共 11页10. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To warn readers about the dangers of typhoons
B. To introduce the weather characteristics of Shenzhen.
C. To state the problem of lacking preparation for natural disasters.
D. To present a successful example of urban emergency management.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Formation of Super Typhoons
B. The Importance of Weather Forecasting
C. A Successful Battle Against Super Typhoon
D. A Touching Story of Fighting Against Typhoon
D
For over two thousand years, scientists and philosophers have been puzzled by a simple question: how can
plants, without eyes, grow toward light? While animals use eyes to detect the direction of light, plants seem to have
no such organ. So how do they do it?
Early Greek thinkers believed plants could sense and react to their environment — almost like animals. But
Aristotle later argued that plants were passive, unable to perceive or respond to the world around them. His view
influenced Western thought for centuries.
However, a team of European researchers has now uncovered the secret. They focused on Arabidopsis, a small
weed commonly used in plant genetics. Using advanced imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy, the
scientists measured how light passes through the plant’s stem. Their results, published in a recent study, showed
that the air channels between the plant’s cells scatter the light, bending it significantly as it travels through the
tissue. Once researcher noted, “It’s like the plant has thousands of tiny lenses.” This scattering creates subtle
differences in light intensity across the stem, allowing the plant to pinpoint the light’s direction accurately.
In other words, the plant doesn’t need eyes. Instead, it uses its entire body to sense light. This clever
mechanism lets seedlings “see” where the light is coming from and adjust their growth toward it.
The findings not only solve an ancient mystery but also challenge Aristotle’s idea that plants are passive. It
turns out that plants have evolved a sophisticated way to perceive their environment — without the need for
complex organs like eyes. They are far more active and adaptive than we once thought.
This research opens new questions for plant biologists. How are these air channels formed? How exactly do
plants process the light information? Understanding these mechanisms could help us learn more about how plants
第 6页/共 11页interact with the world — and perhaps even inspire new technologies in light sensing and robotics.
12. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By making a comparison. B. By presenting a puzzle.
C. By stating a phenomenon. D. By quoting a philosopher.
13. What is the key finding of the European researchers’ study?
A. Plant cells contain special proteins that respond to light.
B. Arabidopsis has a unique genetic structure for light sensing.
C. Light intensity varies significantly in different plant tissues.
D Plants use air channels as tiny lenses to detect light direction.
14. What is the significance of the research findings?
A. They explain the formation of air channels. B. They reveal plants’ passive growth pattern.
C. They challenge traditional views of plants. D. They confirm Aristotle’s theory about plants.
15. What might be the future impact of this research?
A. Faster plant growth. B. Better light sensors.
C. Stronger leaf formation. D. More robot production.

Mrs Henderson is an old lady in our neighborhood. She has lived alone since her son moved to another
country for work five years ago. Her small white house with a red door was never quiet for long — my friends and
I often visited her after school, and neighbors stopped by almost every day. We’d sit on her doorstep, listening to
her talk about how she grew tomatoes, carrots and sunflowers in her garden when she was young, or how her son
used to run after butterflies in the yard, laugh loudly and climb the old apple tree nearby.
She’d always share homemade candies from a glass jar with us, her hands a little shaky but her smile warm
and bright. Sometimes we helped her carry heavy groceries home from the store, and on weekends, we’d water her
potted flowers, sweep her doorstep, or clean her small living room together, chatting about our school life as we
第 10页/共 11页worked. Mrs Henderson loved chatting with us, and she’d often show us old photos of her family, pointing out her
son when he was our age and telling us funny stories about his childhood.
Kind Mrs Lopez brought her fresh cookies every Friday afternoon, and Mr Thompson, who lives next door,
helped cut her long grass every month. Even the little kids in the neighborhood would draw colorful pictures for her
and run to her house to hand them over excitedly. But for the past three days, no one had seen her go out — her
curtains stayed closed all day, her garden looked a little messy with weeds growing, and her usual spot on the
doorstep was empty. We all felt worried, wondering if she was sick or had trouble doing things on her own.

One afternoon, I brought fresh apples to Mrs Henderson’s and knocked — no answer.
