16、spending time with family to watching football, Thanksgiving is filled with traditions. But one of the most popularpulling the wishbonedates back centuries. The upside-down V-shaped bone is actually called the furcula(叉骨). It is a bone located between a turkeys neck and its breast. Furcula means “li
17、ttle fork” in Latin. All birds have a wishbone. At Thanksgiving, the tradition is for two people to hold one end of the bone, make a wish，and then tug(用力拉). The winner is the person who ends up with the bigger piece. If you believe the legend, the winners wish will come true. The practice of making
18、a wish on a birds furcula dates back to the ancient Etruscans, a people who lived in what is today northern Italy. They believed birds were powerful and divine (非凡的）creatures. After killing a chicken, an Etruscan would leave the wishbone in the sun to dry. Passersby would pick it up, stroke it for g
19、ood luck，and make a wish. That is how the furcula got the name “wishbone.”The Etruscans passed the ritual (仪式）along to the Romans. Soon，the practice of making a wish on a chickens furcula became popular in ancient Rome. According to legend，it was so widespread that there werent enough chickens or wi
20、shbones to go around. So the Romans began breaking the wishbone in two. Now, twice as many people could make wishes. Then the English picked up the tradition. In the 16th century, English settlers brought the practice to the New World. There, they found an abundance of wild turkeys. So they started
21、using a turkey furcula for their wishes. Today a wishbone tug-of-war is as much a part of Thanksgiving as is gobbling down turkey.24. What is the best title for the passage?A. Turkey Tug-of-War B.

In ancient Rome. D. In northern Italy.C The Enigma（谜）of Beauty The search for beauty spans centuries and continent
24、s. Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发) of long, white hair to make themselves attractive. Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their a
25、ppearance. There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive: beauty is power. Studies suggest that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as friendlier. But what exactly is beauty? Its difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we kno
26、w it when we see it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking a
27、t the attractive faces than the unattractive ones. The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men wit
28、h large shoulders and a narrow waist. According to scientists, the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traitsthe full lips, clear skin, strong shouldersequal health and genetic well-being. Not everyone thinks the same way, however. “Our hardwiredness can be changed by all sorts of expe
29、ctationsmostly cultural,” says C. Loring Brace, an anthropologist at the University of Michigan. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in another. Look at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thin. But is this “perfect” body type for women worldwide? Scienti
30、sts answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western cultures. For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe exactly wha
31、t makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single, uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder.28Peoples ideas about beau
32、ty _.A. have existed since ancient times B. can be easily describedC. have little influence on a persons success D. are based upon strict criteria29In Paragraph 3, the babies in the study _.A. were rated for their appearanceB. were entered in a beauty contestC. were shown photos of a group of colleg
33、e studentsD. were able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones30The underlined word “traits” in Paragraph 4 probably means _.A. qualities B. measurements C. judgments D. standards31We can learn from the passage that _.A. the ideas of beauty vary as people grow upB. the search for beauty is r
34、ooted in lack of confidenceC. the standards for beauty are based on scientific researchesD. the understanding of beauty depends on cultural backgrounds D “Folk singers are more like poets than singers,” Li Yahe, a music businessman, once told China Youth Daily. That saying perfectly describes Zhang
35、Lei, the 34-year-old champion of the fourth “Voice of China” singing competition, which ended on Oct 7. Critics thought Zhangs success as a victory for folk singers. The Voice of China used to attach great importance to singing skills and vocal techniques, which are not necessarily what folk singers
36、 are good at. “Folk songs are more about emotions and storytelling,” said Li. Folk is one of the oldest musical styles. It dates back to ancient times, when people sang about their everyday lives and the society around them. A powerful comeback Folk music became popular again in the Western world in
37、 the 1960s. During social revolutions, many young Westerners turned to the simple rhythms of folk. Pioneers included US singer Bob Dylan, whose songs are reflections of some social issues like the Vietnam War. Singers at that time used traditional folk instruments like the banjo, the upright bass, t
38、he mandolin and the piano. In the late 1970s, folk music was introduced to Taiwan. The rise of singers like Lo Tayu and Chyi Yu popularized folk music, particularly among young Chinese people. At that time, folk tunes were based on simple song structures, with pleasant chord progression and pretty l
39、yrics, just like during old times. But they focused more on the dreams and sorrow of youth than on politics. This continued to be the case when the folk “wave” swept Chinese mainland in the 1990s.Folk pioneers Sadly, it didnt last long in China. Folk gave way to pop in the late 1990s, when people st
40、arted living more fast-paced lives. But that didnt mean folk music had disappeared from the music world entirely. “The drop in the popularity of folk songs is because the business mode of the music industry is outdated, not because of the music itself,” folk singer Song Ke once said. He was right. R
41、ecent years have seen folk songs gaining popularity, with the appearance of singers like Li Jian and Song Dongye. “The popularity of the Internet has shocked the traditional profit model in music industry,” Lu Zhongqiang, manager of 13-Month, a music recording and publishing company, told Tencent En
42、tertainment. “Not-so-well-known music starts showing its strength when the production of mainstream music is declining,” he added.32Which would be the best title of the passage?A.

The Voice of China is very popular among young Chinese people.B. Folk music onc
44、e was a way to voice opinions about social issues.C. Folk songs are more about expressing emotions than storytelling.D. Outdated music mode is what leads to the decline of folk songs.35Which word can best describe the attitude of Lu Zhongqiang towards folk music?A. Objective B. Confident. C. Critica
