11、ill be offering up her time to the festival. “People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation,” Riedel said. “Its really easy to relax, and its great seeing family and friends have fun together.” These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes. Peopl
12、e who take pleasure in Blues are there, so are people who love Bluegrass. This festival does its best to develop everyones musical interests.With so many years of experience, the festival has become a well-oiled machine, and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible. The

When people buy food, reusable dishes are given a $2 plate fee, but that is returned when the plate is brought back.The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time. But with big names su
14、ch as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan, its easy to see how that was going to happen.

18、ar to the festival is highly recommendedD. bikes are available at the festival from Wednesday to SundayBShane Gero, a scientist at Aarhus University in Denmark, spent 6 years studying sperm whales(抹香鲸), which communicate through very loud clicks. He found that sperm whales in the Caribbean Sea had d
19、ifferent clicks from those in the Pacific Ocean. He even “translated” the clicks from a group of Caribbean sperm whales, believing them to say, “Im from the Caribbean, are you?”, reported National Geographic. As well as being used for communication, the clicks also allow whales to develop a relation
20、ship with one another, according to Gero.Apart from sperm whales, other animals like wolves and apes also have different regional accents. Researchers analyzed the howls of different species of wolves. They found that red wolves, Arctic wolves and other wolves have howls that vary in pitch(音调). In o
21、ther words, they have their own dialects.According to Darcy Kelley from Columbia University, most animals learn their accents naturally. For example, macaques(猕猴) start speaking their dialect as soon as they are born. Scientists placed some macaques in a new environment where their playmates all spo
22、ke a different dialect. But the macaques still spoke their own dialect. Their environment had no influence on their communication, according to the Washington Post.“In most species, communication appears to have a genetic basis,” Kelley explained in the Washington Post. “However, among a small numbe
23、r of species, animals can learn from others and develop their own accents.”Fruit flies are a good example. According to Science Daily, they send messages through their wing movements. Scientists found that fruit flies can only communicate efficiently with others of the same species. However, they ca
24、n learn new dialects by spending time around other species.“A proper accent is vital to mating and warning the coming of enemies, which is the basis of protecting themselves,” Kelley told the Washington Post. A species cant risk changing their own dialect and learning a new one.24. What does the aut

26、cts?A. Wolves are wild animals using language.B. Wolves live in different areas of the world.C. There are different kinds of wolves in the world.D. Wolves of different kinds howl at different pitches.26. According to Kelley, what can dialects help animals to do?A. Have a better chance of survival.B.
27、 Fight with other species for food.C. Communicate with other species better.D. Pass on information to the next generation.CRosie Dutton, a teacher from Relax Kids in Tamworth, UK, used two apples to show her students the often unseen but harmful effects of school bullying(欺凌). She posted the lesson
28、on Facebook, where its been shared more than 160,000 times. Rosie Dutton explained that during one of her classes she presented the children with two red apples. What the kids didnt know was that before the lesson, she had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the floor. And yet, on the outside at
29、 least, both apples looked perfect. “I picked up the apple Id dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple,” Dutton wrote. “I told them that because I didnt like it, I didnt want them to like it either, so they should call it names too.” Some of the children looked
30、 at her as if she were “crazy”, but the students passed the apple around the circle, calling it names. Continuing the exercise, the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle. This apple, however, was showered with words like “Your skin is beautiful” and “What a beautiful colour you have
31、”. Dutton then showed the students both apples once again, stressing that “There was no change, and both apples still looked the same.” Finally, Dutton cut both apples open. The apple that the class treated kindly looked fresh inside. But the other apple the one theyd treated poorly was bruised(碰伤的)
32、 beneath its skin. “I think there was a light bulb moment for the children immediately,” Dutton said. “When people are bullied, especially children, they feel horrible inside and sometimes dont show or tell others how they are feeling. If we hadnt cut that apple open, we would never have known how m
33、uch pain we had caused it.” Dutton explained how important it is to teach children to stand up for one another, and to stop any form of bullying. “Lets create a generation of kind caring children,” the teacher wrote. “The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with
34、 your words.”27. What had the teacher done to the first apple before the lesson?A. She had introduced it to the kids.B. She had colored it bright.C. She had made it look perfect.D. She had damaged it purposely.28. What does the underlined part “call it names” (Para.3) mean?A. Shout at it. B. Make fu

Whats the purpose of the teachers using two apples in class?A. To draw the kids attention.B. To explain her personal preferences.C
36、. To help the kids understand the results of bullying.D. To make a comparison between them.笫二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Say Goodbye to Post-holiday SyndromeYouve spent countless days waking up late, enjoying watching your favorite TV shows and lying on the couch. 3
