The festival is most famous for its “l(fā)and diving ceremony”. During the ceremony men and boys dive to the ground from high wooden towers with only two thin vines(藤條) attached to their ankles(腳踝). The divers heads have to lightly touch the ground when they jump-something very dangerous if the vines are not measured properly.Cherry Blossom Viewing -JapanDates: The cherry blossom season is different from year to year depending on the weather forecast.The cherry blossom season has huge importance to the people of Japan, who celebrate the days when the flowers finally blossom. Only a few days later, the petals(花瓣）fall to the ground, like pink snowflakes. This is one of the most beautiful things to see.

A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth(收費站). “Im paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friends refrigerator: “Practice random(隨意的) kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining why shed taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “l(fā)ike a message from above.” Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didnt know where it came from or what it really meant.Two days later, Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.“Heres the idea,” Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later.

Most of the country is in the Southern Hemisphere(半球)Ecuador is about the size of Colorado and is bordered by the South American countries Colombia and Peru. The Galapagos Islands, 596 miles west of the mainland of Ecuador，are part of Ecuador and are home to many unique birds and plants. The Costa, or coastal plain region, is where many of the worlds bananas are grown. The Sierra is also made up of farmland. The Oriente is east of the Andes and is rich in oil.Ecuador is considered to be one of the most diverse(多樣的) areas of the world. There are some 25,000 plant species and over 1,600 known bird species. Ecuador has nine national parks，including the Galapagos Islands. These 18 islands are home to some of the most amazing creatures. This is where Charles Darwin noticed the diversity of species and began to study evolution.Ecuador was part of the Inca Empire until the Spanish arrived and claimed the country as a Spanish colony. For three hundred years the Spanish controlled Ecuador. In 1822，Ecuador became independent of Spain.About 10 percent of Ecuadors population is of European origin.

Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces(熔爐) that burn their own matter as fuel. When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die.The death of a star is not a quiet event. First there is a huge explosion. As its outer layer is blasted off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns.After the explosion, gravity pulls in whats left of the star. As the outside of the star sinks toward the center, the star gets smaller and smaller. The material the star is made of becomes tightly packed together. A star is so solid that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billion of pounds.The more the star shrinks(收縮), the stronger the gravity inside it becomes. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! Since all the light is pulled in, none can go out. The star becomes black when there is no light. Then a black hole is born!Thats what we know about black holes. What we dont know is this: What happens inside a black hole after the star has been squeezed into a tiny ball? Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever? Such a possibility is hard to imagine.But if the black hole doesnt keep shrinking, what happens to it? Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world. They say that as the star disappears from our universe, it goes into another universe. In other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a white hole in a different universe. As the black hole swallows(吞噬) light, the white hole shines brightly-somewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time-many years in the past or future.Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed(擠壓). So far the time being, black hole must remain a mystery.Black holes are a mystery-but that hasnt stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes. They would supply all of Earths energy needs, with plenty to spare. Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthly waste-a sort of huge waste disposal(處理) in the sky!32. When the star begins to die _.A. there is no fuel left in it B. a huge explosion will happenC. its outer layer goes into space firstD. it doesnt give off light any longer33. Which of the following doesnt help produce a black hole?A. The dying star shines very brightly.B. The light cant go out of the star.C. The star becomes smaller and smallerD. The gravity inside the star is very strong.34. The black hole _.A. continues becoming smaller and smaller all the timeB. goes into another universe and becomes a white holeC. will appear at another place at a different timeD. can pull in everything we know of in the world35. Whats the best title for this passage?A. A New Scientific Discovery: Black Holes B. What Are Black Holes?C. How Do Black Holes Come Into Being? D. Travel Through A Black Hole第二節(jié) （共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。NBA basketball players devote much of their lives to preparing for games. This preparation, which includes studying game films, practicing skills and treating injuries, is essential because of the pressure-packed nature of their profession.36 Generally, on the day of a game, players get together in the morning for an hour shooting and also review films of the opponent(對手) of that night. 37 Players receive treatments for injuries, put on their uniforms, discuss strategies(策略) with coaches and warm up during the remaining time before the game gets underway.
