A
New Year’s celebrations take many forms, but most cultures have one thing in
common—have a good time after a long, hard year. For much of the globe this involves
drinking with friends until the sun comes up, singing together. But others have
rather more curious habits, often filled with superstition (迷信).
In Denmark, people stand on chairs and jump off together as the clock strikes
midnight, really leaping into the new year. The Danes also throw plates at their
friends’ homes during the night-the more pieces you find outside your door in the
morning the more popular you are said to be.
In Finland, say tour guides, people pour melted (熔化的) lead into cold water
to predict the year ahead from the shape the metal forms. If the shape represents
a ship it is said to predict travel, if it’s a ball, good luck.
The Dutch build massive bonfires with their Christmas trees and cat sugary donuts
—one of many cultures to consume round New Year’s foods traditionally believed
to represent good fortune.
Spaniards, in turn, cat a dozen grapes before the strike of midnight, each fruit
representing a month that will either be sweet or sour.
In the Philippines, people wear polka dots (带圆点的服装) for good luck, while
in some countries of South America people put on brightly coloured underwear to
attract fortune—red for love and yellow for financial success.
Despite regional and cultural differences, for most the New Year’s festivities
are a chance to let off steam before the annual cycle starts all over again. “This
is a holiday that is about celebration and letting go,” explained George Washington
University sociologist Amitai Etzioni.
1. In which country is the festival related to metal?
A. Denmark.
B. Spain.
C. Finland.
D. The
Netherlands.
2. What can we learn about New Year’s celebrations from the text?
A. The Danes throw grapes at their friends’ homes during the night.
B. Spaniards eat many donuts before the strike of midnight.
C. The Dutch build massive walls with their Christmas trees.
D. Some people in South America wear red underwear for love.
3. What does the underlined phrase “let off steam” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Get married.
B. Get relaxed.
C. Make money.
D. Make
friends.
【答案】1. C

Abbey Ahern, 34, who lives in Oklahoma, was shocked and heartbroken when she
was told at her 19-week scan that her daughter had the incurable illness anencephaly
(无脑畸形) which meant she would not live beyond a few hours. It ripped her heart
out.
According to the National Institutes of Health, the illness means the baby has
an underdeveloped brain and incomplete skull (颅骨). Approximately one in 10,000
babies in the US are born with anencephaly, most of which result in early death.
As a result, Abbey and her pilot husband Robert, also 34, decided to have a live
birth so that they could spend time with their daughter and donate her organs —
making Annie the first newborn baby donor in the state.
Afterwards they asked the doctor for the gender of their unborn child and decided
to name her on the spot. They named her easily: Annie, which means, “grace”. Abbey
said: “Carrying a seriously-ill baby to term was by far the most difficult thing
I have ever done…For us, even in the middle of our terrible heartbreak we were able
to see so much beauty.” The family spent just 14 hours and 58 minutes with Annie
before she passed away.
Her organs were not available for transplant (移植) because her oxygen levels
were too low — which Abbey said was “disappointing”— but they were able to donate
her heart valves (瓣膜) and some of her organs could be used for research. She said:
“Annie’s story is one of hope. I think it shows people that in the middle of tragedy,
there can be beauty.”
4. How did Abbey feel at the news about her daughter firstly?
A. Surprised and upset.
B. Worried and determined.
C. Relieved and regretful.
D. Curious and angry.
5. What was Abbey and her husband’s decision?
A. Keeping Annie in hospital.
B. Stopping giving birth to Annie.
C. Giving away Annie’s organs.
D. Naming her daughter after
beauty.
6. Why were Annie’s organs not used for transplant?
A. Because of diseases.
B. Because of low temperature.
C. Because of heart valves.
D. Because of lack of oxygen.
7. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To call on people to donate organs.
B. To share a touching story with
readers.
C. To inform people of what anencephaly is.
D. To show what a tragedy the story
is.
【答案】4. A
5. C
6. D

On the edge of the Atlantic, there is much more water on islands. Experts say
the Uists (尤伊斯特群岛) in the UK are on the front line of climate change and some
of those who call this home are already adapting to their changing landscape. Donald
MacPhee, an islander told BBC, “We seem to be getting a lot more rain—very
unpredictable, but back in my father’s days you could guarantee that you’d have
plenty of dry weather in August. But now it’s very unpredictable.” This low-lying
watery landscape is weak to changes in our climate—with predictions that the sea
level here could rise by as much as half a metre over the next few decades.
And that’s not the only challenge facing these islands which are so exposed
to wet and stormy weather. Professor Stewart Angus, a coastal ecologist said, “A
lot of the land actually lies below the level of the sea for much of the tidal cycle
(潮汐). Secondly, you have rising sea levels. Thirdly, you have rising rainfall in
winter. And you have the great difficulty in a very low-lying environment of removing
that water.”
The airport here provides a lifeline service to islanders. A million pounds has
been spent on the latest work to protect the runway, which ends just metres from
the shore. At the islands’ arts centre, a picture of a rising line is shown. Andy
Mackinnon, an artist told us, “So, the line represents a symbolic level that the
sea will rise to. I hope that it does make people think about what we’re doing.”
And from the children here, out taking care of their local beach, messages in
English and Gaelic (盖尔语) of their hopes and fears are being sent to the UN climate
summit in Glasgow. “Stop sea levels rising. We could be under the water soon.”
These small islands hope for big commitments from world leaders to lessen the worst
that climate change might bring.
8. What does Paragraph 1 imply?
A. All islands have been under the water.
B. The weather here now is still
predictable.
C. Islands are at risk due to climate change. D. The sea level will rise by 5
metres in decades.
9. What is the big challenge for islanders now according to Paragraph 2?
A. Dry and hot weather.
B. Irregular tidal cycle.
C. Protecting the runway.
D. Getting rid of the water.
10. What is Andy Mackinnon’s attitude towards the islands?
A. Concerned.
B. Indifferent.
C. Pessimistic.
D.
Relieved.
11. What might be talked about in the paragraph following the text?
A. How the islands are flooded.
B. What help UN can provide for
islanders.
C. What life children here live.
D. What effect climate change may
bring.
【答案】8. C
9. D
10. A
11. B
【解析】
