No matter where you go around the globe, everybody loves to celebrate. And when it
comes to celebration, festivals offer something for everyone.
Mardi Gras (New Orleans, Louisiana)
Also known as Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras in New Orleans is a cultural event. Though the
celebration is held every year, the festivities last for months. And if you love music, check
out the annual Galactic concert at the world-famous Tipitina's on Lundi Gras (the day before
Mardi Gras)．
La Tomatina (Valencia, Spain)
Launched way back in 1944 or 1945, La Tomatina is one of the oldest festivals on our
list. It's also easily the happiest but the messiest, coming off like the world's biggest food
fight.
Legend has it that the whole thing started when some local boys joined a parade
alongside musicians. The boys made the performers so angry that they tried to hit the boys,
and a vendor's (摊贩) vegetable stand fell victim to the incident.
If you go, please follow some simple rules: Don't throw hard objects; squash the tomato
before throwing it; keep a safe distance from tomato trucks and stop in time.
Montreux Jazz Festival (Switzerland)
Founded back in 1967, Montreux is one of the oldest music festivals in the world. It is
also the second largest jazz festival, after the Montreal International Jazz Festival. That
Canadian concert may attract more visitors — around 2 million annually. But Montreux
benefits from its pretty location on the attractive shores of Lake Geneva. The area is
particularly beautiful in late June/early July, when the festival is held.
21．When is the Galactic concert held?
A．On Mardi Gras.
B．On Lundi Gras.
C．On Montreux Jazz Festival.
D．On La Tomatina.
22．What do people do on La Tomatina?
A．Punish naughty boys.
B．Enjoy musicians' performance.
C．Throw tomatoes without hurting.
D．Catch people who destroy tomatoes.
23．Where can you read the passage probably?
A．In a news report.
B．In an academic journal.
C．In a concert brochure.
D．In a travel magazine.

A few years ago, I stood in a small classroom just outside of New York City, watching a
high schooler named Serena Stevenson answer math questions. An instructor
read out numbers — 74,470, 70,809, 98,402 — and Stevenson added them in her head. For
each question, she closed her eyes, and then the fingers of her right hand began to move. She
answered most of the problems correctly.
The key to her success was an ancient technology called the abacus (算盘). Stevenson
used a practice called “mental abacus”, imagining the abacus in her mind and then using her
fingers to work through the problems.
From watching Stevenson, I knew that gaining skill at the abacus was more than a
matter of counting beads (珠子), so I decided to sign up for an abacus course with my two
daughters to see if we could also improve our math skills. I was one of the many who had
some math doubts and I felt a touch of fear. My typical solution was avoidance, and if I had
to calculate something like a percentage change, I would go online.
Then after a few abacus classes and a good amount of practice, math seemed a little less
frightening. I didn’t become Euclid, the founder of geometry ( 几 何 学 ). But the practice
brought my numerical fears down. This is a time-tested power of the abacus. Confidence
grows easily in the device, and abacus students are less likely to be nervous about an
upcoming math test, according to one study. Part of the reason, it seems, is that practice and
outcomes appear to move in step.
My kids gained much as well. My youngest daughter could work out those math
problems that once baffled her, while my older child brought her abacus to school to show it
to her classmates and teacher. These were just small successes for them, but that was how
they finally developed confidence.
24. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To prove the difficulty of math.
B. To introduce the topic of the abacus.
C. To show the high intelligence of Stevenson.
D. To stress the importance of abacus learning.
25. What do we know about the author from paragraph 3?
期中英语试题第 3页， 共 6页。
A. He had a close relationship with kids.
B. He regarded math as useful.
C. He was good at computer.
D. He was weak in math.
26. What does the author realize from his learning experience?
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. It’s never too late to learn.
C. Faith can move mountains.
D. Knowledge starts with practice.
27. What does the underlined word “baffled” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Bored. B. Inspired.
C. Interested. D. Defeated.
C
The time to form a new habit depends on the person, the habit itself, the environment,
and the motivation. Generally speaking, 60 days is good enough for getting a new habit
formed, but some habits could take twice as long. Some habits will never be formed no
matter how much time passes. Even a habit that takes months or years to form can still be
broken eventually.
Becoming an early riser was really challenging. I struggled with this habit for years to
manage to form it. I do break this habit now and then, usually by choice to experience
something different for a while. In the past 90 days, I have stayed in bed past 5 am perhaps
only two or three times. It takes me less than a week to be back with it. Remembering the
benefits surely helps.
In my 20s I was too impatient with many habits. If I couldn’t get something working in
a few weeks, I’d often drop it and try something else. Now that I’m in my late 40s, I have
learned to think in a more practical way. I know that even if it takes many months or years to
form a new habit, I am sure the habit could bring advantages for many years. It doesn’t take
me too long to think of carrying out the new habit, I just get it started. When you think about
a habit that you have stuck to for many years, who cares if it took a few weeks or six months
to form it?
Don’t worry so much about how long it takes to form a habit. Instead, consider which
habits could improve the quality of your life so that they are worthy of six months to get
them formed. When a habit forms at last, it feels uncomfortable not to do it, and your day
doesn’t feel complete without it.
28. What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A. We have to keep the habits once formed.
B. Most habits can be formed quickly.
C. We need sixty days to form a new habit.
D. The time to form habits varies greatly.
29. Why does the writer break the habit of getting up early sometimes?
A. He likes sleeping in bed for a while.
B. He wants to try something different.
C. He prepares breakfast for the family.
D. He is afraid to wake up his family.
30. What does the writer think more about the habit when he is in his forties?
A. The development of the habit.
B. The expense of the habit.
C. The benefits of the habit.
D. The limitation of the habit.
31. In which part of a magazine is this text most probably taken from?
A. Education.
B. Technology.
C. Tourism.
D. Literature.
D
Music is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper
than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of
music.
A recent study suggests that preterm(早产的) babies appear to experience less pain and
feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the University of
Alberta ,Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies
experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared to benefit full-term babies during
operations.
Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems.
Music can help recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors
often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the brain
responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological(神经系统的) disorders
hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.
Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing.
There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were musicians. Participants were
asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians,
and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better
