However, nowadays you wont find any geese there. The fair opened at 12:00 on the Thursday by the Lord Mayor of Nottingham, but it has an interesting and shocking history.For starters, it wasnt always the largest fair in the area. And the main fair for the people of Nottingham in terms of trade and economy was the Lenton Fair held at Lenton Priory. In the Middle Ages the Lenton Fair overshadowed (使显得逊色) the Goose Fair in size and importance. Harrisons Calendar of Fairs for 1587 mentions the Lenton Fair but not the Goose Fair. However, the Goose Fair competed with its local competitors and every year over 20,000 geese from the Fens in Lincolnshire arrived to be sold to provide the traditional Michaelmas dish. It wasnt just for geese either. All kinds of things were sold at the Goose Fair: sheep, horses and cattle were also sold. The fair has been under threat of closure many times over the years. In 1764 they actually had cheese riots (暴乱) due to an increase of a third on the price of cheese compared with the previous year, which resulted in an attack on the stallholders (摊主) at the fair. By 1880 the fair was reduced to a three-day event, which started on the first Thursday of October. In 1928 the fair was moved from the market square to its present site in the forest which is far away from the city centre. Despite attempts throughout its history to prevent the fair, the income from rents paid by the stallholders is financially beneficial to the local government. So regardless of the cheese riots and the various attempts to prohibit it, Nottingham Goose Fair has survived to celebrate over eight centuries of fun. 21. The cheese riots in 1764 were mentioned to show .A. the Goose Fair met strong competition from its competitors B. stallholders usually benefited most from the Goose Fair C. the Goose Fair gradually lost popularity with time going by D. violence and troubles used to put the Goose Fair in danger22. The Goose Fair has lasted till today mainly because .A. it is full of fun and enjoyed by most people B. it brings great benefits to the local economy C. it has strong support from the mayor of Nottingham D. it is representative of the traditions of Nottingham23. We can learn from the text that . A. the Goose Fair didnt become famous until 1587B. the Goose Fair used to last longer than it does today C. those against the Goose Fair were mostly from the countryside D. the Lenton Fair was once held at the same time as the Goose Fair24.

I was walking down a dark street late one evening when I heard screams coming from behind a clump of bushes (灌木). Alarmed, I slowed down to listen and soon realized that what I was hearing was the unmistakable sounds of a struggle: mad fighting and tearing of clothes. Only yards from where I stood, a girl was being attacked. Should I get involved? I was worried about my own safety, and regretted having suddenly decided to take a new route home that night. What if I became another victim? Shouldnt I just run to the nearest phone and call the police? The girls cries were growing weaker. I knew I had to act at once. How could I walk away from this? I finally made up my mind. I could not turn my back on the fate of this unknown girl, even if it meant risking my own life. I am not a brave man, nor am I physically strong. I didnt know where I got the courage and strength, but once I had decided to help the girl, I became strangely different. I ran behind the bushes and pulled the attacker off the girl. Struggling, we fell to the ground, where we wrestled for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up and escaped. Out of breath, I stood up and approached the girl, who was behind a tree, sobbing. Not wanting to frighten her further, I at first spoke to her from a distance. “Its okay,” I said softly. “The man has run away. Youre safe now.” There was a long pause and then I heard the words, spoken in wonder, in amazement. “Dad, is that you?” And then, from behind the tree, out stepped my youngest daughter, Katherine. 28. The third paragraph mainly tells us that A. the situation was really dangerous at the moment B. the author made a serious mistake that nightC. the author was struggling mentally before taking actionD. it was selfish of the author to care about his own safety29. The author risked his own life to help mainly because .

DRobots that can chat, find misplaced glasses, draw airplanes and play with your children are attracting thousands of visitors during an expo in Tokyo as Japan adapts to changes in society. Robots, such as the sound-sensitive Chapit, answer simple questions and even joke with people to help the solitary fight loneliness and stay alert (机警的) in old age. “Many old people in Japan live alone and have no one to talk to,” said Kazuya Kitamura, a representative of the expo organizer. “Communication robots stay together with old people and dont mind listening to the same stories over and over again.” While Chapit, a relatively simple robot, managed to attract a partner, many researchers, such as Kiyoshi Matsumoto, a professor at the University of Tokyo, struggle to attract sponsors for more expensive projects. Matsumotos “Personal Mobility Robot”, equipped with four cameras and a sensor to recognize the users centre of gravity, is designed to help the elderly move around without pressing buttons as in traditional wheelchairs. The robot can also help find misplaced glasses by recognizing them with a sensor. “We have developed a robot that can assist many people, but because of the high cost, we still havent found a sponsor,” said Matsumoto, who added that the cost of the machine, if produced in large quantities, would be comparable to that of a small car. “In the current economic environment there are few companies willing to invest (投资) in such a costly project,” he said. Other robots, such as the award-winning “DiGRO”, can support busy parents who have little time to play with their children. The robot can use the Internet to find a simple image and then draw pictures, looking after children while parents work. Japan is one of the worlds fastest-aging countries and the government predicts that by 2050 the population of people over 65 will reach 40 percent.32. What can Chapit do according to the text?A. It can find misplaced objects for the elderly.B. It can help the elderly to move around freely.C. It can communicate with people.D. It can tell the same story over and over again.33. What is the problem with Matsumotos “Personal Mobility Robot”?A. It is too expensive. B. It is not practical.C. It is just like traditional wheelchairs.D. It is not quite convenient for the elderly to use.34. “DiGRO” is designed to .A. keep children busyB. create simple imagesC. keep children company D. help children learn how to draw35. What does the underlined word “solitary” in the second paragraph mean? A. Poor.B. Lonely.C. Unemployed.D. Disabled. 第二节（共5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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Ive been keeping an English blog for many years. These practical tips have helped me over the course of my blogging.
