festival of colors. it is celebrated at the end of the winter season, on the last full moon day of the lunar month phalguna. in 2014, holi was celebrated on march 17. holi is celebrated by hindus all over the world. holi celebrations begin on the eve of the festival with bonfires and prayers. on the day of holi, people throw colored powder and liquids at each other. a common greeting during this time is, “happy holi.” holi celebrations are particularly wild and uncontrolled in india as social rules are relaxed. colored water is squirted(喷湿) on passers-by, and people are dunked(泡;浸) into muddy water. many people drink bhang, a powerful wine made from a plant. social class differences are temporarily ignored and people of all ages, genders and backgrounds gather together and celebrate the festival. in fact, it is said that one can get away with almost any kind of behavior on the day of holi by saying “dont mind, it is holi.” in addition to the boisterous nature of the festival, this is a time for family members to get together, give gifts, eat special foods and decorate their homes. overall, this is one of the most spirited and beloved festivals of the hindu calendar. the celebration of holi is described in hindu historical texts and stories that have passed from generation to generation. holi commemorates the mythical story of a young boy called prahlada, the son of the king of demons (恶魔). unable to tolerate prahladas devotion to vishnu, a good god, his demon father attempted to kill him several times by poisoning him, throwing him from the top of a mountain, etc. but failed each time. finally, he ordered his son to sit on a fire on the lap of his demoness sister, holika, who was protected from the flames. prahlada accepted his fathers command and survived unharmed from the fire while his sister was burned to death. this story is widely known throughout india, and as with most hindu tales, it varies slightly in different parts of the country.46. the passage is written to _. a. report the celebration of an indian festival b. explain why holi is important to indians c. introduce a popular indian festival d. tell the origin of an indian festival 47. the underlined word “boisterous” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _. a. colourful and traditional b. lively and energetic c. dirty and angry d. peaceful and quiet 48. during the festival of holi, people do the following except _. a. colour their faces and bodies and drink muddy water b. get together with the family and enjoy special food c. throw coloured powder and give gifts to friends d. say prayers and celebrate with bonfires 49. what can we infer from the passage? a. india is a country with strict social rules. b. bhang is a very popular daily drink in india. c. criminals will be forgiven if they celebrate holi. d. social class differences are very obvious in india. 50. according to the last paragraph, holi was originally celebrating _. a. the end of winter b. the birth of a god c. victory of good against bad d. love between family members c3d printers are a new generation of machines that can make everyday things. theyre remarkable because they can produce different kinds of objects, in different materials, all from the same machine. a 3d printer can make pretty much anything from clay cups to plastic toys, metal machine parts, fancy chocolate cakes or even (one day soon) human body parts. if you look at a page from your home printer with a microscope, youll see the letters are actually sitting slightly on top of the surface of the page. in theory, if you printed over that same page a few thousand times, the ink would build up enough layers (层) to create a solid 3d model of each letter. that idea of building a physical form out of tiny layers is how a 3d printer works. you start by designing a 3d object on an ordinary home pc, connect it to a 3d printer, press “print” and then sit back and watch. the process is a bit like making a loaf of sliced bread, but in the opposite order. imagine baking each individual slice of bread and then gluing them together into a whole loaf. thats basically what a 3d printer does. the 3d printing process turns a whole object into thousands of tiny little slices, and then forms a single solid object slice by slice. you can print a whole bike handlebars, saddle, frame, wheels, brakes, pedals and chain ready assembled, without using any tools. its just a question of leaving spaces in the right places. have you ever broken something, only to find its no longer sold and you cant replace it? 3d printing means you can simply print a new one. that world, where you can make almost anything at home, is very different from the one we live in today. its a world that doesnt need trucks to deliver goods or warehouses to store them in, where nothing is ever out of stock and where there is less waste, packaging and pollution. its also a world where everyday items, such as shoes and furniture, can be easily made to your requirements. you can get some of those things now if youre wealthy, but 3d printing brings affordable, designer manufacturing to the masses. if that sounds like pure fantasy, try googling “personalized 3d printed products” and see for yourself. 51. you need all of the following to do some 3d printing except _. a. a computer b. some glue c. some materials d. a 3d printer 52. the second and third paragraphs mainly explain _. a. how a 3d printer actually functionsb. the process of making a loaf of bread c. why the first 3d printer was inventedd. what 3d printers can actually produce 53. which of the following is an advantage of 3d printing according to the passage? a. you can produce almost everything in the warehouse. b. you can print things in large numbers and sell them. c. things you print wont need places to store. d. it will cause less waste and pollution. 54. you can now use the 3d printer to solve your problem when you _. a. have lost one of your shirt buttons b. want a big house to live in c. run out of drinking water d. need to replace an organ 55. from the last paragraph we can learn that 3d printing productions are _. a. easy to order through google b. as popular as online shopping c. still unbelievable to many people d. cheap to produce in mass productiondthey tell us when to get up or when were running late for work and whether we are in danger of missing our favourite tv programme. but while our daily routines rely on clocks that tell us the time, science is discovering that our well-being is influenced by a very different kind of timepiece. circadian rhythms the human bodys own internal clock have a powerful influence on our health and behaviour. they are programmed from birth and control functions ranging from temperature and blood pressure to sleep patterns. in recent years researchers have also discovered that this built-in mechanism can influence everything from the way we react to medicines to how well we learn music. the latest example, from experts at harvard university in the us, shows that the human body clock can even dictate whether or not we are likely to tell the truth. researchers found it was easier for people to fib in the afternoon because, as they were tired, the self control that would normally prevent them from lying started to break down. tiredness made it harder to resist the temptation to tell lies especially if it meant they got a financial reward at the end. “the body clock has a great effect on us all,” says professor jim horne from the sleep research centre at loughborough university. “most people tend to feel good around late morning and then decline in the early afternoon. but the time most of us will feel our sharpest is between 6pm and 8pm. thats because sleepiness tends to build up throughout the day. by early evening our body clock kicks in to wake us up. one reason may be to ensure we get home safely. when our ancestors were coming home after hunting all day their internal clocks kicked in to get them home in one piece.” so what effects do circadian rhythms have and whats the best time of day to take advantage of them? 56. the underlined word “they” in the first paragraph refers to _. a. our clocks b. scientists and experts c. our daily routines d. circadian rhythms 57. the research referred to in paragraph 3 found that people tend to _. a. tell lies when they are tired b. tell lies if they are rewarded c. lose temper as they become tired d. break down because they are tired 58. according to the passage, when are people most quick-thinking? a. in the morning. b. around midday. c. in the late afternoon. d. in the early evening. 59. what information will the writer probably present following the las
