The name comes from a Swahili phrase, of which the meaning is first fruits. The holiday is based on traditional African harvest festivals. Created in 1966, Kwanzaa is a relatively new holiday. It is practiced by Africans of all religious faiths. Kwanzaa is observed from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1, which lasts for seven days to highlight the Seven Principles and to celebrate family, community and culture.

Her grandfather proudly showed us his apples. Kate eagerly asked when she could eat them. Since her birth, we cant afford time to take her back to China. Year after year, her grandfather would save us a box of the finest apples just in case we visited. They were kept in the cold store waiting. I vividly remember my first bite of an apple picked straight from the orchard(果园), which enjoys a perfect setting for growing apples with a high altitude and striking temperature differences. A few weeks after the chat, when new blossoms(花) began to appear on the trees, an idea occurred to Kates grandfather. If we couldnt take our daughter back this year, he would take the apples to us. He climbed the ladder, carefully examining blossoms. Those that failed his examination were picked off the trees. When the blossoms grew into small apples, he covered each apple with a special bag consisting of three layers, which would protect the young apples from brown spots and also help them achieve an even coloring. Several weeks passed and the apples were almost ready. He spent days removing the outer layers of the bags. The inner red layers remained. If they were removed too early, the fruits would be damaged by the sunlight. Once they adapted to the sun, he removed the final layers. He individually checked on the redness of his treasured collection, turned the paler sides to face the direction of the sun and removed some surrounding leaves that blocked the light. From his harvest, he still kept one box of his finest apples but this time he was determined to deliver them himself. Applications for his passport and visa approved, he delicately packed his 2-kilogram bag of best applesas fresh fruit is strictly restricted by the customsand headed for the airport. Two complex transfers later, he made it to Scotland. 24. Why did Kates grandfather store he finest apples each year?A. To make them more delicious. B. To sell them for a good price. C.

The author introduces the way of Kates grandfather growing apples in detail in order to .A. give us some advice on how to plant the finest applesB. make an advertisement for the grandfathers finest applesC. show the grandfather is hardworking and attentive toward the applesD. tell us it is unnecessary to plant apples in such a complex way27. What can we infer from the passage?A. The writer once came to Kates grandfathers orchard.B. Kates grandfather posts the apples to Scotland annually. C. Kates grandfather harvested merely 2 kilograms of apples this year. D. Kates grandfather invented the way of covering apples with bags. CHelicopter parents are to blame for their children still living at home at 25, according to an expert David Lancy. Professor Lancy has warned that mothers and fathers praise their children too readily, which does not adequately prepare them for modern life. In an interview, Lancy outlined our societys WEIRDway, which stands for Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich and Democratic(民主的). He argued this has worrying characteristics includingraising each child as special and unique and patting them on the back for every achievement, to protect their self-confidence. Referring toWEIRD, Lancy thinks one primary reason is this fundamental viewpoint that children should never be unhappy and that if they are, thats a problem that the parent is maybe responsible for and certainly has the duty to remediate (补救) Parents are totally wrapped up and centered on their children-an approach that is problematic. When you said to a child, The horizons are limitless for you, you can do anything you want to, theres no hurry, you can take your time, that creates a situation that you tell your kids, You dont have to conform to societys or the workplaces expectations, you can continue to do whats exciting and wonderful for you, and we end up with kids only irregularly employed and dependent on their parents by their mid-twenties. This results in their failure to launch. Lancy said. Lancy believes the West should look at other cultures and their more natural ways of raising children. One of the greatest things weve lost, which you may become aware of in a remote village abroad, is that children have learnt from watching other people do stuff (做事), like making things, working outdoors and helping adults on the farm. Lancy said. If I were a parent or teacher of children now, 1would make sure that they had opportunities to watch. Then even better, to join in, help out. 28. The author writes the passage with the aim .A. give some advice on how to bring children upB. encourage parents to set a good example for childrenC. show the influences of foreign cultures on the western childcareD. warn western parents of the disadvantages of their way of raising children29. Whats the problem with the WEIRD way?A. Childrens self-respect will be destroyed. B. Children tend to get poorly prepared for life. C. Children will only concentrate on housework.D. Children cant afford time to fight for their ambitions. 30. Which of the following can replace the phrase conform to in Paragraph 4?A. Do away with. B. Take advantage of.C. Live up to.D. Set aside. 31. What does Lancy suggest the western parents do?A. Sign children up for courses on foreign cultures. B. Get more involved in childrens growth and development. C. Force adult children to get away from home and live alone. D. Allow children more space to learn things by following suit.DMany personal development coaches seem to agree that magic starts to happen the minute we step outside of our comfort zones. The second you decide that youre willing to go beyond what is safe ，you will have planted a seed that, if watered daily, will blossom(开花)into something that you would have never expected to come to fruition. For me, what we should always keep in mind is that, under no circumstances, can growth and comfort coexist. We are the only ones who can be responsible for how far we will go. However, to reach any personal objective, we must shake things up a bit. Stepping outside of our comfort zone is probably the most important step to experiencing real change. Five years ago, I decided to move overseas. Throughout high school, I wanted to live in a Latin American country and become fluent in Spanish, Obviously the chances of this happening while living in the states were slim to none. So halfway through my undergraduate, I switched over to the online version of my degree and bought a one-way ticket to Argentina, where I finished the last two years of my degree. Recognizing what I wanted years ago and taking the necessary steps to make it a reality was the most important thing I did for myself. The discomfort that came along with the initial culture shock, using my second language on a daily basis and leaning to live life differently from the way we do things in the U. S. has turned out to be an extremely enriching experience. The comfort zone can be misleading in the sense that it tricks us into believing that we have an abundant amount of time when, in reality, we all know that years can fly by without us having accomplished much of what we really wanted to do. Growth requires discomfort. If you stick with what is comfortable, youre giving up hope of surprising yourself, of having the best experiences human life has to offer. So why wait?32.According to some personal development coaches, .A. magic is more likely to happen outside comfort zonesB. nobody can predict what the future has in store for usC. a seed will grow into a fruit only in unsafe placeD. comfort zones can guarantee safety33. The author may agree that .A. growth cant come along with comfortB. all of us can decide how far we will goC. all changes will bring you some benefitsD. growth is rooted in comfort34. What does the author mainly want to show us through her story?A. She came across many challenges abroad. B. It is never too old to learn a foreign language. C. Argentina is an ideal country to gain a degree in. D. Getting exposed to discomfort made her closer to her dream. 35. Which is not the advantage of stepping outside our comfort zones?A. Surprising ourselves. B. Getting some discomfort. C. Having enriching experience.D. Achieving something magic.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入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Lying there, thinking about the past few weeks of doing what seemed like absolutely nothing productive at all, I started to worry.
