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 competitorsB. stallholders usually benefited most from the Goose FairC. the Goose Fair gradually lost popularity with time going byD. 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 peopleB. it brings great benefits to the local economyC. it has strong support from the mayor of NottinghamD. 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 todayC. those against the Goose Fair were mostly from the countrysideD. the Lenton Fair was once held at the same time as the Goose Fair24. What does the underlined word “prohibit” in the last paragraph mean?A. Prevent.B. Follow.C. Ignore.D. Describe.【答案】21. D 22. B 23. B 24. A【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了诺丁汉鹅览会磕磕绊绊的历史过程，虽然经历了各种阻挠和骚乱，鹅览会还是存活了下来。【21题详解】推理判断题。根据第六段第一句The fair has been under threat of closure many times over the years.（多年来，该博览会多次面临关闭的威胁）是本段的主旨句，提及1764年的奶酪骚乱主要是用事例来证明本段的主旨句，可知暴力和麻烦过去常使鹅览会处于危险之中，故选D项。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段的Despite attempts throughout its history to prevent the fair, the income from rents paid by the stallholders is financially beneficial to the local government. 尽管历史上一直有人试图阻止博览会，但摊贩支付的租金收入在财政上有利于当地政府。由此可知鹅览会一直持续到今天，主要是因为它给当地经济带来了巨大的利益，故选B项。【23题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段的By 1880 the fair was reduced to a three-day event,1880年，博览会缩减为为期三天的活动，由此可推知，鹅览会过去比现在持续的时间长，故选B项。【24题详解】词义猜测题。根据最后一段的Despite attempts throughout its history to prevent the fair,和So regardless of the cheese riots and the various attempts to prohibit it, Nottingham Goose Fair has survived尽管发生了奶酪骚乱和各种阻止鹅览会的行为，诺丁汉鹅展还是存活了下来。根据语境可知，此处的prohibit相当于prevent意为“阻止”，故选A项。BSagrada Familia ( 2,056,448 visits/year)Opening hours: 09:00-18:00 (October-March) 09:00-20:00 (April-September).Admission: $11, or $10 with the Barcelona Card.Disabled access: Yes.The temple has been under construction since 1882 and theyve still got another 30 to 80 years to go before it will be finished.

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 thatA. the situation was really dangerous at the momentB. 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 .A. he felt deep sympathy for the girlB. he wanted to earn respect from othersC. he knew the police would come to helpD. he found the attacker was weaker than him30.

Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story?A. Inspiring.B. Puzzling.C. Unexpected.D. Disappointing.【答案】28. C 29. A 30. A 31. C【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讲的是作者一天晚上走在大街上，听到灌木丛中有搏斗声，经历了内心的挣扎，终于鼓起勇气去施救，施救成功却发现被救的人居然是自己的女儿。【28题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段的Should I get involved?. What if I became another victim? Shouldnt I just run to the nearest phone and call the police? 我应该参与吗?.如果我成为另一个受害者呢?我不应该跑到最近的电话亭报警吗?可知，第三段主要都是作者的心理描写，主要想告诉我们作者在采取行动之前一直在做思想上的斗争，故选C项。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段的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.可知作者终于下定决心，不能对这个陌生女孩的命运置之不理，由此可以推知作者冒着生命危险去帮忙，主要是因为他对那个女孩深表同情，故选A项。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段的I was worried about my own safety, and regretted having suddenly decided to take a new route home that night. 我担心自己的安全，后悔那天晚上突然决定走一条新路线回家。由此可以推知作者通常每天晚上走另一条路回家，故选A项。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段的There was a long pause and then I heard the words, spoken in wonder, in amazement. “Dad, is that you?”由此可以推知，作者在最后惊讶地听到了自己的女儿的声音，作者没想到被抢劫的人居然是自己的女儿，故可知C项（出乎意料的）可以用来描述故事的结局，故选C项。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 thesolitaryfight 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.
