The three-day event is not fixed to the same dates each year, but generally takes place in November or December. It is well attended by tourists, but even better attended by locals.During the opening ceremonies, after the official greetings from the government leaders, people who attend the festival begin to march smartly before the viewing stands, and white camels transport their riders across the sands. Horsemen from different nations display their beautiful clothes and their fine horsemanship. One following another, groups of musicians and dancers from all over the Sahara take their turn to show off their wonderful traditional culture. Groups of men in blue and yellow play horns and beat drums as they dance in different designs. On their knees in the sand, a group of women in long dark dresses dance with their hair: their long, dark, shiny hair is thrown back and forth in the wind to the rhythm of their dance.The local and visiting Italian dogs are anxious to run after hares (野兔). The crowd is on its feet for the camel races. Camels and riders run far into the distance, and then return to the finish Line in front of the cheering people.Towards the evening, there comes the grand finale of the opening day, an extremely exciting horse-race. All the riders run very fast on horseback. Some riders hang off the side of their saddles. Some even ride upside down - their legs and feet straight up in the air - all at full speeDOthers rush down the course together, men arm in arm, on different horses. On and on they went.

They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment and self-improvement.Ask a bachelor (单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three-day vacation. I dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchilDUnderstanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.28According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _ .Ahe is unwilling to take family responsibilitiesBhe believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleChe finds more fun in dating than in marriageDhe fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement29Raising children, in the authors opinion, is _ .Aa moral dutyBa thankless jobCa rewarding taskDa source of inevitable pain30To understand what true happiness is one must _ .Ahave as much fun as possible during ones lifetimeBmake every effort to liberate oneself from painCput up with pain under all circumstancesDbe able to distinguish happiness from fun31What is the author trying to tell us?AHappiness often goes hand in hand with pain.BOne must know how to make money.CIt is not important to make commitments.DIts pain that leads to happiness.DThe English language is changing, and you are responsible! Whether we consider changes in grammar, spelling, pronunciation, or the very vocabulary of the language, you have played your part and continue to do so.When we first learned basic grammar and spelling, perhaps in elementary school, we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacreDThe rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable. While this approach might be beneficial for teaching children, it is far from accurate.The English language, like many others, is a living, growing, ever-evolving thing. Like it or not, you are involved in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed radically over the years and centuries, with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this. While the language of a thousand years ago might be called English, most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the British and American ways of pronouncing certain words. In addition to these differences, the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. For example, consider the word err. The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word her. However in recent years, more and more people have been pronouncing it so that it sounds like air.Another change in the language involves the addition and removal of words. The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the centuries, many words have come from other languages. In fact, English has probably done this more than any other language in the world, which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions.Of course many slang words have been just short-lived fads that have died out quickly. Others,though, have been adopted by mainstream society and become respectable, as have many technical terms. So then remember, the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street, or make up your own words, you may be contributing to the future of the English language.32When we begin to learn English, we think .Ait is interesting to take up a new languageBgrammar and spelling rules are unchangeableConly grown-ups have the ability to affect a languageDEnglish rules are wrongly presented in fact33The pronunciation of words are changing because .Apeople speak in different waysBthe British dont agree with othersCpeople adopted foreign wordsDmakers of dictionaries created them34Which of the following statement about English slang words is True?AAll the slang words have become standard English.BEnglish slang words are popular for a short time.CSome slang words have been accepted.DEnglish slang words have different meanings actually.35Which of the following is the best title for the passage?AYou can change the English language.BEnglish is changing over years.CThe British speaks differently from Americans.DForeign words involved in English.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。How to Find Something You Like to DoFinding something you enjoy doing can improve the quality of your life and reduce your stress levels._36_It can also help you make friends or even provide a purpose in your life.
