Created as a platform for documentaries and fiction works, the programming offers an up-close look at Mexican society as seen through the eyes of a new generation of filmmakers. Fashionable bars and sidewalk cafes are buzzing with activity around the main square, where crowds gather nightly for open-air screenings and other cultural events.Day of the DeadEach year on November 1st and 2nd, Mexico turns its thoughts to the departed during the Day of the Dead festivities, a colorful tradition deeply rooted in native culture. For Mexicans, death is more a cause for celebration than mourning, and that spirit has been kept very much alive in Ptzcuaro, the Da de Muertos mecca. Prepare yourself to battle large crowds of the living.Carnival in Veracruz &MazatlnMexico hosts many carnival celebrations every year featuring exciting parades, dance performances, live music and of course, big-time partying. The nine-day event in Veracruz, Mexicos biggest carnival, usually kicks off in March, right around the same time when festivities get started on the Pacific coast in Mazatln. You can shake your body with salsa music in Veracruz or the brass band sounds of Mazatln.La MorismaAn all-out war erupts on the streets of colonial Zacatecas, usually around late August. OK, well, its actually a mock battle with well over 2,000 participants re-enacting battles between the Christians and Moors in old Spain. The faux（假的）soldiers attack one another while acpanied on the streets by bands of musicians.21. How do the Mexicans feel when the Day of the Dead es? A. Calm B. Anxious C. Scared D. Happy22.

They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin. The professor handed out the question paper, with the text facing down as usual. Once he handed them all out, he asked his students to turn the page and begin. To everyones surprise, there were no questions but a black dot in the center of the page. The professor seeing the expression on everyone face, told them the following, “I want you to write what you see there.”The students were confused and got started on the inexplicable (令人不解的) task.At the end of the class the professor took all the answer papers and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students. All of them with no exceptions, described the black dot, explained its position in the middle of the sheet, imagined what the black dot stood for and so on.After all had been read, the classroom was silent. The professor began to explain, “I am not going to grade on you this time. I just wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the white part of the paper. Everyone focused on the black dot and the same happens in our lives. We have a white paper to observe and enjoy, but we always focus on the dark spots. Our life is filled with love and care, and we always have reasons to celebratenature renewing itself every day, our friends around us, the job that provides our livelihood, the miracles we see every day”In fact, we insist on focusing only on the dark spotsthe health issues that bother us, the lack of money, the plicated relationship with a family member, the disappointment with a friend, etc. Take your eyes away from the black spots in your life. The dark spots are very small pared to everything we have in our lives, so enjoy each moment that life gives you.24. Why did the students feel confused about the test? A.

Remember you cant see all the things in life.COne of the questions surrounding climate change is how it might affect the food supply for a growing global population. A new study suggests that researchers have been overlooking how two key human responses to climatehow much land people choose to farm, and the number of crops they plantwill affect food production in the future. The new study focused on the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso, an emerging（新兴的）global breadbasket（产粮地区）that as of 2013 supplied 10 percent of the worlds soybeans. The researchers used variations in temperature and precipitation（降水）across the state over an eight-year period to estimate the sensitivity of the regions agricultural production to climate change. Those historical parisons can help in making predictions about the sensitivity of agriculture to future climate change.The study found that, if the patterns from 2002 to 2008 hold in the future, an increase in average temperature in Mato Grosso of just 1 degree will lead to a 9 to 13 percent reduction in overall production of soy and corn. “This is worrisome given that the temperature in the study region is predicted to rise by 2 degrees by 2050,” said Avery Cohn, who led the study.Most studies of this kind look only at the extent to which climate shocks affect crop output. But researchers can miss critical dynamics（动力）that can affect overall output, says Leah VanWey, one of the studys senior authors. “If you look at output alone, youre not looking at all of the information because there are economic and social changes going on as well,” said VanWey.If output decreases, farmers may put less land area into production because its not profitable. Farmers may also vary the number of crops they plant in a growing season. Double cropping is mon in Mato Grosso. But if the weather is bad, farmers may change their decision to plant a second crop.28. The value of the new study lies in _.A. increasing the number of crops people plantB. focusing on an emerging global breadbasketC. making predictions about human responses to climate changeD. controlling peoples choice of their farming area and crop numbers29. According to Avery Cohn, by 2050, the overall production of soy and corn will _.A. remain almost unchangedB. decrease by more than 9%C. increase by from 9% to 13%D. decrease by more than 18%30. What can we know about the similar studies mentioned in paragraph 3?A. They cant provide exact information to farmers.B. They dont take into consideration some key factors.C. Their discouraging results largely affect overall crop output.D. They pay too much attention to economic and social changes.31. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Farmers possible reactions to climate shocks.B. Possible climate change in Mato Grosso.C. The benefits of double cropping in Mato Grosso.D. Farmers decision on planting crops in the future.DIt is believed that some of animals think a great deal. Many of them are like children in their sports. Some birds are very lively in their sports; and the same is true with some insects. The ants, hardworking as they are, have their times for play. They run races; they wrestle; and sometimes they have mock fights together. Very busy must be their thoughts while engaged in these sports.Animals think much while building their houses. The bird searches for what it can use in building its nest, and in doing this it thinks. The beavers think as they build their dams and their houses. They think in getting their materials, and also in arranging them, and in plastering them together with mud. Some spiders build houses which could scarcely have been made except by some thinking creature.As animals think, they learn. Some learn more than others. The parrot learns to talk, though in some other respects it is quite stupid. The mocking bird learns to imitate a great many different sounds. The shepherd dog does not know as much about most things as some other dogs, and yet he understands very well how to take care of sheep.Though animals think and learn, they do not make any real improvement in their ways of doing things, as men do. Each kind of bird has its own way of building a nest, and it is always the same way. They have no new fashions, and learn none from each other.It is plain that, while animals learn about things by their senses as we do, they do not think nearly as much about what they learn, and this is the reason why they do not improve more rapidly. Even the wisest of them, as the elephant and the dog, do not think very much about what they see and hear. Nor is this all. There are some things that we understand, but about which animals know nothing. They have no knowledge of anything that happens outside of their own observation. Their minds are so much unlike ours that they do not know the difference between right and wrong.32. Why does the author mention that some birds and insects are very lively in their sports?A. To illustrate that some animals probably think in the sports.B. To tell us that some birds and insects are more lively than others.C. To show us that ants are the cleverest insects in the animal kingdom.D. To attract readers by introducing some interesting facts about animals.33. “Animals think much while building their houses” because _. A. they have to municate with each other in getting their materialB. they have to calculate something to arrange all the materialC. no animals have a must to build a “house” except some thinking creaturesD. it is unimaginable to build “houses” without thinking work involved34. The underlined word plain in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by _.A. flatB. clearC. vitalD. reasonable 35. The author will probably agree that _.A. animals cant think as a matter of factB. animals cant really learn to do somethingC. animals can think and learn but limitedlyD. each kind of animal has their own language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。If you stayed up or had a bad night of sleep last night, you know its difficult to stay awake in class today.
