10、ed smashed potatoes! And who wants to roast a whole turkey? Why not braise (燜燒) the turkey legs instead? I used to think these ideas were great until this year when we tried some of them. In fact, we reinvented it so much that it wasn’t even Thanksgiving dinner anymore. We ate chicken with a Parmes

11、an panko crust, roasted carrots, and a salad. For dessert (飯后甜點) we had bourbon pound cake with ice cream. In other words, it was like any other nice meal I’d have at my parents’ house. We had to do this out of necessity. My family runs a wood-fired pizza company that usually shuts down at the begi

12、nning of September, but this fall, it stayed open until Thanksgiving. Its last day of operation(營業(yè))was Saturday, and we had our traditional Thanksgiving meal on Sunday. My whole family were so tired from pizza-making that we had no energy left for a feast. Then our ‘lazy’ Thanksgiving dinner was mad

13、e with what we already had. As usual the meal was delicious and the company pleasant, but it wasn’t until after the weekend that I was left with a sense of loss, as if something were missing. That’s when I realized that, for me, Thanksgiving is very much about the food, and no just the lovely peopl

14、e who share the dinner with me. It’s my one chance to taste dishes that I don’t eat at any other time of year, and that is truly why it’s so special. 24. According to the author, what do cooking magazines usually do every November? A. Call for a change in cooking. B. Hunt for articles

C In Vanuatu, this marathon cultural festival has brought thousands of people together. Although it is one of the Pacific’s biggest cultural festivals, the

18、re is no specific date for Nekowiar, a big event of colour and culture that is a true test of one’s endurance (忍耐力), bringing together thousands of people from some of the most faraway villages on the Vanuatu island of Tanna., Nekowiar, which takes months to prepare, is traditionally held every few

19、 years, but it has been eight years since the last one in 2012. No one knows when or where the next celebration will happen. This isn’t an event for tourists though. Nekowiar has been called a peace-building exercise between warring tribes (部落), and a chance for families to arrange marriages. At th

20、is year’s festival, hundreds of women and girls started the event by singing and dancing a traditional Napen from nightfall to sunrise. They only took breaks when they were too tired to continue. They had trained for months for this. The movements were so powerful that dust(灰塵) rose from the dancer

21、s’ feet. Most of the dancers painted their faces in bright colourful designs that held special importance to their tribes. In the early hours of the third day, the men, teenagers and even young boys had their turn in a dance called Toka. Jimmy Kawiel performed the dance for the first lime this year

22、, "You need more energy for Toka," Mr. Kawiel said. "We’ve been practising for five to six months. It is a very big thing for us, especially when things are developing so fast and we are in danger of losing our culture.” Jean Pascal Wahe, from the Tafea Cultural Centre on Tanna, said the festival w

23、as first held as a reconciliation (和好) event between warring tribes. All the different communities came together to find a way to stop all these wars. 28. What do we know about Nekowiar? A. It’s held every year. B. It has lost its popularity. C. It doesn’t have a fixed date.

25、 Toka? A. It would be lost for sure. B. It’s way too hard for him. C. It should be passed down. D. It’s quite different at the moment. 31. In what situation was the first Nekowiar held? A. When the tribes decided to start a war. B. When the tribes got caught up in fi

26、ghting. C. When the tribes wanted to show off their power. D. When the tribes were worried about their culture. D Of all the animals on Earth, none are so driven to explore as humans. Other animals will go in search of food or water. But humans can be encouraged by the possibility of discovery.

27、So what is it that caused us to spread out across the world 60, 000 years ago, instead of just staying in Africa? Perhaps it’s in our DNA. In 1999, Dr. Chuansheng Chen led a team of scientists who were studying a gene (基因) known as DRD4-7R. This gene is found in about 20% of all humans. It’s been c

28、onnected with higher rates of risk-taking, exploration, and interest in new ideas. Dr. Chen found that DRD4-7R is more common in societies that move around a lot than those who don’t. For example, studies in Africa show that the gene is much more common in nomadic (游牧的) tribes than in tribes that pr

29、efer to stay in one place. Several other researchers have studied this topic and found additional evidence to support Dr. Chen’s research. But can a single gene be a drive for something as complex as the need to explore? Dr. Kenneth Kidd doesn’t think so. He thinks DRD4-7Rmight increase curiosity,

30、but other important sets of genes also give us great minds and skilled hands. He believes that not just one gene, but groups of genes work together to create complex behaviors like exploration. The context we live in also plays a role in our need to explore. For example, during the European Age of

31、Exploration, explorers became rich and famous for their discoveries. This drove others to try to increase their wealth through exploration. In this case, their exploration was more likely driven by money than by genes. Maybe the need to explore comes from something inside us, such as the DRD4-7R ge

32、ne. Or maybe it has more to do with what’s happening in the world around us. Maybe it’s both. Whatever the reason, it seems we (or at least some of us) will keep exploring the mountains, the sea, the stars, and beyond, because that’s just what humans do. 32. What did Dr. Chen find about the DRD4-

33、7R gene? A. It has more influence on Africans. B. It could be found in most humans. C. It prevents people in tribes from exploring. D. It may be more common in people who like taking risks. 33. What does Dr. Kenneth Kidd think of the DRD4-7R gene? A. It is not the only gene to encourage peop

34、le to explore. B. It can drive people to have strange behaviors. C. It is more important than other genes. D. It cannot be found in animals. 34. What did the example of the European Age of Exploration show? A. The purpose of exploring. B. The popularity of exploring. C. The importa

35、nce of the context. D. The big changes of the context. 35. Which of the following shows the organization of the text? P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 P1 P2 P3 P4 P5 A. B. C. D. (P=Paragraph) 第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)

62、dangerous for little boys to go climbing on roofs. I’m very sorry, but we just can’t take that giraffe home. It’s better for him to continue to stay in the zoo where he can play with his friends."
