It’s a five-day celebration that includes good food，fireworks，colored sand，and special candles and lamps.In honor of Lakshmi，the Hindu goddess of wealth，people make special prayers on the first day to obtain blessings for welfare，succcss，and well-being. People welcome the goddess into their homes by decorating entrances with colorful lanterns and traditional designs. In addition，many people treat themselves to fine jewelry，praying for good fortune. Those who cannot afford so much，seek out cheaper items such as clothes or householdgoods.The second day of the festival is called Kali Chaudas. For some，the day provides an opportunity to drive away misfortune from homes and businesses. They decorate their homes with clay lamps and create design patterns called rangoli on the floor using colored powder or sand.The third day is when the biggest celebrations occur，which begin early in the morning with a visit to a temple to seek the blessings of the goddess. As the sun sets，festival observers light up their homes with small lamps and enjoy delicious traditional foods with their loved ones.The festival’s fourth day is celebrated in many different ways. Friends and relatives visit with gifts，sweets and best wishes for the season.And the final day of the festival is called Bhai Oooj. It honors the close bond between brothers and sisters and is observed with traditional ceremonies and more delicious food.For children in India，Diwali is similar to Christmas. They get all entire week off from school and are treated to gifts，new clothes，amazing food，and，in the past at least，a large number of fireworks. It is no wonder that the festival ranks high among the country’s favorite celebrations.4．People celebrate the first day of Diwali mainly for______.A．good fortune. B．colorful lanternsC．expensive jewelry D．traditional designs5．What’s the probable purpose of creating“rangoli”on the floor?A．To design traditional patterns. B．To produce colored powder or sand.C．To help get rid of bad luck. D．To produce an opportunity in business.6．What is a man likely to do on the last day of the festival?A．Exchange gifts and best wishes with his loved ones.B．Be busy decorating his home during the day.C．Get together with his sisters and brothers.D．Light up his home with small lamps.7．Which of the following may not be a reason for children’s love of Diwali?A．Having a week off. B．Getting Christmas gifts.C．Enjoying amazing food. D．Setting off fireworks.CFor top students from low-income families，the challenge of applying to colleges is particularly difficult. 1 in 4 deal with all of that—the writing，the studying，the researching and applying—completely on their own. One approach to make this whole process easier? Pair students up with an adviser.That’s the idea behind CollegePoint，an initiative to help gifted students go to schools that match their intellectual(智力的)ability. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSA T，SAT or ACT——and they score in the 90th percentile，and their families make less than$80，000 a year，they get an email from the program offering them a free adviser. The advisers listen，guide and answer students’questions.Connor Rechtzigel，an adviser in Minnesota，sees the importance of his role，for research shows thatlow-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don’t think they have what it takes to get in and because many don’t even know what schools are out there. He helped high school senior Justice Benjamin，the first in his family to apply to college，think about what his ideal learning experience was. Finally，Justice narrowed in on smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choice：Skidmore College in New York. He felt empowered by the process.Figuring out how to pay for college is a major part of what，CollegePoint advisers do. Nakhle，an adviser in North Carolina，is working with Hensley，an Ohio high school senior who can’t get extra financial help from her family. They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing her financial-aid award letters，which made her decision much clearer. Finally，the Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing. Staying in-statewasn’t her first choice，but it was the best option for her.8．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．How CollegePoint works. B．The goal of CollegePoint.C．Ways to apply for a free adviser. D．The challenge of choosing colleges.9．What prevents low-income students from attending proper colleges?A．Overestimating their abilities. B．Knowing little about colleges.C．Lack of enough learning experience. D．Failure to get support from their families.10．Why did Hensley finally choose the Ohio State University?A．She didn’t want to stay far from home.B．Her favorite major was provided there.C．She would show her talents to the full.D．The university met her financial needs.11．What is the best title for the text?A．How to Be a Financial AdviserB．Steps for Top Students to Select Ideal CollegesC．Advisers Help Poor Students Apply to Suitable CollegesD．CollegePoint—a Program Helping Students Score HighDOne of the most popular beliefs in parenting is the so﹣called Mozart effect，which says that listening to music by the Austrian composer Wolfgang Mozart can increase a child's intelligence．Some pregnant women have even gone so far as to play Mozart recordings on headphones pressed against their bellies．And it's not hard to see how Mozart's name became associated with accelerated development．He was history's greatest child genius，performing astonishing music for kings and queens at an age when many of us were content with tuneless singing "I'm a Little Teapot"．So，if you have kids or you're expecting to have them，how seriously should you take the Mozart effect？Will the child who doesn't listen to Mozart in the cradle （摇篮）be limited to an ordinary life？Are you a bad parent if your kids don't know about any works of Mozart？Relax．There is no scientific evidence that listening to Mozart improves children's cognitive abilities．The whole idea comes from a small study done in 1993，which found that college students who listened to Mozart's Sonata for Two Pianos in D Major （K 448）showed some improvement in a test of spatial （空间的）skills．This finding was later described as something extremely amazing by a musician，Don Campbell，in a book．Campbell's claims about the super powers of Mozart's music were repeated endlessly in the media and fueled a craze for Mozart﹣based enrichment activities．In 1998，for example，the governor of Georgia in the USA requested funds to send classical﹣music CDs to all parents of newborns in the state．Since then，scientists have examined the claim that Mozart increases intelligence and found no evidence for it．The original experiment with college students was reviewed in 1999，and the increase in the students' spatial skills was found to be negligible．In 2007 the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research asked a team of experts to examine the scientific literature regarding Mozart and child development，and they found no reason to believe that it increased intelligence．12．People relate Mozart to children's intelligence development because he．A．owned extraordinary music talent.B．could perform music as a child.C．offered music to pregnant women.D．was an royal Austrian composer.13．What can we know about the small study in 1993？A．It added to the popularity of Mozart's music．B．It found no evidence for supporting Mozart effect．C．It helped college students make academic progress．D．It urged Georgia's governor to spread classical music．14．What does the underlined word "negligible" probably mean？A．Sudden．B．Insignificant．C．Average．D．Steady．15．What can be the best title for the text？A．New Findings：Mozart Effect to Be Proved.B．Secrets Uncovered：History of Mozart Effect.C．Does Listening to Mozart Make Kids Smarter？D．How Does Mozart Improve Kids' Intelligence？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。
