AAwesome Renaissance FestivalsThe Renaissance（复兴）is often romanticized in books. But there’s a specific type of live event that caters to（迎合）those who want to pretend they’re walking through the 16th-century England.Texas Renaissance FestivalThe Texas Renaissance Festival is the largest event of its kind in the country. It takes place over nine weekends in Todd Mission. When it first started over four decades ago, the festival drew 30,000 people. Now, it sees over a half-million attendees during its run each October and November. Each weekend has a different theme to keep happenings fresh for repeat visitors.Sterling Renaissance FestivalThe Sterling Renaissance Festival, held on weekends in July and August, takes place in Warwick, which has been created to look like a 16th century English town. Actors play the role of real historical figures like Queen Elizabeth I. The performers not only play on stages, but also wander around interacting with attendees. This gives the Sterling festival more of a “living history” feel than other similar events.Bristol Renaissance FaireThe Bristol Renaissance Faire is held in July and August. Like Sterling, this one is set during the period of Elizabeth I. An actor playing the part of the famous English ruler makes an appearance with her “court” each year. Other actors also take part in the Bristol Faire. Many of these performers are professionals from Second City and the Players Workshop.Arizona Renaissance FestivalRenaissance festivals are often summertime affairs. But that’ s not the case in Arizona, where the Arizona Renaissance Festival kicks off in February and runs through the end of March. This helps the fest-goers avoid the hot Southwest summertime, and it also allows for special themed weekends. The Renaissance Festival is a big attraction here, drawing about 250,000 people per year.21. Where can visitors enjoy the largest Renaissance Festival?A. In Warwick.B. In Second City.C. In Todd Mission.D. In Arizona.22. What makes Sterling Renaissance Festival special?A. People can see “Queen Elizabeth I”.B. It is held on weekends in July and August.C. It gives peo ple more of a “living history” feel.D. It takes place in a town built in the 16th century.23. Which festival takes place in spring?A. Bristol Renaissance Faire.B. Texas Renaissance Festival.C. Sterling Renaissance Festival.D. Arizona Renaissance Festival.BHalfway through my warm-up on the course, I stepped aside to relax. I thought back to my middle school football days when the coaches ignored me. The next season, not wasting my time, I stayed away from football and joined the cross country team to adapt to the bitterly cold indoor basketball season. At that time, I found a coach who believed in me.Before this race, he and I had discussed the front-running, and decided to stick to our plan: Lead a race from the start.Fifteen minutes later—BOOM—the gun exploded. Hundreds of runners rushed out.I was in the middle of a pack of the most talented runners in Ohio. Slowly, I made my way through the pack as everyone began to fall into his pace. By the time we made the turn, I had settled into third place.Suddenly, I slipped and fell to the ground on the wet grass! No one stopped to help. Quickly, I got up and sped back up to catch up with the lead two, but hundreds of runners came right along with me.Gradually, the field of runners began to thin out with me leading the way. Two miles down, only one to go, I picked up the pace. I exploded at top speed toward the finish line. One hundred meters. Fifty meters. Twenty meters. Ten meters. Raising my fists in excitement, I crossed the two blue timing carpets. Boom! A time of 16: 14 lit up the big screen with my name and school next to it in first place. I completed my dream of winning a state title !Like Arthur Lydiard once said, “In every little village in the world, there are great potential champions who only need motivation.” Six years ago, I went from being a nobody, standing on the football sidelines, to becoming a somebody: a state cross country champion.24.

On the Road All the WayCIn hot summers, we often use electric fans to cool off. It is thought that the fans are cheap to buy and can save more electricity than air conditioners. But believe it or not, electric fans do more harm than good in the fight against heat.Most people would ask “how’s that possible?” Well, as cruel as it may seem, the very fan you’re using could actually be increasing the temperature in your home, depending on how you’re using it.As is the case with anything with a motor, fans heat up w hile they’ re in use and indirectly warm the area around them as a result. While the current （流） of air your fan creates and blows in your direction might give off the appearance of cooling you down, what you’ re actually feeling is the disappearance of sweat on your skin. Though this may offer some comf ort, it won’ t do much when temperaturesrise.“Fans may provide comfort, but they won’ t prevent heat-related illness when the temperature is in the high 90s,” says Michael McGeehin, PhD, MSPH.This isn’t the only way your fan use could be contrib uting to the heat in your home. While traditional fans only raise the temperature in your home slightly, if you don’ t use your ceiling fan strategically, you can cause your home to heat up significantly.“Ceiling fans have a perfect direction for summ er and another one for winter, which can make your home colder or warmer, depending on your preferences,” explains Alleckna. “On hot days, ceiling fans should run in the counterclockwise（逆时针）direction. The summer mode will make your ceiling fan suck the warm air up and push the cold air down.”If you have no option but to use a box fan to stay cool, remember its placement can make all the difference. If you want to bring in cooler air and keep the warm air out, place your fan next to a window or door.28. What can we know about electric fans?A. Electric fans are more energy-consuming.B. Having to use electric fans is a cruel thing.C. Electric fans are better than air conditioners.D. Using electric fans may result in higher temperature.29. Which can be used to replace the underlined word “strategically” in paragraph5 ?A. frequentlyB. properlyC. slightlyD. steadily30. What might affect the cooling effect of a ceiling fan?A. Its distance from people.B. Its electric current.C. Its running direction.D. The height of the ceiling.31. What does the author mainly want to express?A. Electric fans can harm the environment.B. Electric fans might cause heat-related illness.C. Different ways to operate different electric fans.D. It isn’t a good choice to use electric fans to cool off.DHealth experts have known for years that kids who grow up on a farm have fewer chances of allergies and asthma（哮喘）than city kids, but continued research is helping them better understand the connection between the immune（免疫）system and bacteria that is only found in that setting.A study compared 30 Amish children and 30 Hutterite children from two farming groups in North Dakota. Researchers chose these children because asthma is rare among the Amish but common among the Hutterites, even though the groups have similar genetic backgrounds and diets and little exposure to tobacco smoke, polluted air and indoor pets. The one key difference lies in their farming methods: The Amish have no electricity and industrialization, while the Hutterites have them. Because of this, the children are exposed to different bacteria.“We never thought we would see a difference,” Carole Ober, an author of thestudy said. “But we saw obvious differences with very different cell types and cell numbers.” The Amish children all had a large part of neutrophils（中性粒细胞）that are part of the so-called immune system. The Amish kids’ neutrophils “were newly c reated”, evidence of a continual low-grade reaction to harmful bacteria. However, the Hutterite kids had “old” neutrophils.Researchers focused on one particular aspect of farm living—the dust. They exposed mice to bacteria found in farm dust. After two weeks, they found that when the mice were exposed to farm dust, they produced a protein in their lungs called A20. When they lost this protein, these mice had a normal allergic response to the dust mites（螨虫）.Researchers confirmed these findings with human surveys where they found that people who suffer from allergies and asthma have a shortage in A20 protein. Finally, they took a look at the kids growing up on farms who develop asthma and allergies. You guessed it—those kids have a change in their A20 gene that prevents the production of A20 protein.These researchers may have opened the door for treatment options for people who suffer from asthma.32. Where does the difference between Amish and Hutterite children lie in?A. Chances to develop asthma.B. Time to be exposed to tobacco smoke.C. The different genetic backgrounds they own.D. The amount of polluted food they take in.33. How did the researchers think about the findings of the study?A. Satisfying.B. Unexpected.C. Exciting.D. Unconvincing.34. What might newly created neutrophils indicate?A. One’ s immune system is destroyed.B. The quality of blood is on the decrease.C. The body is losing the ability to protect itself.D. The body is fighting against harmful bacteria.35. What happened when mice were exposed to farm dust?A. They lost weight quickly.B. Their A20 protein was lost.C. They easily reacted to asthma.D. Their immune system was strengthened.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
