    (2013·高考新课标全国卷Ⅱ，B)In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theatre in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
    It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness，Richard Burton，Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras(交响乐团)．It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.
    At the same time，the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years.
    Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little­known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
    Today the“Fringe”，once less recognized，has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre，music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts.And yet as early as 1959，with only 19 theatre groups performing，some said it was getting too big.
    A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.
    小题1:What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?
    A．To bring Europe together again.
    B．To honor heroes of World War Ⅱ.
    C．To introduce young theatre groups.
    D．To attract great artists from Europe.
    小题2:Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?
    A．They owned a public house there.
    B．They came to take up a challenge.
    C．They thought they were also famous.
    D．They wanted to take part in the festival.
    小题3:Who joined the“Fringe”after it appeared?
    A．Popular writers.
    B．University students.
    C．Artists from around the world.
    D．Performers of music and dance.
    小题4:We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival________.
    A．has become a non­official event
    B．has gone beyond an art festival
    C．gives shows all year round

    His eyes nearly in tears from the crush of fellow travelers at Guangzhou's train station, Hong Tao said things were much better on Sunday, after days of waiting for a train to his home in Hubei province.
    "I think it's fine today, and everything is going smoothly," the 28-year-old said. "I thought it would be really crowded but it has turned out to be OK."
    Chinese authorities say they expect 1.3 million people to travel out of Guangzhou's train station over the next few days, as they rush to get home by Wednesday, the eve of Lunar New Year.
    Hong's optimism may have been helped by the blue skies that emerged over Guangzhou on Sunday for the first time in a week.
    Last week, a rare winter storm paralyzed China's transportation system as millions tried to get home to celebrate the holiday — the only chance for many migrant workers to see their families all year.
    China's state-run Xinhua news agency said Friday that 95 percent of rail traffic had "returned to normal." But Guangzhou's train station remained packed with a backlog of hundreds of thousands of travelers hoping to get home for the holiday.
    A young woman was stepped on in a stampede (人群蜂拥) at the train station Friday, and later died of her injuries, according to Xinhua. Video of the situation on Friday showed crowds of people screaming, elbowing each other, in some cases sobbing and collapsing in the rush to get a slot (狭缝，窄孔) on a train.
    China Sunday announced it has organized over 300,000 People's Liberation Army forces to southern China in what it described as a "war on winter weather".
    The government also announced a $700 million plan to help farmers whose crops have been destroyed.
    6. How many days is it from the day this article was made to the Lunar New Year?
    A. Two days.         B. Three days.               C. Four days.         D. Five days.
    7. What can we know about the weather condition of last week in Guangzhou?
    A. Sunny with blue sky.               B. Rainy for a whole week.
    C. Heavily snowy.                       D. Rainy first and snowy now.
    8. Why are there so many passengers in Guangzhou’s train station?
    A. Because the heavy snow stopped the passengers from leaving the station.
    B. Because the passengers didn’t hope to leave the station right now.
    C. Because the passengers hoped to leave for their hometown.
    D. Because the holiday was coming near.
    9. Where is Hong Tao from?
    A. Shandong province.                B. Hubei province.
    C. Guandong province.                      D. Not mentioned.
    10. What can we infer from the passage?
    A. On Friday, a young man was dead because of crowds’ elbowing, screaming.
    B. China’s Government have arranged the PLA forces to help.
    C. The government of China have offered money to help farmers enjoy the new year.
    D. Many crops have been destroyed by the crowds of people.

    Should we allow modern buildings to? be built next to older buildings in a historic area of  a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons for example, economic (经济的) reasons-why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?
    In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
    It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的)and do not like change.
    Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward . If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves . Thus , I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different , even though that might be the more risky choice.
    小题1:What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?
    A．Some of them are not attractive.
    B．Most of them ate too expensive to preserve.
    C．They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
    D．They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
    小题2:Which of the following is true according to the author ?
    A．We should reproduce the same old buildings.
    B．Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.
    C．Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
    D．No one understands why people speak against new buildings.
    小题3:By “move things forward ” in the last paragraph , the author probably means“     ”
    A．Destroy old buildings
    B．Put things in a different place
    C．Choose new architectural styles
    D．Respect people’s feelings for historical buildings
    小题4:What is the main purpose of the passage?
    A．To explain why people dislike change.
    B．To warn that we could end up living in caves.
    C．To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
    D．To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.

    Finland (芬兰) is perhaps the most beautiful and mysterious country of Northern Europe. Two-thirds of its surface is covered with thick forests. Relative to its size, Finland has more lakes than any other country. The northern part of this country is inside the Arctic Circle, where almost no trees can grow because of its cold weather and the people use their deer of transport, clothing and food.
    The Finnish history began in the Middle Ages. In about 1155, Finland was conquered (侵略) by its western neighbor Sweden (瑞典). After a period of rule by Denmark (丹麦) in the 14th century, the Swedes won back independence and power in 1523 under their brave king. During the Napoleonic (拿破仑的) Wars (1804-1818) Finland was passed finally from Sweden to Russia. The opportunity came in 1917, when the Russian Revolution brought foreign rule of Finland to an end. Shortly after Soviet Russia made peace with Germany, 1919 saw the founding of the Finnish Republic.
    The years between the First and Second World Wars were years of progress and growing development. Finland is the fifth largest country in Europe, and despite a relatively small population of 5.2 million, the market potential is much greater. Finland has no coal or oil, and the nation’s wealth lies in the timber from its forests, which supplies material for paper and furniture making, and in the electric power from its water. Finland is an excellent gateway to trading with Russia and the Baltic States because of a long history of trading with these marks. Finland has also enjoyed a strong and long-Finland’s accession to the European Union in January 1995.
    小题1:From the passage, we learn that Finland _______.
    A．lies inside the Arctic Circle
    B．lies east of Sweden
    C．is next to the countries of northern Europe
    D．is entirely covered with forests and lakes
    小题2:Finland must have been under the control of _______ for as long as one hundred years or so.
    A．Russia B．DenmarkC．SwedenD．foreign countries
    小题3:Among natural resources, the Finnish people benefit mainly from _______.
    A．coal and oilB．forests and waterC．paper and furnitureD．timber and power industry
    小题4:What does the underlined word “timber” probably mean?
    A．Fruits.B．Wood.C．Animals.D．Money.

    You may not be aware, but digital currency (货币) is a big part of the Internet world. QQ Coins can buy you accessories (配饰) for your QQ images. More importantly, a new digital currency, Bitcoin, is bringing the world’s commerce online.
    If you’re traveling, you can spend Bitcoins at restaurants and hotels listed at BitcoinTravel.com. In China, Bitcoins can be used to buy goods at about 134 online shops on Taobao. And at a café named 2nd Place in Beijing, you can even buy fresh coffee with Bitcoins.
    So what makes Bitcoin so attractive to investors?
    First of all, the Bitcoin system is not controlled by anyone. One central authority cannot make policies to change the value of Bitcoins. The fixed amount of Bitcoins also means they cannot lose value through inflation(通货膨胀), as all forms of paper money have done over time.
    In addition, accounts in the Bitcoin system are anonymous and transparent. Users can set up an account easily and track every Bitcoin. All of these features seem to make Bitcoins immune(有免疫力的) from loss, but that is not entirely true.
    “The value of Bitcoins can vary wildly as no central government makes the price of them steady. If the value drops suddenly, investors cannot get any compensation(赔偿),” Zhao Qingming, a senior researcher at China Construction Bank, told China Economic Weekly. And Bitcoins, unlike company shares, are not backed by any tangible funds, which also adds to their risk.
    While China will not recognize the digital currency anytime soon, Xinhua said, lawmakers and officials at a hearing on Nov. 18 in the US made positive comments about Bitcoin.
    Ben Bernanke, outgoing chairman of the Federal Reserve, told the Washington Post that “these types of creations, such as Bitcoin… may hold long-term promise, particularly if its system promote a faster, more secure and more efficient payment system.”
    小题1:Bitcoin is ______.
    A. actually exactly like QQ Coins
    B. only used online 
    C. a new currency used both online and in real life
    D a country’s new digital currency.
    小题2:We can use Bitcoin to buy the following things except ______.
    A．online goodsB．goods at 134 online shops on Taobao
    C．books in physical shopsD．coffee at a café named 2nd Place
    小题3:What is the disadvantage of Bitcoin?
    A．the value of it can rise and fall wildly.
    B．It cannot lose value through inflation.
    C．Every bitcoin in your account can be followed.
    D．It can even be used at some specific restaurants and hotels.

       There is probably no field of human activity in which our values and lifestyles are shown more clearly and strongly than they are in the clothes that we choose to wear.The dress of an individual is a kind of “sign language” that communicates a set of information and is usually the basis on which immediate impressions are formed.Traditionally,a concern for clothes was considered to be an affair of females,while men took pride in the fact that they were completely lacking in clothes consciousness(意识).
    This type of American culture is by degrees changing as man dress takes on greater variety and color.Even as early as 1955,a researcher in Michigan said that men attached rather high importance to the value of clothing in daily life. White collar workers in particular viewed dress as a symbol(象征)of ability,which could be used to impress or influence others,especially in the work situation.The white collar worker was described as extremely concerned about the impression his clothing made on his superiors(上司).Although blue collar workers were less aware(察觉到的)that they might be judged on the basis of their clothing,they recognized that any difference from the accepted pattern of dress would be made fun of by fellow workers.
    Since that time,of course,the patterns have changed:the typical office worker may now be wearing the blue shirt,and the laborer a white shirt;but the importance of dress has not become less.Other researchers in recent years have helped to prove its importance in the lives of individuals at various age levels and in different social and economic status groups(阶层).
    小题1:The passage tells us that _______.
    A．our values and lifestyles are in no field of human activity
    B．the clothes that we choose to wear have something to do with our values and lifestyles
    C．our values and lifestyles are from the sign language

    A．men cared very much for clothes

    D．neither men nor women showed interest in clothes
    小题3:Blue collar workers pay attention to their clothes because _______.
    A．they are concerned about the impression their clothes make on their superiors
    B．they know very clearly that people will judge them on the basis of their clothing
    C．they want to impress and influence others
    D．they don’t want to be laughed at
    小题4:Which of the following can best explain the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?
    A．Men thought the value of clothing in daily life was very important.
    B．Men didn’t pay attention to the importance of the value of clothing in daily life.
    C．Men thought little of the importance of the value of clothing in daily life.
    D．Men were concerned little about the value of clothing in daily life.

    A．now men pay more attention to their clothes than women do
    B．women always like beautiful dresses
    C．people have paid more and more attention to the importance of dress
    D．American culture is changing greatly

    Art museums are places where people can learn about various cultures. The increasingly popular "design museums" that are opening today, however, perform quite a different role. Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the center of the hall
    Pele have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales-it is the honoring of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale.
    One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhihits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work and look as they do, and how design has improved the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something between their understanding.
    In recent years, several new design museums have opened their door. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public’s growing interest in the field with new ideas. London's Design Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums seem far less strict than those to art museums, and visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected in our everyday life.
    小题1:Showcases in design museums are different from store windows because they＿．
    A．show more technologically advanced products
    B．help increase the sales of products
    C．show why the products have sold well
    D．attract more people than store windows do
    小题2:The author believes that most design museum visitors＿．
    A．do not admire mass-produced products
    B．are puzzled with technological exhibits
    C．dislike exhibits in art museums
    D．know the exhibits very well
    小题3:The choices open to design museums＿
    A. are not as strict as those to art museums
    B, are not aimed to interest the public
    C. may fail to bring some pleasure to visitors
    D. often contain precious exhibits
    小题4:The best title for this passage is“＿”
    A．The Forms of Design Museums
    B．The Exhibits of Design Museums
    C．The Nature of Design Museums
    D．The Choices Open to Design Museums
