四、One possible version:

The Lantern Festival of this year fell on March 5th. On that day after school, I hurried back home to join in the preparation of the big family feast. Grandparents taught me how to make sweet dumplings while Dad and Mom made dishes. Then came the grandest dinner time. We all agreed that homemade dumplings tasted much sweeter. We chatted happily, enjoying the family togetherness. After the dinner, we went to the park to appreciate the beautiful lanterns, the highlight of this festival. Two huge dragon lanterns especially amazed us and we couldn’t help flashing our cameras. Walking in the park and admiring the beautiful moon, we felt we were so lucky to have each other as a family and valued the time we spent together.

What a fantastic lantern festival!

March 29th, Sunday Fine

Today some classmates and I served at Capital Library as volunteers. At 9 o’clock this morning, we gathered together at the gate of the library. After getting into the library, we were first trained by a librarian on how to operate the computers to borrow or return books so that we could help readers later. Then, wearing the volunteer uniform and volunteer identity card, we got down to our work. Some of us helped with shelving books and some offered assistance to the people who had problems with using the computers. All of us took our tasks seriously and tried to do them well.

Time passed quickly. Before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye to the staff. On the way back, we shared our feelings happily. When doing voluntary work, we did our part in helping others. Meanwhile, it promoted our social awareness. We all believe volunteering is rewarding and look forward to more of it.

It might sound unbelievable that two kids under the age of ten would choose to hang out at a hotel instead of going to Disney World, just minutes away, but that’s exactly what happened when we visited the new Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort last month. What kind of a hotel makes kids forget about Disney World? Check In: As I was signing the necessary paperwork at the front desk, my kids were taken away by Wayne, the receptionist, to a large interactive map of the resort in the entrance hall. Wayne used the touch screen to show the kids the entire resort and talked about all of the fun things to do, like the kid’s club, the waterslides, and the game room. I’ve never seen so much attention paid to the kids at check-in — such a cool touch. The Room: Not only were there kid-sized robes in the room, there were play things, NatGeo Kids magazines, chocolate lollypops, and milk chilling in the refrigerator. Plus, the room was designed from a family perspective. The sinks and shower settings were easily reachable, and the king bed and very comfortable sofa pull-out could easily fit a family of four, if not five. We had plenty of room. The Pools: There’s a large shallow infinity pool. There’s a meandering lazy river. There’s a water park. There’s an area for pool volleyball and basketball. And there are two very fun waterslides. We spent many hours roaming among them all, and just hanging out in a private teepee-shaped cabana next to the waterslides. So fun! No Surcharges: There’s no resort fee. If you want to use one of the cool cabanas around the pools, it’s included. For the kids club, you can use it as much or as little as you want to and the Hideout game room has a lot of activities, like pinball, at no cost. We took advantage of pretty much everything around the hotel except for the spa, and our final bill only showed our room charges, taxes, and meals. And if my kids were still under five, their meals would have been free. 56. The passage is written by the author mainly to ________. A. advertise a hotel at Walt Disney World Resort B. introduce the good service Walt Disney provides C. recall the experience that they once had in a hotel D. share information about a hotel near Disney World 57. Customers don’t need to pay for ________ when they stay in the hotel. A. cool cabanasB. rooms C. the spa D. taxes58. What can we learn from the passage?

B. The two kids of the author should have been over five years old. C. The author spent hours playing pool volleyball and basketball. D. The receptionist showed children around Disney World Resort.

More than 100 million people in Nigeria are not connected to the Internet. There are only a few networks that offer service and it is costly and undependable. Now, a new project provides a resource for offline viewing at no cost. A non-profit organization called The WiderNet Project has developed the offline eGranary Digital Library. The service puts millions of digital documents, multimedia work and websites onto a server. The information is then available to students, medical workers, and researchers at no cost, whether there is Internet or not. Users can access informative websites that eGranary updates every day such as Wikipedia, Khan Academy, Project Gutenberg, MIT OpenCourseWare, and MIT BLOSSOMS (which is Math and Science video lessons for high school students). Other resources on the service include university and medical publications, computer software, and educational games. Ahmadu Bello University, the largest university in Nigeria and the second largest in Africa, uses eGranary’s digital educational resources. Kasa Mathias, head of the school’s database department, says students can access tens of thousands of educational materials without much problem. ―We give them background information on the available databases that they can use for their research work, their assignments, especially projects, and sometimes we will carry through sensitizing (激活) on new databases that are available for them.‖ Ibitoye Idowu, a first-year student of archeology, says easy access to university reading material, documents and journals has greatly helped his studying process, and that in some cases, he understands the digital materials better than class lectures. Students now have great reading material, but only when there is electric power. It often fails. Student Ibitoye Idowu says those moments are difficult. Muhammed Mu’azu who leads the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department says the university has spent a large amount of money on access to information, which is available for 40,000 students and teachers. ―With or without Internet access students and staff have most of these educational databases and university has also invested a lot in Internet access so even for online materials they are readily available for staff and students anywhere you are in the university campus.‖ There are fears that students may waste time on social media networks like Facebook and Twitter instead of spending it on school work. Professor Mu’azu says the university needs to be careful about placing restrictions on usage. But he says it will investigate what a user is accessing if a large amount of bandwidth is used. Muhammed Mu’azu compares the speed of the offline service to access over the Internet. The eGranary server can download hundreds of pages in less than 15 minutes. In the past, a 10-page document would take hours to download. WiderNet says it aims to expand to thousands more education and health centers around the world. 59. The eGranary Digital Library is mainly intended for ________. A. poor people in NigeriaB. Ahmadu Bello University C. teachers and staff of a university D. people who can’t access the Internet 60. The underlined word ―them‖ in Paragraph 5 probably refers to ________. A. educational materialsB. available databases C. assignments and projects D. university students 61. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Offline eGranary Digital Library is available to over 100 million people in Nigeria now. B. A university needs to pay for the service of eGranary Digital Library to offer it to students. C. The power supply becomes the main challenge students face when using offline project. D. Education and health centers in the world will all use eGranary’s digital educational resources.

Scientists have known for decades that having measles (麻疹) suppresses kids’ immune systems for several weeks or months, leaving them ill-equipped to fight off pneumonia, bronchitis and other infections. Now a team of researchers has suggested that the measles virus may also leave a longer-lasting sort of ―immune-amnesia‖ that makes it harder for people to other illnesses for two years or more. 疫苗), said biologist Michael Mina, lead author of a paper that was published in the journal Science. ―There may be a long-lasting impact that you can’t undo if your child gets measles,‖ he said. ―I hope this study can impress upon people the danger measles poses.‖ The resear(来自:www.Zw2.cn 爱 作文 网)chers used what Mina called ―an unconventional approach‖ to search for the long-lasting immune system effects. Previous work in monkeys suggested that monkeys with the disease lost white blood cells their bodies had trained to fight off other illnesses, leaving them more likely to be infected. To test if a similar thing may occur in humans, the group mined historical data to find out the relationship between measles incidence (发病率) and deaths from other infectious diseases. They turned to data from England and Wales — developed nations where disease levels are generally low, allowing a less-confused view of measles’ effects. Studying measles incidence and deaths from infectious disease both before and after the introduction of the measles vaccine in the U.K. in the 1960s, Mina and the team saw a sort of shadow effect, where

population, the more deaths from other illnesses in the 28-month period that followed. ―Really it didn’t matter what age group, what decade or what country,‖ said Mina. ―They all showed consistent results … what we’re suggesting happens over the long term is that your immune system works fine, but it has forgotten what it previously learned.‖ Some researchers who were not involved in the work questioned whether the reductions in deaths as measles cases declined may have had more to do with improving nutrition and smaller family size than with prolonged immune suppression. Others thought the paper’s opinion of years-long suppression was seemingly reasonable but said they could not comment on the mathematical models the group used. To know for certain what was behind the effect the group saw, Mina agreed, scientists would need to look at immune cells and observe their behavior. He said he would like to push the work in a more traditional direction: back into the laboratory. 62. Why did Mina call their research method ―an unconventional approach‖? A. Their research was based on the historical data. B. Their research compared monkeys with humans. C. They only paid attention to developed nations.

D. They discovered a sort of shadow effect. 63. According to Mina, what is the significance of their research? A. They warned people that measles can result in other infectious diseases. B. They carried out the research on measles in an unconventional approach. C. They showed how dangerous measles is and the importance of vaccination. D. They found out the disease levels are generally low in developed nations.. 64. The underlined phrase ―stave off‖ in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________. A. keep away B. survive from C. search for D. turn down 65. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage? A. Measles has been the origin of other diseases and deaths B. New research conducted into measles has been widely questioned C. Study points to years-long immune system misfortunes from measles D.

Svetlana Alexandrovna Alexievich, born on 31 May 1948, is a Belarusian investigative journalist and non-fiction prose writer, writing in Russian. She was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature ―for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time‖. She is the first writer from Belarus to receive the award. Alexievich grew up in Belarus. After finishing school she worked as a reporter in several local newspapers before graduating from Belarusian State University and becoming a journalist for the literary magazine Neman in Minsk. She went on to a career in journalism and writing narratives from interviews with witnesses to the most dramatic events in the country, such as World War II, the Soviet–Afghan War, the fall of the Soviet Union, and the Chernobyl disaster. After political persecution (迫害) by the Lukashenko administration, she left Belarus in 2000. The International Cities of Refuge Network offered her shelter and during the following decade she lived in Paris, Gothenburg and Berlin. In 2011, Alexievich moved back to Minsk. According to Russian writer and critic Dmitry Bykov, her books owe much to the ideas of Belarusian writer Ales Adamovich, who felt that the best way to describe the horrors of the 20th century was not by creating fiction but through recording the evidence of witnesses. Belarusian poet Uladzimir Nyaklyayew called Adamovich ―her literary godfather‖. He also named the documentary novel I’m from the Burned Village by Ales Adamovich, Janka Bryl and Uladzimir Kalesnik, about the villages burned by the Nazi troops during the occupation of Belarus, as the main single book that has influenced Alexievich’s attitude to literature. Alexievich admitted the influence of Adamovich and added, among others, Belarusian writer Vasil Byka? as another source of impact on her. Her most notable works in English translation include a collection of first-hand accounts from the war in Afghanistan (Zinky Boys: Soviet Voices from a Forgotten War) and a highly praised oral history of the Chernobyl disaster (Voices from Chernobyl). Alexievich describes the theme of her works this way: If you look back at the whole of our history, both Soviet and post-Soviet, it is a huge common grave and a blood bath. An eternal dialogue of the executioners and the victims. The accursed Russian questions: what is to be done and who is to blame. The revolution, the gulags, the Second World War, the Soviet–Afghan war hidden from the people, the downfall of the great empire, the downfall of the giant socialist land, the land-utopia, and now a challenge of cosmic dimensions — Chernobyl. This is a challenge for all the living things on earth. Such is our history. And this is the theme of my books, this is my path, my circles of hell, from man to man. Her first book, War’s Unwomanly Face, came out in 1985. It was repeatedly reprinted and sold more than two million copies. The book was finished in 1983 and published (in short edition) in Oktyabr, a Soviet monthly literary magazine, in February 1984. In 1985, the book was published by several publishers, and the number of printed copies reached 2,000,000 in the next five years. This novel is made up of monologues (独白) of women in the war speaking about the aspects of World War II that had never been related before. Another book, The Last Witnesses: the Book of Unchildlike Stories, describes personal memories of children during war time. The war seen through women’s and children’s eyes revealed a new world of feelings. In 1993, she published Enchanted with Death, a book about attempted and completed suicides due to the downfall of the Soviet Union. Many people felt inseparable from the Communist ideology and unable to accept the new order surely and the newly interpreted history.
