1．Countries around the world ring in the new year with unique customs and traditions，often carried out at the strike of midnight.We rounded up ways to bring international New Year's Eve experiences to you.
Japan：Eat toshikoshi soba.
Shiwasu is the end-of-the-year period in Japan，filled by many traditions like traveling to see family and thoroughly cleaning your home.To celebrate New Year's Eve，people eat toshikoshi soba，which can symbolize having a long and lucky life along with a clean break from the year.
Spain：Eat 12 grapes.
The tradition of eating grapes for good luck began in Spain，but it is now practised around the world.When the clock starts ringing at midnight，eat one grape with each ring.It's even luckier if you're wearing special New Year's Eve underwear while eating your grapes.A pair of red underwear can bring you a new year of love，while yellow may bring joy and good luck.
Denmark：Jump off a chair.
In Denmark，one does not simply let the new year happen.You go on the offense（討厭的東西） and jump into it.Just before midnight，stop what you're doing and get on a chair to do the jump like a Dane would.Should you forget to jump，it's said that you'll bring bad luck for the following year，so please，we are begging you—do not forget to jump.
Russia：Burn，then drink，your wishes.
After a year of unrealized dreams and plans，set your sights on a fresh start with this Russian tradition.Before midnight，write down your wishes for 2023 on a piece of paper，then light the paper on fire.Once it's stopped burning，sprinkle（灑） the wish-filled ashes into a glass of wine and drink up after the clock strikes midnight.

2．A reentry capsule（太空艙）carrying the crew —— Chen Dong，Liu Yang and Cai Xuzhe —— touched down on Earth at the Dongfeng Landing Site in northwestern China's Gobi Desert after flying nine hours.This has become the first time that Chinese astronauts have returned to Earth at night，which meant low temperatures and low visibility.Many technologies were developed to make sure the Shenzhou - 14 crewed spaceship went back safely.
The temperatures can be tricky.From the moment the spaceship separated from the space station on the way home，it has to start its own thermal （熱 的） control system to keep the temperature between 17 and 25 degrees，an ideal condition for the astronauts.When the spaceship enters Earth' atmosphere，it can cause temperatures of over 1，000 degree Celsius，so the ship has a heat shield on its bottom to protect itself from the high temperature.
High efficient communication is another promise of the safe return.The ground teams including control center in Beijing，landing site and rescue teams use the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System.The rescue helicopters also have a smart system to help predict the path of the reentry capsule during landing.
When the spaceship is 10 kilometers above the ground，the three parachutes （降落傘） will open one after anojye.air.The size of the parachutes will expand from only several square meters to over 1，000 square meters，gradually reducing the spaceship speed from 200 meters per second to seven meters per second，which protects astronauts from gravity force overload. "It's like when we're driving，we need to slow down gradually， "said Rong Wei，chief designer of manned spaceship at the 5th Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group，At the same time，the engine will be ready for a soft landing.
（1）Why was Shenzhou- 14 spaceship's returning different than before？
A．Because the landing site is in the Desert.
B．Because there are less astronauts in Shenzhou- 14.
C．Because the returning time was put off.
D．Because it was cold and dark outside.
（2）What do we know about the temperature change in the capsule？
A．It was controlled to fit astronauts' condition.
B．It was the highest at the very beginning.
C．It went to the frozen point in the atmosphere.
D．It kept dropping before starting the control system.
（3）What is the purpose of using the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System？
A．To design the best landing spot.
B．To assure the location of the capsule.
C．To control the temperature in capsule.
D．To send orders from the capsule.
（4）What is the main idea of the last paragraph？
A．How the engine expanded parachutes.
B．How the gravity force influenced landing.
C．How the landing parachutes worked.
D．How astronauts controlled the landing.組卷：3引用：3難度：0.5 -
3．Festivals are celebrated all around the world.They have a wide range of origins，such as the seasons of the year，religions，famous figures，and important events.Every festival has its different customs and unique charms.However，no matter how different they may seem，all over the world，the spirit of sharing joy，gratitude，love，or peace is common in all festivals.
Of all the traditional festivals，the harvest festival can be found in almost every culture.This important agricultural festival takes place after all the crops have been gathered in.People celebrate to show that they are grateful for the year's supply of food.In ancient Egypt，the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime — the Egyptian harvest season.It featured a parade and a great feast with music，dancing，and sports.Today，in some European countries，people decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit，and get together to celebrate over a meal.During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China，families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious moon cakes.
Customs play a significant role in festivals，but sometimes they can change over time.With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas，some traditions may fade away and others may be established.One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year.Nowadays，many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution.Another example is Halloween，which slowly became an exciting festival for children，in spite of its religious origins.
Festivals are becoming more and more commercial，with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations.Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones.Some believe festivals should not be commercialized，while others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy and public happiness.
Festivals are an important part of society.They reflect people's wishes，beliefs，faiths，and attitudes towards life.They are occasions that allow us to relax and enjoy life，and forget about our work for a little while.They help us understand where we came from，who we are，and what to appreciate.And if you study festivals carefully，you may be surprised to find that different cultures actually have a lot in common after all.
（1）Why do people in different cultures celebrate the harvest festival？
A．It's tradition in their religion.
B．It's a only custom in their culture.
C．It's a way to express their appreciation and cheers.
D．It's a chance for people to enjoy themselves together.
（2）How did some festivals change over time according to the passage？
A．Fireworks can't drive the evil spirits away.
B．Festivals play an important role in commerce.
C．People share information faster than before with society developing.
D．People get gifts easier than before due to the increase of the economy.
（3）What's the writer's attitude towards the commercialization of festivals？

D．Disapproving.
（4）Which statement is NOT true according to the passage？

My husband and I got to experience a total stranger's kindness and generosity first-hand during a 10-day trip across the High Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert.
On our second-to-last day in Morocco，we happily took a trip to Essaouira，an old and beautiful seaside town on the Atlantic.During the journey there，we stopped at an Argan co-operative（合作社），where we got to taste some Argan oil and honey.After that，we headed where we stayed.We arrived at our small guesthouse in Essaouira at around dinnertime，and on our way to a local restaurants my husband started to feel unwell.He went back to our guesthouse while I had dinner with some friends.
When I got back to our guesthouse after dinner，I found my husband sitting on the bathroom floor，looking very pale.He had been sick about six times in an hour.He spent the rest of the night in the bathroom，getting very familiar with the house's pipe.Our main suspect was the Argan honey—it probably didn't agree with him.
At about 6 a.m.，my husband finally managed to leave the bathroom and crawl into bed.He was very weak and dehydrated（脫水的），so I went down to the reception to buy a bottle of water.When I got to the lobby（門廳），I found a young man behind the desk，who didn't look older than 18，and explained to him that my husband was sick and I needed to buy some bottled water for him.
Our house was very small and basic and didn't have a restaurant or cafe.The young man informed me that they didn't sell any drinks at the house，so I asked him where the nearest shop was.
I looked out the window and my heart started to race.I didn't fancy risking going into the unfamiliar streets of the Medina in the dark，all by myself.In fact，I was afraid of it.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
（2）請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
Instead of giving me directions to the nearest shop，the young man asked me to wait for him there.
__________
I handed him a 50 Dirham note （about 5 EUR） for the water.
