29、 Month.The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and

30、 Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesnt taste of anything special, its still worth a try, as is the knobbly (多疙瘩的). Cats Head which is more of a curiosity than

31、anything else.There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but youll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so its a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.At the events, you

32、 can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orc

A Look at the Festivals This SummerThe Firegathering18-20 MayThe Firegathering festival returns to an unidentified place somewhere in the Sussex countryside

36、this May. The ticket price is a very agreeable 40, an amount that the organizers promise covers only the costs of staging (筹办) the event. As well as the night-club singers and dancers and circus performers, you can expect live performances from local stars. If this looks like it might be right for y

37、ou, youd be well advised to book your ticket soon; the event has sold out every year since its beginning four years ago.Sheep Music20-22 JulySheep Music started life as a garden party and has developed into a full-scale (全面的) community event. Even though the advertising has always been limited to wo

38、rd of mouth, the huge number of people two years ago left organizers worried that the large crowds could ruin the festivals family feel. Luckily July sees the return of this brilliant party. The climax (高潮) comes in the shape of Saturday nights full-scale parade (游行) that you just would not expect t

39、o happen in the otherwise sleepy Welsh borders.The Big Chill3-5 AugustTen years on and The Big Chill could very well be close to becoming a big pop festival like Glastonbury. That said, the many thousands in attendance are still able to relax in the beautiful Eastnor deer park and listen to plenty o

40、f music that would otherwise pass them by. Families have always been given a warm welcome and its fair to say that The Big Chill is probably the most child-friendly of all the medium-sized festivals. If youve never been, you should certainly go.Summer Sundae10-12 AugustAlthough only a year old this

41、summer, Summer Sundae has quickly inspired the imaginations of Leicesteks music lovers. Last years event was a success, noted by more than a few mentions at the UK Festival Awards.

One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap (包装).On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth

46、 to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying, I promised you a gift, and here it is. What an honour! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories. I told

47、 it over and over how much I loved it!One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as hopeless, pitiful, and dyin

48、g, which sounded ominous.Christmas was coming. Dont expect any presents this year, Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. If your baby brother lives, thatll be Christmas enough. As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. Id never seen him cry before.The phone rang early on Christma

49、s morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say, What? Hes all right? He hung up and shouted upstairs. The hospital said we can bring Richard home!Thank God! I heard Mum cry.From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so ha

50、ppy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!24.

52、. What is the passage mainly about?A.A sad Christmas day.B.Life with a lovely baby.C.A special Christmas gift.D.Memories of a happy family. In the tenth grade, I began working for free at a vets that was run by a friend. I wanted to get experience for what I thought would be my future job. However,

53、on one particular Saturday morning I learned something perhaps more important.The hospital was in the middle of one of the poorer sections of the city and some people could only pay for the most basic treatments. On this Saturday, a man and his young son, who was probably about 7 years old, walked i

54、n with a small cat in a cardboard box. There was something wrong with the cats left eye. But the man could not afford to pay for the cost of the medicine. He kept quiet for a while, and then he asked where the nearest animal shelter was. Hearing this, his son cried and started to argue with him. All

55、 of a sudden, an older woman who was sitting in the waiting room stood up, walked up to the counter, and told the man that she would pay for the cost. The man thanked her and the son got to keep a healthy cat.I always thought it was the right thing to help out a needy person，but I only saw people do

56、 acts of kindness on TV or in films. What the woman did made me believe that these things do happen in real life, and quite often.Now when I cant decide whether to help someone who is in need, I remember this woman, and then I have the courage to step up to the plate. Sometimes other people follow.2

57、8. From the passage we infer that when someone was in trouble, the author would _.A.be willing to help themB.let others do firstC.not want to help themD.help them following others29.

Each year has a different theme, looking at things like the role of cl

60、ean water in the world of work, ways to stop wasting water, finding ways to supply water to underprivileged groups and so on. _32_ But it is also vital for sanitation (卫生). It is estimated that more than 700 children under the age of seven die every day from illnesses linked to unsafe water and poor

61、 sanitation. The right to water and sanitation was recognized as a human right. _33_ These include rural communities, people who have been displaced due to war and local conflicts and areas where climate change is making water more and more scarcer. Apart from the obvious health issues, a lack of ac

62、cessible clean water means that peopleoften women and childrenspend hours every day walking to and from distant water supplies. This means they dont have time to dedicate to work, studies and other domestic duties. _34_ And people who are not able to walk to get their own water are particularly vuln

63、erable. There are many charities working on creating sustainable supplies of clean water for different communities around the world. _35_ But the fundamental problem of increasing demand for a limited resource can only be addressed by more efficient use of water, especially in industry and agricultu

64、re. Waste-water recycling, capturing rainwater, more efficient irrigation techniques and reforestation are all examples of how water can be used more efficiently. _36_ We should support charities, raise awareness, take part in the World Water Day events that are happening all around the world and, o

73、er, there are still at least 2.1 billion people around the world living without safe water. The killdeer, a small bird known for its high-pitched (声调高的) call, could lead to the cancellation of one of Canada biggest music festivals. The first hint of trouble for Ottawas Bluesfest, an outdoor festival

74、 that draws around 300,000 people each year, came last week after workers at the site found one of the birds. It had laid four eggs nearby, effectively claiming the main stage area as its nesting ground. This is one of the most challenging problems weve been presented with, but we feel we can work t

75、hrough this, said Mark Monahan, executive director of the festival. Anything that changes the schedule has a major effect, so were taking it very seriously. The discovery meant that government officials rushed to protect the nest and the eggs, hiring a security guard to watch over them 24 hours a da

76、y. Environmentalists were also brought in. We dont know when the eggs might hatch, said Monahan. What is known is that the young killdeer will likely leave the nest soon after they are hatched, leading many to hope that the eggs hatch in the next day or so. The festival is now seeking permission fro

77、m Environment Canada to relocate the nest some 50 meters away or take it to a wildlife center. Moving the nest would also ensure the bird and its young would be protected during the festivals 11-day run, said Monahan. Its highly likely that the festivals thousands of attendees would cause huge probl

78、ems for the bird and its eggs. Monahan was confident that the festival would go on as planned, however. Most of the people were working with are looking for a positive solution, Monahan said. There is no one saying that the festival cant go on. As news of the dilemma spread, it left residents divide

79、d. Some supported the bird, saying that moving the nest might result in the eggs being abandoned. Others expressed annoyance that protecting the eggs of the small bird, which is widespread across North America, was risking an annual festival that contributes millions of dollars to the local economy.

80、 The killdeers tendency to build its nest in open fields or flat areas has caused issues in other areas of the US: earlier this year, construction on a health center in Wisconsin was temporarily stopped after a killdeer and its four eggs were discovered.37.
