In 2015, the town of Carefree, in the USA was seeking a pumpkin carver to help their newly-planned Enchanted Pumpkin Garden Festival become an instant success. Luckily for them, the sculptor Ray Villafane fell in love with the four-acre Carefree Desert Gardens and agreed to carve pumpkins for the tourists. Then, the festival became a hit in 2015. Now the annual event, which took place from October 19-28, in 2008, includes many fun activities for both kids and adults. However, it is the pumpkin carvings that remain the star attraction.
This year, Villafane and his team reached the garden in early October to carve the popular “pickled (腌制的) pumpkins”. Placed inside tanks resembling a kind of plants to fit in with the environment, the 3D pumpkin artworks were put in a special liquid that helped preserve them for a longer period of time.
Throughout the festival, Villafane and his team also held several live demonstrations, adding to the impressive carved pumpkins on exhibition. They also volunteered to give many pumpkin-carving fans valuable tips.
Besides the wonderful carvings, guests had the chance to go into a pumpkin world, complete with tales. The tales featured pumpkin dead bodies running through the grass, and a group of helpless pumpkins attempting to free their peers imprisoned by a scary-looking figure with only bones. Then, there were the hard-working rats who were sewing a pumpkin.
The highlight of the festival came on October 27, when Villafane transformed a huge pumpkin into a dinosaur. The festival also featured activities including pie-eating matches, story-telling, face painting, and pumpkin-carving matches.
Villafane’s skill first came to light in 1993 after he sculpted a pumpkin for his students during Halloween. In 2004 while still teaching, he decided to use his skills to create action figures for Marvel Comics. Over the next two years, the artist created numerous popular characters. In 2006, Villafane accepted a full-time position about carving toys at DC Comics. In 2010, he finally decided to go after his true love—pumpkin carving. Since he first began carving, the expert has sculpted 2,576 pieces of outstanding works in 102 cities around the world.
The expert using basic carving tools for his most complex creations stands out in the festival.

Old trains are very attractive and mysterious, whether it’s because of their history and their function or simply because they look so fierce and huge. Many old derailed trains have been transformed into anything like homes, art galleries and even amusement parks. As part of a recovery program to restore a failed railway, Ecuadorian design firm Al Borde transformed a tired, old train into a mobile cultural center, which they call “Wagon of Knowledge” (Vagon del Saber).
Selected by the Ecuadorian(厄瓜多尔)Ministry of Culture and Heritage, the community oriented project is to reactivate settlements along its route. After more than a decade of absence, these areas not only recover a means of communication but are enhanced economically, as the cultural promoters use the train car as an activator of public space and a meeting point for the locals. The multifunctional nature of the carriage — it is without a strictly defined architectural program and can therefore be designed flexibly — allows for musical performances, theater shows, training programs and celebrations.
The train was renovated(修复)to achieve the greatest number of uses with the minimum number of elements.
A public square and a theater with a capacity of 60-80 people, as well as work spaces for 20 users were incorporated by attaching three extensions to the train: a roof with several deployment( 部 署 )options, retractable furniture and two storage spaces — simple systems operated by the cultural romoters turn the cart into their desired requirements. Set to travel around the route, the cultural unit will begin to accumulate and facilitate new stories.
Intended to move from place to place without a strict set of limitations to define its use it becomes something flexible that adapts to the needs of the moment, so that it “carries neither goods nor tourists, but culture and public space”. As we can see here, there are a lot of possibilities, thanks to various interchangeable components that can allow the train to shift from conference space to a performance venue in a snap.
It’s a creative way to give new life to a historically important train that was once even derailed, and to ensure that it can keep on serving the public. One more thing, people don’t have to go to this public space; it will travel to come to them.
46. Why did the design firm Al Borde carry out the project?
A. To boost the local tourism.
B. To sharpen rural people’s communication skills.
C. To bring communities along the railroad line to life.
D. To provide recreation for the community residents.
47. What makes the multipurpose train possible?
A. Advanced architectural design techniques.
B. The railway systems that are easy to operate.
C. Flexible construction features of the train car.
D. The financial assistance provided by cultural promoters.
48. How does the old train meet different requirements?
A. By extending the length of the carriage.
B. By adding three components to the train.
C. By freely changing the position of the roof.
D. By expanding the seating capacity of the train.
49. What can we know about “Wagon of Knowledge” from the passage?
A. It used to be the meeting point for the locals.
B. It can perform different working functions.
C. It was used to carry goods and tourists.
D. It will stay in one place to entertain locals
50. What does the author think about the project?
A. It is meaningful.
B. It is large-scale.
C. It is pioneering.
D. It is impressive.

The benefits of reading at home are many and lifelong. Falling levels of enjoyment are cause for worry.
If there was one good thing to come out of lockdowns, it was improved book sales and rates of reading, especially among children. A survey of 70.000 children and young people by the National Literacy Trust, however, has found this gain is now gone: figures are now equal just before the pandemic, when the trust recorded the lowest levels of reading enjoyment(just under 50%) since it first asked the question 17 years ago. A concurrent(同时进行的)study of 8.000 five to eight-year-olds found that nearly one in five did not have a book at home.
These questions are not about basic literacy but about the habit of reading: the children surveyed spoke of books giving them subjects to talk about; of entertainment and information; of reading helping them to understand people unlike themselves; of finding in books a place of escape and a mitigation( 缓 解 )of loneliness; of aid in coping with difficulty. “It helps me in learning about what I am feeling. That is because I have a hard time expressing my emotions and would rather not bother anyone.” as one child put it.
Children who read at home are six times more likely to be able to read above expected levels, while one study of 160,000 adults from 31 countries found children whose homes held at least 80 books, but whose schooling ended at 13 or 14, were “as literate, numerate and technologically wise in adulthood as university graduates who grew up with only a few books”. Another found these children also went on to earn more.
It is not that most parents and carers don’t understand this. A reason often cited for the lack of books at home is the cost of living. Almost a fifth of Britain’s public libraries have closed in 10 years while one in eight primary schools in England, rising to one in four in disadvantaged communities, do not have a library or designated reading space. Furthermore, the Department for Education, with its insistence on systematic synthetic phonics(自然拼读法)would do well to heed( 留 心 )the number of children who told the National Literacy Trust that teaching in primary schools had put them off reading. Compared with other problems this country faces, providing varied reading material is relatively straightforward to fix. We owe it to children to do so.
51. What does “this gain” in Para. 1 most probably refer to?
A. More young readers.
B. Better reading material.
C. More books sold online.
D. Better reading environment.
52. Which of the following is NOT cited as a reason why the habit of reading matters?
A. Reading broadens children’s horizons.
B. Reading offers children spiritual shelters.
C. Reading improves children’s basic literacy.
D. Reading helps children deal with emotions.
53. Children reading more often at home are found ________ .
A. to be pushed by expected levels of reading
B. to end schooling earlier than average readers
C. to be willing to learn more when they grow up
D. to possess greater reading and technological abilities
54. Which of the following statements is not true according to the last paragraph?
A. Poor communities do not have sufficient libraries or appointed reading spaces.
B. Disadvantaged families can’t understand the problem with the lack of books at home.
C. Primary schools haven’t so far done a great job in encouraging children to read more.
D. The country should take immediate action to offer children more varied reading material.
55. What does the author mean by saying “We owe it to children to do so”?
A. We can offer any assistance to children to realize their dreams.
B. We must create conditions and supply various books to children.
C. We can buy enough books for the children who want to read more.
D. We should help children read books at home rather than in libraries.
【答案】51. D 52. C 53. D 54. B 55. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在家阅读的好处。
【51题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“figures are now equal just before the pandemic, when the trust recorded the lowest levels of reading enjoyment(just under 50%) since it first asked the question 17 years ago. ”（现在的数据与大流行之前持平，当时该信托记录了自17年前首次提出这个问题以来阅读享受的最低水平(略低于50%)。）可推知，划线词所在句指的是这种“阅读享受”现在已经不再有了。所以划线词此处指“阅读享受”，故选D。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“These questions are not about basic literacy but about the habit of reading: the children surveyed spoke of books giving them subjects to talk about; of entertainment and information; of reading helping them to understand people unlike themselves; of finding in books a place of escape and a mitigation( 缓 解 )of loneliness; of aid in coping with difficulty. ”It helps me in learning about what I am feeling. That is because I have a hard time expressing my emotions and would rather not bother anyone.“ as one child put it.”（这些问题不是关于基本的读写能力，而是关于阅读的习惯：接受调查的孩子谈到书籍给他们谈论的主题；娱乐和信息；阅读帮助他们了解不同于他们自己的人；在书中找到一个逃避和减轻孤独的地方；帮助他们应对困难。”它帮助我了解自己的感受。这是因为我很难表达自己的情绪，我宁愿不去打扰任何人。正如一个孩子所说。）可知，阅读习惯很重要，在于其可以给孩子们谈论的主题，即扩大孩子的视野；阅读帮助他们了解不同于他们自己的人，即阅读可以帮助孩子解决他们自己的情绪问题；他们在书中能找到一个逃避和减轻孤独的地方，即阅读可以给孩子们提供精神寄托；以上都是阅读习惯的重要性，并没有提及阅读习惯会改善孩子们的基本的读写能力，所以选项C不符合文意，故选C。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Children who read at home are six times more likely to be able to read above expected levels, while one study of 160,000 adults from 31 countries found children whose homes held at least 80 books, but whose schooling ended at 13 or 14, were ”as literate, numerate and technologically wise in adulthood as university graduates who grew up with only a few books“. Another found these children also went on to earn more.”（在家阅读的儿童阅读能力超过预期水平的可能性是普通儿童的六倍，而一项对来自31个国家的16万名成年人的研究发现，那些家里至少有80本书，但其学校教育在13或14岁结束的儿童，“在成年时与只有几本书的大学毕业生一样，具有文化、数学和技术方面的智慧”。另一项研究发现，这些孩子的收入也更高。）在家里常阅读的孩子的阅读能力超过预期水平的可能性是普通儿童的六倍，同时他们也具有更好的文化、数学和技术方面的智慧，收入也更高。可推知，这些孩子的拥有更强的阅读和技术能力。故选D。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“It is not that most parents and carers don’t understand this. A reason often cited for the lack of books at home is the cost of living. Almost a fifth of Britain’s public libraries have closed in 10 years while one in eight primary schools in England, rising to one in four in disadvantaged communities, do not have a library or designated reading space. Furthermore, the Department for Education, with its insistence on systematic synthetic phonics(自然拼读法)would do well to heed( 留 心 )the number of children who told the National Literacy Trust that teaching in primary schools had put them off reading. Compared with other problems this country faces, providing varied reading material is relatively straightforward to fix. We owe it to children to do so.”（这并不是说大多数父母和照顾者不理解这一点。人们经常提到的家里缺书的一个原因是生活成本。英国近五分之一的公共图书馆在10年内关闭，而英国八分之一的小学(在贫困社区，这一比例上升到四分之一)没有图书馆或指定阅读空间。此外，英国教育部坚持自然拼读法，因此最好留意一下有多少孩子告诉国家扫盲信托基金，小学教学使他们放弃阅读。与国家面临的其他问题相比，提供多样化的阅读材料相对容易解决。我们这样做是为了孩子们。）可知，贫穷的社区没有图书馆或指定阅读空间，同时小学在鼓励孩子多读书方面并没有做得很好。作为国家，应为儿童提供更多样化的阅读材料。选项B与文意不符，故选B。
【55题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段最后两句“Compared with other problems this country faces, providing varied reading material is relatively straightforward to fix. We owe it to children to do so.”（与国家面临的其他问题相比，提供多样化的阅读材料相对容易解决。我们这样做是为了孩子们。）可知，“to do so”指的是我们能给孩子们提供多样化的阅读材料，这个问题比其他的问题容易解决。故选B。

阅读短文， 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
The gymnasium smelled of delicious food and was filled with people. The place was more lively when kids in each class of kindergarten came in and sat in chattering rows. This was the big day --- the kickoff to the St. Baldrick’s event. And the kids knew what was coming. A fourth-grade teacher was about to have his head shaved.
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation provides funds for children’s cancer research. Their money comes from participants offering to publicly shave their heads in exchange for donations to the fund. When the fourth-grade teacher Mr. Leckron offered to shave his blond hair for the good of the cause, many kids signed up to be shaved as well. Many community members and parents stepped forward to donate money to support the events.
This event took place on a May afternoon. In the beginning of the after-school community shaving event, our principal stepped to the microphone and introduced the honorable guest, our town’s mayor(市长)．Our mayor said the students were worth his respect because they were so sympathetic(同 情的)to those unfortunate.
After the mayor’s speech, a mother stepped to the microphone and shared the story of her son’s childhood cancer. The mother said the cancer was terrible to his son, but the St Baldrick’s funded research made him triumph over the challenge in the end. His story showed how the program was making a difference to real people.
Next the barber stepped forward and gestured Mr. Leckron to the stage. But Mr. Leckron shook his head and pretended to be afraid. Everyone cheered as Mr. Leckron walked forward and took his seat. When the barber shaved a path right down the center of Mr. Leckron’s head, everyone laughed. My heart pounded. I was excited at the joy that filled the gymnasium.
It stated that our little school raised over 10,000 dollars in the end. When I learned the good news of the result of the event, my eyes welled and I took great pride in my community that supported it.

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了为了能够换取给儿童癌症研究提供的资金，作者所在的学校举办了“公开剃发换捐款”的活动，最终该活动筹集了一万多美元。这个故事阐述了小的善意会汇集成大的好处。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“The St. Baldrick’s Foundation provides funds for children’s cancer research. Their money comes from participants offering to publicly shave their heads in exchange for donations to the fund. When the fourth-grade teacher Mr. Leckron offered to shave his blond hair for the good of the cause, many kids signed up to be shaved as well. ”（圣鲍德里克基金会为儿童癌症研究提供资金。他们的钱来自于愿意公开剃光头以换取为基金捐款的参与者。当四年级老师Leckron先生提出为了慈善事业剃掉他的金发时，许多孩子也报名参加了剃头活动。）可知，Leckron和许多孩子报名参加了剃头是为了换取儿童癌症研究的捐款。故答案为： In exchange for donations to the children’s cancer research fund.
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段最后一句“Our mayor said the students were worth his respect because they were so sympathetic(同 情的)to those unfortunate.”（我们的市长说那些学生值得他尊敬因为他们如此同情那些不幸的人。）可知，市长对孩子们表示尊敬是因为孩子们对不幸的人们表现了同情心。故答案为：Due to their sympathy to those unfortunate people.
【58题详解】
考查词句猜测。结合划线句前文“After the mayor’s speech, a mother stepped to the microphone and shared the story of her son’s childhood cancer. The mother said the cancer was terrible to his son, ”（市长演讲结束后，一位母亲走向麦克风，讲述了她儿子患儿童癌症的故事。母亲说癌症对他儿子来说很可怕）后文“His story showed how the program was making a difference to real people.”（他的故事展示了这个项目是如何对现实生活中的人产生影响的。）可知，这个项目换取得捐款对癌症病人是有很大的帮助的，因而划线句的含义为：圣鲍德里克基金会提供的钱帮助了她的儿子战胜了病魔。故答案为：The fund supported helped her son recover from the disease.
【59题详解】
考查推理判断。根据最后一段“It stated that our little school raised over 10,000 dollars in the end. When I learned the good news of the result of the event, my eyes welled and I took great pride in my community that supported it.”（报道说我们的小学校最终筹集到了一万多美元。当我得知活动结果的好消息时，我的眼睛都红了，我为支持它的社区感到非常自豪。）可知，当作者听到这次活动的好的结果时，作者是感动的，同时对支持它的社区感到非常自豪。故答案为：Moved and proud.
【60题详解】
开放题，言之有理即可。通读文章可知，本文主要讲述了为了能够换取给儿童癌症研究提供资金，作者所在的学校中举办了“公开剃发换捐款”的活动，最终该活动筹集了一万多美元。通过故事让我作者领会到小的善意会汇集成大的好处。即：Small acts of kindness can bring great benefits. 故参考答案为：Small acts of kindness can bring great benefits.
