In India,one of the most significant festivals is Diwali,which falls between October and November．It’s a five-day celebration that includes good food,fireworks,colored sand,and special candles and lamps．
In honor of Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth,people make special prayers on the first day to obtain blessings for welfare, succcss, and well-being．People welcome the goddess into their homes by decorating entrances with colorful lanterns and traditional designs．In addition,many people treat themselves to fine jewelry,praying for good fortune．Those who cannot afford so much,seek out cheaper items such as clothes or household goods．
The second day of the festival is called Kali Chaudas．For some,the day provides an opportunity to drive away misfortune from homes and businesses．They decorate their homes with clay lamps and create design patterns called rangoli on the floor using colored powder or sand．
The third day is when the biggest celebrations occur,which begin early in the morning with a visit to a temple to seek the blessings of the goddess．As the sun sets,festival observers light up their homes with small lamps and enjoy delicious traditional foods with their loved ones．
The festival’s fourth day is celebrated in many different ways．Friends and relatives visit with gifts,sweets and best wishes for the season．
And the final day of the festival is called Bhai Oooj．It honors the close bond between brothers and sisters and is observed with traditional ceremonies and more delicious food．
For children in India,Diwali is similar to Christmas．They get all entire week off from school and are treated to gifts,new clothes,amazing food,and,in the past at least,a large number of fireworks．It is no wonder that the festival ranks high among the country’s favorite celebrations．
4．People celebrate the first day of Diwali mainly for______．
A．good fortune. B．colorful lanterns
C．expensive jewelry D．traditional designs
5．What’s the probable purpose of creating“rangoli”on the floor?

For top students from low-income families,the challenge of applying to colleges is particularly difficult．One student in four deals with that—the writing,the studying,the researching and applying—completely on their own．One approach to make this whole process easier? Pair students up with an adviser．
That’s the idea behind CollegePoint, an initiative to help gifted students go to schools that match their intellectual(智力的)ability. When a high school student takes a standardized test—the PSAT, SAT or ACT——and they score in the 90th percentile,and their families make less than $80,000 a year,they get an email from the program offering them a free adviser．The advisers listen,guide and answer students’ questions．
Connor Rechtzigel, an adviser in Minnesota, sees the importance of his role, for research shows that low-income students are far more likely to undermatch because they don’t think they have what it takes to get in and because many don’t even know what schools are out there．He helped high school senior Justice Benjamin,the first in his family to apply to college,think about what his ideal learning experience was．Finally, Justice narrowed in on smaller schools where he could study environmental science and made his final choice：Skidmore College in New York．He felt empowered by the process．
Figuring out how to pay for college is a major part of what,CollegePoint advisers do．Nakhle,an adviser in North Carolina,is working with Hensley,an Ohio high school senior who can’t get extra financial help from her family．They spent a lot of time comparing and analyzing her financial-aid award letters,which made her decision much clearer．Finally,the Ohio State University offered an option where she would pay nothing．Staying in-state wasn’t her first choice,but it was the best option for her．
8．What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．How CollegePoint works． B．The goal of CollegePoint．
C．Ways to apply for a free adviser． D．The challenge of choosing colleges．
9．What prevents low-income students from attending proper colleges?
A．Overestimating their abilities． B．Knowing little about colleges．
C．Lack of enough learning experience． D．Failure to get support from their families．
10．Why did Hensley finally choose the Ohio State University?
A．She didn’t want to stay far from home．
B．Her favorite major was provided there．
C．She would show her talents to the full．
D．The university met her financial needs．
11．What is the best title for the text?
A．How to Be a Financial Adviser
B．Steps for Top Students to Select Ideal Colleges
C．Advisers Help Poor Students Apply to Suitable Colleges
D．CollegePoint—a Program Helping Students Score High
D
A 2018 report found that food waste would increase by a third to 2.1billion tons by 2030．Beyond the cost of the waste itself,thrown-away food generates a gas that contributes to climate change．
Home delivery meal kits(盒)can reduce food waste by more than two-thirds,but suppliers need to switch to reusable packaging to make them environmentally friendly．
Tailor-made meal kits cut waste by providing people with precise amounts of fresh ingredients(烹饪原料)for chosen recipes,meaning leftovers are minimized．But while the delivery services score well on reducing food waste,buying the same food ingredients from the supermarket almost always saves energy overall simply because meal kits use so much single-use packaging．The good news is that if people have meals that are tailored for consumption,they won’t overbuy and have less food waste．They fine-tune the amount of food to what they will actually eat．
Meal kits can reduce transport emissions(排放)if people go to the supermarket less frequently．If people only go and buy such goods as soap and toilet paper,they may only have to visit once every couple of months．A delivery truck can carry meals for a lot of people in the neighborhood．So dozens of car trips might be replaced with one truck trip．
However,study found that even if delivery meal kits reduced food waste to zero,they would still use up more energy overall than buying the same food from the supermarket unless the energy used for the meal kit packaging was cut by a fifth．The packaging is a killer if it’s single-use and thrown away,which can make all the environmental benefits lost．But if the packaging can be reused,if it’s glass bottles,like in the old days,we can get some benefits．
12．What can we learn about home delivery meal kits?
A．They can cut down on daily expenses．
B．They will totally solve the problem of food waste．
C．They can keep energy consumption to a minimum．
D．They will benefit the environment with reusable packaging．
13．What does the underlined word“fine-tune”in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Attach． B．Adjust． C．Raise． D．Compare．
14．The author suggests carrying meals with a delivery truck to__________.
A．reduce transport emissions B．save more food
C．shop only in the supermarket D．shorten car trip distances
15．What’s the author’s attitude to meal kits?
A．Supportive． B．Unfavorable． C．Objective． D．Indifferent．

Travelling with friends can be an absolutely amazing experience where you could make lifelong memories or it could end up ruining your friendship． 16 Here are some rules you should follow to make sure your next trip with friends goes as smoothly as possible．
· 17 Sure,you and your friends probably have some similar interests,but that’s not always the case．In an effort to keep everyone happy,go over travel plans and expectations ahead of time. Have each person categorize activities or sights into“must—see”“want to see”and“would go if we have time”．Plan accordingly and make sure everyone can see some of their top attractions．
·Communicate and respect each other．Everyone has personal preferences when travelling—from getting the bed closest to the bathroom or sitting in the airplane’s window seat．But sometimes things don’t go as you like．In this case,share your requirements directly with your travel companions．18 Have a conversation when problems arise,for communication is the key．
·Don’t disappear．When travelling with a group—or even just one other person—you may want some alone time．That’s completely fine,but make sure your friends know where you are and have a way of contacting you． 19
·Get off your phone．Of course,your friends will understand if you need to take a call from a family member,or in the event of a work emergency,but other than that,try to stay off your phone． 20 After all,the appeal of this type of trip is to spend time with friends．Just enjoy it!
A．Give each other some space．
B．Include at least one activity for everyone．
C．And remember that consideration and respect go a long way．
D．At the same time,listen to their concerns and be respectful of them．
E．Don’t respond to non-urgent work contact or send messages frequently．
F．It’s especially true of travelling in foreign countries or unfamiliar places．
G．So it's important to make sure you and your friend(s)are on the same page．

There was something in the elderly woman’s grace that caught my eye．Although slow and unsure of her steps, the woman moved with deliberation(从容), and there was no hesitation in her gestures．
It was a few years ago,and I had taken a part-time holiday-season job in a video store at the local shopping mall. From inside the store, I could see the people outside rushing by．
The elderly woman entered the store, along with her daughter, who was displaying a serious case of impatience, rolling her eyes, sighing and checking her watch every few seconds. I guessed if she had possessed a rope, she would have fastened it to her mother to drag her along to keep step with the rush of other shoppers.
The elderly woman separated from her daughter and began to seek through the DVDs on the nearest shelf. After the slightest hesitation. I walked over and asked if I could help her find something. The woman smiled up at me and showed me a title written on an old piece of paper.
Rather than rush off to locate the DVD for the woman. I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it. Looking back, I thought I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment. Something about her deliberate movements reminded me of my own mother, who’d passed away the previous Christmas. I missed my mom and still felt regretful about the moments when I’d used my impatience to make her life unhappy.
As we walked along the back of the store, I introduced its floor plan：old television shows, action movies, cartoons, science fiction. The woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.
We found the DVD and she thanked me, saying that it was the one she’d enjoyed when she was her daughter’s age. Unwillingly, I accompanied her to the cash register, realizing I had to return the elderly woman to her daughter, who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store．
Paragraph 1：As the elderly woman was waiting in the queue at the cash register, I walked over to her daughter．__________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2：Together they made their way toward the store’s exit．_______________________________

第二节
One possible answers：
As the elderly woman was waiting in the queue at the cash register, I walked over to her daughter．“Mind some advice?” I asked. She rolled her eyes and said．“Of course not.” But clearly there was annoyance in her reply. I smiled to show her I wasn’t criticizing. “Cherish her and cherish every single moment you can stay with her,” I said, to her surprise, “When she’s gone, it’s these little moments that will come back to you. Moments like this.” Having finished saying this, I noticed the elderly woman moving with her deliberation(优雅) back to her daughter．
Together they made their way toward the store’s exit. They stood there for a moment, side by side, watching the rush of the holiday current and then looking at each other. Slowly, the daughter placed her arm (with apparently unaccustomed affection选择掌握)around her mother’s shoulders and gently guided her back into the crowd．Tears filled my eyes when I watched them disappearing in the crowd．
