17. 难度：简单

Are you fond of tomatoes? Bunol, a town in Spain, held its yearly tomato festival on the last Wednesday of August. Thousands and thousands of people made their way from all corners of the world to fight in it, the world’s biggest food fight. Tons of fully-grown tomatoes were thrown in the streets.

No one knows exactly how this event started. Maybe it came from a local food fight between friends, or a joke that was played on a bad musician.

On Wednesday, at 11am, the fight began. A cannon(大炮) shot was fired to start the fight. At first, people fought one another, but slowly they began to fight in groups. After exactly one hour, the fight ended when the cannon shot was fired once more. At this point, no more tomatoes could be thrown.

Those who attend this event are encouraged to wear protective glasses. And they must press the tomatoes before throwing so that they won’t hurt others. Another rule is that no one is allowed to take anything — such as a glass bottle — into the fight. Although it is forbidden to tear(扯破) another person’s clothing, the crowd seems to tear the shirt of any clothed person, whether they are men or women.

Fire trucks are used to clean the streets after the fight with water provided from a Roman channel (海峡). The government seems more concerned with cleaning up the town than the visitors, and people go to the Bunol River for a wash.

1.What do we know about the tomato fight?

A．Nobody knows how it really started.

B．Only people from Spain can take part in it.

C．It is held on the first Wednesday of August.

D．Green tomatoes can be used in the fight.

2.When the cannon shot is fired the second time, ____.

A．people start to throw tomatoes

B．people start to fight in groups

C．the whole tomato fight is over

D．the fight has lasted for two hours

3.Which is NOT one of the rules of the tomato fight?

A．People can’t use glass bottles.

B．People must wear protective glasses.

C．It isn’t allowed to tear other people’s clothes.

D．Tomatoes should be pressed before they are thrown.

4.After the tomato fight, the town government ____.

A．provides water to the people

B．cleans up the streets with fire trucks

C．takes people to the Bunol River

D．holds other activities about tomatoes

You are not alone

   Remember that everybody else in your grade is in the same boat. You may not notice it, but they are just as nervous as you are.

Other points

   If you’ve got an elder brother or sister at senior high school, then ask them for advice.

19. 难度：简单

The bar-tailed godwit （斑尾鷸）has just broken its own record for the world’s longest non-stop flight, including humans in planes, according to a report made by Lund University Press. The bird can fly non-stop for eight days, while the most impressive man-made airplane can only remain in the sky for 82 hours without a stop.

The bar-tailed godwit’s journey, from Alaska to New Zealand, covers over 6,835 miles. It completes this trip twice a year, in autumn going to New Zealand, and in spring back to Alaska. The tireless bird ends the trip without stopping once for food or rest. All other birds can only finish trips that are twice as short as what the bar-tailed godwit travels.

One reason for the bar-tailed godwit’s success is that it has made the best use of its fuel, which is only 0.41 percent of its body weight over each hour of any given long flight. Hedenstrom, a professor from Lund University, says, “This figure is extremely low compared with other birds.” The bird also has a special body shape that helps it fly easily. It stores body fat and protein to manage its trips. It also travels fast, compared to other birds and animals.

Many questions remain about this bird record holder that never gets lost in the air. Researchers wonder whether it has an inside compass (指南针) that helps it to know the direction. Please watch how beautiful bar-tailed godwits look as they come in for a landing, along with other birds.

1.For the flight from Alaska to New Zealand, the bar-tailed godwit__________

A．doesn’t need to stop to eat

B．is afraid of hot weather

C．seems very tired at last

D．should fly less than 7,000 meters

2.The main reason why the bar-tailed godwit can break the record is that it ______.

A．eats little food every hour

B．has a special body shape

C．stores much water in its body

D．has very light body weight

3.The last paragraph tells us that _________.

A．researchers have understood the bird very well

B．the bird has a very good sense of direction

C．there are still many who doubt the bird’s ability

D．the bird has an inner compass
