In ancient times, watching the tide on the Qiantang River in East China’s Zhejiang province was another grand event of Mid-Autumn Festival. It has been recorded in detail since the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220). Many famous ancient poets, like Su Shi in the Song Dynasty (960-1279) wrote about the grand occasion in their poems.

When night falls, people gather together in an empty place, and pick up broken bricks and tiles to pile up several pagodas. The pagodas are hollow and are filled with firewood. Then the firewood in the pagodas is lit, and the red flames rise and sparks explode, through which people express the joy of harvest in autumn.
4. Stealing vegetables
Among the Dong ethnic group in Central China’s Hunan province, it is the custom for young ladies to steal vegetables on Mid-Autumn Festival night. Whoever eats vegetables with sweet dew on this night will be healthy and happy. Also, women and girls express their adoration to their favorite young men by this way.
5. Drinking osmanthus-flavored wine

23、Online shopping has become more and more popular these years. Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.
For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2013 holiday season 58 percent of those shopping online were women.
“It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study. Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.
Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the surprising increase in the online gift-buying population this time around.
However, three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2013. They worried about credit card security(安全), or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.
“But even if shoppers don’t buy online, websites are becoming promotion(促销) tools for stores, ” said Dan Hess, vice president of Com Score Network Inc. Hess said that actually most stores’ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.
“It’s all about making the shopping experience more efficient, more reliable and more comfortable.” Hess said.
【1】Which of the following statements is true?
A. There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2013.
B. More women shopped online than men in 2013.
C. Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.
D. People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.
【2】What does the underlined part “dashed off” probably mean ?
A. 关闭 B. 推迟 C. 匆忙 D. 起飞
【3】According to Dan Hess, shopping online ______.
A. is unsafe B. is convenient
C. is a waste of money D. is cheaper
24、 More than one in five species of maple trees faces extinction, a shocking new report has revealed.
The trees are experiencing a vast decline in habitat, due to urban development, timber harvesting, and agricultural expansion. “Time is running out for the world’s biodiversity,” said Douglas Justice, associate director at the University of British Columbia Botanical Garden. “Every recent survey of plants and animals in the wild points to this.” He continued, “This is happening nearly everywhere that rarer maples exist. And because of climate change, the narrow habitats that support species at the tops of mountains are quickly disappearing.”
The trees can be found in sub-tropical and tropical regions, as far south as Indonesia. The only species found in the UK, the field maple is not under threat. Not only are the trees a popular ornamental feature in parks and public spaces, but also they are a key part of the natural ecosystem in woodlands, as well as being an important timber crop in several countries.
China is home to the largest proportion of maples with 92 species. It has seen a number of trees become endangered due to urban expansion. Some 14 of the 23 maple trees at risk of extinction in the country are only found in China and have small populations and limited geographical ranges. “We still have an opportunity to save species from disappearance, but it will take expertise, resources and the cooperative efforts by the world’s botanical gardens to make it work,” Justice added.
One species in Mexico, the Acer binzayedii, is in “desperate need of conversation” despite only being discovered in 2017. “It is at risk from climate change in its cloud forest habitat and threatened by grazing, logging, and forest fires,” the report adds. The report recommends developing conversation plans, monitoring species currently not at risk to ensure populations are maintained, and adding those missing maple species to seed banks and the like.
BGCI(Botanic Gardens Conversation International)is now establishing a conversation program to address the conservation needs of maple species. Maple specialists will work together to develop comprehensive strategies to manage and deliver conservation action points for the species.
【1】What is the major reason for maple trees’ extinction?
A．A lack of scientific research.
B．The rarity of the new species.
C．The losses of their habitats.
D．Problems with the distribution.
【2】What’s Justice’s attitude to saving maple trees?
A．Hopeful.
B．Skeptical.
C．Reserved.
D．Negative.
【3】What are the last two paragraphs intended to tell us?
A．There is no guarantee of maintaining the tree populations.
B．It can never be too late to join hands to protect the species.
C．All maple trees of the species are on the edge of extinction.
D．Effective measures should be taken to conserve maple trees
【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A．Time is running out for maple trees.
B．Maple trees are vital to the ecosystem.
C．Maple trees will stand tall in nature.
D．Climate change puts maple trees at risk.
25、I remember doing the household chores to help my mother when I was nine. I________ changing the vacuum cleaner (真空吸尘器) bag and ________ things the machine did not suck up. Twenty years later, in 1978, with this lifelong dislike of the way the machine worked, I decided to make a________ one.
Easier said than done, of course. I didn’t realize that I would spend the next five years ________ my design, a process that resulted in 5,127 different prototypes (样机). By the time I made my 15th prototype, my third child was born. By 2,627, my wife and I were really________ our pennies. By 3,727, my wife was giving art lessons for some extra ________, and we were getting further and further into debt. These were tough times, but each failure brought me________ to solving the problem.
In the early 1980s, I started trying to get licensing ________ for my technology. The reality was very different, however. The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters (滤网). No one would ________ my idea, not because it was a bad one, but because it was bad for________. But soon after, the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine. I had to fight________ battles on both sides of the Atlantic to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner.
I was still in ________ difficulties until 1993, when my bank manager personally ________ Lloyds Bank to lend me $1 million. Then I was able to go into production. Within two years, the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain.
Today, I still________ risk and the potential for failure as part of the process. Nothing________ the excitement of invention.
