Fair(那达慕),meaning“entertainment”or“recreation”in Mongolian,originatedin the early days of the 13th century and is a mass traditional Mongolian festival.A“HuliLetai”(big meeting)was held by Mongol leaders every month.Many activities were takenon during the meeting,such as making laws and regulations,appointing and removingofficials,giving awards and penalties,and the large Nadam Fair.As recorded,in 1206 whenGenghis Khan was elected as the Mongolian Khan,a grand Nadam Fair was held.5Since its birth,the“three skills”-wrestling,horse-racing,archery-have beena necessary part of the Nadam activities.In the past,winners of the three sports wouldbe given horses,camels,sheep,brick tea,and silk as prizes.In modern times,more activities have been added,such as polo,horsemanship,trackand field,and other ball competitions.The newly added contents turned the traditionalnational grand meeting to an auspicious,happy and effective one.Nadam held in Xilin GolLeague is the biggest and has become an important activity for the health and entertainmentof the masses.Nowadays,Nadam is always held in summer or autumn when the grasslands are beautifuland flocks and herds are ready for tallow.It often lasts for three to seven days.Duringthis time,herdsman will come from all over in completely new national costumes,ridingtheir horses,carrying tent,all kinds of meat and milk products on their light wooden carts.While putting up the tent,people begin to boil tea and stew meat.From ancient times,the“three skills”,wrestling,horse-racing and archery,havebeen used as standards to judge ability.Such activities can be performed any time andanywhere,since special fields,equipment or a fixed number of people are not necessary.Mongolian wrestling is different from other forms by its rules,methods,uniforms andfields.There are no weight or age distinctions,nor fixed numbers.All wrestlers are matchedby drawing straws or by respected judges.The game uses a single-elimination rule in thatvictory or defeat is determined once.The loser is not allowed to compete again.Half ofthe contestants will be eliminated each time.As soon as the judge gives an order to start,the opponents first shake hands to show respect to each other,and then begin to wrestle.There is no time limitation and the opponents can tick,pull,kick,trip,push and hold.The person who touches the ground with any part of the body above the knees is the loser.29.The festival Nadam Fair in Mongolia _.A.is developed to keep people braveB.is intended for entertainmentC.always remains unchangedD.is used to celebrate the harvest30.During the festival,there are many activities EXCEPT _.A.horse-racingB.poloC.wrestlingD.diving31.Nadam is probably held in _.A.July or AugustB.December or JanuaryC.March or AprilD.November or FebruaryDCharles Dickens novel A Tale of Two Cities was set in the years before and during theFrench Revolution(17891799)During its course，French revolutionaries brought down theempire and established a republic of free and equal citizensIn reading the work，one sees that Dickens distorted some details of the FrenchRevolution At the beginning，Dickens notes that，in 1775，France was busy spending money Thismention of Frances spending touches briefly on what is perhaps the major cause of theFrench RevolutionBefore the revolution，the government often borrowed money because it spent more than itraised in taxesThe increased spending and borrowing made many peoples blood boil，yet Dickens focused instead on the nobilitys oppression(压迫)and exploitation of the6working class，including peasants，as the causes of the revolutionThe Marquis，one of the books characters，ill-treats and kills many peopleThus，he represents the nobles who mistreat the lower classes One reviewer criticized this pictureas an unfair representation of French society in the mid-1700sThe reviewer pointed outthat the government would have punished nobles who mistreated or murderedNobles may havebeen guilty of other evils，however，such as not feeding the starving masses after bad weatherruined crops 1789Dickensaccount of the storming of the Bastille(巴士底狱)fails to mention that thegang that stormed the prison was looking for bullets and bombs to use in defense againsta possible attack by the kings troops Dickens does include some accurate details，however，such as the crowds finding only seven prisoners and freeing them and the packsexecuting(处决)the prison administrator and sticking his head on a postThe scene thatthe women knit(编织)as they watch the executions may seem to be an odd detail，but actuallymany women did knit stockings for the war effort as they watched the killing machine atworkDickensdescriptions of the steady stream of sentenced people into prison and the cartstaking them to their deaths give readers some idea of the frequency with which officialsjailed and executed people during the Rule of Terror，which lasted about a yearDuringthe Terror，the government jailed(拘留)about 250 thousand people，tried(审判)and killedabout 17 thousand，and executed about 12 thousand without a trialThose executed includedpeople who opposed the revolution，people who offended the revolutionaries（革命者），andeven some revolutionariesAbout 15 percent were members of the ministry or nobility32What does the word“distorted”in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?ADiscussedBExpose CProvidedDTwisted(扭曲)33Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?AA wild crowd rushed into the Bastille to fight with the royal soldiersBThe nobles mistreating and killing people is the main cause of the revolutionCAbout thirty thousand people lost their lives in the course of the Rule of TerrorDWomen were forced to work for the war supplies while watching people killed34What can be inferred from the passage?ADickens was once among the revolutionaries storming the BastilleBThere was an extreme disorder and horror during the revolutionCNobles of those days in France were loaded with heavy social responsibilitiesDClassic literary works can serve as history textbooks to a great degree35Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?AThe Collapse of the French EmpireBUnknown Facts during the Rule of TerrorCDickens Description of the French RevolutionDA Critical View on A Tales of Two Cities第二节第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10

in your diary one or two weeks before the occasion so that youcan start doing your shopping.If your receivers live very far away and you need to mailthe gift,then advanced planning is even more important.It will make sure that your gift7gets to them on time.Dont give based on what others give you.We often hear people say“Shes spending$100 on me,so I should spend$100 on her”.This thinking completely ruins the valueof giving gifts to each other.37Dont worry about whether your receivers are goingto give you something back or how much they are spending on your gifts.Respect your budget.
