Here are some must -know festivals from a handbook which you cannot miss.
The Cannes Film Festival
The Cannes Film Festival is the world’s most famous film festival and is held in May each year in
Gannes, In the south of France. It was held for the first time from September 20 to October 5, 1946, in the
coastal(沿海的) city of Cannes.
This festival attracts the attention of all the media(媒体)and receives the visits of important artists,
Hollywood actors and directors as well as a large number of film makers.

The Roland Garros Stadium plays host to the Grand Slam Tennis Tounament(联赛). It takes place
in Paris at the end of May every year. Only the best tennis players around the world can take part in this
tournament.
Nice Jazz Festival
Nice, in the south of France, receives more than 45,000 visitors each year. All of them are there for Nice Jazz Festival, which takes place in the Arencs dc Cimicz every summer. Concerts are held each day
between 7 p.m. and midnight.

If you want to be productive, you must complete work. Almost everything we do has many
stages to completion and in many situations, you don't actually create value until you finish the last
stage. Farmers can't sell their grain until it is harvested. Automakers can't sell cars that have made
it 90% of the way through the assembly line(生产线). Most employers aren't going to pay you for
having a degree unless you finished the last class and graduated.
Now all those things require starting, but if you have work in progress, the most valuable
thing you can do is to pick something and finish it. Finishing is where you start benefiting from the
value you've created. I've noticed that many successful people aren't the ones who are the smartest
or have the best ideas. They are often the ones who do the best job of taking an idea and completing
it. A good idea fully carried out is better than a great idea that never gets completed.
Does this mean you need to finish everything you start? Not necessarily, but if you don't
think something is worth finishing, be honest with yourself and terminate the project. Don't leave
hundreds of half finished efforts lying around physically or mentally acting like you are going to
come back and pick them up. If you need to drop something , do so strategically and intentionally. If you've put significant effort into a project, you may still benefit from finishing it
even if you wouldn't start it again based on changed circumstances. For example, if you are in
your last few months before graduating from college and realize you don't want to career in what
you are majoring in, you probably should go ahead and graduate because there is significant value
in having the degree---even if you don't intend to actually work in that field.
What projects do you have that are currently in progress? Can you find something and finish
it?
24.Why do many people become successful according to the author? ______
A.They are the smartest B.They have the best ideas
C.They start things smoothly D.They make ideas fully completed
25.What does the underlined word "terminate" in paragraph 3 mean? ______
A.Develop B.End
C.Plan D.Support
26.According to the author, which of the following is the correct way of creating value? ______
A.A man decides to finish all he starts to do
B.Farmers hurry to sell their crops before they are ripe
C.A college student chooses to study until he gets his degree
D.A student keeps a half-filled stamp album around for future use
27.What is the best title for the text? ______
A.Finishing vs. Starting B.Well Begun is Half Done
C.Planning vs. Performing D.It is Easier Said than Done
C
As a young boy, I knew what people said was not always what they meant or were feeling.
And I knew it was possible to get others to do what I wanted if I read their real feelings and
responded(回应) suitably to their needs. At the age of eleven, I sold sponge rubber(泡沫橡胶)
door-to-door after school and quickly worked out how to tell if someone was likely to buy from me.
When I knocked on a door, if someone told me to go away but their hands were open and they
showed their palms (the inside surfaces of their hands), I knew it was safe to continue with my
presentation(展示) because they weren’t angry or threatening although they may have a
dismissive(不屑的) attitude. If someone told me to go away in a soft voice but used a pointed finger or closed hand, I knew it was time to leave.
As a teenager, I became a pots and pans(炊具) salesperson, and my ability to read people
earned me enough money to buy my first house. Selling gave me the chance to meet people and
study them close and to know whether they would buy or not, simply by watching their body
language.
I joined the life insurance business at the age of twenty. And I went on to break several sales
records for my company, becoming the youngest person to sell over a million dollars’ worth of
business in my first year. This achievement allowed me to become a member of the well-known
Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT, which recognizes the world’s top achievers in life insurance). I
was lucky that the skills I’d learned as a boy in watching body language while selling pots and pans
could be used in this new area, and were directly related to the success I could have in any business
closely connected with people.
28.Which of the following meant the author must go away?
A.A customer’s soft voice. B.A customer’s pointed finger.
C.A customer’s open palms. D.A customer’s dismissive expression.
29.What is the “new area” mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.The study of selling products. B.The life insurance business.
C.The pots and pans industry. D.The work for the MDRT.
30.What was the key to the author’s success?
A.Listening to customers’ words. B.Understanding customers’ habits.
C.Trying to satisfy customers’ needs. D.Reading customers’ body language.
31.How does the text mainly develop?
A.By following the order of time. B.By giving clear explanations.
C.By giving well-known examples. D.By following the order of importance.
D
Bob Dylan, the 75-year-old rock legend received the Nobel Prize for having created new
poetic expressions within the great American song tradition. Sara Danius, permanent secretary of the
Swedish Academy, said Dylan had been chosen because he was a great poet in the English speaking
tradition.
Dylan, born on May 24, 1941 is an American songwriter, singer, artist, and writer. He has been influential in popular music and culture for more than five decades. Much of his most celebrated
work dates from the 1960s. Early songs such as Tangled up in Blue, Blowing in the Wing and The
Times Are a-Changing became anthems(颂歌)for the American civil fights and anti-war
movements. Leaving behind his initial base in the American folk music revival(复兴), his
six-minute single Like a Rolling Stone, recorded in 1965, enlarged the range of popular music.
Dylan’s lyrics(歌词)include a wide range of political, social, philosophical, and literary
features. His recording career, spanning more than 50 years, has explored the traditions in American
song---from folk, blues, and country to rock and roll, and rockabilly to English, Scottish, and Irish
folk music, embracing even jazz and the Great American Songbook. Dylan performs with guitar,
keyboards, and harmonica. Backed by a changing lineup of musicians, he has toured steadily since
the late 1980s on what has been called the Never Ending Tour. His accomplishments as a recording
artist and performer have been central to his career, but songwriting is considered his greatest
contribution.
Since 1994, Dylan has published six books of drawings and paintings, and his work has been
exhibited in major art galleries. As a musician, Dylan has sold more than 100 million records,
making him one of the best-selling artists of all time. He has also received numerous awards
including eleven Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, and an Academy Award. In May 2012,
Dylan received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Obama.
32.Why was Bob Dylan awarded the Nobel Prize?
A.Because he invented many music expressions.
B.Because his lyrics in his songs rhymed like poems.
C.Because his works had the characteristics of Rock.
D.Because he changed the English speaking tradition.
33.Which of Dylan’s works expended the area of popular music?
A.Like a Rolling Stone B.Blowing in the Wind
C.Tangled up in Blue D.The Times Are a-Changing
34.According to the passage, Bob Dylan can be best described as ________.
A.knowledgeable and generous B.talented and socially responsible
C.thoughtful and warm-hearted D.hard-working and ambitious
35.What is considered to be Dylan’s greatest contribution in his career?A.Composing Poems. B.Giving performances.
C.Making records. D.Writing songs.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
选项。
Difficult financial times don’t mean your giving shuts down. 36.There are so many ways
to give back that won’t hurt your wallet and will enrich your life.
1. Pick up the phone
Calling someone “for no reason” is an important opportunity to show them that you are
thinking of them. You are taking time out of your busy day to reach out. Everyone needs someone to
just listen sometimes. They may be filled with joy or sadness. 37.
2.Write a note38.It is one thing to say it, but it can be even more meaningful to put it in writing.
What if you made a commitment to write a thank-you note to someone every week?
3. 39.
You never know what someone might be going through-a painful divorce, a tough college
semester, or just a bad day. Opening up your home will make someone feel appreciated. In addition’
it costs less than going out. The leftovers from this dinner can be packaged up for homeless people.
That’s double giving!
4. Set aside money from a daily routine to donate
Giving doesn’t have to mean a life full of sacrifices. You can still buy a burger or get your nails
done. 40. Donate the money you saves: Even $ 5 can make a difference in someone’s life.
A.Give a gift to the stomach.
B.Invite someone over for dinner.
C.To take your awareness to a new level, move beyond money.
D.But instead of buying much coffee every week, you can drink less.
E. While some people enjoy receiving gifts, all of us appreciate a kind word.
F. Instead, they allow you to examine how your time and money are spent.
G. Be there to celebrate their good news, or support them with sympathy.

Dear Tom,
I am Li Hua in Senior 2. Since our school library sits idle for lack of books, I am writing to
advise that new books should be added to it. Here are the reasons.
For one thing, the number of books we have at present can’t satisfy our needs. We need far more
books to read, as reading can not only open our minds and enrich our lives, but also help us write
better essays. Obviously, new books will attract more students to read. For another, some of the bocks in our library have been out of date, so few student would like to read them. Therefore, it is
highly necessary for us to read all kinds of newly-published books. Only in this way can we young
people keep pace with the times.
I strongly hope that you will consider my suggestions. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
