Created as a platform for documentaries and fiction wors, the programming offers an up-close loo at Meican society as seen through the eyes of a new generation of filmmaers. Fashionable bars and sidewal cafes are buing with activity around the main square, where crowds gather nightly for open-air screenings and other cultural events.Day of the DeadEach year on November 1st and 2nd, Meico turns its thoughts to the departed during the Day of the Dead festivities, a colorful tradition deeply rooted in native culture.

They waited aniously at their dess for the test to begin. The professor handed out the question paper, with the tet facing down as usual. Once he handed them all out, he ased his students to turn the page and begin. To everyone's surprise, there were no questions but a blac dot in the center of the page. The professor seeing the epression on everyone' face, told them the following, “I want you to write what you see there.”The students were confused and got started on the ineplicable (令人不解的) tas.At the end of the class the professor too all the answer papers and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students. All of them with no eceptions, described the blac dot, eplained itsposition in the middle of the sheet, imagined what the blac dot stood for and so on.After all had been read, the classroom was silent. The professor began to eplain, “I am not going to grade on you this time. I just wanted to give you something to thin about. No one wrote about the white part of the paper. Everyone focused on the blac dot and the same happens in our lives. We have a white paper to observe and enjoy, but we always focus on the dar spots. Our life is filled with love and care, and we always have reasons to celebrate—nature renewing itself every day, our friends around us, the job that provides our livelihood, the miracles we see every day…”In fact, we insist on focusing only on the dar spots—the health issues that bother us, the lac of money, the complicated relationship with a family member, the disappointment with a friend, etc. Tae your eyes away from the blac spots in your life. The dar spots are very small compared to everything we have in our lives, so enjoy each moment that life gives you.24. Why did the students feel confused about the test?A.

Remember you can’t see all the things inlife.COne of the questions surrounding climate change is how it might affect the food supply for agrowing global population. A new study suggests that researchers have been overlooing how two ey human responses to climate—how much land people choose to farm, and the number of crops they plant —will affect food production in the future. The new study focused on the Brailian state of Mato Grosso, an emerging（新兴的）global breadbaset（产粮地区）that as of 2013 supplied 10 percent of the world’s soybeans. The researchers used variations in temperature and precipitation（降水）across the state over an eight-year period to estimate the sensitivity of the region’s agricultural production to climate change. Those historical comparisons can help in maing predictions about the sensitivity of agriculture to future climate change.The study found that, if the patterns from 2002 to 2008 hold in the future, an increase in average temperature in Mato Grosso of just 1 degree will lead to a 9 to 13 percent reduction in overall production of soy and corn. “This is worrisome given that the temperature in the study region is predicted to rise by 2 degrees by 2050,”said Avery Cohn, who led the study.Most studies of this ind loo only at the etent to which climate shocs affect crop output. But researchers can miss critical dynamics（动力）that can affect overall output, says Leah VanWey, one of the study’s senior authors. “If you loo at output alone, you’re not looing at all of the information because there are economic and social changes going on as well,”said VanWey.If output decreases, farmers may put less land area into production because it’s not profitable. Farmers may also vary the number of crops they plant in a growing season. Double cropping is common in Mato Grosso. But if the weather is bad, farmers may change their decision to plant a second crop.28. The value of the new study lies in _________.A. increasing the number of crops people plantB. focusing on an emerging global breadbasetC. maing predictions about human responses to climate changeD. controlling people’s choice of their farming area and crop numbers29. According to Avery Cohn, by 2050, the overall production of soy and corn will _________.A. remain almost unchangedB. decrease by more than 9%C. increase by from 9% to 13%D. decrease by more than 18%30. What can we now about the similar studies mentioned in paragraph 3?A. They can’t provide eact information to farmers.B. They don’t tae into consideration some ey factors.C. Their discouraging results largely affect overall crop output.D. They pay too much attention to economic and social changes.31. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Farmers’possible reactions to climate shocs.B. Possible climate change in Mato Grosso.C. The benefits of double cropping in Mato Grosso.D. Farmers’decision on planting crops in the future.DIt is believed that some of animals thin a great deal. Many of them are lie children in their sports. Some birds are very lively in their sports; and the same is true with some insects. The ants, hardworing as they are, have their times for play. They run races; they wrestle; and sometimes they have moc fights together. Very busy must be their thoughts while engaged in these sports.Animals thin much while building their houses. The bird searches for what it can use in building its nest, and in doing this it thins. The beavers thin as they build their dams and their houses. They thin in getting their materials, and also in arranging them, and in plastering them together with mud. Some spiders build houses which could scarcely have been made ecept by some thining creature.As animals thin, they learn. Some learn more than others. The parrot learns to tal, though in some other respects it is quite stupid. The mocing bird learns to imitate a great many different sounds. The shepherd dog does not now as much about most things as some other dogs, and yet he understands very well how to tae care of sheep.Though animals thin and learn, they do not mae any real improvement in their ways of doing things, as men do. Each ind of bird has its own way of building a nest, and it is always the same way. They have no new fashions, and learn none from each other.It is plain that, while animals learn about things by their senses as we do, they do not thin nearly as much about what they learn, and this is the reason why they do not improve more rapidly. Even the wisest of them, as the elephant and the dog, do not thin very much about what they see and hear. Nor is this all. There are some things that we understand, but about which animals now nothing. They have no nowledge of anything that happens outside of their own observation. Their minds are so much unlie oursthat they do not now the difference between right and wrong.32. Why does the author mention that some birds and insects are very lively in their sports?A. To illustrate that some animals probably thin in the sports.B. To tell us that some birds and insects are more lively than others.C. To show us that ants are the cleverest insects in the animal ingdom.D. To attract readers by introducing some interesting facts about animals.33. “Animals thin much while building their houses”because ________.A. they have to communicate with each other in getting their materialB. they have to calculate something to arrange all the materialC. no animals have a must to build a “house”ecept some thining creaturesD. it is unimaginable to build “houses”without thining wor involved34. The underlined word "plain" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by ______.A. flatB. clearC. vitalD. reasonable35. The author will probably agree that ________.A. animals can’t thin as a matter of factB. animals can’t really learn to do somethingC. animals can thin and learn but limitedlyD. each ind of animal has their own language第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)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。
