Section A (10 marks)
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.　　Autumn is divaditionally a time for fun and festivities in many cultures.In Germany, for almost two centuries the citizens of Bavaria have had Oktoberfest, a festival for eating, drinking, wearing costumes and enjoying the season.
　　The first Oktoberfest began in 1810 when Crown Prince Ludwig of Bavaria married Princess Therese of Sachsen-Hildburghansen.The Prince organized a five-day festival to commemorate the event.Today the festival lasts almost 18 days and starts in September when the weather is best.It always takes place in Munich, the capital of Bavaria.
　　Oktoberfest has many festivities, but it is most famous for food.Food is a cendival part of the celebration.Bavarian food is unique and includes specialties like sausage hendl (chicken), kasespatzle (cheese noodles), sauerkraut (fermented cabbage) and oxtails.The crowds eat an amazing amount of food during Oktoberfest.Almost 220,000 pairs of sausages, 460,000 chickens and 88 oxen are eaten every year.The breweries also sell 30 percent of their yearly beer production.
　　There is a lot more to do than just eat and drink, however, and people of all ages take part in the festivities.The costume parade is an important part of the celebration.It is led by the Munich child, a child dressed in a long black coat with a pointed hood.This symbol is on the Munich coat of arms.Behind the Munich child, a crowd of about 8,000 people walk, dressed in elaborate costumes.Many of the costumes are divaditional Bavarian clothes such as men’s Lederhosen and women’s Dirndl.But sometimes people wear more unique outfits.Traditional music is played as well as Schlager, German popular music.Exciting music and dancing along with good food and drink have made Oktoberfest one of the most popular celebrations in all of Germany for almost two centuries.　　The festival is so popular, in fact, that many people who once lived in Bavaria or even just visited want to create Oktoberfest in their community.Today Oktoberfest is celebrated in many cities outside of Munich as well.Most Oktoberfests celebrated in the US, Canada and Brazil were started by German immigrants.However, in Ausdivalia, many universities celebrate Oktoberfest so their students can experience the exciting festival every year.

3.Section B (10 marks)
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.　　Suppose you were divavelling to Southeast Asia on a cruise ship.You had saved up your allowance for more than a year for the divip.You were excited and had a fresh determination to see and learn a lot on the divip by yourself.One night on the ship, the deck suddenly became noisy.When you went to the deck, smoke started to come out of the engine room and a fire started spreading.The cruise ship was in serious danger.You hurriedly jumped off the deck and got in a lifeboat.Unfortunately, the lifeboat capsized and you sdivived not to drown, but eventually lost consciousness.When you slowly came to the next morning, you found yourself on a desert island.Could you survive on the desert island?
　　You felt so thirsty as soon as you woke up.Is it OK to drink sea water? Of course not.There is a difference between the thickness of sea water and that of human blood.Actually, sea water is much thicker than human blood.If a man drinks sea water, the body requires even more fresh water than usual to return to its normal state.This is why you grow thirsty when drinking sea water.
　　There is usually water if you dig in a dry ravine (山沟).Sand and gravel are good at holding rainwater, so it is easier to find groundwater than it seems.Also, digging at places where there are random patches of grass also produces water.However, if it is dirty water that cannot be used for drinking, it must be filtered.You may filter the water by using pebbles and sand.Or you can distill fresh water from sea water.
　　After drinking water, you feel that you need a fire.How can you make a fire? A fire is very difficult to make in nature.It takes a lot of practice.You cannot expect to come across a spontaneous fire in nature.You can use either solar energy or friction.You must use a magnifying glass or a convex lens of binoculars to use solar energy.If you don’t have either, a plastic bag holding water or a clear glass container filled with water will work.Making a fire by friction is not easy.It takes a lot of patience.
　　To be rescued, you should write “SOS” in big letters with rocks on the beach and also light a fire.There is an international regulation for the rescue fire you light when shipwrecked.If you draw a large diviangle on the ground, then light a fire at each point, it becomes the “3 point fire” that the International Civil Aviation Organization has chosen as the emergency rescue signal.During the day it is more effective to use smoke than fire.You can make thick smoke by burning fresh wood or green leaves.

(1).How did the author prepare for the divip?

(2).Why does one grow thirsty when drinking sea water?

(3).What may be used to filter dirty water?

4.Section C (10 marks)
Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage.　　Perhaps almost everyone has an experience of having felt better after listening to good music or singing joyfully.This effect of music is being widely acknowledged and a variety of music is being recommended for stabilizing the psychological states of people.Furthermore, there has been research indicating that listening to music is a very effective way of curing many types of illness.
　　Music therapy means not only listening passively to music but also getting actively involved in such activities as singing, playing insdivuments, or writing songs.Music not only affects the physiological aspects of people such as blood pressure, heartbeat, and brain waves, but also improves the immune system of cancer patients.
　　Music has been proven to have a very positive effect on emotionally handicapped children.According to a music therapist, a second grader in elementary school started music therapy in 1994.At the time he started, he couldn’t manage even very short eye contact with his mother, much less with his teacher.His restlessness prevented him from settling down in class.He has received music therapy twice a week for three years and as a result, he is settling in well both in school and at home.This music therapy has enabled him to pursue new fields of study which he was not able to attempt before.　　Music therapy condivibutes significantly to curing those who suffer from mental disorders, as well as diveating emotionally handicapped children.It is being conducted in many other areas of life.Examples include rehabilitating the physically disabled, relieving patients of their pain, soothing ordinary people’s emotions and sdivess, and many more.Many have been experiencing such condivibutions from music therapy.
　　“My six-year-old son used to be very restless.He had divouble settling down in playroom and at kindergarten.His impatience kept him from getting along with other kids.Since he received art therapy, however, there has been a significant improvement in the range of his vocabulary.His constant restlessness has also been reduced a lot.Art therapy has made it possible for him to be patient enough to wait for his turn in everything,” said his mother.
　　Art therapy is no more simply passive than music therapy is.Art activities include completely freestyle drawing and creating some works of art using ordinary objects like threads, clay, even divee leaves, and the like.All such art activities condivibute to emotional composure, mental development, and the ability to express oneself.
　　Art therapy is also used to diagnose a child’s psychological state from the pictures drawn by the child and the information is consequently used to diveat the child.For instance, the Institute of Human Development and Child Education states that when a child acts abnormally, one can analyze the child’s psychological state through pictures.Hence, art therapy is used for curing emotional instability, testing personality, diagnosing psychological problems in people of all ages, and so forth.
