1．The world's craziest festivals Crazy festivals all over the world are out there just waiting to be celebrated.Join Cornelia Kumfert on a trip to the most unusual events taking place around the globe.
Burning Man Festival
Every year in Nevada（US）there is artwork and cunosities galore to marvel at when the Black Rock Desert changes into a mammoth art exhibition.
In August and September，some 70，00 people come here to celebrate the Burning Man Festival.
San Diego Comic Con
Surely superheroes don't queue？Well，at San Diego's Comic Convention they do.Each July hey open their dos to fans of Superman and other comic figures.More than 100，000 annual visitors have paid homage to their mythical heroes.
Crying Baby Festival，Tokyo
At the Crying Baby Festival in Tokyo（Japan），sumo wrestlers do what they can to bring babies to tears.
Sadists run riot？Certainly not!It's a 400-year-old tradition based on a Japanese proverb，which says that crying babies grow fastest and parents believe the event brings good health to their children.
Palio Contest，Siena
Fame and honour await the winner of the Palio contest in Siena（Italy）.
In July and August，ten inhabitants of different districts of the city jockey for first place in a spectacular horse race.
The trophy goes to the contestant whose horse crosses the finishing line first-whether he's still in the saddle or not.
（1）Which of the festivals offers a view of art？
A．Burning Man Festival.
B．Palio Contest，Siena.
C．Crying Baby Festival，Tokyo.
D．San Diego Comic Con.
（2）How was the festival in Tokyo founded？
A．On the basis of a proverb.
B．Based on a phrase.

2．When a chunk of ice fell from a collapsing glacier（冰川）on the Swiss Alps' Mount Eiger in 2017，part of the long deep sound it produced was too low for human ears to detect.But these vibrations held a key to calculating the ice avalanche's（崩塌）critical characteristics.
Low-frequency sound waves called infrasound that travel great distances through the atmosphere are already used to monitor active volcanoes from afar.Now some researchers in this field have switched focus from fire to ice：dangerous blocks snapping off glaciers.Previous work has analyzed infrasound from snow avalanches but never ice，says Boise State University geophysicist Jeffrey Johnson. "This was different，" Johnson says. "A signature of a new material has been detected with infrasound."
Usually glaciers move far too slowly to generate an infrasound signal，which researchers pick up using detectors that track slight changes in air pressure.But a collapse-a sudden，rapid breaking of ice from the glacier's main body-is a prolific infrasound producer.Glacial collapses drive ice avalanches，which pose an increasing threat to people in mountainous regions as rising temperatures weaken large fields of ice.A glacier "can become detached from the ground due to melting，causing bigger break-offs，" says University of Florence geologist Emanuele Marchetti，lead author of the new study.As the threat grows，scientists seek new ways to monitor and detect such collapses.
Researchers often use radar to track ice avalanches，which is precise but expensive and can monitor only one specific location and neighboring avalanche paths.Infrasound，Marchetti says，is cheaper and can detect break-off events around a much broader area as well as multiple avalanches across a mountain.It is challenging，however，to separate a signal into its components （such as traffic noises，individual avalanches and nearby earthquakes）without additional measurements，says ETH Zurich，glaciologist Malgorzata Chmiel. "The model used by Marchetti is a first approximation for this，" she says.Isolating the relevant signal helps the researchers monitor an ice avalanche's speed，path and volume from afar using infrasound.
Marchetti and his colleagues are now working to improve their detectors to pick up more signals across at-risk regions in Europe，and they have set up collaborations around the continent to better understand signals that collapsing glaciers produce.They are also refining their mathematical analysis to figure out each ice cascade's physical details.
（1）What can we learn from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3？
A．Infrasound has a major role to play in discovering new materials.
B．Ice avalanches are a bigger threat to people than volcanic eruptions.
C．Researchers are trying to use infrasound in detecting ice avalanches.
D．Scientists employ infrasound more in mountain areas than in other places.
（2）Which is an advantage of infrasound over radar？
A．The combination with other relevant signals.
B．The accuracy in locating a certain avalanche.
C．The ability in picking up signals in wider areas.
D．The sensitivity in tracking air pressure changes.
（3）The underlined word "this" in Paragraph 4 refers to.
A．distinguishing different components of a signal
B．detecting multiple avalanches at the same time
C．calculating the speed and path of ice avalanches
D．monitoring the specific location of ice break-offs
（4）Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？
A．From Fire to Ice
B．Glacier Whispers
C．Nature is Warning
D．Secret of Ice Avalanches組卷：19引用：7難度：0.5 -
