Ankara， Turkey： I come from Moldova and I am now working as a UN Volunteer with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Turkey. I have been living in Turkey for a few years and have had the  　31　  to observe the approach of the Turkish people towards  　32　. In Turkey people help each other with their hearts and from their hearts on a continuous basis.

Young people are the main driving engine behind the ever-growing volunteer force in Turkey. For Turkish  　33　  people it is common to be part of some kind of organization or student club on a volunteer basis， doing various activities such as exchanges， environmental action， charity work and peer education.

This trend(倾向) grew  　34　  in the late 1990s， despite the fact that civil society organizations have sometimes been viewed with disbelief by some state authorities.

This has  　35　  in the last decade， and many young people now choose to get involved and use their spare time to develop their skills， while also showing their civic participation by 　36　  to a cause.

Perhaps this is the reason why the core of the UNV community at UNHCR Turkey is  　37　 young people. Being a UN Volunteer with UNCHR allows us to gain the skills needed to realize our social and human development potential， but also to dedicate our time， energy and ideas to contribute to the  　38　  of UNHCR’s global strategic aims.

Especially according to recent events in neighboring countries， and given the arrival of refugees and the increased time necessary to process the  　40　  number of applications for shelter， the contribution of UN Volunteers to UNHCR seems necessary and the impact invaluable.

I also believe that I have brought cultural diversity(多元性) to an already diverse 　41　 ， where true professionals and young graduates from different nations work hard side by side to  　42　 refugees and find durable solutions for them.

Directions： Read the following three passages. Each passages is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked with A， B， C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

A

As we all know， the Dragon Boat Festival is our country’s traditional festival， but do you know there is also a Dragon Boat Festival in South Korea， which also falls on May 5 of the lunar calendar(阴历)? It has been reported that South Korea will apply to United Nations Educational， Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO 联合国教科文组织) to make the celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival its own intangible cultural heritage (非物质的文化遗产). If successful， people from other countries may see the Dragon Festival as a Korean creation.

As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago， China is not happy with the situation. “It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage ahead of China，” said Zhou Heping， deputy(副) culture minister. The Chinese Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application(申请) to UNESCO， covering all traditional Chinese festivals， including the Dragon Boat event. It is thought that the festival is held in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan (340-278 BC)， who lived in the State of Chu during the Warring States Period. Qu was known to be a patriot (爱国者) and admired by ordinary people.

He is said to have jumped into Miluo River， because he had lost hope in his country’s future. When people heard about Qu’s death， they sailed up and down the river searching for his body. They also beat the drums to frighten away the fish and threw Zongzi into the water to stop the fish touching Qu. Dragon boat racing is said to come from this search for the poet’s body.

Over the years， the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Vietnam， as well as South Korea， the festival has mixed with and become part of the local culture.

49. The Dragon Boat Festival 　　　　.

A. is also kept by South Korea     B. comes from South Korea

C. was created by South Korea  D. is South Korea’s cultural heritage

50. What is the reaction(反应) of the Chinese Ministry of Culture to South Korea’s planning to make the Dragon Boat Festival its own cultural heritage?

A. Fighting against South Korea.

B. Telling South Korea it’s not right to do so.

C. Considering to do the similar thing.

D. Asking South Korea not to do so.

51. What is the purpose of holding the Dragon Boat Festival?

A. In memory of Qu Yuan.

B. In memory of all the patriots of China.

C. To frighten away the fish.
