Then there’s the one my Colombian family does every year: the Novena de Aguinaldos. We pray（祈祷）for nine days without a stop, and this Novena counts down the nine days before Christmas. Most Americans have never heard of it, but in Colombia, it’s a big deal. Like all good traditions, especially around the holidays, this tradition is about community and getting together with friends and family. My family immigrated（移民）from Colombia when I was just two months old. Every year, we gather with a group of Colombian friends for as many of the nine nights as we can. There are three parts to the Novena de Aguinaldos. The first is the reading: each kid takes turns to read a book. Next comes the gozos, which means “The Joys”. That’s where the music comes in, and everyone gets an instrument, a maraca, a drum, a tin can—whatever you can use to make a sound. And then, the villancicos——Spanish Christmas carols（颂歌）come. I’ve lived my whole life in the US. There’s not a lot of Colombian culture that we still hang onto. Why do we still carry on with the tradition of celebrating the Novenas, then? When I asked my parents the other day, the answer was that immigrants didn’t belong anywhere—not where you were, nor where you were from. So my parents helped create a space where we did. Even if the Novenas were nothing like what we might have celebrated if we’d stayed in Colombia, the Novenas became the heart of our community. But our Novenas are starting to feel a little more breakable. It’s getting harder and harder for everyone to get together each year. Last year, I was studying abroad in Italy and couldn’t make it to any gathering; my brother went off to college and had exams late into December; my sister just moved to a new city, and my parents have taken up jobs in different countries. 1. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The process of celebrating the Novena. B. The development of a Colombian tradition. C. The background of the Colombian family. D. The differences between the Novena and Christmas. 2. Why does the Colombian family celebrate the Novena? A. To remember their dead friends. B. To find a sense of belonging. C. To show their respect for Americans. D. To understand the local culture. 3. What makes celebrating the Novena difficult for the Colombian family? A. Lack of money. B. Their separate busy life. C. American laws. D. Friends’ complaints. 4. What’s the best title for the text? A. Growing Up B. Colorful Culture C. Exploring American Christmas Traditions D. Colombian Family’s Novena in the US B Have you ever imagined that your simple T-shirt could cool you down by up to 5℃ on sticky summer days? Thanks to a recent discovery, the possibility is getting closer. While there are many choices managing to keep the body warm, this amazing invention aims to offer real relief for those eager to feel comfortable and fresh in the outdoors on extremely hot days. Its inventors, engineers Ma Yaoguang of Zhejiang University and Tao Guangming of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China, took a completely creative approach. They designed a special textile(纺织物) that can absorb body heat and re-emit(重发出) its energy into space. This textile cools both the objects and their surroundings through a technique that is known as radiative cooling, Science Magazine reveals. This means that even when it looks like you are wearing a regular shirt, you are actually wearing a device that works like a mirror. Up until now, the available solutions to heat through clothes were limited to suggestions on wearing light colors since these don’t absorb sunlight like dark colors do, and choosing breathable cloth like cotton and linen. But even when these tips can actually help you chill, they are simply not enough in the hottest seasons, and in places with extreme temperatures. Inventors Yaoguang and Guangming are now looking out for textile manufacturers(制造商) and clothing brands that are interested in using their cloth. They estimate that the new material will increase clothing manufacturing costs by just 10 percent. “We can make it with mass production, which means everybody can get a T-shirt and the cost is basically the same as their old ones,” Yaoguang said. 5. What is the purpose of the new invention? A. To warm up people’s body. B. To cool people off in hot weather. C. To measure the wearers’ temperature. D. To protect clothes from becoming wet. 6. How does the special product work? A. By sending out absorbed heat. B. By turning sunlight into energy. C. By keeping heat out completely. D. By using light colors to reflect sunlight. 7. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A Relax. B. Heat. C. Cool. D. Freeze. 8. What can we learn about the new T-shirt according to the passage? A. It needs to be tested further. B. It had been designed by a clothing brand. C. It has been produced by a textile manufacturer. D. It won’t cost much more money than a regular one. 四、 完形填空(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Last year, John and I discovered that our plumbing (水管) had failed, flooding our home.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要叙述了作者一家很早从哥伦比亚移民到美国，他们在美国人庆祝圣诞节前经常庆祝他们自己的节日，以此来找回归属感。但是由于后来家人都各自忙着自己的事，庆祝九日敬礼节也变得困难起来。 【1题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“There are three parts to the Novena de Aguinaldos. The first is the reading: each kid takes turns to read a book. Next comes the gozos, which means “The Joys”. That’s where the music comes in, and everyone gets an instrument, a maraca, a drum, a tin can—whatever you can use to make a sound. And then, the villancicos——Spanish Christmas carols（颂歌）come.”（九日敬礼有三个部分。首先是阅读: 每个孩子轮流读一本书。接下来是戈佐斯，意思是“快乐”。这就是音乐发挥作用的地方，每个人都能得到一件乐器，一个沙球，一个鼓，一个罐子——任何你能用来发出声音的东西。然后，是维兰西科人——西班牙圣诞颂歌。）可知，第四段主要讲了庆祝九日敬礼节的过程。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“When I asked my parents the other day, the answer was that immigrants didn’t belong anywhere—not where you were, nor where you were from. So my parents helped create a space where we did.”（ 前几天我问我的父母，答案是移民不属于任何地方——不属于你在哪里，也不属于你从哪里来。所以我父母帮我们创造了一个空间。）可知，哥伦比亚家族庆祝九日敬礼节是为找到归属感。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It’s getting harder and harder for everyone to get together each year. Last year, I was studying abroad in Italy and couldn’t make it to any gathering; my brother went off to college and had exams late into December; my sister just moved to a new city, and my parents have taken up jobs in different countries.”（ 每年大家聚在一起越来越难了。去年，我在意大利留学，无法参加任何聚会; 我哥哥去上大学，考试一直持续到12月底；我姐姐刚搬到一个新城市，我父母在不同的国家找到了工作。）可知，他们各自忙碌的生活使得哥伦比亚家庭庆祝九日敬礼节变得困难。故选B项。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。本文主要叙述了作者一家很早从哥伦比亚移民到美国，他们在美国人庆祝圣诞节前经常庆祝他们自己的节日，以此来找回归属感。但是由于后来家人都各自忙着自己的事，庆祝九日敬礼也变得困难起来。所以短文的最佳标题为“生活在美国的哥伦比亚家族的九日敬礼节”。故选D项。 【答案】5. B 6. A 7. C 8. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了浙江大学的马耀光和华中科技大学的陶光明发明出了一种特殊的纺织物，穿上它可以让人的体温降低多达5℃。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“While there are many choices managing to keep the body warm, this amazing invention aims to offer real relief for those eager to feel comfortable and fresh in the outdoors on extremely hot days.(虽然有很多选择可以让身体保持温暖，但这项令人惊叹的发明旨在为那些渴望在极端炎热的日子里在户外感到舒适和新鲜的人提供真正的解脱。)”可知，这项新发明的目的是让人在热天凉快。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They designed a special textile(纺织物) that can absorb body heat and re-emit(重发出) its energy into space.(他们设计了一种特殊的纺织品，可以吸收身体热量并将其能量重新释放到太空中。)”可知，这款产品的工作原理是吸收身体的热量并将其重新释放出来。故选A。 【7题详解】 词义猜测题。画线词所在句中的“these tips”指代的是前面的内容，根据前面的“Up until now, the available solutions to heat through clothes were limited to suggestions on wearing light colors since these don’t absorb sunlight like dark colors do, and choosing breathable cloth like cotton and linen.(到目前为止，通过衣服来解决热量的可用方法仅限于建议穿浅色衣服，因为浅色衣服不像深色衣服那样吸收阳光，和选择棉和亚麻等透气布。)”可知，穿浅色衣服和选择棉、亚麻等透气布的方法是消除热量的方法，由此可推测出，这里是说这些方法实际上能够帮助凉快下来，chill意为“凉快”，和cool“变凉”意思最接近。故选C。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“They estimate that the new material will increase clothing manufacturing costs by just 10 percent.(他们估计，这种新材料只会使服装制造成本增加10%。)”可知，这种新材料的制造成本比普通材料只多出10%，由此可推测出，使用这种材料的T恤并不会比普通T恤花费多。故选D。 4、 完形填空 【答案】1. A 3. B 3. C 4. A 5. B 6. D 7. B 8. A 9. C 10. D 11. C 12. A 13. D 14. B 15.
