2023·深圳中学高一检测Here's a preview of some of the magical memories waiting to be made in Cardiff this Christmas.
Iceskating
You will be happy to see Cardiff's Winter Wonderland Ice Rink (溜冰场) and Ice Walk return to the beautiful grounds of Cardiff Castle this
year. Whether it's a romantic sunset skate, or a day of family fun with a colony of cute penguin skateaids especially for smaller guests, the rink is suitable for all.
Ticketed events: 15 November to 8 January
Picking Gifts
Visiting Cardiff Christmas Market has become a must of the Christmas tradition. It is home to tailored silver jewelry, original artwork, beautiful glasswork, handmade crafts, seasonal food and drink, and much
more. Come and chat to the talented makers and enjoy the unique festival atmosphere.
Free events: 10 November to 23 December
Experiencing Shows
Experiencing classic shows is also a Christmas tradition. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves will be on show at the historic New Theatre. St David's Hall will host ballet performances of Swan Lake and The Nutcracker. But if you want to break with tradition, do visit the Wales
Millennium Centre this year. Here, one of the world's most popular musicals, Les Misérables will be brilliantly adapted and staged.
Ticketed events: 10 December to 14 January
Meeting Santa
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a chance to meet Santa, and this year St David's Dewi Sant is hosting “Believe”, inviting families to discover the magic of the festive season. Little ones will encounter some of Christmas best characters—Santa's most trusted
elves(精灵) and his magical reindeer(驯鹿) friend. Bring your stockings, make some “reindeer food” ready for Christmas Eve and meet the man himself!

2023·广州六中高一检测There's no particular difference about the way Canadians celebrate Halloween, yet perhaps at least in my neighbourhood, it seems to be more about togetherness than any great passion to wear a witch's hat or string some nets around the bush. Folklorists trace Halloween back to the Celtic festival of Samhain. Nicholas Rogers, in his book Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to Party Night, says the feast marked the midpoint between the autumn equinox(秋分) and the fall of winter, a time of stocktaking and preparations.
Halloween came to North America with Irish and Scottish migration in the 19th century and underwent many repeats. “Halloween's ability to provide public space for social development held it in good position at a time when other potentially wild holidays were becoming more institutionalised and domesticated,” argues Mr Rogers. It changed from a family affair to a party united by adults.
In popular culture, Halloween is viewed as an American secular holiday. According to digital coupon company RetailMeNot, 73% of Americans plan to celebrate it this year, and it's a phenomenon in Canada
too. “It's become bigger and more celebrated than it ever has,” says Chris Ainsworth, who founded the Canadian Haunters Association, a group of hardcore Halloween enthusiasts who turn their homes into detailed haunted houses each year. In 2018, the Retail Council of Canada made news saying Canadians were now outspending Americans on Halloween, to the total of $1 billion annually. “The estimate has remained stable,” says Diane Brisebois, the council president. That's not because enthusiasm has declined but because prices have been driven down.
Some here are unsatisfied with the commercial in the festivities. But in some ways the holiday has also returned to its roots as a communitycentred activity. And perhaps that's why everyone gets so excited about Halloween in Toronto, a metropolis that is known as a “city of villages”.
( )4.What do the Canadians seem to like about Halloween?
A.It enriches people's life.
B.It makes people excited.
C.It provides people with gettogethers.
D.It marks the fall of the autumn.
C
( )5.Why does the Halloween keep a steady position according to Paragraph 2?
A.It goes through reformation.
B.It can give space for social development.
C.It provides people with different ideas about holidays.
D.It can change other holidays into more reasonable ones.
B
( )6.From which is the text probably taken?
A.A biology textbook.
B.A health report.
C.A research paper.
D.A culture magazine.

about the way Canadians celebrate Halloween, yet perhaps at least in my neighbourhood, it seems to be more about togetherness than any great passion to wear a witch's hat or string some nets around the bush.(加拿大人庆祝万圣节的方式并没有什么特别的不同,然而至少在我的社区,它似乎更多的是关于团结友爱,而不是关于戴上女巫的帽子或在灌木丛中系一些网。)”可知,加拿大人喜欢万圣节是因为它为人们提供了聚会。故选C。
5.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中“‘Halloween's ability to provide a public space for social development held it in good position at a time when
other potentially wild holidays were becoming more institutionalised and domesticated,’ argues Mr Rogers. (‘万圣节为社会发展提供公共空间的能力使它在其他可能狂野的节日日益制度化和家庭化的时代占据了有利地位,’罗杰斯先生认为。)”可知,万圣节保持一个稳定的地位是因为它可以为社会发展提供空间。故选B。
6.D 推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章主要介绍了万圣节的由来、影响以及加拿大人庆祝万圣节的情况。由此可推知,本文可能选自文化杂志。故选D。

1.D 根据上文“Like Chinese Spring Festival, preparing a big meal and bringing the family together at home is a longstanding tradition of Thanksgiving.(和中国春节一样,准备一顿大餐并和家人团聚在一起是感恩节的一个悠久的传统。)”可知,像中国春节一样,感恩节让身在各地的亲人从四面八方赶回家聚到一起过节。由此可知,D项“Distance
doesn't really matter as relatives return home to be with their family.(当亲人们回家与家人团聚时,距离真的不重要。)”符合语境。故选D。

thanksgiving tradition.

5.G 根据上文“Even though I was thousands of kilometres away from my home in Beijing, I still found a home in the US with Emily and her family.(尽管我离我在北京的家有几千公里远,但我仍然在美国和艾米丽以及她的家人在一起找到了家。)”可知,作者离家在外,应该是
孤独的,尤其是过节时,但是作者在朋友艾米丽家过感恩节感受到了家的温暖。由此可知,G项“As the saying goes,‘Forever on Thanksgiving Day, the heart will find the pathway home.’(常言道,‘感恩,可以让心,找到回家的路。’)”符合语境。故选G。
