Ⅴ.阅读理解
2023·孝感一中高一检测The Republic of Fiji is an island nation in the southwest Pacific Ocean. The island nation is inhabited by native Fijians and other minorities like the IndoFijians and other smaller groups. The influence of so many diverse groups of people has contributed to making Fiji society a truly multiethnic one. The religion in Fiji is also diverse and every religious group gets equal opportunities.
The Fijians consider their national costume a representative of the culture of Fiji. The national costume of Fijians in the earlier times used to be loincloths for men and grass skirts for women. The skirt lengths would determine the status of a woman. A single woman used to wear short skirts but long skirts had to be worn by married women. The national dress of the Fijians now is the sulu, resembling a skirt, and both genders wear it.
The Fijians are pretty easygoing, but if you are invited into a village, wear simple clothing and take off your hat (wearing one is an insult to the
chief) when in the village. Leave your shoes outside the door when entering a home and keep in mind that it's also insulting to touch someone's head—which can be tempting when you are surrounded by wideeyed, smiling children.
When visiting a village, it is customary to present a gift of kava. The gift, (a “sevusevu”) will cost less than FJ $20 for a half kilo. If you are accompanied by a guide, he/she will prepare that. Be prepared to shake hands and answer personal questions like, “Where are you from? Are you married? How many children do you have?”
( )1.What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A.Different groups of people live in peace in Fiji.
B.People of different groups are unfriendly to one another.
C.The diverse religions in Fiji can cause trouble.
D.The island state of Fiji is ruled by native Fijians.
A
( )2.In the past, we could tell whether a woman is married or not by ________.
A.whether she wore loincloths or a grass skirt
B.the length of her grass skirt
C.the colour of the skirt she wore
D.the materials of the costume she wore
B
( )3.If you touch the head of a lovely boy in Fiji, he will probably ________.
A.smile happily at you
B.present you with a gift
C.be angry with you
D.laugh at you
C
【文本大意】文章主要介绍了斐济的文化和社会习俗。
1.A 推理判断题。根据第一段可知,斐济共和国是西南太平洋上的一个岛国。这个岛国居住着土生土长的斐济人和其他少数民族,比如印度斐济人和其他较小的群体。如此众多不同群体的影响促使斐济社会成为一个真正的多民族社会。斐济的宗教也是多样化的,每个宗教团体都有平等的机会。由此可知,尽管斐济人的种族不同,宗教不同,但他们之间是平等的,因此可推断不同种族的人们可以和平共处。故选A。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The skirt lengths would determine the status of a woman. A single woman used to wear short skirts but long
skirts had to be worn by married women.”可知,过去,我们可以根据一位女士所穿的草裙的长度来判断她是否结婚了。故选B。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Leave your shoes outside the door when entering a home and keep in mind that it's also insulting to touch someone's head—which can be tempting when you are surrounded by wideeyed, smiling children.”可知,在斐济如果你摸一个人的头,会被看作是对他的侮辱,因此他会生气。故选C。

【文本大意】文章主要讲述了开放性和包容性不仅体现在中国文化中,也体现在中华民族的共同语言和文字中。在共同语言方面,普通话的推广是为了打破不同语言之间的障碍,有效加深中国人之间的交流和理解,从而丰富中国文化,促进民族间的互爱互融。
1.are shown 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。说明一般情况,时态用一般现在时;主语Openness and inclusiveness是被显示在中国文化中,因此用被动语态;Openness and inclusiveness作主语,表示“开放性和包容
and
性”,表示不同的概念,因此谓语动词用复数形式。故填are shown。
2.the 考查冠词。“in the development of … ”意为“在……的发展中”,为固定结构,此处特指在普通话的发展中。故填the。
3.What 考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知,所填词引导主语从句,且在主语从句中作主语,表示“什么”之意,因此用what引导;位于句首,what的首字母要大写。故填What。
4.believing 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处为with复合结构“with+宾语+宾补”,宾语some指代some people,与believe之间为主动关系,因此宾补需用现在分词形式。故填believing。
5.through/by 考查介词。此处表示“像这样的担忧可以通过交流、解释及澄清来缓解和消除”。 表示“通过……方式”,可用介词through或by。故填through或by。
6.to break 考查非谓语动词。此处用不定式作表语。故填to break。
7.effectively 考查副词。此处用副词形式修饰动词deepen(加深)。故填effectively。
8.development 考查名词。根据空前的the和空后的of可知,此处需填develop的名词形式, 作help的宾语。故填development。
9.more proud 考查形容词比较级。根据空后的than before可知,此处应用比较级作宾语补足语。故填more proud。
10.and 考查连词。 will后的strengthen our ethnic unity、enrich our culture和promote our love for each other为并列关系,应用并列连词and连接。故填and。
感谢聆听,再见!
