2.哪些词在句子中需重读?
在连贯的话语中,不可能所有的词都同样重要,必须有些词较为关键,有些词则相对次要。一般来说,关键词需要重读,这就是句子的重音,而其他词则不必重读。或者可以说成:实词重读, 虚词不重读。
一般需要重读的词(实词/关键词):实义动词、名词、形容词、副词、数词、疑问词和感叹词等。
Reading —体会式朗读
一般不需要重读的词(虚词/非关键词):助动词、情态动词、冠词、介词、连词、物主代词、关系代词和关系副词等。
另外,人称代词、连词、介词和助动词等一般不重读,但在特定情景中,也需要重读。如人称代词作并列主语或宾语时需重读,句首的介词也需要重读,作主语或宾语的指示代词也需要重读。
注意:上文刚出现过的并且重读的单词,第二次提到时一般不再重读。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题5分,共35分)
A
Whether it is for a special festival,to express thanks or to just let someone know that you care about them,giving gifts is a common custom. The purpose of giving gifts may be similar,but the tradition varies from country to country. A gift of respect in one place may be considered rude in another. Take a look at three unique gift-giving traditions.
India
If you're invited to someone's home in India,you should bring a small gift,whether it's a box of chocolates or some flowers.Gifts shouldn't be wrapped in black or white colors,because they are considered unlucky. Instead,use bright colors such as green,red or yellow.When giving money for any occasion,it should have an odd number(奇数)value.That's believed to bring good luck.Instead of receiving a gift with both hands,Indians generally only use their right hand because left hand is considered unclean.
Japan
For most Japanese,the ritual(礼节)of giving presents is more important than the gifts themselves.The correct way is to present or receive gifts with both hands. Every gift should be wrapped.That's because uncovered gifts are considered disrespectful.To show politeness and thanks,those who are receiving the gift may turn it down once or twice before finally accepting it. Gifts should be given in pairs,but four should be avoided just like in China.Lucky numbers also include eight.Eight is said to bring prosperity.
Native America
While it may be common for guests to prepare gifts for hosts,this is different in Native American communities. From weddings to birthday celebrations,guests are the ones who receive gifts. Gifts are usually homemade arts and crafts that are made by hand to show love,respect and appreciation.
语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了三个国家独特的送礼传统。
1.What kind of gift would you bring to an Indian home?
A.Some chocolates in a green box.
B.Flowers wrapped in black paper.
C.Sixty dollars in a yellow envelope.
D.Seventy-five rupees wrapped in white paper.
推理判断题。根据India小标题下“Gifts shouldn't be wrapped in... have an odd number(奇数) value.”可知,A项(绿色盒子装的巧克力)可以。故选A项。
√
2.Why don't Japanese accept a gift at once?
A.To get another better gift.
B.To be more polite and thankful.
C.To refuse one's kindness.
D.To be more outgoing and active.
细节理解题。根据Japan小标题下“To show politeness and thanks,those who are receiving the gift may turn it down once or twice before finally accepting it.”可知,日本人不马上接受礼物是为了表示更加礼貌和感谢,故选B项。
√
3.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To list some attractive festivals.
B.To compare some countries.
C.To recommend some formal gifts.
D.To introduce some gift-giving traditions.
写作目的题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段中“Take a look at three unique gift-giving traditions.”及后面三段介绍了三个国家的送礼传统可知,本文的写作目的是为了介绍一些送礼传统,故选D项。

(2024·吉林东北师大附高高一上期末)
The tradition of giving gifts didn't start with the modern holidays we celebrate. Many ancient cultures celebrated holidays with the exchange of gifts. People who love to give gifts often can't wait until it's time for the recipients to open their gifts.If you've ever been given a gift,you know that part of the fun is the curiosity that builds as you wonder what the gift is.
The wish to hide the identity of a gift until just the right moment led people to wrap gifts long long ago.Historians believed wrapping gifts in paper probably started not long after paper was invented thousands of years ago.
Wrapping paper like what we use today,though,is a much more recent invention.More than 100 years ago,gifts were usually wrapped in heavy brown paper.Before that,cloth was often used.The technology to mass-produce wrapping paper didn't come along until the early 1900s.The first American gift wrap company— Hy-Sill Manufacturing Inc.— was founded by Eli Hyman and Morris Silverman in 1903.It wasn't as easy to wrap presents then as it is today,though,because adhesive tape (胶带)wasn't invented until 1930.
Over the years,wrapping paper has developed into what we see in stores each holiday season.But scientists say that the United States alone produces an extra 5 million tons of waste over the holidays,most of which is from wrapping paper and shopping bags.To cut down on this waste,some people carefully unwrap presents,so that the wrapping paper can be reused.Others have started to use reusable gift bags instead of wrapping paper.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了包装纸的由来和发展以及带来的环境污染等背后的故事。
4.What is the interesting part of people giving a gift?
A.Hiding their gifts and their feelings.
B.Giving the recipients a surprise.
C.Letting the recipients open gifts at once.
D.Following a century-old tradition.
细节理解题。根据第一段中“If you've ever been given a gift,you know that part of the fun is the curiosity that builds as you wonder what the gift is.”可知,当人们收到礼物时,其中的一部分乐趣就是好奇心带来的惊喜。所以人们送礼物的有趣之处在于引起他的好奇心,给他一个惊喜。故选B项。
√
5.What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A.People didn't wrap gifts until 1903.
B.People only used heavy brown paper to wrap gifts.
C.Technology made wrapping paper widely available.
D.Adhesive tape was first created by gift wrap companies.
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The technology to mass-produce wrapping paper didn't come along until the early 1900s.”可推知,大规模的生产包装纸技术使得包装纸被广泛使用。故选C项。
√
6.What do scientists worry about?
A.The future of reusable gift bags.
B.The waste produced by Americans.
C.Wrapping paper's influence on the environment.
D.People's awareness of saving paper.
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But scientists say that the United States alone produces an extra 5 million tons of waste over the holidays,most of which is from wrapping paper and shopping bags.”可知,科学家担心包装纸会给环境带来压力。故选C项。
√
7.What does the text mainly tell us?
A.The popularity of wrapping gifts.
B.The start of wrapping gifts in paper.
C.The problems caused by wrapping paper.
D.The story behind wrapping paper.
√
主旨大意题。第二段中“Historians believed wrapping gifts in paper probably started not long after paper was invented thousands of years ago.”介绍了包装纸的由来和发展;最后一段中“But scientists say that the United States alone produces an extra 5 million tons of waste over the holidays,most of which is from wrapping paper and shopping bags.”介绍了包装纸会带来很多垃圾。所以,本文主要介绍了包装纸的由来和发展以及带来的环境污染等背后的故事。故选D项。

语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在小时候过圣诞节的故事,从收到妈妈送给自己礼物时候的不理解,到自己成了妈妈之后才体会到了妈妈给孩子付出的快乐。
1.A.cold B.considerate
C.cool D.responsible
2.A.checked B.registered
C.observed D.found
根据后文“On Christmas morning,we rushed into the living room and opened our presents ”可知,作者每一次得到机会,都会在圣诞树下检查(check)每件礼物。

根据上句“I knew I should not be so excited about Christmas presents.”可知,作者知道自己不应该对圣诞礼物这么兴奋,应该保持冷静(cool)。
3.A.rich B.damaged
C.excited D.tough
4.A.cry B.sigh
C.sob D.sit
根据下句“and looked disappointed”可知,每当妈妈看到这些礼物时,她都会叹气(sigh),看起来很失望。

根据上句“The company of my family went broke”可知,作者家的公司破产了,对于作者家来说,这是艰难的(tough)一年。
5.A.pile up B.pack up
C.store up D.build up
6.A.order B.thought
C.reason D.mind
根据后文“Getting presents was the whole point!”可知,作者觉得得到礼物才是重点。因此认为说“给予比接受更好”这句话的人一定是疯了。out of one's mind意为“失去理智”。

7.A.secretly B.optimistically
C.obviously D.hurriedly
8.A.written B.spelled
C.recorded D.carved
根据空后“in my mother's handwriting”可知,上面贴了一张新标签,上面有我母亲的笔迹,写着(write)我的名字。

9.A.expect B.wonder
C.understand D.imagine
10.A.watered B.filled
C.ran D.dropped
根据上句“Though this may seem a simple gift,to me it was a huge act.”可知,虽然这似乎是一个简单的礼物,但对作者来说这是一个巨大的举动。因此泪水充满了(fill)作者的眼睛。
√
√
根据“I was stopped by my mother's joyful look—a look I could not really”可知,作者无法真正理解(understand)妈妈的眼神。
11.A.amazement B.embarrassment
C.confusion D.disbelief
√
根据后文“Now,as an adult with children in my life,I can understand my mom's actions.”可知,作者当时难以置信地想,妈妈一定有多爱自己才能放弃她的圣诞节,这样作者才能多收到几件礼物。in disbelief意为“难以置信地”。
12.A.away B.in
C.up D.out
13.A.thought B.believed
C.hold D.had
现在作者明白了妈妈并没有像自己曾认为(think)的那样“放弃她的圣诞节”,而是找到了更大的快乐,因为给予确实比接受更好。

14.A.purer B.quicker
C.greater D.longer
15.A.love B.world
C.present D.Christmas
在经济困难时期,妈妈仍然为作者惊喜准备圣诞礼物,这一举动对一个小孩子来说意味着整个世界,此处用the world突出妈妈的爱。
