WHY DO WE CELEBRATE FESTIVALS
Festivals are celebrated all around the world.They have a wide range of① origins, such as the seasons of the year, religions, famous figures, and important events. Every festival has its different customs and unique charms②.However, no matter how different they may seem, all over the world, the spirit of sharing joy, gratitude, love, or peace is common in all festivals.
Of all the traditional festivals, the harvest festival can be found in almost every culture.This important agricultural festival takes place③ after all the crops have been gathered in.People celebrate to show that they are grateful for④ the year's supply of food.In ancient Egypt, the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime—the Egyptian harvest season.It featured a parade and a great feast with music, dancing, and sports.Today, in some European countries, people decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and get together to celebrate over a meal.During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes.
Customs play a significant role in⑤ festivals, but sometimes they can change over time.With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas, some traditions may fade away⑥ and others may be established.One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year.Nowadays, many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution.Another example is Halloween, which slowly became an exciting festival for children, in spite of⑦ its religious origins.
Festivals are becoming more and more commercial⑧, with businesses taking advantage of⑨ the celebrations.Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones.Although some believe festivals should not be commercialised, others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy and public happiness.
Festivals are an important part of society.They reflect people's wishes, beliefs, faiths, and attitudes towards life.They are occasions that allow us to relax and enjoy life, and forget about our work for a little while.They help us understand where we came from, who we are, and what to appreciate.And if you study festivals carefully, you may be surprised to find that different cultures actually have a lot in common⑩ after all.

写作任务
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Sandy and Jane came to see the jobo tree on the hilltop again.Jobos were their favorite fruit, but the tree belonged to a lady who lived in the house by the hill.They heard she was difficult, but that sometimes she would give fruit in return for an errand(差使).
The girls finally gathered their courage to knock on her door.An elderly woman with a fierce look answered, staring down at the girls.“We heard...” said Sandy, her voice shaky, “that you give jobos in payment for running an errand.”
The lady raised one eyebrow, then went into the kitchen and took two baskets. She pushed them into the girls' hands.“Go to fill these with jobos, and come right back.”
The girls raced up the hill to the tree and filled the baskets with the ripest jobos. Back at the house, the lady filled a bag with rice and handed it to Sandy. “Take this bag and one basket of jobos to the Brown family.And ask them for the payment,” the lady added with a tight smile.“If you return without the payment, you won't get the fruit.”
The girls struggled all the way with the bag and the basket.When they were there, Mrs.Brown answered the door.Inside on the floor were three little children, each painting something on papers.
Mr.Brown was lying sick in bed.Times were hard.
The girls handed her the food.“This is from the lady with the jobo tree,” said Sandy.
“She asked for the payment, too.” Jane said awkwardly.
“The payment! The payment!” The children repeated, waving the paper in their hands happily.
Sandy and Jane looked at each other strangely.With a smile, Mrs.Brown handed Sandy a large sealed(密封的)envelope so full that it was almost starting to break open.The girls said goodbye and left quickly.“I wonder,” Sandy murmured, “whether Mrs.Brown can afford to pay for that food.”
Worried, the two girls discussed what was in the envelope as they returned._________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The lady opened the envelope, took out a pile of papers, and smiled.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
写作思路
Step 1:分析主体语篇,梳理原文主题
段落 大意
Paragraph 1 Sandy and Jane visited the jobo tree on the hilltop, which belonged to a difficult lady.
Paragraphs 2-3 The girls offered to run an errand for the lady in exchange for some jobos and the woman agreed.
Paragraph 4 The girls collected the jobos and the lady asked them to take one basket of jobos to the Brown family.
Paragraphs 5-10 Girls deliver food to the Browns, uncertain if they can afford payment.
Step 2:找准5W,明确写作背景
who Sandy,Jane,a lady living in the house by the hill,the Browns
when They walked back to the elderly woman's house.
where on their way back
what Sandy and Jane were asked to get the payment from the Browns.
why The lady would give fruit in return for an errand.
Step 3:分析人物细节,了解人物性格
人物 人物细节 人物性格
Sandy
and Jane The girls finally gathered their courage to knock on her door. nervous,awkward,hesitant
said Sandy, her voice shaky.
Jane said awkwardly.
the lady They heard she was difficult. fierce,difficult,skeptical
An elderly woman with a fierce look answered.
The lady raised one eyebrow.
She pushed them into the girls' hands.
The lady added with a tight smile.
Step 4:根据续写首句,敲定写作框架
第一段 根据续写第一段首句“当她们往回走的时候,她们担心地讨论信封里面是什么东西。”和第二段首句“女士打开了信封,里面是一沓纸,她笑了。”得出第一段应描写她们对于信封中内容的猜测的心理和语言活动、她们将信封交给老太太的过程。
第二段 根据续写第二段首句“女士打开了信封,里面是一沓纸,她笑了。”结合正能量结尾,得出第二段应描写女士接下来的反应以及女孩们获得的回报以及她们从中得出的感悟。
Step 5:寻找隐含伏笔,升华续写主题
伏笔 升华主题
第一段中“They heard she was difficult”和第二段中“An elderly woman with a fierce look”描写了一个不好相处、一脸凶相的老太太。 文首的老太太难以相处、一脸凶相,续写段应揭示冰冷的外表下隐藏的是一颗善良、温暖和热情的心,因此Sandy和Jane不仅收获了想要的水果,更明白了不能以貌取人,以及要把善良传递下去的决心。
第二段中“said Sandy, her voice shaky”描写了两个女孩非常害怕老太太。
参考范文
Worried, the two girls discussed what was in the envelope as they returned. “I think so,” Jane answered.This time, both of them paused, sunk in thought. Staring at the envelope for so long(动词-ing形式作状语), they suddenly found the envelope cracked, and there was a chink, through which they found no money(“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句).It seemed that things became more confusing(主语从句).Hence, they sped up towards the older woman's home, worrying whether they could get their favorite jobos.It wasn't long before they returned and gave the envelope to the older woman, nervousness and curiosity overwhelming them(心理描写).
The lady opened the envelope, took out a pile of papers, and smiled.Getting closer to those papers(动词-ing形式作状语), they surprisedly found that they were the paintings from the three little kids! So surprised were they that they stood there(so...that...句型的倒装句), frozen(过去分词作状语).The older woman thanked them and took out another two baskets of jobos.Their favorite jobos in the older woman's hands were in marked contrast to the cold impression on her, which gave them a lesson(非限制性定语从句)that we shouldn't judge others easily(同位语从句) because a warm heart might hide through a hard face.A new plan was formed in their mind—they decided to help the Browns as well.

1.Chinese knot 中国结
Chinese knot is a decorative handicraft art that began as a form of
Chinese folk art in the Tang and Song dynasties (960-1279 AD)
in China.It was later popularized in the Ming Dynasty.The art is
also referred to as Chinese traditional decorative knots.
中国结是一种手工装饰艺术品,作为中国民间的一种艺术形式,它起源于唐宋时期(公元960-1279年),之后在明朝广受人们的喜爱。这种艺术也被视为中国的传统装饰绳编。
2.History 历史
Archaeological studies indicate that the art of tying knots dates back to prehistoric times. Recent discoveries include 100,000-year-old bone needles used for sewing and bodkins,which were used to untie knots.
考古研究指出,编结这种艺术可追溯到史前时期。最新关于这种编结的发现,包括十万年前用于缝纫的骨针和解开编结的粗针。
3.Craftsmanship 手艺技巧
One major characteristic of decorative knotwork is that all the knots are tied using one piece of thread,which is usually about one meter in length. However,finished knots look identical from both the front and back.
装饰结的一个主要特点是所有的结是用一根线来编织的,这条线通常有一米长。然而,完成后的结从正面和反面看都是一样的。
4.Art and Culture 艺术与文化
There are many different shapes of Chinese knots,the most common being butterflies,flowers,birds,dragons,fish,and even shoes.Culturally they were expected to ward off evil spirits similar to bagua mirrors or act as good-luck charms for Chinese marriages.
中国结有许多不同的形状,最常见的是蝴蝶、花朵、鸟、龙和鱼,甚至是鞋状的。传统上,中国结就像八卦镜一样,常常用来避邪或者在中国的婚姻中充当好运的护身符。

It was New Year time,but I wasn't looking forward to it.That winter,my mother and my stepfather moved our family to Southern California.My brother and I were leaving our rural Alabama behind.This would be our first New Year away from Alabama.My mother took to California like a swan to a royal lake.My athletic little brother,Paul,was keyed up at a climate that allowed him to go to the beach whenever he wanted.
I,however,was a fat child with heavy southern pronunciation.My first day in the new class,I introduced myself in a low voice.The moment I opened my mouth to speak,the whole class burst into laughter,“He talks funny.” It was so frustrating that I went to place a call to Granny Smith after school,who was my biggest support.But I didn't get through.
On Sunday evening,the phone rang.It was Granny.She often took advantage of the discounted long-distance rates on Sundays.She said she'd shipped a New Year package.Sure enough,it arrived.Surprised at the box,large enough to hold a small refrigerator,we eagerly tore it open.The smell of Granny's house filled the room:a combination of fried meat,sausages,furniture polish and decorations.Her house was tiny and always filled with tacky holiday decorations and homemade food before New Year.But in my childhood eyes,it was precious and fantastic.
There were countless tins and containers.We open them to discover piles of holiday treats.She even included our traditional candy bars.The box was as bottomless as a magical box.There,beneath all these,was familiar holiday.
Every New Year that we spent in California,the postal service would call and say our package was arrived.Over the years,many treasures arrived in the box.For me,it's always been the best part of the holiday.

Each year,the women of Olney and Liberal compete in an unusual footrace.Dressed in aprons(围裙)and headscarves,they wait at both towns' starting lines.Each woman holds a frying pan with one pancake inside.At the signal,the women flip(轻抛)pancakes and they're off!
This “pancake racing” tradition is said to have started on Shrove Tuesday,1445,in Olney.Shrove Tuesday is the day before the Christian season of Lent(大斋节)begins.During Lent,many people decide to give up sugary or fatty foods.
Legend says that in 1445,an Olney woman was making pancakes to use up some of her sugar and cooking fats before Lent.She lost track of time and suddenly heard the church bells ring,signaling the beginning of the Shrove Tuesday service.Realizing that she was going to be late for church,she raced out the door still wearing her apron and headscarf and holding her frying pan with a pancake in it.In the following years,the woman's neighbors imitated her dash to church,and pancake racing was born.
The rules are simple.Racers must wear the traditional headscarf and apron. They must flip their pancakes twice—once before starting and once after crossing the finish line.After the race,there are Shrove Tuesday church services. Then Liberal and Olney connect through a video call to compare race times and declare a winner.
In both towns,the races have grown into larger festivals.Olney's festival is an all-day event starting with a big pancake breakfast.Liberal's festival lasts four days and includes a parade,a talent show,and contests that feature eating and flipping pancakes.Although the women's race is still the main event,both towns now hold additional races for boys and girls of all ages.

Halloween is a great time in the lives of both children and adults.However,even the best Halloween can be ruined by trees filled with toilet paper and egg residues(残渣)that won't wash off.How can you keep your home safe on Halloween?There are some measures you can take.
Make it known that you're at home.Pranksters are less likely to play a trick if they know someone is at home.You may want to close the glass on your screen door and open your front door so that you can see everyone moving around outside.This also allows pranksters to see that you're at home.
Turn on the lights inside your home and outside.Having all the lights on lets pranksters know that you're not only at home,but you're awake.If a prankster knows you're awake,he'll be more likely to skip your house and head for another one.Even if you need to get in bed early,keep all the lights on except in your bedroom.Pranksters aren't going to know which room is your bedroom.
Ask the police to patrol(巡逻)the area.It's a policeman's job to keep citizens safe,especially on Halloween.In some cities the crime rate can increase fast on October 31.A polite call to your local police station should get you the service you need.Above all,no pranksters are going to throw eggs at your house when the policemen are patrolling the area.
Set up a neighborhood watch.One of the best ways to keep your home safe on Halloween is to get the neighbors involved.No one wants his trees covered with toilet paper.Ask your neighbors to keep their eyes open and to follow the same steps you've taken to help keep your home safe.If the entire neighborhood is lit up,pranksters are less likely to stop by.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何确保我们的住所在万圣节前夕避免受到一些爱搞恶作剧的人的破坏。
词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“to play a trick(开玩笑,作弄)”可猜测,画线词Pranksters指那些搞恶作剧的人,故选B项。
32.The underlined word “Pranksters” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Persons who like Halloween very much.
B.Persons who play practical jokes on people.
C.Persons who often commit a crime at night.
D.Persons who enter one's house by force.

33.How can you make pranksters know you are at home and skip your house?
A.By moving around outside your house.
B.By closing your front door.

(2024·安徽省宿州市高一上期中)
Mike Hampton was the owner of a shop in a small town.He got the shop after his grandfather's death.The little front window was always full of beautiful old things:jewelry of a hundred years ago, gold rings and silver boxes, carved figures from China and Japan and other countries.
On this winter afternoon, a girl stood there, her face close to the window, large and serious eyes, studying each piece as if she was looking for something special. Finally, looking satisfied, she stepped back from the window and entered the shop. Mike himself stood behind the counter. His eyes were cold as he looked at the small customer. “Please,” she began, “would you let me have a look at the pretty string of blue beads in the window?” Mike took the string of blue beads from the window. The beads were really beautiful against his hand as he held the necklace up for her to see.
“They are what I'm looking for! They are perfect.” said the girl as though she were alone with the beads.“Will you wrap them up in pretty paper for me, please?” Mike looked at her carefully.“Are you buying these for someone?” “Yes, sir.They are for my elder sister.She takes care of me.You see, this will be the first Christmas since Mother died.I have been looking for the most wonderful gift for my sister...”
“How much money do you have?” asked Mike.She put a handful of pennies on the counter.“This is all I have,” she explained simply. “I've been saving the money for my sister's present.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150词左右;

Then he carefully closed his hand over the price mark on the necklace so that she could not see it.How could he tell her the price? The happy look in her big blue eyes struck him.“Just a minute,” he said and went to the back of the shop.When he returned to the front of the shop, he held a package in his hand.It was wrapped in pretty Christmas paper. “There you are,” he said.She smiled happily at him as she ran out of the door.
When the last shopper had gone, later on Christmas Eve, the door opened and a young woman came in. ________________________________________

Without speaking, she put on the counter a package wrapped in pretty Christmas paper. When Mike opened the package, the string of blue beads lay again before him. “Did this come from your shop?” she asked. “Yes, it did,” he said. “But how could she pay for them?” “She paid the biggest price one can ever pay,” he said.For a moment there was no sound in the little shop.Then somewhere in the city, church bells began to ring.It was midnight and the beginning of another Christmas Day.
