[对应学生用书P478] (限时：35分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·河南阶段练习)“Why do Asians usually steam (清蒸) a fish for the New Year when it can be cooked in various ways？” asked Andy Ricker，who ran several famous Thai restaurants in America.“It can be fried or roasted.But if you live on a coast，or have access to first­rate fish，steaming is the best way to go.” Another reason is that，in the right context，fish stand for good luck.The Chinese words for “fish” and “plenty” have the same pronunciation，and a fish，eaten on the eve of the lunar new year，represents a wish for plenty of good things to come.Therefore，enough fish should be cooked to ensure leftovers，which mean hopes for abundance in the year ahead. Such lucky dishes are not unique to Asians.On New Year's Day in America，black southerners have been eating Hoppin'John，a delicious dish of rice and black­eyed beans (豆)，cooked with salted pork or smoked ham(interest in African­American culture has made the recipe popular elsewhere).The beans symbolize coins，and the greens that are usually served as well stand for dollar bills.Some people even put a clean coin in the pot.Whoever gets it on their plate will enjoy a lot of good luck. Diverse as these dishes are，they all represent hopes for good fortune.Fish，beans and greens are neither costly nor extraordinary，suggesting that luck is not something bought expensively or sought with difficulty.Good fortune，they suggest，lies all around，and is always within reach. Whether anyone actually believes in the relationship between eating these foods and receiving the promised benefits is unclear.Mainly，these food traditions continue for the same reason that other traditions do: People have fond memories of celebrating them with their parents，and want to pass them down to their own children. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了不同国家和地区的人在庆祝新年时都不约而同地看重“幸运菜”的原因。 1．What does the underlined word “abundance” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Delicious meals. B．Food left at the end of a meal. C．A lot of good things. D．General situation related to an event. 解析　C　词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“The Chinese words for ‘fish’ and ‘plenty’ have the same pronunciation，and a fish，eaten on the eve of the lunar new year，represents a wish for plenty of good things to come.(汉语中‘鱼’和‘丰富’的发音相同，在农历新年前夕吃的鱼，代表着对很多美好事物的愿望。)”可推断，过年时烹饪足够的鱼意味着希望来年有很多好事发生。abundance指的是“非常多的好事”。故选C。 2．What can we learn about Hoppin'John? A．It is a kind of vegetable. B．It is a piece of delicious meat C．It is a unique lucky name D．It is an African­American dish. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“On New Year's Day in America，black southerners have been eating Hoppin'John，a delicious dish of rice and black­eyed beans (豆)，cooked with salted pork or smoked ham(interest in African­American culture has made the recipe popular elsewhere).[在美国的元旦那天，南方黑人一直在吃跳花约翰，这是一道美味的米饭和黑眼豆(豆)，用咸猪肉或烟熏火腿烹饪(对非裔美国人文化的兴趣使得这个食谱在其他地方很受欢迎)。] ”可知，Hoppin'John是在非裔美国人中流行的一道菜。故选D。 3．Which of the following can best describe the lucky dishes? A．Ordinary. B．Expensive. C．Rare. D．Fresh. 解析　A　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Fish，beans and greens are neither costly nor extraordinary，suggesting that luck is not something bought expensively or sought with difficulty.(鱼、豆类和蔬菜既不昂贵也不特别，这表明运气不是昂贵或困难的东西。)”可知，这些制作“幸运菜”的食材都很普通、易得。故选A。 4．Why do most people follow the tradition according to the author? A．Their parents told them to do so. B．Their children want to carry them on. C．They value the experience behind the food. D．They truly believe in the food­for­luck stories. 解析　C　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mainly，these food traditions continue for the same reason that other traditions do: People have fond memories of celebrating them with their parents，and want to pass them down to their own children.(主要是，这些食物传统继续下去的原因和其他传统一样：人们有和父母一起庆祝它们的美好回忆，并想把它们传给自己的孩子。)”可推断，人们看重的是这些传统背后的情感记忆。故选C。 B (2025·湖南长沙雅礼中学模拟)Boxing Day is an institution in the British calendar，but there is no common consensus as to how it got its name.According to some，it can be traced back to the Victorian era when churches often displayed a box into which their parishioners (教区居民) put donations. However，according to historian Dr Neil Armstrong，the naming of Boxing Day dates back to the 17th century.This was the day，he said，when apprentices would have a box for their employers to tip them a coin or two.While the boxes may have disappeared，the custom of tipping has remained. In the Victorian age，the custom evolved.On Boxing Day，most tradespeople would give their clients a gift to ensure their custom.There were concerns，said Dr Armstrong，that this was a form of bribery (行贿).This custom declined in the 20th century as fewer people had relationships with their local businesses and shops following the rise of supermarkets and shopping centres. “It may not be the reason why Boxing Day got its name，but charitable giving was closely associated with Boxing Day in the Victorian era，” said Dr Armstrong.“In the mid­19th century there began to be indiscriminate (随意的) charitable giving.This would often be begging，and children were usually sent out to do this job.” Nevertheless，the habit of generous charitable giving has continued to be associated with the festive period up to the present day. Boxing Day continued，however，to be a normal working day until 1871，when it was finally classed as a public holiday.“They would often be working until very late on Christmas Eve，so they wanted a break on Boxing Day，” Dr Armstrong said.Then it became known as a day of leisure.Organised sporting events such as football matches became popular—a tradition which has carried on until today. Boxing Day is observed in the United Kingdom，Canada，Australia，New Zealand，South Africa and some other Commonwealth nations.In America，December 26 is known as the Day after Christmas Day，and is observed as a holiday in only a few states. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了“节礼日”的名字起源、发展过程以及现状。 5．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “institution” in the first paragraph? A．Charity system. B．Unpopular festival. C．Local organization. D．Social convention. 解析　D　词句猜测题。根据第一段“According to some，it can be traced back to the Victorian era when churches often displayed a box into which their parishioners (教区居民) put donations.”可知，节礼日是一个社会习俗。故画线词的意思是“社会习俗”。故选D。 6．How is the passage mainly developed? A．By giving examples. B．By making comparisons. C．By following time order. D．By making classification. 解析　C　推理判断题。根据文中的“the 17th century”“in the Victorian era；until 1871”“in the 20th century”“on until today”可知，短文是按照时间顺序展开的。故选C。 7．According to the passage，why did the Boxing Day custom of giving gifts decline in the 20th century? A．Because of the indifferent relationships between people. B．Because of the rise of supermarkets and shopping centres. C．Because of a strict policy，which banned this form of bribery. D．Because of the decrease in the number of tradespeople. 解析　B　细节理解题。根据第三段“This custom declined in the 20th century as fewer people had relationships with their local businesses and shops following the rise of supermarkets and shopping centres.”可知，根据文章，节礼日送礼的习俗在20世纪衰落是因为超市和购物中心的兴起。故选B。 8．What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage? A．To explain the origin of Boxing Day. B．To explain how people celebrate Boxing Day. C．To show that Boxing Day is named after a church donation box. D．To advise people to celebrate Boxing Day. 解析　A　推理判断题。根据第一段“Boxing Day is an institution in the British calendar，but there is no common consensus as to how it got its name.”以及下文对节日的介绍可知，短文目的是解释节礼日的起源。故选A。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2025·浙江金华模拟)As a boy，John Kerr wanted to be a park ranger (护林员). 1 ，he spent four decades at a public broadcasting's station in Boston.He 2 at the age of 65 without any particular post­career goal in mind.
