Festivals: East vs West Fun
节日:中西方的欢乐差异
Festivals show how different cultures celebrate! In China, the Spring Festival is all about family. We clean homes, eat jiaozi, and kids get red packets. Firecrackers pop to scare bad luck away.
In Western countries, Christmas is big. Families put up trees with lights, and Santa brings gifts. They sing carols and eat turkey.
Both festivals are about love, but in different ways. Chinese like red for good luck; Westerners love green Christmas trees. We visit relatives; they have parties with friends. How fun to learn from each other!
节日展示了不同文化的庆祝方式!在中国,春节是全家团圆的日子。我们打扫房屋、吃饺子,孩子们还能收到红包。鞭炮声响起,吓跑坏运气。
在西方国家,圣诞节是重头戏。家家户户竖起挂着彩灯的圣诞树,圣诞老人会带来礼物。人们唱圣诞颂歌,吃火鸡大餐。
这两个节日都充满爱,却各有特色。中国人喜欢红色求好运,西方人偏爱绿色圣诞树;我们走亲访友,他们和朋友开派对。互相学习真是太有趣啦!
【长难句分析】
1. Festivals show how different cultures celebrate!
翻译:节日展示了不同的文化是如何庆祝的!
分析:这是一个主谓宾结构的复合句,主句是 “Festivals show”,“how different cultures celebrate” 是宾语从句,作 “show” 的宾语,其中 “how” 在从句中作方式状语,说明 “庆祝” 的方式。
2. Both festivals are about love, but in different ways.
翻译:这两个节日都与爱有关,但方式不同。
分析:这是一个由 “but” 连接的并列句,前半句 “Both festivals are about love” 为主系表结构,后半句 “in different ways” 是介词短语作状语,表方式,体现转折关系。
3. Chinese like red for good luck; Westerners love green Christmas trees.
翻译:中国人喜欢红色以求好运;西方人喜欢绿色的圣诞树。
分析:这是一个由分号连接的并列句,前后两句结构对称,均为主谓宾结构,分别描述中西方在节日元素喜好上的差异,分号在此处起到连接两个并列事实的作用。

New Year Fun Around the World
全球新年趣俗
When the New Year bell is about to ring, people around the world are ready to welcome this special moment in their own unique ways! In Turkiye, you'll find small piles of white salt at the doorsteps of many families. Elders say salt acts like a magic barrier, keeping bad luck of the coming year out and leaving only peace and good fortune. On the streets of Greece, you'll notice plump onions hanging on many doorways. This isn't a strange decoration—Greeks believe onions symbolize the vitality of life, bringing health and blessings to their families and filling the new year with energy.
当新年的钟声即将敲响,世界各地的人们早已准备好用独特的方式迎接这个特别的时刻!在土耳其,家家户户的门口都会出现一小堆洁白的盐。老人们说,盐能像一道魔法屏障,把来年的坏运气统统挡在门外,只留下平安和好运。而在希腊的街头,你会发现许多家门上挂着饱满的洋葱。这可不是什么奇怪的装饰 —— 希腊人相信,洋葱象征着生命的活力,能为家人带来健康和福气,让新的一年充满生机。
Danish families celebrate the New Year with energy. Before midnight, the whole family stands on chairs, eyes fixed on the clock. When the hands point to 12, everyone jumps off the chairs together, as if they can step on all the troubles of the past year and walk into the new year. The streets of Colombia are even livelier, with many people strolling around the block with suitcases. Don't think they're going on a trip; it's actually a sweet wish: hoping to have the chance to visit more places and see more beautiful scenery in the new year.
丹麦的家庭则用充满活力的方式跨年。午夜来临前,全家人会不约而同地站上椅子,眼睛紧盯着时钟。当指针指向 12 点,大家会一起从椅子上跳下来,仿佛这样就能把过去一年的烦恼统统踩在脚下,轻松走进新的一年。哥伦比亚的街头更热闹,不少人拖着行李箱在街区里漫步。别以为他们要出门旅行,这其实是个甜蜜的愿望:希望新的一年能有机会去更多地方,看更美的风景。
Though these customs may seem strange, when fireworks bloom in the night sky, people from different countries all have the same smile on their faces. Because no matter how they celebrate, everyone's wish is the same—hoping for a safe, happy, and surprising new year!
虽然这些习俗看起来千奇百怪,但当烟花在夜空中绽放时,不同国家的人们脸上都洋溢着同样的笑容。因为无论用什么方式庆祝,大家心中的愿望都一样 —— 期盼新的一年平安、快乐、充满惊喜!
【长难句分析】
1. When the New Year bell is about to ring, people around the world are ready to welcome this special moment in their own unique ways!
翻译:当新年钟声即将敲响时,世界各地的人们都准备好用自己独特的方式迎接这个特殊的时刻!
分析:这是一个复合句。"When the New Year bell is about to ring" 是时间状语从句,说明主句动作发生的时间;主句 "people around the world are ready to welcome this special moment in their own unique ways" 为主谓宾结构,"in their own unique ways" 是方式状语,修饰 "welcome"。
2. Elders say salt acts like a magic barrier, keeping bad luck of the coming year out and leaving only peace and good fortune.
翻译:长辈们说,盐就像一道神奇的屏障,将来年的厄运挡在外面,只留下平安与好运。
分析:主句是 "Elders say",后面接宾语从句 "salt acts like a magic barrier";"keeping bad luck... and leaving only..." 是现在分词短语作伴随状语,说明 "salt acts like a magic barrier" 时伴随的结果。
3. Though these customs may seem strange, when fireworks bloom in the night sky, people from different countries all have the same smile on their faces.
翻译:尽管这些习俗可能看起来很奇怪,但当烟花在夜空中绽放时,来自不同国家的人们脸上都带着同样的笑容。
分析:这是一个多重复合句。"Though these customs may seem strange" 是让步状语从句,表转折;"when fireworks bloom in the night sky" 是时间状语从句,说明主句的时间背景;主句 "people from different countries all have the same smile on their faces" 为主谓宾结构,"from different countries" 是定语修饰 "people"。

Passage1
(24-25七年级上·南京·单元测)
Thanksgiving Day is coming. Miss Green asks her students to do some special 1 as homework. "Please draw a picture to show your 2 ," says Miss Green.
Then everyone begins to draw pictures. Most of the class draw a turkey or other traditional things, but Douglas, a shy (害羞的) boy, draws a 3 thing. He only draws one hand. Miss Green is very 4 .
"Whose hand is it?" Miss Green asks Douglas. His classmates are also surprised at his picture. One child says, "It must be a 5 hand because farmers kill turkeys." Others guess it is his father's hand because Douglas's family is very 6 and his father has to work day and night for money.
"It's 7 hand," answers Douglas.
"Mine? Why do you draw my hand?" asks Miss Green.
"You often 8 my hand to play outside. And you teach me how to hold my pencil. Your hands are very
9 to me."
The teacher's eyes become 10 . Oh, the boy is thanking his teacher.
1. A. question B. gifts C. work D. toys
2. A. thanks B. wishes C. asks D. energy
3. A. lovely B. difficult C. beautiful D. different
4. A. excited B. unhappy C. sick D. surprised (吃惊的)
5. A. mother's B. friend's C. doctor's D. farmer's
6. A. poor B. happy C. rich D. clean
7. A. her B. your C. my D. our
8. A. draw B. give C. take D. teach
9. A. kind B. warm C. cute D. strange (奇怪的)
10. A. wet B. weak C. wide D. pretty
【答案】
1. C 2. A 3. D 4. D 5. D 6. A 7. B 8. C 9. B 10. A
【导语】本文讲述了感恩节来临之际,格林老师让学生们画一幅画来表达感恩。大多数学生画了火鸡等传统事物,但害羞的男孩道格拉斯却画了一只手。在老师和同学的疑惑中,道格拉斯解释这是格林老师的手,因为老师经常牵他的手出去玩,还教他握铅笔,这双手对他来说意义重大。老师听后深受感动,眼眶湿润。文章通过道格拉斯的画,展现了学生对老师的感恩之情。
1. 句意:格林老师让学生们做一些特别的作业。
分析:根据后文 “as homework”(作为家庭作业),可知此处需填入与 “作业” 相关的词。“work” 可泛指 “任务、工作”,符合语境;“question”(问题)、“gifts”(礼物)、“toys”(玩具)均与 “作业” 无关。
2. 句意:请画一幅画来表达你的感恩。
分析:文章开头提到 “Thanksgiving Day is coming”(感恩节快到了),感恩节的核心是表达感恩,因此画的主题应与 “感谢” 相关。“thanks”(感恩)符合节日背景;“wishes”(愿望)、“asks”(请求)、“energy”(能量)均不符合语境。
3. 句意:但道格拉斯,一个害羞的男孩,画了一件不同的东西。
分析:前文提到 “Most of the class draw a turkey or other traditional things”(班里大多数人画了火鸡或其他传统事物),而道格拉斯 “only draws one hand”(只画了一只手),前后形成对比,说明他的画 “不同”。“different”(不同的)符合逻辑;“lovely”(可爱的)、“difficult”(困难的)、“beautiful”(美丽的)均未体现对比。
4. 句意:格林老师非常吃惊。
分析:结合上下文,大多数学生画传统事物,而道格拉斯只画了一只手,这种与众不同的画会让人感到意外。后文也提到 “His classmates are also surprised at his picture”(他的同学也对他的画感到吃惊),通过 “also” 可推断老师同样 “吃惊”。“excited”(兴奋的)、“unhappy”(不高兴的)、“sick”(生病的)均不符合语境。
5. 句意:一定是农民的手,因为农民杀火鸡。
分析:学生猜测手的主人时,后文明确提到 “because farmers kill turkeys”(因为农民杀火鸡),直接提示手可能是 “农民的”。其他选项 “mother's”(妈妈的)、“friend's”(朋友的)、“doctor's”(医生的)均与 “杀火鸡” 无关。
6. 句意:其他人猜测是他爸爸的手,因为道格拉斯家很穷,他爸爸不得不日夜工作赚钱。
分析:根据 “his father has to work day and night for money”(他爸爸不得不日夜工作赚钱),可推断家庭经济条件不好,即 “贫穷”。“poor”(贫穷的)符合逻辑;“happy”(快乐的)、“rich”(富有的)、“clean”(干净的)均与 “日夜工作赚钱” 的原因不符。
7. 句意:是你的手。
分析:后文老师反问 “Mine? Why do you draw my hand?”(我的?你为什么画我的手?),通过 “mine”(我的)可推断道格拉斯回答的是 “你的手”。“your”(你的)符合对话逻辑;“her”(她的)、“my”(我的)、“our”(我们的)均与老师的反问不符。
8. 句意:你经常牵我的手去外面玩。
分析:“take one's hand” 是固定搭配,意为 “牵某人的手”,符合 “出去玩” 的动作场景。“draw”(画)、“give”(给)、“teach”(教)均无法与 “hand” 搭配表达 “牵手” 的含义。
9. 句意:你的手对我来说非常温暖。
分析:道格拉斯描述老师的手时,提到老师牵他玩、教他握笔,这些都是温暖的举动,因此手给人的感觉是 “温暖的”。“warm”(温暖的)符合情感表达;“kind”(善良的,修饰人)、“cute”(可爱的)、“strange”(奇怪的)均不符合语境。
10. 句意:老师的眼睛变得湿润了。
分析:道格拉斯的话表达了对老师的感恩,老师被感动,通常会 “眼眶湿润”。“wet”(湿润的)符合感动时的生理反应;“weak”(虚弱的)、“wide”(宽阔的)、“pretty”(漂亮的)均与 “感动” 的语境无关。
Passage 2
(24-25七年级上·南京·月考)
Jake is 9 years old. He lives in an orphanage (孤儿院) with nine other children. The orphanage has very little money, so the children have very little food to eat. But on Christmas Day, the children can get an orange. It is the best gift of the season for each child.
But Jake can't have his Christmas orange this year, because he breaks a cup on 23 December. After a day's wait, he still can't get the treat. Jake is very sad. He cries in his bed all the night before Christmas Day.
Jake spends Christmas Day alone. Nobody is around him. The light is off. Jake climbs back to his bed, but he can't sleep. Someone touches Jake, puts something in his hand and then goes away.
Jake doesn't know what's in his hand. He climbs down the bed. By the moonlight, he sees a different orange in his hand. It has nine segments (瓣) from nine other oranges.
1. The children in the orphanage have little food to eat because ______.
A. the orphanage doesn't have much money B. the children often make mistakes (错误)
C. there are too many children D. the children eat too much
2. The children can get an orange ______.
A. once a year B. twice a year C. three times a year D. many times a year
3. Jake can’t get his orange this year because ______.
A. he gives it to others B. he breaks a cup
C. he doesn't like it D. there are only nine oranges
4. Jake gets the different orange on ______.
A. 23 December B. 24 December C. 25 December D. 26 December
5. The different orange is probably (也许) from ______.
A. Jake's teacher B. Jake's parents C. Jake's good friend D. nine other children
【答案】
1. A 2. A 3. B 4. C 5. D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了 9 岁的杰克住在孤儿院,因打碎杯子而不能在圣诞节得到橙子,最终却收到了一个由其他九个孩子各自分出一瓣橙子组成的特别橙子的故事,体现了孩子们之间的友爱。
1. 细节理解题。根据文中 “The orphanage has very little money, so the children have very little food to eat.” 可知,孤儿院钱很少,所以孩子们食物很少,A 选项符合语境。
2. 推理判断题。文中提到 “But on Christmas Day, the children can get an orange.”,圣诞节一年一次,由此可推断孩子们一年能得到一次橙子,A 选项符合语境。
3. 细节理解题。由 “But Jake can't have his Christmas orange this year, because he breaks a cup on 23 December.” 可知,杰克今年得不到橙子是因为他打碎了一个杯子,B 选项符合语境。
4. 细节理解题。文中先说明圣诞节孩子们能得到橙子,接着讲述杰克圣诞节当天很孤独,后来有人给了他那个特别的橙子,圣诞节是 12 月 25 日,所以 C 选项符合语境。
5. 推理判断题。根据 “It has nine segments (瓣) from nine other oranges.” 以及杰克和其他九个孩子住在孤儿院,可推断这个特别的橙子可能来自其他九个孩子,D 选项符合语境。

【导语】这段文字围绕中国春节展开,介绍了春节的时间、生肖纪年、节前准备、除夕及新年第一天的习俗等内容,展现了春节的重要性和丰富内涵。
1. 句意:它(春节)通常在一月到二月之间。
分析:前文提到春节是中国重要的节日,多数家庭会庆祝。此处需要一个承接上文,介绍春节基本信息的句子。C 选项说明了春节的时间范围,符合语境,与前文对春节的总体提及相衔接。
2. 句意:而且今年是兔年。
分析:前文指出中国用动物来命名年份,还举例虎年、猴年、鸡年。F 选项承接这一内容,具体说明今年的生肖年份,与上文关于生肖纪年的描述紧密相关,是对生肖命名这一信息的延续。
3. 句意:在那之前,他们通常会贴春联。
分析:前文讲春节前人们忙着购物和打扫房子。B 选项提到的贴春联是春节前的传统习俗之一,与 “购物、打扫房子” 同属节前准备活动,“that” 指代前文提到的春节,“before that” 表明这是节前的另一项准备工作,符合语境中对节前活动的列举。
4. 句意:晚饭后,所有家庭成员都会熬夜迎接新年。
分析:前文描述除夕家人团聚吃大餐。A 选项中的 “after dinner” 承接 “享用大餐” 这一内容,介绍了除夕晚饭后熬夜守岁的习俗,是对除夕活动的自然延续,符合除夕的传统流程。
5. 句意:他们互相说一些祝福语。
分析:前文说新年第一天人们穿新衣服去拜访亲戚朋友。E 选项描述了拜访时互相说祝福语的行为,与 “拜访亲友” 这一活动相匹配,是拜访过程中的常见举动,符合新年走亲访友的习俗场景。
Passage4
(24-25七年级上·南京·期中)
Boxing Day (节礼日) is a public holiday in the UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. It is also a holiday in many other countries. It is usually celebrated on the day after Christmas Day (December 25th). In some countries this public holiday is moved to the next weekday if December 26th is a Saturday or Sunday.
In some countries, stores have sales on Boxing Day, the same as Black Friday sales in the United States. In the UK, many sports games are played on Boxing Day. There are horse races on that day. There are also football games and some other sports games.
There are different stories as to how Boxing Day got its name. One story is that in the 19th century, December 26th was a day when servants (佣人) to rich English people got time off. Before they went back home, the families they worked for gave them boxes with Christmas presents and food in them. They could take them home to their families. Another story is that before Christmas, people put money, clothes and some other things in collection boxes. On the day after Christmas, people opened up the collection boxes and gave out the money and other things to the poor. Now, some people think Boxing Day is a good time to deal with the boxes and wrappings (包装) left from opened Christmas gifts! Every house has lots of opened boxes under the Christmas tree. They all need to go to the rubbish bin (垃圾桶).
1. When is Boxing Day?
2. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
3. What did the servants of English family do on December 26th in the 19th century?
4. What are collection boxes?
5. What does the underlined phrase “deal with” mean in Chinese?
【答案】
1. It is usually on December 26th (the day after Christmas Day). In some countries, it is moved to the next weekday if December 26th is a Saturday or Sunday.
2. It is mainly about the activities on Boxing Day, such as stores having sales and many sports games being played in the UK.
3. They got time off and received boxes with Christmas presents and food from the families they worked for before going back home.
4. They are boxes where people put money, clothes and some other things before Christmas, and the contents are given out to the poor on the day after Christmas.
5. 处理;应对
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要围绕节礼日(Boxing Day)展开,介绍了其日期(通常为 12 月 26 日,即圣诞节次日,部分国家会根据周末情况调整)、当天的活动(如商店促销、英国的体育赛事等)以及名称由来的几种说法(与佣人收到礼盒、募捐箱分发物资、处理礼物包装等相关)。
1. 题目意思:询问节礼日的日期。
回答依据:文章第一段明确说明 “It is usually celebrated on the day after Christmas Day (December 25th). In some countries this public holiday is moved to the next weekday if December 26th is a Saturday or Sunday.”,直接点明了节礼日的常规日期及特殊情况下的调整规则,因此答案以此为依据。
2. 题目意思:询问第二段的主要内容。
回答依据:第二段开头提到 “In some countries, stores have sales on Boxing Day...”,随后又指出 “In the UK, many sports games are played on Boxing Day...”,整体围绕节礼日当天的活动展开,包括商店促销和英国的各类体育比赛,因此总结为该段主要介绍节礼日的活动。
3. 题目意思:询问 19 世纪英国家庭的佣人在 12 月 26 日会做什么。
回答依据:第三段提到 “One story is that in the 19th century, December 26th was a day when servants to rich English people got time off. Before they went back home, the families they worked for gave them boxes with Christmas presents and food in them.”,清晰说明了佣人在当天会放假,且回家前会收到雇主提供的装有礼物和食物的盒子,答案据此总结。
4. 题目意思:询问什么是募捐箱(collection boxes)。
回答依据:第三段指出 “Another story is that before Christmas, people put money, clothes and some other things in collection boxes. On the day after Christmas, people opened up the collection boxes and gave out the money and other things to the poor.”,明确了募捐箱是圣诞节前存放钱、衣物等物品,节后用于向穷人分发物资的箱子,答案由此而来。
5. 题目意思:询问划线短语 “deal with” 的中文意思。
回答依据:后文提到 “Every house has lots of opened boxes under the Christmas tree. They all need to go to the rubbish bin.”,说明圣诞节后家里的礼物盒子需要被处理(扔进垃圾桶),因此 “deal with” 在此处表示 “处理;应对”。

Festivals: East vs West Fun
节日:中西方的欢乐差异
Festivals show how different cultures celebrate! In China, the Spring Festival is all about family. We clean homes, eat jiaozi, and kids get red packets. Firecrackers pop to scare bad luck away.
In Western countries, Christmas is big. Families put up trees with lights, and Santa brings gifts. They sing carols and eat turkey.
Both festivals are about love, but in different ways. Chinese like red for good luck; Westerners love green Christmas trees. We visit relatives; they have parties with friends. How fun to learn from each other!
节日展示了不同文化的庆祝方式!在中国,春节是全家团圆的日子。我们打扫房屋、吃饺子,孩子们还能收到红包。鞭炮声响起,吓跑坏运气。
在西方国家,圣诞节是重头戏。家家户户竖起挂着彩灯的圣诞树,圣诞老人会带来礼物。人们唱圣诞颂歌,吃火鸡大餐。
这两个节日都充满爱,却各有特色。中国人喜欢红色求好运,西方人偏爱绿色圣诞树;我们走亲访友,他们和朋友开派对。互相学习真是太有趣啦!

New Year Fun Around the World
全球新年趣俗
When the New Year bell is about to ring, people around the world are ready to welcome this special moment in their own unique ways! In Turkiye, you'll find small piles of white salt at the doorsteps of many families. Elders say salt acts like a magic barrier, keeping bad luck of the coming year out and leaving only peace and good fortune. On the streets of Greece, you'll notice plump onions hanging on many doorways. This isn't a strange decoration—Greeks believe onions symbolize the vitality of life, bringing health and blessings to their families and filling the new year with energy.
当新年的钟声即将敲响,世界各地的人们早已准备好用独特的方式迎接这个特别的时刻!在土耳其,家家户户的门口都会出现一小堆洁白的盐。老人们说,盐能像一道魔法屏障,把来年的坏运气统统挡在门外,只留下平安和好运。而在希腊的街头,你会发现许多家门上挂着饱满的洋葱。这可不是什么奇怪的装饰 —— 希腊人相信,洋葱象征着生命的活力,能为家人带来健康和福气,让新的一年充满生机。
Danish families celebrate the New Year with energy. Before midnight, the whole family stands on chairs, eyes fixed on the clock. When the hands point to 12, everyone jumps off the chairs together, as if they can step on all the troubles of the past year and walk into the new year. The streets of Colombia are even livelier, with many people strolling around the block with suitcases. Don't think they're going on a trip; it's actually a sweet wish: hoping to have the chance to visit more places and see more beautiful scenery in the new year.
丹麦的家庭则用充满活力的方式跨年。午夜来临前,全家人会不约而同地站上椅子,眼睛紧盯着时钟。当指针指向 12 点,大家会一起从椅子上跳下来,仿佛这样就能把过去一年的烦恼统统踩在脚下,轻松走进新的一年。哥伦比亚的街头更热闹,不少人拖着行李箱在街区里漫步。别以为他们要出门旅行,这其实是个甜蜜的愿望:希望新的一年能有机会去更多地方,看更美的风景。
Though these customs may seem strange, when fireworks bloom in the night sky, people from different countries all have the same smile on their faces. Because no matter how they celebrate, everyone's wish is the same—hoping for a safe, happy, and surprising new year!
虽然这些习俗看起来千奇百怪,但当烟花在夜空中绽放时,不同国家的人们脸上都洋溢着同样的笑容。因为无论用什么方式庆祝,大家心中的愿望都一样 —— 期盼新的一年平安、快乐、充满惊喜!

Boxing Day (节礼日) is a public holiday in the UK, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. It is also a holiday in many other countries. It is usually celebrated on the day after Christmas Day (December 25th). In some countries this public holiday is moved to the next weekday if December 26th is a Saturday or Sunday.
In some countries, stores have sales on Boxing Day, the same as Black Friday sales in the United States. In the UK, many sports games are played on Boxing Day. There are horse races on that day. There are also football games and some other sports games.
There are different stories as to how Boxing Day got its name. One story is that in the 19th century, December 26th was a day when servants (佣人) to rich English people got time off. Before they went back home, the families they worked for gave them boxes with Christmas presents and food in them. They could take them home to their families. Another story is that before Christmas, people put money, clothes and some other things in collection boxes. On the day after Christmas, people opened up the collection boxes and gave out the money and other things to the poor. Now, some people think Boxing Day is a good time to deal with the boxes and wrappings (包装) left from opened Christmas gifts! Every house has lots of opened boxes under the Christmas tree. They all need to go to the rubbish bin (垃圾桶).

2. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
3. What did the servants of English family do on December 26th in the 19th century?
