As I looked back down the trail we had climbed，and up towards where we had to go，the colorful sight struck me a lot.Entire families wearing local costumes were travelling to this unique festival from all over Peru.Among them were old men，mothers with small babies and children all following the same route.Many of them had horses and donkeys carry their food，blankets，cooking pots and tents.Others had made their way on foot through the mountains for days to attend this remarkable event. We continued climbing upward for another hour and a half before reaching the Sinakara Valley.Right across this flat piece of ground people were putting up shelters and tents to protect themselves from the freezing mist and rain.It was clear，however，from the sound of the drums and singing rising from the campsite that the weather was not going to weaken the festival spirit.The air of excitement，even from our place more than a mile away，was palpable． After dinner，we went to bed fully clothed inside our sleeping bags.We were up early the next morning，the main day of the festival，despite having slept badly on the frozen ground.The Ukukus，men wearing black masks and costumes，had left the campsite in the early hours to climb the nearest mountain by the light of the full moon. From time to time during the procession，they stopped to dance on the glaciers，believing this would bring luck to their villages for the year to come.In the dawn light，we watched them winding their way back down like a large black snake.As they descended，they were joined by groups of dancers in bright traditional costumes.They performed wherever there was space.Although there did not seem to be anyone organizing them or any timetable，the whole festival had become a huge harmonious celebration. 1．What do we know about family's climbing up and down the trail? A．They were too tired to enjoy the sight. B．They regretted extremely taking the trip. C．They were fascinated by the scenes there. D．They were greeted warmly by local people. 2．The underlined word in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________． A．suitable　 B．endurable C．noticeable D．understandable 3．What can be inferred from the festival participants? A．They were all dressed in plain clothes. B．They were determined to reach the festival. C．They only continued their journey during daylight hours. D．They performed dances to demonstrate their traditional costumes. 4．Where is this text most likely from? A．A health report. B．A sports newspaper. C．A fashion forum. D．A culture magazine. B The old Chinese saying “as happy as spending the New Year” might be outdated now in the busy modern world.The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together.But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival，however，have weakened in practice. Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival.People thought the sputtering (爆裂) sound could help drive away evil spirits. However，the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken security，noise and pollution factors into consideration. “In recent years，some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at the Spring Festival，surrendering to (屈从于) public demand.Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion，” said Zhou Xing，a folklore researcher. “As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods，the New Year holiday is just like any other.After long workdays，many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest，rather than visiting friends and neighbors.The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important thing.However，many families would like to eat out to save time and energy，” said Li Shunzhi，a resident of Harbin，Heilongjiang. “I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside.My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday，cleaning the house，buying holiday goods and decorating the house with paper-cuttings.On New Year's Eve，the whole family stays up to see the New Year in，and in the days to follow，a series of activities such as lion dancing，dragon lantern dancing，lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held.Without the ancient traditions，the holiday is nothing to us，” said Zhang Hui，from Hebei. 5．Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage? A．Setting off fireworks has been forbidden in some big cities for years. B．Nowadays，people can light fireworks in some cities at the Spring Festival. C．People believe that the sound of fireworks can drive away evil spirits. D．In the past，setting off fireworks couldn't be seen almost anywhere. 6．What Li Shunzhi said implies ________． A．what people do during the festival now is different from the past B．people would like to have the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve C．people prefer to visit friends and neighbors rather than take a rest D．the New Year holiday is just like any other day 7．What can we learn from the last paragraph? A．Zhang Hui often spends two weeks preparing for the Spring Festival. B．Zhang Hui is used to spending the Spring Festival with his family. C．Zhang Hui always takes part in a series of activities after the Spring Festival. D．Zhang Hui lives in the urban area. 8．What does the whole passage show? A．The Spring Festival is as lively as before. B．The Spring Festival is outdated now. C．The Spring Festival is losing its qualities. D．The Spring Festival in China is more important than Christmas in the West.

A 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了世界上最高的节日——Qoyllur Rit'i，在海拔4300米的秘鲁安第斯山脉举行庆祝活动。 1．C　细节理解题。由第二段中“As I looked back down the trail we had climbed，and up towards where we had to go，the colorful sight struck me a lot.”判断，作者一家在爬山的过程中被路上美丽的景色打动了。故选C。 2．C　词义猜测题。由画线词前文“It was clear，however，from the sound of the drums and singing rising from the campsite that the weather was not going to weaken the festival spirit.”可知，作者在很远的地方都能够听到从营地传出来的鼓声和歌声，说明营地里的节日气氛可以非常明显地感受到，在很远的地方都很清晰。故选C。 3．B　推理判断题。由第二段“Many of them had horses and donkeys carry their food，blankets，cooking pots and tents.Others had made their way on foot through the mountains for days to attend this remarkable event.”可知，很多人为了参加这个活动甚至走了很长时间的路，说明他们是下定决心要来参加这个活动的。故选B。 4．D　文章出处题。第一段提到“I was on an amazing trip with my family to experience the festival of Qoyllur Rit'i，which takes place at 4，300 meters high in the southern Andes of Peru.”并且根据后文中作者对于该节日的描写可知，本文可能出自文化杂志。故选D。 B 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国春节的一些传统习俗在逐渐消失的现象以及人们对此现象的不同观点。 5．D　细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句“Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival.”可知，过去放鞭炮是过春节最典型的传统习俗，应该到处可见，故选D。 6．A　推理判断题。根据第四段的整体内容可推知，哈尔滨的一位居民所说的这段话是在感慨今昔过年的差异，故选A。 7．B　推理判断题。根据最后一段的“My family has been preparing for...”和“On New Year's Eve, the whole family stays up to see...”以及本段的整体内容可推知，张辉习惯和家人一起过春节，故选B。 8．C　主旨大意题。根据第一段的最后一句“But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival, however, have weakened in practice.”并结合全文的整体内容可推知，本文主要讲述了中国春节的一些传统习俗在逐渐消失这一现象，故选C。 Ⅱ. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了印度的Daan Utsav节日。这个节日旨在帮助那些需要帮助的人。 1．D　根据下文Daan Utsav的志愿者和孩子们一起送来凉爽的果汁可知，此处表示人们尽力忍受夏天的高温。 2．B　根据“began offering the drink to everyone，free of cost”可推断出，此处指孩子们及志愿者一起出现了。 3．A　根据“began offering the drink to everyone”可知，很快每一滴饮料都送给了路人。 4．D　根据“Soon every ______ was given away to the grateful passers-by.”可推断出，此处应指那些陌生的路人。 5．C　根据“even a small act of giving can make a(n) ______” 可知，人们学到了宝贵的一课：即使是微不足道的行为也能产生影响。 6．A　参见上题解析。 7．D　根据下文的介绍可推断出，正是Daan Utsav使给予成为可能。 8．C　根据“What began as ______ an idea among a few people”可知，Daan Utsav是一群志愿者想出来的主意。 9．A　这群志愿者在2004年聚在一起的时候提出了“全国赠与日”这一想法。 10．C　根据下文的“turned into a nationwide ______ with several millions raised in funds and 500 volunteers across 200 Indian cities ______ 1，500 to 2，000 programs and activities”可知，最初这只是一些人的想法，后来它变成了一项大规模的运动，筹集了几百万元的资金并拥有超过500个志愿者，组织了1500至2000场活动。 11．B　参见上题解析。 12．C　参见第10题解析。 13．A　根据“in that it shifts focus from the person receiving a gift to the act of ______”可推断出，此处指这个节日的特别之处。 14．D　根据上文的“shifts focus from the person receiving a gift”可知，这个节日教人们给予，而不是索取。 15．B　根据下文“because people won't need to be persuaded to give”可知，志愿者希望Daan Utsav可以像其他节日一样被人们铭记，到那时候就不需要志愿者了，因为人们不需要劝说就会给予他人帮助。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
