主题语境提分练十八　人与社会之不同民族文化习俗(二) 分值:47.5分 Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共17.5分) (2020·江苏卷) Sometimes it's hard to let go.For many British people,that can apply to institutions and objects that represent their country's past—age-old castles,splendid homes...and red phone boxes. Beaten first by the march of technology and lately by the terrible weather in junkyards (废品场),the phone boxes representative of an age are now making something of a comeback.Adapted in imaginative ways,many have reappeared on city streets and village greens housing tiny cafes,cellphone repair shops or even defibrillator machines(除颤器). The original iron boxes with the round roofs first appeared in 1926.They were designed by Giles Gilbert Scott,the architect of the Battersea Power Station in London.After becoming an important part of many British streets,the phone boxes began disappearing in the 1980s,with the rise of the mobile phone sending most of them away to the junkyards. About that time,Tony Inglis' engineering and transport company got the job to remove phone boxes from the streets and sell them out.But Inglis ended up buying hundreds of them himself, with the idea of repairing and selling them.He said that he had heard the calls to preserve the boxes and had seen how some of them were listed as historic buildings. As Inglis and,later other businessmen,got to work,repurposed phone boxes began reappearing in cities and villages as people found new uses for them.Today,they are once again a familiar sight,playing roles that are often just as important for the community as their original purpose. In rural areas,where ambulances can take a relatively long time to arrive,the phone boxes have taken on a lifesaving role.Local organizations can adopt them for 1 pound, and install defibrillators to help in emergencies. Others also looked at the phone boxes and saw business opportunities.LoveFone,a company that advocates repairing cellphones rather than abandoning them,opened a mini workshop in a London phone box in 2016. The tiny shops made economic sense,according to Robert Kerr,a founder of LoveFone.He said that one of the boxes generated around $13,500 in revenue a month and cost only about $400 to rent. Inglis said phone boxes called to mind an age when things were built to last.“I like what they are to people,and I enjoy bringing things back,”he said. 1.The phone boxes are making a comeback 　　　　.  to form a beautiful sight of the city to improve telecommunications services to remind people of a historical period to meet the requirement of green economy 2.Why did the phone boxes begin to go out of service in the 1980s? They were not well-designed. They provided bad services. They had too short a history. They lost to new technologies. 3.The phone boxes are becoming popular mainly because of 　　　　.  their new appearance and lower prices the push of the local organizations their changed roles and functions the big funding of the businessmen (2020·天津5月卷) Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never a fun or easy task.If you're studying history, asking yourself the question “why is history important” is a very good first step.History is an essential part of human civilization.You will find something here that will arouse your interest, or get you thinking about the significance of history. History grounds us in our roots.History is an important and interesting field of study, and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper, more meaningful glimpse (一瞥) into our ancestral pasts, and how we got to where we are today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots and being open-minded to the evolution of your culture can provide.  History enriches our experience.Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago.According to the experts, problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same.With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life. History makes us more empathetic (具有共情能力的).Studying history can give us insight (洞察力) into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now.It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures.Fear and hate for others is usually caused by ignorance (无知).We're scared of the things that we don't understand.History has the potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that would otherwise be foreign to us. History can inspire us to learn more.What't fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons.It's almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of questions about related concepts.Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist.Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism.Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England.It can go anywhere, and there is something in there for absolutely anybody. The value of history cannot be underestimated.We don't have to live in the past, but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives. 4.The underlined part “where we are today” in Para.2 probably means 　　　　.  the turning point in our history the present state of our nation the location of our homeland the total area of our country 5.According to the experts, why is history useful for people to handle challenges of life? The problems at present are similar to those in the past. Ancient people laid economic foundations for people today. The current challenges of life were predicted by the ancestors. People living long time ago knew more about how to solve problems. 6.What can be concluded from Para.4? It is difficult to get rid of cultural barriers. People are willing to accept foreign cultures. Cultural conflicts in history are difficult to ignore. History helps us improve our cross-cultural awareness. 7.What could be the best title for the passage? How to Build Cultural Identity Why Studying History Matters Know the Past, Know the Present History: a Way to Broaden One's Horizons Ⅱ.完形填空(每小题1分,共15分) (2025·蚌埠高三模拟) During Thanksgiving dinner, my grandmother would ask us to share a story of a person we were grateful to during the past year.And then she would ask, “Did you 　1　 that person?” She encouraged us to show our gratitude by our 　2　.  I will always remember the warm and happy　3　 I had as a child, the miracle of being at my grandmother's Thanksgiving table, eating her food, and listening to those I 　4　 tell what they were thankful for.I believe it made a big 　5　 in my life.It helped all of us shift from being 　6　 focused to being externally focused.  When I got married and Jesselie and I started our own Thanksgiving　7　, a few memories 　8　.We used to live in Piedmont, California when our children were still young.To give Jesselie time to 　9　 the dinner without 　10　, I took the children over to San Francisco to look at the beautiful holiday windows.Our children have always remembered that 　11　, and Jesselie has never 　12　 that Thanksgiving dinner because as we sat down to a cornucopia (丰富) of 　13　, including Williamsburg sweet potato pudding and sausage stuffing, our children said, “Can we just go to get a hamburger instead?”  I hope all of us can start a new tradition—a tradition of assessing our lives and actions,　14　 our unconscious biases (偏见), and committing to be more 　15　 and better appreciate our differences.  1.like thank encounter inform 2.support principle actions negotiations 3.feelings vacations parties comments 4.loved greeted invited helped 5.point turn mess difference 6.intentionally entirely internally frequently 7.challenges traditions discussions standards 8.died down got along stood out took off 9.fix enjoy share deliver 10.delay permission hesitation interruption 11.gift reminder discovery experience 12.missed promised touched forgotten 13.purchase food fruits colors 14.removing explaining representing assessing 15.regular influential inclusive relaxing Ⅲ.语法填空(每小题1.5分,共15分) (2023·新课标Ⅰ卷) Xiao long bao (soup dumplings),those amazing constructions of delicate dumpling wrappers encasing hot,1.　　　　　　　　　(taste) soup and sweet,fresh meat,are far and away my favorite Chinese street food.The dumplings arrive steaming and dangerously hot.To eat one,you have to decide whether 2.　　　　　　　　　 (bite) a small hole in it first,releasing the steam and risking a spill (溢出),3.　　　　　　　　　 to put the whole dumpling in your mouth,letting the hot soup explode on your tongue (舌头).  Shanghai may be the 4.　　　　　　　　　 (recognize) home of the soup dumpling,but food historians will actually point you to the neighboring ancient canal town of Nanxiang as xiao long bao's birthplace.There,you'll find them prepared differently—more dumpling and less soup—and the wrappers are pressed 5. 　  hand rather than rolled.
