They conquered (占领) almost all of Europe, and parts of Asia and Africa. Life in the army was hard. And many of the soldiers long for the comforts of home. They wanted to get married and set up families. The emperor, whose name was Claudius, grew worried that his army was growing soft. So he made a law that no soldier was allowed to get married. By that time, many of the Romans were Christians. And one of their leaders was a bishop (主教), called Valentine. He believed that if a man and a woman fell in love with each other, they should get married. And so he decided to let soldiers get married in his church, even though it was against the law. The soldiers’ weddings were meant to be kept secret. But as you know, all secrets are hard to keep. And soon the word got out. Valentine was arrested (逮捕) and brought before the emperor who demanded that he stop helping soldiers to marry. When he refused, the emperor pronounced (宣判) him to death. While Valentine was in prison, the jailer’s daughter used to bring him food. She was a young blind woman. She and Valentine used to spend long hours talking to each other. And soon they fell in love. One day, Valentine put his hand through the bars of the cell and touched the lids of her closed eyes. When she opened them again, she could see. It was a miracle (奇迹). The love story didn’t continue. Unfortunately, Valentine’s execution (死刑) was set for February 14th. This took place in the year 270. And ever since, people have observed the day of February14th called Valentine’s Day, in honour of this brave bishop. 4．Why were the soldiers forbidden (禁止) to get married?

While the event, which is also Albert Einstein’s birthday, may start with some calculations (运算) , it is more than likely to end up with a slice (片) or two of delicious pie. The holiday is held every March14, because “π” is widely recognized as 3.14. The tradition of honoring “π” began at San Francisco’s Exploratorium Museum. On March 14, 1988, physicist Larry Shaw convinced his colleagues to mark the day by marching around one of the museum’s circular spaces and eating fruit pies. The celebration was made official in 2009 when the US House of Representatives set aside March 14 as Pi Day. Today, Pi Day is observed in many creative ways. Students at the California Institute of Technology in Los Angeles host a pie-eating event, which begins at 1: 59 a. m. and features 26 pies, each of five different flavors of the popular dessert. Though that might seem random (随意的) , the date (3.14) , time (159) , number of pies (26) , and number of varieties (5) recreate (再现) the first nine digits of Pi: 3. 14159265! Students applying for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston eagerly wait for the day every year to find out if they have been accepted. However, instead of sending out the offers at 3:14 p.m., the institution waits till 6:28 p.m.. 6.28 is called Tau, which is Pi multiplied (乘) by 2. The number is believed to be much more reliable than Pi by some experts and even has its own celebration on June 28. Since 2017, MIT has also used Pi Day as a fundraiser to support its students, departments and programs. The town of Princeton, New Jersey, where Einstein lived from 1935 until his death in 1955, celebrates the occasion with multi-day festivities that end on March 14. Visitors can participate in concerts, shows, as well as pie-eating, pi-recitation (背诵) , and Einstein-lookalike contests. 8．Where was Pi Day originally celebrated? A．In San Francisco. B．In Los Angeles. C．In Boston. D．In Princeton. 9．When was Pi Day made an official holiday? A．In 1955. B．In 1988. C．In 2009. D．In 2017. 10．What does MIT do on Pi Day according to the passage? A．Set a calculating test. B．Make desserts of different flavors. C．Organize a march around the campus. D．Inform applicants of admission results. 11．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To compare. B．To introduce. C．To persuade. D．To explain. 【答案】8．A 9．C 10．D 11．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“π”日的由来以及庆祝圆周率的方式。 8．细节理解题。根据第二段“The tradition of honoring “π” began at San Francisco’s Exploratorium Museum.(纪念“π”的传统始于旧金山的探索博物馆)”可知，圆周率日最初是在旧金山庆祝的。故选A项。 9．细节理解题。根据第二段“The celebration was made official in 2009 when the US House of Representatives set aside March 14 as Pi Day.(2009年，美国众议院正式将3月14日定为圆周率日)”可知，圆周率日是在2009年定为法定假日的。故选C项。 10．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Students applying for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston eagerly wait for the day every year to find out if they have been accepted. However, instead of sending out the offers at 3:14 p.m., the institution waits till 6:28 p.m.. 6.28 is called Tau, which is Pi multiplied (乘) by 2. (每年，申请波士顿麻省理工学院（MIT）的学生都急切地等待着是否被录取的那一天。然而，该机构并没有在下午3点14分发出录取通知书，而是等到下午6点28分才发出。6.28被称为Tau，即Pi乘以2。)”可知，MIT在圆周率日通知申请人入学成绩。故选D项。 11．推理判断题。根据第一段“You don’t have to be a fan of math to get excited about Pi ( “π” ) Day.(即使你不是一个数学迷，你也会为圆周率日感到兴奋)”；第二段“The tradition of honoring “π” began at San Francisco’s Exploratorium Museum.(纪念“π”的传统始于旧金山的探索博物馆)”以及第三段“Today, Pi Day is observed in many creative ways.(今天，圆周率日以许多创造性的方式庆祝)”可推知，本文主要就是介绍圆周率日的。故选B项。 D In the remote villages of Western Alaska, a time-honored tradition known as “throwing parties” or “uqiquq” in the Yugtun language, means the commencement of the hunting and fishing season. This custom is deeply rooted in the community’s culture, serving as a celebration of not only the first catch but also significant life milestones such as graduations, births, and weddings. Mertarvik, a village situated a dozen miles from the Bering Sea, recently witnessed such a festive occasion. Mildred Tom, a local resident, took the initiative to organize this event to honor her daughter’s graduation and her grandchildren’s achievements. For several months, she had been carefully gathering and storing gifts in her home, preparing for the big day. The key of a throwing party lies in the joyous act of sharing. As the elders secure their positions among the gathering, Tom, along with her daughter Teddy Ann Bell and niece Amy Kassaili, engages in the heartwarming ceremony of tossing (投掷) gifts from a blue plastic container high into the air. The items, which include various candies, toys, and household items, represent a contemporary adaptation of the age-old practice of distributing the season’s first catch. As the distribution of gifts concludes, the younger members of the community search through the snow for any overlooked treasures. Each person departs with a special item, symbolizing the strengthening of communal (群体的) bonds that will last until the next throwing party in the fall. Safety and practicality are also considered in this celebration. Items that could pose a risk or are too large, such as wooden spoons, are carefully packed into canvas bags for distribution. The party serves double purpose, not only as a family celebration but also as a vital community gathering. This tradition stands as a symbol of the resilience (韧性) and solidarity of Western Alaska’s people, who depend on one another and their natural surroundings for life and a sense of belonging. 12．What does the underlined word “commencement” mean in paragraph 1? A．Conditions. B．Custom. C．Experiences. D．Beginning. 13．What are paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about? A．How to stay safe at the throwing party. B．How the throwing party has developed. C．How Tom’s family hold the throwing party. D．How to make the throwing party heartwarming. 14．What was the throwing party initially intended to do? A．Distribute the season’s first catch. B．Celebrate life’s significant milestones. C．Honor the achievements of family members. D．Attract people to participate in a community gathering. 15．What’s the spirit of throwing parties? A．Sharing and unity. B．Courage and bond. C．Excellence and strength. D．Creativity and optimism. 【答案】12．D 13．C 14．A 15．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个阿拉斯加西部的偏远村庄“投掷派对”的传统，介绍了活动的过程和体现的内涵。 12．词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“This custom is deeply rooted in the community’s culture, serving as a celebration of not only the first catch but also significant life milestones such as graduations, births, and weddings.(这个习俗深深植根于社区文化中，不仅是为了庆祝第一次捕获，也是为了庆祝重要的人生里程碑，如毕业、出生和婚礼)”可知，这个习俗庆祝第一次捕获，即说明“commencement”的意思是狩猎和捕鱼季节的开始。故划线词意思是“开始”。故选D。 13．主旨大意题。根据第三段“The key of a throwing party lies in the joyous act of sharing. As the elders secure their positions among the gathering, Tom, along with her daughter Teddy Ann Bell and niece Amy Kassaili, engages in the heartwarming ceremony of tossing (投掷) gifts from a blue plastic container high into the air. The items, which include various candies, toys, and household items, represent a contemporary adaptation of the age-old practice of distributing the season’s first catch.(投掷派对的关键在于快乐的分享行为。当长辈们在聚会中占据了自己的位置时，汤姆和她的女儿泰迪·安·贝尔和侄女艾米·卡西一起，参加了一个温暖人心的仪式，把一个蓝色塑料容器里的礼物扔向空中。这些物品包括各种糖果、玩具和家庭用品，代表了分发季节第一次捕获的古老习俗的当代改编)”以及第四段“As the distribution of gifts concludes, the younger members of the community search through the snow for any overlooked treasures. Each person departs with a special item, symbolizing the strengthening of communal (群体的) bonds that will last until the next throwing party in the fall.(随着礼物分发的结束，社区的年轻成员在雪地里寻找任何被忽视的宝藏。每个人都带着一件特殊的物品离开，象征着社区纽带的加强，这种纽带将持续到秋天的下一个狂欢派对)”可知，第3段和第4段主要讲的是汤姆一家是如何举办投掷派对的。故选C。 14．细节理解题。根据第三段“The items, which include various candies, toys, and household items, represent a contemporary adaptation of the age-old practice of distributing the season’s first catch.(这些物品包括各种糖果、玩具和家庭用品，代表了分发季节第一次捕获的古老习俗的当代改编)”可知，投掷派对最初打算分发第一批猎物。故选A。 15．细节理解题。根据第三段“The key of a throwing party lies in the joyous act of sharing.(投掷派对的关键在于快乐的分享行为)”以及最后一段“This tradition stands as a symbol of the resilience (韧性) and solidarity of Western Alaska’s people, who depend on one another and their natural surroundings for life and a sense of belonging.(这一传统象征着阿拉斯加西部人民的坚韧和团结，他们相互依赖，依靠他们的自然环境生活和归属感)”可知，开派对的精神是分享和团结。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 British Harvest Festival is celebrated on or close to the Sunday of the Harvest Moon, which is the full moon that’s closest to the Autumn Equinox (秋分). 16 But it may also take place at the beginning of October in some years. This holiday is to celebrate the food that land has provided and to give thanks. The Harvest Festival can date back to the ancient Celts’ times when it was celebrated as the seasonal mid-point. 17 In Anglo-Saxon England, these traditions of the Harvest Festival continued. And during this time, it became a custom to “bless (祝福) the bread”, which would later become the tradition of giving thanks for a meal. 18 In this way, the Harvest Festival continue to develop over the next few hundred years until it became the holiday that it’s today. 19 Usually, people in Britain share a meal with friends and family and decorate homes. They also attend church, give food out to people in need, and sing songs. Some people make corn toys, which are expected to bring luck to next year’s harvest. Sometimes these toys are hung up on farm houses. Some British people are trying to return this holiday to some of its religious roots (宗教根源). However, most don’t have that attempt. 20 They also give thanks for the good luck they received all year long. A．Why is the Harvest Festival still celebrated? B．By the 1500s, many traditions had been put into this day. C．How do the British celebrate the Harvest Festival nowadays? D．Thus, this holiday usually falls around the end of September. E．In that way, it is much like the American holiday of Thanksgiving. F．They just see this holiday as a way to spend time with their family.

(英国的丰收节是在接近秋分前后满月，即“收获月”的周日庆祝的)”提到英国丰收节的时间是秋分前后的满月，后文“But it may also take place at the beginning of October in some years. (但它也可能在一些年份的十月初进行)”指出丰收节时间也可能在十月初，因此D项“Thus, this holiday usually falls around the end of September. (因此，这个节日通常在九月末左右)”符合语境，说明丰收节通常在九月末，是对前文时间的具体补充，和后文构成转折，其中的this holiday指代前文的British Harvest Festival。故选D。 17．前文“The Harvest Festival can date back to the ancient Celts’ times when it was celebrated as the seasonal mid-point. (丰收节可以追溯到古凯尔特时期，当时它被作为季节的中点来庆祝)”提到丰收节起源于古凯尔特时期，后文“In Anglo-Saxon England, these traditions of the Harvest Festival continued.

(到16世纪时，许多传统已被融入这一天)”符合语境，指出更多传统随着时间推移而产生，承前启后，符合前后文时间逻辑。故选B。 19．前文段落主要介绍节日的历史演变，后文“Usually, people in Britain share a meal with friends and family and decorate homes. They also attend church, give food out to people in need, and sing songs. Some people make corn toys, which are expected to bring luck to next year’s harvest.

(他们也会感恩他们一整年收到的好运)”提到大多数人感恩好运，因此F项“They just see this holiday as a way to spend time with their family. (他们仅将此节日视为与家人共度时光的方式)”符合语境，描述人们的世俗化态度，和前文形成对比，后文是对其补充说明。故选F。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 An act of kindness doesn’t have to be a dramatic gesture. Even those small acts of kindness can make a difference in someone’s day. Anne was a case in point. She 21 a bumper sticker (保险杠贴纸) on her car reading: You Matter. Anne started to do this several years ago. At first, she wondered if people would 22 it. However, much to her surprise, she began seeing a flood of 23 every time she hit the road. More often than not, people 24 slowly near her car would roll down their windows, raising their 25 , waving and smiling. Sometimes, she even found some sticky notes left on her windshield saying things like “You 26 too!” Once while she was driving down the highway, she became 27 when a man driving a sportscar at a high speed pulled his car alongside suddenly, waving and mouthing, “You matter!” Though it took her some time to recover from the 28 , she still felt happy. Last year, someone 29 her car while she was waiting for her friend in the car by the roadside, saying to her, “It is a special sticker. I’ve seen 30 stickers before, but none of them have touched me as your sticker has done. The two small words on the sticker seem simple enough, but they really struck a chord with many complete strangers who 31 to catch sight of the sticker.” Stories like Anne’s really 32 the rest of us.

Only a small child, I could not name the precise year; it is an insignificant blur in my mind, but the events of that Christmas will live forever in my heart. My father, who had been employed at Burlington, never let on to us that we were having financial difficulties. We knew only that ‘ my daddy, who usually worked long, difficult hours, was now home more than we had ever remembered; each day seemed to be a holiday. Mama, a homemaker, now’ sought work in the local textile mills, but jobs were scarce. Daddy’s unemployment check would now be our family’s only source of income. For my parents, the Christmas season brought mounds of worries, crowds of sighs and tears and cascades of prayers. I could only imagine what happened between my parents in those moments when the answer came. Perhaps it took a while for the ideas to fully form, but somehow it did. While dark, rough-skinned hands cut, hammered and painted the wood. Where I was while all of this was taking place, I had no idea. But somehow my parents found time to pour themselves into my gift, and the excitement of Christmas was once again born for the entire family. That Christmas Eve, the sun was just setting over the distant horizon when I heard the roar of an unexpected motor in the driveway. Looking outside, I could hardly believe my eyes. Uncle Buck and Aunt Charlene had driven all the way from Georgia to surprise us. Packed tightly in their car sat my grandparents. I also couldn’t help but notice innumerable gifts for all of us, all neatly packaged and tied with beautiful bows. They had known that it would be a difficult Christmas and they came to help. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning I awoke early and dashed to the living room. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Daddy approached and gave the gift of love to me. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 The next morning I awoke early and dashed to the living room. It was a sea of colorful packages. I was like kids in a candy store, my eyes wide with excitement. I tore into the gifts from our relatives, oohing and aahing over each new gift. But in the back of my mind, I couldn’t help but wonder about the gift my parents had made. I knew they must have put so much effort into it. At this moment, I noticed my parents watching me, their faces filled with a mix of joy and a hint of nervousness. Daddy approached and gave the gift of love to me. At first glance, the simple wooden toy seemed plain compared to the store-bought gifts. But as I looked closer, I saw the smooth texture of the wood, the carefully painted color, and the little details like the perfectly placed hinges. I remembered how hard my parents had worked, a wave of warmth washing over me. “Thank you,” I said, hugging my parents tightly. In that moment, I realized that this simple wooden toy, made with love, was the most precious gift of all. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者幼年时家庭遭遇经济困难，父母却竭力隐藏艰辛，用爱与双手为作者打造圣诞礼物，同时远方亲戚赶来相助，让这个艰难的圣诞节充满温暖与希望的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容“第二天清晨我早早醒来，冲向客厅。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到客厅里堆满亲戚们带来的礼物后兴奋拆礼物的情景，同时心里一直惦记着父母为自己准备的礼物，留意到父母在一旁紧张又期待地看着自己的反应。 ② 由第二段首句内容“爸爸走过来，把充满爱的礼物递给我。”可知，第二段可描写作者收到父母亲手制作的礼物，发现礼物虽简单却饱含父母心血，内心涌起暖流，意识到这份凝聚爱意的礼物才是最珍贵的。 2. 续写线索：看到满屋礼物兴奋不已 —— 拆亲戚礼物时惦记父母礼物 —— 留意父母神情 —— 爸爸递上礼物 —— 观察礼物细节发现父母心血 —— 拥抱父母表达感激 —— 领悟礼物珍贵之处 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 拆礼物：tore into the gifts/unwrapped the presents ②想知道：wonder/ponder ③ 拥抱：hugging/embracing 情绪类 ① 兴奋：excitement/eagerness ② 紧张：nervousness/anxiety ③ 温暖：warmth/affection 【点睛】[高分句型1] I knew they must have put so much effort into it.

HOGMANAY (SCOTLAND) Hogmanay is Scotland’s New Year’s celebration, which lasts from December 31 to January 2. It’s a great celebration that begins with a massive torchlight parade and continues through street festivals, concerts, fireworks, and gathering to sing the traditional Scottish song “Auld Lang Syne.” Additionally, many families do a thorough house cleaning, blessing the house with holy water from a local stream to prepare for the New Year. 1．What can people do during BLACK-NECKED CRANE FESTIVAL?

B 2, 000 years ago, the most powerful army in the world belonged to the Romans. They conquered (占领) almost all of Europe, and parts of Asia and Africa. Life in the army was hard. And many of the soldiers long for the comforts of home. They wanted to get married and set up families. The emperor, whose name was Claudius, grew worried that his army was growing soft. So he made a law that no soldier was allowed to get married. By that time, many of the Romans were Christians. And one of their leaders was a bishop (主教), called Valentine. He believed that if a man and a woman fell in love with each other, they should get married. And so he decided to let soldiers get married in his church, even though it was against the law. The soldiers’ weddings were meant to be kept secret. But as you know, all secrets are hard to keep. And soon the word got out. Valentine was arrested (逮捕) and brought before the emperor who demanded that he stop helping soldiers to marry. When he refused, the emperor pronounced (宣判) him to death. While Valentine was in prison, the jailer’s daughter used to bring him food. She was a young blind woman. She and Valentine used to spend long hours talking to each other. And soon they fell in love. One day, Valentine put his hand through the bars of the cell and touched the lids of her closed eyes. When she opened them again, she could see. It was a miracle (奇迹). The love story didn’t continue. Unfortunately, Valentine’s execution (死刑) was set for February 14th. This took place in the year 270. And ever since, people have observed the day of February14th called Valentine’s Day, in honour of this brave bishop. 4．Why were the soldiers forbidden (禁止) to get married? A．The soldiers had no spare time to consider this. B．The soldiers who got married would become soft. C．The soldiers were not interested in marriage. D．The emperor stopped them getting married. 5．Which of the following could Valentine agree with? A．Soldiers shouldn’t get married in his church. B．Two people who love each other should get married. C．Soldiers shouldn’t get married secretly. D．It is against social custom for soldiers to get married. 6．Why does Valentine’s Day fall on February 14th? A．People used to get married on that day. B．A bishop cured his beloved girl on that day. C．Valentine’s birthday was on February 14th. D．A bishop called Valentine was sentenced to death on the day. 7．In which part of a newspaper can you most probably read the text? A．Geography. B．Travelling. C．Festival. D．Life. C You don’t have to be a fan of math to get excited about Pi ( “π” ) Day. While the event, which is also Albert Einstein’s birthday, may start with some calculations (运算) , it is more than likely to end up with a slice (片) or two of delicious pie. The holiday is held every March14, because “π” is widely recognized as 3.14. The tradition of honoring “π” began at San Francisco’s Exploratorium Museum. On March 14, 1988, physicist Larry Shaw convinced his colleagues to mark the day by marching around one of the museum’s circular spaces and eating fruit pies. The celebration was made official in 2009 when the US House of Representatives set aside March 14 as Pi Day. Today, Pi Day is observed in many creative ways. Students at the California Institute of Technology in Los Angeles host a pie-eating event, which begins at 1: 59 a. m. and features 26 pies, each of five different flavors of the popular dessert. Though that might seem random (随意的) , the date (3.14) , time (159) , number of pies (26) , and number of varieties (5) recreate (再现) the first nine digits of Pi: 3. 14159265! Students applying for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston eagerly wait for the day every year to find out if they have been accepted. However, instead of sending out the offers at 3:14 p.m., the institution waits till 6:28 p.m.. 6.28 is called Tau, which is Pi multiplied (乘) by 2. The number is believed to be much more reliable than Pi by some experts and even has its own celebration on June 28. Since 2017, MIT has also used Pi Day as a fundraiser to support its students, departments and programs. The town of Princeton, New Jersey, where Einstein lived from 1935 until his death in 1955, celebrates the occasion with multi-day festivities that end on March 14. Visitors can participate in concerts, shows, as well as pie-eating, pi-recitation (背诵) , and Einstein-lookalike contests. 8．Where was Pi Day originally celebrated? A．In San Francisco. B．In Los Angeles. C．In Boston. D．In Princeton. 9．When was Pi Day made an official holiday? A．In 1955. B．In 1988. C．In 2009. D．In 2017. 10．What does MIT do on Pi Day according to the passage? A．Set a calculating test. B．Make desserts of different flavors. C．Organize a march around the campus. D．Inform applicants of admission results. 11．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To compare. B．To introduce. C．To persuade. D．To explain. D In the remote villages of Western Alaska, a time-honored tradition known as “throwing parties” or “uqiquq” in the Yugtun language, means the commencement of the hunting and fishing season. This custom is deeply rooted in the community’s culture, serving as a celebration of not only the first catch but also significant life milestones such as graduations, births, and weddings. Mertarvik, a village situated a dozen miles from the Bering Sea, recently witnessed such a festive occasion. Mildred Tom, a local resident, took the initiative to organize this event to honor her daughter’s graduation and her grandchildren’s achievements. For several months, she had been carefully gathering and storing gifts in her home, preparing for the big day. The key of a throwing party lies in the joyous act of sharing. As the elders secure their positions among the gathering, Tom, along with her daughter Teddy Ann Bell and niece Amy Kassaili, engages in the heartwarming ceremony of tossing (投掷) gifts from a blue plastic container high into the air. The items, which include various candies, toys, and household items, represent a contemporary adaptation of the age-old practice of distributing the season’s first catch. As the distribution of gifts concludes, the younger members of the community search through the snow for any overlooked treasures. Each person departs with a special item, symbolizing the strengthening of communal (群体的) bonds that will last until the next throwing party in the fall. Safety and practicality are also considered in this celebration. Items that could pose a risk or are too large, such as wooden spoons, are carefully packed into canvas bags for distribution. The party serves double purpose, not only as a family celebration but also as a vital community gathering. This tradition stands as a symbol of the resilience (韧性) and solidarity of Western Alaska’s people, who depend on one another and their natural surroundings for life and a sense of belonging. 12．What does the underlined word “commencement” mean in paragraph 1? A．Conditions. B．Custom. C．Experiences. D．Beginning. 13．What are paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about? A．How to stay safe at the throwing party. B．How the throwing party has developed. C．How Tom’s family hold the throwing party. D．How to make the throwing party heartwarming. 14．What was the throwing party initially intended to do? A．Distribute the season’s first catch. B．Celebrate life’s significant milestones. C．Honor the achievements of family members. D．Attract people to participate in a community gathering. 15．What’s the spirit of throwing parties? A．Sharing and unity. B．Courage and bond. C．Excellence and strength. D．Creativity and optimism. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 British Harvest Festival is celebrated on or close to the Sunday of the Harvest Moon, which is the full moon that’s closest to the Autumn Equinox (秋分). 16 But it may also take place at the beginning of October in some years. This holiday is to celebrate the food that land has provided and to give thanks. The Harvest Festival can date back to the ancient Celts’ times when it was celebrated as the seasonal mid-point. 17 In Anglo-Saxon England, these traditions of the Harvest Festival continued. And during this time, it became a custom to “bless (祝福) the bread”, which would later become the tradition of giving thanks for a meal. 18 In this way, the Harvest Festival continue to develop over the next few hundred years until it became the holiday that it’s today. 19 Usually, people in Britain share a meal with friends and family and decorate homes. They also attend church, give food out to people in need, and sing songs. Some people make corn toys, which are expected to bring luck to next year’s harvest. Sometimes these toys are hung up on farm houses. Some British people are trying to return this holiday to some of its religious roots (宗教根源). However, most don’t have that attempt. 20 They also give thanks for the good luck they received all year long. A．Why is the Harvest Festival still celebrated?

Last year, someone 29 her car while she was waiting for her friend in the car by the roadside, saying to her, “It is a special sticker. I’ve seen 30 stickers before, but none of them have touched me as your sticker has done. The two small words on the sticker seem simple enough, but they really struck a chord with many complete strangers who 31 to catch sight of the sticker.” Stories like Anne’s really 32 the rest of us. Sometimes a kind word or gesture may lift our 33 and it does’t cost a thing except for a little extra thought. Maybe it means offering a friend a hug, praising the children when they 34 well in school, helping someone out or volunteering at nursing homes. Acts of kindness can be everywhere.

Only a small child, I could not name the precise year; it is an insignificant blur in my mind, but the events of that Christmas will live forever in my heart. My father, who had been employed at Burlington, never let on to us that we were having financial difficulties. We knew only that ‘ my daddy, who usually worked long, difficult hours, was now home more than we had ever remembered; each day seemed to be a holiday. Mama, a homemaker, now’ sought work in the local textile mills, but jobs were scarce. Daddy’s unemployment check would now be our family’s only source of income. For my parents, the Christmas season brought mounds of worries, crowds of sighs and tears and cascades of prayers. I could only imagine what happened between my parents in those moments when the answer came. Perhaps it took a while for the ideas to fully form, but somehow it did. While dark, rough-skinned hands cut, hammered and painted the wood. Where I was while all of this was taking place, I had no idea. But somehow my parents found time to pour themselves into my gift, and the excitement of Christmas was once again born for the entire family. That Christmas Eve, the sun was just setting over the distant horizon when I heard the roar of an unexpected motor in the driveway. Looking outside, I could hardly believe my eyes. Uncle Buck and Aunt Charlene had driven all the way from Georgia to surprise us. Packed tightly in their car sat my grandparents. I also couldn’t help but notice innumerable gifts for all of us, all neatly packaged and tied with beautiful bows. They had known that it would be a difficult Christmas and they came to help. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next morning I awoke early and dashed to the living room. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Daddy approached and gave the gift of love to me. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共8页） 试题 第4页（共8页） 试题 第1页（共8页） 试题 第2页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit1 Festivals and Celebrations单元自测·基础卷 （考试时间：100分钟 试卷满分：120分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Across the world each year, there are hundreds of cultural festivals that celebrate the unique beliefs and traditions belonging to a specific region. Here’s an in-depth guide to the best cultural festivals around the world. BLACK-NECKED CRANE (鹤) FESTIVAL (BHUTAN) Celebrated in the courtyard of Gangtey Goemba, Bhutan, the Black-necked Crane Festival draws in large crowds of locals to celebrate the arrival of the endangered birds, which are sacred and a symbol of longevity in Bhutan. The festival is a one-day event, featuring various folk dances and songs. Children are dressed up in crane costumes and masks, performing plays that raise awareness for environmental conservation. FES FESTIVAL OF WORLD SACRED MUSIC (MOROCCO) Launched in 1994, with Morocco’s King Mohammed VI as its royal patron, the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music has grown to be one of the best music festivals in the world, attracting 100,000+ attendees each year. This festival was created to showcase the ancient city of Fes’ rich traditions in arts, knowledge, and spirituality with around 60 different concerts on offer. HOGMANAY (SCOTLAND) Hogmanay is Scotland’s New Year’s celebration, which lasts from December 31 to January 2. It’s a great celebration that begins with a massive torchlight parade and continues through street festivals, concerts, fireworks, and gathering to sing the traditional Scottish song “Auld Lang Syne.” Additionally, many families do a thorough house cleaning, blessing the house with holy water from a local stream to prepare for the New Year. 1．What can people do during BLACK-NECKED CRANE FESTIVAL?

B 2, 000 years ago, the most powerful army in the world belonged to the Romans. They conquered (占领) almost all of Europe, and parts of Asia and Africa. Life in the army was hard. And many of the soldiers long for the comforts of home. They wanted to get married and set up families. The emperor, whose name was Claudius, grew worried that his army was growing soft. So he made a law that no soldier was allowed to get married. By that time, many of the Romans were Christians. And one of their leaders was a bishop (主教), called Valentine. He believed that if a man and a woman fell in love with each other, they should get married. And so he decided to let soldiers get married in his church, even though it was against the law. The soldiers’ weddings were meant to be kept secret. But as you know, all secrets are hard to keep. And soon the word got out. Valentine was arrested (逮捕) and brought before the emperor who demanded that he stop helping soldiers to marry. When he refused, the emperor pronounced (宣判) him to death. While Valentine was in prison, the jailer’s daughter used to bring him food. She was a young blind woman. She and Valentine used to spend long hours talking to each other. And soon they fell in love. One day, Valentine put his hand through the bars of the cell and touched the lids of her closed eyes. When she opened them again, she could see. It was a miracle (奇迹). The love story didn’t continue. Unfortunately, Valentine’s execution (死刑) was set for February 14th. This took place in the year 270. And ever since, people have observed the day of February14th called Valentine’s Day, in honour of this brave bishop. 4．Why were the soldiers forbidden (禁止) to get married? A．The soldiers had no spare time to consider this. B．The soldiers who got married would become soft. C．The soldiers were not interested in marriage. D．The emperor stopped them getting married. 5．Which of the following could Valentine agree with? A．Soldiers shouldn’t get married in his church. B．Two people who love each other should get married. C．Soldiers shouldn’t get married secretly. D．It is against social custom for soldiers to get married. 6．Why does Valentine’s Day fall on February 14th? A．People used to get married on that day. B．A bishop cured his beloved girl on that day. C．Valentine’s birthday was on February 14th. D．A bishop called Valentine was sentenced to death on the day. 7．In which part of a newspaper can you most probably read the text? A．Geography. B．Travelling. C．Festival. D．Life. C You don’t have to be a fan of math to get excited about Pi ( “π” ) Day. While the event, which is also Albert Einstein’s birthday, may start with some calculations (运算) , it is more than likely to end up with a slice (片) or two of delicious pie. The holiday is held every March14, because “π” is widely recognized as 3.14. The tradition of honoring “π” began at San Francisco’s Exploratorium Museum. On March 14, 1988, physicist Larry Shaw convinced his colleagues to mark the day by marching around one of the museum’s circular spaces and eating fruit pies. The celebration was made official in 2009 when the US House of Representatives set aside March 14 as Pi Day. Today, Pi Day is observed in many creative ways. Students at the California Institute of Technology in Los Angeles host a pie-eating event, which begins at 1: 59 a. m. and features 26 pies, each of five different flavors of the popular dessert. Though that might seem random (随意的) , the date (3.14) , time (159) , number of pies (26) , and number of varieties (5) recreate (再现) the first nine digits of Pi: 3. 14159265! Students applying for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston eagerly wait for the day every year to find out if they have been accepted. However, instead of sending out the offers at 3:14 p.m., the institution waits till 6:28 p.m.. 6.28 is called Tau, which is Pi multiplied (乘) by 2. The number is believed to be much more reliable than Pi by some experts and even has its own celebration on June 28. Since 2017, MIT has also used Pi Day as a fundraiser to support its students, departments and programs. The town of Princeton, New Jersey, where Einstein lived from 1935 until his death in 1955, celebrates the occasion with multi-day festivities that end on March 14. Visitors can participate in concerts, shows, as well as pie-eating, pi-recitation (背诵) , and Einstein-lookalike contests. 8．Where was Pi Day originally celebrated? A．In San Francisco. B．In Los Angeles. C．In Boston. D．In Princeton. 9．When was Pi Day made an official holiday? A．In 1955. B．In 1988. C．In 2009. D．In 2017. 10．What does MIT do on Pi Day according to the passage? A．Set a calculating test. B．Make desserts of different flavors. C．Organize a march around the campus. D．Inform applicants of admission results. 11．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To compare. B．To introduce. C．To persuade. D．To explain. D In the remote villages of Western Alaska, a time-honored tradition known as “throwing parties” or “uqiquq” in the Yugtun language, means the commencement of the hunting and fishing season. This custom is deeply rooted in the community’s culture, serving as a celebration of not only the first catch but also significant life milestones such as graduations, births, and weddings. Mertarvik, a village situated a dozen miles from the Bering Sea, recently witnessed such a festive occasion. Mildred Tom, a local resident, took the initiative to organize this event to honor her daughter’s graduation and her grandchildren’s achievements. For several months, she had been carefully gathering and storing gifts in her home, preparing for the big day. The key of a throwing party lies in the joyous act of sharing. As the elders secure their positions among the gathering, Tom, along with her daughter Teddy Ann Bell and niece Amy Kassaili, engages in the heartwarming ceremony of tossing (投掷) gifts from a blue plastic container high into the air. The items, which include various candies, toys, and household items, represent a contemporary adaptation of the age-old practice of distributing the season’s first catch. As the distribution of gifts concludes, the younger members of the community search through the snow for any overlooked treasures. Each person departs with a special item, symbolizing the strengthening of communal (群体的) bonds that will last until the next throwing party in the fall. Safety and practicality are also considered in this celebration. Items that could pose a risk or are too large, such as wooden spoons, are carefully packed into canvas bags for distribution. The party serves double purpose, not only as a family celebration but also as a vital community gathering. This tradition stands as a symbol of the resilience (韧性) and solidarity of Western Alaska’s people, who depend on one another and their natural surroundings for life and a sense of belonging. 12．What does the underlined word “commencement” mean in paragraph 1? A．Conditions. B．Custom. C．Experiences. D．Beginning. 13．What are paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about? A．How to stay safe at the throwing party. B．How the throwing party has developed. C．How Tom’s family hold the throwing party. D．How to make the throwing party heartwarming. 14．What was the throwing party initially intended to do? A．Distribute the season’s first catch. B．Celebrate life’s significant milestones. C．Honor the achievements of family members. D．Attract people to participate in a community gathering. 15．What’s the spirit of throwing parties? A．Sharing and unity. B．Courage and bond. C．Excellence and strength. D．Creativity and optimism. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 British Harvest Festival is celebrated on or close to the Sunday of the Harvest Moon, which is the full moon that’s closest to the Autumn Equinox (秋分). 16 But it may also take place at the beginning of October in some years. This holiday is to celebrate the food that land has provided and to give thanks. The Harvest Festival can date back to the ancient Celts’ times when it was celebrated as the seasonal mid-point. 17 In Anglo-Saxon England, these traditions of the Harvest Festival continued. And during this time, it became a custom to “bless (祝福) the bread”, which would later become the tradition of giving thanks for a meal. 18 In this way, the Harvest Festival continue to develop over the next few hundred years until it became the holiday that it’s today. 19 Usually, people in Britain share a meal with friends and family and decorate homes. They also attend church, give food out to people in need, and sing songs. Some people make corn toys, which are expected to bring luck to next year’s harvest. Sometimes these toys are hung up on farm houses. Some British people are trying to return this holiday to some of its religious roots (宗教根源). However, most don’t have that attempt. 20 They also give thanks for the good luck they received all year long. A．Why is the Harvest Festival still celebrated? B．By the 1500s, many traditions had been put into this day. C．How do the British celebrate the Harvest Festival nowadays? D．Thus, this holiday usually falls around the end of September. E．In that way, it is much like the American holiday of Thanksgiving. F．They just see this holiday as a way to spend time with their family. G．During this time, people would harvest their crops and store food up for winter. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 An act of kindness doesn’t have to be a dramatic gesture.

Firstly, digital red envelopes via mobile apps have largely replaced traditional paper ones. Secondly, virtual family reunions through video calls allow people to connect instantly across distances. Moreover, online shopping platforms make festive preparations more convenient than ever. In my view, while technology brings efficiency, we should preserve traditional customs. Lighting firecrackers and writing Spring Festival couplets embody cultural heritage. Striking a balance between innovation and tradition will keep the festival’s spirit alive. 第二节 （满分25分） The next morning I awoke early and dashed to the living room. It was a sea of colorful packages. I was like kids in a candy store, my eyes wide with excitement. I tore into the gifts from our relatives, oohing and aahing over each new gift. But in the back of my mind, I couldn’t help but wonder about the gift my parents had made. I knew they must have put so much effort into it. At this moment, I noticed my parents watching me, their faces filled with a mix of joy and a hint of nervousness. Daddy approached and gave the gift of love to me. At first glance, the simple wooden toy seemed plain compared to the store-bought gifts. But as I looked closer, I saw the smooth texture of the wood, the carefully painted color, and the little details like the perfectly placed hinges. I remembered how hard my parents had worked, a wave of warmth washing over me. “Thank you,” I said, hugging my parents tightly. In that moment, I realized that this simple wooden toy, made with love, was the most precious gift of all. 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
