UK, because she was worried they were growing up not knowing enough about their heritage. The 21-year-old, who studies at Richard Taunton Sixth Form College in the city, impressed Energise Me, an organization that supports young people to make creative changes in their communities, with her plans for the classes. Christine, whose family is from Cameroon, wanted to pass on her love of traditional African dance to youngsters from the ethnic communities near where she lives. She came up with the idea of Cultural Kidz, a weekly Afrobeat dance class using traditional steps, at St Mary’s Primary School for youngsters aged eight and nine and was awarded the money to set it up. “I just wanted to create something where kids could learn something about theirs and someone else’s culture. It’s important because if you don’t know about the place where you come from you don’t understand the culture and you don’t learn to respect(尊重) it,” she said. The first class ended their term with a presentation for their parents. “It was such a beautiful moment seeing them all come together wearing traditional clothing and seeing the smiles on their parents’ faces,” said Christine. This term’s class attracts over 50 young dancers every Thursday. Christine said she has had great support from her college. The money was awarded through Energise Me’s The Agency, a creative program that encourages young people to make social changes. Assistant facilitator Megan Smith said: “Christine is always in good spirits and that’s what has made her a good teacher.” Richard Taunton president Paul Swindale said the student’s passion (激情) has touched them. “We’re very proud of Christine and her determination to share her love of dance with young people. We are a diverse (多元化的) college that promotes respect for all cultures and it is so heart-warming to see Christine take that a step further with this project.” 1. What is Christine’s purpose of setting up Cultural Kidz? A. To help youngsters from Africa get jobs in the culture industry. B. To provide educational services for young mothers in the city. C. To protect and promote traditional African dance. D. To improve the community environment in the city. 2. How did Energise Me support Christine? A. By funding her program. B. By training her in teaching. C. By sharing her story on social media. D. By introducing her to the teachers of Richard Taunton. 3. What do we know about Cultural Kidz? A. It needs more money. B. It is truly a success story. C. It has made Christine world-famous. D. It has raised doubts in Christine’s community. 4. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to? A. The love of dance. B. The pride of Africa. C. Serving local communities. D. Appreciating different cultures. 参考答案 I.单句语法填空 1. to charge 2. had announced 3. depends 4. galleries 5. approached 6. to ensure 7. landscape's 8. generously 9. ancestors 10. was positioned Ⅱ、用现在分词或过去分词填空 1. lighted 2. stealing 3. closed 4. hidden 5. dating 6. dressed 7. cooked 8. frightened Ⅲ、单句写作 1. fallen leaves 2. disappointed look 3. boiled egg 4. experienced driver 5. invented at the university four years ago 6. make his voice heard 7. have the bottles washed 8. with her eyes fixed upon the ground IV.完形填空 【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。作者描述了自己所在小镇的除夕夜习俗。 1.答案A 解析根据本句中的However及下文的描述可知，尽管来风刺疼了“我”的耳朵，但“我”依然很开心。trouble在此作动词，意为“使苦恼”，符合语境。 2.答案C 解析本文描述的是除夕夜的传统习俗。下文中的“the tradition”也可提示本空答案。Hogmanay “（尤指苏格兰的）除夕”。 3.答案 D 4.答案C 解析 根据上文的Honestly和下文中作者对该习俗的介绍可知，该习俗的起源对“我”来说并不“重要（important）”，关键是在这个特殊的夜晚“我”可以和其他男孩子拜访镇上的每家每户，“玩得开心(having fun)"。 be out and abour“到处走动”。 5.答案 D 6.答案 A 解析 根据上文中的“going from house to house”和“I was out and about"及"There were about 25 houses to visit in my town of North Boisdale”可知，男孩子们在小镇的一头“碰面（meet up)”，然后开始挨家挨户“登门拜访（visit）”。 7.答案 B 解析 根据下文中的“Fruit，biscuits and of course sweets”及“After being to each house the pillowcases would be...heavy"和“the goodies shared out equally”可知，被拜访的人家会给这些男孩子一些好吃的。在所有选项中，只有received符合语境。 8.答案A 解析根据本句中的“Outside each house”及下文中的“Once inside the house”可知，男孩子们要征得主人的许可方可“进（enter)”屋。 9.答案D 解析根据语境可知，进到屋里后，年龄最大的那个男孩会点燃一支蜡烛，然后，蜡烛会一—传递给家里的成员。then符合语境。 10.答案B 解析下文中“Fruit, biscuits and of course sweets”对设空处作进一步解释说明。由此可知，gifts符合语境。 11.答案B 解析 根据上文中的“Outside each house”“Once inside the house"及下文中的“After being to eachhouse”可知，此处表示他们“离开（leaving）”的时候。 12.答案D 解析本文描述的是除夕夜的习俗，结合空后的“the family luck in the coming year”可知，年龄最大的男孩会祝愿这家人在新的一年里好运连连，故选wish。 13.答案B 解析根据上文中的“Each person had a pillowcase that would be filled with goodies"及本甸中的“After being to eachhouse和heavy可知，此处表示“他们带的枕头套里会装满好吃的”，full符合语境。 14.答案 解析 本句中的“the goodies shared out equally”说明枕头套会被“清空（emptied)”，好吃的会均分给每个人 15.答案B 解析 本甸中的“so all the boys were home before the bells”说明派对在午夜前会结束。设空处所填的词应该与“结束”具有相同或相近的含义，故选 finish。 V.阅读理解 【语篇解读】本文是新闻报道。学生Christine开设舞蹈课程，保护和弘扬非洲舞文化。 1.答案C 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“run African dance classes for youngsters in Southampton, UK, because she was worried they were growing up not knowing enough about their heritage”以及第三段中的“Christine... wanted to pass on her love of traditional African dance to youngsters”可知，Christine来自喀麦隆，她创办Cultural Kidz舞蹈班是想通过教少数民族社区的孩子们学习非洲舞来保护和弘扬非洲舞文化。 2.答案A 解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“convinced funders to award her ￡1,000”和第二段中的“impressed Energise Me，an organization that supports young people to make creative changes”以及第五段中的“The money was,awarded through Energise Me's The Agency”可知，Energise Me 为 Christine的Cultural Kidz项目提供了资金支持。 3.答案B 解析推理判断题。根据第四段中的“It was such a beautiful moment seeing them all come together wearing traditional clothing and seeing the smiles on their parents' faces"以及"This term's class attracts over 50 young dancers every Thursday.
