1.B　主旨大意题。文章开篇总述节日在各类文化中的核心作用，随后分别介绍中国春节、印度排灯节、美国感恩节等不同国家的代表性节日，结尾总结全球节日的共同价值，核心是 “不同文化中的节日”。A 局限亚洲、C 侧重食物、D 强调 “最著名” 均不符合主旨，故选 B。 2.D　细节理解题。排灯节的象征意义是 “光明战胜黑暗”，春节的象征意义是 “驱赶邪灵、迎接繁荣”。A 是庆祝方式而非象征意义，B、C 在文中无对应描述，故选 D。 3.A　词义猜测题。第三段中 “enchanting” 与 “fascinating” 为并列关系，“fascinating” 意为 “迷人的”，且后文描述的排灯节习俗充满美感，可推断其意为 “有吸引力的”。B “疲惫的”、C “无聊的”、D “危险的” 均与语境矛盾，故选 A。​ 七、七选五 1．B 2．A 3．D 4．F 5．G

承上启下，既呼应上文 “文化核心” 的定位，又引出下文对节日起源和目的的具体说明，语义连贯。故选 B 项。 2.A　下文通过中国春节吃饺子、印度排灯节交换糖果、美国感恩节分享火鸡的例子，说明 “团聚” 的习俗。选项 A “许多节日以家庭团聚为核心” 位于段首，概括该段主旨，且与下文例子中的 “gather”“share” 语义一致，逻辑紧密。故选 A 项。 3.D　下文具体介绍了各国节日中 “装饰家园”“特殊仪式” 等习俗及其意义。选项 D “习俗在节日庆祝中扮演着重要角色” 引出下文对习俗的详细阐述，选项中 “Customs” 与下文 “decorating homes”“Rituals” 语义相关，行文逻辑连贯。故选 D 项。 4.F　上文介绍节日习俗，下文转折说明 “部分旧习俗消失但核心价值不变”。选项 F“尽管形式有变化，节日的精神依然存续” 体现了这种转折关系，选项中 “changes in forms” 呼应下文 “fade away”，“the spirit endures” 呼应 “core values remain unchanged”，逻辑合理。故选 F 项。 5.G　上文强调节日核心价值不变，下文总结节日 “提醒我们人类对爱、和平与联结的共同渴望”。选项 G “这些共同的价值让节日成为一种通用的文化语言” 承接上文 “核心价值”，引出下文对人类共同渴望的总结，选项中 “shared values” 与下文 “desire love, peace, and connection” 语义一致，升华主题。故选 G 项。​ 八、完形填空 1．B 2．C 3．C 4．A 5．B 6．C 7．C 8．A 9．D 10．A 11．B 12．C 13．A 14．B 15．A

They involve various activities, from decorating homes to performing special rituals, all reflecting the unique heritage of different communities. The Spring Festival is a highlight in Chinese culture. Families spend days cleaning their houses to sweep away bad luck and decorating with red lanterns and couplets symbolizing good fortune. Children receive red envelopes containing lucky money, while adults enjoy feasting on traditional dumplings and rice cakes. The lion and dragon dances, accompanied by loud drums and firecrackers, add to the festive atmosphere, driving away evil spirits and welcoming prosperity. In India, Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is equally enchanting and fascinating. People light diyas (oil lamps) and candles to symbolize the victory of light over darkness. Exchanging sweets, decorating floors with rangoli patterns, and setting off fireworks are common practices. The festival also marks the start of the Hindu New Year, with businesses opening new accounts and people wearing new clothes to signify a fresh beginning. Thanksgiving in the US is a time to express gratitude. Families gather to enjoy a turkey dinner, sharing stories about what they are thankful for. Parades featuring giant balloons and marching bands fill the streets, while many participate in charity work, donating food to those in need. This festival is truly special for its spirit of giving and being with loved ones. Whether it’s admiring the vibrant colors of Holi in India, savoring mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, or attending carnivals in Brazil, festivals worldwide unite people in celebrating life’s beauty. They remind us of the importance of tradition, family, and the joy of coming together. 1.What is the best title of this passage? A.Rituals Only in Asian Festivals.

These acts of coming together are more than just customs; they strengthen bonds between loved ones. 　3　 In many cultures, decorating homes with symbols of good fortune is common—red lanterns in China, rangoli patterns in India, or candles in Western countries. Rituals like lion dances or lighting diyas also carry special meanings, often driving away misfortune and welcoming prosperity. 　4　 Some old traditions fade away as societies develop, but the core values of festivals remain unchanged. People still seek joy, express gratitude, and honor their roots through these celebrations. 　5　 They remind us that despite cultural differences, we all desire love, peace, and connection.

They involve various activities, from decorating homes to performing special rituals, all reflecting the unique heritage of different communities. The Spring Festival is a highlight in Chinese culture. Families spend days cleaning their houses to sweep away bad luck and decorating with red lanterns and couplets symbolizing good fortune. Children receive red envelopes containing lucky money, while adults enjoy feasting on traditional dumplings and rice cakes. The lion and dragon dances, accompanied by loud drums and firecrackers, add to the festive atmosphere, driving away evil spirits and welcoming prosperity. In India, Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is equally enchanting and fascinating. People light diyas (oil lamps) and candles to symbolize the victory of light over darkness. Exchanging sweets, decorating floors with rangoli patterns, and setting off fireworks are common practices. The festival also marks the start of the Hindu New Year, with businesses opening new accounts and people wearing new clothes to signify a fresh beginning. Thanksgiving in the US is a time to express gratitude. Families gather to enjoy a turkey dinner, sharing stories about what they are thankful for. Parades featuring giant balloons and marching bands fill the streets, while many participate in charity work, donating food to those in need. This festival is truly special for its spirit of giving and being with loved ones. Whether it’s admiring the vibrant colors of Holi in India, savoring mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, or attending carnivals in Brazil, festivals worldwide unite people in celebrating life’s beauty. They remind us of the importance of tradition, family, and the joy of coming together. 1.What is the best title of this passage? A.Rituals Only in Asian Festivals.
