It tasted of sharp berries and smelt of sour grapes. My family lived in a cabin（小木屋）in the countryside but I lived in my mother's arms. They were so delicate but strong, her red hair falling around me like a curtain separating me from the world. Childhood was simple. The borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and monsters only lived in the pages of books. Every day was a waking dream of running races and muddy knees. My village was archaic, dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions. There weren't many children but me and the other boys; boys of butchers and sellers formed our own group. They called us wild. I suppose we were. Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter. Free from the restrictions of society, we would run into the woods, deeper and deeper until we found a lake which, with a wild yell, we would jump into all at once. My most vivid memories from boyhood centre around that lake. Water shone brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into the outcry from birds. The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom. As we submerged（淹没）, time would stop, movements slowing as bubbles rose around us. I was drowning. I was living. I was living. I was drowning. For timelessness or a second (both felt the same), we would stop, curl up（蜷缩起来）, and then be forced back out into breathing air. We should have known that it wouldn't last forever. Yet, even under the best circumstances, there's something so tragic about growing up: to have your perspective（看法）on the people and life around you change; to always struggle to reach a mirror only to find yourself tall enough to see your reflection one day. And find, a different person staring back out at you. 1. What does the underlined word “archaic” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Borderless. B. Valueless. C. Old-fashioned. D. Poor. 2. Why did the author consider himself and other children wild? A. They played in the woods crazily. B. They tricked others purposefully. C. They frequently broke social rules. D. They firmly refused school education. 3. How does the author introduce his memories of the lake? A. By sharing feelings. B. By expressing ideas. C. By making comparisons. D. By describing characters. 4. What message does the author seem to convey in the last paragraph? A. Loneliness and challenges make a man grow up. B. The regret of growth is that you have never tried. C. Growth is often accompanied by sad goodbyes to the past. D. Growth begins when we begin to accept our own weakness. B As a Chinese native religion, Taoism has a close relationship with Chinese folk customs. With the development of Taoism, it has become deep-rooted in, and the practices of, the ordinary people. This can be seen both in Taoist religious festivals and sacrifice-offerings. There are many Taoist festivals, and quite a few of them have evolved into folk festivals. For example, the Double Ninth Festival on 9 September of lunar calendar came from the Taoist festival. It is said that in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220), there was a Taoist immortal named Fei Changfang, who was resourceful enough to drive all devils away. At that time, he had a pupil called Huan Jing. One day, Fei Changfang foresaw a disaster on 9 September in Huan Jing's family, and told Huan Jing to fasten a bundle of dogwood onto his arm, and drink chrysanthemum wine in an elevated place so as to prevent the disaster. Having done what he had been told, Huan Jing's family was indeed safe and sound. Along with the spreading of Taoism, this legend has evolved into the Double Ninth Festival. When the day comes, people will carry dogwood and drink chrysanthemum wine in elevated places. Many immortals in Taoism came into being on the basis of earthy folk gods, and thus the Taoist god-worshipping system has much in common with the earthy folk god-worshipping. On the one hand, a number of earthy folk gods such as Caishen (mammon), Chenghuangsen (city god), Dongyuedadi (god of East Mountain) and Guanshengdi (god of Saint Guan) have become part of the pedigree of folk gods; on the other hand, Taoist immortals such as Laojun (Holy Lord), Yuhuangdadi (Jade Emperor) and Baxian (eight immortals) have become widespread and part of people's life. Moreover, some Taoist taboo tricks have an extensive influence on the folk society, especially in the countryside; or rather, they have constituted a necessary part of folk customs. The combination of Taoism and Chinese folk customs is in various aspects, but it is mainly embodied in celebrations of festivals and seasonal changes and spirit worshiping. 5. Where can you probably find this text? A. From a history textbook. B. From a travel brochure. C. From a research paper. D. From a cultural website. 6. How are Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly developed? A. By analysing causes and effects. B. By giving examples. C. By making comparisons. D. By following time order. 7. What is the genre or type of literature of this text? A. A story. B. An argumentation. C. An exposition. D. A news report. 8. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Taoism and Folk Customs B. Taoism, a Chinese Native Religion C. The Origin of Chinese Folk Customs D. The Development of Taoism II. 七选五 Your family may have special traditions, particularly during this time of year as the holidays approach.

III. 读后续写 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Weeks before Thanksgiving arrived, my anxiety about it increased. My husband and I recently made a cross-country move with our young child Jill. Our neighbour was an old couple, Mr Smith and Mrs Smith, who were kind and friendly. Our new home was in a mess. "We should start thinking about plans for Thanksgiving," I suggested. "Don't worry about it," my husband said. "Heat up some hot dogs, maybe some cheese, and the kid will be happy." That sounded great. I was in a relief! In the past holidays, I had never been responsible for cooking a full Thanksgiving dinner. My job was always to bring drinks or a side dish to a large gathering (items that had the highest success rate) and help clean up after the meal. But one day my son Jill happily showed newly-created turkey crafts. "Let's go on a walk and try to find a rock that looks like turkey!" Jill shouted to me. "Take me on a walk, Mummy!" The excitement was building, and I had a feeling that hot dogs were not going to be enough for my child on Thanksgiving. "I'm going to try and prepare Thanksgiving food, Leonard," I said to my husband late one night. He eyed me curiously, "You sure?" Then he said, "Okay, then, if you think you can do it." I said, "I've got two days to prepare. The grocery store is open twenty-four hours. I'm going to the store!" Unfortunately, only a huge turkey remained, so I had no choice but to buy a thirty-pound turkey. Early Thanksgiving morning, I dragged (拖；拽) the bagged turkey home. When my family saw it, they got a big surprise at its size. Seeing the surprise on their faces, I realised there was no way we could finish the turkey. It's too big for my family. "There was only one turkey left in the store," I explained. "But how could we finish the turkey?" I asked my husband and Jill. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式作答。 Jill said we could invite our neighbour, Mr and Mrs Smith, to share with us.______________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, Mr and Mrs Smith came to my house with a big smile on their faces.___________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________ Unit 4 History and Traditions课时作业 Revision答案与解析 [基础练] I. 单词拼写 1. approaching 2. achievements 3. evidence 4.

"I found the old couple were very lonely because no one had paid a visit to them since we moved here. Besides, I didn't see them buy anything for Thanksgiving." Knowing that, we reached the agreement on inviting the couple. Jill was responsible for the invitation and my husband and I were in charge of dinner. Realising it would take hours to cook, we busied ourselves making an entire dinner. Soon, Mr and Mrs Smith came to my house with a big smile on their faces. They greeted us and we made introduction to each other. Seeing my husband and I were clumsy(笨拙的) at preparing dinner, the couple offered to give us a hand. With the help of them, a fancy dinner was done in no time. Obviously Mrs Smith had a great talent for cooking. As a special treat, I laid out a beautiful red table cloth, candles and our best china. We gathered around the table, eating delicious Thanksgiving dinner and making a promise to spend Christmas together. 第 1 页 共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
