Classic plays like Romeo and Juliet and creative modern stories were presented.     The festival received enthusiastic applause from both teachers and students. It was widely praised as a valuable opportunity to learn English through fun activities and teamwork. 第二节（满分25分） As I continued walking, I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots while Mum was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents. The thought froze me for what seemed ages before I changed my mind. With a load lifted off my mind, I bounced into a big grocery store across the street. Soon, I found myself weighed down by all the Christmas treats. Having spent every dime of my hard-earned money, I went home with satisfaction. With two full bags of groceries on the doorstep, I knocked on the door eagerly. I could hardly wait to see my mother’s face! When Mum opened the door, she just stood there completely dumbfounded by the groceries. Holding back the tears, I said, “Merry Christmas!” I had a lot of explaining to do as we unpacked all the food and put it away. That day I got enough hugs and kisses from Mum to last two lifetimes. To see my Mum’s prayers answered more than made up for the boots I never got. It was a Merry Christmas for us after 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 $ Unit1 Festivals and Celebrations单元自测·提升卷 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150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 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1．What language will the man learn this year?

In these 4 cities around the world, Christmas time is a magical experience like no other. Tallinn, Estonia For an up-and-coming travel destination with one of the best preserved medieval towns in the world, head to this Baltic capital. It also just so happens to be gorgeous at Christmas time, with an authentic Christmas market, Christmas festival, concerts, and Christmas tree—thought to be the oldest public display of a Christmas tree in the world. Bruges, Belgium This pedestrian-friendly city is breathtaking to walk around at Christmas time—or take a boat ride along the canals. The medieval buildings look like gingerbread houses, and the lights decorating them give a truly magical glow. The city’s holiday events include a midwinter festival, carolling and music, and an ice sculpture exhibit. Rome, Italy There isn’t a more spiritual place than Rome with its many beautiful churches and cathedrals. Visitors can attend Christmas Eve midnight mass in St. Peter’s square; tickets for inside the basilica usually sell out months in advance. In addition, the Pope will appear on the basilica’s balcony to give his blessing on Christmas Day. Rovaniemi, Finland You can’t get any Christmas-ier than a sleigh ride—and that’s one of the highlights here. “The official hometown of Santa Claus” features Santa Claus Village on the Arctic Circle, where visitors can take reindeer and husky rides.

There are 57 number of things people usually do before the Chinese Spring Festival. One of these is cleaning the house for the Lunar New Year. Therefore, sweeping dust out of the house is a way of saying goodbye to the old things. 58 important custom for families is to decorate their doors with red couplets. In the southern part of China, people will buy fresh flowers or orange trees 59 (decorate) their homes. The 60 (important) custom of the Chinese Spring Festival is the big family dinner on the eve of the Lunar New Year. This is usually a big reunion of grandparents, parents, and children. It reflects how important family is to Chinese people around the world. That is 61 millions of Chinese people travel long distances to get home before the eve of the Lunar New Year. 62 (eat) fish is supposed to bring more wealth and prosperity than one needs, as the 63 (pronounce) of “fish” in Chinese (yu) is also used for “surplus”. Deeply 64 (root) in the heart of the Chinese people, these 65 (tradition) customs will be passed down generation by generation. 【答案】 56．is regarded 57．a 58．Another 59．to decorate 60．most important 61．why 62．Eating 63．pronunciation 64．rooted 65．traditional 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍春节是中国人最重要的节日，提及节前扫尘、贴春联等习俗，强调年夜饭意义，还说明吃鱼寓意，这些习俗会代代相传。 56．考查动词时态和语态。句意：中国的春节被认为是中国人一年中最重要的节日。主语 The Chinese Spring Festival 和动词 regard 是被动关系，意为“被看作”；且本句描述客观事实，用一般现在时的被动语态，所以填 is regarded。固定搭配：be regarded as“被认为是……”。故填is regarded。 57．考查固定短语。句意：在中国春节之前，人们通常会做一些事情。此处为固定短语a number of，意为“许多、大量”，后接可数名词复数（things）。故填a。 58．考查代词。句意：家庭的另一个重要习俗是用红色的对联装饰门。前文提到“打扫房子” 是春节前的习俗之一，此处指“另一个重要习俗”，表示“三者及以上中的另一个”，用代词Another，句首首字母大写。故填Another。 59．考查动词不定式。句意：在中国的南方，人们会买鲜花或橘子树来装饰他们的家。根据句意可知，此处用不定式to do作目的状语，表示人们买鲜花或橘子树的目的是装饰家。故填to decorate。 60．考查形容词最高级。句意：中国春节最重要的习俗是农历新年前夕的家庭聚餐。根据语境，年夜饭是春节“最重要的”习俗，且空格前有定冠词the，需用形容词important的最高级形式most important。故填most important。 61．考查表语从句。句意：这就是为什么数以百万计的中国人在农历新年前夕长途跋涉回家。分析句子可知，设空处引导表语从句，前文说明家庭团聚的重要性，后文解释“数百万中国人长途跋涉回家”的原因，所以此处为连接副词why引导表语从句，构成固定句型 That is why... 表示“这就是…… 的原因”。故填why。 62．考查动名词。句意：吃鱼被认为会带来比需要的更多财富和繁荣，因为“鱼”在汉语中的发音（余）也被用来表示“剩余”。分析句子可知，此处需要用动名词作句子的主语，表示 “吃鱼”这个习俗，动名词作主语时谓语动词用单数，句首首字母大写。故填Eating。 63．考查名词。句意：吃鱼被认为会带来比需要更多的财富和繁荣，因为“鱼”在汉语中的发音（余）也被用来表示“剩余”。空格前有定冠词 the，后有介词 of，需填入名词。pronounce的名词形式是pronunciation(发音)，指“鱼”的读音和“余”相同。故填pronunciation。 64．考查非谓语动词。句意：这些传统习俗深深植根于中国人的心中，将代代相传。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作状语，root和逻辑主语customs为被动关系，固定搭配be rooted in“植根于……”，此处省略 be 动词，用过去分词作状语。故填rooted。 65．考查形容词。句意：这些传统习俗深深植根于中国人的心中，将代代相传。空格后是名词 customs，需用形容词作定语修饰名词。tradition 的形容词形式是 traditional“传统的”。故填traditional。 第四部分 写作（共两节, 满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66．假设你是校英语报记者李华，近期你校举办了一年一度的英语戏剧节（English Drama Festival）， 请你为此次活动写一篇新闻报道。内容包括： 1.活动目的；2.活动内容；3.活动反响 注意： 1.词数 80 词左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Annual English Drama Festival Successfully Held _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】   Annual English Drama Festival Successfully Held     Our school recently held its annual English Drama Festival, aiming to improve students’ spoken English and stage confidence while enriching campus life.     Students from different grades staged wonderful performances.

Mum struggled to raise us kids on her own in our small community of New Westminster. BC． My Dad had died five years earlier. There was not much money, so we went on relief, now called social assistance. Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would fold and put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, which were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have “French Toast” — deep-fried bread — ready for us. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be forced to leave right after Christmas. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained. Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund. It was four days before Christmas, and Mum said instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent, assuring us all of a roof for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas. Mum prayed for a special Christmas. Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas trees and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of twenty-three dollars. The big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. Extremely thrilled, I hurried in  the street. On the way, I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then that I realized that at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas goodies. I knew then that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt upset. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: As I continued walking, I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: With two full bags of groceries on the doorstep, I knocked on the door eagerly. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As I continued walking, I was feeling a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots while Mum was home in tears. She would be trying to explain to us why there were no presents. The thought froze me for what seemed ages before I changed my mind. With a load lifted off my mind, I bounced into a big grocery store across the street. Soon, I found myself weighed down by all the Christmas treats. Having spent every dime of my hard-earned money, I went home with satisfaction. With two full bags of groceries on the doorstep, I knocked on the door eagerly. I could hardly wait to see my mother’s face! When Mum opened the door, she just stood there completely dumbfounded by the groceries. Holding back the tears, I said, “Merry Christmas!” I had a lot of explaining to do as we unpacked all the food and put it away. That day I got enough hugs and kisses from Mum to last two lifetimes. To see my Mum’s prayers answered more than made up for the boots I never got. It was a Merry Christmas for us after all! 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了在经济萧条末期的新威斯敏斯特，作者一家生活拮据，靠社会救济交房租。圣诞将至，作者怀揣打工挣得的钱打算买双靴子，却意识到家里没有置办任何过节的物品，于是开始重新考虑自己的计划。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我继续走的时候，我感到一种奇怪的负罪感。”可知，第一段可描写作者要去买双新靴子时想起了妈妈的难处，于是作者改变了计划。 ②由第二段首句内容“门阶上放着满满两袋食品杂货，我急切地敲门”可知，第二段可描写作者拿着杂货回到家中，妈妈的表情以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：想起了妈妈的难处——改变计划——买杂货回到家——妈妈惊讶——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①买：buy /purchase ②改变：change /alter ③发现：find /spot ④获得：get /gain 情绪类 ①如释重负：With a load lifted off my mind / feeling relieved ②满意：satisfaction /content 【点睛】[高分句型1] Having spent every dime of my hard-earned money, I went home with satisfaction..

Tallinn, Estonia For an up-and-coming travel destination with one of the best preserved medieval towns in the world, head to this Baltic capital. It also just so happens to be gorgeous at Christmas time, with an authentic Christmas market, Christmas festival, concerts, and Christmas tree—thought to be the oldest public display of a Christmas tree in the world. Bruges, Belgium This pedestrian-friendly city is breathtaking to walk around at Christmas time—or take a boat ride along the canals. The medieval buildings look like gingerbread houses, and the lights decorating them give a truly magical glow. The city’s holiday events include a midwinter festival, carolling and music, and an ice sculpture exhibit. Rome, Italy There isn’t a more spiritual place than Rome with its many beautiful churches and cathedrals. Visitors can attend Christmas Eve midnight mass in St. Peter’s square; tickets for inside the basilica usually sell out months in advance. In addition, the Pope will appear on the basilica’s balcony to give his blessing on Christmas Day. Rovaniemi, Finland You can’t get any Christmas-ier than a sleigh ride—and that’s one of the highlights here. “The official hometown of Santa Claus” features Santa Claus Village on the Arctic Circle, where visitors can take reindeer and husky rides. Rovaniemi also offers other seasonal activities like viewing the Northern Lights, winter swimming, and enjoying a warm sauna. 21．What do the first two destinations have in common? A．Visitors can enjoy music in both places. B．Both cities offer a visit to a Christmas tree. C．You can take a boat ride in these two cities.

Every morning she would fold and put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, which were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have “French Toast” — deep-fried bread — ready for us. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be forced to leave right after Christmas. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained. Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund. It was four days before Christmas, and Mum said instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent, assuring us all of a roof for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas. Mum prayed for a special Christmas. Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas trees and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of twenty-three dollars. The big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. Extremely thrilled, I hurried in  the street. On the way, I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then that I realized that at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas goodies.

In these 4 cities around the world, Christmas time is a magical experience like no other. Tallinn, Estonia For an up-and-coming travel destination with one of the best preserved medieval towns in the world, head to this Baltic capital. It also just so happens to be gorgeous at Christmas time, with an authentic Christmas market, Christmas festival, concerts, and Christmas tree—thought to be the oldest public display of a Christmas tree in the world. Bruges, Belgium This pedestrian-friendly city is breathtaking to walk around at Christmas time—or take a boat ride along the canals. The medieval buildings look like gingerbread houses, and the lights decorating them give a truly magical glow. The city’s holiday events include a midwinter festival, carolling and music, and an ice sculpture exhibit. Rome, Italy There isn’t a more spiritual place than Rome with its many beautiful churches and cathedrals.

Every morning she would fold and put a new piece of cardboard in our shoes, which were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have “French Toast” — deep-fried bread — ready for us. Rent was twenty-five dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be forced to leave right after Christmas. These were hard and sad years, but we never complained. Christmas was approaching, and we were entitled to a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund. It was four days before Christmas, and Mum said instead of buying food, she would use the money to pay back rent, assuring us all of a roof for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas. Mum prayed for a special Christmas. Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas trees and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of twenty-three dollars. The big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. Extremely thrilled, I hurried in  the street. On the way, I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then that I realized that at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas goodies.
