In this post, we will explore four interesting cultural traditions around the world. Giving cinnamon (肉桂) in Denmark In the western part of Denmark, if a person is not yet married by the time they reach their 25th birthday, they will be restrained by their friends and have cinnamon thrown on them in the New Year’s Eve. The unique tradition can be translated to “giving cinnamon”. The Festival of Light in Thailand The Festival of Light, also called “Loy Krathong”, is on the evening of the full moon on the 12th month of the Thai lunar calendar. The maker of the krathong attaches a candle to the handcrafted flower arrangement, which will be floating down riverways to pray for financial luck and happiness in the coming year. Wife-carrying Competition in Finland More of a competitive sport than it is a tradition, a Wife-carrying Competition in Finland. Athletes participate in a race where a male competitor carries a female competitor through an obstacle course. The winners are the fastest team, which will be awarded an interesting bonus — the wife’s weight in beer. Baking money into food in Bolivia While many people anticipate watching fireworks and tasting delicious dishes on the New Year’s Eve, Bolivians bake money into sugary dessert such as cakes. The lucky person receiving the monetary surprise can look forward to enjoying a prosperous year. Do you want to know more? Check out the following post about traditions from around the world. 1. Who will be thrown cinnamon on in Denmark? A. A 24-year-old fiancée. B. A single person over 25. C A father on his 25th birthday. D. A 26-year-old divorced friend. 2. What does the traditions in Thailand and in Bolivia have in common? A. Both are celebrated in the New Years’ Eve. B. Both are concerned with the moon goddess. C. Both involve fireworks and delicious dishes. D. Both are related to people’s wish for wealth. 3. Where will you probably find this text? A. https://www.worldwide.com/blog. B. https://www.artexhibit.com/portrait. C. https://www.livebroadcast.com/soccer. D. https://www.onlinevideo.com/diasters. B A few years ago, a chance encounter with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) excited my deep interest in this ancient culture. Greatly fascinated, I decided to pursue a systematic study. I applied to Yunnan University of Chinese Medicine, and I was overjoyed the day I received my admission letter. At the beginning, the ancient Chinese classics and complex processes of herb collection, identification and combination were quite challenging to me. Fortunately, I had the patient guidance of professors and the enthusiastic help of classmates to rely on. I remember when I first started learning acupuncture (针灸), I was often too hesitant to actually use the needles. To encourage me, my senior classmates generously acted as patients, braving the discomfort to let me practice acupuncture techniques on their bodies. With their support and motivation, my acupuncture skills steadily improved, and my studies quickly got on track. During my learning journey, the most memorable experience was my internship (实习) at the Yunnan Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. There, I had the opportunity to participate directly in patient care. I looked forward to every Saturday afternoon when I could shadow my teacher. After each patient consultation, she would give me a detailed explanation: what the patient’s pulse (脉搏) indicated, what it represented in terms of their conditions, and the role of each herb in the prescription (处方). This approach helped shape my diagnostic thinking and was incredibly beneficial to me. Even though this meant she could never leave work on time, she never complained. As an ancient Chinese saying goes, “It’s easier to get a teacher of classics than a teacher of character.” My every day in China has been filled with challenges and surprises. TCM has taught me not just the skills to heal and save lives but how to view life. I have come to understand that the power of culture lies more in its ability to connect hearts than in its uniqueness. People from different cultural backgrounds can actually form strong connections. 4. Which of the following did the author find difficult when starting studying TCM? A. How to collect ancient Chinese classics. B. How to combine different herbs properly. C. How to communicate effectively with professors. D. How to understand the ancient Chinese philosophy. 5. Why does the author mention the experience of learning acupuncture? A. To show the complexity of acupuncture. B. To introduce the procedures of studying TCM. C. To illustrate the supportive learning environment. D. To stress the dangers of improper acupuncture techniques. 6. What does the author mean by the saying in paragraph 4? A. His TCM teacher is highly professional. B. His TCM teacher is selfless and devoted. C. His TCM teacher is strict and demanding. D. His TCM teacher is easy to get along with. 7. What does the author learn from the experience of studying TCM? A. Life is precious. B. Hard work pays off. C. Uniqueness unites, not divides. D. Culture is a bridge, not a wall. C Fantasy stories often feature walking trees, like Groot or the Whomping Willow. While real trees aren’t that athletic, science shows they do move, just incredibly slowly. Trees constantly seek sunlight and water. Young trees stretch their branches towards the sun in a process called phototropism. They need light to grow. If sunlight is blocked, they slowly bend towards brighter areas. Tree roots also move. They sense water in the soil and grow towards it. Sometimes, this causes problems when roots seek water inside pipes, even reaching into people’s toilets. There are tales of a “walking palm tree” in Central and South America that supposedly moves using its special roots. However, scientists say there’s no real evidence that trees actually get up and walk like those in the stories. While individual trees stay rooted, entire forests can move over very long periods. This is called forest migration (迁移). Trees don’t walk or fly, they migrate over generations by spreading their seeds. Animals like squirrels carry nuts. Birds eat berries and drop the seeds elsewhere. Wind blows seeds to new locations. Seeds that land in suitable spots grow into new trees. Historically, forests slowly migrated as climates changed, perhaps moving 100—500 meters per year. But today, human-caused climate change is damaging habitats much faster than forests can naturally move. Rising seas threaten coastal forests like mangroves. Warmer temperatures make it hard for spruce trees in Canada. Drier weather harms pines in the American southwest. “Trees just cannot keep up,” says ecologist Leslie Brandt: “Their habitats are changing faster than they can migrate.” To help, scientists are trying “assisted migration”. This means planting tree seeds in new areas where the future climate might suit them better. For example, in Minnesota, forests are suffering from more floods and harmful insects, so scientists are planting trees like cottonwoods and willows to replace dying maples (枫树). They work with local communities to ensure these changes meet everyone’s needs, as people rely on forests! Even though forests need to adapt, the goal isn’t to completely change them, but to help them survive. 8. What do scientists say about the “walking palm tree”? A. Its roots can damage water pipes. B. It moves quickly using special roots. C. It grows well in wet environments. D. There is no clear proof of its walking. 9 How do forests migrate naturally over generations? A. By seeds being spread to new areas. B. By roots growing towards water. C. By animals carrying adult trees. D. By scientists planting new seeds. 10. Why are scientists planting cottonwoods and willows in Minnesota? A. Their roots hold soil in place. B. Locals prize them for beauty. C. They survive floods and insect attacks. D. They outgrow maples in cold climates. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. Differences between fantasy trees and real ones. B. The role of seeds in tree growth. C. How climate change harms forests. D. Natural and assisted forest migration. D Walter Benjamin, the German philosopher, once noted that boredom was the “dream bird that hatches the egg of experience”. However, the creative flights of fancy which often arise from having little to do are being killed off by social media, researchers argued. Viewing mindlessly through attention-grabbing posts and videos prevents “profound (深层的) boredom” that can drive people on to new passions or skills. Instead, people find themselves in a state of “superficial boredom”, which does not motivate creative thought. Dr Timothy Hill, leader of the research team at the University of Bath, said, “The problem we observed was that social media can ease superficial boredom. But that also consumes time and energy, and may prevent people progressing to a state of profound boredom, where they might discover new passions. Profound boredom may sound like a negative concept but, in fact, it can be intensely positive if people are given the chance for undisturbed thinking and development. Researchers interviewed 15 people during the pandemic (流行病), when boredom was more likely because of restrictions. Many described being trapped in regularly daily walks and watching television, with many turning to social media to pass the time. But although the participants said that social media provided a temporary escape from superficial boredom, it also appeared to exacerbate it, leaving them feeling they had wasted their time. The pandemic was a painful and consuming experience for thousands of less fortunate people. But there are stories of those in lockdown who found new hobbies, careers or directions in life. Switching off devices could help people reach the state of boredom which pushes them on to new hobbies or achievements. This research has given us a window to understand how the “always-on”, 24/7 culture and devices that promise an abundance of information and entertainment may be fixing our superficial boredom but are actually preventing us from finding more meaningful things. 12. Why are Walter Benjamin’s words mentioned? A. To call for attention to the research on boredom. B. To comment on strategies to face loneliness. C. To offer suggestions on cultivating creative thinking. D. To clarify problems caused by social media. 13. Which of the following may Dr Timothy Hill agree with? A. Profound boredom is of value. B. Superficial boredom is unavoidable. C. Social media should be restricted. D. Undisturbed thinking is hard to achieve. 14. What does the underlined word “exacerbate” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Define. B. Relieve. C. Ignore. D. Worsen. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Why people enjoy boredom. B. How boredom helps kill time. C. Why boredom might be good for you. D. How social media blocks creative ideas. 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。 Procrastination (拖延) is a common challenge that many people face. ____16____ , it often leads to stress, diminished productivity, and missed deadlines.

Residents did not anticipate such a strong storm, so many were unprepared. In Lucas’ case, the roof of his house broke, and he had to place buckets (水桶) under a large hole to keep the falling snow from filling his home. He worked as a cashier at the local store, and while he wanted to stay home the day after the storm, he needed to fill in for those who couldn’t go to work. There were only a couple of people in the store as it was challenging to cope with deep snow in the streets. They bought a lot of food just in case of more snowstorms. After serving a couple of adults, Lucas came across a boy, about 11 years old, with a cart (推车) full of goods. Once Lucas gave him the total, the boy realized he was two dollars short to meet the payment. “Oh no, I miscalculated the total,” the boy said, looking around the store thinking of what to do. After a couple of seconds, Lucas grew angry. “Well? Are you paying for the goods or not? You’re holding up the line!” he shouted. “I’m sorry. I am two dollars short. I need to take some things out of my cart. Please serve the others first while I sort things out,” the boy explained, walking to the side to let other customers go ahead. Lucas thought the boy was playing tricks on him, especially after checking out so many items from the store. Then he saw the tennis rackets (球拍) fixed to the boy’s feet and this made him curious. Once Lucas had served all the customers, he decided to approach the boy. “Why do you have tennis rackets fixed to your feet?” he asked. “This is the only way I could get through the snow on the way to the store. I live with my old grandmother, and I needed supplies for her and our other neighbours. My neighbours’ house was covered in snow. I wanted to help them,” the boy explained sadly. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Lucas gave the boy two dollars and walked the boy back to his house. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, while wondering how to fix the roof, Lucas suddenly heard a knock on the door. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 六安二中河西校区2025年秋学期高二年级期末考试 英语试卷 时间：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

If I can make just one recommendation to you, it will definitely be A Dream of Red Mansions. Written by Cao Xueqin in Qing dynasty, it is an epic that describes the fall of a large, wealthy family much like the author’s own. It also portrays the beauty of women from all angles and the love between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. I am fascinated by the book because of its vivid language, attractive plot and the historical elements involved in it. In addition, it is of great value in understanding the Chinese traditional cuisine, medicine and architecture. We can talk about it more after you finish reading it. Hope you will enjoy reading it. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 (满分25分) 【47题答案】 【答案】One possible version: Lucas gave the boy two dollars and walked the boy back to his house. After walking in silence for a while, the boy decided to ask Lucas why he was so angry just now. Lucas explained that the snowstorm had ruined his roof, and he had no time or money to fix it. The boy understood that Lucas was simply having a bad day. They got the goods to the boy’s grandmother safe and sound. The boy’s grandma and their neighbours were appreciative when they received the goods. The next day, while wondering how to fix the roof, Lucas suddenly heard a knock on the door. When he opened it, Lucas saw the boy and his neighbours on his doorstep. They entered the house and worked together to fix Lucas’ broken roof. Lucas was touched by the boy and his community’s kindness and generosity. He never realized that his lending the boy a helping hand the day before would lead him to a lifelong connection with strangers who eventually turned into friends. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
