WHY DO WE CELEBRATE FESTIVALS？ 　　Festivals are celebrated all around the world.They have a wide range① of origins②， such as the seasons of the year， religions③， famous figures④， and important events.Every festival has its different customs and unique charms⑤.However，[1] no matter how different they may seem， all over the world， the spirit of sharing joy⑥， gratitude⑦， love， or peace is common in all festivals. 　　Of all the traditional festivals， the harvest⑧ festival can be found in almost every culture.[2]This important agricultural⑨ festival takes place after all the crops⑩ have been gathered⑪ in. People celebrate to show that they are grateful⑫ for the year’s supply of food.In ancient Egypt， the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime — the Egyptian harvest season.It featured⑬ a parade and a great feast with music， dancing， and sports.Today， in some European countries， people decorate⑭ churches⑮ and town halls with flowers and fruit， and get together to celebrate over a meal.During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China， families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes. 　　[1]“no matter＋特殊疑问词”引导让步状语从句，意为“无论……”。 　　[2]句中的after引导时间状语从句，意为“在……之后”。 ①range n.一系列；范围、界限 vi.包括；（在一定范围内）变化 ②origin n.起源；起因；出身 ③religion n.宗教；宗教信仰 ④figure n.人物；数字；身材 vt.认为；认定 ⑤charm n.魅力；迷人的特征；咒语 ⑥joy n.高兴；喜悦 ⑦gratitude n.感激之情；感谢 ⑧harvest n.收获季节；收获；收成 vi.& vt.收割（庄稼）；捕猎（动物、鱼）

　　Customs play a significant⑯ role in festivals， but sometimes they can change over time.With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas， some traditions may fade⑰ away and others may be established.One example is the typical⑱ Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers⑲ to drive away the evil⑳ spirits and celebrate the new year.Nowadays， many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution.[3]Another example is Halloween， which slowly became an exciting festival for children， in spite of its religious origins. 　　[4]Festivals are becoming more and more commercial㉑， with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations.Online shopping websites and social media㉒ apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones.Although some believe festivals should not be commercialised㉓， others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy and public happiness. 　　Festivals are an important part of society.They reflect㉔ people’s wishes， beliefs㉕， faiths㉖， and attitudes towards life.They are occasions㉗ that allow us to relax and enjoy life， and forget about our work for a little while.They help us understand where we came from， who we are， and what to appreciate.And if you study festivals carefully， you may be surprised to find that different cultures actually have a lot in common㉘ after all. 　　[3]句中which引导非限制性定语从句。 　　[4]句中使用了with复合结构，即“with＋宾语＋宾语补足语”；动词-ing短语taking advantage of the celebrations作宾语补足语，用于补充说明宾语businesses的情况。 ⑯ significant adj.有重大意义的；显著的 ⑰ fade vi.& vt.逐渐消失；（使）褪色；

　　在所有的传统节日中，丰收节几乎可见于每一种文化之中。这一重要的农耕节日（一般）会在所有农作物收割完毕后举行。人们举行庆祝活动，对这一年收获的食物表达感恩。在古埃及，人们于春季（即埃及的丰收季）庆祝丰收节。庆祝活动主要是游行和丰盛的筵席，载歌载舞，并伴有体育活动。如今，在一些欧洲国家，人们用鲜花和水果装饰教堂和市政厅，聚在一起共享大餐，以示庆祝。在中国中秋节期间，家家户户欢聚一堂，共赏明月，品尝美味的月饼。 　　风俗在节日中扮演重要角色，但有时也随时间而变化。随着现代社会的发展和新思想的传播，有些传统会渐渐消失，而另一些传统则得以建立。中国春节燃放鞭炮以驱鬼神、贺新年这一典型风俗就是一个例子。如今，为了避免空气污染，许多大城市已经摒弃了这一风俗。另一个例子是万圣节，虽然起源于宗教，但万圣节渐渐成了孩子们纵情玩乐的一个节日。 　　节日正变得越来越商业化，商家会利用这些庆祝活动（进行促销）。购物网站和社交媒体应用程序极大地方便了人们为至亲至爱花更多钱购买礼物。尽管有人认为节日不应该被商业化，但是也有人认为消费增长有利于（提高）经济和公众幸福感。 　　节日是社会的一个重要组成部分。节日反映了人们的愿望、信仰、信念以及对生活的态度。节日是让我们放松心情、享受生活、暂时忘却工作的时刻。节日让我们了解我们来自何方、我们是谁、我们应该感恩什么。此外，如果你仔细研究各种节日，你会惊奇地发现不同的文化实际上有很多相同之处。 Ⅰ.词块默写 1.　admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes

world， the spirit of sharing joy， gratitude， love， or peace is common in all festivals. 然而，无论节日多么迥异，在世界各地，分享快乐、感恩、友爱或和平的精神存在于所有节日之中。 2.Festivals are becoming more and more commercial， 　with businesses

B.Foreigners learning about agrarian culture. C.Chinese farmers in need of good weather conditions. D.Chinese students proud of the long history of our country. 解析：A　推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了中国的传统节日——龙抬头。所以本文最有可能是写给对中国传统文化感兴趣的外国人。 7.What’s the best title for this passage？（　　） A.The History of Dragon Head-raising Day B.The Development of Dragon Head-raising Day C.The Celebration of Dragon Head-raising Day D.The Introduction of Dragon Head-raising Day 解析：D　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了中国的传统节日——龙抬头。文章介绍了节日的起源，节日的风俗习惯等等。因此D项为文章最佳标题。 C 　　（2025·淄博高一检测）Around 20 students from the University of Malta took part in a Chinese tea-tasting event on the campus on Wednesday to add a special flavor to their Chinese-language course. 　　For most students， it was their first time to receive an expert introduction to the rich Chinese tea culture and traditional ways of making tea， with special attention to choosing the right water temperature for Chinese tea. 　　The event was hosted by the Confucius Institute at the University of Malta.The master of the event was Sun Yi， a teacher at the institute.She started the event with a brief introduction to Chinese tea culture， followed by a practical demonstration of handling the different kinds of tea leaves.She described the central role of tea in the daily life of Chinese people and taught students how to pronounce “drink”， “tea” and “good” in Mandarin （普通话）. 　　“I love Chinese tea very much，” said Lexuri Vazquez， a third-year student majoring in international relations.She said she hadn’t really appreciated the difference between black and green tea before.“Thanks to the tea tasting， however， this will change，” she added.She would love to go to China one day to learn about more aspects of Chinese culture in the future. 　　Jackie Theuma， office administrator of the Confucius Institute at the university， said she had tasted different kinds of Chinese tea， as the institute’s director， Ji Nengwen， who is a Chinese， always shared his tea with her and other colleagues.Theuma has been working at the institute for 11 years， and Chinese culture and language have become a part of her life. 　　Sun found the success of the event inspirational.The Confucius Institute holds cultural events as part of its Chinese-language teaching program to give students an opportunity to better understand what they learn in the classroom.“I will spare no efforts to introduce more aspects of Chinese culture through more events to students， and further raise their interest in learning Chinese and understanding Chinese culture，” Sun said. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了来自马耳他大学的约20名学生参加了校园内的中国品茶活动以及他们的感受。 8.The event at the University of Malta was intended to 　　　　.（　　） A.teach students how to make Chinese tea B.test students’ Mandarin language skills C.market the Confucius Institute’s programs D.deepen students’ understanding of Chinese culture 解析：D　细节理解题。根据第二、三段内容可知，在马耳他大学举行的这次活动旨在加深学生对中国文化的了解。 9.How did the event affect Lexuri Vazquez？（　　） A.She became fluent in Mandarin.

B.To celebrate a good harvest. C.To express best wishes. D.To mark seasonal changes. 解析：A　细节理解题。根据第一段 display their amazing radish sculptures和to see the year’s art 可知，举行“萝卜之夜”是为了展示萝卜艺术品。 2.What does paragraph 2 focus on about the Night of the Radishes？（　　） A.Its impact.　 B.Its origin. C.Its meaning.　 D.Its celebrations. 解析：B　段落大意题。根据第二段的Over a hundred years ago、 Over the years和Finally可知，第二段主要讲了“萝卜之夜”这一节日从无到有的发展过程，也就是“起源”。 3.Which belongs to traditional designs of radish sculptures？（　　） A.Mexican president. B.A horse. C.The museum of Oaxaca. D.A flower. 解析：C　推理判断题。根据第三段第二、三句可推知，瓦哈卡州博物馆属于萝卜雕塑的传统图案。 4.What’s the purpose of the text？（　　） A.To draw tourists from cold climates. B.To show the link between art and life. C.To promote Mexican handmade artworks. D.To introduce a special Christmas tradition. 解析：D　写作意图题。根据第一段及下文内容可推知，本文旨在介绍一个特殊的圣诞节传统：墨西哥瓦哈卡州萝卜节——萝卜之夜。 B 　　As the clock strikes midnight this Hogmanay， the streets of Stonehaven will be lit up.The traditional Hogmanay Fireballs event has seen many generations of brave locals swinging “great balls of fire” to welcome the new year. 　　One former participant is local Birnie Lees.Born in Stonehaven’s “Old Town” in 1935， he swung fireballs in the parade for 40 years.As a child， Birnie was allowed to stay up late to watch the event from the windows， but his reasons for becoming involved himself were down to pragmatism （实用主义） as well as love.“There were only about six old guys swinging — I just thought to myself， this could die off，” he says. 　　Birnie and a friend joined the group.In those days， it was a simple event， not attended by the thousands of people of today’s festivities.You may expect some strict training for a performance of this nature， but Birnie sets the record straight. 　　“In the early days we’d just make the fireballs on the night，” he says.“It wasn’t a club or anything， we were just friends who got together.As time went on， we’d all gather at mine and make them.But it’s much more organised these days！” Birnie laughs， “Nowadays， in order to apply， you need to volunteer for three years.It’s grown to become our big event in the town.” 　　With no recorded first appearance of the fireballs， the origins of the event have been “hotly” debated for years.With Stonehaven’s main industry being fishing， many locals believe the cleansing fire was to burn away evil spirits which may influence the year’s catch.Others believe it originated from a Norse ritual （仪式） intended to honour the dead.Birnie presents a more practical explanation.“My father was a fisherman，” he says.“It was a good way to deal with the useless ropes.You’d put them out on Hogmanay and burn them.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章通过Stonehaven居民Birnie Lees的回忆，介绍了Stonehaven新年火球传统的起源、演变及其深厚的意义。 5.Why did Birnie join the Fireballs event 40 years ago？（　　） A.He felt responsible for passing on the family tradition. B.He was worried that the tradition would disappear. C.He was curious to explore new things. D.He wanted to make more friends. 解析：B　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知， Birnie看到当时只有大概六个老人在挥舞火球，他担心这个传统会消失，所以参加了新年火球活动。 6.What can we infer about the Fireballs event in its early days？（　　） A.It was attended by a large number of people. B.It involved official clubs and organisations. C.It was an informal gathering of friends. D.It required volunteers to accept training. 解析：C　推理判断题。根据第四段中Birnie所说的前两句可知，早期的参加者会在晚上聚在一起制作火球。这一活动不是俱乐部组织的。由此可以推断出，早期的新年火球活动是朋友间的非正式聚会。 7.What is discussed in the last paragraph？（　　） A.The meaning of holding the Fireballs event. B.The problems caused by the Fireballs event. C.The popularity of the Fireballs event. D.The origins of the Fireballs event. 解析：D　段落大意题。根据最后一段第一句以及后面对新年火球起源的不同描述可知，最后一段主要讨论了新年火球活动的起源。 8.What is the best title for the text？（　　） A.Playing with Fire B.Fire and Risk C.Lighting up the World D.A Tradition on the Line 解析：A　标题归纳题。文章主要围绕Stonehaven的传统活动Hogmanay Fireballs展开，讲述了活动的情况、曾经参加者的经历以及活动的起源等内容。A项这个标题形象地体现了人们在活动中与“火”相关的行为，能很好地概括文章主要内容，且比较生动有趣，能吸引读者。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 　　（2025·日照高一期末）You’ve just met someone impressive and you even got their phone number — score！ But how on earth do you get a text conversation started with them if you hardly know them？ 9.（　　） And you know how to text someone you just met in a smooth and natural way. 　　Get the ball rolling with cute emojis （表情符号）. 　　An emoji text works best if you send it a few hours after meeting them.Emojis work great because they’re casual， fun， and you don’t have to stress over a perfectly worded text.Send a short string of emojis and go with cute ones like the winking face， kissing face， or heart eyes.Hopefully， they’ll respond with their own string of emojis or simply say “hi”.10.（　　） 　　Bring up something you noticed about them. 　　This is the perfect icebreaker as long as you remember a good detail.11.（　　） If so， comment on it.For example：“I noticed you were wearing a Taylor Swift shirt the other day.I’m a big fan！ What did you think of her newest album？” 　　12.（　　） 　　If it’s been more than 2 days since you met， remind them who you are.Since you exchanged numbers when you met， they probably didn’t forget about you.If some time has passed since your first meeting， though， you may not be super fresh in their mind！ Keep your first text simple by stating who you are， where you met， and mention that you really enjoyed meeting them. 　　Avoid over-bothering them with texts. 　　It can be pretty anxious-making if the person you’ve texted isn’t responding.It’s easy to get nervous and send more texts， just hoping that something will get their attention.13.（　　） They might be busy at work， on vacation， or dealing with a family situation.Give them a day or so to respond.If they never respond， you could follow up or just delete their number and move on.After all， there are other fish in the sea！ A.Either way， you’re in！ B.Stop the desire to do this！ C.Limit how often you text them. D.Check out our list below for tips. E.Be casual and direct if it’s been a while. F.If they do respond， they don’t feel embarrassed. G.Were they wearing a band T-shirt， or carrying a book？ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章通过提出具体建议帮助读者以自然、轻松的方式与对方建立联系，同时避免过度打扰对方。 9.D　根据空前提出的问题，作者接下来将提供具体的建议。D项承上启下。 10.A　空前句与A项构成并列关系，这表明无论对方如何回复，你都能成功地开始对话。 11.G　空后句与G项构成并列关系。 12.E　本空为段落小标题，依据段落第一句及最后一句可知，过了一段时间之后，应该介绍一下自己，但是要简单和直接一些。E项与原文内容一致，建议在短信中保持轻松和直接，符合语境。 13.B　本段的小标题是Avoid over-bothering them with texts.且下文指出如果对方没有回复，很容易让人感到焦虑，从而忍不住发送更多短信。B项与前面构成因果关系，并与后面逻辑一致，符合语境。 Ⅲ.完形填空 　　（2025·郑州高一期末）In a heart-warming incident that highlights the power of human connection， a young girl’s act of kindness saved the life of a struggling homeless man. 　　During a break between classes， Casey Fischer made a 　14　 at Dunkin Donuts for a coffee.It was there that she saw a homeless man 　15　 small change by the roadside.　16　， she watched him walk into Dunkin， counting his change to see what he could 　17　. 　　Casey went over to talk to him and learned that he had only about one dollar in change.Touched by his 　18　 situation， she bought him a 　19　 and a chocolate cake， inviting him to sit with her.He told her that he had lost his family in an accident and how people are usually 　20　 to him because he’s homeless and dirty.They 　21　 for about an hour， drinking their coffees. 　　After realising that Casey needed to 　22　 to class， the man asked her to 　23　 so that he could write something down for her.Handing Casey a piece of old paper with an 　24　 for his shaking handwriting， he smiled and excited. 　　Upon opening the note， Casey read his heartfelt message， “I wanted to end my 　25　 today， but because of you， I now have hope and 　26　.Thank you， beautiful person！” 　　Casey 　27　 on social media later that day that “this lovely man’s name was Chris， and Chris was one of the most 　28　 people I’ve ever met”. 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者给一个流浪汉买了杯咖啡，并与他谈心，这一善举挽救了一名苦苦挣扎的流浪汉的生命的故事。这凸显了人际关系的力量。 14.A.stop　 B.deal C.decision　 D.change 解析：A　根据空后的for a coffee可知，凯西是在邓肯甜甜圈店停下来买咖啡。 15.A.turning to　 B.searching for C.contributing to　 D.begging for 解析：D　根据空前的a homeless man以及空后的small change可知，这个无家可归的人在路边的行为是乞讨零钱。 16.A.Actually　 B.Finally C.Obviously　 D.Particularly 解析：C　凯西看到他走进店里数零钱的动作，很明显看出他是在看自己能买得起什么。 17.A.use　 B.exchange C.afford　 D.repay 解析：C　根据空前的counting his change以及语境可知，他是在看自己的钱能买得起店里的什么东西。 18.A.awkward　 B.dangerous C.anxious　 D.extreme 解析：D　根据上句可知，他只有大约一美元的零钱，处境非常艰难。 extreme能体现他这种极度困难的情况。 19.A.tea　 B.gift C.coffee　 D.ticket 解析：C　根据上段及空后的and a chocolate cake以及段尾的drinking their coffees可知，她给这个男人买的是咖啡。 20.A.friendly　 B.supportive C.strange　 D.unkind 解析：D　根据空后的because he’s homeless and dirty可知，因为他的这种状况，人们对他的态度是不友善的。 21.A.chatted　 B.worked C.tasted　 D.debated 解析：A　根据本段第二句以及空后的drinking their coffees可知，他们坐在一起喝咖啡。所以这里指他们聊了大约一个小时。 22.A.adapt　 B.return C.relate　 D.refer 解析：B　根据第二段第一句中的During a break between classes可知，凯西是在课间休息时出来的。所以这里是她意识到需要回教室了。 23.A.quit　 B.observe C.wait　 D.forgive 解析：C　根据空后的so that he could write something down for her以及语境可知，他让凯西等一下，以便他能给她写点东西。 24.A.alarm　 B.inspiration C.excuse　 D.apology 解析：D　根据空后的for his shaking handwriting可知，这里指他因为自己颤抖的字迹向凯西表示歉意。 25.A.attempt　 B.cheat C.struggle　 D.life 解析：D　根据空后的but because of you， I now have hope可知，他原本的想法和现在因为凯西而有了希望的想法形成对比，结合他无家可归的艰难处境可知，他原本是想结束自己的生命。 26.A.destination　 B.courage C.chance　 D.challenge 解析：B　根据空前的hope可知，应该是他有了继续活下去的勇气。 27.A.commented　 B.focused C.impressed　 D.stressed 解析：A　根据空后的on social media以及语境可知，凯西是在社交媒体上发表了自己的看法。 28.A.graceful　 B.unusual C.honest　 D.hardworking 解析：A　根据第四段第二句、第五段最后一句以及语境可知，克里斯虽然处境艰难，但他的行为和话语都表现出一种素养。凯西对他的评价应该是积极的，认为他是一个优雅的人。 16 / 30 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
