Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2025·威海高一检测)Down in Oaxaca, Mexico, there is a special festival on 23 December called la Noche de Rábanos, or the Night of the Radishes (萝卜之夜).Every year, people from all over the state display their amazing radish sculptures.Both Oaxacans and tourists wait excitedly for the 23rd, and line up starting in the afternoon to see the year’s art.
Over a hundred years ago, there was a market held on 23 December called la Vigila de Navidad.It was a special Christmas market for people to buy ingredients, decorations, and so on.Vendors (摊贩) at this market would carve radishes to decorate their stalls.The carved radishes became very popular, and people started to buy them as Christmas decorations.Over the years, it is said, the vendors would compete to see who could make the best sculptures.Finally the tradition has become today’s yearly festival which draws tourists from all over the world.
The radishes used in the festival are bigger than normal (up to 3 kg), and are harvested just a week beforehand.There are two types of sculptures: traditional designs and “free” designs.The traditional designs include Christmas scenes or designs related to Oaxaca.Free designs can be anything, but sometimes include famous people and animals.There are also two other types of plant sculptures, one made from flowers, another made from cornhusks.
As you walk through the rows of radish art, you’ll hear live music, and you can even see fireworks at the end.Close by there is delicious street food, Christmas markets, and many galleries and stores, all decorated with lights.
For people wanting to travel for Christmas, Oaxaca is an excellent place to visit.There are lots of different events along with the Night of the Radishes.The weather in December is usually warm (20 ℃ on average), and the sky is often sunny and cloudless.It’s a perfect vacation place for people coming from wintery climates.

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.”
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.

C.It was an informal gathering of friends. D.It required volunteers to accept training.
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.
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
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?

Ⅰ.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了墨西哥瓦哈卡州萝卜之夜的起源和节日盛况。
1.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.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.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.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。
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.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.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.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.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。

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.
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。

17.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。

19.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.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。

26.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 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 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。
