A
As an old saying in China goes, “The days of the Sanjiu period are the coldest days.” “Sanjiu period”, which falls during Minor Cold, refers to the third nine-day period (the 19th to the 27th day) after the day of the Winter Solstice (冬至). There are many different customs related to Minor Cold in China.
Eating hotpot
During Minor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend against the cold weather. Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton with soy sauce. But it is important to notice that too much spicy food may cause health problems.
Eating huangyacai
In Tianjin, there is a custom to have huangyacai, a kind of Chinese cabbage, during Minor Cold. There are large amounts of vitamins A and B in huangyacai. As huangyacai is fresh and tender, it is fit for frying, roasting and braising.
Eating glutinous rice (糯米饭)
According to tradition, the Cantonese eat glutinous rice in the morning during Minor Cold. Cantonese people add some fried preserved pork, sausages and peanuts and mix them into the rice.
Eating vegetable rice
In ancient times, people in Nanjing took Minor Cold quite seriously, but as time went by, the celebration of Minor Cold gradually disappeared. However, the custom of eating vegetable rice is still followed today. The rice is steamed and is unspeakably delicious. Among the ingredients (原料), aijiaohuang (a kind of green vegetable), sausages and salted duck are the specialties in Nanjing.

In every corner of the world, local festivals are a vibrant expression of a community's identity, history, and values. These celebrations are not just about having a good time; they are a way to pass down traditions from one generation to the next and strengthen the connection within a community.
Take the La Tomatina festival in Bunol, Spain, for example. Every August, thousands of people gather in the town square. At the signal, they start throwing tomatoes at each other, creating a sea of red pulp and juice. What seems like a simple and messy tomato fight is actually a deeply-rooted tradition. It dates back to the mid-1940s, though the exact origin story is a bit of a mystery. Some say it started as an unplanned and unexpected fight that broke out during a local event, while others believe it was a way for young people to fight against the established order. Over the years, it has become a major tourist attraction, but for the locals, it remains a valuable part of their heritage.
Then there is the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival in China. Held in the city of Harbin during the coldest months of winter, this festival features magnificent ice sculptures (雕塑). Artists from all over the world come to show their skills, carving intricate designs into huge blocks of ice. The sculptures range from famous landmarks to mythical creatures. The festival not only provides an opportunity for artistic expression but also promotes the local economy. Tourists crowd to Harbin to admire the sculptures, stay in local hotels, and sample the local cuisine.
These local festivals, with their unique customs and stories, add color and richness to our global cultural tapestry. They remind us of the variety of human experiences and the importance of preserving our traditions.

You don't have to be a fan of math to get excited about Pi (“π”) Day. While the event, which is also Albert Einstein's birthday, may start with some calculations (运算), it is more than likely to end up with a slice (片) or two of delicious pie. The holiday is held every March 14, because “π” is widely recognized as 3.14.
The tradition of honoring “π” began at San Francisco's Exploratorium Museum. On March 14, 1988, physicist Larry Shaw convinced his colleagues to mark the day by marching around one of the museum's circular spaces and eating fruit pies. The celebration was made official in 2009 when the US House of Representatives set aside March 14 as Pi Day.
Today, Pi Day is observed in many creative ways.
Students at the California Institute of Technology in Los Angeles host a pie-eating event, which begins at 1:59 a.m. and features 26 pies, each of five different flavors of the popular dessert. Though that might seem random (随意的), the date (3.14), time (159), number of pies (26), and number of varieties (5) recreate (再现) the first nine digits of Pi: 3. 14159265!
Students applying for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston eagerly wait for the day every year to find out if they have been accepted. However, instead of sending out the offers at 3:14 p.m., the institution waits till 6:28 p.m. 6.28 is called Tau, which is Pi multiplied (乘) by 2. The number is believed to be much more reliable than Pi by some experts and even has its own celebration on June 28. Since 2017, MIT has also used Pi Day as a fundraiser to support its students, departments and programs.
The town of Princeton, New Jersey, where Einstein lived from 1935 until his death in 1955, celebrates the occasion with multi-day festivities that end on March 14. Visitors can participate in concerts, shows, as well as pie-eating, pi-recitation (背诵), and Einstein-lookalike contests.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“π”日的由来以及庆祝圆周率的方式。
8.Where was Pi Day originally celebrated?

10.What does MIT do on Pi Day according to the text?
A.Set a calculating test.

Every festival has its own meaning.Labour Day, for example, celebrates the value of hard work. But somehow it now seems that while celebrating all festivals we just care about one thing — shopping. And that can be a big problem.
“In a way, over-consumption (过度消费) is the mother of all our environmental problems,” Kalle Lasn once told CNN. Lasn is the organizer of Buy Nothing Day, a day set up in Canada in 1992 to fight against unhealthy spending habits, and has now become an international event. It's held on the day, which is known as Black Friday — a famous shopping day in the US and Canada.
You can see something strange here.
Even though the idea of Buy Nothing Day was brought up 33 years ago, we seem to need it now more than ever. It's just as Lasn said: all the different kinds of dilemmas (困境) in our lives today — bad air quality, the reduction of forest area, endangered animal species, and plastic bags found in the ocean — seem to have the same cause: over-consumption.
The latest example is the Singles' Day shopping craze (狂热) on Nov.11, which saw a new sales record.But as Nie Li, an organizer at Greenpeace, told Reuters, “Record-setting over-consumption means record-setting waste.” And it was reported that last year the Singles' Day packages left more than 160,000 tons of waste, including plastic and cardboard. The Collins dictionary has also just named “single-use” its Word of the Year, pointing out the problem that there're too many things we throw away after only using them once.
So, Buy Nothing Day might only be here for one day a year, but it's not just to remind us about a break from shopping on that day, but to change our lifestyle completely, focusing on fun “with people we care about” rather than wasting money on useless things.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Buy Nothing Day以及它的设立对人类的意义:不要把钱浪费在无用的东西上。
12.What's the author's purpose of writing the first paragraph?
A.To express people's love for all festivals.
B.To talk about the meaning of the festivals.
C.To appreciate the value of hard work.
D.To introduce the topic of the passage.
解析:选D 写作意图题。本段先举例说明每个节日都有它自己的意义,又说现在每个节日似乎都和购物有关,而购物可能会造成大问题,从而引出主题及下文内容。故第一段的作用是引出文章主题。故选D。
13.Why did Kalle Lasn organize Buy Nothing Day?
A.To help people save money.
B.To cut the cost for daily life.
C.To prevent over-consumption.
D.To set up a new sales record.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第二段前两句可知,Lasn认为过度消费是所有环境问题的根源,他设立Buy Nothing Day旨在呼吁人们摒弃不健康的消费习惯。由此可见,Lasn设立此节日的目的是防止过度消费。故选C。
14.What's Nie Li's attitude towards the shopping craze?
A.Opposed. B.Supportive.
C.Unknown. D.Neutral.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Record-setting over-consumption means record-setting waste.”可知,Nie Li认为创纪录的过度消费意味着创纪录的浪费,即他对购物狂潮(the shopping craze)持反对态度。故选A。
15.What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A.A New Lifestyle
B.Buy Nothing Day
C.A Change in People's Life
D.Festivals Around the World
解析:选B 标题归纳题。文章内容围绕Buy Nothing Day展开,并介绍节日的意义所在,故用Buy Nothing Day作标题最合适。故选B。
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。
In a world that often feels like a never-ending race, celebrating gives your mind and body a much-needed break and has real health benefits. Here's how celebrations can make your life healthier and happier.
__16__
Celebrations bring people together. They create moments of shared joy and a sense of belonging that strengthens close connections. Having a dependable network of people in your corner doesn't just feel good. It reduces stress and keeps people healthy in body and mind. __17__ And a little joy goes a long way in building a stronger, healthier, and more connected life.
Celebrating helps you feel motivated.
You might not think partying helps you get things done. But, as it turns out, taking the time to celebrate does actually increase your motivation to achieve your goals. Acknowledging your wins, even small ones, causes the brain to produce dopamine (多巴胺), which makes you want to repeat that same behavior. Set small goals and celebrate them along the way. __18__
Celebrating improves confidence.
Celebrating your wins-big or small — does more than just make you feel good in the moment.__19__ It gives you a sense of personal value and ability. Taking time to reflect on those moments reminds you of your strength and determination. It's like saying to yourself “Look what I've done” and “I can do even more”. Each win becomes a stepping stone toward the next big goal.
Celebrating spreads positivity.
__20__ When you gather people to laugh, dance, and share love, you create something bigger than the event itself. It's a reminder to let go of worries, even if only for a little while. This kind of joy can be spread. When you celebrate, you're not just lifting your own spirits; you're inspiring others to feel lighter, happier, and more connected.
A.Celebrating helps build connections.
B.You'll be upset if you can't do those.
C.Celebrating helps bring you happiness.
D.It's a powerful way to make you confident.
E.Each gathering helps strengthen relationships.
F.Celebrations create the energy of joy and positivity.
G.You'll get that pleasant dopamine that'll keep you moving forward.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在快节奏生活中,庆祝能带来诸多健康益处,如增强联系、激发动力、提升自信、传播积极情绪。
16.选A 由下文“Celebrations bring people together. They create moments of shared joy and a sense of belonging that strengthens close connections.”可知,该段围绕“庆祝活动促进人际联结”展开,而A项“Celebrating helps build connections.”直接概括段落核心,且build connections与下文strengthens close connections形成呼应。
17.选E 由上文“Celebrations bring people together. They create moments of shared joy and a sense of belonging that strengthens close connections.”可知,该段强调庆祝活动对人际关系的强化作用。空格前一句也提到“可靠的人际网络能减轻压力、有益身心健康”,E项“Each gathering helps strengthen relationships.”中的strengthen relationships与上文strengthens close connections直接呼应,进一步说明聚会(即庆祝活动)对关系的巩固作用,且与段落主题“建立联系”一致。
18.选G 由上文“Acknowledging your wins, even small ones, causes the brain to produce dopamine, which makes you want to repeat that same behavior.”可知,该句解释了“庆祝小目标”与“多巴胺分泌”的关系,G项“You'll get that pleasant dopamine that'll keep you moving forward.”直接承接dopamine这一关键词,说明其对动力的推动作用,符合因果逻辑。
19.选D 由上文“Celebrating your wins-big or small-does more than just make you feel good in the moment.”可知,空处需说明庆祝的更深层作用,D项“It's a powerful way to make you confident.”与段落标题“Celebrating improves confidence.”呼应,且it指代“庆祝成就”。
20.选F 由段落标题“Celebrating spreads positivity.”及下文“When you gather people to laugh, dance, and share love, you create something bigger than the event itself.”可知,空格处需点明“庆祝”与“积极情绪”的直接关联,F项“Celebrations create the energy of joy and positivity.”既呼应标题中的positivity,又通过create energy引出下文“创造更大的意义”,逻辑连贯。

During the Grain Buds period, the summer harvest is about 37. __________ (begin). Due to the significant increase in rainfall, rivers are filled with water, 38.__________ (make) fish and shrimp big and fat. This is a great time to enjoy fish and shrimp.

Understanding the solar term of Grain Buds can help us better appreciate the 45.__________ (wise) and traditions of our ancestors.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了小满这一节气。
36.ends 考查时态和主谓一致。句子陈述客观事实,用一般现在时态;主语Grain Buds是第三人称单数,谓语动词用单数形式。故填ends。
37.to begin 考查非谓语动词。be about to do是固定用法,表示“即将做某事”,所以此处用动词不定式形式。故填to begin。
38.making 考查非谓语动词。“________ (make) fish and shrimp big and fat”作结果状语,空处是非谓语动词,与前面整个句子存在逻辑上的主动关系,用现在分词表主动。故填making。
39.significantly 考查副词。空处修饰形容词important,用副词significantly(非常,显著地)作状语。故填significantly。
40.It 考查代词。“It is+adj.+ to do ...”为固定句型,该句型中it是形式主语,不定式作真正的主语;句中“to exercise to keep healthy”是真正的主语,用it作形式主语;且空处位于句首,单词首字母应大写。故填It。
41.a 考查冠词。period是可数名词单数,此处表示泛指“一个好时期”,且good是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
42.be done 考查语态。do是主句谓语动词,与主语Weeding之间是被动关系,且should是情态动词。故填be done。
43.as 考查介词。regard ...as ...是固定搭配,意为“把……视为……”。故填as。
44.who 考查定语从句。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Those,指人,关系词在从句中作主语,应使用关系代词who引导。故填who。
45.wisdom 考查名词。根据句意可知,空处与名词traditions并列作宾语,用名词wisdom,为不可数名词。故填wisdom。

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。
“What's wrong with you, dear?” said Granny Bell to a little boy, who sat near a wall at the back of the house. He had a book in his hand, and tears were in his eyes.
“We have all got a poem called Little Jim to learn,” said the boy, whose name was Tom Blair, “and the one who says it best is to get a prize from the master. But I don't think I can learn it.”
“Why not?” said Granny Bell.
“Other boys say that I can't, and that I need not try.” said Tom in a sad tone.
“Don't mind what other boys say. Let them see that you can learn it,” said his friend.
“But I don't think I can,” said Tom, “it is so long, and some of the words are so hard. I know I need not try for the prize. But I would like to learn the poem as well as I can; for other boys laugh at me, and call me ‘Slow Tom’.”
“Well, dear,” said Granny Bell, in a kind voice, “if you are slow, and can't help it, try to be ‘slow and sure’, as they say. Look at the snail on the wall; how slow it is! And yet, if you watch it, you will see it will get to the top in time. So just try to learn a few lines each day, and you may gain the prize in the end. And when you feel like losing heart, think of the snail on the wall.”
When Granny Bell had said this, she went on her way. And Tom thought that, though he could not keep up with the boys, he might run a race with the snail. So he decided to try to learn his task by the time the snail got to the top of the wall.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式作答。
At last, the day came on which the master was to give the prize, and after he called up five or six boys to repeat the poem, it came to Tom's turn.
“Well done! Tom! Well done! Tell me how you made it!” said the master with great joy.
参考范文:
At last, the day came on which the master was to give the prize, and after he called up five or six boys to repeat the poem, it came to Tom's turn. Tom got up slowly but in a confident way. He looked so silent and still. Then, there was a laugh from other boys in the classroom, because most of the boys thought that he would fail. However, he repeated the poem so fluently that all his classmates were astonished at last.
“Well done! Tom! Well done! Tell me how you made it!” said the master with great joy. “Please, sir, it was the snail on the wall that taught me how to do it,” said Tom, “I saw it crawl up the wall bit by bit. It did not stop, nor turn back, but went on and on. And I thought I would do the same with my task. So I just learned it bit by bit, and did not give up.” “Now, boys, let us give good cheer for Tom Blair and the snail on the wall,” said the master. And the classroom rang with a loud, long cheer, for all were glad that “Slow Tom” had got the prize at last.
