Part 3 Reading (第三部分 阅读) VI. Reading Comprehension (阅读理解) (共40分) (A)Directions: Read the passage and choose the best answer. (共12分，每题2分) Across many cultures, a strange being is said to visit children on a special night to give gifts. But these figures are very different. In the West, Santa Claus, a joyful, wealthy old man in a red suit, flies through the sky on a sleigh pulled by reindeer. He enters homes down the chimney on Christmas Eve to leave presents for good children. His purpose is to spread happiness and the spirit of giving. In Iceland, however, things are a bit more complicated. They don't have just one Santa, but thirteen "Yule Lads." These are not all kind and jolly like Santa. Some of them are quite mischievous! They come down from the mountains, one each night for thirteen nights before Christmas. Children leave their shoes by the window. If they have been good, a Yule Lad leaves a small gift. But if they have been naughty, they might get a rotten potato! Each Lad has a unique purpose: one likes to slam doors, another likes to steal porridge, and one even tries to steal candles. Their mother, Grýla, is a terrifying giantess who is said to boil naughty children in her pot. This is very unlucky for the children who didn't behave. Despite these scary stories, the Yule Lads are now seen as more humorous and festive. The tradition is a deeply cultural one, reminding people of Iceland's unique folklore. Whether it’s the jolly Santa Claus or the trickster Yule Lads, the core purpose of these figures is the same: to mark the festival season, reward good behavior, and bring a sense of magic and excitement to the long, dark winter nights. 1. How does Santa Claus enter a home, according to the passage? A. Through the front door. B. Down the chimney. C. Through an open window. D. By using a magic key. 2. What is the main difference between Santa Claus and the Yule Lads? A. The Yule Lads do not give gifts. B. Santa Claus is a single figure, while there are many Yule Lads with different characters. C. Santa Claus only visits children in Iceland. D. The Yule Lads come on Christmas Eve all at once. 3. What might a naughty child in Iceland receive from a Yule Lad? A. A piece of coal. B. A rotten potato. C. A bowl of porridge. D. A candle. 4. The word "mischievous" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________. A. well-behaved and polite B. kind and generous C. causing trouble in a playful way D. rich and wealthy 5. What is a shared "core purpose" of both Santa Claus and the Yule Lads? A. To scare children into behaving all year. B. To bring magic and excitement to the winter nights. C. To teach children about Iceland's history. D. To steal porridge and slam doors. 6. From the passage, what can we infer about the Icelandic Yule Lads? A. They are now considered more funny and festive than in the past. B. They are exactly the same as Santa Claus. C. They only visit wealthy families. D. They have all passed away and are just legends. (B) Cloze Test (完型填空) (共14分，每题2分) Directions: Choose the best word to complete the passage.

A primary school in London has started a unique project called "Edible Playgrounds." The purpose of this idea is to teach children about the journey of food from seed to plate. The school transformed a grey, concrete playground into a beautiful garden full of vegetables, fruits, and edible flowers. Here, children across all grades can come to plant seeds, water them, and learn about the harvest cycle. The project is deeply connected to cultural learning. Students from Indian backgrounds have taught others how to plant coriander and okra, which are common in their traditional curries. Chinese students have shared their knowledge of growing bok choy and garlic chives, essential for dishes like spring rolls and dumplings. It has become a place where food traditions are not just talked about but actually experienced. The act of growing the food has given the children a new feeling of respect for their own culture and others'. Teachers say the project has been a great success. "Before, children would just see a carrot on their plate. Now, they understand the whole process. They know what good soil looks and smells like, how long it takes for a seed to germinate, and the hard work involved in a good harvest," one teacher explained. "This hands-on experience is much more valuable than just reading a textbook. It’s a life lesson, and it brings our diverse community closer together through a shared purpose." 1. What was the playground transformed into? _______________________________________________________________________________ 2. What cultural knowledge did Chinese students share in the project? _______________________________________________________________________________ 3. Why does the teacher think this project is more valuable than reading a textbook? _______________________________________________________________________________ 4. How does the project help the school community, according to the last sentence? _______________________________________________________________________________ Part 4 Writing (第四部分 写作) VII.

Today, I want to share a tradition from Mexico called "Día de los Muertos," or the Day of the Dead. It’s a festival across cultures that celebrates the lives of family members who have passed away. Unlike our sad view of death, this tradition is full of color, music, and joy. Families build beautiful altars with flowers, candles, and photos of the deceased. They also put out the favorite foods of their loved ones. The purpose is to welcome their spirits back for a brief, happy visit. This tradition teaches us that love and memory are the true wealth of life. My hope is that we can all learn from this tradition to remember our ancestors with joy, not just sadness.
