This colorful act symbolizes the victory of good over evil (邪恶) each year. It begins with a bonfire (篝火) , the flame of which burns away evil, and after that, the participants are in for some real fun. Crowds of people sprinkle (酒) each other with colored powder and organic paints as a sign of goodness and good luck. Venice Carnival in Italy The most romantic city in Italy fills with bright colors and sounds of music every year at the end of February. Residents and guests of Venice dress up in splendid costumes in the style of the Middle Ages and cover their faces with masks. The carnival ends with the awarding of the competitors who have showed the most original and colorful costumes. Tomorrowland in Belgium The biggest electronic music festival in the world is held at the end of July in the Belgian city of Boom. The famous three-day event annually gathers more than 300 thousand guests. The main stages are set up in a large park with artificial ponds and beautiful green areas. The area will be equipped in advance with food courts, grills, and all the necessary equipment. Burning Man in the USA Many cultural events pale in comparison to the legendary Burning Man, held in Nevada from the last Monday in August to the first Monday in September. The unique atmosphere is created not only by the organizers and the desert where the festival takes place but also by the participants themselves. They build a tent city with homemade art objects and the necessary equipment. The highlight of the festival is the burning of a huge wooden statue of a man and the main temple. 1. Which festival is held in late February and early March? A. Holi Festival. B. Venice Carnival. C. Tomorrowland. D. Burning Man. 2. What does Venice Carnival in Italy end with? A. A bonfire. B. A food feast. C. The awarding of the competitors. D. The burning of a huge wooden man. 3. Where is Burning Man held? A. Near a pond. B. In a desert. C. In a large park. D. Along the city street. B Almost everyone who has studied English has been warned about the way Brits love their manners. It is part of our national identity, as much as fish and chips or complaining about the weather. Recently I have been wondering where this comes from and I read online that we say sorry up to eight times a day. Probably the same amount of times that any other person says “hello” or “how are you”. It is almost like greetings to us! It was only when I was explaining how there are five steps of saying thank you when you buy something from a shop to a Mexican friend of mine that I realised how mad it sounded. After some research online I have not been able to find any specific reasons why we are the way we are. I suppose for centuries manners and how we eat at the table and talk to other people have been the barriers between the lower and upper classes and represent your social status. Britain has traditionally been a quite conservative country. There are many articles suggesting that this seemingly polite attitude of always saying please and thank you is quite false because it is impossible to always feel that you want to thank someone or say please. Maybe it is for this reason that people are going one of two ways: they are incredibly polite and hold back on their feelings or not polite at all, and express their true feelings. Some Brits are fed up of pretending that they are always content and having to please people. Sometimes because we feel we have to be polite, we are prevented from saying what we truly think. Do you think it is better to not hurt people’s feelings and be polite or to let people know the truth? In your country what is the custom? I know in some countries if someone is considered to be doing their job, the clients think that they do not need to be thanked. 4. What does the author think of the British way of saying “Thank you”? A. Normal. B. Surprising. C. Exciting. D. Pleasing. 5. What does the author want to find out? A. Why the British like to complain about the weather. B. Why the British love their way of showing manners. C. Why the British are fond of fish and chips so much. D. Why the British have five steps of saying thank you. 6. What does the author think manners stand for centuries? A. Wealth and health. B. Social status. C. Politeness. D. Attitudes. 7. Why do Brits feel sometimes they have to be polite? A. They want to express their true feelings. B. They want to let people know the truth. C. They are kept from saying what they think. D. They want to represent their social status. C An 85-year-old hugged a younger woman she hadn’t seen for months, and she chanted (吟唱) some questions in the special routine of her ancestors in Burundi, “How are you? How is your husband? How are the kids?” Namukobwa paused to permit the younger woman Nzeyimana to answer. Nzeyimana, the visiting daughter of a former neighbour, replied over and over in the local Kirundi language. A group of neighbours watched in amazement. Many were seeing their first performance of the traditional form of musical greeting, known to Burundians as akazehe. It is performed only by women on a range of occasions. However, akazehe is disappearing, despite its unique status (地位) in this central African country. That’s according to cultural officials, teachers and others who say it is worth preserving. They mentioned the threat from public health measures that discourage unnecessary contact during disease outbreaks, in addition to the perceived failure to promote akazehe among school-going youth. A custom such as akazehe should be preserved because of its role in protecting families, said Nikobiba, an anthropologist (人类学家) in Bujumbura. Among communities that practise it, women could tell elder women about any problems at home. Nikobiba explained, “Normally, before starting a home in traditional Burundi, the girl would first receive advice from her father’s sister. She would tell the girl, ‘I will come to greet you after a certain time.’” Such support from elders would help them develop better mental health for the young family, he added. Ntakirutimana was among the women who gathered to watch Namukobwa greeting Nzeyimana. She said she grew up in a farming community where no mother could perform akazehe. After watching, she wanted to learn akazehe herself. “I feel better,” Ntakirutimana said, “and I saw it was good.” 8. What was Namukobwa doing according to paragraph 1? A. Practising a song. B. Sharing a story. C. Teaching a language. D. Performing a custom. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The status of akazehe in Burundi. B. The difficulty in promoting akazehe. C. The reasons for the decline of akazehe. D. The impact of akazehe on public health. 10. Nikobiba thinks that the role of akazehe lies in ___________. A. building an active community B. maintaining traditional customs C. bringing comfort to elders in a family D. providing psychological support for women 11. Why does the writer mention Ntakirutimana in the last paragraph? A. To praise the politeness of Burundians. B. To show the influence of cultural practices. C. To stress the importance of careful observation. D. To indicate the necessity of learning how to greet. D Tiaohua Festival is a main festival of the Miao people in Guizhou Province, China. It originates from Anshum City in Guizhou Province and has gradually developed into a comprehensive (综合的) yearly event. Tiaohua Festival is usually held during the first lunar month. To determine the exact dates of the festival, organizers have to take many things into consideration like the Chinese lunar calendar, lucky animal days (e.g. the tiger and dragon are powerful, but snake and pig days need to be avoided at all costs), and lucky numbers (e.g. 8 means wealth but 4 means death). Organizers also need to make sure the dates don’t fall on the festival days of other communities. In this way, people from nearby villages can attend the festival. Singing and dancing are the main activities of Tiaohua Festival. During the festival, the Miao people dress up in their traditional clothes and silver accessories (配饰) and celebrate the festival in memory of the heroes in their history. Yet, the most important part of the festival is the chance for young people to meet possible marriage partners — men play the musical instruments and women dance to the music in the flower area. If a man plays well, he will not only be praised by listeners but also win the appreciation from the girls. Nowadays, the festival has become a celebration event for the young to visit their parents. Other activities include competitions of climbing a flower-decorated pole, needling crafts and wushu. Each year, Tiaohua Festival attracts international tourists from all over the world. “We’re really amazed by the rich cultural scenes(场面)and the local people who are very welcoming,” a foreigner named Charlie says excitedly. 12. What do we know about the dates of Tiaohua Festival? A. They are not fixed. B. They are set by nearby villagers. C. They are often at the end of a year. D. They are different from the ancient times. 13. What can be inferred about Tiaohua Festival from Paragraph 3? A. It is attended by many musicians. B. It is celebrated for different purposes. C. It gradually develops into competitions. D. It is the most important to the Miao people. 14. Why is a foreigner mentioned in the text? A. To show the great scenes of the festival. B. To show humans share the same cultures. C. To show Tiaohua Festival attracts worldwide attention. D. To show Tiaohua Festival is popular in other countries. 15. In which part of a newspaper can we read this text? A. Lifestyle. B. Nature. C. Business. D. Culture. 第二节 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 As I stepped off the plane in Yunnan, I was about to begin an unforgettable experience: the Water-Splashing Festival.

While on the road, I remembered that I did not have any money in my pocket. I did not even take my cell phone with me to make a call home. At the same time, I went through a noodle shop, and I suddenly felt very hungry. I wished for a bowl of noodles, but I had no money! The seller saw me standing before the counter and asked, “Hey little girl, you want to eat a bowl? “But… but I do not carry money…” I shyly replied. “Okay, I’ll treat you.” the seller said, “come in, I will cook you a bowl.” A few minutes later the owner brought me a steaming bowl of noodles. After eating some pieces, I cried. “What is it?” He asked. “Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness!” I said as I wiped my tears. “Even a stranger on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, and my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the house. She is cruel (残忍的) !” The seller sighed, “Girl, why did you think so? Think again. I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you felt that way. Your mother has been taking care of you since you were little, why were you not grateful and why did you hurt your mom? You should say sorry to your mom.” I was really surprised after hearing that. Why did not I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel grateful, and my mother has raised me since I was little and I have never felt so, not even a little. Just at that moment, many memories came back into my mind. When I was ill, she was always the one taking care of me. When I had trouble with my study, she never lost faith in me and encouraged me to keep going. When I arrived home during the weekend, she always prepared my favorite food. All her kindness came back to me. I should be grateful for all she had done for me. I realized I should go back home immediately and say sorry to my mother. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为80左右； 2. 续写部分开头语已为你写好。 When arriving home, I saw my mother sitting at the dinner table, worried and tired. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 河溪中学2025-2026学年度第二学期期中考试 高一英语科试卷 (本试卷共四部分，共8页，满分130分。考试时间120分钟) 第一部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 四篇阅读 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A 【1~3题答案】 【答案】1.

Besides, we lit our hand-made lanterns and released them into the sky, watching them float away like tiny stars against the backdrop of the brilliant moon. It was a magical moment that reflected the spirit of the festival — unity, hope, and the beauty of togetherness. This celebration not only strengthened our friendship but also left me with a heart full of wonderful memories and a greater appreciation for the diversity and beauty of cultural traditions around the world. 第二节 (满分15分) 【67题答案】 【答案】 When arriving home, I saw my mother sitting at the dinner table, worried and tired.

Please forgive me.” I whispered to her through tears, extremely ashamed of myself. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $河溪中学2025-2026学年度第二学期期中考试 高一英语科答题卷 选择题 非选择题 题型 总分 分数 装 注意事项： 1.答题前考生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔填写学校、姓名和考生号。 2.用2B铅笔填涂信息点，信息点框内必须途满、涂黑，否则无效；修改时须用橡皮擦干净。 3.作答时注意题号顺序，不得擅自更改题号。 4.保持卡面清洁，不要折叠和弄破。 务必涂上考生号！ 考生号： @®⊙回 @▣⊙▣⑧⑧⑧ @▣⊙⊙ 2 @▣⊙⊙ @▣⊙▣⑧⑧⑧ @@⊙⊙ 3 @▣⊙回 ⊙®⊙回⑧⑧⑧ 2,@®⊙⊙ 4@回⊙回 ⊙®⊙⊙⊙⊙⊙ @®⊙回 o 6 ⊙▣⊙回 ⊙®⊙回⊙⊙⊙⊙▣⊙回 7 选 择 @®⊙⊙@▣⊙⊙⑧⊙⊙@@⊙⊙ 8) ⑧ 题 ,@®⊙回 @®⊙回①⊙⊙1@®⊙回 题 @▣⊙回@®⊙回©⊙⊙@▣⊙回 注意！考生号：由“3位数的 ⊙▣⊙回@▣⊙回⑧⑧⑧ ⊙®⊙⊙ 班级号+2位数的座位号”组 成，并请用黑色笔涂卡，如 @®⊙回 ▣▣⊙回⑧☒⑧ 4@▣⊙⊙ 高一(1)班1号填10101； u@®⊙回 @▣▣回☒☒☒ 5@®⊙回 选择题区域用2B铅笔涂卡。 @®⊙⊙ 4@▣⊙回☒☒☒ 第二部分语言运用 第二节语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 部 36. 37 38 39 40 41. 42 43 44 45 1 第三部分第一节词汇基础（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 46. 47 48 49 50. 51. 52. 53. 54 55. 第二节单句填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62 63. 64. 65. 第四部分第一节（满分15分） My Experience 第二节（满分15分） When arriving home,I saw my mother sitting at the dinner table,worried and tired.
