Last year’s memory is still fresh in my mind. I pushed the door open and rushed into the yard—Grandma ___1___ the old wooden scale under the osmanthus tree, wiping it with a dry cloth. “Hurry up, ___2___ we’ll miss the best time to weigh everyone before lunch!” Grandma shouted. My little cousin Ah Ming didn’t give ___3___ any attention, sitting on the stone bench playing with a grasshopper. I sighed, remembering that I ___4___ tell him when he was 5 that weighing on Winter Solstice meant “growing heavier and healthier”. But he was too young to understand last year, and he ___5___ even stand still on the stool then. While Grandma ___6___ the sticky rice flour with warm water, Dad was lighting the stove. We took turns to knead the dough as ___7___ as we could, trying to make it soft. Seeing Ah Ming finally put his grasshopper down and come over, I asked, “Want to try?” He nodded with ___8___ unsure smile. It took us nearly forty minutes ___9___ the dough into small balls. ___10___ we tried to make them round, some still came out flat, and the yard was filled ___11___ laughter. After the tangyuan ___12___, Grandma boiled them and put a spoonful of osmanthus honey in each bowl. “Tastes much ___13___ than last year!” Ah Ming bit into one, sugar powder sticking to his cheek. Looking at the little notes Grandma stuck on the wall, recording every year’s weight, I realised this was the warmest part of our family tradition. “___14___ warm family tradition we have!” I whispered to myself, glad that my cousin finally understood the joy of ___15___ tangyuan together. 1.

Every Friday after dinner, we sit around the fireplace, each holding a book we like, and share our favourite paragraphs. It seems ordinary now, but it took me years to understand its value. When I was in primary school, I ___16_____ this tradition — I thought it was boring to sit still for an hour, and I’d rather play video games in my room. My grandpa, who started this club 30 years ago, would always pat my head and say, “Good things take time, kid. You’ll get it when you’re older.” One rainy Friday when I was 13, I had a huge argument with my best friend and didn’t want to talk to anyone. I slumped (瘫坐) on the sofa, ready to make an ___17_____ to skip the reading club. Grandpa didn’t push me, just handed me an old copy of The Little Prince and sat down next to me. “Just listen for 10 minutes, okay?” I sighed and ___18_____ the book. Grandpa started reading the part about the fox and the “unique (独一无二的)” rose. His voice was rough but gentle, and for the first time, I actually listened. When he finished, he asked, “Do you have something unique in your life that you want to protect?” I thought of my friend, and the fight we had that afternoon, and suddenly I felt tears welling up. I told him everything, and he didn’t give advice right away, just said, “The fox spent time with the rose, so it became unique to him. Maybe you need to spend a little more time understanding your friend, too.” That night, I ___19_____ Grandpa’s words. I called my friend and apologised, and we made up before the weekend. Since then, I’ve never skipped a Friday reading club. Last year, Grandpa passed away, ___20_____ we kept the tradition going. Now I’m the one who picks the book for the little kids in the family, and I always choose The Little Prince first — the copy Grandpa used to read, its cover faded and its pages soft from years of turning. “Tradition doesn’t have to be ___21_____ to be meaningful,” I told my little cousin last Friday, watching her trace the handwritten notes Grandpa left on the margins (页边). “It’s the small, repeated things that tie us together, even when the person who started it isn’t here anymore.” My cousin nodded, and started reading the first page aloud, her voice soft, just like Grandpa’s. I realised then that traditions don’t die — they just get ___22_____, one reader at a time. The person ___23_____ started this club will always be in our hearts. I watched my cousin ___24_____ the first page carefully, and felt Grandpa’s warmth wrapping around all of ___25_____. 16． A．loved B．hated C．enjoyed D．celebrated 17．A．excuse B．effort C．offer D．order 18． A．closed B．opened C．broke D．folded 19． A．forgot B．doubted C．remembered D．hated 20． A．Although B．But C．So D．Because 21． A．cheap B．expensive C．fancy D．broken 22． A．give up B．pass down C．take off D．put away 23． A．what B．who C．which D．whose 24． A．read B．reading C．to read D．reads 25． A．our B．us C．ours D．ourselves 三、阅读理解（共两节，满分35分） 第一节 阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分） A Last Sunday, my 7-year-old daughter Lila asked me, “Mom, why do we always make pizza on Sundays? Can’t we order takeout for once?” I smiled, kneading the dough (揉面团) just like my mom taught me 20 years ago. “Because it’s not just about the pizza, kiddo. It’s a tradition.” My mom started the “Sunday Pizza Night” when I was Lila’s age. Back then, we didn’t have much money, and ordering pizza was a luxury (奢侈品). So Mom bought a second-hand pizza stone, and every Sunday, we’d make our own: Dad chopped vegetables, I grated cheese, and Mom rolled the dough. We’d fight over who got to put the pineapple on (yes, we’re a pineapple-on-pizza family, fight me), and we’d eat in front of the TV, watching old cartoons. It wasn’t fancy, but it was the best part of my week. When I moved out for college, I’d come home every Sunday just for the pizza. When Mom got sick three years ago, I took over the dough-rolling part. We still fought over the pineapple, even when she was too weak to chop vegetables. She’d sit at the table, stirring the tomato sauce, and say, “Don’t you dare put peppers on it, kiddo. You know I hate peppers.” Mom passed away last month. This Sunday was the first one without her. Lila helped me roll the dough, her little hands covered in flour. “Can we put pineapple?” she asked. I nodded, tears pricking my eyes. “Of course. Grandma would’ve wanted it.” We ate in front of the TV, watching the same old cartoons Mom liked. It tasted a little different without her sauce, but it still felt like home. “Mom?” Lila said, mouth full of pizza. “Is this what you meant by tradition?” I swallowed, wiping my floury hands on my apron. “Yeah, kiddo. That’s exactly what I meant.” 26. Why did the writer’s mom start the Sunday Pizza Night at first? A. Because they loved pineapple pizza. B. Because ordering pizza was too expensive for them. C. Because they wanted to watch old cartoons. D. Because the writer asked her to do so. 27. What did the family do when they made pizza together? A. They ordered takeout pizza. B. They watched new movies. C. They fought over putting pineapple. D. They let Dad roll the dough. 28. What does the underlined part “fight me” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Argue with me if you disagree. B. Hit me if you don’t like it. C. Play with me when you’re free. D. Cook with me if you want to learn. 29. How did the writer feel when Lila asked if she could put pineapple? A. Sad but relieved. B. Angry and upset. C. Nervous and unsure. D. Excited and proud. 30. What is the best title for the text? A. The Best Pizza Recipe B. Sunday Pizza Night Tradition C. My Great Mom D. A Fun Family Dinner B Family traditions are more than just repeated activities — they’re the threads that tie generations together, carrying culture, values, and love. Here are three unique family traditions from around the world: Japan: O-bento Traditions In Japan, many parents spend hours every morning making o-bento (lacquered lunch boxes) for their kids. It’s not just about packing food — it’s an art form. Parents cut rice, vegetables, and meat into cute shapes (think little octopuses made of sausage, or rice balls shaped like cartoon characters), and arrange them neatly in the box. Some even leave tiny notes inside: “Do your best on the math test!” or “Eat all your veggies, kiddo!” The tradition started after World War II, when more mothers started working outside the home and wanted to leave a little love note with their kids’ lunch. Now, it’s passed down from mother to daughter, and even some fathers have started learning the skill. Mexico: Día de los Muertos Family Altars Every November 1st and 2nd, Mexican families set up altars (祭坛) in their homes to honour ancestors who have passed away. They decorate the altars with marigolds (万寿菊), the dead person’s favourite food, photos, and candles. Families gather to tell stories about the ancestors, cook their favourite dishes, and even play their favourite music. It’s not a sad occasion — it’s a celebration of life, and a way to keep the ancestors’ memory alive. Kids learn about their family history from these altars, and the tradition is so important that it was added to UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2008. China: Reunion Dinner on Lunar New Year’s Eve Almost every Chinese family has this tradition: on the last day of the lunar year, all family members, no matter how far away they are, will rush home for the reunion dinner. The meal usually has fish (meaning “surplus (盈余)” in Chinese), dumplings (meaning “wealth”), and rice cakes (meaning “higher and better”). After dinner, families stay up late to welcome the new year, and elders give red envelopes to kids. The tradition dates back thousands of years, and even though many young people now live in cities far from their hometowns, they still try to make it home for this dinner — it’s the most important family bond of the year. 31. Why did Japanese parents start the o-bento tradition at first? A. To show off their cooking skills. B. To leave love notes with kids’ lunch when they worked. C. To make kids eat more vegetables. D. To pass down the art of food arrangement. 32. What do we know about Mexico’s Día de los Muertos tradition? A. It’s a sad day to mourn ancestors. B. It was added to UNESCO’s list in 2008. C. Only elders are allowed to set up the altar. D. Kids aren’t allowed to join the activity. 33. What do the three traditions have in common? A. They all involve cooking special food. B. They are all celebrated on fixed days. C. They are all passed down through generations. D. They are all recognised by UNESCO. 34. What does the writer think of family traditions? A. They are a waste of time. B. They only carry culture, not love. C. They tie generations together with shared values. D. They are only important for old people. 35. Where is the text probably from? A. A travel guide. B. A family magazine. C. A cookbook. D. A history textbook. C ① For decades, family traditions have been defined as activities passed down from older generations: making dumplings every New Year, going to grandma’s house every summer, taking a family photo every Christmas. We’re told these traditions are sacred (神圣的) — that if we skip them, we’re breaking some unspoken rule of family. But as a generation that moves faster, lives farther from home, and has different values than our parents, maybe it’s time to redefine what family traditions can be. ② I realised this last year when I told my grandma I couldn’t make it home for the annual Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner — I had a work trip to Tibet I couldn’t cancel. Grandma was silent for a second, then said, “That’s okay. We’ll have our own little reunion here, and you send us photos of the moon in Tibet. That can be our tradition this year.” I froze. I’d expected her to be upset, to tell me “family comes first, cancel the trip.” But instead, she’d bent the “rule” of tradition to fit my life. ③ That got me thinking: traditions don’t have to be rigid (僵化的). They don’t have to be the same every year, and they don’t have to be the ones our grandparents started. My friend Lena’s family has a “Bad Movie Night” every month — they pick the worst movie they can find, make popcorn, and laugh at how bad it is. It started when Lena’s dad lost his job 10 years ago, and they couldn’t afford to go out, so they rented cheap bad movies instead. Now, even though they’re well-off, they still keep the tradition — it reminds them that even when things are tough, they can still laugh together. My cousin and his husband have a “Sunday Morning Hike” tradition with their kids — it’s not something that’s been in our family for generations, but it’s theirs, and it works for them. ④ The core of any family tradition isn’t the activity itself — it’s the intention (心意) behind it: spending time together, creating shared memories, and showing each other you care. If the old traditions don’t fit your life anymore, it’s okay to tweak (调整) them, or even start new ones. Your grandma won’t be mad if you Skype her instead of flying home for every single holiday — she’ll just be happy to see your face. And who knows? Maybe your new tradition will be the one your kids pass down to theirs one day. 36. What does the underlined word “redefine” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. 重新定义 B. 重新创造 C. 重新传承 D. 重新打破 37. How did the writer’s grandma react when she heard the writer couldn’t come home for Mid-Autumn Festival? A. She got very upset and argued with the writer. B. She told the writer to cancel the work trip. C. She adjusted the tradition to fit the writer’s situation. D. She decided not to have reunion dinner that year. 38. Why did Lena’s family start the “Bad Movie Night” tradition? A. Because they loved watching bad movies. B. Because they couldn’t afford to go out when her dad lost his job. C. Because they wanted to remind themselves of tough times. D. Because it was a tradition passed down from elders. 39. What is the core of family traditions according to Paragraph 4? A. The activity itself. B. The shared time and care behind it. C. Following the rules strictly. D. Passing down from older generations. 40. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this text? A. To tell readers to cancel all old family traditions. B. To encourage readers to create their own suitable family traditions. C. To explain why old family traditions are outdated. D. To compare different family traditions around the world. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Family traditions aren’t just fun activities you do every year — they actually have surprising benefits for both kids and adults. Here are four reasons why you should start (or keep) a family tradition this year: ___41___ A study from the University of Illinois found that kids who grow up with regular family traditions (like weekly game nights or annual camping trips) have lower levels of stress and anxiety. The predictability of traditions gives kids a sense of stability, especially during tough times like moving to a new city or changing schools. When everything else feels uncertain, the tradition is the constant that makes them feel safe. ___42___ Traditions are a great way to pass down family values without lecturing. If your family has a tradition of volunteering at the local animal shelter every Spring Festival, your kids will learn that kindness and giving back are important — not because you tell them, but because they see it in action every year. Similarly, if you have a tradition of thanking everyone at the dinner table every Thanksgiving, your kids will grow up valuing gratitude. ___43___ Traditions connect you to your family history. When you make your grandma’s famous cookie recipe every Christmas, you’re not just baking — you’re keeping a piece of her alive, even if she’s no longer here. Kids who know their family stories and traditions tend to have higher self-esteem, because they feel like they’re part of something bigger than themselves. ___44___ In a busy world where everyone is glued to their phones, traditions force you to put down the devices and actually talk to each other. Whether it’s making dumplings together or going for a hike, you’re creating shared memories that you’ll laugh about for years. A survey found that 78% of adults say their favourite childhood memories are tied to family traditions. ___45___ You don’t need to have a complicated tradition — it can be as simple as Sunday morning pancakes, or reading a bedtime story every night. The point is to do it regularly, with the people you love. A. Traditions teach values without words. B. Traditions reduce stress and create stability. C. Traditions help you disconnect from devices. D. Traditions connect you to your family history. E. Traditions are always expensive to carry out. F. Traditions don’t have to be big or complicated. 四、阅读匹配（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 配对阅读。左栏是五个家庭各自的情况，右栏是适合他们的家庭传统活动，请你给每个家庭选择最适合的一项。 ___46___ The Wangs live in northern China. Grandma Wang knows how to make paper-cuttings for windows, and she wants to teach the skill to her granddaughter who loves art. ___47___ Mr. Li is very busy with work, and he only has 2 hours free every Sunday afternoon. His 10-year-old son loves football, and wants to do something fun with his dad every week. ___48___ The Zhangs have three kids, aged 6, 10, and 14. They want a family activity that all three kids can join, and it’s better to be something they can do at home on rainy days. ___49___ Ms. Chen’s family moved to Canada from Guangdong 5 years ago. Her kids were born in Canada, and she wants them to learn about Chinese tea culture through a fun family activity. ___50___ The Zhao family loves hiking, but their youngest son is only 4 years old, and can’t walk too far. They want a family activity that the little one can also join easily. A. Sunday Football Kick-around: Even if you only have 2 hours, you can go to the local park, kick a ball around with your kid, and grab a hot dog after. It’s simple, fun, and perfect for busy dads who want to bond with their football-loving kids. B. Paper-cutting Workshop: If your family has an elder who knows the traditional skill of paper-cutting, turn it into a tradition! Kids who love art will enjoy learning to cut out zodiac patterns (生肖图案) and flowers, and you can stick them on your windows every festival. C. Family Tea Ceremony: Make a pot of Gongfu tea every Saturday afternoon — teach your kids how to warm the pot, pour the tea, and sip slowly. It’s a calm, fun way to pass down Chinese culture, even if you live abroad. D. Rainy Day Indoor Scavenger Hunt: Make a list of items for the kids to find around the house (e.g. “something red”, “a book with a dog on the cover”), and the one who finds all wins a small prize. It works for kids of all ages, and is perfect for rainy days when you can’t go out. E. Full Moon Picnic: Every Mid-Autumn Festival, pack some mooncakes and fruits, drive to the nearest hill, and have a picnic under the moon. Even little 4-year-olds can join — they just need to sit on a mat and eat snacks while adults chat. F. Overnight Camping Trip: Every summer, drive to the nearby forest and camp for one night. It’s perfect for kids over 10 who love adventure, but may be too hard for 4-year-olds. 五、任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 请阅读下面的非连续性文本，按要求完成所给任务，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。 Family traditions are an important part of Chinese culture.

My family has a small but precious tradition: every Dragon Boat Festival, we make zongzi together. My grandma started this tradition 40 years ago when she first moved to the south. Back then, she didn’t know how to make zongzi, so her neighbor Auntie Lin taught her. Now, Grandma is the one teaching us. Last year, I finally learnt how to make zongzi by ___56______ (I). Grandma guided me step by step: first, soak (浸泡) the reed leaves in hot water for 10 minutes. Then, fold two leaves into a cone (圆锥体), put a spoonful of glutinous rice and a date in, and wrap it tightly with string. It sounds easy, but my first few zongzi kept falling apart — the rice leaked out when I boiled them. Grandma laughed and said, “Don’t worry, it took me ten tries to get it right when I was your age.” This year, Grandma was too weak to stand for long, so I ___57______ (take) over the wrapping part. She sat at the table, directing me: “Add a little more rice… no, not that tight, or the leaf will break.” When we finished, we boiled them for two hours. The smell filled the whole house. “Zongzi tastes better when you make it with family,” Grandma said, taking a bite of the zongzi I made. “It’s not just about the food — it’s about the time we spend together.” I realised then that traditions aren’t about being perfect. They’re about ___58______ (pass) down love, one zongzi at a time. Even if my zongzi aren’t as neat as Grandma’s, they still taste like home. And that’s all that matters. The 59_____(one) time I tried, I failed ___60______ (get) the shape right. But Grandma said it tasted even ___61______ (good) than the store-bought ones. We wrapped the leaves ___62______ (tight) to keep the rice from leaking. While ___63______ (boil) the zongzi, we chatted about old family stories. 64_____ time we spent together is the most valuable part. Now I know that this small tradition ___65______ (matter) more than anything else. 56．______ (I) 57．______ (take)58．______ (pass) 59．______ (one) 60．______ (get) 61．______ (good) 62．______ (tight) 63______(boil) 64．______ 65．______ (matter) 七、书面表达（15分） 常言道：“家是心灵的港湾，亲情是永恒的灯火。”家庭传统是家庭温暖的载体，可能是每年一起包的饺子、每周五的电影夜，也可能是长辈教你做手工艺的小习惯。这些小小的传统，藏着最珍贵的回忆。 请以“My Family Tradition”为题，写一篇短文介绍你家的一个家庭传统。 内容包括： 1. 你家有什么家庭传统（什么时候做、做什么）； 2. 这个传统是怎么来的； 3. 这个传统对你/家人的意义。 注意： 1. 词数80~100左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 My Family Tradition ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 一、语法选择 1-5 ABBAC 6-10 CABDB 11-15 DBCAD 二、完形填空 16-20 BABCB 21-25 CBBDB 三、阅读理解 第一节：26-30 BCACB 31-35 BBCBB 36-40 ACBBB 第二节：41-45 BADCF 四、阅读匹配 46-50 BADEC 五、任务型阅读（开放题，仅供参考） 51. 920. 52.

This tradition started 20 years ago when my grandma first moved to our city. She didn’t have any relatives here, so she made the cakes to comfort herself. Later, my dad learnt the skill from her, and now I’m the one helping grandma stir the sugar and press the cakes into molds. We don’t make perfect cakes every time — sometimes they’re too sweet, sometimes they break when we steam them. But we always sit around the table laughing, and grandma tells stories about her childhood while we work. To me, this tradition isn’t just about the cakes. It’s about the time we spend together, and the love grandma passes down to us. Even when I grow up and move out, I’ll keep this tradition going with my own kids one day. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
