一、阅读理解
Passage A
The celebration of the Day of the Dead in Mexico offers a profound contrast to the somber tone often
associated with death in many Westem cultures.Far from a moumful occasion,this festival,officially
observed on November Ist and 2nd,is a vibrant and joyous reunion with departed loved ones.Families
believe that during this time,the spirits of the deceased retum to the world of the living to celebrate with
them.The atmosphere is one oflove,memory,and colorful festivities.
Preparations for the Day of the Dead can begin weeks in advance.Families meticulously clean and
decorate graves in cemeteries,an act of devotion intended to welcome the spirits home.Altars,known as
ofiendas,are constructed in homes and public spaces,adorned with a spectacular array of elements
believed to attract the souls.These include bright orange marigold flowers,whose strong scent and
vibrant color are thought to guide the spirits,photographs of the deceased,their favorite foods and drinks,
sugar skulls representing the sweetness of life and the inevitability of death;and candles to light the way.
Papel picado,or cut-tissue paper,with its intricate designs of skeletons and skulls,adds to the festive
atmosphere.
A key feature of the festival is the presence of"La Calavera Catrina,"a female skeleton figure elegantly
dressed in early 20th-century European clothing.Originally created as a satirical print by artist Jose
Guadalupe Posada,Catrina has become the iconic symbol of the Day of the Dead,serving as a reminder
that death is the great equalizer,touching everyone regardless of their social status.Her image is
ubiquitous,appearing on costumes,face paint,and decorations.
The celebration extends beyond the home and cemetery.Parades fill the streets with participants dressed
as Catrinas or traditional skeletons.Music fills the air,and the scent of marigolds mixes with the aroma of
pan de muerto(bread of the dead),a special sweet bread baked for the occasion.The celebration is a
sensory feast,designed not to fiighten,but to celebrate the continuity of life and the enduring bond
between the living and the dead.It is a powerful cultural statement about the acceptance of death as a
natural part of the human experience,transforming it from an end into a continuation.
()1.What is the main purpose of the Day of the Dead celebration?
A.To moumn the loss of family members
B.To welcome the spirits of the dead back home
C.To entertain the living with colorful parades.
D.To show off the wealth and status of families
()2.The word "meticulously"in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A.carelessly
B.quickly
C.hurriedly
D.carefully
()3.Which of the following items on an ofienda is specifically meant to guide the spirits?
A.Sugar skulls
B.Photographs of the deceased.
C.Marigold flowers.
D.Papel picado
()4.What does the figure of"La Calavera Catrina"symbolize?
A.The beauty of European fashion
B.The wealth of the upper class.
C.The equalizing power of death.
D.The sadness oflosing a loved one.
()5.What is the author's overall attitude towards the Day of the Dead?
A.Critical and questioning.
B.Objective but slightly confused.
C.Appreciative and fascinated.
D.Indifferent and unimpressed.
Passage B
The global celebration of Halloween,particularly in its modem,commercialized form,has its roots deeply
embedded in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain (pronounced "sah-win").For the Celts,who lived
over 2,000 years ago in what is now Ireland,the United Kingdom,and northern France,November 1st
marked the end of summer and the harvest,and the beginning of the dark,cold winter-a time of year
often associated with human death.They believed that on the night before the new year,October 31st,the
boundary between the worlds of the living and the dead became blurred.
On the night of Samhain,it was believed that the ghosts of the dead retumed to earth.This caused trouble
and damaged crops,but it also made it easier for Celtic priests,known as Druids,to make predictions
about the future.To mark the event,Druids built huge sacred bonfires,where the people gathered to burn
crops and animals as sacrifices to the Celtic deities.During the celebration,the Celts wore costumes.
typically consisting of animal heads and skins,and attempted to tell each other's fortunes.When the
celebration was over,they re-lit their hearth fires from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the
coming winter.
The influence of the Roman Empire later blended with the Celtic tradition.After conquering the Celtic
lands,the Romans merged their own festivals with Samhain.One such festival was Feralia,a day in late
October when Romans commemorated the passing of the dead.Another was a day honoring Pomona,the
Roman goddess of fruit and trees.The symbol of Pomona is the apple,which is likely the origin of the
modem Halloween tradition of bobbing for apples."
By the 9th century,Christianity had spread into Celtic lands.In the 7th century,Pope Boniface IV
designated November Ist as All Saints'Day,a time to honor saints and martyrs.It is widely believed that
the church was attempting to replace the Celtic festival of the dead with a related but church-sanctioned
holiday.The celebration was also called All-hallows or All-hallowmas,and the night before it,the
traditional night of Samhain,began to be called All-hallows Eve,which eventually evolved into
“Halloween.”
Today,Halloween has evolved into a largely secular holiday,with activities like trick-or-treating,costume
parties,carving jack-o'-lantemns,and attending haunted houses.While its roots in ancient traditions
remain,the modem observance of Halloween is a testament to the cultural blending and evolution of
festivals over centuries.It has become a global phenomenon,particularly in North America,where it has
taken on a life ofits own,driven by consumerism and a desire for communal fun.
()6.According to the text,what was the primary purpose of the bonfires during the Celtic Samhain?
A.To provide light for the fortune-telling
B.To cook the harvest for a community feast.
C.To make sacrifices and offer protection.
D.To signal the start of the winter season.
()7.What is one piece of evidence that connects the Roman festival of Pomona to modern Halloween?
A.The use of costumes.
B.The tradition of trick-or-treating
C.The practice ofbobbing for apples."
D.The focus on predicting the future.
()8.The author suggests that the church designated November 1st as All Saints'Day most likely
A.to honor the Celtic gods.
B.to confuse the Celtic people.
C.to absorb the Celtic festival into Christianity.
D.to end the celebration of Samhain.
()9.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.Halloween has completely lost its original meaning.
B.The most significant Halloween traditions are ancient.
C.Halloween has evolved into a modem,global festival.
D.Consumerism has destroyed the spirit of Halloween.
()10.The passage is mainly about
A.how to celebrate Halloween in different cultures.
B.the historical origins and evolution of Halloween.
C.the comparison between Samhain and Halloween.
D.the religious significance of the Halloween festival.

三、阅读短文回答问题
Read the following passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.
Laba Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the eighth day of the 12th month of the lunar
Chinese calendar.It is a day that marks the beginning of the Spring Festival season.While not as widely
celebrated as the Spring Festival itself,it holds significant cultural and historical meaning,particularly
connected to Buddhism and agricultural traditions
The festival has its roots in ancient harvest celebrations,where people would give thanks for the year's
bounty and pray for a good harvest in the coming year.It later became associated with Buddhism.Legend
says that before Buddha attained enlightenment,he was so weak from ascetic practices that he collapsed
by a river.A shepherdess found him and saved his life by feeding him a ponidge made from rice,beans,
and dried fruits.After recovering,he was able to meditate and achieve enlightenment under the Bodhi
tree.To commemorate this event,Buddhists began eating poridge on the eighth day of the 12th month.
This porridge,known as laba congee or laba zhou,is the most iconic symbol of the festival.It is a thick,
nutritious stew made from a variety of grains,beans,nuts,and dried fiuits,such as glutinous rice,red
beans,millet,lotus seeds,peanuts,and dried dates.The ingredients can vary from region to region and
from family to family,reflecting local tastes and what is available.Making and sharing this congee is a
key custom of the day.Many Buddhist temples prepare huge quantities of laba congee to give to the
public,a practice believed to bring good luck and blessings
Another custom associated with Laba Festival is the soaking of Laba garlic.People peel garlic cloves and
soak them in vinegar in a sealed container.Over time,the garlic tumns a vibrant green color.This garlic is
then eaten with dumplings during the Chinese New Year.The green color,which is unusual for pickled
garlic,is considered very auspicious.The timing is perfect,as the garlic is ready just in time for the Spring
Festival feasts.The preparation of both the congee and the garlic transforms the home,filling it with the
anticipation of the new year.Though the day itself is quiet,Laba Festival serves as a warm and delicious
prelude to the grand celebrations that follow.
1.According to the passage,what is the primary significance of Laba Festival in the context of the
Chinese New Year?
2.According to the text,what two historical or cultural traditions are the roots of Laba Festival?
3.Why is Laba congee eaten during the festival,according to the Buddhist legend?
4.What is the main purpose for Buddhist temples making and sharing large amounts of Laba congee with
the public?
5.Why is the timing of making Laba garlic considered "perfect"in the text?

My Favorite Chinese Traditional Festival
My favorite Chinese traditional festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival.It is a time for family reunion,falling
on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month.
The most important custom is the family reunion dinner and moon gazing.Everyone gathers to enjoy a
feast and share mooncakes,the symbolic food of the festival.We sit outside,savoring the sweet pastries
while admiring the full,bright moon.As the moon is round,it symbolizes completeness and unity.
I love this festival because it emphasizes family harmony.It is not just about the delicious mooncakes,but
about the deep connection and love we share.In our fast-paced world,this festival serves as a precious
reminder to appreciate our family and the simple joy of being together.It fills me with a sense of
belonging and peace.
