A蚧计同止的=姑幻■ 一、阅读理解 Passage1(C篇难度) In many cultures around the world,festivals serve as a vibrant thread that weaves together the fabric of community and family.They are not merely dates on a calendar,they are living,breathing expressions of shared history,values,and identity.While the specific customs may vary dramatically from one region to another,the underlying purpose often remains remarkably consistent:to foster a sense of belonging and to pass down traditions from one generation to the next. Consider the Chinese Spring Festival,or Lunar New Year.This grand celebration,rooted in ancient mythology and agricultural cycles,is a time for family reunions.The journey home,known as chunyun, is the world largest annual human migration.The customs are numerous and symbolic:sweeping away the old to make way for the new,giving red envelopes for good luck,and enjoying a lavish reunion dinner.These practices are not random acts,they are carefully preserved rituals that reinforce familial bonds and cultural continuity. Contrast this with the spirit of Chiistmas in many Western societies.While its religious origins celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ,the modern festival has evolved into a secular season of giving,goodwill,and family gathering.The iconic figure of Santa Claus,the tradition of decorating a tree,and the exchange of gifts are central to the celebration.These traditions,though relatively modern in their current form,serve a similar function:they create a shared experience that strengthens social ties and provides a sense of warmth and joy during the dark winter months. However,the modern world presents a double-edged sword for these cherished traditions.Globalization and commercialism can often dilute or alter the original meaning of festivals.For instance,Halloween, originally a Celtic harvest festival marking the boundary between the living and the dead,has become a highly commercialized event focused on costumes and candy.Similarly,the gift-giving aspect of Chiistmas often overshadows its deeper themes of compassion and community On the other hand,migration and cultural exchange have given rise to new hybrid celebrations.The celebration of Diwali,the Hindu festival of lights,in countries like the United Kingdom and the United States,is a testament to the power of diaspora communities to maintain their cultural identity while integrating into a new society.Furthermore,festivals themselves are not static;they adapt and evolve.The modemn celebrations of the Spring Festival now incorporate digital red envelopes and online greetings, demonstrating a remarkable ability to blend tradition with innovation. In conclusion,festivals are a dynamic and essential part of the human experience.They are the mirrors that reflect a culture soul,the schools that teach its values,and the glue that binds its people together While the pressures of modernity are undeniable,the fundamental human need for connection,ritual,and celebration ensures that festivals will continue to evolve and endure,forever reminding us of who we are and where we come from. ()1.What is the primary purpose of festivals across different cultures,according to the first paragraph? A.To provide a break from work. B.To encourage commercial activity. C.To foster a sense of belonging and pass down traditions. D.To celebrate religious figures ()2.The word dilute in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to: A.strengthen B.weaken C.clarify D.ignore ()3.Why does the author mention the Chinese Spring Festival and Western Christmas in the passage? A.To show that they are very different and have nothing in common B.To illustrate that festivals,despite their surface-level differences,serve similar core functions. C.To argue that one festival is more important than the other. D.To provide examples of festivals that have been completely unchanged by modem society. ()4.According to the passage,what is a double-edged sword in the context of modern festivals? A.The fact that they are both dangerous and exciting B.The conflict between religious and secular celebrations C.The ability of globalization and commercialism to both alter and enrich traditions. D.The competition between different festivals for public attention. ()5.What is the author overall attitude towards the future of festivals? A.Pessimistic,as traditions are being lost. B.Cynical,viewing them as mere commercial events. C.Optimistic,believing they will adapt and continue to be important. D.Indifferent,as they are no longer relevant in the modern world. Passage2(D篇难度) The way a society marks the passage of time,particularly through its festivals and customs,offers profound insights into its core values and worldview.For the Japanese,the observance of Hanami,the traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of cherry blossoms,is far more than a simple picnic.It is a deeply embedded cultural practice that reflects a philosophical appreciation for the ephemeral nature of life. The cheny blossom,or sakura,blooms vibrantly for only a short period,often less than two weeks.This fleeting beauty is a powerful metaphor in Japanese culture,known as mono no aware-the bittersweet awareness of the impermanence of things.During Hanami,people gather under the blooming trees,not just to admire the flowers,but to contemplate the transient yet beautiful cycle of life,death,and renewal. The festival is a collective moment of mindfulness,a pause in the modern hustle to connect with nature and a shared aesthetic sensibility. In stark contrast,consider the tradition of Camival in Brazil.Preceding the solemn season of Lent, Carnival is a spectacular explosion of energy,color,and music.The samba parades,elaborate costumes, and street parties are a deliberate and joyous celebration of life,freedom,and cultural identity.It is a time of inversion,where social hierarchies may be temporarily suspended and public space is reclaimed for uninhibited expression.The values on display are not those of quiet contemplation,but of communal joy, physical vitality,and artistic creativity. These two examples highlight a crucial point:festivals are not random collections of fun activities.They are carefully constructed cultural performances that allow a society to express and reinforce its most cherished beliefs.Hanami reinforces a collective appreciation for nature cycles and the acceptance of life transience.Camnival reinforces the values of communal celebration,freedom of expression,and the importance of collective joy. Furthermore,festivals serve as a powerful tool for social commentary and political expression.The modem Pride parades,which began as a form of political protest for LGBTQ+rights,have become global festivals ofidentity and acceptance.They are a visible demonstration of a community existence, strength,and demand for equal rights.Similarly,many indigenous festivals are not just about preserving ancient rituals,they are acts of cultural resilience and a public assertion ofidentity in the face of historical oppression. The way we celebrate is a direct reflection of who we are and what we value.From the quiet reflection under a cheny tree to the wild abandon of a samba parade,from a solemn religious procession to a vibrant political march,festivals are the stage upon which a culture performs its greatest themes. Analyzing these performances gives us a powerful lens through which to understand the complex and often unspoken values that shape a society soul. ()1.What does the custom of Hanami in Japan primarily reflect? A.A love for elaborate parties and music. B.A philosophical appreciation for the beauty ofimpermanence C.A desire to overthrow social hierarchies. D.A religious celebration of the harvest season. ()2.The principle of mono no aware,as described in the passage,is a feeling of: A.Unbounded joy and excitement. B.Simple admiration for beauty. C.A bittersweet awareness of life fleeting nature. D.Deep anger and frustration. ()3.How does the Brazilian Camival differ in its core values from the Japanese Hanami? A.Camnival values collective joy and expression,while Hanami values quiet contemplation. B.Carnival values religious observance,while Hanami values political protest. C.Carnival values individualism,while Hanami values social harmony. D.Camnival values tradition,while Hanami values innovation. ()4.The author mentions modemn Pride parades as an example of how festivals can: A.Lose their original meaning due to commercialism. B.Serve as a tool for social and political commentary. C.Mark the seasonal cycles of agriculture D.Promote a specific religious doctrine. ()5.What is the main argument of the passage? A.Chenry blossom viewing is the most important festival in the world. B.Festivals are simple,fun activities that have no deeper meaning C.Festivals perform a vital cultural function,reflecting and reinforcing a society core values. D.Japanese and Brazilian festivals are too different to be compared. 二、完形填空 The Mid-Autumn Festival,a time for family reunion under the full moon,is a celebration deeply rooted in Chinese culture.It is a night when the silver moon hangs high,and the air is filled with the sweet aroma of mooncakes.For my family,this festival is not just a tradition;it is a sacred(1) that binds generations together. Every year,my grandmother would take the lead in preparing the feast.She would carefully select the lotus seeds and red bean paste for the mooncakes,her hands moving with the (2) of a master artist.She often said that making mooncakes was a way of wrapping up our love and hopes for the family.I remember watching her,(3)by the way she could transform simple ingredients into something so precious.

However,times have changed.This year,I couldn't go home.Work and studies had kept me in a city far away.I felt a sharp pang of(6) as I looked at the moon alone.I tried to call my family,but the distance felt(7).To my surprise,a package anived from home.Inside was a box of handmade mooncakes and a note in my mother handwriting:The moon is full,and so is our love for you.No(8) can separate us. As I bit into the mooncake,the familiar taste of lotus paste (9) a flood of memories.I was no longer alone.In that moment,I understood that the true spirit of the festival is not about the physical(10) but about the emotional connection that(11) time and space.It is a love that is always(12) a tradition that is always alive. This experience taught me a(13) lesson.Traditions may evolve,and the way we celebrate may change,but their core(14) remains strong.The Mid-Autumn Festival is a reminder that even when we are apart,the full moon shines on us all,a silver thread (15) our hearts together,no matter how far apart we are. 1.A.rule B.burden C.ritual D.performance 2.A.speed B.precision C.difficulty D.fear 3.A.amazed B.annoyed C.bored D.confused 4.A.broke B.lacked C.ignored D.filled 5.A.passed B.written C.looked D.put 6.A.joy B.pride C.loneliness D.relief 7.A.shorter B.smaller C.warmer D.greater 8.A.gift B.distance C.mooncake D.story 9.A.created B.stopped C.forgot D.saved 10.A.strength B.presence C.health D.wealth 11.A.measures B.limits C.transcends D.reduces 12.A.present B.absent C.hidden D.broken 13.A.simple B.terible C.valuable D.boring 14.A.flavor B.essence C.shape D.problem 15.A.cutting B.tying C.breaking D.hiding 三、阅读短文回答问题 In an era of rapid globalization,the line between preserving cultural purity and embracing new influences is increasingly blurred.This is especially evident in the evolution of festivals,which are often seen as the last stronghold of a society unique identity.A pertinent example is the celebration of Christmas in Japan. Though not a national holiday in the traditional religious sense,Christmas has been adopted and adapted in a uniquely Japanese way,reflecting a fascinating interplay of cultural borrowing and local ingenuity. The arrival of Christmas in Japan began with Westemn missionaries in the 16th century,but it was largely suppressed during the isolationist Edo period.Its modern revival began after World War II,heavily influenced by American popular culture.However,instead of being a solemn religious or intimate family holiday as in the West,Chiistmas in Japan has transformed into a secular,commercialized event focused on romance and spreading happiness.A key tradition is the Chiistmas cake,a strawberry shortcake that is seen as a symbol of prosperity and celebration.It is a custom for couples to spend Chiistmas Eve together on a romantic date,followed by a special dinner,often at a fried chicken restaurant like KFC,thanks to a highly successful marketing campaign in the 1970s. This adaptation illustrates a common phenomenon:cultural appropriation is not a simple one-way street. While Japan has absorbed many extemnal elements of Christmas,it has actively reshaped them to fit its own social fabric and consumer culture.It is not a case of Westemn culture replacing Japanese culture,but rather of a foreign concept being Japanized to serve local needs.This process is often referred to as Zasshoku Bunka,or hybrid culture,where elements from different origins are combined to create something entirely new. However,this raises questions about cultural authenticity.Is a Japanese Chiistmas,devoid of its religious origins and focused on romance and consumerism,a real Christmas?Perhaps the more insightful question is what this adaptation tells us about Japanese culture itself.It reveals a society that is open to extemal influences but also highly adept at domesticating them.It highlights a culture that prioritizes social harmony and shared experiences,finding new ways to celebrate togetherness,even through a non-native tradition.The Japanese Christmas is,therefore,far from a simple copy,it is a vivid example of cultural creation,demonstrating the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of human celebration. Answer the following questions based on the passage: 1.According to the passage,what is the primary way Christmas has been adapted in Japan,compared to its Western form? 2.What does the term Japanized most likely mean in the context of the passage? 3.Besides a romantic date,what is one specific custom or food associated with Christmas in Japan that the author mentions? 4.What does the author suggest that the adaptation of Christmas in Japan reveals about Japanese culture? 5.What new question does the author raise regarding the adaptation of foreign festivals in the final paragraph? 四、短文填空 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 The Spring Festival,also known as the Lunar New Year,is the most significant and widely(1) festival in China.It is a time when people from all over the country travel back to their hometowns,(2) the world largest annual human migration.The customs and traditions (3) with this festival are rich and numerous,each carrying a deep cultural meaning. A few days before the New Year,families begin their preparations.They clean their houses thoroughly to sweep away any bad luck from the (4) year.In (5) of the gods and ancestors,people will offer sacrifices.The most important event is the reunion dinner on New Year Eve,where family members gather to enjoy a(6) fish,dumplings,and many other dishes.The name of the fish, yu,sounds like the word for surplus,symbolizing a wish for abundance in the coming year.

A few days before the festival,we do a thorough cleaning of our house to sweep away bad luck,and we also go shopping for new clothes,decorations,and delicious food.On New Year Eve,the whole family gets together for a big reunion dinner,which is the most important part.We watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV and stay up late to welcome the new year.On the first day of the new year,we visit our relatives and fiiends to exchange greetings and give red envelopes to children. In my opinion,the Spring Festival is not just about the food or the activities.It is a precious time for family reunion,reminding us of our roots and cultural identity.I hope you can experience it yourself one day. Yours, Li Hua
