However,this evolution is not without its critics.Some traditionalists argue that the essence of the festivals is being diluted.They point to the increasing commercialization of holidays like Christmas and Valentine's Day,where the emphasis on gift-giving and consumption often overshadows the original spirit of togethemness or romance.In response,some communities have launched movements to reclaim their festivals,focusing on authentic rituals and local participation.For example,some European towns have introduced slow Christmas markets,which ban mass-produced goods and promote handmade crafts and local food,aiming to revive a sense of community and genuine celebration. Perhaps the most interesting development is the rise of hybrid festivals.These are not merely the adoption of foreign holidays,but a creative fusion.In Japan,Christmas is celebrated not as a religious event but as a romantic day for couples,complete with KFC chicken and strawbeny cake.This is not seen as losing culture but as making new culture.Such adaptations challenge the notion that tradition is static.Instead, they suggest that festivals are living entities that must adapt to survive.The key question for the future may not be how to preserve festivals unchanged,but how to preserve their meaning in a changing world As one anthropologist noted,a ritual that never changes is a dead ritual.A living tradition is always in negotiation with the present ()1.What is the main change happening to traditional festivals according to the passage? A.They are becoming less popular. B.They are being abandoned by the young. C.They are adapting to modem life D.They are becoming strictly religious. ()2.The slow Christmas movement in European towns is mentioned to illustrate A.the decline of traditional festivals B.the resistance to commercialization C.the popularity ofhandmade gifts D.the influence of religious beliefs ()3.The example of Christmas in Japan suggests that A.foreign festivals are replacing local ones B.Japanese people have misunderstood Christmas C.festivals can be creatively re-interpreted D.tradition must remain unchanged ()4.What is the author attitude towards the evolution of festivals? A.Critical. B.Optimistic. C.Indifferent. D.Skeptical. ()5.What does the anthropologist mean by saying a living tradition is always in negotiation with the present? A.Traditions should be preserved exactly as they are. B.Traditions must change to stay relevant. C.Traditions are not important in modemn society. D.Traditions should be decided by modemn people. Passage 2 The concept of national identity is often tied to shared traditions and customs.However,in an increasingly multicultural world,how do immigrant communities maintain their own festivals while integrating into a new society?A study in the United Kingdom examined the celebration of Diwali(the Hindu festival of lights)among second-generation British Indians.The findings reveal a complex pattern of cultural navigation. For many in this group,Diwali is not simply a borrowed festival from their parents homeland.Rather,it is a carefully curated event that expresses both their heritage and their British identity.The research identified three main strategies.The first,traditional preservation,involves families strictly following rituals passed down from grandparents.The second,modemn adaptation,mixes traditional elements with British customs.For instance,families might combine a temple visit with a dinner at a local Indian restaurant and end the evening watching the Queen Christmas message.This strategy is most common among young professionals who feel comfortable in both cultures. The third and most interesting strategy is creative innovation.Here,individuals completely re-invent the festival to suit their personal beliefs.A British-Indian artist might organize a Diwali art exhibition focusing on themes of social justice,using traditional lamps(diyas)as a symbol of hope for refugees.This approach often involves de-linking the festival from its religious origins and re-linking it to universal human values.The researchers conclude that these strategies do not represent a loss of culture,but rather a dynamic process of cultural production.By being flexible about how they celebrate,these communities ensure the festival remains meaningful.The study suggests that the most resilient traditions are not the most rigid,but those that allow for individual interpretation and adaptation,ensuring they survive across generations and borders. ()1.What is the main purpose of the study mentioned in the passage? A.To compare different Diwali celebrations. B.To examine how British Indians maintain cultural identity. C.To promote the celebration of Diwali in the UK. D.To criticize the adaptation of festivals. ()2.Which of the following is NOT one of the strategies identified in the study? A.Following traditional nituals strictly. B.Combining Indian and British customs C.Using the festival for political protest. D.Abandoning the festival completely. ()3.The phrase curated event in paragraph 2 means that the festival is A.kept secret B.carefully planned and chosen C.expensive to organize D.only for adults ()4.What does the creative innovation strategy involve? A.Ignoring the festival entirely. B.Focusing only on religious aspects C.Re-inventing the festival with new meanings D.Copying how it is celebrated in India. ()5.What can be inferred about resilient traditions from the study? A.They are the most ancient. B.They are fixed and unchanging. C.They allow for personal adaptation. D.They are only practiced in secret. 二、完形填空 Every year,millions of people around the world take part in a unique tradition:the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona,Spain.For some,it is a thiilling adventure,for others,a cruel practice that should be 1.

More than just a party,the carnival is a powerful expression of identity and resistance.The tradition of carnival itself has its roots in the Caribbean,where it was once a celebration held by enslaved Afiicans before Lent.The music,primarily Calypso,Soca,and Reggae,tells stories of social issues and politics. The vibrant costumes and elaborate floats are the heart of the parade.Steelpan bands,which were also invented in Trinidad,provide a unique sound that defines the festival.Marchers spend months preparing their costumes,which often comment on current events or celebrate Caribbean heritage. Over the decades,the festival has grown enormously.It now attracts up to 2 million visitors each year, making it the second-largest street party in the world after Rio Carnival.However,this growth has brought challenges.Issues of crowd control,public safety,and noise complaints have led to debates about the camival future.Local authorities have imposed stricter regulations and the event has faced funding cuts Despite these pressures,the Notting Hill Camival remains a vital event in London cultural calendar.It serves as a platform for Caribbean culture and a symbol of multiculturalism.For many British Caribbeans, it is not just a celebration but a statement of belonging.The camival proves that a festival can be both a joyous celebration and a serious cultural statement.It demonstrates the power of tradition to adapt, survive,and thive as a living expression of a community history and hopes. 1.What was the original purpose of the Notting Hill Carnival when it started in 1966? 2.How does the music at the camnival (Calypso,Soca)reflect its Caribbean roots? 3.According to the passage,what are the two main challenges the camival currently faces? 4.What does the passage mean by saying the camival is a statement of belonging for British Caribbeans? 5.What conclusion does the author draw about the tradition of the Notting Hill Carnival? 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。 Each year,the Dragon Boat Festival is 1. across China and in many other parts of the world This 2. festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.It is best known for its dragon boat races and the 3. of zongzi,a type of sticky rice dumpling wrapped in bamboo leaves.

The legend has 7. over time,but the core themes remain the same:loyalty,patriotism,and the spirit of community.Today,the dragon boat races are not only a folk activity but also an intemnational sport.The event also includes customs like wearing perfume pouches and hanging mugwort leaves to ward offevil spirits and disease.The festival is a 8. of the power of tradition to shape cultural identity.It is a moment for families to come together and 9. the past.Although the world has changed greatly since Qu Yuan time,the spirit of the Dragon Boat Festival remains a vital part of Chinese cultural heritage,connecting generations across time.This shows how a custom can 10. for millennia and remain relevant. 1 2 3. 4. 5 6.
