To him, cooking is a waste of time, and delivered food is far more convenient. Last summer vacation, my husband and I set a family rule: We would cook a full meal together every weekend instead of ordering online. Our first cooking weekend started badly. Eric sighed the moment we asked him to help. “Why cook ourselves when food arrives in minutes?” he complained. We divided tasks clearly: I washed greens, my husband cut meat, and Eric sliced potatoes and mixed condiments (调味料). At first, he spilled salt and cut uneven slices. After several tries, he got the hang of the work. When steaming dishes filled the table, Eric stared in surprise. He never expected simple team work to create such tasty food. I still remember learning cooking as a teen. My mother let me help in the kitchen daily after school. I kept a notebook recording steps and mistakes to track my small progress. Back then housework felt boring, yet those repeated hands-on jobs slowly built my sense of responsibility. Home cooking brings many challenges. Fresh food goes bad easily, and different dishes require different skills. The whole process has over ten steps, with cleaning ingredients (食材) and heat control being the most important. Cleaning guarantees food safety, and proper heat improves flavor. After months of weekend practice, we won a small prize at the community family activity. Each weekend offers a new cooking experience. On a rainy day, we tried grandma’s traditional local dish. Its complex steps defeated us three times before we got the right taste. Whenever our dishes tasted terrible, my notebook helped us find mistakes quickly. Up to now, Eric has joined over forty cooking activities. “If we fully depend on takeout, we will miss chances to learn practical life skills. I no longer dislike kitchen work. The more I cook with the family, the more useful lessons I gain,’ Eric said. 24．(2.5分)What used to be Eric’s main choice of food at home alone? A．Home-made meals. B．Ordered meals. C．Store-bought snacks. D．Grandma’s dishes. 25．(2.5分)How did Eric feel after finishing his kitchen work on the first weekend? A．Annoyed. B．Confused. C．Astonished. D．Regretful. 26．(2.5分)What can be inferred about the author’s notebook? A．It helped her improve cooking skills. B．It won a community activity prize. C．It recorded grandma’s traditional dishes. D．It marked down her progress. 27．(2.5分)What has Eric come to realize about cooking? A．Takeout brings great convenience. B．Cooking needs complex steps. C．Traditional dishes taste better. D．Labor benefits teens’ growth. （本题10分）If you’ve been to a birthday party, you’ve probably seen it: the cake comes out, the candles are lit, the room sings, and the birthday person makes a wish before blowing them out. However, this moment didn’t start as just a party tradition. The simple act of blowing out birthday candles carries a rich history dating back thousands of years to ancient Greece, where people honored Artemis, goddess of the moon, with round honey cakes called “nouton-gonosupahon”. Historians like Marie Nicola suggest candlelight likely represented moonlight during lunar celebrations. “Fire represented the presence (存在) of gods across Indo-European cultures,” notes Nicola. As Greek customs spread, the Romans later absorbed many of these practices, introducing round cakes and candlelit offerings into birthday celebrations as their empire expanded (扩张). By the Middle Ages, Germans developed their own candle tradition through Kinderfest, a traditional festival celebrating children. People back then believed children were easily hurt by bad spirits on their birthdays. So the candles were left to burn throughout the day until the evening meal, and their smoke was believed to have protective power and carry the child’s wishes to heaven. German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s 1799 account of his 52nd birthday cake with 50 candles marks one of the earliest documented uses matching modern practice. The 19th century saw the tradition develop quickly. Swiss records from 1881 described cakes with candles representing each year of life — the first clear documentation of today’s celebration. Germans then brought the custom to America, where it gained new meaning: blowing out all candles in one breath ensured wishes come true. Mass production and media promoted the tradition worldwide. By the 1920s, numbered candle sets began to be sold, while Disney’s 1931 Mickey Mouse cartoon The Birthday Party strengthened the image in popular culture. After World War Ⅱ, American consumer culture exported the candle-blowing tradition globally, through tourism, kids’ media, and big brands, from Japan adopting it in the 1950s to Hallmark cards featuring candle imagery. What began as spiritual protection became a universal celebration of life-proving, and even ancient celebrations can develop into joyful traditions. As Nicola reflects, “That single breath blowing out candles still carries shadows of ancient prayers, now transformed into wishes for the future.” 28．(2.5分)What may early Greek candlelight stand for? A．The beauty of natural sunlight. B．The goddess’ existence. C．The power to keep people healthy. D．Symbols of Roman expansion. 29．(2.5分)Why did Germans keep candles burning all day on kids’ birthdays? A．To drive away evil spirits. B．To celebrate a good harvest. C．To record the child’s growth. D．To decorate holiday desserts. 30．(2.5分)Which of the following helped spread the custom globally? A．The detailed Swiss cake records. B．The growing popularity of cartoons. C．Industrial production and media influence. D．The publication of famous German books. 31．(2.5分)What does the text mainly talk about? A．Various ancient Greek religious gods. B．Origin and development of cake candles. C．Special practices to remember big days. D．Different birthday celebrations worldwide. （本题10分）The Longtaitou Festival, which means “the dragon raises its head” in Chinese, is a traditional Chinese festival held on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. So, it’s also called the Eryue’er Festival. In Chinese culture, the dragon is an auspicious (吉利的) animal that dominates clouds and rain. The 2nd day of the 2nd lunar month is thought to be the day when the dragon awakes and raises its head according to the Chinese folk legend. So the day is called Dragon Head-raising Day. After the day, spring is coming and there will be more and more rain. People think this credit (功劳) goes to the dragon. So the day is also called the Spring Dragon Festival. Since the Yuan Dynasty, Chinese people have had the custom of celebrating the Longtaitou Festival. The most popular custom on Dragon Head-raising Day is cutting hair. The dragon is highly honored for its dignity (尊贵) and power for good. It is thought to be auspicious to cut hair on Dragon Head-raising Day. Luck and opportunities will always knock you in the year.

The most common food for celebrating the festival is popcorn, pancakes, noodles, dumplings, fried soy beans and the pig’s head meat. People in different areas have different traditions about the food on the day. In Beijing, people eat lvdagunr (glutinous rice rolls with sweet bean flour) and spring pancakes on the day. In Shanxi, people like to eat fried dough twists (麻花) and pancakes. In Shandong, fried soy beans, noodles and dumplings are the festival food. In Fuzhou, the salted porridge made of glutinous rice, celery, scallions, garlic, fried shrimps and shredded meat is eaten. These show people’s hope of being blessed (保佑) with favorable weather and plentiful grain harvest by the dragon. 32．(2.5分)What can we learn about the Longtaitou Festival?

Orchids are cherished in both countries and in Chinese tradition are regarded as one of the “Four Gentlemen of Flowers,” symbolising “integrity, resilience 58(1.5分) a noble character.” They are also sensitive 59(1.5分) environmental change, reminding people of plant conservation and international scientific 60(1.5分) (collaborate).

The noisy hall was filled with a mix of languages and the smell of foods from around the world. I was sitting with my new classmates — Tom, Jacob, and Lizzy, exchange students from the UK and the US. As I placed my tray (托盘) down, I noticed their trays were quite different from mine. Each had their own plate of food: Tom had a sandwich, Jacob had salad, and Lizzy had noodles. My tray, however, held three different dishes — fish, fried cabbage, and sweet and sour pork — all meant to be shared. “Wow, that’s a lot of food! Are you expecting someone else to share with?” Jacob said, eyeing my tray. I laughed. “No, this is just for me and whoever wants to try. In China, we usually order several dishes and share them. We eat together from the same plates in the center of a round table.” Lizzy frowned (皱眉) slightly. “But isn’t that… a bit unhygienic (不卫生的)?” she asked carefully. “I mean, using your own chopsticks to pick food from a public plate?” Then, Tom said, “And it must be so noisy! My idea of a good meal is a quiet, peaceful environment where I can enjoy my own food. Chinese restaurants are always noisy. I don’t like it.” Jacob added, “I value my personal space, even at the dinner table. Having my own plate feels right.” Hearing their honest but critical (批判的) views, I felt a wave of defence rise within me. I wanted to immediately explain why they were wrong about us. I took a deep breath and chose to listen instead. I asked them more about their dining habits and why they valued individual plates and quiet atmospheres. They explained how meals were a private time. The more they talked, the more I understood them. It wasn’t that our way was wrong; it was just different. I realized I had an important task ahead of me. Next week, our school was holding an International Culture Sharing Fair (分享会), and I decided to show something about the deeper meaning of our dining around a round table. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: At the fair, I stood before my classmates, with a picture of a crowded, happy Chinese round table on the screen. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When I finished, Tom, Jacob and Lizzy nodded in agreement. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 3 Celebrations（较难版02）（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What are the speakers mainly talking about?

It is so popular that it is now celebrated in countries all over the world. Everywhere from Canada to the middle east. However, it pains me to realize how poorly Oktoberfest is understood. As I grew up in northern Bavaria, the state in the south of Germany. Where the festival began. This important cultural event is often seen as nothing more than a celebration of drinking and a wild party. Although local beer is certainly a large part of the celebrations, I would argue that Oktoberfest is so much more than that. The first October fest celebrated the marriage of the future king Ludwig I and queen Therese in 1810. Now, more than two centuries later, Oktoberfest is a celebration of Bavarian culture as a whole. It’s a time to wear traditional clothes, dance and sing to traditional music and eat special foods. Most importantly, Oktoberfest is a celebration of Joy. At the festival’s heart is the idea of communicating a general feeling of friendship and togetherness. That is the real meaning of Oktoberfest. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）From: Hiro Katana <hirokboss@email.com> To: Rachel Baines <Rachel. baines@email.com> Re: Shhh...

To him, cooking is a waste of time, and delivered food is far more convenient. Last summer vacation, my husband and I set a family rule: We would cook a full meal together every weekend instead of ordering online. Our first cooking weekend started badly. Eric sighed the moment we asked him to help. “Why cook ourselves when food arrives in minutes?” he complained. We divided tasks clearly: I washed greens, my husband cut meat, and Eric sliced potatoes and mixed condiments (调味料). At first, he spilled salt and cut uneven slices. After several tries, he got the hang of the work. When steaming dishes filled the table, Eric stared in surprise. He never expected simple team work to create such tasty food. I still remember learning cooking as a teen. My mother let me help in the kitchen daily after school. I kept a notebook recording steps and mistakes to track my small progress. Back then housework felt boring, yet those repeated hands-on jobs slowly built my sense of responsibility. Home cooking brings many challenges. Fresh food goes bad easily, and different dishes require different skills. The whole process has over ten steps, with cleaning ingredients (食材) and heat control being the most important. Cleaning guarantees food safety, and proper heat improves flavor. After months of weekend practice, we won a small prize at the community family activity. Each weekend offers a new cooking experience. On a rainy day, we tried grandma’s traditional local dish. Its complex steps defeated us three times before we got the right taste. Whenever our dishes tasted terrible, my notebook helped us find mistakes quickly. Up to now, Eric has joined over forty cooking activities. “If we fully depend on takeout, we will miss chances to learn practical life skills. I no longer dislike kitchen work. The more I cook with the family, the more useful lessons I gain,’ Eric said. 24．(2.5分)What used to be Eric’s main choice of food at home alone? A．Home-made meals. B．Ordered meals. C．Store-bought snacks. D．Grandma’s dishes. 25．(2.5分)How did Eric feel after finishing his kitchen work on the first weekend? A．Annoyed. B．Confused. C．Astonished. D．Regretful. 26．(2.5分)What can be inferred about the author’s notebook? A．It helped her improve cooking skills. B．It won a community activity prize. C．It recorded grandma’s traditional dishes. D．It marked down her progress. 27．(2.5分)What has Eric come to realize about cooking? A．Takeout brings great convenience. B．Cooking needs complex steps. C．Traditional dishes taste better. D．Labor benefits teens’ growth. 【答案】24．B 25．C 26．A 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者一家周末共同做饭，儿子埃里克从偏爱外卖爱上下厨并收获成长。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My teenage son Eric prefers takeout whenever staying home alone.(我十几岁的儿子埃里克独自在家时总偏爱外卖。)”可知，埃里克独自在家时主要选择外卖。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When steaming dishes filled the table, Eric stared in surprise.(热气腾腾的菜肴摆满餐桌时，埃里克吃惊地瞪大了眼睛。)”可知做完第一顿饭后埃里克十分惊讶。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I still remember learning cooking as a teen. My mother let me help in the kitchen daily after school. I kept a notebook recording steps and mistakes to track my small progress.(我至今还记得年少时学做饭的经历。母亲每天放学后都会让我在厨房打下手。我记了一本笔记，记录步骤与失误，以此记录自己微小的进步。)”可知这本笔记帮作者复盘失误、记录进步，提升厨艺。故选A项。 27．推理判断题。根据第六段中的“If we fully depend on takeout, we will miss chances to learn practical life skills. I no longer dislike kitchen work. The more I cook with the family, the more useful lessons I gain.(如果我们完全依赖外卖，就会错失学习实用生活技能的机会。我不再讨厌厨房活，和家人做饭越多，收获的有益道理就越多。)”可推出埃里克意识到下厨劳作对青少年成长有益。 （本题10分）If you’ve been to a birthday party, you’ve probably seen it: the cake comes out, the candles are lit, the room sings, and the birthday person makes a wish before blowing them out. However, this moment didn’t start as just a party tradition. The simple act of blowing out birthday candles carries a rich history dating back thousands of years to ancient Greece, where people honored Artemis, goddess of the moon, with round honey cakes called “nouton-gonosupahon”. Historians like Marie Nicola suggest candlelight likely represented moonlight during lunar celebrations. “Fire represented the presence (存在) of gods across Indo-European cultures,” notes Nicola. As Greek customs spread, the Romans later absorbed many of these practices, introducing round cakes and candlelit offerings into birthday celebrations as their empire expanded (扩张). By the Middle Ages, Germans developed their own candle tradition through Kinderfest, a traditional festival celebrating children. People back then believed children were easily hurt by bad spirits on their birthdays. So the candles were left to burn throughout the day until the evening meal, and their smoke was believed to have protective power and carry the child’s wishes to heaven. German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s 1799 account of his 52nd birthday cake with 50 candles marks one of the earliest documented uses matching modern practice. The 19th century saw the tradition develop quickly. Swiss records from 1881 described cakes with candles representing each year of life — the first clear documentation of today’s celebration. Germans then brought the custom to America, where it gained new meaning: blowing out all candles in one breath ensured wishes come true. Mass production and media promoted the tradition worldwide. By the 1920s, numbered candle sets began to be sold, while Disney’s 1931 Mickey Mouse cartoon The Birthday Party strengthened the image in popular culture. After World War Ⅱ, American consumer culture exported the candle-blowing tradition globally, through tourism, kids’ media, and big brands, from Japan adopting it in the 1950s to Hallmark cards featuring candle imagery. What began as spiritual protection became a universal celebration of life-proving, and even ancient celebrations can develop into joyful traditions. As Nicola reflects, “That single breath blowing out candles still carries shadows of ancient prayers, now transformed into wishes for the future.” 28．(2.5分)What may early Greek candlelight stand for? A．The beauty of natural sunlight. B．The goddess’ existence. C．The power to keep people healthy. D．Symbols of Roman expansion. 29．(2.5分)Why did Germans keep candles burning all day on kids’ birthdays? A．To drive away evil spirits. B．To celebrate a good harvest. C．To record the child’s growth. D．To decorate holiday desserts. 30．(2.5分)Which of the following helped spread the custom globally? A．The detailed Swiss cake records. B．The growing popularity of cartoons. C．Industrial production and media influence. D．The publication of famous German books. 31．(2.5分)What does the text mainly talk about? A．Various ancient Greek religious gods. B．Origin and development of cake candles. C．Special practices to remember big days. D．Different birthday celebrations worldwide. 【答案】28．B 29．A 30．C 31．B 【导语】文章追溯了生日蛋糕蜡烛习俗的起源与发展：从古希腊用烛光代表女神存在，到中世纪德国用蜡烛驱邪，再到近代通过工业生产和媒体传播成为全球性传统，最终演变为现代生日许愿的仪式。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Historians like Marie Nicola suggest candlelight likely represented moonlight during lunar celebrations. “Fire represented the presence (存在) of gods across Indo-European cultures,” notes Nicola. (历史学家如Marie Nicola认为，烛光可能代表月神庆典中的月光。Nicola指出：“火在印欧文化中代表神的存在。”)”可知，这象征着女神的存在。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段中“People back then believed children were easily hurt by bad spirits on their birthdays. So the candles were left to burn throughout the day until the evening meal, and their smoke was believed to have protective power and carry the child’s wishes to heaven. (那时的人们认为孩子在生日时容易被恶灵伤害。因此蜡烛会一直燃烧到晚餐时间，人们相信烟雾具有保护力量，并能将孩子的愿望带向天堂。)”可知，这种做法是为了驱赶恶灵。 30．细节理解题。根据第五段中“Mass production and media promoted the tradition worldwide. By the 1920s, numbered candle sets began to be sold, while Disney’s 1931 Mickey Mouse cartoon The Birthday Party strengthened the image in popular culture. (大规模生产和媒体推动了这一传统在全球的传播。到20世纪20年代，编号的蜡烛套装开始销售，而迪士尼1931年的米老鼠卡通片《生日派对》强化了其在流行文化中的形象。)”可知，工业生产和媒体影响帮助将这种习俗传播到全球。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“However, this moment didn’t start as just a party tradition. (然而，这一时刻并非仅仅源于派对的传统。)”和最后一段中“What began as spiritual protection became a universal celebration of life-proving, and even ancient celebrations can develop into joyful traditions. (最初作为精神保护的仪式，逐渐演变为对生命意义的普遍庆祝，即便是古老的庆典，也能发展成充满喜悦的传统。)”可知，文章首先引出生日蛋糕蜡烛这一习俗，随后按时间顺序介绍古希腊起源（第二段）、中世纪德国习俗（第三段）、19世纪发展（第四段）到20世纪全球传播（第五段），最后总结其意义，全文围绕“蛋糕蜡烛的起源与发展”展开。 （本题10分）The Longtaitou Festival, which means “the dragon raises its head” in Chinese, is a traditional Chinese festival held on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. So, it’s also called the Eryue’er Festival. In Chinese culture, the dragon is an auspicious (吉利的) animal that dominates clouds and rain.

The noisy hall was filled with a mix of languages and the smell of foods from around the world. I was sitting with my new classmates — Tom, Jacob, and Lizzy, exchange students from the UK and the US. As I placed my tray (托盘) down, I noticed their trays were quite different from mine. Each had their own plate of food: Tom had a sandwich, Jacob had salad, and Lizzy had noodles. My tray, however, held three different dishes — fish, fried cabbage, and sweet and sour pork — all meant to be shared. “Wow, that’s a lot of food! Are you expecting someone else to share with?” Jacob said, eyeing my tray. I laughed. “No, this is just for me and whoever wants to try. In China, we usually order several dishes and share them. We eat together from the same plates in the center of a round table.” Lizzy frowned (皱眉) slightly. “But isn’t that… a bit unhygienic (不卫生的)?” she asked carefully. “I mean, using your own chopsticks to pick food from a public plate?” Then, Tom said, “And it must be so noisy! My idea of a good meal is a quiet, peaceful environment where I can enjoy my own food. Chinese restaurants are always noisy. I don’t like it.” Jacob added, “I value my personal space, even at the dinner table. Having my own plate feels right.” Hearing their honest but critical (批判的) views, I felt a wave of defence rise within me. I wanted to immediately explain why they were wrong about us. I took a deep breath and chose to listen instead. I asked them more about their dining habits and why they valued individual plates and quiet atmospheres. They explained how meals were a private time. The more they talked, the more I understood them. It wasn’t that our way was wrong; it was just different. I realized I had an important task ahead of me. Next week, our school was holding an International Culture Sharing Fair (分享会), and I decided to show something about the deeper meaning of our dining around a round table. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: At the fair, I stood before my classmates, with a picture of a crowded, happy Chinese round table on the screen. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When I finished, Tom, Jacob and Lizzy nodded in agreement. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 At the fair, I stood before my classmates, with a picture of a crowded, happy Chinese round table on the screen. I gently explained that Chinese shared dining is never merely about food itself. It carries deep cultural meanings of unity, warmth and harmony. A round table allows everyone to sit equally without strict rank, and sharing dishes symbolizes mutual care and closeness among family and friends. The lively chatter during meals is not noisy at all, but a natural way to exchange feelings and strengthen bonds. Besides, we actually have serving chopsticks to keep it clean, which many foreigners fail to notice at first. When I finished, Tom, Jacob and Lizzy nodded in agreement. They apologized for judging our dining culture hastily based only on their own habits. They admitted they had ignored the rich cultural values behind our eating way. They were eager to experience a real Chinese round-table dinner with me on weekends. This experience made me realize that cultural respect lies in listening and understanding, not blind judgment. Differences in lifestyle should be appreciated rather than criticized. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和外国同学就餐时，因中西聚餐方式不同引发对方质疑。作者没有急于辩解，而是选择倾听理解差异，并在校国际文化分享会上讲解中式圆桌合餐背后平等和睦、温情联结的文化内涵，还介绍了公筷习惯。外国同学表示理解并愿意体验，也让作者懂得要以包容心态尊重不同文化差异。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者在校国际文化分享会上讲解中式圆桌合餐背后平等和睦、温情联结的文化内涵，还介绍了公筷习惯。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写外国同学表示理解并愿意体验，也让作者懂得要以包容心态尊重不同文化差异。 2.续写线索：解释用餐文化——介绍公筷习惯——同学理解——愿意体验——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①忽视：ignore/overlook ②象征：symbolize/represent 情绪类 ①温柔地：gently/softly ②渴望的：eager/keen 【点睛】[高分句型1] I gently explained that Chinese shared dining is never merely about food itself.（运用了that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] Besides, we actually have serving chopsticks to keep it clean, which many foreigners fail to notice at first.（运用了which引导非限制性定语从句） 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
