The whole month of June is filled with block parties, street parties, and even school parties in honor of the harvest. It is Festa Junina, or the June Festival. Since the beginning of the month, I have heard people talking about their plans to attend these parties, of which eating, drinking, and dancing are the main goals. As a foreigner, I’ve come to realize that this is an important time in Brazil — yet it’s largely unknown to outsiders. Near my house, in the local park, I noticed decorations being put up. I thought it would be a perfect chance to experience this special festival myself. After my students described Festa Junina in their own words, two curious colleagues (同事) and I decided to go to the party on Saturday night. Upon arrival, I noticed the party was decorated with cute, colorful flags and lanterns. It was much more crowded than I had expected — people from all walks of life were there to celebrate the festival together. The men wore plaid (格子图案) shirts, jeans, straw hats, and boots, just like farmers, while the women wore dresses with flower or plaid prints, along with straw hats decorated with flowers and hair bows. There were food stands selling many types of typical Brazilian “Northeast country” dishes. Typical foods are often made with corn or peanuts, which are present in the main meals in Brazil. I tried canjica, a type of corn pudding. The native band played songs in a local music style called forró, and people gathered together on the dance floor, waiting for someone — even a stranger — to ask them to dance. As for me, I tried to dance, but I had eaten so much hearty food that I found it hard to keep up with the rhythm (节奏). Still, it was great fun, and I’m glad to have had the chance to see how Brazilians celebrate this time-honored festival! 24．(2.5分)What made the author have the idea of attending Festa Junina?

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.

Literally (根据字面意思) “Fifth of May”, Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday celebrating the Battle of Puebla, which took place on May 5, 1862. In 1861, France sent a big army to invade Mexico, as they wanted to collect some war debts. The French army was much larger, better trained and equipped than the Mexicans struggling to defend (保卫) the road to Mexico City. The French army reached Puebla, where the Mexicans won a huge victory. The victory was short­lived, as the French army regrouped and continued, and eventually took Mexico City, but the joy of an unlikely victory against France is remembered every May fifth. Mexico celebrates its independence on September 16, because it was on that day in 1810 that Miguel Hidalgo invited his people to take up arms and join him in fighting against Spanish rulers. Independence Day is a much more important holiday in Mexico. For some reason, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated more in the United States of America, by Mexicans and Americans alike, than it is in Mexico. One theory for why it is more popular in the USA is that at one time, it was celebrated in all of Mexico and by Mexicans living in former Mexican areas such as Texas and California. It was ignored in Mexico after a while but still celebrated in the north of the border, which never got out of the habit of remembering the famous battle. In Puebla and in many American cities with large Mexican populations, there are parades, dancing and festivals. Traditional Mexican food is often served or sold. Mariachi (街头音乐) bands fill town squares, and a lot of beers are served. It’s a fun holiday, really more about celebrating the Mexican way of life than about remembering the battle which happened 157 years ago. In the USA, schoolchildren decorate their classrooms and try their hand at cooking some basic Mexican food. All over the world, Mexican restaurants bring in mariachi bands and offer specials for what’s almost certain to be a packed house. 32．(2.5分)Why do more Americans celebrate Cinco de Mayo? A．Some American areas once belonged to Mexico. B．Americans are influenced by Mexican culture. C．Mexicans don’t form the habit of having a holiday. D．Many Mexicans value Independence Day. 33．(2.5分)How can schoolchildren celebrate Cinco de Mayo? A．By performing music at restaurants. B．By trying making some Mexican food. C．By turning the classroom into a battlefield. D．By offering special gifts to their teachers. 34．(2.5分)By celebrating Cinco de Mayo, people mainly show ________. A．where the history is honored most B．what special customs they have C．how Mexicans gained independence D．who should be remembered forever 35．(2.5分)According to the passage, people celebrate Cinco de Mayo because Mexicans ________. A．paid off their war debts B．succeeded in defending Mexico City C．gained independence from Spanish D．defeated the French army in Puebla （本题12.5分）In Brazil, a nation famous for its diverse party culture, various celebrations are held in its northern regions during the cool season to mark the annual corn harvest. The whole month of June witnesses community gatherings, street carnivals and school activities all in celebration of this fruitful season. 36(2.5分) Since early June, I have overheard many locals talking about their arrangements for these get-togethers, where feasting and dancing have always been the central activities. As a foreign resident, I’ve come to realize that this is an important time in Brazil, though it rarely draws attention from the outside world. 37(2.5分) Noticing festive decorations going up in the nearby park, it suddenly hit me that I could take this wonderful opportunity to get a firsthand experience of the unique local culture. Encouraged by my students’ vivid descriptions about the festival, I went to the weekend party together with two equally curious colleagues. Upon arrival, I noticed the party was decorated with cute, colorful flags and lanterns. It was much more crowded than I had expected. 38(2.5分) The men wore jeans, straw hats, and boots, just like farmers, while the women wore dresses with flower or plaid prints, along with straw hats decorated with flowers and hair bows. 39(2.5分) Most of the local delicacies are made from corn and peanuts, two staple ingredients in Brazilian daily diet. I even tasted canjica, a popular sweet corn pudding loved by the locals. Every second spent at this vibrant Festa Junina celebration was absolutely unforgettable. Local musicians played forró, a distinctive folk music, and people on the dance floor invited each other to dance freely. I joined them happily, yet the heavy meal I had eaten earlier made it tough for me to follow the fast dance steps. 40(2.5分) A．However, I enjoyed every moment of it. B．Plenty of stands served typical food of rural Brazil. C．This time-honored tradition is known as Festa Junina. D．Yet I would never have enough of the local ingredients.

However, it troubled me a lot, making my study life there full of twists. For me, a Chinese student, I made it a daily must to use chopsticks. When I ate in the school canteen every day, chopsticks helped me enjoy food happily. However, it was just then that the foreign classmates surrounded me immediately, looked at me with curiosity and whispered in confusion: “My goodness, the strange chopsticks!” At first, I would smile and briefly tell them how to use chopsticks. But with the thing staying unchanged, the stranger my classmates felt, the more uncomfortable I felt. It was the cultural difference that made it. Eventually, I doubted if I would give up using chopsticks and learn to use a knife and fork instead. Once we had a dinner, everyone sat in the restaurant. I couldn’t help reaching out for chopsticks. Mike, who was in the same group, saw this and shouted excitedly, “Look, the strange chopsticks!” As he spoke, he took a pair of chopsticks and awkwardly used them. But before the food was picked up, the chopsticks dropped on the floor. The chaotic laughing exploded while my face was flushed with embarrassment. Eating with my head lowered, I was in low spirits. I came to realize that in their opinion, chopsticks were just a strange tool, and my using chopsticks here simply became a laughing stock (笑柄). Nevertheless, I loved chopsticks carrying Chinese traditional culture from the bottom of my heart. As time went by, others kept misunderstanding chopsticks. I smiled casually, but deep down I worried that using them would never be accepted here. And I tried to avoid using chopsticks in public, even learned to use knife and fork in the following days. To my great surprise, the school expected everyone to prepare for the annually-held culture-sharing event. I was at a loss. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The culture-sharing event was approaching. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was well prepared to share the chopsticks culture in the event. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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（较易版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 does the woman ask the man to do?

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 Oktoberfest 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）For food-loving travelers, international food festivals are wonderful gateways to explore different cultures.

The whole month of June is filled with block parties, street parties, and even school parties in honor of the harvest. It is Festa Junina, or the June Festival. Since the beginning of the month, I have heard people talking about their plans to attend these parties, of which eating, drinking, and dancing are the main goals. As a foreigner, I’ve come to realize that this is an important time in Brazil — yet it’s largely unknown to outsiders. Near my house, in the local park, I noticed decorations being put up. I thought it would be a perfect chance to experience this special festival myself. After my students described Festa Junina in their own words, two curious colleagues (同事) and I decided to go to the party on Saturday night. Upon arrival, I noticed the party was decorated with cute, colorful flags and lanterns. It was much more crowded than I had expected — people from all walks of life were there to celebrate the festival together. The men wore plaid (格子图案) shirts, jeans, straw hats, and boots, just like farmers, while the women wore dresses with flower or plaid prints, along with straw hats decorated with flowers and hair bows. There were food stands selling many types of typical Brazilian “Northeast country” dishes. Typical foods are often made with corn or peanuts, which are present in the main meals in Brazil. I tried canjica, a type of corn pudding. The native band played songs in a local music style called forró, and people gathered together on the dance floor, waiting for someone — even a stranger — to ask them to dance. As for me, I tried to dance, but I had eaten so much hearty food that I found it hard to keep up with the rhythm (节奏). Still, it was great fun, and I’m glad to have had the chance to see how Brazilians celebrate this time-honored festival! 24．(2.5分)What made the author have the idea of attending Festa Junina? A．Her colleagues’ description. B．The dream to understand others. C．Her wish to fit in with the locals.

B．She was too full to dance well. C．The dance was hard to learn. D．The floor was too crowded. 27．(2.5分)What does the text mainly talk about? A．A foreigner’s first visit to Brazil. B．Winter parties for the corn harvest. C．Native Brazilian food and dance. D．Experiencing the June Festival in Brazil. 【答案】24．D 25．A 26．B 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在巴西体验六月节的经历。 24．细节理解题。根据第二段“Near my house, in the local park, I noticed decorations being put up. I thought it would be a perfect chance to experience this special festival myself.(在我家附近的当地公园里，我注意到正在布置装饰。我想这将是我自己体验这个特别节日的绝佳机会)”可知，热闹的庆祝氛围让作者有了参加六月节的想法。故选D。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段中“The men wore plaid (格子图案) shirts, jeans, straw hats, and boots, just like farmers, while the women wore dresses with flower or plaid prints, along with straw hats decorated with flowers and hair bows.(男人们穿着格子衬衫、牛仔裤、草帽和靴子，就像农民一样，而女人们则穿着带有花卉或格子图案的连衣裙，戴着装饰有花朵和发带的草帽)”以及第四段“There were food stands selling many types of typical Brazilian “Northeast country” dishes. Typical foods are often made with corn or peanuts, which are present in the main meals in Brazil. I tried canjica, a type of corn pudding.(有卖许多种典型的巴西“东北乡村”菜肴的食品摊。典型的食物通常用玉米或花生制成，这在巴西的主食中很常见。我尝试了canjica，一种玉米布丁)”可推知，六月节具有巴西乡村文化特色。故选A。 26．细节理解题。根据最后一段“As for me, I tried to dance, but I had eaten so much hearty food that I found it hard to keep up with the rhythm (节奏).(至于我，我试着跳舞，但我吃了太多丰盛的食物，发现很难跟上节奏)”可知，作者因为吃得太饱而无法跳好舞。故选B。 27．主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是第二段“Near my house, in the local park, I noticed decorations being put up. I thought it would be a perfect chance to experience this special festival myself.(在我家附近的当地公园里，我注意到正在布置装饰。我想这将是我自己体验这个特别节日的绝佳机会)”以及最后一段“Still, it was great fun, and I’m glad to have had the chance to see how Brazilians celebrate this time-honored festival!(尽管如此，这还是非常有趣的，我很高兴有机会看到巴西人如何庆祝这个历史悠久的节日！)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者在巴西体验六月节的经历。故选D。 （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. So, on that day, barbershops’ (理发店的) business is growing and they are full of customers. 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.

After the day, spring is coming and there will be more and more rain.(因此这一天被称为龙抬头节。在这一天之后，春天即将来临，雨水也会越来越多)”可知，龙抬头节暗示着春天的回归。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段“It is thought to be auspicious to cut hair on Dragon Head - raising Day. Luck and opportunities will always knock you in the year.(人们认为在龙抬头节理发是吉祥的。在这一年里，运气和机会总会降临)”可知，人们在龙抬头节理发是因为这是他们对运气和机会的期望。 30．推理判断题。根据第三段“These show people's hope of being blessed(保佑) with favorable weather and plentiful grain harvest by the dragon.(这些食物表达了人们希望得到龙的庇佑，有好天气和粮食丰收的愿望)”可知，庆祝节日的食物通常承载着人们的美好祝愿。 31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“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.(龙抬头节，在汉语中意为 “龙抬头”，是中国传统节日，在农历二月初二庆祝)”文章围绕龙抬头节展开，介绍了其名称由来、习俗、相关食物等多方面内容，所以A选项“The Longtaitou Festival.”(龙抬头节)最适合作为文章标题。 （本题10分）Cinco de Mayo is probably the holiday most often celebrated that no one understands. Literally (根据字面意思) “Fifth of May”, Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday celebrating the Battle of Puebla, which took place on May 5, 1862. In 1861, France sent a big army to invade Mexico, as they wanted to collect some war debts. The French army was much larger, better trained and equipped than the Mexicans struggling to defend (保卫) the road to Mexico City. The French army reached Puebla, where the Mexicans won a huge victory. The victory was short­lived, as the French army regrouped and continued, and eventually took Mexico City, but the joy of an unlikely victory against France is remembered every May fifth. Mexico celebrates its independence on September 16, because it was on that day in 1810 that Miguel Hidalgo invited his people to take up arms and join him in fighting against Spanish rulers. Independence Day is a much more important holiday in Mexico. For some reason, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated more in the United States of America, by Mexicans and Americans alike, than it is in Mexico. One theory for why it is more popular in the USA is that at one time, it was celebrated in all of Mexico and by Mexicans living in former Mexican areas such as Texas and California. It was ignored in Mexico after a while but still celebrated in the north of the border, which never got out of the habit of remembering the famous battle. In Puebla and in many American cities with large Mexican populations, there are parades, dancing and festivals. Traditional Mexican food is often served or sold. Mariachi (街头音乐) bands fill town squares, and a lot of beers are served. It’s a fun holiday, really more about celebrating the Mexican way of life than about remembering the battle which happened 157 years ago. In the USA, schoolchildren decorate their classrooms and try their hand at cooking some basic Mexican food. All over the world, Mexican restaurants bring in mariachi bands and offer specials for what’s almost certain to be a packed house. 32．(2.5分)Why do more Americans celebrate Cinco de Mayo? A．Some American areas once belonged to Mexico. B．Americans are influenced by Mexican culture. C．Mexicans don’t form the habit of having a holiday. D．Many Mexicans value Independence Day. 33．(2.5分)How can schoolchildren celebrate Cinco de Mayo? A．By performing music at restaurants. B．By trying making some Mexican food. C．By turning the classroom into a battlefield. D．By offering special gifts to their teachers. 34．(2.5分)By celebrating Cinco de Mayo, people mainly show ________. A．where the history is honored most B．what special customs they have C．how Mexicans gained independence D．who should be remembered forever 35．(2.5分)According to the passage, people celebrate Cinco de Mayo because Mexicans ________. A．paid off their war debts B．succeeded in defending Mexico City C．gained independence from Spanish D．defeated the French army in Puebla 【答案】32．A 33．B 34．B 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了常常被庆祝的Cinco de Mayo（五月五日节）的历史由来，受到更多欢迎的原因，以及人们庆祝这个节日的方式。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第三段中“One theory for why it is more popular in the USA is that at one time, it was celebrated in all of Mexico and by Mexicans living in former Mexican areas such as Texas and California. (为什么它在美国更受欢迎的一个理论是，有一段时间，整个墨西哥以及生活在德克萨斯州和加利福尼亚州等前墨西哥地区的墨西哥人都会庆祝这个节日。)”可知，更多的美国人庆祝Cinco de Mayo是因为美国的德克萨斯州和加利福尼亚州等地区之前属于墨西哥，那里的墨西哥人会庆祝这个节日，即因为一些美国地区曾经属于墨西哥。故选A项。 33．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In the USA, schoolchildren decorate their classrooms and try their hand at cooking some basic Mexican food. (在美国，学生们装饰他们的教室，并尝试自己做一些基本的墨西哥食物。)”可知，学生们可以通过尝试做一些墨西哥食物来庆祝这个节日。故选B项。 34．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It’s a fun holiday, really more about celebrating the Mexican way of life than about remembering the battle which happened 157 years ago. (这是一个有趣的节日，更多的是庆祝墨西哥人的生活方式，而不是纪念157年前发生的那场战争。)”可知，人们在这个节日更多的是庆祝墨西哥人的生活方式，也就是展示他们特殊的风俗习惯。故选B项。 35．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Literally (根据字面意思) “Fifth of May”, Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday celebrating the Battle of Puebla, which took place on May 5, 1862. (字面意思是“五月五日”，Cinco de Mayo是墨西哥的节日，庆祝1862年5月5日发生的普埃布拉战役。)”和“The French army reached Puebla, where the Mexicans won a huge victory. The victory was short­lived, as the French army regrouped and continued, and eventually took Mexico City, but the joy of an unlikely victory against France is remembered every May fifth. (法国军队到达了普埃布拉，墨西哥人在那里取得了巨大的胜利。这场胜利是短暂的，因为法国军队重新集结并继续前进，最终占领了墨西哥城，但每年的5月5日，人们都会记住这场对法国不太可能的胜利带来的喜悦。)”可知，人们庆祝这个节日是因为墨西哥人曾在历史上的这一天在普埃布拉击败了法国军队。故选D项。 （本题12.5分）In Brazil, a nation famous for its diverse party culture, various celebrations are held in its northern regions during the cool season to mark the annual corn harvest. The whole month of June witnesses community gatherings, street carnivals and school activities all in celebration of this fruitful season. 36(2.5分) Since early June, I have overheard many locals talking about their arrangements for these get-togethers, where feasting and dancing have always been the central activities. As a foreign resident, I’ve come to realize that this is an important time in Brazil, though it rarely draws attention from the outside world. 37(2.5分) Noticing festive decorations going up in the nearby park, it suddenly hit me that I could take this wonderful opportunity to get a firsthand experience of the unique local culture. Encouraged by my students’ vivid descriptions about the festival, I went to the weekend party together with two equally curious colleagues. Upon arrival, I noticed the party was decorated with cute, colorful flags and lanterns. It was much more crowded than I had expected. 38(2.5分) The men wore jeans, straw hats, and boots, just like farmers, while the women wore dresses with flower or plaid prints, along with straw hats decorated with flowers and hair bows. 39(2.5分) Most of the local delicacies are made from corn and peanuts, two staple ingredients in Brazilian daily diet. I even tasted canjica, a popular sweet corn pudding loved by the locals. Every second spent at this vibrant Festa Junina celebration was absolutely unforgettable. Local musicians played forró, a distinctive folk music, and people on the dance floor invited each other to dance freely. I joined them happily, yet the heavy meal I had eaten earlier made it tough for me to follow the fast dance steps. 40(2.5分) A．However, I enjoyed every moment of it. B．Plenty of stands served typical food of rural Brazil. C．This time-honored tradition is known as Festa Junina. D．Yet I would never have enough of the local ingredients. E．This special festival attracts tourists across the world annually. F．I wondered how I might get involved in such precious local events.

However, it troubled me a lot, making my study life there full of twists. For me, a Chinese student, I made it a daily must to use chopsticks. When I ate in the school canteen every day, chopsticks helped me enjoy food happily. However, it was just then that the foreign classmates surrounded me immediately, looked at me with curiosity and whispered in confusion: “My goodness, the strange chopsticks!” At first, I would smile and briefly tell them how to use chopsticks. But with the thing staying unchanged, the stranger my classmates felt, the more uncomfortable I felt. It was the cultural difference that made it. Eventually, I doubted if I would give up using chopsticks and learn to use a knife and fork instead. Once we had a dinner, everyone sat in the restaurant. I couldn’t help reaching out for chopsticks. Mike, who was in the same group, saw this and shouted excitedly, “Look, the strange chopsticks!” As he spoke, he took a pair of chopsticks and awkwardly used them. But before the food was picked up, the chopsticks dropped on the floor. The chaotic laughing exploded while my face was flushed with embarrassment. Eating with my head lowered, I was in low spirits. I came to realize that in their opinion, chopsticks were just a strange tool, and my using chopsticks here simply became a laughing stock (笑柄). Nevertheless, I loved chopsticks carrying Chinese traditional culture from the bottom of my heart. As time went by, others kept misunderstanding chopsticks. I smiled casually, but deep down I worried that using them would never be accepted here. And I tried to avoid using chopsticks in public, even learned to use knife and fork in the following days. To my great surprise, the school expected everyone to prepare for the annually-held culture-sharing event. I was at a loss. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The culture-sharing event was approaching. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was well prepared to share the chopsticks culture in the event. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The culture-sharing event was approaching. It warmly welcomed the exchange students to take part. I imagined what a golden opportunity it was to show Chinese chopsticks culture! Hesitant and indecisive, I was deeply torn. At the thought of chopsticks carrying Chinese culture, I felt my indecisiveness disappearing all at once. “Why not remove my classmates’ misunderstanding and clear their confusion?” lingered in my mind. Subsequently, I was busying myself composing a speech on Chinese chopsticks. Time flying like an arrow, the event eventually kicked off. I was well prepared to share the chopsticks culture in the event. The enthusiastic classmates surrounding me tightly were listening with the intense interest twinkling in their eyes. Abruptly, Mike said “I misunderstood you. Now, I know chopsticks carry Chinese culture.” “Surely, chopsticks symbolize harmony, unity and coexistence,” responded I. Seeing everyone immersed in the ocean of happiness, I felt a wave of warmth coursing through me. I came to know that the culture-sharing event really meant promoting the cross-cultural communication and bridging the cultural divide. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了中国留学生在澳大利亚坚持使用筷子，却屡遭外国同学围观、嘲笑，被视为"奇怪工具"。一次晚餐上同学迈克尝试用筷子失败引来哄笑，作者深感尴尬，逐渐改用刀叉、回避公开使用筷子。然而学校突然宣布举办年度文化分享活动，作者在犹豫与纠结中，最终决定借此机会展示筷子背后的中国传统文化，在活动中消除误解、赢得理解。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者面对活动契机的心理转变，从犹豫纠结到下定决心借助活动科普筷子文化，进而积极筹备分享演讲稿的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者现场分享的场景、同学态度的转变、迈克的真诚致歉，以及作者最终领悟文化交流、打破隔阂的真谛。 2. 续写线索： 活动临近——内心纠结——坚定初心——积极筹备演讲——现场分享文化——同学改观致歉——领悟文化交流意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①消失：disappear/vanish ②专心筹备：busy oneself doing / prepare thoroughly 情绪类 ①热情的：enthusiastic/fervent ②温暖动容：feel a wave of warmth /feel heartwarming 【点睛】【高分句型1】Hesitant and indecisive, I was deeply torn.
