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）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. 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. 28．(2.5分)What can we learn about the Longtaitou Festival? A．It is celebrated for two days. B．It dates back to the Song Dynasty. C．It suggests the return of spring.

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.” 32．(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. 33．(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. 34．(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. 35．(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12.5分）Traditional festivals are an important part of human culture and civilization. Across the globe, people gather to celebrate, remember, and honor customs that have been handed down through generations. 36(2.5分) Here, we explore why people celebrate traditional festivals worldwide. One of the primary reasons traditional festivals are celebrated is to preserve and promote cultural heritage. Festivals act as living museums where customs, art forms, music, dance, clothing, and other traditions come alive. 37(2.5分) For example, the Chinese New Year is full of special traditions that respect ancestors and bring good luck. Traditional festivals often match seasonal cycles and farming patterns (模式). Historically, agricultural communities depended heavily on nature’s cycles for planting and harvesting crops. Festivals marked key points in these cycles to give thanks for good harvests or to pray for good weather. Examples include the Mid-Autumn Festival which celebrates the harvest moon. 38(2.5分) Festivals provide a stage for cultural expression where music, dance, handmade works, and local food are shown with great excitement. These creative activities help keep old art forms alive while also bringing in new ideas. 39(2.5分) Young people can learn these skills from older family members at festivals. This helps pass traditions to the next generation. 40(2.5分) Festivals improve local economy by creating demand for goods such as handmade items, local food, traditional clothes, hotels, bus and taxi services, and more. Small family businesses can earn more during festival times. This helps improve people’s living standards in the community. A．Festivals are symbols of new beginnings. B．Many traditional festivals have deep religious roots. C．These festivals are different but share common reasons. D．They remind communities of their shared history and identity. E．Many festivals have also become important for business today. F．They make cultures more colorful and different from each other. G．Such human activities show respect for nature’s influence on survival. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）When I was a child, my family lived in a small house near the woods. Every evening, my grandmother would sit on the porch and tell me stories about her youth. She had lived through hard times — wars, poverty, and the loss of loved ones.

Now, whenever I face a 52 situation, I ask myself: “Where are the flowers in this garden?” Almost always, I find them. They may be small and 53 , but they are there.

From the end of April 57(1.5分) the beginning of May, thousands of people both at home and abroad celebrated the Monihei Carnival (“摸你黑”狂欢节) in Cangyuan Wa autonomous county in Yunnan. “Monihei” is the Mandarin pronunciation of the phrase “mohnin hei” 58(1.5分) (use) by the Wa ethnic group, meaning “This is 59(1.5分) we pursue and expect.

The streets were dotted with fresh green bamboo leaves, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of mugwort (艾蒿), announcing the arrival of the traditional festival. Seventeen-year-old Ethan, who had lived in the United States with his parents since childhood, was sent back to his hometown to spend the festival with his grandfather. Having grown up immersed in Western culture, Ethan held a strong sense of indifference towards traditional Chinese festivals. He regarded the Dragon Boat Festival as nothing but an old, outdated custom, far less attractive than Western carnivals and parties. All he wanted to do was stay in his room, scrolling through social media or playing online games, showing no interest in the festive atmosphere around him. Grandfather was a well-known local inheritor of traditional zongzi-making skills, and he had been eagerly looking forward to Ethan’s return, hoping to pass on the family craft and help his grandson connect with his cultural roots. He specially picked fresh bamboo leaves, prepared high-quality glutinous rice, sweet red beans and salty egg yolks, and invited Ethan to make zongzi with him. However, Ethan frowned and refused rudely without a second thought. He complained that making zongzi was tedious (冗长的) and time-consuming, and couldn’t understand why people still stuck to such old customs. Hearing his words, Grandfather’s smile faded away, and a deep sense of disappointment crossed his wrinkled face. He silently carried the ingredients to the courtyard, sitting alone on the stone bench, slowly folding the bamboo leaves. 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。 Paragraph 1: Watching Grandfather’s bent back in the courtyard, Ethan was seized with a complicated mixture of guilt and hesitation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As the steaming zongzi were taken out, the rich fragrance filled the whole courtyard, touching Ethan’s heart deeply. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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（适中版01）（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?

There are about 7,000 languages in the world, but more and more languages are disappearing at an alarming rate. And fewer than 100 of the world’s languages are used in the digital world. Everyone has the right to use their mother language, and to keep the memories, traditions and ways of thinking that their language represents. And this is what International Mother Language Day is all about. That’s all for today’s program. Thank you for listening! 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）The following events will make you want to pack your bags and join the fun. Holi Festival Holi turns cities into a sea of rainbow colors. People throw handfuls of colored powder at friends, family, and total strangers, while music, dancing, and laughter fill the streets. The festival celebrates the arrival of spring and the success. It happens on March 3. Wear white clothes if you don’t mind getting dirty, and prepare to be covered head-to-toe in every color imaginable. Wife-Carrying World Championship Competitors race through a difficult course while carrying their wife. The course includes water hazards (障碍), and sand traps that test strength, speed, and teamwork. Winners receive their wife’s weight in beer. It happens on July 3 and 4. Despite the traditional name, any couple can compete, and the event attracts teams from around the world eager to prove their carrying skills and sense of humor. Monkey Buffet Festival Tables piled high with fruit, vegetables, and snacks are laid out for Lopburi’s famous monkeys in a yearly feast that is both generous and makes for great photos. Hundreds of monkeys rush to the spread, creating a wild feeding competition that delights photographers and tourists. Typically held in late November, the 2026 event doesn’t have fixed dates yet. Night of the Radishes (萝卜) Artists in Oaxaca spend hours carving oversized radishes into well-designed historical figures and imaginary creatures, knowing their creations will dry out within a day. The time pressure makes the festival feel magical and short-lived, which is a special experience. It happens on December 23. It’s held yearly on the same date. Arrive early for the best views, because the detailed carvings are amazing but only last for a short time. 21．(2.5分)Which event needs both physical effort and teamwork? A．Holi Festival. B．Night of the Radishes. C．Monkey Buffet Festival. D．Wife-Carrying World Championship. 22．(2.5分)What can we infer about the Monkey Buffet Festival? A．It has a fixed activity schedule.

D．Carvings are donated for free. 【答案】21．D 22．B 23．C 【导语】文章主要介绍了四个有趣的节日活动及其特色与时间安排。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据Wife-Carrying World Championship部分中“Competitors race through a difficult course while carrying their wife. The course includes water hazards (障碍), and sand traps that test strength, speed, and teamwork.(参赛者们扛着妻子，穿越充满挑战的赛道。赛道设有水上障碍与沙坑，考验选手的力量、速度与团队协作能力。)”可知，该活动需要体力和团队合作。 22．推理判断题。根据Monkey Buffet Festival部分中“Typically held in late November, the 2026 event doesn’t have fixed dates yet.(这项活动通常在11月末举办，但2026年的活动暂未确定具体日期。)”可知，2026年的活动日期仍不确定。 23．细节理解题。根据Night of the Radishes部分中“Artists in Oaxaca spend hours carving oversized radishes into well-designed historical figures and imaginary creatures, knowing their creations will dry out within a day. The time pressure makes the festival feel magical and short-lived, which is a special experience.(瓦哈卡的艺术家们耗时数小时，将巨型萝卜精心雕刻成历史人物与奇幻生物。他们清楚这些作品一天之内就会脱水枯萎。时间上的紧迫感让这场节日盛会充满魔力、转瞬即逝，这是一种特别的体验。)”及“Arrive early for the best views, because the detailed carvings are amazing but only last for a short time.(建议早点到场观赏，这些精致雕刻精美绝伦，却只能短暂留存。)”可知，该节日的特别之处在于艺术作品很快就会消失。 （本题10分）My teenage son Eric prefers takeout whenever staying home alone. 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）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. In Fuzhou, the salted porridge made of glutinous rice, celery, scallions, garlic, fried shrimps and shredded meat is eaten.

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）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.” 32．(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. 33．(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. 34．(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. 35．(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】32．B 33．A 34．C 35．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】32．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。 33．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。 34．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。 35．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12.5分）Traditional festivals are an important part of human culture and civilization. Across the globe, people gather to celebrate, remember, and honor customs that have been handed down through generations. 36(2.5分) Here, we explore why people celebrate traditional festivals worldwide. One of the primary reasons traditional festivals are celebrated is to preserve and promote cultural heritage. Festivals act as living museums where customs, art forms, music, dance, clothing, and other traditions come alive. 37(2.5分) For example, the Chinese New Year is full of special traditions that respect ancestors and bring good luck. Traditional festivals often match seasonal cycles and farming patterns (模式). Historically, agricultural communities depended heavily on nature’s cycles for planting and harvesting crops. Festivals marked key points in these cycles to give thanks for good harvests or to pray for good weather. Examples include the Mid-Autumn Festival which celebrates the harvest moon. 38(2.5分) Festivals provide a stage for cultural expression where music, dance, handmade works, and local food are shown with great excitement. These creative activities help keep old art forms alive while also bringing in new ideas. 39(2.5分) Young people can learn these skills from older family members at festivals. This helps pass traditions to the next generation. 40(2.5分) Festivals improve local economy by creating demand for goods such as handmade items, local food, traditional clothes, hotels, bus and taxi services, and more. Small family businesses can earn more during festival times. This helps improve people’s living standards in the community. A．Festivals are symbols of new beginnings. B．Many traditional festivals have deep religious roots. C．These festivals are different but share common reasons. D．They remind communities of their shared history and identity. E．Many festivals have also become important for business today. F．They make cultures more colorful and different from each other.

Yet she always wore a 41 on her face. One day, I asked her, “Grandma, how can you be so happy when you’ve been through so much 42 ?” She smiled and said, “Life is like a garden, my dear. You can focus on the weeds, or you can 43 the flowers. I choose to see the flowers.” Those words stayed with me. As I grew older, I began to 44 what she meant.

I realised that happiness is not something that happens to us — it is something we 51 . Now, whenever I face a 52 situation, I ask myself: “Where are the flowers in this garden?” Almost always, I find them. They may be small and 53 , but they are there.

The streets were dotted with fresh green bamboo leaves, and the air was filled with the faint fragrance of mugwort (艾蒿), announcing the arrival of the traditional festival. Seventeen-year-old Ethan, who had lived in the United States with his parents since childhood, was sent back to his hometown to spend the festival with his grandfather. Having grown up immersed in Western culture, Ethan held a strong sense of indifference towards traditional Chinese festivals. He regarded the Dragon Boat Festival as nothing but an old, outdated custom, far less attractive than Western carnivals and parties. All he wanted to do was stay in his room, scrolling through social media or playing online games, showing no interest in the festive atmosphere around him. Grandfather was a well-known local inheritor of traditional zongzi-making skills, and he had been eagerly looking forward to Ethan’s return, hoping to pass on the family craft and help his grandson connect with his cultural roots. He specially picked fresh bamboo leaves, prepared high-quality glutinous rice, sweet red beans and salty egg yolks, and invited Ethan to make zongzi with him. However, Ethan frowned and refused rudely without a second thought. He complained that making zongzi was tedious (冗长的) and time-consuming, and couldn’t understand why people still stuck to such old customs. Hearing his words, Grandfather’s smile faded away, and a deep sense of disappointment crossed his wrinkled face. He silently carried the ingredients to the courtyard, sitting alone on the stone bench, slowly folding the bamboo leaves. 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。 Paragraph 1: Watching Grandfather’s bent back in the courtyard, Ethan was seized with a complicated mixture of guilt and hesitation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As the steaming zongzi were taken out, the rich fragrance filled the whole courtyard, touching Ethan’s heart deeply. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1 Watching Grandfather’s bent back in the courtyard, Ethan was seized with a complicated mixture of guilt and hesitation. He stepped out of the room slowly, his eyes falling on Grandfather’s rough but deft hands folding bamboo leaves neatly. Sensing his approach, Grandfather looked up with a gentle smile, patiently demonstrating every step without urging. Ethan sat down quietly, imitating his movements clumsily. Despite Ethan's failing several times, Grandfather guided him with endless patience, telling him the stories of Qu Yuan behind the festival while they worked. Gradually, Ethan’s restlessness faded away, and he became fully absorbed in the delicate process. Paragraph 2 As the steaming zongzi were taken out, the rich fragrance filled the whole courtyard, touching Ethan’s heart deeply. He took a bite of the warm zongzi, tasting not only the sweet filling but also the love of family and the weight of tradition. For the first time, he truly understood that the Dragon Boat Festival was far more than a simple festival — it carried the long history of China and the precious cultural roots of his family. A strong sense of cultural pride surged through him, and he completely let go of his previous prejudice. That summer, Ethan truly found his cultural identity and learned to cherish the precious traditions of his motherland. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在端午节即将来临之际，自幼随父母生活在美国的 17 岁少年伊桑，被送回中国南方古镇的家乡与祖父共度佳节。伊桑深受西方文化影响，对中国传统节日漠不关心，认为端午节老旧过时。祖父作为当地知名的粽子制作技艺传承人，希望伊桑能传承这一技艺，却遭到伊桑的拒绝，祖父因此感到失望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写伊桑内心充满愧疚和犹豫，在祖父引导下，伊桑逐渐投入到包粽子的过程中。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写伊桑品尝粽子，感受到其中蕴含的亲情与传统的重量，找到了自己的文化身份，学会珍惜祖国的传统。 2.续写线索：伊桑内心纠结——走出房间——祖父示范——伊桑模仿——逐渐投入——品尝粽子——领悟意义—— 放下偏见——找到身份——珍惜传统 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走出：step out /walk out ②告诉：tell/inform 情绪类 ①犹豫：hesitation/indecision ②偏见：prejudice/bias 【点睛】【高分句型 1】He stepped out of the room slowly, his eyes falling on Grandfather’s rough but deft hands folding bamboo leaves neatly.（运用了独立主格结构 his eyes falling on...） 【高分句型 2】For the first time, he truly understood that the Dragon Boat Festival was far more than a simple festival — it carried the long history of China and the precious cultural roots of his family.（运用了 that 引导的宾语从句） 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 $
