Joe thought red, the color of Liverpool FC, was great, while Arthur, born a few seconds earlier, believed blue, the color of Everton FC, was much better. This silly argument about football teams happened almost every day, which annoyed their mother a lot. One Saturday afternoon, the two boys were playing football with friends on an open space by the roadside, when a car suddenly turned a corner at high speed, hit the kerb, and knocked down four children, including the twins. Both were rushed to hospital. Arthur was only slightly hurt, but Joe took a heavy blow to the head and fell into unconsciousness. After an uncomfortable night, Arthur was allowed to go home the next day. However, instead of resting, he went straight to Joe’s room. He took Joe’s red pyjama (睡衣裤) out from under the pillow. “He’ll need it,” Arthur told his mother with his voice trembling. “It’ll make him better. I want him home.” Their mother took the item to the hospital and dressed Joe in the red pyjama. The following day, Arthur returned, wearing one of Joe’s red shirts. He sat beside his brother’s bed, held Joe’s hand, and began to sing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” softly to wake his brother up, saying he would never argue again. Suddenly, Joe’s face turned. He opened his eyes, looked at Arthur, and smiled weakly. “It’s only a game,” he whispered. “I’ll always love you, too.” The doctor arrived and, after a quick examination, announced that Joe was recovering. A week later, Joe fully recovered. One day, before going to watch a match with their father, he received a Liverpool badge from Arthur, who wished his team good luck. Joe waved back and said, “Thanks. And I hope your blue team does well today. You sing beautifully, you know.” Watching them from the window, their mother was moved to tears. She knew the twin brothers would always stand by each other, for they would never walk alone. 24．(2.5分)What can we know about the twins? A．They were young football players. B．They liked different football teams. C．They were fond of the same color. D．They often argued with their mother. 25．(2.5分)Why did Arthur take Joe’s red pajama out? A．To help Joe look after it.

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. 28．(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. 29．(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. 30．(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 31．(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10分）As India’s most important festival of the year, Diwali is a time to celebrate the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. Widely celebrated among more than a billion people from a variety of beliefs, the five days of Diwali are marked by prayer, feasts, fireworks, family gatherings, and helping those in need. For some, Diwali is also the beginning of a new year. So widely is it celebrated that it has no single origin story. In Hinduism (印度教) alone, there are several versions of tales about the Hindu god Vishnu, who brings back the balance of good and evil in times of trouble. Even other religions (宗教) in India have their own Diwali stories too. But Diwali is perhaps best known for the brightly burning clay lamps (灯盏) that people line up outside their homes on the night of the new moon to invite the presence of Lakshmi, wife of Vishnu, the goddess of wealth. What a scene to have a sea of lamps lit and placed in rows along the walls of temples and houses, and floating on rivers and streams. Homes are decorated, and floors inside and out are covered with beautiful designs made of colored rice, sand, or flowers. The doors and windows of houses are kept open in the hope that Lakshmi will find her way inside and bless the residents with wealth and success. Diwali is generally a time for visiting, exchanging gifts, wearing new clothes, feasting, feeding the poor, and setting off fireworks. Among others, gambling (赌博), especially in the form of card games, is encouraged as a way of ensuring good luck in the coming year. Traditionally, in honor of Lakshmi, the female player always wins. The spirit of Diwali extends beyond a single tradition. However it is celebrated, the spirit of Diwali is universal — the belief that, eventually, light will overcome darkness. 32．(2.5分)What is the main idea of Paragraph one? A．Diwali is celebrated by people with the same beliefs. B．Diwali marks the beginning of a new year for everyone. C．Diwali is India's most important festival with various celebrations. D．Diwali focuses on family gatherings and helping the poor. 33．(2.5分)Why do people keep doors and windows open during Diwali? A．To welcome Lakshmi. B．To let fresh air in. C．To display their decorations. D．To allow fireworks smoke to escape. 34．(2.5分)What is the purpose of gambling during Diwali according to the passage? A．To ensure good luck. B．To win money for the poor. C．To test one's fortune. D．To celebrate family reunions. 35．(2.5分)What does the passage mainly intend to tell readers? A．The historical origin and development of the Diwali festival. B．How Diwali is celebrated differently by various religions in India. C．The cultural customs and central values behind the Diwali festival. D．Why Lakshmi is regarded as the most important goddess during Diwali. （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. G．People from all walks of life were there to celebrate the festival together. 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. 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 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（适中版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 is the probable relationship between the speakers?

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. B．Its 2026 date remains uncertain. C．Monkeys search for food together. D．Tourists touch monkeys closely. 23．(2.5分)What is unique about the Night of the Radishes? A．Artists apply special skills. B．It happens after Christmas. C．The art disappears quickly. 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）Joe and Arthur were twin brothers. Joe thought red, the color of Liverpool FC, was great, while Arthur, born a few seconds earlier, believed blue, the color of Everton FC, was much better. This silly argument about football teams happened almost every day, which annoyed their mother a lot. One Saturday afternoon, the two boys were playing football with friends on an open space by the roadside, when a car suddenly turned a corner at high speed, hit the kerb, and knocked down four children, including the twins. Both were rushed to hospital. Arthur was only slightly hurt, but Joe took a heavy blow to the head and fell into unconsciousness. After an uncomfortable night, Arthur was allowed to go home the next day. However, instead of resting, he went straight to Joe’s room. He took Joe’s red pyjama (睡衣裤) out from under the pillow. “He’ll need it,” Arthur told his mother with his voice trembling. “It’ll make him better. I want him home.” Their mother took the item to the hospital and dressed Joe in the red pyjama. The following day, Arthur returned, wearing one of Joe’s red shirts. He sat beside his brother’s bed, held Joe’s hand, and began to sing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” softly to wake his brother up, saying he would never argue again. Suddenly, Joe’s face turned. He opened his eyes, looked at Arthur, and smiled weakly. “It’s only a game,” he whispered. “I’ll always love you, too.” The doctor arrived and, after a quick examination, announced that Joe was recovering. A week later, Joe fully recovered. One day, before going to watch a match with their father, he received a Liverpool badge from Arthur, who wished his team good luck. Joe waved back and said, “Thanks. And I hope your blue team does well today. You sing beautifully, you know.” Watching them from the window, their mother was moved to tears. She knew the twin brothers would always stand by each other, for they would never walk alone. 24．(2.5分)What can we know about the twins? A．They were young football players. B．They liked different football teams. C．They were fond of the same color. D．They often argued with their mother. 25．(2.5分)Why did Arthur take Joe’s red pajama out? A．To help Joe look after it. B．To make Joe more attractive. C．To hide it away from Joe. D．To offer Joe moral support. 26．(2.5分)What happened to the twins after Joe returned home? A．They started to live alone. B．They stopped playing football. C．They watched matches together. D．They became friendlier to each other. 27．(2.5分)What does the story show? A．Health is priceless. B．Time heals all wounds. C．Family love matters most. D．There will be a turning point. 【答案】24．B 25．D 26．D 27．C 【导语】文章主要讲述了一对双胞胎兄弟Joe和Arthur因支持不同足球队而经常争论，但在Joe遭遇车祸后，Arthur用爱与关怀唤醒了他，体现了兄弟情谊的重要性。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Joe thought red, the color of Liverpool FC, was great, while Arthur, born a few seconds earlier, believed blue, the color of Everton FC, was much better. (Joe认为红色——利物浦队的颜色——很棒，而早出生几秒的Arthur认为蓝色——埃弗顿队的颜色——要好得多。)”可知，这对双胞胎喜欢不同的足球队。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段中“He took Joe’s red pyjama (睡衣裤) out from under the pillow. “He’ll need it,” Arthur told his mother with his voice trembling. “It’ll make him better. I want him home.” (他把Joe的红色睡衣裤从枕头底下拿出来。Arthur用颤抖的声音告诉母亲：“他会需要它的。这会让他好起来。我想让他回家。”)”和第四段中“The following day, Arthur returned, wearing one of Joe’s red shirts. He sat beside his brother’s bed, held Joe’s hand, and began to sing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” softly to wake his brother up, saying he would never argue again. (第二天，Arthur回来了，穿着Joe的一件红衬衫。他坐在哥哥的床边，握着Joe的手，开始轻声唱《你永远不会独行》来叫醒哥哥，并说他再也不会争吵了。)”可知，Arthur拿出Joe的红色睡衣是为了给Joe精神上的支持。 26．推理判断题。根据第五段“A week later, Joe fully recovered. One day, before going to watch a match with their father, he received a Liverpool badge from Arthur, who wished his team good luck. Joe waved back and said, “Thanks. And I hope your blue team does well today. You sing beautifully, you know.” (一周后，Joe完全康复了。有一天，在和父亲一起去看比赛之前，他收到了Arthur送的一枚利物浦队徽，Arthur祝愿他的球队好运。Joe挥手回应道：“谢谢。我也希望你今天支持的蓝色球队表现出色。你知道吗，你唱歌很好听。”)”可知，Joe回家后兄弟俩相互祝对方支持的球队好运，不再争论，说明他们对彼此更加友好了。 27．推理判断题。通读全文，结合最后一段中“Watching them from the window, their mother was moved to tears. She knew the twin brothers would always stand by each other, for they would never walk alone. (他们的母亲从窗户里看到这一幕，感动得热泪盈眶。她知道这对双胞胎兄弟永远会彼此支持，因为他们永远不会独行。)”可知，文章通过讲述兄弟俩从为球队争吵到在危难时刻互相支持的故事，展现了家庭之爱的重要性。 （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. 28．(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. 29．(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. 30．(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 31．(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】28．A 29．B 30．B 31．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】28．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。 29．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。 30．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。 31．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10分）As India’s most important festival of the year, Diwali is a time to celebrate the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. Widely celebrated among more than a billion people from a variety of beliefs, the five days of Diwali are marked by prayer, feasts, fireworks, family gatherings, and helping those in need. For some, Diwali is also the beginning of a new year. So widely is it celebrated that it has no single origin story. In Hinduism (印度教) alone, there are several versions of tales about the Hindu god Vishnu, who brings back the balance of good and evil in times of trouble. Even other religions (宗教) in India have their own Diwali stories too. But Diwali is perhaps best known for the brightly burning clay lamps (灯盏) that people line up outside their homes on the night of the new moon to invite the presence of Lakshmi, wife of Vishnu, the goddess of wealth. What a scene to have a sea of lamps lit and placed in rows along the walls of temples and houses, and floating on rivers and streams. Homes are decorated, and floors inside and out are covered with beautiful designs made of colored rice, sand, or flowers. The doors and windows of houses are kept open in the hope that Lakshmi will find her way inside and bless the residents with wealth and success. Diwali is generally a time for visiting, exchanging gifts, wearing new clothes, feasting, feeding the poor, and setting off fireworks. Among others, gambling (赌博), especially in the form of card games, is encouraged as a way of ensuring good luck in the coming year. Traditionally, in honor of Lakshmi, the female player always wins. The spirit of Diwali extends beyond a single tradition. However it is celebrated, the spirit of Diwali is universal — the belief that, eventually, light will overcome darkness. 32．(2.5分)What is the main idea of Paragraph one? A．Diwali is celebrated by people with the same beliefs. B．Diwali marks the beginning of a new year for everyone. C．Diwali is India's most important festival with various celebrations. D．Diwali focuses on family gatherings and helping the poor. 33．(2.5分)Why do people keep doors and windows open during Diwali? A．To welcome Lakshmi. B．To let fresh air in. C．To display their decorations. D．To allow fireworks smoke to escape. 34．(2.5分)What is the purpose of gambling during Diwali according to the passage? A．To ensure good luck. B．To win money for the poor. C．To test one's fortune. D．To celebrate family reunions. 35．(2.5分)What does the passage mainly intend to tell readers? A．The historical origin and development of the Diwali festival. B．How Diwali is celebrated differently by various religions in India. C．The cultural customs and central values behind the Diwali festival. D．Why Lakshmi is regarded as the most important goddess during Diwali. 【答案】32．C 33．A 34．A 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍印度最重要的节日排灯节的庆祝意义、多样起源，以及摆灯盏、祈福等相关节日习俗，诠释其光明终将战胜黑暗的核心精神。 【详解】32．主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“As India’s most important festival of the year, Diwali is a time to celebrate the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. Widely celebrated among more than a billion people from a variety of beliefs, the five days of Diwali are marked by prayer, feasts, fireworks, family gatherings, and helping those in need.(排灯节是印度一年中最重要的节日，是庆祝光明战胜黑暗、知识战胜愚昧、善良战胜邪恶的时刻。十余亿不同信仰的人们广泛庆祝这个节日，为期五天的排灯节的特色活动有祈祷、盛宴、放烟花、家庭聚会和帮助有需要的人。)”可知，第一段核心说明排灯节是印度最重要的节日，拥有多样的庆祝形式。故选C项。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The doors and windows of houses are kept open in the hope that Lakshmi will find her way inside and bless the residents with wealth and success.(家家户户的门窗都敞开着，希望拉克希米能走进屋内，为住户带来财富和成功的祝福。)”可知，排灯节期间人们敞开门窗，是为了迎接财富女神拉克希米的到来。故选A项。 34．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Among others, gambling (赌博), especially in the form of card games, is encouraged as a way of ensuring good luck in the coming year.(其中，赌博——尤其是纸牌游戏形式的赌博是被提倡的，人们认为这能为来年带来好运。)”可知，排灯节期间的赌博活动，其目的是为了祈求来年能拥有好运。故选A项。 35．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第一段中的“As India’s most important festival of the year, Diwali is a time to celebrate the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil.(排灯节是印度一年中最重要的节日，是庆祝光明战胜黑暗、知识战胜愚昧、善良战胜邪恶的时刻。)”，第三段中的“But Diwali is perhaps best known for the brightly burning clay lamps (灯盏) that people line up outside their homes on the night of the new moon to invite the presence of Lakshmi, wife of Vishnu, the goddess of wealth.(但排灯节最广为人知的或许是那些明亮的陶制灯盏，人们在新月之夜将其排列在家门外，以迎接毗湿奴的妻子、财富女神拉克希米的到来。)”和尾段中的“However it is celebrated, the spirit of Diwali is universal — the belief that, eventually, light will overcome darkness.(无论人们以何种方式庆祝，排灯节的精神都是共通的——那就是坚信光明终将战胜黑暗。)”可知，文章介绍了排灯节的各类文化习俗，也阐释了其光明战胜黑暗的核心价值，核心是讲述排灯节的文化习俗及其背后的核心内涵。故选C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.

The whole month of June witnesses community gatherings, street carnivals and school activities all in celebration of this fruitful season.(在以多元派对文化闻名的巴西，北部地区在凉爽季节会举办各种庆祝活动，以纪念一年一度的玉米丰收。整个六月都见证着社区聚会、街头狂欢和学校活动，都是为了庆祝这个丰收的季节)”主要描述了巴西北部在特定季节为庆祝玉米丰收举行的一系列活动。C选项“This time-honored tradition is known as Festa Junina.(这个历史悠久的传统被称为Festa Junina)”，此选项对前文所描述的这一系列庆祝活动进行命名，使读者明确这些活动所属的节日名称，与前文紧密关联，引出后文对Festa Junina节日具体情况的叙述。 37．前文“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.(作为一名外国居民，我逐渐意识到这在巴西是一个重要的时期，尽管它很少引起外界的关注)”表明作者作为外国人意识到该节日对巴西很重要但外界关注度低的情况。后文“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.(注意到附近公园里竖起了节日装饰品，我突然想到我可以利用这个绝佳机会亲身体验独特的当地文化)”体现作者看到节日装饰后想到要体验当地文化。F选项“I wondered how I might get involved in such precious local events.(我想知道我怎样才能参与到这些珍贵的当地活动中)”中的“wondered how...get involved”表达了作者想要参与当地活动的想法，与前文作者意识到节日重要性相呼应，同时引出后文作者看到装饰后决定参与体验文化，起到承上启下的作用。 38．前文“Upon arrival, I noticed the party was decorated with cute, colorful flags and lanterns. It was much more crowded than I had expected.(到达后，我注意到派对现场装饰着可爱多彩的旗帜和灯笼。人比我预期的要多得多)”描述了派对现场装饰以及人多的情况。后文“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.(男人们穿着牛仔裤、戴着草帽和靴子，就像农民一样，而女人们穿着印有花朵或格子图案的连衣裙，还戴着装饰着鲜花和蝴蝶结的草帽。)”具体描写了派对上人们的穿着。G选项“People from all walks of life were there to celebrate the festival together.(各行各业的人都在那里一起庆祝这个节日)”解释了前文派对人多的原因，即各行各业的人都来庆祝，同时自然引出后文对不同人群穿着的描述，与上下文紧密相连。 39．后文“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.(大多数当地美食都是用玉米和花生制作的，这是巴西日常饮食中的两种主要食材。我甚至品尝了canjica，一种深受当地人喜爱的甜玉米布丁)”着重介绍当地美食。B选项“Plenty of stands served typical food of rural Brazil.(许多摊位供应巴西乡村的特色食物)”中的“stands served typical food”与后文“local delicacies”相呼应，先指出有许多摊位供应特色食物，进而引出后文对当地美食具体制作食材及特色布丁的介绍。 40．前文“I joined them happily, yet the heavy meal I had eaten earlier made it tough for me to follow the fast dance steps.(我开心地加入了他们，但我之前吃的丰盛饭菜让我很难跟上快速的舞步)”表明作者虽开心加入跳舞，但因之前的大餐而难以跟上舞步。A选项“However, I enjoyed every moment of it.(然而，我享受每一刻)”中的“However”表转折，尽管存在跟不上舞步的情况，但依然享受这个过程，与前文形成转折关系，进一步强调作者对参与节日活动的喜爱。 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. 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. Life is full of challenges, but it is also full of 45 . It is up to us to decide where we direct our 46 . In high school, I faced my own set of difficulties. I struggled with my studies and often felt 47 . There were times when I wanted to give up. But then I remembered my grandmother’s words. Instead of 48 on my failures, I started to celebrate small victories — a good grade on a quiz, a kind word from a teacher, a 49 moment with a friend. Gradually, my outlook began to 50 . 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 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 $
