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.” 1．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. 2．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. 3．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. 4．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. 七、七选五（25-26高一下·福建福州·期末） 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. 1 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. 2 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. 3 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. 4 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. 5 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.

(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。 2．A 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。 3．C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。 4．B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。 七、七选五（25-26高一下·福建福州·期末） 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.(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。 2．F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。 3．G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。 4．B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。 5．A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。 一、阅读理解（2026·安徽阜阳·模拟预测） Experience the Magic of Autumn Welcome to the Harvest Festival at The Berry Farm.
