One day, Yang and his friend You Zuo had different opinions on one question. In order to get a proper answer, they went to Cheng’s home for advice. It was in the middle of winter. Feeling frozen by the wind and snow, the two men wrapped themselves tightly in their clothes and hurried on. When they arrived at Cheng’s place, the gatekeeper said the master was taking a nap. The two students did not complain. Instead, they chose not to disturb the teacher and waited outside the door, standing in heavy snowfall. After quite some time, Cheng upon waking up became aware that his students had been standing still in the snow for a while and immediately invited them to come in. By this time, the snowfall was already one foot thick. Deeply moved by Yang’s patience, Cheng gave detailed answers to the students’ questions. After years of study, Yang finally achieved his life goal as a great scholar. Modern Chinese society still retains the fine tradition of respecting teachers of high prestige and deep learning. Zhang Guimei, the principal of the Huaping Senior High School for Girls in southwest China’s Yunnan Province, won the July 1 Medal in 2021. The medal is the highest honor for outstanding members in the Communist Party of China.

Instead, they chose not to disturb the teacher and waited outside the door, standing in heavy snowfall.(两位学生没有抱怨，反而选择不打扰老师，在门外的大雪中静静等候)”可知，故事围绕杨时冒雪等候老师请教问题展开，核心是对老师的敬重。故选A项。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段“One day, Yang and his friend You Zuo had different opinions on one question. In order to get a proper answer, they went to Cheng’s home for advice.(一天，杨时和他的朋友游酢对一个问题有不同的看法。为了得到正确的答案，他们去程颐家请教)”可知，两人去程颐家是为了就一个问题寻求建议。故选D项。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段“The two students did not complain.

Zhang Guimei, the principal of the Huaping Senior High School for Girls in southwest China’s Yunnan Province, won the July 1 Medal in 2021. The medal is the highest honor for outstanding members in the Communist Party of China.

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. 28．(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. 29．(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. 30．(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. 31．(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.

Introduced to the United States in 1966 as a ceremony to welcome the first harvest to the home, the festival, which takes place from December 26 to January 1, is a celebration of life, unity, family, and culture. Featuring feasts, music and dance, and a devotion and recommitment to different principles (信条), the festival was created in the middle of the Black Freedom Movement, at a time when it was felt that cultural grounding was needed. Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University in Long Beach, is responsible for bringing the festival to life. After the Watts violence in L.A．, Dr. Karenga searched for ways to strengthen the African-American community. He paired the practices with traditions of several different harvest celebrations on the African continent, and although it is celebrated around the Christmas period, it perhaps has more similarities to Thanksgiving or the Yam Festival in Ghana and Nigeria. There are five common sets of values that are central to the week-long activities: ingathering, reverence, commemoration, recommitment, and celebration. There are seven principles of Kwanzaa, meaning first fruits in Kiswahili, a language spoken in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The first fruit celebrations appear in ancient and modern times in classical African civilizations. These seven principles are known as Umoja, meaning unity; kujichagulia, self-determination; ujima, collective work, and responsibility; ujamaa, cooperative economics; nia, purpose; kuumba, creativity; and Imani, faith. There are seven candles used during the festival, and like, the Jewish Hanukkah, these candles are used to represent the principles. On December 31, participants celebrate with a plentiful meal, often featuring good meals from various African countries. The number of Americans who celebrate Kwanzaa has changed greatly over the years, and with as many as six million getting involved in the 1980s, Kwanzaa became a mainstream holiday. Now, however, numbers have paled, but it still remains an important cultural touchstone (试金石) for many African American communities. 32．(2.5分)What activity can be included during the celebration of Kwanzaa? A．Creating a piece of music. B．Having a plentiful meal. C．Giving and receiving gifts. D．Enjoying an art exhibition. 33．(2.5分)How did Dr. Karenga bring Kwanzaa to life? A．He started the Watts violence in Los Angeles. B．He created five common sets of values. C．He found ways to practice African traditions. D．He strengthened the unity of neighbors. 34．(2.5分)What can we infer about the celebration of Kwanzaa? A．Kwanzaa is a festival across the world. B．Africans are considered important in the U.S.. C．Kwanzaa is an important cultural symbol. D．Kwanzaa is less popular among young Africans. 35．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text? A．A Festival: The Culture Across the World B．African Americans: An Important Part of Americans C．Principles: The Focus of a Festival D．Kwanzaa: The African Celebration of Unity and Culture 【答案】32．B 33．D 34．C 35．D 【导语】本篇是一篇说明文。主要介绍了非裔美国人和泛非洲人的宽扎节。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Featuring feasts, music and dance, and a devotion and recommitment to different principles, the festival was created in the middle of the Black Freedom Movement, at a time when it was felt that cultural grounding was needed.(这个节日的特色是盛宴、音乐和舞蹈，以及对不同原则的献身和重新承诺，它诞生于黑人自由运动(Black Freedom Movement)中期，当时人们认为需要文化基础)”可知，宽扎节的庆祝活动盛宴、音乐和舞蹈，对比选项。故选B项。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University in Long Beach, is responsible for bringing the festival to life. After the Watts violence in L.A., Dr. Karenga searched for ways to strengthen the African-American community.(加州州立大学长滩分校黑人研究教授兼主席Maulana Karenga博士负责让这个节日变得活跃起来。洛杉矶瓦茨暴力事件发生后，卡伦加博士寻找加强非裔美国人社区的方法)”可知，卡伦加博士加强了邻居们的团结让宽扎节活跃起来。故选D项。 34．推理判断题。根据第四段中“There are five common sets of values that are central to the week-long activities: ingathering, reverence, commemoration, recommitment, and celebration. There are seven principles of Kwanzaa, meaning first fruits in Kiswahili, a language spoken in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The first fruit celebrations appear in ancient and modern times in classical African civilizations.(在为期一周的活动中，有五套共同的价值观是中心:聚集、尊敬、纪念、重新承诺和庆祝。宽扎节有七个原则，在肯尼亚、乌干达和坦桑尼亚使用的斯瓦希里语中，宽扎节意味着第一批果实。最早的水果庆典出现在古代和现代的古典非洲文明中)”可知，宽扎节有五套共同的价值观，有七个原则，所以我们能从宽扎节的庆祝活动中推断出宽扎节是一个重要的文化象征。故选C项。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Kwanzaa may be a festival celebrated by millions of African Americans and pan-Africans, but it has only been around for a few decades. Introduced to the United States in 1966 as a ceremony to welcome the first harvest to the home, the festival, which takes place from December 26 to January 1, is a celebration of life, unity, family, and culture.(宽扎节可能是数百万非裔美国人和泛非洲人庆祝的节日，但它只有几十年的历史。这个节日于1966年传入美国，作为欢迎第一次丰收的仪式，从12月26日举行到1月1日，是庆祝生命、团结、家庭和文化的节日)”可知，本文主要介绍宽扎节，而宽扎节是庆祝生命、团结、家庭和文化的节日。所以最好的标题是D项“Kwanzaa: The African Celebration of Unity and Culture(宽扎节:非洲人庆祝团结和文化的节日)”符合文意。故选D项。 （本题12.5分）I’m an American. This was my second Spring Festival in Qingdao and my fifth visit overall. 36(2.5分) . I already knew which relative would host the dinner on which evening. I knew the rhythm (节奏) of the meals, the predictable (可预测的) laughter at familiar stories. And yet, that predictability is precisely the point. What struck me most was not how different the Spring Festival was from holidays I had known before, but how similar it felt — the desire to return home, the joy of shared meals and the simple power of being together. 37(2.5分) . They belong to all of humanity. We choose different dates on the calendar. We cook different dishes. We tell different stories. But there is something universal: a longing to pause the rush of ordinary life and hold one another a little closer. In Qingdao, surrounded by my wife’s family, I did not feel like an outsider observing a foreign tradition. 38(2.5分) . That was recognition. I realize that our holidays, however different in form, are united in purpose. I also realize that the world, for all its complexity, still moves to the same quiet rhythm of family and belonging. If there is something truly extraordinary about the Spring Festival, it is its scale or history. 39(2.5分) . I hope more people have the opportunity to experience the Spring Festival in China, whether traveling independently or, if they are fortunate, welcomed into a family home. 40(2.5分) . Because the truest cultural exchange is not about difference at all, but about the quiet revelation (发现) that we are, in the ways that matter most, beautifully the same. A．There were few surprises left for me B．I felt something far more meaningful C．More importantly, it is its familiarity D．Everything around me sounded quite strange E．They will definitely receive congratulations from the family home F．Not simply to see something different, but to discover something shared G．These feelings are not unique to the Chinese, Americans, or any particular people 【答案】36．A 37．G 38．B 39．C 40．F 【导语】一位美国人讲述在中国过春节的感悟：节日形式各异，但对家庭与归属感的渴求相通，真正的文化交流在于发现人类共通之处。 【详解】36．由上文“This was my second Spring Festival in Qingdao and my fifth visit overall.(这是我在青岛过的第二个春节，也是我总共第五次来到这里。)”以及后文“I already knew which relative would host the dinner on which evening.(我已经知道哪位亲戚会在哪天晚上主办家宴。)”可知，作者来过多次，对春节已经很熟悉，几乎没有什么意外新鲜事，A项“There were few surprises left for me.(对我来说几乎没有什么惊喜了。)”符合语境，衔接下文对熟悉春节细节的描述。 37．由上文“What struck me most was not how different the Spring Festival was from holidays I had known before, but how similar it felt — the desire to return home, the joy of shared meals and the simple power of being together.(令我感触最深的，并非春节与我以往经历过的节日有多大差异，而是它带给我的那份相似感：归家的期盼、欢聚共餐的喜悦，以及相聚相伴这份朴素的力量。)”以及后文“They belong to all of humanity.(它们属于全人类。)”可知，空格处说明这些情感不为某一个群体独有，G项“These feelings are not unique to the Chinese, Americans, or any particular people.(这些情感并非中国人、美国人或是任何特定人群所独有。)”中These feelings指代上文一系列情感，和后文“belong to all of humanity”呼应。 38．由上文“In Qingdao, surrounded by my wife’s family, I did not feel like an outsider observing a foreign tradition.(在青岛，置身于妻子的家人中间，我并没有感觉自己是一个局外人，在旁观一种陌生的传统。)”以及后文“That was recognition.(那就是一种认同感。)”可知，作者不是局外人，而是体会到更有意义的感受，B项“I felt something far more meaningful.(我体会到了某种远比这更有意义的东西。)”衔接上下文，that指代本句的something far more meaningful。 39．由上文“If there is something truly extraordinary about the Spring Festival, it is its scale or history.(如果春节有什么真正非同寻常之处，那就是它的规模或是历史。)”可知，空格处递进阐述春节另一个特质，C项“More importantly, it is its familiarity.(更重要的是，是它那份共通的亲切感。)”中it指代上文“something truly extraordinary about the Spring Festival”，More importantly体现递进逻辑。 40．由上文“I hope more people have the opportunity to experience the Spring Festival in China, whether traveling independently or, if they are fortunate, welcomed into a family home.(我希望更多人有机会在中国体验春节，无论是独自旅行，还是有幸被一个家庭接纳。)”以及后文“Because the truest cultural exchange is not about difference at all; but about the quiet revelation (发现) that we are, in the ways that matter most, beautifully the same.(因为真正的文化交流根本不在于差异，而在于悄然发现：在最重要的方面，我们美好地相通。)”可知，空格处说明人们体验春节的真正目的，F项“Not simply to see something different, but to discover something shared.(不只是去看不一样的事物，而是去发现共通的东西。)”承接上文希望他人体验春节，引出后文原因解释。 三、完形填空 How Archaeology Changed from Digging to Protecting The word “archaeology” comes from the Greek word arkhaios, which means “ancient.” Although some archaeologists study living 41 , most focus on the distant past. For thousands of years, people have searched for and dug up ancient monuments, often not as scholars but as grave robbers whose only goal was to steal valuables quickly, caring little about the structures around them. Their actions 42 caused damage to historical sites. In ancient Egypt, grave robbing was so common that many tombs had hidden rooms where families placed treasures. This problem 43 for centuries. In the 1800s, the tomb of Pharaoh (法老) Ramses I, who ruled briefly in the 1290s BCE, was discovered and stolen. It contained pottery, paintings, sculptures, and the pharaoh’s mummy, which eventually ended up in a museum before being returned to Egypt in 2003. 44 , grave robbers never discovered the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, also known as King Tut. His resting place lay 45 for thousands of years until it was discovered in 1922. The tomb contained the mummies of Tutankhamun and his family, along with thousands of artifacts (文物), providing 46 insights into ancient Egyptian life. It remains one of the most well-known archaeological 47 in history. Early archaeology was also closely linked to 48 and colonial (殖民的) power. When Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Egypt in 1798, he brought artists and scholars to document the conquest, while his troops 49 hundreds of tons of artifacts, many of which now fill the Louvre. Similarly, wealthy adventurers from Western colonial powers 50 digs in Greece and elsewhere. Although they were often genuinely interested in the past, their work was 51 to colonialism, as seen in the case of the Elgin Marbles, which Greece has long requested returned as part of its cultural heritage. Such activities highlight both the historical fascination with ancient civilizations and the ethical (伦理的) challenges that 52 early archaeology. Over time, archaeology became more 53 . Scientists began using standard measurements and formalized methods for recording and removing artifacts. Detailed drawings of dig sites and individual items became standard, and archaeologists collaborated with historians and linguists to create a unified 54 of the past. In the 20th century, archaeologists also 55 their ethical responsibilities. Today, most countries recognize that archaeological remains belong to the nation where they are found, reflecting a growing respect for cultural heritage and the protection of history. 41．A．sculptures B．cultures C．populations D．creatures 42．A．barely B．randomly C．inevitably D．slightly 43．A．persisted B．burst C．emerged D．arose 44．A．Similarly B．What’s more C．As a result D．By contrast 45．A．undervalued B．unsupervised C．misinterpreted D．undisturbed 46．A．innocent B．invaluable C．greedy D．artificial 47．A．features B．reserves C．finds D．regrets 48．A．voluntary B．literal C．military D．religious 49．A．celebrated B．donated C．removed D．launched 50．A．drew on B．carried out C．depended on D．objected to 51．A．delivered B．opposed C．unexposed D．tied 52．A．accompanied B．diversified C．branded D．embraced 53．A．theoretical B．mysterious C．transitional D．systematic 54．A．instinct B．rhythm C．prediction D．picture 55．A．denied B．simplified C．reassessed D．misrepresented 【答案】 41．B 42．C 43．A 44．D 45．D 46．B 47．C 48．C 49．C 50．B 51．D 52．A 53．D 54．D 55．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了考古学从古时盗墓掠夺、依附殖民的破坏行为，逐步转变为系统化研究。现代考古重视伦理规范，注重文物保护与文化遗产尊重。 【详解】41．考查名词词义辨析。句意：尽管部分考古学家研究现存文化，但大多数聚焦遥远的过去。A. sculptures雕塑；B. cultures文化；C. populations人口；D. creatures生物。根据后文“historical sites”以及结合前文考古学起源与古老事物相关，后文对比远古研究，现存文化符合考古研究范畴。故选B。 42．考查副词词义辨析。句意：他们的行为不可避免地对历史遗址造成破坏。A. barely几乎不；B. randomly随意地；C. inevitably不可避免地；D. slightly轻微地。根据上文“For thousands of years, people have searched for and dug up ancient monuments, often not as scholars but as grave robbers whose only goal was to steal valuables quickly, caring little about the structures around them.(数千年间，人们一直在寻找并挖掘古代遗迹，而挖掘者中往往并非是学者，而是盗墓者。这些盗墓者的唯一目的就是迅速窃取贵重物品，对周围建筑则毫不在意)”可知，盗墓者只贪图珍宝、无视建筑遗迹的行为，破坏必然会产生。故选C。 43．考查动词词义辨析。句意：这一问题持续了数百年。A. persisted持续；B. burst爆发；C. emerged出现；D. arose产生。根据后文“for centuries”以及结合后文列举跨时代的盗墓事例，说明该问题长久存在。故选A。 44．考查短语辨析。句意：相比之下，盗墓者从未发现图坦卡蒙法老的陵墓。A.

As a worried little boy, I asked my mom many times if we could get an Easter egg. On that day, my parents and I found the Easter Bunny (兔子) had come and left many eggs on the hotel grass for all the kids. When we walked to the group of adults and kids waiting for the egg-hunting game to start, I noticed all the kids were much bigger than me. Only a little boy in a red T-shirt was as small as me. I felt a little worried about the game then. “I can get an egg, right?” I asked my mom nervously. “Sure you can,” she answered with a confident smile. I held my Easter basket tightly and my heart beat fast, when a hotel worker shouted loudly, “Let’s start in 3… 2... 1... Go!” All the kids ran across the grass at once, looking behind trees for plastic Easter eggs full of candies. I ran to the nearest tree but found nothing. Then I ran to a nearby sandpit (沙坑), hoping to find a hidden egg, but there was none. I looked around and saw other kids showing their eggs happily. I knew I had little chance to find even one. On the other side of the grass, the little boy in red had nothing too. Just then, my mom pointed to a big tree far away and said, “Look! There is an egg there!” 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 每段的开头语已为你写好，不计入总词数。 The little boy and I heard this at the same time. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding the egg carefully in my hand, I walked slowly to the little boy. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 The little boy and I heard this at the same time. We were filled with excitement and ran as fast as possible toward the faraway big tree, our breath getting faster and hearts beating wildly. All the people around stopped to watch us and cheered loudly for us as we raced side by side. Neither of us wanted to lose the race. At the last moment, I reached out my hand and grabbed the shiny plastic egg just before him. It was the last one left on the grass. I noticed the disappointment in his eyes as he stopped beside me. Holding the egg carefully in my hand, I walked slowly to the little boy. I saw he looked upset for failing to find any eggs, so I smiled and decided to share the egg with him. His eyes lit up at once and he thanked me happily. We opened the egg and enjoyed the sweet candies together. The people nearby cheered warmly for us. That Easter wasn’t just about finding an egg — it taught me a valuable lesson that sharing joy with others makes our lives more meaningful. 【导语】本文以复活节找彩蛋为线索展开，讲述作者一家在外过复活节，作者参加酒店找彩蛋游戏，和一个穿红T恤的小男孩都没找到彩蛋时，妈妈指向远处大树上的最后一枚彩蛋。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“小男孩和我同时听到了这句话。”可知，第一段可描写两人同时冲向大树，最终作者抢到了最后一枚彩蛋，同时注意到小男孩失落的神情。 ②由第二段首句内容“我小心翼翼地握着彩蛋，慢慢地走向小男孩。”可知，第二段可描写作者看到小男孩难过，决定和他分享彩蛋，两人一起享受糖果，也让作者领悟到分享的意义。 2. 续写线索： 共同冲向大树——作者抢到彩蛋——小男孩失落——作者分享彩蛋——两人共尝糖果 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①冲向：run toward/dash to/rush to ②抓住：grab/seize/catch hold of ③欢呼：cheer/hail 情绪类 ①快乐地：happily/joyously/gayly ②喜悦：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] I noticed the disappointment in his eyes as he stopped beside me.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2] That Easter wasn’t just about finding an egg — it taught me a valuable lesson that sharing joy with others makes our lives more meaningful.(运用了that引导的同位语从句) 试卷第1页（共3页） 1 / 21 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 2 Let’s Celebrate!（较难版02） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）Why will the woman go to Maryland?

One day, Yang and his friend You Zuo had different opinions on one question. In order to get a proper answer, they went to Cheng’s home for advice. It was in the middle of winter. Feeling frozen by the wind and snow, the two men wrapped themselves tightly in their clothes and hurried on. When they arrived at Cheng’s place, the gatekeeper said the master was taking a nap. The two students did not complain. Instead, they chose not to disturb the teacher and waited outside the door, standing in heavy snowfall. After quite some time, Cheng upon waking up became aware that his students had been standing still in the snow for a while and immediately invited them to come in. By this time, the snowfall was already one foot thick. Deeply moved by Yang’s patience, Cheng gave detailed answers to the students’ questions. After years of study, Yang finally achieved his life goal as a great scholar. Modern Chinese society still retains the fine tradition of respecting teachers of high prestige and deep learning.

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. 28．(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. 29．(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. 30．(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. 31．(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10分）Kwanzaa may be a festival celebrated by millions of African Americans and pan-Africans, but it has only been around for a few decades (十年). Introduced to the United States in 1966 as a ceremony to welcome the first harvest to the home, the festival, which takes place from December 26 to January 1, is a celebration of life, unity, family, and culture. Featuring feasts, music and dance, and a devotion and recommitment to different principles (信条), the festival was created in the middle of the Black Freedom Movement, at a time when it was felt that cultural grounding was needed. Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University in Long Beach, is responsible for bringing the festival to life. After the Watts violence in L.A．, Dr. Karenga searched for ways to strengthen the African-American community. He paired the practices with traditions of several different harvest celebrations on the African continent, and although it is celebrated around the Christmas period, it perhaps has more similarities to Thanksgiving or the Yam Festival in Ghana and Nigeria. There are five common sets of values that are central to the week-long activities: ingathering, reverence, commemoration, recommitment, and celebration. There are seven principles of Kwanzaa, meaning first fruits in Kiswahili, a language spoken in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The first fruit celebrations appear in ancient and modern times in classical African civilizations. These seven principles are known as Umoja, meaning unity; kujichagulia, self-determination; ujima, collective work, and responsibility; ujamaa, cooperative economics; nia, purpose; kuumba, creativity; and Imani, faith. There are seven candles used during the festival, and like, the Jewish Hanukkah, these candles are used to represent the principles. On December 31, participants celebrate with a plentiful meal, often featuring good meals from various African countries. The number of Americans who celebrate Kwanzaa has changed greatly over the years, and with as many as six million getting involved in the 1980s, Kwanzaa became a mainstream holiday. Now, however, numbers have paled, but it still remains an important cultural touchstone (试金石) for many African American communities. 32．(2.5分)What activity can be included during the celebration of Kwanzaa? A．Creating a piece of music. B．Having a plentiful meal. C．Giving and receiving gifts. D．Enjoying an art exhibition. 33．(2.5分)How did Dr. Karenga bring Kwanzaa to life? A．He started the Watts violence in Los Angeles. B．He created five common sets of values. C．He found ways to practice African traditions. D．He strengthened the unity of neighbors. 34．(2.5分)What can we infer about the celebration of Kwanzaa? A．Kwanzaa is a festival across the world. B．Africans are considered important in the U.S.. C．Kwanzaa is an important cultural symbol. D．Kwanzaa is less popular among young Africans. 35．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text? A．A Festival: The Culture Across the World B．African Americans: An Important Part of Americans C．Principles: The Focus of a Festival D．Kwanzaa: The African Celebration of Unity and Culture （本题12.5分）I’m an American. This was my second Spring Festival in Qingdao and my fifth visit overall. 36(2.5分) . I already knew which relative would host the dinner on which evening. I knew the rhythm (节奏) of the meals, the predictable (可预测的) laughter at familiar stories. And yet, that predictability is precisely the point. What struck me most was not how different the Spring Festival was from holidays I had known before, but how similar it felt — the desire to return home, the joy of shared meals and the simple power of being together. 37(2.5分) . They belong to all of humanity. We choose different dates on the calendar. We cook different dishes. We tell different stories. But there is something universal: a longing to pause the rush of ordinary life and hold one another a little closer. In Qingdao, surrounded by my wife’s family, I did not feel like an outsider observing a foreign tradition. 38(2.5分) . That was recognition. I realize that our holidays, however different in form, are united in purpose. I also realize that the world, for all its complexity, still moves to the same quiet rhythm of family and belonging. If there is something truly extraordinary about the Spring Festival, it is its scale or history. 39(2.5分) . I hope more people have the opportunity to experience the Spring Festival in China, whether traveling independently or, if they are fortunate, welcomed into a family home. 40(2.5分) . Because the truest cultural exchange is not about difference at all, but about the quiet revelation (发现) that we are, in the ways that matter most, beautifully the same. A．There were few surprises left for me B．I felt something far more meaningful C．More importantly, it is its familiarity D．Everything around me sounded quite strange E．They will definitely receive congratulations from the family home F．Not simply to see something different, but to discover something shared G．These feelings are not unique to the Chinese, Americans, or any particular people 三、完形填空 How Archaeology Changed from Digging to Protecting The word “archaeology” comes from the Greek word arkhaios, which means “ancient.” Although some archaeologists study living 41 , most focus on the distant past. For thousands of years, people have searched for and dug up ancient monuments, often not as scholars but as grave robbers whose only goal was to steal valuables quickly, caring little about the structures around them. Their actions 42 caused damage to historical sites. In ancient Egypt, grave robbing was so common that many tombs had hidden rooms where families placed treasures. This problem 43 for centuries. In the 1800s, the tomb of Pharaoh (法老) Ramses I, who ruled briefly in the 1290s BCE, was discovered and stolen. It contained pottery, paintings, sculptures, and the pharaoh’s mummy, which eventually ended up in a museum before being returned to Egypt in 2003. 44 , grave robbers never discovered the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun, also known as King Tut. His resting place lay 45 for thousands of years until it was discovered in 1922. The tomb contained the mummies of Tutankhamun and his family, along with thousands of artifacts (文物), providing 46 insights into ancient Egyptian life. It remains one of the most well-known archaeological 47 in history. Early archaeology was also closely linked to 48 and colonial (殖民的) power. When Napoleon Bonaparte invaded Egypt in 1798, he brought artists and scholars to document the conquest, while his troops 49 hundreds of tons of artifacts, many of which now fill the Louvre. Similarly, wealthy adventurers from Western colonial powers 50 digs in Greece and elsewhere. Although they were often genuinely interested in the past, their work was 51 to colonialism, as seen in the case of the Elgin Marbles, which Greece has long requested returned as part of its cultural heritage. Such activities highlight both the historical fascination with ancient civilizations and the ethical (伦理的) challenges that 52 early archaeology. Over time, archaeology became more 53 . Scientists began using standard measurements and formalized methods for recording and removing artifacts. Detailed drawings of dig sites and individual items became standard, and archaeologists collaborated with historians and linguists to create a unified 54 of the past. In the 20th century, archaeologists also 55 their ethical responsibilities. Today, most countries recognize that archaeological remains belong to the nation where they are found, reflecting a growing respect for cultural heritage and the protection of history. 41．A．sculptures B．cultures C．populations D．creatures 42．A．barely B．randomly C．inevitably D．slightly 43．A．persisted B．burst C．emerged D．arose 44．A．Similarly B．What’s more C．As a result D．By contrast 45．A．undervalued B．unsupervised C．misinterpreted D．undisturbed 46．A．innocent B．invaluable C．greedy D．artificial 47．A．features B．reserves C．finds D．regrets 48．A．voluntary B．literal C．military D．religious 49．A．celebrated B．donated C．removed D．launched 50．A．drew on B．carried out C．depended on D．objected to 51．A．delivered B．opposed C．unexposed D．tied 52．A．accompanied B．diversified C．branded D．embraced 53．A．theoretical B．mysterious C．transitional D．systematic 54．A．instinct B．rhythm C．prediction D．picture 55．A．denied B．simplified C．reassessed D．misrepresented 四、语法填空 （本题15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Admiring flowers is one of life’s delights. 56(1.5分) the West, where people appreciate flowers at exhibitions, China has a long-standing custom of flower-viewing banquets (赏花宴). During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the court often organized grand banquets for Jinshi, or Presented Scholars, 57(1.5分) would explore gardens for fresh and rare flowers. In the Song Dynasty, officials held regular gatherings that combined flower admiration with fishing and poetry composition. At these banquets, flowers 58(1.5分) (wear) in the hair as a mark of honor—a custom called “zanhua”. And the scholar Xu Xuan famously used fallen flowers 59(1.5分) (seat) his guests. The Chinese approach to flower appreciation offers a multi-sensory 60(1.5分) (spirit) experience. People can take pleasure in 61(1.5分) (leisure) observing their shapes, enjoying their smells, listening to the sounds of the garden, and tasting the flower-flavored dishes.
