(如果你对写歌感兴趣，有专门的工作坊等着你释放创造力。)”可知，除了享受音乐和美食，游客还可以参加工作坊创作原创歌曲。 22．细节理解题。根据Ticket Prices部分“Disability Concessions £93 (残疾人优惠票价93英镑)”以及Accommodation & Camping部分“camping tickets must be purchased separately at a rate of £45 per tent. A single camping ticket provides one plot (露营票必须单独购买，每个帐篷45英镑。一张露营票提供一个地块)”可知，一个露营地块需要£45。因此，该残疾成年人需要支付的总费用是93+45=138英镑。 23．细节理解题。根据Parking & Drop-Off部分“Free authorized drop-off access is reserved for three groups of visitors only, but prior application is required.

This could be in the form of a visit to a theme park or a staycation in a new hotel. “As a result, their desire to buy things has gone down. This is our way of addressing their basic needs,” said Mehta. In December 2019, Mehta took the family to visit the Indian city of Dharamshala where they spent time with poor children in a school. This was an eye-opener for Alisha and Yuvraj, as they realised that what was normal for them was a treat for those kids. “For those kids, it is a blessing (幸福) to be able to attend school. This experience taught my kids to count their blessings,” said Mehta. During the holiday, the Mehta family gave away pens and pencils to 250 children. This helped Alisha and Yuvraj understand the cost difference in schooling. “They notice how much we spend on their education. The difference in costs helped them make a comparison,” explained Mehta. Back home, the kids are encouraged to do basic housework like making their beds, opening curtains, etc. But Mehta never gives them money for doing those things. This way, they are taught that everyone has to chip in to keep the household running. When they do other tasks beyond the essentials, like massaging the mother’s shoulders, etc., Mehta pays them a small amount. Pointing out a weakness in the education system, Mehta said children don’t get any experience in financial literacy (知识) until they attend university. The father is planning to introduce the concept of a family bank to his children. He also wants his children to pay attention to financial pitfalls such as spending beyond their means, too much use of credit cards, etc. He has set a plan on how money will be spent on some needs. It’s up to his children to use the money carefully. 24．(2.5分)What do we know about Mehta’s way of gifting his children? A．It isn’t really to their liking. B．It changes the way they buy things. C．It allows him to connect with them. D．It teaches them about spending money wisely. 25．(2.5分)What did Mehta’s children learn during the visit to Dharamshala? A．They should appreciate what they have. B．They should make friends with the poor. C．They should cut the cost of their education. D．They should treat different people differently. 26．(2.5分)Why did Mehta refuse to pay his children for doing housework? A．To warn that they must work hard to make money. B．To show that it’s what they’re supposed to do. C．To encourage them to be selfless and careful. D．To force them to develop a good habit. 27．(2.5分)What is the problem with the education system according to Mehta? A．It doesn’t prepare children for money management. B．It doesn’t suggest the importance of saving money. C．It doesn’t encourage children to pay with cash. D．It doesn’t teach children ways to make money. 【答案】24．D 25．A 26．B 27．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了一位居住在阿联酋的印度父亲，如何通过给予孩子体验式礼物来培养他们的价值观，而不是传统的物质礼物。这位父亲注重培养孩子的价值观和财务意识。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段“Saahil Mehta, a 40-year-old Indian living in the United Arab Emirates, believes in gifting his two children, Yuvraj, 8 and Alisha, 6, experiences rather than material possessions ( 东西) to celebrate special occasions. This could be in the form of a visit to a theme park or a staycation in a new hotel.( Saahil Mehta是一位居住在阿联酋的40岁印度人，他认为在庆祝特殊场合时，给他的两个孩子，8岁的Yuvraj和6岁的Alisha，提供体验式礼物而不是物质礼物是有意义的。这可能包括去主题公园游玩或者在新酒店度过一段假期。)”以及第二段中“As a result, their desire to buy things has gone down. This is our way of addressing their basic needs(因此，他们购买东西的欲望下降了。这是我们解决他们基本需求的方式)”可知，Mehta 在庆祝一些特殊的日子时，不会送孩子们物质的东西。他可能会带孩子们去主题公园游玩或者在家附近新开的酒店度假。他的这种做法让孩子们没那么看重物质的东西，自然，他们会觉得没必要花钱去购买非必需品。故选D。 25．推理判断题。由第三段中的“This was an eye-opener for Alisha and Yuvraj, as they realised that what was normal for them was a treat for those kids. (这让Alisha和Yuvraj大开眼界，因为他们意识到，对他们来说很正常的事情，对那些孩子来说却是一种享受。)”以及本段中““For those kids, it is a blessing ( 幸福) to be able to attend school. This experience taught my kids to count their blessings,” said Mehta.(“对这些孩子来说，能够上学是一种福气。这次经历教会了我的孩子们要珍惜自己的幸福。”Mehta说)”可知，这次旅行让Mehta的孩子们意识到他们拥有很多东西，他们应该感恩。故选A。 26．细节理解题。倒数第二段中“But Mehta never gives them money for doing those things. This way, they are taught that everyone has to chip in to keep the household running. (但Mehta从不给他们钱。通过这种方式，他们被教导每个人都必须出力来维持家庭的运转。)”可知，Mehta拒绝给他的孩子做家务的钱，其目的是让孩子们意识到自己是家庭的一员，有义务去做家务。故选B。 27．推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Pointing out a weakness in the education system, Mehta said children don’t get any experience in financial literacy (知识) until they attend university. (Mehta指出了教育系统的一个弱点，他说，孩子们在上大学之前没有任何金融知识的经验。)”可知，在当前的教育体制下，孩子们从小理财知识匮乏，即教育体系不会让孩子们为理财做好准备。故选A。 （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）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 【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）Money habits are the small daily decisions we make that influence how we spend and save our money.

In fact, insects can not hear the thunder. 60(1.5分) (animal) wake up because the weather is warming up and they are ending their hibernation. Eating pears is a custom during Jingzhe. Because the weather is dry during this time, eating pears can be hydrating (保湿的) and 61(1.5分) (relief) a dry throat.

With a heart full of dreams and a little bit of nervousness, he flew to the United Kingdom to start a new adventure. He had always imagined what it would be like to walk through the historic streets of England and meet people from different parts of the world. But as soon as he arrived at his new school, he felt a little unsure. In his new class, Li Ming struggled to start conversations with his British classmates. They spoke so quickly and used words and phrases he didn’t understand. When he tried to join their conversations during lunch break, he felt shy about his accent and worried that he might say something wrong. He also noticed that British students seemed to value their personal space more than he was used to, which made it even harder for him to find the right moment to start a meaningful talk. Group work was even harder. During a group project in literature class, Li Ming had trouble explaining his ideas clearly, feeling like his ideas were getting lost in translation. And he started to doubt himself. Social events outside of class were just as difficult. At a school party, Li Ming watched his classmates laugh, dance, and sing along to the latest pop songs. He felt left out, not knowing the songs or the dance moves. He wanted to join the fun, but overcome with the fear of looking silly. One day, the school announced a talent show, Li Ming, who practiced traditional Chinese kung fu, really wanted to try. While he was hesitating, a group of British students interested in cultural performances invited him to join them. Li Ming agreed. He trained intensely and rehearsed(排练) endlessly with the goal of achieving a faultless display. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One month later, his long－awaited moment finally came. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】【参考范文】 One month later, his long－awaited moment finally came. The school auditorium buzzed with excitement as students filled the seats. Backstage, Li Ming stood in his kung fu costume, his hands slightly trembling. When the curtain rose, cheers fell over the room. His fluid movements combining strength and grace drew gasps of admiration. When he demonstrated a dragon style, the British students clapped enthusiastically. By the time he finished a high, sweeping kick and landed firmly on the floor, the audience was on their feet, totally amazed by his performance. After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. Classmates greeted him warmly in corridors, asking about kung fu philosophies. In literature class, group members actively sought his interpretations, patiently listening to his accented English. At lunch breaks, students invited him to join conversations about cultural differences. The once－daunting school parties became opportunities to share Chinese pop songs. Most importantly, Li Ming stopped overthinking every interaction. He realized communication wasn’t about perfection, but sincere effort. Slowly, his initial adventure transformed into meaningful connections built on mutual curiosity and respect. 【详解】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个叫李明的中国交换学生在英国遇到的适应问题，最后他因为参加才艺表演而有机会展示中国功夫。 1．段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一个月后，他期盼已久的时刻终于到来。”可知，第一段需要详细描写李明在才艺展示中的具体情景，比如上台前他紧张的心情，在舞台上展示功夫的具体动作，以及英国同学观看后的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“节目结束后，李明注意到一些变化发生了。”可知，第二段需要展示表演后的积极变化，比如同学们对他的态度转变，主动与他交流，邀请他参加活动，李明课堂上的参与度提高，以及李明自身心态的变化。 2．续写线索：展示功夫——同学反应——赞叹——变化——互相交流——感悟 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Hey, did you see?

This could be in the form of a visit to a theme park or a staycation in a new hotel. “As a result, their desire to buy things has gone down. This is our way of addressing their basic needs,” said Mehta. In December 2019, Mehta took the family to visit the Indian city of Dharamshala where they spent time with poor children in a school. This was an eye-opener for Alisha and Yuvraj, as they realised that what was normal for them was a treat for those kids. “For those kids, it is a blessing (幸福) to be able to attend school. This experience taught my kids to count their blessings,” said Mehta. During the holiday, the Mehta family gave away pens and pencils to 250 children. This helped Alisha and Yuvraj understand the cost difference in schooling. “They notice how much we spend on their education. The difference in costs helped them make a comparison,” explained Mehta. Back home, the kids are encouraged to do basic housework like making their beds, opening curtains, etc. But Mehta never gives them money for doing those things. This way, they are taught that everyone has to chip in to keep the household running. When they do other tasks beyond the essentials, like massaging the mother’s shoulders, etc., Mehta pays them a small amount. Pointing out a weakness in the education system, Mehta said children don’t get any experience in financial literacy (知识) until they attend university. The father is planning to introduce the concept of a family bank to his children. He also wants his children to pay attention to financial pitfalls such as spending beyond their means, too much use of credit cards, etc. He has set a plan on how money will be spent on some needs. It’s up to his children to use the money carefully. 24．(2.5分)What do we know about Mehta’s way of gifting his children? A．It isn’t really to their liking. B．It changes the way they buy things. C．It allows him to connect with them. D．It teaches them about spending money wisely. 25．(2.5分)What did Mehta’s children learn during the visit to Dharamshala? A．They should appreciate what they have. B．They should make friends with the poor. C．They should cut the cost of their education. D．They should treat different people differently. 26．(2.5分)Why did Mehta refuse to pay his children for doing housework? A．To warn that they must work hard to make money. B．To show that it’s what they’re supposed to do. C．To encourage them to be selfless and careful. D．To force them to develop a good habit. 27．(2.5分)What is the problem with the education system according to Mehta? A．It doesn’t prepare children for money management. B．It doesn’t suggest the importance of saving money. C．It doesn’t encourage children to pay with cash. D．It doesn’t teach children ways to make money. （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．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）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）Money habits are the small daily decisions we make that influence how we spend and save our money.

With a heart full of dreams and a little bit of nervousness, he flew to the United Kingdom to start a new adventure. He had always imagined what it would be like to walk through the historic streets of England and meet people from different parts of the world. But as soon as he arrived at his new school, he felt a little unsure. In his new class, Li Ming struggled to start conversations with his British classmates. They spoke so quickly and used words and phrases he didn’t understand. When he tried to join their conversations during lunch break, he felt shy about his accent and worried that he might say something wrong. He also noticed that British students seemed to value their personal space more than he was used to, which made it even harder for him to find the right moment to start a meaningful talk. Group work was even harder. During a group project in literature class, Li Ming had trouble explaining his ideas clearly, feeling like his ideas were getting lost in translation. And he started to doubt himself. Social events outside of class were just as difficult. At a school party, Li Ming watched his classmates laugh, dance, and sing along to the latest pop songs. He felt left out, not knowing the songs or the dance moves. He wanted to join the fun, but overcome with the fear of looking silly. One day, the school announced a talent show, Li Ming, who practiced traditional Chinese kung fu, really wanted to try. While he was hesitating, a group of British students interested in cultural performances invited him to join them. Li Ming agreed. He trained intensely and rehearsed(排练) endlessly with the goal of achieving a faultless display. 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One month later, his long－awaited moment finally came. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the show, Li Ming noticed some changes happening. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
