Participants cover themselves in paint, powder, or mud and dance to steel drum and soca music, marking the unofficial start of the carnival.(这场凌晨街头庆典（黎明前就开始）源自加勒比地区的传统。参与者身上涂满颜料、粉末或泥浆，伴着钢鼓与索卡音乐起舞，标志着狂欢节非正式拉开序幕。)”可知，黎明前举办的街头活动标志着狂欢节的提早开启。 23．细节理解题。根据Where Should You Stay During New York Carnival?部分中的“A convenient area to base yourself is Brooklyn, so you’re close to the action.(布鲁克林是方便落脚的区域，你可以离活动场地很近。)”可知，住在游行路线附近的布鲁克林最为便利。 （本题10分）Growing up in an Italian-American household was, for me, pretty special. My mother, Gina, an immigrant (移民) from Calabria, held onto so many of her family’s traditions that at times, in spite of the fact that I was living in the United States, our home felt like part of Italy. To this day, my mother only speaks to me in Italian, and our conversations are, for the most part, in her mother tongue. And most of those conversations are about food. For us, Italian food is an important part of our lives. My mom grew up on a farm where the fruits of their labor directly turned into the food on the table, and wasting any of it was unacceptable. Every day was “Thanksgiving” because times were tough, so how food found its way onto the table was a holy (神圣的) matter. One of the greatest lessons my mother taught me in the kitchen is to cook what you have on hand, and to never let anything go to waste. So, when I take a perfect little arancini (意大利饭团) out of the hot oil, I am immediately transported back to my childhood. I am a little girl getting off the bus and running through the back door to the smell of the food. This small snack emblematizes so many important parts in my life about my heritage through food. Heritage food is Sunday dinner with the family. When we recreate dishes like that, we feel a sense of pride and also a sense of continuity. Heritage food is the love we receive from our parents and grandparents, and it’s the love we in turn give to our children and grandchildren. Heritage food is food that makes you feel safe and protected wherever and whenever you eat it. Eating arancini, and all the other recipes my mother continues to make here in the U. S. after leaving Italy, allows her to teach me who I am, where I come from, and why I should be proud of it all. 24．(2.5分)What can we learn about the author’s mother? A．She is very tough on her children. B．She refuses to learn to speak English. C．She thinks her life in the U. S. special. D．She values her family’s traditions a lot. 25．(2.5分)What does the author imply by mentioning “Thanksgiving”? A．She enjoyed the food her mother prepared. B．This holiday was very important for her mother. C．Her family treasured the food that didn’t come easy. D．The food was delivered to her family on Thanksgiving. 26．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “emblematizes” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Symbolizes. B．Balances. C．Judges. D．Replaces. 27．(2.5分)What does the author think of heritage food? A．It is becoming popular among American families. B．It offers a sense of safety when one lives in America. C．It passes on family love from generation to generation. D．It reminds parents to take good care of their children. 【答案】24．D 25．C 26．A 27．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述的是在作者的家庭中，传统食物——特别是意大利菜——作为文化传承和家庭纽带的重要性。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My mother, Gina, an immigrant (移民) from Calabria, held onto so many of her family’s traditions that at times, in spite of the fact that I was living in the United States, our home felt like part of Italy.(我的母亲Gina是来自Calabria的移民，她保留了许多家族的传统，以至于有时，尽管我住在美国，但我们的家感觉就像意大利的一部分。)”可知，作者的母亲非常重视家庭传统。故选D。 25． 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Every day was “Thanksgiving” because times were tough, so how food found its way onto the table was a holy (神圣的) matter. One of the greatest lessons my mother taught me in the kitchen is to cook what you have on hand, and to never let anything go to waste.(每天都是“感恩节”，因为时局艰难，所以食物如何出现在餐桌上是一件神圣的事情。我母亲在厨房教给我的最重要的一课是，做你手头上有什么就做什么，永远不要浪费任何东西。)”可知，作者提到感恩节是为了表明她的家人珍惜来之不易的食物，故选C。 26． 词句猜测题。根据第四段“So, when I take a perfect little arancini (意大利饭团) out of the hot oil, I am immediately transported back to my childhood.(所以，当我从热油中取出一个完美的意大利饭团时，我立刻回到了我的童年。)”，“This small snack(这个小点心)”和“so many important parts in my life about my heritage through food(我生活中许多重要的部分，通过食物来传承我的传统)”可知，这个点心象征着作者生活中许多重要的部分，划线词emblematizes的意思是“象征”，和symbolizes意思相近。故选A。 27．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Heritage food is the love we receive from our parents and grandparents, and it's the love we in turn give to our children and grandchildren. Heritage food is food that makes you feel safe and protected wherever and whenever you eat it.(传统食品是我们从父母和祖父母那里得到的爱，也是我们反过来给予子孙后代的爱。传统食品是无论何时何地吃都能让你感到安全和受到保护的食品。)”可知，作者认为传统食物是代代相传的爱。故选C。 （本题10分）Leaving the childhood comforts of kindergarten (幼儿园) and moving on to “real school” can be “scary”. So, on their first day of school when entering the first grade, German children traditionally receive a cone-shaped (锥形的) bag. And the bag, called the Schultute, is always filled with treats and toys to make starting school much sweeter. In the early 1800s in Jena, children were told there was a candy tree in the teacher’s yard, and that when they were old enough to reach it, they could start school. From there the custom spread to Berlin. Back then, the cone was simply a paper one — like those from candy stores — filled with sugary treats. After World War I, the custom spread south and west in Germany. The well-known German author Erich Kastner wrote in his 1957 book, When I Was a Young Man, “When I was a child, I received a bag filled with sweets…” But up through the 1960s, it was not a common practice. One thing to note: the Schultute is always opened at home, not at school. This practice was especially meaningful during difficult times, when the cone might hold some simple handmade gifts. And at home, with no one else watching, the child could see how much thought went into every little gift — each one saying, “You matter!”. Today, parents in Germany still buy the Schultute and fill it with a mix of practical school supplies — like pencils, crayons, and notebooks — along with small toys and sweets. Some parents choose to add surprises, such as colorful stickers, fun erasers, or a special book, while others prefer to keep it simple. It’s up to the parents to decide the contents (内容物). In my opinion, the Schultute doesn’t need to be expensive but remains necessary, as it is a lovely tradition that celebrates a child growing up. 28．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the Schultute tradition? A．To provide school supplies for kids. B．To celebrate the end of kindergarten. C．To praise kids for their good performances. D．To make kids less worried about the new start. 29．(2.5分)What is mainly discussed about the Schultute tradition in paragraph 2? A．Its important changes. B．The way of celebrating it. C．Its historical development. D．The reason for its popularity. 30．(2.5分)Why was it meaningful to open the Schultute at home in hard times? A．It could save money. B．It made kids feel valued. C．It avoided showing off. D．It kept the gifts a secret. 31．(2.5分)What can be learned about the contents of the Schultute? A．They show kids’ preferences. B．They meet certain standards. C．They can be both useful and enjoyable. D．They are expected to be shared among kids. 【答案】28．D 29．C 30．B 31．C 【导语】本文主要介绍德国一个传统习俗：孩子上小学一年级第一天会收到Schultute（开学锥形礼包）。文章讲述了它的起源、发展历史、打开的讲究、如今礼包里面的物品，最后作者认为这个传统不必昂贵，但很有意义，用来庆祝孩子长大。 【详解】28．推理判断题。根据第一段“So, on their first day of school when entering the first grade, German children traditionally receive a cone-shaped (锥形的) bag. And the bag, called the Schultute, is always filled with treats and toys to make starting school much sweeter.(因此，按照德国传统，孩子升入一年级开学第一天，会收到一个锥形袋子，叫做Schultute(开学礼包)。袋子里装满零食和玩具，让开学这件事变得美好愉快。)”可知，“Schultute”传统的主要目的是让孩子对新学期的到来不再担忧。 29．主旨大意题。根据第二段“In the early 1800s in Jena, children were told there was a candy tree in the teacher’s yard, and that when they were old enough to reach it, they could start school. From there the custom spread to Berlin.(19 世纪初，在耶拿，大人们告诉孩子们，老师的院子里长着一棵糖果树。等孩子长到够得到这棵树的时候，就可以去上学。这个习俗从耶拿传到柏林。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是“Schultute”的历史发展。 30．细节理解题。根据第三段“This practice was especially meaningful during difficult times, when the cone might hold some simple handmade gifts. And at home, with no one else watching, the child could see how much thought went into every little gift — each one saying, “You matter!”.(在物资匮乏的年代，这一习惯意义非凡，袋子里装的或许只是简单的手工礼物。在家中，没有旁人围观，孩子能够感受到每一件小礼物所倾注的心意，每一份礼物都在传递：“你很重要！”)”可知，在困难时期，在家中举行“Schultute”仪式可以让孩子们感到被重视。   31．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Today, parents in Germany still buy the Schultute and fill it with a mix of practical school supplies — like pencils, crayons, and notebooks — along with small toys and sweets. Some parents choose to add surprises, such as colorful stickers, fun erasers, or a special book, while others prefer to keep it simple.(如今德国父母依旧会购置 Schultute，里面既有铅笔、蜡笔、笔记本这类实用学习用品，也搭配小玩具和糖果。有些家长会放上彩色贴纸、趣味橡皮、特别的书籍这类惊喜小物件，也有些家长喜欢简简单单。)”可知，“Schultute”的内容物既实用又有趣。   （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.

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.

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.

It was the first Easter we had ever spent away from home. Being an anxious and sensitive six-year-old, I had asked my mom several times if the Easter Bunny would be able to find us. She assured me there would be eggs. On Easter morning, we found the Easter Bunny had left eggs on the hotel’s main lawn (草地) for all the kids. As I joined the other kids, I found they were much bigger than me. The hotel staff member in charge of the hunt explained the rules — only kids could pick up the eggs and adults could just provide help or encouragement. My heart raced as I watched the other kids get into a pose to start. When the staff member yelled (大叫) “GO!”, the other kids ran from tree to tree looking for the plastic Easter eggs filled with candy. I ran to the closest tree but found nothing. My dad waved me on encouragingly as my mom walked behind me. When I looked across the lawn and saw others holding up eggs, I knew my chances were becoming slimmer. Just then, my mom pointed to a small tree. “Look! There’s one!” A shiny blue egg was resting on the ground against the base. I looked up at her with excitement. But instead of smiling back, she was staring to the left, at a bigger kid. My mom said to me, “Run after me!” I had never seen my petite (娇小的) mom run before. She had been born with weak knees and had worn special shoes to correct a foot problem. To be honest, I sometimes felt embarrassed for my mom’s “strange” figure. I still remembered the school fair where other kids pointed at her and whispered. From then on, I always begged her to stay behind me in crowded places. She never complained — she would just smile and take a step back. 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。 Desiring to get the egg, I followed my mom’s advice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I held up the shiny blue egg and smiled at my mom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Desiring to get the egg, I followed my mom’s advice. I chased her as fast as I could. Watching her from behind, I noticed her running was awkward — her knees bent oddly and her steps were uneven. Yet she never slowed down — neither did I. She reached the tree first, turned around, and waved her arms wildly. “Over here! Quick,” she shouted, standing right in front of the egg. I ran harder, my heart pounding. When I finally got there, I bent down and picked up the shiny blue egg before the other kid arrived. I held up the shiny blue egg and smiled at my mom. She was out of breath, her face red, but her eyes were full of joy and pride. I suddenly remembered all the times I had felt ashamed of her petite figure. But at that time, I saw her differently. She had run, for the first time, for me — with her weak knees — so that I would not leave empty-handed and disappointed. From that day on, I never felt ashamed of my mom again. Her love made her the greatest person in my world. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了六岁的我和父母在佛罗里达度假时参加酒店复活节寻蛋活动，因自己体型小而担心找不到彩蛋，但在身有残疾的妈妈的奔跑掩护下成功捡到蓝色彩蛋，从而理解了母爱的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写我听从妈妈的建议，在妈妈奔跑掩护下努力追赶并成功捡到彩蛋的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写我捡到彩蛋后对妈妈态度的转变，理解了妈妈的爱，不再为她的身材感到羞愧。 2. 续写线索：渴望得蛋——听从建议——追赶妈妈——捡到彩蛋——举起彩蛋——微笑对视——感悟母爱 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①追赶：chase/run after/catch up with ②慢下来：slow down/slack sb.’s pace 情绪类 ①高兴：joy/delight ②失望的：disappointed/despondent 【点睛】【高分句型1】When I finally got there, I bent down and picked up the shiny blue egg before the other kid arrived.

My mother, Gina, an immigrant (移民) from Calabria, held onto so many of her family’s traditions that at times, in spite of the fact that I was living in the United States, our home felt like part of Italy. To this day, my mother only speaks to me in Italian, and our conversations are, for the most part, in her mother tongue. And most of those conversations are about food. For us, Italian food is an important part of our lives. My mom grew up on a farm where the fruits of their labor directly turned into the food on the table, and wasting any of it was unacceptable. Every day was “Thanksgiving” because times were tough, so how food found its way onto the table was a holy (神圣的) matter. One of the greatest lessons my mother taught me in the kitchen is to cook what you have on hand, and to never let anything go to waste. So, when I take a perfect little arancini (意大利饭团) out of the hot oil, I am immediately transported back to my childhood. I am a little girl getting off the bus and running through the back door to the smell of the food. This small snack emblematizes so many important parts in my life about my heritage through food. Heritage food is Sunday dinner with the family. When we recreate dishes like that, we feel a sense of pride and also a sense of continuity. Heritage food is the love we receive from our parents and grandparents, and it’s the love we in turn give to our children and grandchildren. Heritage food is food that makes you feel safe and protected wherever and whenever you eat it. Eating arancini, and all the other recipes my mother continues to make here in the U. S. after leaving Italy, allows her to teach me who I am, where I come from, and why I should be proud of it all. 24．(2.5分)What can we learn about the author’s mother? A．She is very tough on her children. B．She refuses to learn to speak English. C．She thinks her life in the U. S. special. D．She values her family’s traditions a lot. 25．(2.5分)What does the author imply by mentioning “Thanksgiving”? A．She enjoyed the food her mother prepared. B．This holiday was very important for her mother. C．Her family treasured the food that didn’t come easy. D．The food was delivered to her family on Thanksgiving. 26．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “emblematizes” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Symbolizes. B．Balances. C．Judges. D．Replaces. 27．(2.5分)What does the author think of heritage food? A．It is becoming popular among American families. B．It offers a sense of safety when one lives in America. C．It passes on family love from generation to generation. D．It reminds parents to take good care of their children. （本题10分）Leaving the childhood comforts of kindergarten (幼儿园) and moving on to “real school” can be “scary”. So, on their first day of school when entering the first grade, German children traditionally receive a cone-shaped (锥形的) bag. And the bag, called the Schultute, is always filled with treats and toys to make starting school much sweeter. In the early 1800s in Jena, children were told there was a candy tree in the teacher’s yard, and that when they were old enough to reach it, they could start school. From there the custom spread to Berlin. Back then, the cone was simply a paper one — like those from candy stores — filled with sugary treats. After World War I, the custom spread south and west in Germany. The well-known German author Erich Kastner wrote in his 1957 book, When I Was a Young Man, “When I was a child, I received a bag filled with sweets…” But up through the 1960s, it was not a common practice. One thing to note: the Schultute is always opened at home, not at school. This practice was especially meaningful during difficult times, when the cone might hold some simple handmade gifts. And at home, with no one else watching, the child could see how much thought went into every little gift — each one saying, “You matter!”. Today, parents in Germany still buy the Schultute and fill it with a mix of practical school supplies — like pencils, crayons, and notebooks — along with small toys and sweets. Some parents choose to add surprises, such as colorful stickers, fun erasers, or a special book, while others prefer to keep it simple. It’s up to the parents to decide the contents (内容物). In my opinion, the Schultute doesn’t need to be expensive but remains necessary, as it is a lovely tradition that celebrates a child growing up. 28．(2.5分)What is the main purpose of the Schultute tradition? A．To provide school supplies for kids. B．To celebrate the end of kindergarten. C．To praise kids for their good performances. D．To make kids less worried about the new start. 29．(2.5分)What is mainly discussed about the Schultute tradition in paragraph 2? A．Its important changes. B．The way of celebrating it. C．Its historical development. D．The reason for its popularity. 30．(2.5分)Why was it meaningful to open the Schultute at home in hard times? A．It could save money. B．It made kids feel valued. C．It avoided showing off. D．It kept the gifts a secret. 31．(2.5分)What can be learned about the contents of the Schultute? A．They show kids’ preferences. B．They meet certain standards. C．They can be both useful and enjoyable. D．They are expected to be shared among kids. （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.

It was the first Easter we had ever spent away from home. Being an anxious and sensitive six-year-old, I had asked my mom several times if the Easter Bunny would be able to find us. She assured me there would be eggs. On Easter morning, we found the Easter Bunny had left eggs on the hotel’s main lawn (草地) for all the kids. As I joined the other kids, I found they were much bigger than me. The hotel staff member in charge of the hunt explained the rules — only kids could pick up the eggs and adults could just provide help or encouragement. My heart raced as I watched the other kids get into a pose to start. When the staff member yelled (大叫) “GO!”, the other kids ran from tree to tree looking for the plastic Easter eggs filled with candy. I ran to the closest tree but found nothing. My dad waved me on encouragingly as my mom walked behind me. When I looked across the lawn and saw others holding up eggs, I knew my chances were becoming slimmer. Just then, my mom pointed to a small tree. “Look! There’s one!” A shiny blue egg was resting on the ground against the base. I looked up at her with excitement. But instead of smiling back, she was staring to the left, at a bigger kid. My mom said to me, “Run after me!” I had never seen my petite (娇小的) mom run before. She had been born with weak knees and had worn special shoes to correct a foot problem. To be honest, I sometimes felt embarrassed for my mom’s “strange” figure. I still remembered the school fair where other kids pointed at her and whispered. From then on, I always begged her to stay behind me in crowded places. She never complained — she would just smile and take a step back. 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。 Desiring to get the egg, I followed my mom’s advice. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I held up the shiny blue egg and smiled at my mom. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
