Unit 2 Let's celebrate! 庆祝活动 单元阅读精练 No matter where you travel around the world, people love festivals. Here are three world-famous festivals that many people hope to visit. Burning Man, held in Black Rock Desert in Nevada, the US, started in 1986, when two men built a makeshift (临时搭建的) wooden figure and burned it on the beach. Now it has grown into a huge art festival. Every year, thousands of visitors gather here to show their creativity, cooperate with others and take community responsibility. People wear fantastic and unusual costumes. The festival lasts from late August to Labor Day. At the climax, the big wooden “Man” is burned. After that, all the simple buildings in the desert are cleared away, leaving almost no waste. Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is widely seen as one of the world’s liveliest celebrations. It falls in February or March, right before Lent (四旬斋) , an important religious period for local Catholics. Nearly five million people take part each year, including lots of foreign tourists. More than seventy samba schools (桑巴舞团) join the competition. Their colorful costumes and energetic dances amaze every visitor. The final show takes place in the Sambadrome (桑巴大道) , where top groups compete for big awards. The third is the Harbin International Ice & Snow Sculpture Festival in northeast China. Harbin is terribly cold in winter, with temperatures dropping far below zero. Officially starting on January 5, the festival runs for about a month. It is home to the largest ice sculptures on the planet. Sun Island displays giant ice artworks, while Ice and Snow World shines brightly at night with colorful lights on ice buildings. Visitors can ski, enjoy ice lantern shows, or even try winter swimming in the freezing river. These festivals show different local cultures and bring great joy to people from all over the world. 【译文欣赏】 无论你去往世界哪个角落，人们都热爱节日。下面是三个很多人都想去体验的世界级节日。 美国内华达州黑岩沙漠举办的火人节始于 1986 年：两名男子搭建了一个临时木人，在海滩上将它点燃。如今它已经发展成一场盛大的艺术节。每年成千上万访客聚集于此，展示创造力、与人协作、承担社群责任。人们穿上奇幻独特的服饰。节日从八月下旬持续到美国劳动节。高潮环节，巨大木制“人像”被点燃。在此之后，沙漠里所有简易搭建物都会被清理干净，几乎不留任何垃圾。 巴西里约热内卢狂欢节被广泛认为是世界上最热闹的庆典之一。它在二月或三月，也就是当地天主教重要宗教时期——四旬斋之前举行。每年将近五百万人参与，其中包含大量外国游客。七十多支桑巴舞团参加竞赛。他们色彩绚烂的服装、充满活力的舞蹈让每一位游客惊叹。最终展演在桑巴大道举行，顶尖舞团在这里角逐高额奖项。 第三个是中国东北的哈尔滨国际冰雪雕塑节。哈尔滨冬天极其寒冷，气温远低于零度。节日官方起始日期为 1 月 5 日，持续大约一个月。这里拥有全球规模最大的冰雕作品。太阳岛陈列巨型冰艺作品；冰雪大世界夜晚灯火璀璨，冰建筑上装点着彩灯。游客可以滑雪、观赏冰灯展，甚至尝试在冰冷的江水里冬泳。这些节日展现了各异的本土文化，给全世界人们带来欢乐。 【词汇积累】 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ ( 1 / 29 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1.climax n. 高潮 2.costume n. 服装，戏服 3.cooperate v. 合作，协作 4.religious adj. 宗教的 5.sculpture n. 雕塑 6.freezing adj. 极冷的，冰冻的 【知识拓展】 火人节 Burning Man：核心准则 Leave No Trace（不留痕迹），是它最标志性的文化内核，倡导临时社群、艺术表达、自给自足。 里约狂欢节 Carnival：天主教传统，狂欢在斋戒前尽情欢庆；桑巴是巴西文化名片。 哈尔滨冰雪节：中国标志性冰雪文旅活动，是国内少数登上英语外刊的中国节日。 【词汇延伸】 1.cooperate v. 合作 → cooperation n. 合作 → cooperative adj. 乐于合作的 2.compete v. 竞争 → competition n. 竞赛 → competitive adj. 有竞争力的 3.freeze v. 结冰，冻住 → freezing adj. 极冷的 → frozen adj. 冻僵的、冷冻的 【高考真题链接】 （2026·浙江·高考真题） The City of Burlington public art program is presenting a series of temporary public art signs at the Beachway in conjunction with the Ontario Culture Days.

Passage 3 （25-26高一下·吉林松原·期中） Halloween is coming, and seeing everyone plan out their costumes got me thinking back to my childhood and the costumes I wore. As I grew older, I started having mixed feelings about Halloween. I still like Halloween, and always love a full pocket of candy, but it’s not the same excitement as when I was a kid. There’s just something about being a kid that made it so much better. And for me, that was coordinated (搭配协调的) family costumes. It went like this: My parents would pick a theme and have each of us dress accordingly. Most of our Halloween costumes, whether family-themed or solo (单独的), were homemade. Unfortunately, I didn’t always appreciate that. In second grade, I broke tradition by wanting to get a store-bought butterfly costume. I really liked that costume; it was fun to wear. But looking back on it now, I loved our homemade costumes so much more because those costumes were memorable and made with love. Being dressed up all together and having that shared experience really strengthened our family connection and made Halloween something to look forward to. Recalling my experiences, I wondered if other families did the same. I decided to look around on some popular Halloween store websites to see if they had specific collections of family costumes. On Spirit Halloween’s website, there was a group and family costume section, so that was a good sign. Also, Party City had a very large collection of family Halloween costumes, which made me even more hopeful. To confirm, I called the local Party City and asked if the staff had observed families buying costumes together. To my delight, the manager said yes! She noticed that families buy them costumes every year. Whether it’s homemade or store-bought, it’s good to know family Halloween costumes aren’t dying. Although the days of coordinated family costumes for me have passed, the memories of those fun times will last forever. 7．What made the author’s childhood Halloween special? A．Candies. B．Events. C．Clothes. D．Atmosphere. 8．What does the author think of homemade Halloween costumes now? A．They are outdated. B．They are meaningful. C．They are costly. D．They are comfortable. 9．Why did the author visit some Halloween store websites? A．To learn how to make a Halloween costume. B．To compare the prices of Halloween costumes. C．To buy family Halloween costumes for himself. D．To check the popularity of family Halloween costumes. 10．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．DIY Halloween Costumes: A Creative Activity B．Family Halloween Costumes: A Timeless Tradition C．The Magic of Halloween: Costumes, Candy, and More D．Store-Bought or Homemade: A Hard Choice Passage 4 （25-26高一下·湖北·期中） For some families, birthday parties that often end up with bags of plastic can be a source of stress, or even shame. Many parents say the gifting aspect upsets them. But can a party really be a party without presents? According to Charlotte Mason-Curl, it’s possible! Like many parents, Mason-Curl experienced climate anxiety after her daughter’s birthday party and became determined to make a change. She wanted to get rid of the usual gift-giving tradition and replace it with something more sustainable. She launched the Kids’ Party Pact — a digital promise to take a low-waste approach to hosting and attending birthday parties. The pact has three parts: agreeing not to use plastic bags; giving secondhand or homemade gifts (or none); and issuing guidance on greener gifts for their own children. The response from parents has been positive. “I thought we were the only family who had these concerns,” wrote one mother. “So happy other parents feel the same!” The pact provides suggested wording for invitations to help parents communicate their stance (立场) without causing problems. For example: “Gifts are not required.” If you insist on being a rule breaker, a homemade card or a hand-picked flower would be welcome, but not necessary! “We’re so truly accustomed not to turning up empty-handed, even if we’re asked to,” Mason-Curl explains. “It’s better to give people some guidance, telling them what to bring, than to tell them not to bring anything, because often they still bring a little something. A little something times 20 equals an alarmingly large amount of waste.” Thanks to the Kids’ Party Pact, we are reminded that true celebration doesn’t depend on material gifts. By giving up expensive presents, we can focus on precious time with loved ones and protect our planet. It teaches both parents and children that love and friendship are the most valuable gifts, far more meaningful than any wrapped plastic or fancy goods. 11．What can be inferred from the first paragraph? A．The Kids’ Party Pact has been widely accepted by all parents. B．Plastic bags are the biggest source of waste at birthday parties. C．Many parents feel upset about the traditional gift-giving tradition. D．Homemade gifts are more popular than secondhand gifts among parents. 12．Why did Charlotte Mason-Curl launch the Kids’ Party Pact? A．She hoped to earn money from the digital promise. B．She wanted to make her daughter’s birthday more fun. C．She found that parents were not interested in birthday parties. D．She was worried about the environmental impact of gift-giving. 13．Which of the following is a “rule-breaker” gift according to the text? A．An expensive branded backpack. B．A plastic-wrapped set of pencils. C．A handwritten card and a self-picked flower. D．A new toy car bought from a department store. 14．What can be inferred from Mason-Curl’s words in the fifth paragraph? A．Small gifts do not cause much waste. B．People are used to bringing gifts to parties. C．People should never bring anything to parties. D．Only expensive gifts are the main cause of waste.

Passage 7 （25-26高一下·安徽·阶段检测） During New Year’s Eve, some people travel to Times Square for the official countdown (倒计时). 23 For my family, we preferred (更喜欢) to spend a quiet evening at home, trying to stay awake until midnight. This didn’t change until my friend gave me a gift years ago. It was a box of 365 cards — one for each day of the year. The idea was to write on the cards daily, as one would write in the diary. I decided to use the cards as a “family diary” with highlights of each day. I didn’t have high hopes that I would keep up with this for a whole year. 24 I kept writing and finally managed to write something on each card every day of that year. On New Year’s Eve, my husband and sons were curious about what I had been writing all year. We decided we would start with the first card and read them all aloud together. We took turns reading a whole month’s worth of cards before passing the box to the next person. 25 Some cards would say something simple like, “We took a family walk after dinner tonight.” Others would say something important like, “ 26 ” As the cards were read, we would make comments like, “That was an amazing day.” After that evening, I continued writing on cards and on New Year’s Eve, we read them together. 27 It’s a fun way to review the past year, welcome the new one, and strengthen our bonds (纽带).

The festival lasts from late August to Labor Day. At the climax, the big wooden “Man” is burned. After that, all the simple buildings in the desert are cleared away, leaving almost no waste. Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is widely seen as one of the world’s liveliest celebrations. It falls in February or March, right before Lent (四旬斋) , an important religious period for local Catholics. Nearly five million people take part each year, including lots of foreign tourists. More than seventy samba schools (桑巴舞团) join the competition. Their colorful costumes and energetic dances amaze every visitor. The final show takes place in the Sambadrome (桑巴大道) , where top groups compete for big awards. The third is the Harbin International Ice & Snow Sculpture Festival in northeast China. Harbin is terribly cold in winter, with temperatures dropping far below zero. Officially starting on January 5, the festival runs for about a month. It is home to the largest ice sculptures on the planet. Sun Island displays giant ice artworks, while Ice and Snow World shines brightly at night with colorful lights on ice buildings. Visitors can ski, enjoy ice lantern shows, or even try winter swimming in the freezing river. These festivals show different local cultures and bring great joy to people from all over the world. 【译文欣赏】 无论你去往世界哪个角落，人们都热爱节日。下面是三个很多人都想去体验的世界级节日。 美国内华达州黑岩沙漠举办的火人节始于 1986 年：两名男子搭建了一个临时木人，在海滩上将它点燃。如今它已经发展成一场盛大的艺术节。每年成千上万访客聚集于此，展示创造力、与人协作、承担社群责任。人们穿上奇幻独特的服饰。节日从八月下旬持续到美国劳动节。高潮环节，巨大木制“人像”被点燃。在此之后，沙漠里所有简易搭建物都会被清理干净，几乎不留任何垃圾。 巴西里约热内卢狂欢节被广泛认为是世界上最热闹的庆典之一。它在二月或三月，也就是当地天主教重要宗教时期——四旬斋之前举行。每年将近五百万人参与，其中包含大量外国游客。七十多支桑巴舞团参加竞赛。他们色彩绚烂的服装、充满活力的舞蹈让每一位游客惊叹。最终展演在桑巴大道举行，顶尖舞团在这里角逐高额奖项。 第三个是中国东北的哈尔滨国际冰雪雕塑节。哈尔滨冬天极其寒冷，气温远低于零度。节日官方起始日期为 1 月 5 日，持续大约一个月。这里拥有全球规模最大的冰雕作品。太阳岛陈列巨型冰艺作品；冰雪大世界夜晚灯火璀璨，冰建筑上装点着彩灯。游客可以滑雪、观赏冰灯展，甚至尝试在冰冷的江水里冬泳。这些节日展现了各异的本土文化，给全世界人们带来欢乐。 【词汇积累】 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ ( 1 / 29 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1.climax n. 高潮 2.costume n. 服装，戏服 3.cooperate v. 合作，协作 4.religious adj. 宗教的 5.sculpture n. 雕塑 6.freezing adj. 极冷的，冰冻的 【知识拓展】 火人节 Burning Man：核心准则 Leave No Trace（不留痕迹），是它最标志性的文化内核，倡导临时社群、艺术表达、自给自足。 里约狂欢节 Carnival：天主教传统，狂欢在斋戒前尽情欢庆；桑巴是巴西文化名片。 哈尔滨冰雪节：中国标志性冰雪文旅活动，是国内少数登上英语外刊的中国节日。 【词汇延伸】 1.cooperate v. 合作 → cooperation n. 合作 → cooperative adj. 乐于合作的 2.compete v. 竞争 → competition n. 竞赛 → competitive adj. 有竞争力的 3.freeze v. 结冰，冻住 → freezing adj. 极冷的 → frozen adj. 冻僵的、冷冻的 【高考真题链接】 （2026·浙江·高考真题） The City of Burlington public art program is presenting a series of temporary public art signs at the Beachway in conjunction with the Ontario Culture Days.

Lantern Festival: A Happy End to New Year Celebrations It falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month, marking the close of Spring Festival. Families go out to enjoy lanterns and guess riddles, and share tangyuan at home. The round food shows people’s positive attitude toward life — hoping for peace, unity and a smooth new year for every family.

Double Ninth Festival: Gratitude and Care for Seniors Celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, it centers on respecting the elderly.

The festival carries a meaningful message: we should show thanks, patience and care to the seniors around us every day. Winter Solstice: Warm Family Love in Cold Seasons On the shortest daytime of the year, families gather to eat dumplings or glutinous rice balls.

As I grew older, I started having mixed feelings about Halloween. I still like Halloween, and always love a full pocket of candy, but it’s not the same excitement as when I was a kid. There’s just something about being a kid that made it so much better. And for me, that was coordinated (搭配协调的) family costumes. It went like this: My parents would pick a theme and have each of us dress accordingly. Most of our Halloween costumes, whether family-themed or solo (单独的), were homemade. Unfortunately, I didn’t always appreciate that. In second grade, I broke tradition by wanting to get a store-bought butterfly costume. I really liked that costume; it was fun to wear. But looking back on it now, I loved our homemade costumes so much more because those costumes were memorable and made with love. Being dressed up all together and having that shared experience really strengthened our family connection and made Halloween something to look forward to. Recalling my experiences, I wondered if other families did the same. I decided to look around on some popular Halloween store websites to see if they had specific collections of family costumes. On Spirit Halloween’s website, there was a group and family costume section, so that was a good sign. Also, Party City had a very large collection of family Halloween costumes, which made me even more hopeful. To confirm, I called the local Party City and asked if the staff had observed families buying costumes together. To my delight, the manager said yes! She noticed that families buy them costumes every year. Whether it’s homemade or store-bought, it’s good to know family Halloween costumes aren’t dying. Although the days of coordinated family costumes for me have passed, the memories of those fun times will last forever. 7．What made the author’s childhood Halloween special? A．Candies. B．Events. C．Clothes. D．Atmosphere. 8．What does the author think of homemade Halloween costumes now? A．They are outdated. B．They are meaningful. C．They are costly. D．They are comfortable. 9．Why did the author visit some Halloween store websites? A．To learn how to make a Halloween costume. B．To compare the prices of Halloween costumes. C．To buy family Halloween costumes for himself. D．To check the popularity of family Halloween costumes. 10．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．DIY Halloween Costumes: A Creative Activity B．Family Halloween Costumes: A Timeless Tradition C．The Magic of Halloween: Costumes, Candy, and More D．Store-Bought or Homemade: A Hard Choice 【答案】7．C 8．B 9．D 10．B 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者回忆童年时家庭搭配协调的万圣节服装，并探究如今家庭万圣节服装是否依旧流行。 【解析】 7．细节理解题。根据第一段中“There’s just something about being a kid that made it so much better. And for me, that was coordinated (搭配协调的) family costumes.(小时候的万圣节总有着一种特别的魔力，让一切都变得更美好。而对我来说，那份魔力就来自于搭配协调的家庭服装。)”可知，搭配协调的家庭服装让作者童年的万圣节很特别。 8．推理判断题。根据第二段中“But looking back on it now, I loved our homemade costumes so much more because those costumes were memorable and made with love.(但现在回想起来，我更喜欢我们自制的服装，因为那些服装令人难忘，而且是用爱制作的。)”可知，作者现在认为自制的万圣节服装很有意义。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Recalling my experiences, I wondered if other families did the same. I decided to look around on some popular Halloween store websites to see if they had specific collections of family costumes.(回想起我的经历，我想知道其他家庭是否也这样做。我决定在一些受欢迎的万圣节商店网站上看看是否有专门的家庭服装系列。)”可知，作者访问一些万圣节商店网站是为了查看家庭万圣节服装的流行程度。 10．主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者回忆童年时家庭搭配协调的万圣节服装，并探究如今家庭万圣节服装是否依旧流行，最后表明虽然作者童年搭配协调的万圣节服装的日子已经过去，但那些美好时光的记忆将永远留存，由此可知，B项“家庭万圣节服装：永恒的传统”最适合作文章标题。 Passage 4 （25-26高一下·湖北·期中） For some families, birthday parties that often end up with bags of plastic can be a source of stress, or even shame. Many parents say the gifting aspect upsets them. But can a party really be a party without presents? According to Charlotte Mason-Curl, it’s possible! Like many parents, Mason-Curl experienced climate anxiety after her daughter’s birthday party and became determined to make a change. She wanted to get rid of the usual gift-giving tradition and replace it with something more sustainable. She launched the Kids’ Party Pact — a digital promise to take a low-waste approach to hosting and attending birthday parties. The pact has three parts: agreeing not to use plastic bags; giving secondhand or homemade gifts (or none); and issuing guidance on greener gifts for their own children. The response from parents has been positive. “I thought we were the only family who had these concerns,” wrote one mother. “So happy other parents feel the same!” The pact provides suggested wording for invitations to help parents communicate their stance (立场) without causing problems. For example: “Gifts are not required.” If you insist on being a rule breaker, a homemade card or a hand-picked flower would be welcome, but not necessary! “We’re so truly accustomed not to turning up empty-handed, even if we’re asked to,” Mason-Curl explains. “It’s better to give people some guidance, telling them what to bring, than to tell them not to bring anything, because often they still bring a little something. A little something times 20 equals an alarmingly large amount of waste.” Thanks to the Kids’ Party Pact, we are reminded that true celebration doesn’t depend on material gifts. By giving up expensive presents, we can focus on precious time with loved ones and protect our planet. It teaches both parents and children that love and friendship are the most valuable gifts, far more meaningful than any wrapped plastic or fancy goods. 11．What can be inferred from the first paragraph? A．The Kids’ Party Pact has been widely accepted by all parents. B．Plastic bags are the biggest source of waste at birthday parties. C．Many parents feel upset about the traditional gift-giving tradition. D．Homemade gifts are more popular than secondhand gifts among parents. 12．Why did Charlotte Mason-Curl launch the Kids’ Party Pact? A．She hoped to earn money from the digital promise. B．She wanted to make her daughter’s birthday more fun. C．She found that parents were not interested in birthday parties. D．She was worried about the environmental impact of gift-giving. 13．Which of the following is a “rule-breaker” gift according to the text? A．An expensive branded backpack. B．A plastic-wrapped set of pencils. C．A handwritten card and a self-picked flower. D．A new toy car bought from a department store. 14．What can be inferred from Mason-Curl’s words in the fifth paragraph? A．Small gifts do not cause much waste. B．People are used to bringing gifts to parties. C．People should never bring anything to parties. D．Only expensive gifts are the main cause of waste. 【答案】11．C 12．D 13．C 14．B 【导语】讲述了夏洛特·梅森-柯尔发起“儿童派对公约”，旨在改变传统生日派对送礼习惯，减少浪费，强调真正的庆祝不依赖物质礼物，爱与友谊才是最有价值的。 11．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Many parents say the gifting aspect upsets them.(许多家长表示送礼这一环节让他们感到困扰。)”可知，从第一段能够推断出，很多家长对传统互赠礼物的生日派对习俗感到烦恼不安。 12．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Like many parents, Mason-Curl experienced climate anxiety after her daughter’s birthday party and became determined to make a change. She wanted to get rid of the usual gift-giving tradition and replace it with something more sustainable.(和许多家长一样，梅森-柯尔在女儿生日派对后产生了气候环境方面的担忧，并决心做出改变，摒弃传统送礼习俗，改用更环保可持续的方式。)”可知，她发起这项约定，是因为担忧送礼带来的环境负面影响。 13．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“If you insist on being a rule breaker, a homemade card or a hand-picked flower would be welcome, but not necessary!(如果你执意要破例送礼，自制贺卡或亲手采摘的鲜花是可以被接受的，但并非硬性要求。)”可知，自制贺卡和亲手采摘的鲜花属于文中所说破例可接受的礼物。 14．推理判断题。根据第五段中的““We’re so truly accustomed not to turning up empty-handed, even if we’re asked to,” Mason-Curl explains. (梅森-柯尔解释道：“我们早已习惯绝不空手登门，即便对方嘴上说不必带礼物。”)”可知，梅森-柯尔的话表明，人们早已习惯参加生日派对携带礼物的传统做法。 Passage 5 （25-26高一上·河南开封·期末） Shanghai launched its flagship culinary initiative Global Taste, a year-round food festival series that aims to turn the city into an international dining destination, local officials announced on January 9th.

On New Year’s Eve, my husband and sons were curious about what I had been writing all year. We decided we would start with the first card and read them all aloud together.
