The Lantern Festival
Like most Chinese festivals，the Lantern Festival has its own special food, called “tang yuan”. These are round, glutinous rice dumplings with sweet or spicy fillings. The dumplings are said to symbolize both the first full moon and family reunion and completeness. Part of the Lantern Festival tradition involves a game to guess riddles attached to the lanterns.
单元话题导读
In the old days the riddles were obscure literary allusions to the Chinese classics and so were mainly the preserve of the educated classes. Stilt-walking, drumming and dragon and lion dancing are the main entertainment forms of the Lantern Festival.

an
to avoid
taking
attitudes
that/which
解析：
1．考查介词。a variety of...“各种各样的”，为固定用法。故填of。
2．考查疑问词。根据语境可知，此处为“no matter＋疑问词”引导的让步状语从句，因空后为形容词。故填how。
3．考查动词的时态和语态。此处陈述的是客观事实，故应用一般现在时；主语是The harvest festival，为单数，且与celebrate之间为动宾关系，故应用被动语态。故填is celebrated。
4．考查代词。由语境可知，空处指代上文的The harvest festival，为单数，为避免上下文重复。故填it。
5．考查形容词。句中countries为名词，应用形容词修饰，故应用Europe的形容词形式European。故填European。
6．考查冠词。短语take...as an example意为“以……为例”。故填an。
7．考查非谓语动词。此处表示为避免空气污染，中国很多大城市不再允许燃放鞭炮。空处在句中作目的状语，应用不定式。故填to avoid。
8．考查非谓语动词。此处是“with＋宾语＋宾补”结构，由于作宾语的businesses与take之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，应用现在分词形式。故填taking。
9．考查名词复数。句意：节日反映了人们的愿望、信仰、宗教和对生活的态度。attitude作“态度，看法”讲时，为可数名词，在此处与wishes，beliefs和faiths并列，应用attitude的复数形式。故填attitudes。
10．考查定语从句。这是一个含有定语从句的复合句。定语从句修饰的先行词为occasions，空处在定语从句中作主语，故填关系代词that或which。
Ⅵ.结合课文主题，使用本单元词汇与句型写一篇50词左右的短文
1．春节前妈妈总为我买新衣服。在新年那一天我就可以穿上盛装(dress up)了。我非常感激(grateful)我的妈妈。
2．另外，我们总会买各种各样的(a wide range of)水果和蔬菜。
3．每年除夕一家人聚在一起(gather)看春节联欢晚会，期待看到一些著名的人物(figure)。
4．尽管(in spite of)社会在变化，但是我们会利用(take advantage of)这个有重大意义的(significant)节日。

语法点拨
动词-ing由“动词原形＋-ing”构成。动词-ing形式可在句中作主语、宾语、表语、定语、宾语补足语和状语，但不能单独作谓语。
Ⅰ.动词-ing形式作定语
1．位置：单个动词-ing形式作定语，常放在被修饰词前作前置定语；动词-ing形式短语作定语，常放在被修饰词后作后置定语。
动词-ing形式作定语和表语
2．形式：动词-ing形式作定语(以do为例)有doing、形容词化的doing和being done三种形式。具体用法如下：
(1)doing作定语
①doing作定语，do与被修饰词之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，表示正在进行的或与谓语动词所表示的动作同时发生的主动动作。
boiling water开水
a barking dog狂吠的狗
a developing country一个发展中国家
Don't wake up the sleeping child.
不要吵醒那个正在睡觉的孩子。
Phoebe received an e-mail the other day saying her uncle was coming to visit her.
菲比前几天收到一封电子邮件，说她叔叔要来看她。
②doing作定语，还可表示被修饰词的用途或属性，常在句中作前置定语。
a fishing net(＝a net for fishing)渔网
a walking stick(＝a stick for walking)拐棍
a reading room(＝a room for reading)阅览室
a living room(＝a room for living)起居室，客厅
a writing desk(＝a desk for writing)书桌
She trained five times a week at her local swimming pool.
她每周在当地的游泳池训练五次。
No one is allowed to speak aloud in the reading room.
阅览室里任何人不得大声说话。
(2)形容词化的doing形式作定语，相当于形容词，表示中心词的性质，意为“令人……的”；形容词化的done形式作定语，常表示“感到……的”。试比较：
an exciting story令人兴奋的故事
an excited voice兴奋的声音
a puzzling question令人困惑的问题
a puzzled expression困惑的表情
(3)being done作定语
do与被修饰词之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，表示正在进行的被动动作。
The house being built here belongs to John.
这里正在建的那所房子是约翰的。
The meeting being held now is so important that no one is absent.
现在正在召开的会议很重要，所以没有人缺席。
3．扩展成句：动词-ing形式短语作后置定语时可以扩展成定语从句。
The man talking with our headmaster is Tom's father.
(＝The man who is talking with our headmaster is Tom's father.)
正和我们校长谈话的那个人是汤姆的父亲。
1．表示感情的动词-ing形式(形容词化的doing形式)作定语时，表示“令人……的”，此类动词-ed形式作定语时，表示“感到……的”。
2．动词-ing形式作定语如果与被修饰的词之间是被动关系，且强调动作正在进行就用动词-ing形式的被动式，即being done的形式。
单句语法填空
①(2019·全国Ⅱ卷改编)When we got a call ________ (say) she was short-listed, we thought it was a joke.
解析：句意：当我们接到电话说她被列入候选名单时，我们以为这是个玩笑。分析句子结构可知，“____(say) she was short-listed”作call的定语，call和say之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，应用动词-ing形式。故填saying。
saying
②The park was full of people, __________(enjoy) themselves in the sunshine.
解析：句意：公园里有很多人，他们在阳光下玩得很开心。分析句子结构可知，“____(enjoy) themselves in the sunshine”作people的定语，people和enjoy之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，应用动词-ing形式，表示正在进行的动作。故填enjoying。
enjoying
③A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those _________(want) a good night's sleep.
解析：句意：对于那些想睡一夜好觉的人来说，睡前喝一杯热牛奶一直是最佳选择。分析句子结构可知，“____(want) a good night's sleep”作those的定语，those和want之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，应用动词-ing形式。故填wanting。
wanting

我最喜欢的运动是游泳，而我姐姐最喜欢的运动是打网球。
My full-time job is teaching English, which means I make a living by teaching.

Ⅴ.课文语法填空
根据课文内容，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
This is the first time I have spent the Naadam Festival with my friend Burin in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region this year.The festival ______________(represent) by horse racing, wrestling and archery falls on the 4th day of the six month of the lunar calendar, ________ lasts for three days.
1.represented
2.which
Of the three _________(event), two have left a deep impression _____ me: wrestling and horse racing.Mongolian wrestling is different from _______ in the Olympic Games.There are no rounds and wrestlers are not separated by weight.The wrestler loses if any part of his body above his knee touches the ground.As for horse racing, it was __________(amaze) to see that the riders were boys and girls.That is because children are __________(light) and the horses can run faster and farther.There is no need to worry about their safety, for they ___________________(ride) horses all their lives.It is no wonder that people say “Horses are at ______ heart of Mongolian culture”．
3.events
4.on
5.that
6.amazing
7.lighter
8.have been riding
9.the
Though I am tired now, celebrating Naadam with my friend was ___________ (total) worth it.
解析：
1．考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作后置定语，修饰The festival，且represent与The festival之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故填过去分词represented。
2．考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词The festival，且在从句中作主语。故填which。
10.totally
3．考查名词复数。根据前面的数词three可知，此处表示复数意义，event在此表示“(体育运动)的比赛项目”，为可数名词，故填复数形式events。
4．考查介词。leave a(n)．..impression on sb.“给某人留下……的印象”，为固定搭配。故填on。
5．考查代词。句意：蒙古族摔跤不同于奥运会的摔跤。句中用that替代wrestling，以避免重复。故填that。
6．考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，此处为“it＋be＋adj.＋不定式”结构，it为形式主语，真正的主语为to see that the riders were boys and girls，故空处应填动词amaze的形容词形式amazing，表示“令人吃惊的”。
7．考查形容词的比较级。根据后面的部分“the horses can run faster and farther”可知，马之所以跑得更快更远是因为孩子们体重比较轻，此应用比较级形式。故填lighter。
8．考查动词的时态。根据时间状语all their lives可知，此处指他们一生都骑马，表示动作发生在过去，但一直持续到现在，强调动作的延续性，此应用现在完成进行时。故填have been riding。
9．考查冠词。at the heart of...意为“……的核心”，为固定搭配。故填the。
10．考查副词。句中worth为形容词，应用副词修饰。故填totally。

1．On Chinese New Year's Day, Miang's aunt may cook all of the following EXCEPT_C_.
A．duck B．dumplings
C．Lajmayin D．pork
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“My aunt prepares some traditional Chinese dishes, such as duck, chicken, fish, pork...‘dumplings’．”可知， Miang的阿姨会做鸭、鸡、鱼、猪肉……水饺，而根据文章最后一句“We usually eat Arabian food (kibbe, Lajmayin and so on)．”可知，Lajmayin是阿拉伯食物。故选C。
2．We can infer that Father Frost and Snegoorochka most probably are _C_.
A．present-sellers
B．Zhenia's relatives
C．characters in tales
D．father and daughter
解析：推理判断题。第三段讲述的是过新年的情境，根据“He comes at night and puts his presents under the New Year Tree.”可推断Father Frost和Snegoorochka并不是现实中真正给别人送礼物的人，而只是故事里的人物。故选C。
3．Besides Pat, who else most probably celebrates Songkran？_D_
A．Janine. B．Malena.
C．Zhenia. D．Miang.
解析：推理判断题。根据Pat的叙述可知Songkran是泰国的传统节日，而根据Miang的叙述可推断： Miang也来自泰国，故他最有可能也过这个节日。故选D。
4．According to the passage, what is the main reason why Janine loves Christmas？_B_
A．Because there is a lot of fun.
B．Because she doesn't go to school.
C．Because she can get a lot of presents.

文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。阐述了各种节日的起源。
解析：
1．考查名词。句意：很明显，各种各样的节日都是快乐、欢乐和兴奋的时刻，而不是悲伤的时刻。空格前of为介词，后接名词happiness作宾语，表抽象意义，不可数。故填happiness。
2．考查形容词。句意：它们有很多起源，有些是宗教的，有些是季节的。分析句子可知，这是一个主系表结构，空处填形容词religious作表语。故填religious。
3．考查被动语态和主谓一致。句意：人们心存感激，因为他们的食物已经被收集起来过冬，农业劳动也结束了。分析可知，主语their food 和gather之间是被动关系，故该句应用被动语态。且food 是不可数名词，谓语动词应用单数。故填is gathered。
4．考查非谓语动词。句意：有些节日是为了纪念、满足和愉悦死者。分析句意及句子结构可知，此处用动词不定式作目的状语，held后填 to honor。故填to honor。
5．考查连词。句意：他们开着灯，放着音乐，因为他们认为这有助于死者重返地球。分析句意及句子结构可知，该空后的分句是该空前主句的原因，因此，这是一个原因状语从句，应该用连词because连接。故填because。
6．考查名词。句意：端午节是为了纪念著名的古代诗人屈原。根据该空后“Qu Yuan”可知，此处指纪念诗人。故填poet。
7．考查固定搭配。句意：哥伦布日是作为哥伦布到达新大陆的纪念。短语 in memory of 意为“纪念，作为对某人的纪念”，此处缺少介词of。故填of。
8．考查形容词最高级。句意：最有活力和最重要的是那些期待着冬天的结束和春天的到来的节日，比如农历新年，人们聚在一起吃喝玩乐。根据句意及该空后“most energetic”可知，此处应该energetic最高级the most energetic，该空缺少冠词the。故填the。
9．考查非谓语动词。句意：同上题。该空前的 to 是介词，因此该空应该填动名词coming作宾语。故填 coming。
10．考查副词。句意：不管是什么原因，节日总是盛宴的时候，有很多吃的，特别的，经常是要穿新衣服，一般有很多乐趣。分析句意及句子结构可知，此处用副词generally意为“一般地”作状语。故填generally。Unit 1 Section Ⅲ

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Seventy years ago，a group of well-known people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music，dance and theater in Edinburgh.The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness，Richard Burton，Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras (交响乐团)．It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.
At the same time，the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival.Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947，in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform，and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon，groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University，and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge，Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theater by littleknown writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
Today the “Fringe”，once less recognized，has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theater，music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts.And yet as early as 1959，with only 19 theater groups performing，some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971，and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself.In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries.More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.

It was a small but pretty lovely garden, inside _3.which_ were varieties of beautiful flowers.“I'll have all these wild flowers _4.removed_ (remove) so that we'll only have roses in this garden，” said my mother.
“But I like these wild flowers，” I protested.“They are not less beautiful in my eyes _5.than_ roses！”
My mother looked at me _6.seriously_(serious) and said, “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way.And that is true of people, too.”
When I realized that she 7.had figured (figure) out my pain, I told her the truth.“You'll be a wonderful supporting role, baby，” my mother said, _8.patting_(pat) me gently on the shoulder.
Thanks to my mother's _9.encouragement_(encourage), I got to know everybody had his or her own value in the world.I felt proud _10.of_the supporting role in the play.
文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。作者失去了在学校戏剧里面扮演公主的机会，只能在剧中饰演配角。她妈妈带她来到花园，通过花园里的野花让她认识到世界上的每一个事物都有其存在的价值。
解析：
1．考查连词。前后两句之间意义上存在转折关系，要用but连接。故填but。
2．考查名词性从句。what had happened是宾语从句，其中what在从句中作主语。故填what。
3．考查定语从句。inside which were varieties of beautiful flowers是“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句，修饰先行词garden。故填which。
4．考查非谓语动词。have all these wild flowers removed是have sth.done结构，表示“请人或让人做某事”。故填removed。

6．考查副词。空格中所填单词在句中修饰谓语动词looked at，应用serious的副词形式。故填seriously。
7．考查动词的时态。从句谓语动词动作figure out发生在主句谓语动词动作realize之前，即表示“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。故填had figured。
8．考查非谓语动词。patting me gently on the shoulder是现在分词短语作状语，表示伴随情况，逻辑主语my mother与分词动作pat之间是逻辑上的主动关系。故填patting。
9．考查名词。空格中所填单词在句中作Thanks to的宾语，应用encourage的名词形式。故填encouragement。
10．考查介词。根据be/feel proud of这一固定表达可知，此处应填介词of。
Ⅲ.读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college.For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom，and knowing his father could well afford it，he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached，the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car.Finally，on the morning of his graduation，his father called him into his private study.His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son，and told him how much he loved him.He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box.Curious，but somewhat disappointed，the young man opened the box and found a lovely，leather-bound Bible，with the young man's name embossed in gold.
Angrily，he raised his voice to his father and said，“With all your money you give me a Bible？” He then stormed out of the house，leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business.He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family，but realising his father was very old，he thought perhaps he should go to see him.He had not seen him since that graduation day.Before he could make the arrangements，he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away，and willed all of his possessions to his son.He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house，sudden sadness and regret filled his heart.He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible，just as he had left it years ago.
Paragraph 1：
With tears，he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages.____________________________________ ___________________________________

Paragraph 1：
With tears，he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages.As he was reading，a car key dropped from the back of the Bible.It had a tag with the dealer's name，the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired.On the tag was the date of his graduation，and the words “PAID IN FULL”．How great the love a father gave to his son！But it was too late for him to feel that packaged love from his father.
Paragraph 2：
How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected？ Do not regret until you realise what you did is wrong.Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you don't have，but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.Sometimes we don't realise the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect “the packaging” to be different.What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.Unit 1 Section Ⅰ

Christmas in the United States is traditionally a time of gift-giving and family gatherings.But small towns across the country have their own traditions.
Middleburg, a small town in the state of Virginia, is known for its horses.For more than 50 years, Middleburg has organized a yearly Christmas parade.Men and women ride horses through the woods and fields.They follow hunting dogs as they search for a wild fox.But first, these hunters ride in the yearly parade, wearing their bright red hunting clothes and hats.
John Hale, a citizen of Middleburg says many city people visit his town.“We have a lot of people from an urban area that come to visit, but it incorporates a lot of the old traditions.” The night-time hayride is one such tradition.Small groups gather under the moonlight on an open wagon (四轮马车) filled with hay (干草)．The passengers sing as farm horses pull the wagon slowly across the fields.
There are some newer traditions, too.Trey Matheu works at the nearby Salamander Resort.He says a visit to Middleburg is a chance to slow down for a day.He says Middleburg can be a calming, peaceful place without tension.
“Middleburg is an opportunity to take a step back, to take a deep breath, and understand that even though life is moving on at a very fast pace, there's really an opportunity where you're allowed to step off for a little bit.”
Parade organizers say more than 13, 000 people attend even in below freezing weather.But if you ask, you will hear many different reasons why people come to watch the parade：
“I come here because I'm from a small town.I like how everybody comes together.”
“I live right down that street, right there.And that's my dog.”
Middleburg looks its best at Christmastime.That may be why so many people return each year.
