The Irish have celebrated St.Patrick’s Day on March 17 every year for over 1,000 years.On this day,Irish families would attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon.
Patrick,born in Roman Britain,was brought to Ireland at the age of 16.He was thought to bring Christianity to its people.During the centuries after Patrick’s death that is believed to be on March 17,461,the story of his life became popular in the Irish culture.
However,the first St.Patrick’s Day parade(游行) took place not in Ireland but in America.Records show that a St.Patrick’s Day parade was held on March 17,1601 in Florida.More than a century later,homesick Irish soldiers serving in the English army marched in New York City on March 17,1772 to honor the Irish saint(圣人).Interest in the St.Patrick’s Day parades in New York City,Boston and other early American cities grew from there.In 1848,several New York Irish societies decided to unite their parades to form one official New York City St.Patrick’s Day parade.
Today,the parade is the world’s oldest parade and the largest in the United States.Each year,nearly 3 million people watch the parade,which takes more than five hours.In 2020,the New York City parade was one of the first major city events that were canceled as a result of the pandemic(流行病) and people are still not allowed to attend it this year.
Although North America is home to the largest one,St.Patrick’s Day is also celebrated around the world,including Japan,Singapore and Russia.In 1995,the Irish government began to use interest in St.Patrick’s Day to drive tourism and show Ireland and Irish culture to the rest of the world.
4.What nationality was St.Patrick
A.Roman. B.Irish.
C.English. D.American.
5.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A.The meaning of St.Patrick’s Day.
B.The result of the pandemic.
C.The life of St.Patrick.
D.The history of St.Partick’s Day parade in the USA.
6.What does the underlined word “canceled” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Applied for. B.Left alone.
C.Stopped. D.Expected.
7.What is the purpose of this text
A.To show the Irish culture.
B.To remember a famous person.
C.To tell a story.
D.To introduce a festival.

You can’t help spending much money during the festival season.However,it’s not impossible to save.Here are some tips you can take to prevent yourself from overspending.
Surround yourself with people who make you feel good.There’s a common trick played by the advertising industry. 1 ,the advertising industry tries their best to appeal to your emotions in order to motivate you to buy their products.So,instead of falling into their marketing trap,surround yourself with the people you love and make yourself feel good.
Don’t buy anything hot-headedly.Ever heard of the saying,“A fool and his money are soon parted” 2 .
Consider renting. 3 .After all,how often will you be wearing that normal dress
4 .When it comes to clothes,you should often pick out the unused.Selling them on eBay or Carousell can give you extra cash to go shopping with.

Ⅳ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三个国家的情人节。
1.A 细节理解题。根据Wales:landoflovespoons部分第二段中的“keysrepresentthekeytoalover’sheart”可知,钥匙形的勺子表示深深的爱。
2.D 细节理解题。根据Argentina:aweekofsweets部分第一段中的“ArgentinacelebratesValentine’sDayinFebruary,butalsogivesawholeotherweektoloveinJuly.TheycallitSweetnessWeek.(阿根廷在二月份庆祝情人节,但是还在七月份,另外给了一个星期去表达爱。他们称之为甜蜜周)”可知,庆祝甜蜜周是在七月。
3.C 推理判断题。根据SouthKorea:threeisacharm部分第二段中的“Thename‘WhiteDay’comesfromthecustomofgivingwhite-coloredgifts.(‘白色情人节’这个名字来源于送白色礼物的习俗)”可以推知,在白色情人节,白色奶糖应该是好礼物。
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了圣帕特里克节的由来和传播。
4.B 推理判断题。根据第二段“Patrick,borninRomanBritain,wasbroughttoIrelandattheageof16.HewasthoughttobringChristianitytoitspeople.DuringthecenturiesafterPatrick’sdeaththatisbelievedtobeonMarch17,461,thestoryofhislifebecamepopularintheIrishculture.(帕特里克出生在罗马时代的不列颠,16岁时被带到爱尔兰。人们认为他把基督教传播给人民。帕特里克被认为是在461年3月17日去世的,在他死后的几个世纪里,关于他一生的故事在爱尔兰文化中变得流行起来)”和第一段中的“TheIrishhavecelebratedSt.Patrick’sDayonMarch17everyyearforover1,000years.(爱尔兰人在每年的3月17日庆祝圣帕特里克节已有1000多年的历史)”可知,圣帕特里克出身于不列颠,但16岁后就到了爱尔兰,他的故事也成为爱尔兰文化的一部分,由此推知,圣帕特里克是爱尔兰人。
5.D 主旨大意题。第三段提到,第一次圣帕特里克节游行不是在爱尔兰,而是在美国举行的。据记载,1601年3月17日,美国佛罗里达州曾举行过圣帕特里克节游行。一个多世纪后的1772年3月17日,思乡的爱尔兰士兵在英国军队中服役,在纽约游行,以纪念爱尔兰的圣人。人们对在纽约、波士顿和其他早期美国城市举行的圣帕特里克节游行的兴趣由此而来。1848年,纽约的几个爱尔兰社团决定联合他们的游行,组成一个正式的纽约市圣帕特里克日游行。由此可知,本段主要介绍了圣帕特里克节在美国的发展和传播历史。
6.C 词义猜测题。根据画线词后“asaresultofthepandemic”可推知,“werecanceled”是流行病导致的结果,结合常识可知,流行病期间,所有聚集性活动,包括大游行,都会被取消,被阻止,所以画线词与stop同义。
7.D 推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章介绍了圣帕特里克节(St.Patrick’sDay)的由来和传播,所以文章的写作目的是介绍一个节日。
Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍如何在节日期间采取措施来防止自己超支。
1.D 根据空后的逗号可知,所填内容中应该有连词,再根据下文“theadvertisingindustrytriestheirbesttoappealtoyouremotionsinordertomotivateyoutobuytheirproducts(广告行业会尽最大努力来吸引你的情感,从而激励你购买他们的产品)”可知,D项(当你被吸引去购买某些产品时)符合语境。
2.F 根据上文“Everheardofthesaying,‘Afoolandhismoneyaresoonparted’ (你听说过‘傻瓜花钱快’这句话吗 )”可知,此处警告你不要做一个在花钱时毫不犹豫的人。F项中的parting与上文中的parted是词汇复现。
3.G 根据上文“Considerrenting.”及下文“Afterall,howoftenwillyoubewearingthatnormaldress (毕竟,你多久会穿一次正规的衣服 )”可知,G项(在一个特殊的场合租一件衣服或一个包实际上可以为你节省更多的钱)承上启下。G项中的renting与上文中的renting是词汇复现。
4.A 根据下文“Whenitcomestoclothes,youshouldoftenpickouttheunused.SellingthemoneBayorCarousellcangiveyouextracashtogoshoppingwith.(说到衣服,你应该经常挑选那些不用的。在eBay或Carousell上出售它们可以给你额外的现金去购物)”可知,本段主要讲的是卖掉你不需要的东西。
5.E 根据上文“Everytimeyoulookatyourclosetandorganizeit,youfindjusthowmanyitemsofclothingyouhave.(当你每次看到你的壁橱并整理它时,你会发现你有多少件衣服)”可知,这些会让你更不想去购物。E项中的this就指代前句内容。

Ⅳ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了保加利亚一个传统节日——BabaMarta。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段可知,3月1日,保加利亚人庆祝一个传统节日,叫作BabaMarta,它与迎接即将到来的春天有关。世界各地的人们带着欢乐和新的希望迎接春天,但在保加利亚,这是一项古老的传统,因此Martenitsa是一个与迎春有关的传统节日。故选D项。
2.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“oldwomanwhochangeshermoodveryrapidlyanditreflectsinthechangeableMarchweather”以及“Whensheissmilingtheweatherissunnyandwarm,butifshegetsangrythecoldwillstayforlongeranditmayevensnow.”可知,BabaMarta的情绪变化很快,这反映在三月多变的天气中,即她是一个脾气不好的老妇人。故画线词意思为“脾气不好的”。open-minded思想开明的;ill-tempered脾气不好的;easy-going随和的;cold-blooded残酷的。故选B项。
3.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“WhensomeonegivesyouaMartenitsa,youshouldweariteitherpinnedonyourclothes,onthehandtiedaroundthewrist,oraroundyourneck”可知,Martenitsa的正确佩戴方式是把它系在手腕上。故选C项。
4.C 推理判断题。根据第一段可知,在节日当天,保加利亚人会交换Martenitsa,并告诉彼此“ChestitaBabaMarta!”文章主要介绍了这个节日的一些活动和传说。由此可推知,作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍保加利亚的传统。故选C项。
Ⅴ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者一家因为父亲没有了工作,所以圣诞节过得很冷清。但是在晚上的时候,他们的邻居们过来和他们一起过圣诞节,让他们很感动。
1.D 句意:他的老板没有足够多的工作给他了。driver司机;friend朋友;owner主人;boss老板。根据下文“didn’thaveenoughworktokeephim”可知,老板没有工作给作者的父亲了。
2.C 句意:虽然他每天都在找工作,还是没有找到合适的。beautiful美丽的;expensive昂贵的;suitable合适的;comfortable舒服的。根据上文“Althoughhelookedforworkeveryday”可知,上下文是转折关系,所以应该是虽然每天都找工作,但是就是没有找到合适的。
3.D 句意:我们很吃惊。glad高兴的;nervous紧张的;excited兴奋的;surprised吃惊的。根据下文“MyyoungersisterDonnaaskedherwhy”可知,大家不明白妈妈的做法,所以很吃惊。
4.A 句意:妈妈似乎因为我们问她问题而生气了,因此我决定不再问她了。question质问;meet遇见;help帮助;punish惩罚。根据上文“Mumseemedangrywithusforaskingheraboutit”可知,妈妈因为他们的问题而生气了,所以作者就不再问了。
5.D 句意:随着圣诞节的到来,唐娜和我因为有假期而兴奋,但是我的家却不像平时一样令人愉快。large大的;poor穷的;busy忙的;pleasant令人愉快的。根据下文“Thereweren’tsmilesorchocolateanymore.Nomorebreadwithrichjelly.”可知,家里没有欢笑和巧克力,没有更多的面包和果酱,这让大家不快乐。
6.B 句意:圣诞节前2天,爸爸去打猎了。business生意;hunting捕猎;hiking徒步;cycling骑行。根据下文“OnChristmasEve,Dadreturnedwith hehadhopedtohunt”可知,父亲去打猎了。
7.B 句意:天气很冷,我们在屋子里都穿着毛衣。quiet安静的;cold冷的;cloudy多云的;noisy嘈杂的。根据下文“weworesweaterseveninthehouse”可知,天气很冷。
8.A 句意:我认为这个圣诞节将会是令人失望的。disappointing令人失望的;noisy嘈杂的;necessary必要的;practical实际的。根据下文“Wehadnotree,nodecorations.”可知,圣诞节没有圣诞树,没有装饰品,应该是很令人失望的事情。
9.C 句意:在圣诞夜,爸爸回来了,没有像他希望的那样捕到东西。something某些事物;everything一切;nothing没有东西;anything任何事物。根据下文“Nomoneyforfood.Nofriendstoenjoy.”可知,当时的气氛不好,应该是爸爸什么都没有捕到。
10.D 句意:然而,那天晚上,最令人吃惊的事情发生了。instead相反;otherwise否则;therefore因此;however然而。根据下文“themostamazingthinghappened”可知,上下文是转折关系。
11.C 句意:外面下着雪,一个很重的敲我们前门的声音把我们吓了一跳。interest使感兴趣;amuse使高兴;shock使震惊;annoy使心烦。根据上文“Asitwassnowingoutside,ahardknockonourfrontdoor”可知,夜里突然有人很大力气地敲门让作者一家人震惊。
12.B 句意:爸爸还没来得及开门,我们就听到了音乐的声音。learn学习;hear听到;enjoy享受;play玩。根据下文“music”可知,他们是听到了音乐的声音。
13.A 句意:打开门,我们看到几位邻居在外面唱歌。neighbor邻居;relative亲戚;woman女性;worker工人。根据下文“ourneighborsstilllovedus”可知,是邻居们来了。
14.C 句意:他们让我很感动。frighten使害怕;encourage鼓励;move使感动;bother打扰。根据下文“TheyboughtChristmasfoodandevengaveussomemoney.”可知,邻居们的行为让作者很感动。
15.B 句意:我们以为每个人都忘记了我们了,但是我们的邻居们仍然爱我们。leave离开;forget忘记;cheat欺骗;accept接受。根据上文“Nofriendstoenjoy.”可知,作者他们本以为没有朋友会来他们家一起庆祝圣诞节,所以作者一开始认为他们被遗忘了。
Ⅵ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了元宵节的一些节日活动。
1.beautiful 考查词性转换。句意:观赏美丽花灯的最佳时间是农历正月十五的元宵节。此处应用形容词作定语修饰后面的名词lanterns。故填beautiful。
2.which 考查定语从句。句意:观赏美丽花灯的最佳时间是农历正月十五的元宵节。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词theLanternFestival,先行词在从句中作主语,指物,故应用关系代词which引导。
3.marking 考查非谓语动词。句意:今年元宵节是2月11日,标志着春节庆祝活动的结束。分析句子结构可知mark在句中应用非谓语动词形式,与逻辑主语it构成主动关系,故用现在分词作状语。
4.sizes 考查名词的数。句意:你可以看到各种大小和形状的灯笼,从动物到植物和花。size为可数名词,根据后文andshapes可知此处用复数。故填sizes。
5.to 考查介词。句意:你可以看到各种大小和形状的灯笼,从动物到植物和花。from...to...意为“从……到……”。
6.arecalled 考查动词的时态和语态。句意:在一些地方,人们喜欢放天灯,这些灯被称为孔明灯。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词skylanterns,先行词在从句中作主语,与call构成被动关系,且结合上文peoplelike可知时态为一般现在时,故此处应用一般现在时的被动语态,谓语用复数。故填arecalled。
7.the 考查冠词。句意:当明亮的灯光高高地飞向天空,人们祝福家人,许下愿望。inthesky意为“在空中”。故填the。
8.togo 考查非谓语动词。句意:那时,除了某些节日外,年轻女孩是不被允许经常外出的。beallowedtodosth.意为“被允许做某事”。故填togo。
9.her 考查代词。句意:众里寻她千百度。作介词for的宾语,应用宾格her。
10.Suddenly 考查副词。句意:蓦然回首,那人却在灯火阑珊处。此处用方式副词suddenly作状语。
