Christmas Traditions
The Origin of Christmas
Since about 400 AD，Christmas Day has been celebrated on 25th December.This date was the old mid-winter festival in pre-Christian times，around the time of the longest night and the shortest day.Christmas in the 21st century has many traditions：Christmas trees，cards and presents.
Presents and shopping
Shops can make about 60 per cent of their year's income in the three months before Christmas.So most shops get ready for it in October.The shopping centres are beautifully decorated and stay open late at night.The first time this happened was in 1867 when Macy's，a famous shop in New York，stayed open until midnight on Christmas Eve(24th December)．
Trees
By mid-December，almost every house，shop and street has a Christmas tree.This tradition was started by the Germans as early as 700 AD.In the northern countries of the world，winter is cold and dark and most trees lose their leaves.The beautiful green trees decorated with lights and coloured glass balls give people hope that spring will come again.
Cards
The tradition of sending cards to friends was started in 1840 in the UK and now millions of Christmas cards and emails are sent all round the world.Cards are a good way of keeping in touch with family and friends who live far away.
Father Christmas
Father Christmas is known across the world with his white hair，red coat and big bag of toys.Young children are told that he lives in the north of Finland and makes toys for them.By tradition，he brings the toys to children at midnight，on the night before Christmas.
Food
On Christmas day a traditional meal is eaten，usually turkey(like a big chicken)and a rich，spicy cake.Some people hate Christmas.Others feel it is a magical and exciting time.They love seeing family and friends；they also love the traditions.Love it or hate it，Christmas is a time to look back over the old year—and forward to the new one.

VENICE，a small，waterside city in northeast Italy，boils with happiness and excitement once every year.Between February 21 and March 4，carnival(狂欢节) hits the streets.
For most people，carnival means large parties and feasting(盛宴)．But in Venice，it also means traditional masks and clothes.
These costumes were first meant to hide personal identities.Then，different social classes could mix in a sea of happiness.
Along the waterways，people greeted each other with：“Good morning Ms Mask！”
Today，people in Venice still dress up in the strangest ways as armed soldiers，butchers and fishermen，for example.
Bars and cafés are filled with party-goers who come to show off their beautiful clothes.Their designs and creations are made by special studios.Ready-made costumes are not acceptable.
“In the months before the carnival we work overtime to meet the demand，”said a mask-maker.“Many kilometres of silk and lace(花边) are made into costumes.For shopkeepers，carnival is the best time of year.”
The Venice carnival dates back to the Middle Ages.At that time，the city was one of the wealthiest in Europe.
The tradition of celebrating with masks and costumes is thought to have been started by the“Stocking Companies”．These were groups of young men who organized parties and festivals and wore colorful stockings to distinguish(区分) themselves.
By the 18th century，the carnival had reached its top.It all came to an end when Napoleon controlled Venice in 1797.But in 1979 ，local people brought the old traditions back to life.
Now the Venice carnival attracts huge crowds from all over the world.This year，about 700,000 people are taking part.Hotels were fully booked months in advance，and bars and restaurants overflow every day.
The city certainly benefits—a whole industry has been built up around the carnival's masks and clothes.
“The Venice carnival is a magical time! It's such a great experience，”said one French tourist.
47．What might you infer from the article?
A．People in Venice like parties.
B．Venice was a happy city.
C．There used to be strong feelings of social class in Venice.
D．Venice was a city of silk and lace.
48．When was the carnival the biggest?
A．In the middle ages.
B．In the 18th century.
C．In 1797.
D．In 1979.
49．Why do the shopkeepers like the carnival time?
A．Because they can make many different kinds of masks.
B．Because the city is “a sea of happiness”．
C．Because many people from all over the world come to Venice.
D．Because they can make a lot of money during this time.
50．What is the main idea of the article?
A．How the carnival is celebrated in Venice.
B．The story of how the carnival began in Venice.
C．The history of the carnival in Venice.
D．What to see and do during the carnival time in Venice.
Ⅳ.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
(2013·河南洛阳一中高一期中)Does this situation seem familiar to you？Your English is progressing well，the grammar is now familiar，the reading comprehension is no problem，and you are speaking quite fluently. 51
First of all，remember that you are not alone.Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. 52 what you need to do is to find listening resources.The Internet is really a useful tool for English students.You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com.The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis，you might still be frustrated(受阻)by limited understanding 53
Here is some of the advice I give my students：
·Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
·Stay relaxed when you do not understand，and try listening to the material for more times.
·Do not translate everything into your native language.
· 54 Don't concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas.
·Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany.In the beginning，when I didn't understand a word，I insisted on translating it in my mind. 55 Then，after the first six months，I discovered two extremely important facts；Firstly，translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker.Secondly，most people repeat themselves constantly.By remaining calm，I noticed that even if I didn't pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
A．What should you do?
B．But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!
C．However，after several weeks，I got used to the grammar rules
D．The most important thing is to listen as often as possible.
E．This method usually resulted in confusion.
F．Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
G．But you can't follow a native English speaker at all!

综合检测(一)
1．D 句意：你父亲上学的那个学校是你真正想去的学校吗？your father attended是定语从句修饰the school，设空处应为先行词，其后面的句子是其定语从句。先行词代表the school，所以用the one。
2．B with的宾语后面可加形容词、副词、分词、不定式、名词等作宾补，这儿pet dog与follow构成主谓关系，所以用following。
3．B set out 出发，着手；set off 动身，出发，引发；set up 建立；set aside置于一边。句意：一封来自母亲的信引发了一场思家惊慌。
4．A in memory/honour of 纪念，不能使用定冠词；in charge of 掌管。
5．C 考查非谓语动词。现在分词结构feeling energetic作伴随状语。句意：你每天早晨起来都感到精力充沛并准备开始新的一天吗？
6．A 句意：我上幼儿园时老师经常提醒我对成年人要有礼貌，remind sb.to do sth.意为提醒……做……，此处为被动结构。
7．A 句意：尽管我老觉得我会通过考试，然而，我从来不曾想过会得“A等”。根据上下文可以看出，题干需要一个引导让步状语从句的连词。while在这里等于though。
8．C dress up表示“打扮”，可以不跟宾语。
9．B happen 常指偶然发生；take place指按计划、安排发生；take part in 参加；turn out 结果是、证明为。句意：——仪式什么时候举行，我校所有可爱的男孩，女孩都在盼望着。——抱歉，我不知道，但据我看来，八点。
10．A award“授予”；recognize“认出，识别出”；regard“看作”；reward“报答，奖赏”。此处表示“由于在医药方面的贡献她被授予诺贝尔奖”。
11．C 句意：你该问问为什么我对这个想法感到失望。be meant to do意为“应该做”，符合句意，故选C项。mean to do“意欲/打算做”；mean doing“意味着做”；be meant doing无此用法。
12．D take care of 照顾；pay attention to 注意；break away from 摆脱；play tricks on欺骗。句意：在太阳下走了几个小时后，他的意识开始混乱。
13．A shall用于第三人称，表示命令、允诺等语气。句意：根据最新制定的交通规则，无论谁闯红灯，都必须被罚款至少200美元。
14．D 考查主语从句。句意：这名男子没有早点报告这次事故的原因根本没有搞清楚。It在句中是形式主语，真正的主语是why引导的主语从句。
15．D 句意：我一直在盼望的信件还没有到来。根据句意，时态应使用现在完成进行时；引导词是that或which，作定语从句的宾语，因此to不能省略。
【语篇解读】 母亲节快到了，老师要求孩子们为妈妈制作贺卡，Elizabeth没有妈妈，她打算把贺卡送给爸爸，老师看到贺卡内容感动得流下眼泪。Elizabeth以为没按老师要求(没有妈妈的给奶奶或姨妈做贺卡)的去做老师生气了，放学后向老师解释并答应重做。老师说那是班上最好的贺卡，Elizabeth高兴地回到家把贺卡献给爸爸，爸爸感动得热泪盈眶。
16．D 做贺卡把纸进行折叠，而不是撕，排除B，前面已经剪好(cut)，排除A，spread和下文的in half搭配不对。
17．B 想到自己所做的不符合老师的要求：没妈妈的给奶奶或姨妈做，感到脸上发烧。
18．A 老师走近时想用胳膊盖住自己的贺卡。
19．C 老师轻轻地把Elizabeth的胳膊抬起以便能看到贺卡的内容。
20．B 自己的疏忽被老师发现了，坐着不动，等着老师指出。
21．A 卡片的内容温馨感人，老师流下眼泪，下文有照应。
22．B Elizabeth以为老师生气了，等其他同学走后给老师道歉。
23．A
24．D if引出条件状语从句，如果老师要求，可以重做。unless＝if not，逻辑关系不当。
25．C 从后半句bring it tomorrow可知应是在家里做。
26．D 老师不明白Elizabeth在做什么，从答语也可看出应选what。
27．D 此处right是副词，意为正确地、恰当地，Elizabeth以为老师不高兴是因为自己做得不正确、不符合要求。
28．B
29．C sweet此处意为looking pretty and attractive.
30．A 听到老师的赞许小孩子当然十分高兴，于是决定提前把贺卡送给爸爸。
31．B
32．C 上面是爸爸的画像(drawing)。
33．C 作为单身家长，既当爸又当妈。
34．A wish表祝愿，后跟宾语＋宾补；hope不能跟宾语＋宾补结构，需改为宾语从句；congratulate用于对对方成功的消息等表示祝贺，多和on连用。
35．D 从just like Mrs Berry did知应填crying。
36．C 细节理解题。第一段中提到返校节是除毕业典礼之外的最重要的事情。
37．D 细节考查题。A、B和C项均在原文中的四、五段出现，只有D项没有提到。
38．B 词义猜测题。根据文章第五段最后一句话“It is a great honor to be chosen.”可知，vote 应与choose意义相近，意为“选举”。
39．A 推理判断题。从“All the students vote a most popular student”可知道这是学生之间的评选活动，而没有涉及“客人”或者是“队员”和“选手”。
40．C 本题考查细节理解，由第一段知圣诞节始于大约公元400年，容易得知答案为C，AD意为公元后，BC意为公元前。
41．C 文中说这一风俗始于德国人，但A不合情理；B凭常识易排除；根据第三段最后一句可知应选C。
42．A 结合第五段及常识可知答案为A。
43．B 本题须根据文章内容做出判断，而不是自己的主观臆断。根据最后一段推知应选B。D文中未提供充分证据。
44．C 本题考查细节理解，根据第一段最后两句有关中国传统食品的介绍，用排除法不难选出C。
45．C 本题考查推理判断，由第三段内容知Father Frost和Snegoorochka在新年的前一晚上来到并把礼物放到新年树下，应推知他们和圣诞老人一样是传说中的人物。
46．B 本题考查全文主旨。文中几位人物各自介绍了自己喜欢的节日，关键词应是多次出现的favorite holiday。
47．C 推理判断题。第三段“These costumes were first meant to hide personal identities.Then，different social classes could mix in a sea of happiness.”可知C项正确。
48．B 细节理解题。倒数第四段第一句话“By the 18th century，the carnival had reached its top.”与B项相符。
49．D 推理判断题。第七段中最后一句“For shopkeepers，carnival is the best time of year.”这是一个常识问题，经商人挣钱多的时候是最好的时候。所以答案为D项。
50．A 主旨大意题。通过阅读全文可知本文介绍威尼斯是如何庆祝狂欢节的。B、C、D三项的内容只是文章的部分内容。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Carnival today is an international，multicultural experience.But how did it become so？To understand what carnival is all about，we need to look at the history of America and the meeting of two cultures—European and African.
The arrival of Europeans in America，and the opening of huge farms and plantations to grow cotton，fruit and vegetables，meant there was an immediate need for people to work on them.This marked the beginning of the slave trade.For more than two hundred years，until the beginning of the 19th century，when the trade was finally stopped，millions of people were taken by force from their homes in Africa and transported to the New World to work as slaves.Six million were taken to the Caribbean islands where there were British and French landowners.
Naturally，the Europeans also imported their own festivals.So the slaves were forced to watch as their masters celebrated carnival with food，drink，and masked dances.In Trinidad，the slaves began to hold their own carnival celebrations：they painted their faces white，imitating their masters and making fun of them.But at the same time they were continuing their own African traditions—such as walking round a village wearing masks and singing—a custom which they thought would bring good luck.
When the slave trade was abolished in 1838 the former slaves took over the carnival.It became more colourful and more exciting than it had been before.Magnificent costumes were made and musical bands created.Carnival became a celebration of freedom.
With the passing of time，the white inhabitants of the island began to take part in the carnival，too—and they were welcomed by their former slaves.Carnival became a way to unite different communities，as people forgot their everyday problems and enjoyed themselves eating，drinking，and dancing.Today，visitors from all over the world come to this small state in the Caribbean to join in the fun.Carnival has become a celebration of life itself.
1．Which is the topic of the passage?
A．The meaning of carnival
B．A celebration of freedom
C．The meeting of cultures
D．A celebration of life
2．Carnival has something to do with the following except________.
A．the history of America B．African cultures
C．Asian cultures D．European cultures
3．It can be inferred that carnival was taken from________.
A．Australia B．America
C．Africa D．Europe
4．Carnival became a celebration of freedom mainly because________.
A．the slaves wanted to make fun of their masters
B．slaves wanted to keep their African traditions
C．slaves trade was stopped
D．magnificent costumes and musical bands were made

People in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mother's Day，on the second Sunday in May，and Father's Day，on the third Sunday in June.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents.They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens.They give love and care.These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers.More mothers now work outside the home.More fathers must help with child care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways.On Mother's Day people wear carnations.A red one symbolizes a living mother.A white one shows that the mother is dead.Many people attend religious services to honor parents.It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery (公墓)．On these days families get together at home，as well as in restaurants.They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day.These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts.Children make them in school.Many people make their own presents.These are valued more than the ones bought in stores.It is not the value of the gift that is important，but it is “the thought that counts”．Greeting card stores，florists，candy makers，bakeries，telephone companies，other stores do lots of business during these holidays.

It's hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool's Day.On April 1 each year，people play tricks on each other.These tricks are usually silly rather than mean.Classmates sometimes tie each other's shoelaces to their chairs.Teachers might hand out an impossibly difficult surprise test that scares students before they realize it's only a joke.Newspapers announce fake contests(such as“Win an elephant！”)and report on fake stories(like“UFO” lands in New York City)．
Forget gifts，songs and special foods—those are for the other holidays of the year.On April Fool's Day，the only tradition is to laugh (and maybe to cause a little bit of trouble)．
One April Fool's Day，when I was in high school，a group of students in my class played a very clever and funny trick on the teachers.They bought some chickens and set them free in our school cafeteria.The chickens ran all round the school，in and out of classrooms and under our feet.Feathers were flying everywhere.
Teachers began running after the chickens，trying to catch them.Finally，they caught four of them.But the chickens were wearing numbered tags(商标)around their necks，and the teachers discovered that they had only caught chickens No.1,2,3，and 5.Where was chicken No.4?
The teachers looked and looked.They couldn't find another chicken.After a few hours，they realized that the students had played another joke on them：There were only four chickens in the first place！They've been tricked by the numbers on the chickens.
It's been a long time since I was in high school，but that April Fool's Day remains one of my favorite memories from those years.
5．What can we infer from the first paragraph on April Fool's Day?

8．What's the title of the passage?

Ⅱ.1.B 考查同义辨析。demand请求，要求；remind 提醒；allow 允许；hope 希望。句意：小时候，奶奶常提醒我们注意吃饭礼节。
2．C 考查短语辨析。set up建立，创立；set down写下，放下；set out着手，动身；set off出发，动身。句意：一旦他开始做什么事情，他永远不会改变主意。

4．B turn out 结果是，证明是；turn up 出现，到场；turn in上交；turn over翻转。句意：我一直等他很长时间了，但他至今并未出现。
5．B 考查短语be out of breath气喘吁吁的；hold one's breath屏住呼吸；take a deep breath深吸一口气。句意：屏住呼吸一分钟后，他几乎喘不过气来，他必须深吸一口气来使自己放松。
6．B 句意：他不是一个守信的人。不要相信他。one's word意为“诺言”。keep his word遵守诺言。word作“诺言”讲时，one's不管第几人称，word一般用单数。
7．A apologize to sb.for sth.因某事向某人道歉。句意：Mike 因他说的话向Jane 道歉。

Ⅲ.1.D A、B、C三项均是对父母敬重的原因，只有D项是不正确的，从第一段中“They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens.They give love and care.”得出答案。
2．B 从第一段第一句“Mother's Day，on the second Sunday in May，and Father's Day，on the third Sunday in June.”可知这两个节日不在同一个月；从第一段最后一句“More mothers now work outside the home.More fathers must help with child care.”可知现在有更多的母亲在外工作，可以推出“以前有较少的妇女在外工作”，所以B项为正确答案；C和D项中的说法文中并没有提到。
3．C 词义猜测题。从文章第二段可知carnation 是康乃馨。
4．A 细节理解题。认真阅读文章的第二段，尤其是“On these days families get together at home，as well as in restaurants.”这句话，可知答案是A项。B项陈述不正确是因为“It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(公墓)．”，并不是所有人都去扫墓。C项文中未提到。由第三段的二至四句可知D项不准确，应该为hand?made gifts。
【语篇解读】 文章讲述了作者在高中时一次难忘的愚人节经历。
5．A 推理判断题。从第一段的第一句话It's hard to avoid looking like a fool on April Fool's Day.可推出答案。
