The United States celebrates Valentine’s Day each year on February 14.Many other countries celebrate Valentine’s Day,too,each in their own way.Here is a look at the Valentine’s Day traditions in three countries.
Wales:land of love spoons
In Wales,it is called St.Dwynwen’s Day,which takes place on January 25.The traditional romantic gift on this day is a love spoon.
Beginning in the 17th century,Welsh men made beautiful wooden spoons as a show of their love for that special person in their lives.Each shape of the spoons has a different meaning.For example,horseshoes mean good luck;keys represent the key to a lover’s heart;and wheels are a sign of support.
Argentina:a week of sweets
Argentina celebrates Valentine’s Day in February,but also gives a whole other week to love in July.They call it Sweetness Week.If you kiss someone,they have to give you a sugary treat.
Sweetness Week started in 1989 with a candy company called Arcor.They made an advertisement called “Candy for a Kiss”.The idea was to give the company’s chocolates and other candies in exchange for a sweet kiss on the cheek.The campaign had a stronger effect than the company expected—it led to a new holiday!
Every July,couples who take part give each other candies and kisses all week long.
South Korea:three is a charm
For South Koreans,Valentine’s Day happens in three parts:February 14,March 14 and April 14.
On February 14,women traditionally give men gifts of chocolate to show their love.One month later,on a holiday known as White Day,men show their thanks by giving women a sweet gift.The name “White Day” comes from the custom of giving white-colored gifts.
Let’s not forget Black Day on April 14.Single people who did not get gifts on February 14 or March 14 often gather on Black Day to eat noodles with black bean soup.
1.What does a key-shaped spoon mean
A.Deep love. B.Good luck.
C.Strong support. D.Real thanks.

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.

C.English. D.American.
5.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about

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:land of love spoons部分第二段中的“keys represent the key to a lover’s heart”可知,钥匙形的勺子表示深深的爱。
2.D 细节理解题。根据Argentina:a week of sweets部分第一段中的“Argentina celebrates Valentine’s Day in February,but also gives a whole other week to love in July.They call it Sweetness Week.(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South Korea:three is a charm部分第二段中的“The name ‘White Day’ comes from the custom of giving white-colored gifts.(‘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。根据第二段内容可知,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。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。再根据第一段中的“The Irish have celebrated St.Patrick’s Day on March 17 every year for over 1,000 years.(爱尔兰人在每年的3月17日庆祝圣帕特里克节已有1 000多年的历史。)”可知,圣帕特里克出生于不列颠,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“as a result of the pandemic”可推知,“were canceled”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C项同义。
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’s Day)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“the advertising industry tries their best to appeal to you in order to motivate you to buy their products(广告行业会尽最大努力来吸引你,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“Have you ever heard of the saying,‘A fool and his money are soon parted’ (你曾听说过‘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是同义复现。
3.G 根据上文“Consider renting.”及下文“After all,how often will you be wearing that normal dress ”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“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.(说到衣服,你应该经常挑选出那些不用的。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“Every time you look at your closet and organize it,you find just how many items of clothing you have.(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。
Ⅵ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中秋节的习俗。
1.most important 考查形容词最高级。根据空前的one of the可知,此处填形容词最高级,故填most important。
2.and 考查连词。空格前后为并列关系,故填and。
3.to be 考查非谓语动词。appear to do sth为固定搭配,意为“看起来做某事”。故填to be。
4.why 考查连接词。分析句子结构可知,此空引导表语从句,所填的词在从句中作原因状语。故填why。
5.as 考查介词。as a custom表示“作为一种习俗”,故填介词as。
6.expression 考查词性转换。in expression of意为“表达”,为固定短语,故填expression。
7.After 考查连词。空处引导时间状语从句,表示“在……之后”,应用连词after,首字母大写,故填After。
8.to celebrate 考查非谓语动词。此处为动词不定式作目的状语,故填to celebrate。
9.has become 考查动词时态和主谓一致。根据“Since the Ming and Qing dynasties”可知,主句要用现在完成时;主语为the custom of Mid-Autumn Festival celebration,谓语用第三人称单数。故填has become。
10.burning 考查非谓语动词。as为介词,后接动词-ing形式,故填burning。Unit 2分层跟踪检测(三)Developing ideas & Presenting ideas & Reflection

Delighted to know of your interest in Chinese traditional festivals,I’d recommend Spring Festival to you as a typical Chinese celebration.
Spring Festival represents the most essential occasion for Chinese,which shares equal importance with Christmas in the West as we both have family get-togethers.This grand festival also features particular celebrations to get rid of the evils and embrace the fortune,ranging from thorough clean-up to firework displays,which create an energetic and cheerful atmosphere.
By helping you understand its importance and special celebrations,I am hoping to encourage you to find out more about our tradition.
Yours sincerely,

On the 1st of March Bulgarian people celebrate a traditional holiday called Baba Marta and it is related to welcoming the approaching spring.People all over the world meet spring with joy and new hopes but in Bulgaria it is saved as an ancient tradition.
On that day,Bulgarians exchange so-called “Martenitsa” and tell each other,“Chestita Baba Marta!(Happy Grandma Marta!)”This custom is essentially to wish great health,good luck,and happiness to family and friends.The name “Martenitsa” is taken from the Bulgarian word for March,or,as a legend tells,an angry old lady called Grandma Marta—Baba Marta in Bulgarian.
In Bulgarian folklore,Baba Marta is a grumpy old woman who changes her mood very rapidly and it is reflected in the changeable March weather.When she is smiling the weather is sunny and warm,but if she gets angry the cold will stay for longer and it may even snow.By wearing the red and white colors of the Martenitsa,they hoped that it will make winter pass faster and bring spring.
The Martenitsa is made of twined red and white threads-woollen,silk,or cotton.The white is a symbol of strength,purity and happiness.The red is associated with health and blood.
When someone gives you a Martenitsa,you should wear it either pinned on your clothes,on the hand tied around the wrist,or around your neck until you see a fruit tree in blossom for the first time in the season.After that you can tie it on a blossoming tree for fertility.Like a kind of amulet,Martenitsa was regarded as a magic power believed to protect folks from “ill fortune”,diseases and an evil eye.
The custom of wearing Martenitsa is probably one of the most interesting Bulgarian traditions and it is considered to be unique to Bulgaria.According to one of the many legends,this tradition is also related to the founding of the Bulgarian state in 681 CE.
1.What do we know about Baba Marta
A.It marks a huge improvement on agriculture.
B.It is celebrated by Bulgarian people on May 1st.
C.It lasts from March 1st until around the end of May.
D.It is a traditional holiday connected with welcoming spring.
2.What does the underlined word “grumpy” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Open-minded. B.Ill-tempered.
C.Easy-going. D.Cold-blooded.
3.How should a Martenitsa be worn correctly
A.By pinning it on the head.
B.By drawing it on the body.
C.By tying it around the wrist.
D.By sticking it on the trousers.
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A.To promote cultural research.
B.To tell people what to do in spring.
C.To introduce a Bulgarian tradition.
D.To show how to make the Martenitsa.

Every kid wishes to be an adult.Do you remember playing house as a child—pretending to be a grown-up like your parents Did you imagine you were a doctor,a soldier or a teacher At that time,anything seemed more exciting than being young.But now some grown-ups become “kidults” (kid+adult),who participate in the culture and activities traditionally intended for children. 1
Some kidults collect toys they once played with. 2 It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big,Snoopy-shaped cushion (坐垫) on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory (配件).
3 For example,Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover.That way,no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children’s book!
“Kidults can be like vitamins to society.Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure,childlike emotions may be needed in such a rough and dry society,” said Lee Sojung,professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University. 4 It could give children and their parents books,movies,and cartoon shows to enjoy together.He may be right.
Tim Greenhalgh,a professor in London,explained that some kidults just refused to grow up. 5 Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.“So,they can escape from increasingly complex and stressful lives that are hard to deal with,” Greenhalgh said.
A.They find they cannot leave childhood behind.
B.Other kidults still enjoy children’s stories and fairy tales.
C.Kidults often run into the problem of finding a job at their level.
D.They do so because the life in a busy and stressful city frightens them.
E.Hello Kitty,Garfield,and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world.
F.He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids.
G.They may not be great parents as well as able to take on adult responsibilities.

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——Baba Marta。
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Baba Marta,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Baba Marta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“old woman who changes her mood very rapidly and it is reflected in the changeable March weather”以及“When she is smiling the weather is sunny and warm,but if she gets angry the cold will stay for longer and it may even snow.”可知,Baba Marta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“When someone gives you a Martenitsa,you should wear it either pinned on your clothes,on the hand tied around the wrist,or around your neck”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。根据第二段可知,在节日当天,保加利亚人会交换Martenitsa,并告诉彼此“Chestita Baba Marta!”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】本文是一篇说明文。每个孩子都希望成为一个成年人,任何事情都比年轻更令人兴奋,但一些成年人发现,他们不能把童年抛之脑后。
1.A 根据上文“But now some grown-ups become ‘kidults’ (kid+adult),who participate in the culture and activities traditionally intended for children.”可知,成年人不想长大,他们发现他们不能把童年抛在脑后。A项内容“They find they cannot leave childhood behind.”与上文相吻合,选项中的“they”与上文的“some grown-ups”相对应,故选A项。
2.E 根据上文“Some kidults collect toys they once played with.”以及下文“It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big,Snoopy-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.”可知,此处应该和上下文提及的玩具有关联,而E项中的“Hello Kitty,Garfield,and Snoopy”与下文中的“Snoopy-shaped” “Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory”等相对应,故选E项。
3.B 根据上文“Some kidults collect toys they once played with.”可知,空处应与这一句相对应。上文中的“Some kidults”对应B项中的“Other kidults”。结合下文“...the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover...an adult is actually reading a children’s book!”可知,选B项。
4.F 上文是Lee Sojung说的话,而F项中的“He added that...”刚好承接上文。结合上文内容可知,F项符合语境,故选F项。
5.D 根据上文“Tim Greenhalgh,a professor in London,explained that some kidults just refused to grow up.”可知,他们不想长大是有原因的。D项中的“because the life in a busy and stressful city frightens them(因为生活在一个繁忙而紧张的城市让他们害怕)”说明了生活的压力导致了他们不想长大,故选D项。
