(2024安徽合肥一中月考)
In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after World War Ⅱ.
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 about 400,000 people yearly.
At the same time, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (the Fringe) appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, believing that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house that had been abandoned (废弃的) for years.
Soon, groups of students firstly from the University of Edinburgh, and later from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform plays by little-known writers in small halls.
Today the Fringe, once less embraced, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of music, dance and theatre on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator(管理人员) was first employed only in 1971. 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.
1.Why did some famous people hold an international festival in 1947
A.To honour heroes of World War Ⅱ.　　　B.To introduce young theatre groups.
C.To attract great artists from Europe.　　　D.To bring Europe together again.
2.Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh
A.They came to take up a challenge.　　　B.They thought they were also famous.
C.They wanted to take part in the festival.　　　D.They owned a public house there.
3.Who joined the Fringe after it appeared
A.Popular writers.　　　B.University students.
C.Artists from around the world.　　　D.Performers of music and dance.
4.Why are the numbers mentioned in the last paragraph
A.To prove different groups have come to the festival.
B.To show administrators are busy in August.
C.To prove the tickets for the festival sell well.
D.To show the festival has grown rapidly.

(2024山东枣庄、滕州期中联考)
As a child growing up in a suburban town in the northeast of the United States, the arrival of spring had little meaning for me. Sure, we had a week-long spring vacation from school, but the key word there was vacation, not spring.
For the kids in my neighborhood, spring was a meaningless existence. There were two important seasons: winter, when we could go skating and sledding or build snow forts, and summer, when we could finally make proper use of the beach about 100 meters east of my family home. Spring and autumn were just technical terms, weeks and weeks of waiting for the good times return.
Admittedly, spring later developed its own attractions for me—“In the spring a young man s fancy turns to thoughts of love”, as the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson noted. However, it was not spring itself, but some other stuff that got my attention.
In short, I never thought much at all about spring and then I arrived in China. I had been in Beijing for about three months when my first Spring Festival rolled around, and it could hardly be ignored. What stood out most for me was that the capital seemed to be empty.
It was as though the crowds and streams of cars commonly seen in the capital had all gone into hiding. My puzzlement was cleared up when I returned to work. My colleagues explained that Chinese traditionally travel, if necessary, to visit their family during Spring Festival, and that many Beijingers were not natives of the capital.
I also got my first knowledge of something about Spring Festival that never ceases to amaze me. Regardless of when the holiday is set to begin, there is an almost immediate and sudden change for the better in the weather. Spring really does arrive.
I can t begin to figure out how the ancient Chinese could create a system that would almost always accurately predict when the season would shift year after year after year. But they did.
5.What did the author think of spring as a child
A.It was a season full of promise.　　　B.It was always beyond his imagination.
C.It was a tiring and long holiday.　　　D.It hardly left a good impression on him.
6.What impressed the author most about Beijing during Spring Festival
A.The busy traffic.　　　B.The unexpected quietness.
C.Beijingers love for travel.　　　D.The weather prediction system.
7.How does the author feel about the system created by the ancient Chinese
A.Adorable.　　　B.Confused.　　　C.Wonderful.　　　D.Convenient.
8.What can be inferred from the text
A.Spring Festival in Beijing will make one feel quite lonely.
B.The author spent his first Spring Festival at a colleague s home.
C.In China Spring Festival always indicates the coming of spring.
D.The author still worked during Spring Festival while in Beijing.

Unit 2 Let s celebrate!
Part 1　Starting out & Understanding ideas
基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.freedom　2.harvests　3.regular　4.limitless
Ⅱ.1.in　考查介词。 句意:那些参加这个文化节的庆祝活动的人被展出的民间艺术作品深深吸引了。participate in参加。
2.for　考查介词。句意:中国国家图书馆在网上推出了48部纪录片,观众可以为自己最喜爱的纪录片投票。vote for...为固定搭配,意为“为……投票”。故填for。
3.decorations　考查名词。句意:让我们为即将到来的春节买些装饰品吧,我们的女儿肯定会喜欢的。设空处作buy的宾语,表示“装饰品”,应用名词decoration;由空前的some和空后的them可知应用名词复数,故填decorations。
4.to　考查介词。句意:她总是向她最好的朋友抱怨她不愉快的婚姻生活,以此来发泄情绪。complain to sb. about...意为“向某人抱怨……”。
5.warning　考查名词。句意:所有的烟草制品上都要求附有健康警告。根据空前的不定冠词a可知设空处应用名词形式。a health warning健康警告。
6.has been honoured　考查时态、语态及主谓一致。句意:自东汉以来,张仲景一直被尊为“医圣”。由句中的时间状语“since the Eastern Han Dynasty”可知应用现在完成时;句子主语Zhang Zhongjing与honour为被动关系,表示“被授予荣誉”,因此应用被动语态;主语是第三人称单数形式,故填has been honoured。
Ⅲ.1.wrap up　2.regardless of

能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.who　考查定语从句。句意:也许对于那些把圣诞节视为一年中的一个特殊时刻的人来说《圣诞老爸的来信》是一本再合适不过的书。设空处无提示词,空前为代词those,空后部分缺少主语,由此推断设空处引导定语从句。先行词为those,those在此处指“那些人”,设空处在从句中作主语,故填who。
易错归因
本空易错填that。虽然that和who一样,也可以引导先行词指人的定语从句且在从句中作主语,但在满足以上条件的情况下,当先行词是those且those指人时,关系词宜用who不宜用that。
2.names　考查名词单复数。句意:作者J.R.R.托尔金是英国文学中最著名的人物之一。根据空前的形容词famous可知空处应用名词;根据空前的“one of the most famous”可知设空处应用名词复数形式,表示“最著名的人物之一”。“one of the+形容词最高级+复数名词”表示“最……的……之一”。故填names。
3.be addressed　考查语态。由语境可知信封是被寄给托尔金的孩子们的,an envelope与address之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,空前是would,故填be addressed。
4.beautifully　考查副词。由语境可知此处表示“加入了精美的插图”,illustrate在此处意为“加插图于”,设空处修饰was illustrated,应用副词形式。故填beautifully。
5.if　考查连词。设空处无提示词,空前的“Tolkien did not mention how to punish his children in the letters”和空后的“they were not good”均为完整的句子,应用连词连接,则设空处用连词;由语境可知此处是说托尔金没有提到如果他的孩子们表现不好会如何惩罚他们,由此可知设空处意为“如果”,“　　　 they were not good”是设空处引导的条件状语从句,故填if。
6.different　考查形容词。此处表示“一些不同的东西”,设空处作后置定语修饰不定代词 something,应用形容词,表示“不同的”,故填different。
7.with　考查介词。be satisfied with...是固定搭配,意为“对……满意”。故填with。
8.were　考查时态和主谓一致。根据设空处所在句及其前一句可知这两句说的都是托尔金对他的孩子们的忠告,根据这两句中的reminded、were再结合语境可知应用一般过去时。分析句子结构可知,“there 　　　 plenty of starving and poor people all over the world”使用的是there be句型,主语是“plenty of starving and poor people”,be动词应用复数形式,故填were。
9.showing　考查动名词。根据空前的介词By可知设空处应用动词show的动名词形式作By的宾语。故填showing。
10.a　考查冠词。句意:同时,通过用这样一种特殊的方式来表达对他的孩子们的爱,托尔金可能就是真正的圣诞老爸。in a/an...way是固定搭配,意为“以一种……的方式”,因此设空处应用不定冠词;special以辅音音素开头,故填a。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了生日贺卡的起源及发展历史。
1.sending　考查动名词。设空处作介词of的宾语,提示词为动词,应用其动名词形式,故填sending。
2.that　考查主语从句的连接词。此处是说虽然不知道寄生日贺卡的传统准确地始于何时何地,但据信它始于19世纪初期的英格兰。由语境可知此处使用的是固定句型it is believed that...,意为“据信……”,其中it为形式主语,that引导的主语从句为真正的主语。
3.a　考查冠词。设空处无提示词,分析句子结构可知,“　3　 happy birthday”作wish的宾语,宾语的中心词为birthday,设空处修饰birthday。birthday为可数名词且此处用的是单数形式,前边需要有冠词等限定词修饰,由此可知设空处应用冠词;此处表示“一个快乐的生日”,表泛指,且happy以辅音音素开头,故填a。wish sb. a happy birthday意为“祝某人生日快乐”。
4.was issued　考查时态、语态及主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,句中第一个and连接两个并列分句,设空处为第一个分句的谓语。在第一个分句中,由时间状语In 1840可知此处表示过去发生的事,应用一般过去时;issue在此处意为“发行”,主语the first postage stamp与issue之间为被动关系,应用被动语态,且主语为第三人称单数形式,故填was issued。
5.cheaper　考查形容词比较级。结合语境及本句中的more popular可知,设空处表示“更便宜的”, 应用比较级,故填cheaper。
6.are given　考查时态、语态及主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,逗号前为主句,设空处为主句的谓语,逗号后的when引导时间状语从句。由Today和usually可知,此处描述现在的一般情况,应用一般现在时;cards与give之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,且主语是复数形式,故填are given。
7.their　考查代词。设空处作定语修饰wishes,表示“他们的”,应用形容词性物主代词their。
8.of　考查介词。instead of意为“而不是”。
9.friendly　考查形容词。空前有副词environmentally修饰,则设空处应用形容词。由语境可知此处是说许多人开始使用电子卡片,因为它们既免费又环保;environmentally friendly意为“环保的”,故应用形容词friendly。
10.simply　考查副词。设空处作状语,表示强调,故用simple的副词形式simply。
【高频词汇】　1.in person亲自,亲身　2.take the place of代替,替换
Ⅲ.A
◎语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了爱丁堡艺术节的由来及发展。
1.D　细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知,1947年,一群艺术界的名人决定在爱丁堡举办一个国际音乐、舞蹈和戏剧节,这个想法是为了使欧洲在二战后重新团结起来。由此可知,一些名人在1947年举办一个国际节日是为了让欧洲再次团结起来。故选D。
2.C　推理判断题。根据第三段第二句的内容可知,1947年,八个剧团不请自来,他们认为每个人都有表演的权利,他们在一个已经废弃多年的酒吧里表演。由此可推知,一些不请自来的剧团来到爱丁堡是因为他们想参与这个节日。故选C。
3.B　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Soon, groups of students firstly from...and later from...were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform plays”可知,来自爱丁堡大学、牛津大学、剑桥大学、杜伦大学和伯明翰大学的学生每年夏天都会来到苏格兰首都表演,由此可知,爱丁堡艺穗节出现之后加入其中的是大学生。故选B。
4.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知,付费管理员在1971年才第一次被雇用,而今天有8名管理员全年工作,8月份上升到150人;2004年,来自50个不同国家的600多个不同团体在200个地方举办了1,695场演出,售出了超过125万张门票。由此可推知,最后一段提到这些数字是为了表明该节日发展迅速。故选D。
【高频词汇】　1.fixed adj.固定的　2.turn up出现,露面
【差距词汇】　outgrow v.增加得比……快;长得比……快
长难句
原句　Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, believing that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house that had been abandoned for years.
分析　本句为并列复合句。连词and连接两个并列分句。第一个分句中“believing that...perform”为现在分词作状语,其中that引导的是宾语从句,说明认为的内容。第二个分句中that引导的是定语从句,先行词是public house。
译文　 1947年,八个剧团不请自来,他们认为每个人都有表演的权利,他们在一个已经废弃多年的酒吧里表演。
B
◎语篇解读　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了作者小时候认为春天很无聊,后来来到中国,看到春节期间中国的传统,对中国的传统文化产生了钦佩之心。
5.D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“As a child growing up in...the arrival of spring had little meaning for me.”和第二段中的“For the kids in my neighborhood, spring was a meaningless existence.”及“Spring and autumn were just technical terms, weeks and weeks of waiting for the good times return.”可知,春天对作者来说没什么意义,只是等待好时光来临的无聊日子。由此可知,春天几乎没有给作者留下好印象。故选D。
6.B　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“I had been in Beijing for...when my first Spring Festival rolled around, and it could hardly be ignored. What stood out most for me was that the capital seemed to be empty.”和第五段第一句“It was as though the crowds and streams of cars commonly seen in the capital had all gone into hiding.(似乎在首都常见的人群和川流不息的汽车都躲起来了。)”可知,春节期间的北京给作者印象最深的是意想不到的安静。故选B。
7.C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“I also got my first knowledge of...ceases to amaze me. Regardless of when the holiday is set to begin, there is an almost immediate and sudden change for the better in the weather.”可知,无论春节假期什么时候开始,天气几乎都会突然好转,作者对这一情况感到惊讶。再结合最后一段“I can t begin to figure out...But they did.(我不明白古代的中国人是如何创造出一个几乎总是能准确预测年复一年季节变化的系统的。但他们做到了。)”可推断,作者认为古代中国人创造的这一系统令人惊叹。故选C(令人惊叹的,极好的)。A.可爱的,讨人喜爱的;B.困惑的;D.方便的。
8.C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的内容可知,无论春节假期什么时候开始,天气几乎都会突然好转,春天真的来了。由此可推断,在中国春节总是预示着春天的到来。故选C。
