Unit 1 Festivals around the world
满分:120分 时间:90分钟
第 Ⅰ 卷
第一部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Groundhog Day is a yearly holiday celebrated on February 2 in the US and Canada.Tradition says that on this day the groundhog(土拨鼠)comes out of its hole after winter sleep to look for its shadow.If the shadow is seen,it's a sunny day.And the groundhog predicts six more weeks of cold winter weather.But spring is coming if no shadow is seen because of clouds.
The holiday goes back to the European tradition of Candlemas,a Christian holiday also celebrated on February 2.There is an old European belief that a sunny Candlemas day would lead the winter to last another six weeks.The German believed that a badger(獾)being frightened by his shadow on Candlemas would predict six more weeks of cold weather.This belief was brought into America during the 18th century by the German settlers.These settlers used the groundhog as their weather predictor.
Groundhog Day features a famous groundhog named Punxsutawney Phil.Every February 2,Phil is brought to his temporary(临时的)home on a hill outside the town of Punxsutawney,Pennsylvania,to predict the weather.People gather there early in the morning to wait for his appearance.When he doesn't see his shadow,loud cheers for the coming spring go up from the crowd.During the rest of the year,Phil lives in the town library with his“wife”Phyllis.
The festival has received worldwide attention since the movie Groundhog Day came out in 1993.The comedy takes place in Punxsutawney on this day.A television weather reporter is forced to relive the day over and over again until he can learn to give up his selfishness and become a better person.Since the showing of the movie,thousands of visitors have been coming to Punxsutawney to watch the real Groundhog Day.
Groundhog Day is also very popular in Canada and Wiarton Willy is the groundhog that is used to predict the length of winter over there.
每年的二月二日,美国宾夕法尼亚州的一个小镇都会欢度一个有趣的节日——土拨鼠节。
1.If it is cloudy on February 2,Phil will predict that________.
A.spring will be sunny
B.spring is coming in six weeks
C.winter will end soon
D.winter will last another six weeks
答案:C 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段末句But spring is coming if no shadow is seen because of clouds可知,如果因为天气多云土拨鼠看不到自己的影子,那么春天就会到来了,故选C项。
2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The history of Candlemas.
B.The tradition of Candlemas.
C.The influence of Groundhog Day.

B.scientific study
C.the habit of animals
D.geographic study
答案:A 解析:文章出处题。本文主要讲的是每年的二月二日,美国宾夕法尼亚州的一个小镇都会欢度一个有趣的节日——土拨鼠节。故A选项“当地风土人情”最恰当。
B
Last month my family,my husband and I visited the zoo in Tulsa,Oklahoma.I was afraid I just couldn't hide my excitement as it had been five years since I had been to the zoo.I was especially excited about getting to see the penguin exhibit that had been completed since my last visit.I thought it would be just as magical as it was the last time.
The Tulsa Zoo is located on Mohawk Park,and covers 84 acres,making it the third largest zoo in the US.The zoo has several highlights,but I have to admit that I found myself rather disappointed.The maintenance is deeply lacking,and most of the exhibits,landscaping,etc.looked like it had not been updated or well kept.Unfortunately,their polar bear died a short time ago.The strangest attraction was the missing in action jaguar(美洲虎).We spent several minutes searching for the animal without any luck.In most cases the zoo was good about putting up a sign whether the animal was no longer there or was moved to a different location,but it was a different case with the jaguar and likewise the kangaroo.
Almost all of the hands on equipment in the elephant encounter was broken and no longer working.Although the zoo did put up signs as an apology,it continued to add to the feeling that the zoo is approaching death.The one exhibit that did not fail to impress were the African Penguins.Their habitat was well built.The lion,bear,and tiger were also easy to watch.A favorite among the kids was clearly the monkeys who were very active and eager to put on a show.
The Tropical Rainforest did a very good job creating a special atmosphere.The cafe served very good food and had lovely indoor and outdoor areas for eating.They are currently re designing the Sea Lion exhibit,so the Sea Lions were not available for viewing while we were there.All things considered,the Tulsa Zoo is still the best zoo in our area,but I would only award it three out of five stars.
本文介绍了作者参观自己所在地区的一流动物园的经历及感受。
4.Seeing several highlights in the Tulsa Zoo,the author________.
A.felt very excited
B.was a little frightened
C.was not satisfied with them
D.thought it was worth seeing
答案:C 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The zoo has several highlights,but I have to admit that I found myself rather disappointed.”可知,答案为C项。
5.Why did the author think it was a different case with the jaguar?
A.Because the jaguar was friendly to the kangaroo and visitors.
B.Because the zoo didn't use a sign to show if the jaguar was there.
C.Because the jaguar is very dangerous compared with other animals.
D.Because the jaguar had disappeared when the author got there.
答案:B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In most cases the zoo was good about putting up a sign whether the animal was no longer there or was moved to a different location...”可知,答案为B项。
6.What can be concluded from this passage?
A.The Tulsa Zoo will be expanded to become the largest zoo in the US.
B.The author intended to visit the Sea Lion exhibit before going there.
C.The author felt that the Tulsa Zoo will close soon.
D.The Tulsa Zoo was very popular when the author was young.
答案:C 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Although the zoo did put up signs as an apology,it continued to add to the feeling that the zoo is approaching death.”可推断,答案为C项。
7.What does the author think of the Tulsa Zoo in general?
A.She thinks nothing of it.
B.It is the best zoo in the US.
C.She thinks very poorly of it.
D.It is a first class zoo in her area.
答案:D 解析:观点态度题。根据末段中的“All things considered...”可知答案。
C
When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong,China,we brought not only our luggage,but also our village rules,customs and culture.One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders.Unluckily,this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant.One time,when I was serving food to a middle aged couple,the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly.I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly.As soon as I said that,her face showed great displeasure.My manager,who happened to hear what I said,took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive Americans are and how they dislike the description“old”.I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife.After the couple heard my reason,they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences,so they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village in China,people are proud of being old.Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty,and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience.Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However,in the United States,people think“growing old”is a problem since“old”shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well.Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging,and women put on makeup,hoping to look young.When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly,they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young.I had told them something they didn't want to hear.
After that,I changed the way I had been with older people.It is not that I don't respect them any more;I still respect them,but now I don't show my feelings through words.
By Jack

(NEW YORK)A French tourist highly praised for rescuing a two year old girl in Manhattan said he didn't think twice before diving into the freezing East River.
Tuesday's Daily News said 29 year old Julien Duret from France was the man who left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday.
He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Seaport museum.He handed the girl to her father,David Anderson,who had dived in after him.
“I didn't think at all,”Duret told the Daily News.“It happened very fast.I reacted very fast.”
Duret,an engineer on vacation,was walking with his girlfriend along the pier(码头)when he saw something falling into the water.
He thought it was a doll,but he realized it was a child when he approached the river.Immediately,he took off his coat and jumped into the water.When he reached the girl,she appeared lifeless,he said.Fortunately,when she was out of the water,she opened her eyes.
Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when he was adjusting his camera.An ambulance came later for her,said Duret,who was handed dry clothes from onlookers.Duret caught a taxi with his girlfriend shortly after.
The rescue happened on the day before he left for France.Duret said he didn't realize his story of heroism had greatly moved New York until he was leaving the city the next morning.“I don't really think I'm a hero,”said Duret.“Anyone would do the same thing.”

第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do women talk more than men?__16__According to the latest research from the United States of America,men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate.Professor Deborah Tannen,of Georgetown University,has noticed differences in the style of boys' and girls' conversations from an early age.According to her study,little girls' conversation is less clear than boys' and expresses more doubts.__17__
These differences will continue into adult life,she says.In public conversations,men talk most and interrupt other speakers more than women do.In private conversations,men and women speak in almost equal amounts.__18__Professor Tannen believes that,for women,private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy(亲密).For men,private talking is a way to explore the power structure(结构)of a relationship.
__19__“When a woman teaches another woman,”says Professor Tannen,“she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in.When a man teaches a woman,however,he wants to show that he has more knowledge and power in conversation.__20__”
Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is preprogrammed for language.As we are usually taught to speak by women,it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual bias(偏向)in its programming;otherwise,male speech patterns would not arise at all.
A.And he uses his language to show this.
B.Do men talk in the same way as women?
C.However,they say things in a different style.
D.Women are far more silent than men in public conversations.
E.Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.
F.More women are encouraged to help each other,talking about their doubts.
G.Teaching is one job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show.
答案:16.B 17.E 18.C 19.G 20.A

参考范文:
On August 26th,2014,I took part in an English speech contest about“Protect Our Earth”in the Guangzhou Children's Palace.I had been preparing for it for a long time.Not only did I search information on the Internet and in the library but I also wrote a perfect speech.During the contest,I felt a little nervous at first,but soon I took a deep breath and calmed down.To my delight,I won the third place in the end.Through the contest,I learned that confidence is of great importance in our life.It is very important for us to learn to use English as often as possible in daily life and only we use English frequently can we improve our language ability.
