(2024·河南周口高一下期中)
Some Christmas traditions are pretty standard in mainstream American culture：put up the tree，string up the lights，visit grandma，and so on.
Then there’s the one my Colombian family does every year：the Novena de Aguinaldos.We pray(祈祷) for nine days without a stop，and this Novena counts down the nine days before Christmas.Most Americans have never heard of it，but in Colombia，it’s a big deal.
Like all good traditions，especially around the holidays，this tradition is about community and getting together with friends and family.My family immigrated(移民) from Colombia when I was just two months old.Every year，we gather with a group of Colombian friends for as many of the nine nights as we can.
There are three parts to the Novena de Aguinaldos.The first is the reading：each kid takes turns to read a book.Next comes the gozos，which means “The Joys”．That’s where the music comes in，and everyone gets an instrument，a maraca，a drum，a tin can—whatever you can use to make a sound.And then，the villancicos—Spanish Christmas carols(颂歌) come.
I’ve lived my whole life in the US.There’s not a lot of Colombian culture that we still hang onto.Why do we still carry on with the tradition of celebrating the Novenas，then
When I asked my parents the other day，the answer was that immigrants didn’t belong anywhere—not where you were，nor where you were from.So my parents helped create a space where we did.Even if the Novenas were nothing like what we might have celebrated if we’d stayed in Colombia，the Novenas became the heart of our community.
But our Novenas are starting to feel a little more breakable.It’s getting harder and harder for everyone to get together each year.Last year，I was studying abroad in Italy and couldn’t make it to any gathering；my brother went off to college and had exams late into December；my sister just moved to a new city，and my parents have taken up jobs in different countries.
语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。本文主要叙述了作者一家很早从哥伦比亚移民到美国，他们在美国人庆祝圣诞节前经常庆祝他们自己的节日，以此来找回归属感。但是由于后来家人都各自忙着自己的事，庆祝Novena de Aguinaldos也变得困难起来。

Some Christmas traditions are pretty standard in mainstream American culture：put up the tree，string up the lights，visit grandma，and so on.
语篇解读 这是一篇记叙文。本文主要叙述了作者一家很早从哥伦比亚移民到美国，他们在美国人庆祝圣诞节前经常庆祝他们自己的节日，以此来找回归属感。但是由于后来家人都各自忙着自己的事，庆祝Novena de Aguinaldos也变得困难起来。
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
Then there’s the one my Colombian family does every year：the Novena de Aguinaldos.We pray(祈祷) for nine days without a stop，and this Novena counts down the nine days before Christmas.Most Americans have never heard of it，but in Colombia，it’s a big deal.
Like all good traditions，especially around the holidays，this tradition is about community and getting together with friends and family.My family immigrated(移民) from Colombia when I was just two months old.Every year，we gather with a group of Colombian friends for as many of the nine nights as we can.
There are three parts to the Novena de Aguinaldos.The first is the reading：each kid takes turns to read a book.Next comes the gozos，which means “The Joys”.That’s where the music comes in，and everyone gets an instrument，a maraca，a drum，a tin can—whatever you can use to make a sound.And then，the villancicos—Spanish Christmas carols(颂歌) come.
I’ve lived my whole life in the US.There’s not a lot of Colombian culture that we still hang onto.Why do we still carry on with the tradition of celebrating the Novenas，then
When I asked my parents the other day，the answer was that immigrants didn’t belong anywhere—not where you were，nor where you were from.So my parents helped create a space where we did.Even if the Novenas were nothing like what we might have celebrated if we’d stayed in Colombia，the Novenas became the heart of our community.
But our Novenas are starting to feel a little more breakable.It’s getting harder and harder for everyone to get together each year.Last year，I was studying abroad in Italy and couldn’t make it to any gathering；my brother went off to college and had exams late into December；my sister just moved to a new city，and my parents have taken up jobs in different countries.
1.What is paragraph 4 mainly about

B.The development of a Colombian tradition.
C.The background of the Colombian family.
D.The differences between the Novena and Christmas.

(2025·福建龙岩高一上期末)
Heritages are unique and precious characteristics of a society that are passed down through generations.Without particular efforts，many of these become lost in time.Africa is a continent with rich cultural heritage.Traditions like folk tales and dances by the moonlight，poem and other unique activities make up a large part of cultural heritage in Africa.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。非洲是一个拥有丰富文化遗产的大陆。文章主要介绍了非洲的一些文化传统，作者认为非洲人将重建他们文化遗产的多样性。
Uganda’s Ekyogero traditional herbal(药草) bath is a famous tradition.It is a bath for newborn babies that is popular in many communities in Uganda.According to the culture，it makes the child strong and physically healthy.It is a herbal bath that is used to wash the baby and give it smooth skin.It is believed to bring good luck to the newborn and drive away curses(祸根).It is also believed that modern medicine does not have answers for every condition.In fact，a lot of modern medical treatments are based on traditional applications of herbs.
One unique thing about the Wodaabe people of Niger is the Guérewol competition.It is an annual marriage competition that has young men dancing and singing while dressed up with decorations and painted faces.As they dance and sing，they pat their eyes and show off their teeth to look more attractive.They intend to have one of the young girls of marriageable age fall in love with them and their skills.
Among the Maasai people of Kenya and Northern Tanzania spitting is a sign of respect and honor.It is also seen as a form of positive greeting.If one spits on one’s hands，which are then used to shake someone’s hand，it means a friendly greeting.When done on a single person，especially a baby，it means blessings(祝福).Also，when a father spits on his daughter on her wedding day，it means wishes and blessings for a beautiful home.
Today，most of the world is returning to its traditional ways or ideas.If countries like China，India，and Japan，who have long followed their traditional culture are doing well now，then Africa can do so too.It is time for Africans to get back to their roots by remembering and rebuilding their traditions.By taking part in a return to traditions，Africans will rebuild their diversity(多样性) of cultural heritage.
5.What do we know about the Ekyogero herbal bath
A.It’s a practice in the countryside of Uganda.
