Ⅲ.【文章大意】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者参加社区活动,给有需要的人送新年礼物的经历。
1.saying 考查非谓语动词。句中有谓语动词gave且句中无连词,故应用say的非谓语动词形式,a piece of paper与say之间为逻辑上的主动关系,即“这张纸上说的内容是……”,故用say的现在分词saying作定语修饰a piece of paper。故填saying。
2.who/that 考查定语从句。空处引导限制性定语从句,先行词为those,指人,在从句中作主语,故应用关系代词who或that引导从句。故填who/that。
3.kindness 考查名词。空格处单词作spread的宾语,应用名词,kind意为“善良的”,形容词词性,对应的名词为kindness,意为“善良”,为不可数名词。故填kindness。
4.drove 考查动词时态。根据句中gave可知,句子陈述的是过去的事,应用一般过去时,动词要用过去式,drive的过去式为drove。故填drove。
5.parents 考查名词复数。根据句意可知,句中涉及固定短语“one of +可数名词复数”,意为“……中的一个”,句中指“父母中的一个”,parent意为“父亲(或母亲)”,名词词性,复数形式为parents,意为“父母,双亲”。故填parents。
6.but 考查连词。根据句意可知,句中“我觉得一切都很奇怪,很令人困惑”和“我还是坚持下去了”之间为转折关系,故应用连词but。故填but。
7.called 考查非谓语动词。句中有谓语动词remembered,且句中无连词,故应用call的非谓语形式,boy和call之间为逻辑上的被动关系,故应用call的过去分词called。故填called。
8.without 考查介词。根据下文“我给杰克买了一件夹克”可知,他在寒冷的冬天没有穿夹克,故空处应用介词without。故填without。
9.finally 考查副词。空格后chose意为“选择”,动词词性,前面应用副词修饰,final意为“最后的”,形容词词性,对应的副词为finally。故填finally。
10.Seeing 考查非谓语动词。空处需填非谓语动词作状语,I和see为逻辑上的主动关系,需用现在分词形式,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Seeing。
Ⅳ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,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,庆祝九日敬礼节也变得困难起来。
1.A 段落大意题。根据第四段“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 come.”可知,第四段主要讲了庆祝九日敬礼节的过程。故选A项。
2.B 细节理解题。根据第六段“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.”可知,哥伦比亚家庭庆祝九日敬礼节是为了找到归属感。故选B项。
3.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段“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.”可知,他们各自忙碌的生活使得这个哥伦比亚家庭庆祝九日敬礼节变得困难。故选B项。
4.D 主旨大意题。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,庆祝九日敬礼节也变得困难起来。所以短文的最佳标题为“生活在美国的哥伦比亚家庭的九日敬礼节”。故选D项。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了四种最受欢迎的母亲节礼物。
1.E 根据上文“Mother’s Day is the time to celebrate the great women who raised us.”可知,母亲节是我们向母亲致敬的日子,E项“However, it can be difficult to find a gift to show your appreciation.”(但是,很难找到礼物来表达你的感激之情。)与上文构成转折关系,符合文意。故选E项。
2.C 根据上文“Pick the gift of relaxation.”及“Your mum deserves a break, and many spas offer special Mother’s Day packages with relaxing massages and facials.”可知,可以给母亲预订水疗服务,与C项“Book her in for a day, or buy her a gift card.”(为她预订一天,或给她办一张卡。)上下文一致,符合文意,且gift card与下文中的use it前后呼应,故选C项。
3.G 根据上文“Say it with flowers. Flowers are a classic Mother’s Day gift for a reason, and an arrangement of her favourite blooms is sure to bring a smile to her face.”可知,本段讲述的是买花的事情,与G项“You don’t have to spend hundreds on expensive bouquets in the flower shops.”(你不必在花店花几百美元购买昂贵的花束。)上下文一致,符合文意,且G项与下一句“You can just make your own arrangement with flowers from the supermarket, and wrap them in brown paper for a nice look on your budget.”是顺接关系。故选G项。
4.A 根据下文“Booking monthly gifts is more popular than ever. From flowers to wines of the month, and even fresh coffee beans from local producers, you can show your appreciation for all she does for the whole year, rather than just one day.”可知,本段是在讲述要经常送礼物,与A项“Keep the gifts coming.”(让礼物不断到来。)内容一致,符合文意,故选A项。
5.F 根据上文“Spend some quality time. It’s lovely to get presents, but what your mum probably wants more than everything is to spend some quality time with you. Treat her to a day out with an activity she’ll love, whether she’s into wine tasting or an elegant afternoon tea.”可知,本段是在讲述如何和妈妈共度美好时光,F项“Or spend the day at home, letting her put her feet up while you cook.”(或者在家里度过一天,在你做饭时,让她休息放松。)和上文是顺接关系。故选F项。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了四岁的艾米丽是聋哑人,在圣诞节前,母亲带她和哥哥去看圣诞老人,扮演精灵霍莉的梅兰妮懂得手语,这使得艾米丽能够与小精灵自由交流并告诉圣诞老人她想要什么。

[2024·四川南充高一期中]
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 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 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
A.The process of celebrating the Novena.
B.The development of a Colombian tradition.
C.The background of the Colombian family.
D.The differences between the Novena and Christmas.
( )2.Why does the Colombian family celebrate the Novena
A.To remember their dead friends.
B.To find a sense of belonging.
C.To show their respect for Americans.
D.To understand the local culture.
( )3.What makes celebrating the Novena difficult for the Colombian family
A.Lack of money.
B.Their separate busy life.
C.American laws.
D.Friends’ complaints.
( )4.What’s the best title for the text
A.Growing up
B.Colourful culture
C.Exploring American Christmas traditions

Mother’s Day is the time to celebrate the great women who raised us. 1. With Mother’s Day nearly upon us, a lot of people are looking for last-minute presents—but it’s not too late! Here are four most popular Mother’s Day gifts that will give you some inspiration.
Pick the gift of relaxation. For the mum who is always rushing around, looking after everyone but herself, a day of rest and relaxation at the spa is the perfect gift. Your mum deserves a break, and many spas offer special Mother’s Day packages with relaxing massages and facials. 2. She can use it when she can fit it in her busy schedule.
Say it with flowers. Flowers are a classic Mother’s Day gift for a reason, and an arrangement of her favourite blooms is sure to bring a smile to her face. 3. You can just make your own arrangement with flowers from the supermarket, and wrap them in brown paper for a nice look on your budget.
4. Why give one gift when you can give her a gift every month Booking monthly gifts is more popular than ever. From flowers to wines of the month, and even fresh coffee beans from local producers, you can show your appreciation for all she does for the whole year, rather than just one day.
Spend some quality time. It’s lovely to get presents, but what your mum probably wants more than everything is to spend some quality time with you. Treat her to a day out with an activity she’ll love, whether she’s into wine tasting or an elegant afternoon tea. 5.
A.Keep the gifts coming.
B.Show your gratitude with gifts.
C.Book her in for a day, or buy her a gift card.
D.Try to make something with her name or birthstone on it.
E.However, it can be difficult to find a gift to show your appreciation.

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 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 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,
1
2

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.
