【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了古代和现代的人们举行庆祝活动的原因以及一些庆祝的活动方式。
1.C 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Exactly when and where human beings began coming together in public to celebrate as a group can date back to hunter-gatherer societies, when success in the never-ending search for food, clothing, and shelter must have aroused the need to celebrate together.”可知,人类作为一个群体开始在公共场合聚集在一起庆祝的情形可以追溯到狩猎采集社会,在他们成功找到食物、住所时,人们就会聚在一起庆祝,由此推知,当农民在秋天收获时就会举行庆祝活动。故选C。

Parades were also used to demonstrate military power and celebrate military victories; to attract customers to events such as the circus by giving the public a sample of the entertainment; or to celebrate ethnic (民族的) connection and holidays.”可知,游行有着非常悠久的历史,公元前3000年就有宗教游行的记录,且许多场合都会有游行活动,它涉及各个方面,如军事、娱乐、庆祝民族联系和节日等,由此可知,游行有着非常悠久的历史,许多重要的历史时刻都会有游行活动。画线句通过引用1917年10月28日《纽约时报》中的一句话“如果你把游行从历史中剔除,那么你的历史就所剩无几了。”进一步说明,在人类历史中重要的时刻都会有游行活动。故选D。
3.C 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Flash mobs are a new way of gathering and celebrating. Secretly planned online, they bring together tens, hundreds, or thousands of individuals to perform some unusual or funny act in a public place.”可知,“快闪”是一个在网上进行策划,在约定好的公共场所聚集并表演某个不寻常或有趣的行为的行动。C选项 (一个网络团体策划并在拥挤的火车站表演了一段舞蹈。)最能描述“快闪”。故选C。

Parades were also used to demonstrate military power and celebrate military victories; to attract customers to events such as the circus by giving the public a sample of the entertainment; or to celebrate ethnic (民族的) connection and holidays.”以及第五段中“This does not mean, however, that modern celebrations are not socially conscious. One striking image inspiring community spirit is Edwards’ photograph of crowds in Australia, who were gathering in the rain for a music festival to raise funds for wildfire relief.”可知,本文主要阐述了在古代和现在人们会付出巨大的努力和费用来举行庆祝活动的原因。A选项能够概括文章主旨,适合作为最佳标题。故选A。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了红发节的起源和节日期间的一些活动等情况。
5.D 细节理解题。根据第一段“And although redheads can be found all over the world, the numbers are higher for people from the north of Europe, where the rate is between 2% and 6%.”可知,北欧人的红发率较高。故选D。
6.C 细节理解题。根据第二段“For many attendees, like 30-year-old Scottish Liam Hunter, the festival is an opportunity to feel a sense of belonging and self-acceptance. Hunter, who has experienced bullying (霸凌) due to his hair colour, expressed a sense of satisfaction and unity at the event.”可知,亨特的经历告诉我们红头发的人有时会受到歧视。故选C。
7.A 段落大意题。根据第四段“Interestingly, the festival’s start was somewhat accidental. Bart Rouwenhorst, an artist and the event’s organizer, placed an advertisement in the local newspaper in 2005 seeking 15 red-haired models for a painting project. Surprisingly, he received responses from 150 individuals. Although Rouwenhorst is not a redhead himself, he decided to organize a group photo with all the respondents. The gathering got much attention and was considered a success, leading the organizers to establish it as an annual event.”可知,第四段的主要内容是节日的起源。故选A。
8.C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The gathering got much attention and was considered a success, leading the organizers to establish it as an annual event.”可推知,这一活动是引人注目的。故选C。

1.B 根据下文“The factory where I was working had laid off (解雇) many of us workers, so we didn’t have much…”以及“…car repair had taken most of our cash.”可知,作者所在的工厂裁掉了很多员工,他修车又花掉了大部分积攒的给孩子买玩具的钱,因此对作者他们家来说,他们将度过一个贫穷的圣诞节。故选B。colourful多彩的;poor贫穷的;early早的;exciting令人激动的。

●Ⅴ 阅读理解
A
People around the world take celebrating seriously, and many of them are willing to go to great effort and expense to plan and participate in public celebrations.
Exactly when and where human beings began coming together in public to celebrate as a group can date back to hunter-gatherer societies, when success in the never-ending search for food, clothing, and shelter must have aroused the need to celebrate together.
Besides the need for food and survival, there are records of religious parades dating back to 3000 BC. Parades were also used to demonstrate military power and celebrate military victories; to attract customers to events such as the circus by giving the public a sample of the entertainment; or to celebrate ethnic (民族的) connection and holidays. The New York Times of October 28, 1917, summed it up by saying, “If you take the parades out of history, you have precious little history left.”
Of course, many modern celebrations are not connected to any religion. In the Internet era, electronic communication makes it possible to organize celebrations almost instantly. Flash mobs are a new way of gathering and celebrating. Secretly planned online, they bring together tens, hundreds, or thousands of individuals to perform some unusual or funny act in a public place. Flash mobs reflect not only the increased speed of communication but also a lighter attitude to celebration. No longer is public celebrating something necessarily linked to human survival, religion, or deep traditions.
This does not mean, however, that modern celebrations are not socially conscious. One striking image inspiring community spirit is Edwards’ photograph of crowds in Australia, who were gathering in the rain for a music festival to raise funds for wildfire relief. Throughout history, across countries and cultures, celebrations are always worth significant amount of time and money spent planning, preparing, organizing, and carrying out an event. The priority given to celebrating seems to put it alongside food, shelter, love, and freedom as a basic need of humanity.
( )1.According to the passage, which one of the following events can make celebrations happen
A.A business has made a huge profit.
B.It has been sunny for a week.
C.Farmers harvest in the autumn.
D.A new museum opens in the city centre.
( )2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 imply
A.If there is no parade, human history will be more precious.
B.Students should be taught the importance of parades in history class.
C.Only parades can be recorded in history books.
D.Many significant historic moments featured a parade.
( )3.Which of the following best describes a flash mob
A.Four strangers meet at a concert and then decide to perform together in a public square.
B.Someone announces openly a series of performances to take place at school.
C.An online group plans and performs a dance in a crowded train station.
D.The number of people watching a street performer grows to several hundred.
( )4.Which of these is the best title for the passage
A.Why we celebrate
B.Celebration and social responsibility
C.Planning a parade
D.The origin of celebration
B [2024·河南省南阳市六校高一期末]
The annual Redhead Days Festival in Tilburg, Netherlands, drew thousands of red-haired people from around the world in August, 2023. The three-day event is a celebration of red hair, a feature only shared by only 1%—2% of the global population. And although redheads can be found all over the world, the numbers are higher for people from the north of Europe, where the rate is between 2% and 6%.
For many attendees, like 30-year-old Scottish Liam Hunter, the festival is an opportunity to feel a sense of belonging and self-acceptance. Hunter, who has experienced bullying (霸凌) due to his hair colour, expressed a sense of satisfaction and unity at the event. “I don’t feel alone anymore. I feel together, a part of something,” he said.
The event, which attracted about 5,000 redheads from various countries, offered a range of activities including painting workshops, make-up and skincare knowledge, photo shoots, musical performances, and speed-meet events.
Interestingly, the festival’s start was somewhat accidental. Bart Rouwenhorst, an artist and the event’s organizer, placed an advertisement in the local newspaper in 2005 seeking 15 red-haired models for a painting project. Surprisingly, he received responses from 150 individuals. Although Rouwenhorst is not a redhead himself, he decided to organize a group photo with all the respondents. The gathering got much attention and was considered a success, leading the organizers to establish it as an annual event.
Now the festival serves as a special stage for redheads to celebrate their differences, develop a sense of community, and raise awareness of the challenges they face, such as bullying and increased sensitivity (过敏) to the sun. It also provides an opportunity for non-redheads to learn about and appreciate the uniqueness of red hair.
( )5.What can we learn from the first paragraph
A.Redheads celebrate their festival with various activities.
B.Red hair is a common disease among the global population.
C.The Redhead Days Festival is celebrated around the world.
D.Population in northern Europe has a higher rate of redheads.
( )6.What does Hunter’s experience tell us
A.The redheads enjoy a high social position.
B.The redheads take pride in their difference.
C.The redheads face discrimination sometimes.
D.The redheads have trouble keeping up with others.
( )7.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A.The origin of the festival.
B.The popularity of the festival.
C.Customs during the festival.
D.Activities during the festival.
( )8.Which of the following can best describe the event
A.Challenging. B.Informal.
C.Remarkable. D.Meaningless.

People around the world take celebrating seriously, and many
of them are willing to go to great effort and expense to plan and
participate in public celebrations.
Exactly when and where human beings began coming together
in public to celebrate as a group can date back to hunter-gatherer
societies, when success in the never-ending search for food,
clothing, and shelter must have aroused the need to celebrate
together.

Besides the need for food and survival, there are records of
religious parades dating back to 3000 BC. Parades were also used
to demonstrate military power and celebrate military victories; to
attract customers to events such as the circus by giving the public
a sample of the entertainment; or to celebrate ethnic (民族的)
connection and holidays. The New York Times of October 28, 1917,
summed it up by saying, “If you take the parades out of history,
you have precious little history left.”

Of course, many modern celebrations are not connected to any
religion. In the Internet era, electronic communication makes it
possible to organize celebrations almost instantly. Flash mobs are a
new way of gathering and celebrating. Secretly planned online,
they bring together tens, hundreds, or thousands of individuals to
perform some unusual or funny act in a public place. Flash mobs
reflect not only the increased speed of communication but also a
lighter attitude to celebration. No longer is public celebrating
something necessarily linked to human survival, religion, or deep
traditions.

This does not mean, however, that modern celebrations are not
socially conscious. One striking image inspiring community spirit is
Edwards' photograph of crowds in Australia, who were gathering in
the rain for a music festival to raise funds for wildfire relief.
Throughout history, across countries and cultures, celebrations are
always worth significant amount of time and money spent planning,
preparing, organizing, and carrying out an event. The priority given
to celebrating seems to put it alongside food, shelter, love, and
freedom as a basic need of humanity.

B[2024·河南省南阳市六校高一期末]
The annual Redhead Days Festival in Tilburg, Netherlands, drew
thousands of red-haired people from around the world in August,
2023. The three-day event is a celebration of red hair, a feature
only shared by only 1%—2% of the global population. And
although redheads can be found all over the world, the numbers
are higher for people from the north of Europe, where the rate is
between 2% and 6%.

For many attendees, like 30-year-old Scottish Liam Hunter, the
festival is an opportunity to feel a sense of belonging and self-
acceptance. Hunter, who has experienced bullying (霸凌) due to his
hair colour, expressed a sense of satisfaction and unity at the event.
“I don't feel alone anymore. I feel together, a part of something,”
he said.
The event, which attracted about 5,000 redheads from various
countries, offered a range of activities including painting workshops,
make-up and skincare knowledge, photo shoots, musical
performances, and speed-meet events.

Interestingly, the festival's start was somewhat accidental. Bart
Rouwenhorst, an artist and the event's organizer, placed an
advertisement in the local newspaper in 2005 seeking 15 red-
haired models for a painting project. Surprisingly, he received
responses from 150 individuals. Although Rouwenhorst is not a
redhead himself, he decided to organize a group photo with all the
respondents. The gathering got much attention and was considered
a success, leading the organizers to establish it as an annual event.

Now the festival serves as a special stage for redheads to
celebrate their differences, develop a sense of community, and
raise awareness of the challenges they face, such as bullying and
increased sensitivity (过敏) to the sun. It also provides an
opportunity for non-redheads to learn about and appreciate the
uniqueness of red hair.
