1. Name some festivals you know and the time when they are celebrated.
2. Why are so many festivals celebrated in the spring or autumn of the year
● 背景知识
The oldest and most important festival in China is the Spring Festival, more commonly known in the West as Chinese New Year. Like all Chinese festivals, the date of the new year is determined by the lunar calendar(日历) rather than the Western (Gregorian) calendar, so the date of the holiday differs from late January to early February.
The Spring festival celebrates the earth coming back to life, and the start of ploughing (犁) and sowing(播种). In the past, feudal rulers of dynasties placed great importance on this event, and ceremonies to start the season were performed.
Preparations for the New Year festival start during the last few days of the last moon. Houses are thoroughly cleaned, debts repaid, hair cut and new clothes bought. Doors are decorated with couplets(对联) on red paper whose texts seek good luck and praise nature, this practice which develops from the hanging of peach-wood controls with magic power to keep away ghosts and evil spirits. In many homes incense is burned, and also in the temples as a mark of respect to ancestors.
On New Year’s Eve houses are brightly lit and a large family dinner is served. In the south of China sticky-sweet glutinous rice(糯米) pudding called nian gao is served, while in the north the steamed dumpling jiaozi is popular. Most celebrating the festival stay up till midnight, when fireworks are lit, to drive away evil spirits. New Years day is often spent visiting neighbours, family and friends.
The public holiday for New Year lasts 3 days in China, but the festival traditionally lasts till the 15th day of the lunar month and ends with the ‘Lantern(灯笼) Festival’. Here, houses are decorated with colourful lanterns, and yuanxiao, a sweet or savoury (咸味的,辛辣的) fried or boiled dumpling made of glutinous rice flour is eaten.

take place “发生,举行”。,常用来指按计划发生的事,带有“非偶然”的意思。
happen “发生”。,普通用词,含义很广。常指具体客观事物或情况的发生,含有“偶然”的意味。当以具体事物、事件作主语时,happen 和 occur 可以换用;但当happen用作“碰巧”之意时,不能用occur代替,但可以与come about 互换。
occur “发生 ,出现”,。较正式用词,可指事情偶然地、意外地发生或思想突然浮在心头。一般所指的发生的时间和事件都比较确定。occur to 有“想起”的意思。
come about “发生”, 常指偶然发生的事情。且很多时候与how 连用。与happen 用法较接近。

●语法专讲
情态动词(一)
情态动词体现说话者的语气、情感、态度。但本身词义不完全,不能单独作谓语动词,必须和不带to的不定式(即动词原形)连用。情态动词没有人称和数的变化,但有的有过去式。情态动词数量不多,但其用法灵活多变,相互间区分度小,不易把握,需在熟练掌握其在各种句式中的基本含义和用法的基础上加以细心体会、区别。
1. can 和 could (1)表示“能够做……’’。如:No one could pass the exam last week. (2)表示许可。如:You can stay here until your father comes to pick you up. (3) 表示请求,这时,could比can的语气要委婉。如:Could you lend me a pen, please (4) 表示可能、猜测。常用于否定句和疑问句,有时也用于肯定句,表示的是逻辑上的可能性。如:He can’t be at home at this time.
Mr. Smith is in poor health, and he can be ill at any time.
can 和 be able to的区别:(1)形式上的区别。:can 只有现在式和过去式 could; 而be able to则又可用于多种时态。如:is able to, were able to, will be able to等。(2)语义上的区别。:can 通常用来指一种固有的能力,如Ducks can swim.鸭子会游水。而be able to则常用来指某一次具体的行为,且是通过了努力后才能够做成某事。如:You are better able to do it than I am. Though completely drunk last night, he was able to find his home. 你比我更有能力担任此事虽然昨晚他完全喝醉了,但他还是可以找到家。
2. may 和 might (1) 表示许可。可与can 互换。 (2)表示请求,语气较委婉。(3)表示可能性,但说话人把握不大(若有确切把握且是肯定句中则用must,否定句中用can’t)。通常只用于肯定句或否定句。在肯定句中表示的是事实上的可能性。如:John looks weak. He may be ill.
3. will 和 would (1)两者都可以表示承诺和意愿。如:The whole family will come for dinner.
Who will go with me (2) 表示请求,此时用would语气较委婉。如:Would you join us (3) would 还常用来表示过去的习惯和传统。如:He would sit alone for a whole morning when he was upset during his childhood.
4. shall 和 should (1) 表示承诺和意愿,但常用于第一人称。 (2) 表示建议。如:You should learn more about western culture if you want to study abroad. (3) 表示预测“应当” 。如:It’s nearly 7 o’clock. Dad should come home soon.

IIII.阅读理解
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳答案。
A
Ramadan
Ramadan is one of the most important festivals for Muslims. The name of the festival comes from the Arabic month in which it is celebrated. Ramadan is celebrated in countries all over the world, especially in Africa and the Middle East. The time for celebrating Ramadan varies each year. People celebrate it in the ninth month of the Arabic lunar calendar. During Ramadan, people must not eat during the day: from when the sun comes up to when the sun goes down, people celebrating Ramadan will not eat or smoke. When the sun has gone down, however, the celebration begins. People often stay up all night eating, singing and dancing.
Easter
In late spring, many people around the world celebrate Easter. The festival is a celebration of spring and it is also a religious holiday. It is the time for Eater bunnies and egg hunts, and of course for eating lots of delicious foods. Easter is celebrated in late March or early April but the exact dates are different from year to year. People celebrate Easter in different ways: in some countries, the Easter Bunny—a big rabbit—will visit and children will go on egg hunts, looking for eggs and candy that have been hidden by their parents. In other countries, Easter is a time for children to dress up like witches and go from door to door asking for candy—much like Halloween in the US. The Easter Bunny and the Easter Egg are popular symbols of the festival.
28. Ramadan is celebrated in the ________ month of the Arabic lunar calendar.
A. eighth B. ninth C. tenth D. eleventh
29. The word Ramadan is the name of ________.

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child who learns to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time. If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language those around him. Little by little, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught – to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes.
But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for his act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine(daily) work Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get to measure(衡量) their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
33.6. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by ________.
A. listening to the advice of grown-ups B. asking adults many questions
C. making mistakes and having them corrected D. doing as other people do by themselves
34 7. Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do
A. Give children correct answers. B. Allow children to make mistakes.
C. Tell the children what is wrong with their work as often as possible.
D. Let children judge their own work.
358. According to the writer, teachers in school should ________.
A. encourage children to learn from each other
B. point out children’s mistakes whenever they are found
C. correct children’s mistakes as much as possible D. teach children more book knowledge
936. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are ________.
A. different from learning other skills B. the same as learning other skills
C. more important than other skills D. unnecessary skills
1037. Which of the following may serve as the best title of this passage
A. Let Us Teachers Stop Working B. Let Children Alone
C. Let Children Correct Their Exercises D. Let Children Learn by Themselves
Thanksgiving Day is a special holiday in the United States and Canada. Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing.
Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. This is why it is celebrated in late fall, after the crops are in. but one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest. On December 4, 1610, the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia. They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic.
The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel. Many of the Pilgrims died. But the next year, they had a good harvest, so Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast. The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast. Everyone brought food.

篇章结构
下面是一篇杂志文章,请将标有A-F的段落插入文章标号为38-42的合适位置,使这篇文章意义完整,结构连贯;其中有一个段落是多余的。
With the increase of the world’s population, many regions that used to have plenty wildlife have already been occupied by Man. Although nowadays more and more people realize that wildlife must be protected, the problem is far from solved.
Over the past several decades the population of the world has been increased rapidly. The deadly expansion of population has made the burden of the land heavier and heavier. 38 The result is one after another, many species of wildlife disappeared from the Earth forever.
In some countries a great quantity of money was spent on wildlife protection. 39
The nature is marvelous and complicated. Every kind of wild living is an unsubstitutable (不可替代的) point in the chain of environment. The extinction of any species will cause an unrecoverable loss to the living conditions for mankind. 40
Animals and plants are not only the resources of our food and clothing. Without them, the Earth would be a death globe where Man cannot live alone.
One thing may be a convincing example. 41 However, in the past decades huge areas of tropic jungle have been cut down. The wood was sold for money; the land was changed into farms. If this should continue, not only the beasts and birds would lose their home, but human beings all over the world would also lack enough oxygen to breathe.
We have only one Earth. 42
A. Nobody can live without breathing air, because we need the oxygen in it. But the oxygen on the Earth is made entirely by green plants. And the tropic jungles in Africa and South America produce a great part of the oxygen in our atmosphere.
B. In some parts of the world people are suffering from extreme poverty. When human beings are starving you cannot hope they would pay too much attention to the protection of wildlife. They expand their farmland, cut down trees, and destroy the environment where wild animals live.
C. When more and more wild animals and plants disappear from the Earth, the doom of mankind, together with our only home, is drawing near.
D. The amount is perhaps much larger than that in some developing countries where the government are focusing on raising people’s living standard. But the situation as a whole is not so optimistic.
E. Now that the nature balance has been broken, it won’t be necessary for us to discuss whose fault it is. We can’t deny that everybody has done something to damage the nature, so we can’t deny that everybody should take the responsibility for protecting our living planet.
F. We are responsible to cherish it and keep it a place suitable for Man to live on. Therefore, let’s do something to protect the wildlife all over the world, for us, and for our descendents.
很棒! 不错! 还要努力。

●文脉理解
Aims/reasons: autumn; ancestors; the gods; agricultural; winter; spring
Festivals: the Cherry Blossom Festival
Where: Mexico; the USA; western; Japan; Christian
How to celebrate: fire, music; the graves, incense, in the shape of skulls, with bones on them; sweets, frighten, tricks; churches, have meals, awards; the moon, mooncakes; lucky money, parades, loud music
●畅所欲言
1: A: I think we should because Christmas is a festival in most English-speaking countries. And now we are learning English, so we should learn not only their language, but also their customs and cultures. Only when we do this can we say we really know English and use English in a right way.
B: I don’t think we should. As we know, each culture has its own festivals, we should keep our custom and be proud of it. We may learn about the western festivals for learning English better, but we shouldn’t celebrate them in China. Or why don’t the British people celebrate Chinese festivals
2: A: Yes, as I see, our country has sent people abroad many times to spread our culture like holding concerts of Chinese classical music, playing Beijing opera and so on. And also we celebrate our festivals grandly, as what we did in the past. Besides, the government even let people have a holiday during some important festivals.
B: Not yet, I think. For example, many young people celebrate western Valentine’s Day on Feb 14 but not on July 7 in a Chinese way. To carry forward our traditional culture, to my mind, the government should give us at least one day off to celebrate each festival and we may invite foreigners to take part in our festivals and let them enjoy themselves and learn the origin of the festivals so as to make them learn more about Chinese culture. The most important is that we should pay more attention to the education of the children to teach them love our country, love our own culture.

1037. D 本文主要讲怎样让孩子自主学习(模仿,纠错等),A答案理解错误;C答案不够全面;B答案则意为对孩子“放任自流”,这也不是文中作者的态度,因为文章最后一句话提到 “Our job should be to help ….”
●IV书面表达 (a sample)
Christmas is always one of the most important festivals people in western countries look forward to. It takes place on December 25th every year, when most of the places were covered with thick snow. The origin of it comes from a boy from a rich family, who wanted to help the poor without wanting to be known. He threw the money from the chimney at night when everybody else was asleep so that nobody would recognize him.
Now, people celebrate it in many ways. They will send Christmas cards to each other, decorate the house with Christmas trees, hold a Christmas party when they’ll dance to Christmas songs and have a lot of fun. Children will find a present the next morning from Father Christmas who in fact is their parents. In a word, it’s really a carnival, to everyone.

Humans have been creating numerous festivals since humans themselves were created. What the Spring Festival in China and the Christmas Day in the west have in common is that during the festival families dress up and gather to celebrate the New Year and have fun with each other. Most people look forward to April Fools’ Day when they can play a trick on anyone and needn’t keep their word without punishment. Each nation has its national day in memory of gaining independence. It’s a custom of many countries to honor their own ancestors on the Day of the Dead. Children do what they can including daily housework to satisfy their parents on Mothers’ Day and Fathers’ Day. People also set up a day for a great person they admire such as Martin Lurther King, Qu Yuan. Someone says it does certain harm to our life if more and more festivals continue to take place. It’s hard to say whether it’s really so. But I do believe creating festivals leads to a better future.
