Whether you admit it or not, people’s love for Christmas Jumper(毛衣) around Christmas has increased over recent years. And while you may be less willing to get involved in the Christmas jumper trend, Christmas Jumper Day now enables you to do more with your jumper than build up sweat in an incredibly warm office.
The origin of the Christmas jumper can date back to the late 19th century in the USA. Americans in the 1930s knitted(编织) for Christmas to create an item of clothing to keep them “warm” during the Great Depression when people led a poor and miserable life. They copied the jumpers they saw their favorite stars wearing on the big screen. From the 1950s, it was common to see American families wearing festive jumpers as they sat down to eat their Christmas dinner.
Now, alongside wearing a festive jumper for the fun of it, there are other positive outcomes. Christmas Jumper Day has been set up to stimulate people to make the world better and raise funds for Save the Children by wearing a Christmas jumper and making a minimum donation of￡1. Ladbrokes, a company in the UK, is running a competition in which all you have to do is to take a selfie(自拍) outside of one of their shops while wearing a jumper—the winner will win a good prize and for every submission. Ladbrokes will donate￡5 to St. Luke’s Hospice charity. For you, it’s a win-win situation.
If you’re still unconvinced that it’s about time you bought yourself a Christmas jumper, then maybe the fact that Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Snoop Dogg have all been spotted wearing Christmas jumpers will raise your enthusiasm. Retailer(零售商) such as Topshop, Burberry and H&M have also become devoted to Christmas Jumper Day and have their very own types of Christmas jumpers.
25. Which statement is true according to paragraph 1?
A. Wearing Christmas jumpers in the office has been a trend.
B. Wearing Christmas jumpers can make you incredibly warm.
C. Christmas jumpers have gained huge popularity.
D. Christmas jumpers serve many functions.
26. For what reason did Americans in the 1930s make Christmas jumpers?
A. To protect them from cold weather. B. To lift their spirits.
C. To follow the stars. D. To form a tradition.
27. The underlined word “stimulate” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by _________.
A. demand B. advise C. encourage D. persuade
28. Why does the author mention Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and Snoop Dogg?
A. To ask people to donate Christmas jumpers.
B. To show the importance of Christmas Jumper Day.
C. To prove Christmas jumpers are popular among stars.
D. To persuade readers to buy a Christmas jumper.

To make things 39 , some people would rather just give money. In some cultures, however, 40 money can make people uncomfortable. “When someone gives me money, it just makes me think they’re being lazy,” says John Wilson. “In England, we have a saying: It’s the thought that 41 . When someone gives me money, I feel they don’t think it about at all. I prefer to receive a gift 42 has some thought behind it.”

英 语 （二）
（本卷满分100分）
一、阅读理解（每小题2分，共16分）
A
Mexico takes the third place in the most-attended carnival celebrations behind Rio de Janerio in Brazil and New Orleans in the US. While carnival is celebrated in Mexico in all major cities, the celebration in Mazatlan is the most expected.
Every year, over 300,000 people attend the carnival celebration in Mazatlan in Mexico. It is a popular destination for carnival festivities along with other Mexico’s famous port cities like Veracurz, Ensenada, and La Paz. If you’re planning to visit Mexico to observe this famous celebration, it is advisable to book months before the actual date as boarding and lodging(食宿费) rise sharply during the holidays.
People from all walks of life actually participate in this yearly festive celebration. It has become a part of people’s way of life both for Catholics(天主教徒) or non-Catholics. People in the US celebrating this tradition and some parts of South America throw confetti eggs(五彩蛋) to one another as part of the tradition’s practice. This is believed to bring good luck to the person who’s hit by it.
Besides the above activities, masquerade(化妆) balls and rides that charge entrance fees are available. In the evening, a grand firework display awaits audience and participants.
During the last day of the celebration, South American countries such as Mexico conduct cultural awards including poetry contest and so on. The Clemencia Isaura Poetry recognizes and awards the person with the best unpublished work in Mexico.
If you are a partygoer and looking for the best event to be at..., then this is the best party celebration you should participate in. South American countries are the best place to be at for this type of celebration including New Orleans in the US.
1. _______ is the first place in the most-attended carnival celebrations.
A. Mexico. B. Rio de Janerio C. New Orleans. D. Sao Paulo.
2. If you plan to see the carnival celebration in Mazatlan, you’d better _______ .
A. reach there by plane. B. bring more money with yourself.

3. In Paragraph 3, the underlined part “people from all walks of life” means people _______.

C. Masquerade balls. D. A grand firework display.
B
My first week in the United States was a cultural shock. Everything felt new to me, including the style of conversation, the community I lived in and even the type of food people ate.
In our community back home, people eat mutton and chicken. Pork and beef are also common among other communities, but eating beef is taken as an illegal act. Unlike Nepal, eating beef is common in the West where most of the people follow religions other than Hinduism.
Food is just an example. When people move from one part of the world to another, they should adapt(适应) themselves to the new culture. For example, going to the bars or getting drunk is not acceptable in my community, but it is common in the US after a certain age.
I was raised in a traditional Hindu family in Nepal. We have a conservative(保守的) opinion towards marriage. Arranged marriages(包办婚姻) are common in which families decide whether the two should get married. Free love marriages are not allowed and are seldom seen. Same-sex marriage is also considered impossible.
To me, culture is a matter of habit. The culture is so deep-rooted in people’s minds that most people are against changes. It is always easy for them to do what they have been doing throughout their life. It may be difficult for anyone to adapt to a new culture.
However, with travel being an unavoidable thing for modern people, one always comes across different cultures. In such cases, one should be respectful and adaptive to the culture other people follow. The world is always a better place to live in when we have spaces for people of all cultures.
5. What does the Nepal law forbid people to eat?
A. Pork. B. Beef. C. Chicken. D. Mutton.
6. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Most westerners believe in Hinduism.
B. Getting drunk in Nepal is acceptable.
C. Anyone can enter the bars in the US.
D. The writer came across a cultural shock.
7. Which may be seen most in Nepal?
A. Open marriages. B. Free love marriages.
C. Same-sex marriage. D. Arranged marriages.
8. What is the writer’s attitude to different cultures?
A. Negative. B. Respectful. C. Conservative. D. Indifferent.
二、七选五（每小题2分，共10分）
Table Manners
We all like to think we have good table manners, but what you consider proper table manners may actually be considered rude in another country! Let’s explore some strange table manners around the world.
Most people believe that it is bad manners to slurp(出声地吃或喝) or hold your soup bowl up to your mouth. 9 Slurping in Japan is an indication that the food is good. Therefore, in Japan, slurping is considered polite.
10 In some cultures, finishing all the food on your plate is a sign that your host did not provide you with enough food. Filipinos, Koreans and Thais will all think like this. In many cases your host will continue to serve you each time you clear your plate. For Japanese people, however, finishing all the food on one’s plate is a sign to the host that the meal is delicious and that you appreciate the meal.
11 This is a belief in many Asian countries, including Thailand, Japan and China. It’s considered taboo(禁忌) because during funerals(丧礼), bowls of rice with chopsticks sticking in them are offered to the dead
Don’t cut your salad with a knife in France. Proper etiquette(礼节) in France when eating a salad to fold the salad leaves onto your fork if they are too big to put in your mouth. You should never cut your salad with a knife. 12
Pay attention to forks. Have you ever been to a fancy western restaurant, not sure which fork to use?
13 In Thai culture the proper way to enjoy Thai food is with a spoon in your right hand and a fork in your left. Some countries don’t even use forks but rather eat with their hands, like India, Nepal and Pakistan.
A. That isn’t true in Japan.
B. It’s the one furthest from your plate.
C. You must finish the food on your plate.
D. Should you finish all the food on your plate?
E. You may use your fork to eat something like fruit.
F. Never leave your chopsticks sticking in a bowl of rice.
G. This rule is taught to many French children from an early age.

【答案】9-13 ADFGB
这是一篇说明文。主要说明了世界各地的一些奇怪的餐桌礼仪。
9.空前一句Most people believe that it is bad manners to slurp or hold your soup bowl up to your mouth说的是很多人认为出声喝汤是坏习惯，空后Slurping in Japan is an indication that the food is good. Therefore, in Japan, slurping is considered polite.说的是在日本出声喝汤是在表示食物的味道好。因此，在日本这样做是礼貌的行为。A项可以承上启下，说明日本的情况与前面所说国家的情况不同。故选A。
10.第三段说的是在有些国家，吃光盘子里的食物意味着没吃饱，而在另一些国家这样做则表示你用餐完毕，并且对食物很满意。故本段主要讨论的是是否要吃光自己盘子里的食物。故选D。
11.由下文This is a belief in many Asian countries, including Thailand, Japan and China.可知在很多亚洲国家自己用的筷子插在米饭上是一种禁忌。所以F项：Never leave your chopsticks sticking in a bowl of rice（永远不要把筷子插在米饭里）符合语境。故选F。
12.根据上文You should never cut your salad with a knife（你不应该用刀切沙拉）可知主要说的是在法国不要用刀子切沙拉。G选项中的This rule指不用刀切沙拉这条规则。即很多法国的孩子很小就学了这个礼仪。故选G。
13.上一句Have you ever been to a fancy western restaurant, not sure which fork to use?（你是否有过去一家高档的西餐厅用餐却不知道该用哪把叉子的经历？）可知是在询问是不是不知道用哪个叉子，故下文应当回答用哪个叉子。所以B项符合语境。

本文是一篇说明文。文章向我们介绍了有关筷子的历史和文化。
34.考查一般过去时被动语态。句意：他们在中国古代被称为“箸”。主语和谓语之间是被动关系，又因为本句讲述的是过去的事情，故填were called。
35.考查非限制性定语从句。句意：木筷或竹筷是中国家庭使用最普遍的筷子，比象牙筷要早1000年左右。根据句子结构可知，该空是非限制性定语从句的关系词，关系词在定语从句中作主语，指物，故填which。
36.考查副词比较级。句意：木筷或竹筷是中国家庭使用最普遍的筷子，比象牙筷要早1000年左右。根据本句中的than，此空填形容词的比较级，故填earlier。

41.考查一般现在时或一般将来时。句意：如果您想的话，我们也会提供筷子。主语和谓语之间是被动关系，且该动作可以是通常性的动作，也可以是将来某一时间的动作。If引导的条件状语从句，主句将来时，从句一般现在时。故填is/will be。
42.考查副词做状语。句意：另外，不要因为不会用筷子而感到尴尬。副词修饰动词，故填poorly。
