(2019·周口高二检测)
Since the 800's，November 1st is a holiday known as All Saints' Day. The evening before is known as All Hallowe'en or Halloween. During the festival，poor people would beg for food and families would give them “soul cakes” in return for their promise to pray for the family's dead relatives.
Halloween，however，has a special meaning for children today，who dress in funny or ghostly clothes and knock at neighborhood doors shouting “Trick or Treat！” Princesses，ghosts and witches all hold bags open to catch the candies or cakes that the neighbors drop in.
Today school dances and neighborhood parties called “block parties” are popular among young and old. They dress up as historical or political figures and go to costume parties. Teenagers enjoy costume dances at their schools and the more outrageous_the costume is the better it is!
Certain tricks such as soaping car windows and knocking at the neighbors' windows are expected. But parties and tricks are not the only things that Halloweeners enjoy doing. Some collect money to buy food and medicine for poor children around the world.
Halloween began as a celebration concerned with bad spirits. Black is one of the traditional Halloween colors，probably because Halloween festivals and traditions take place at night. Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween. Carving pumpkins into Jack-o'-lanterns is a Halloween custom originating in Ireland. When the Irish brought their customs to the United States，they carved faces on pumpkins instead of turnips (蔓菁)because in the autumn pumpkins were more plentiful than turnips. Today Jack-o'-lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there are candies waiting if they knock and say “Trick or Treat！”
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了万圣节的起源，风俗习惯及发展变化。
1．According to the passage，which of the following statements about Halloween is TRUE?
A．People celebrate Halloween to honor the ancestors.
B．Only children can enjoy themselves on Halloween.
C．People use beautiful flowers to decorate their houses during the holiday.
D．Over the years，there have been some changes in Halloween traditions.
解析：选D 正误判断题。根据上下文，我们可以看出，万圣节的风俗已经有了变化。
2．The “Princesses，ghosts and witches” in Paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A．people exiting in the imagination of children
B．the grown-ups dressing up to please children
C．the children dressing up on this special holiday
D．the actors or actresses invited to celebrate the holiday
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二段可知，Princesses，ghosts and witches指打扮成这些形象的孩子们。
3．According to the passage，why did Irish choose pumpkins instead of turnips?
A．Because pumpkins were much cheaper.
B．Because pumpkins were suitable to make lanterns.
C．Because there were more pumpkins in autumn.
D．Because Irish people wanted to make some change.
解析：选C 细节理解题。由第五段中的 “...because in the autumn pumpkins were more plentiful than turnips. ”可知，爱尔兰人用南瓜做灯笼是因为秋天南瓜比蔓菁多。
4．What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “outrageous” in the third paragraph?
A．Attractive. B．Unusual.
C．Funny. D．Expensive.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据上下文可以猜出，谁的衣服越不寻常就越好。因此该词的大意为 “离奇，跟别人的不一样”，即 “不寻常”。

It's carnival season in Europe，a crazy time for parades，masks，music and dance. No one is sure where the tradition exactly comes from. But while its origin remains a mystery，this does not keep people from joining it.
The Carnival of Binche，the most famous one that is staged in Belgium，has been announced as a masterpiece of the Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. The event usually takes place during a Sunday，Monday，and Tuesday，with performers known as “Gilles” dressed in clown-like costumes，dancing and marching (行进)along the streets. During the parade，the Gilles throw oranges to the crowd as an act of well-wishing and it is considered rude to throw them back.
Venice is said to be the birthplace of carnivals. In the city，the annual carnival starts 58 days before Easter. It features various brightly-colored and well-made masks. Every year，thousands of visitors go to the city to be part of the festive event.
The Germans，always considered serious-minded，also have their carnivals. The Cologne Carnival is one of the largest，with Rose Monday as the best part. On Rose Monday Parade，lots of gifts are prepared for the people who join it. For this year, 300 tons of candies and more than 300, 000 souvenirs were thrown out of the various nicely-decorated floats (花车)to the crowd.
The Nice Carnival in the southern French city of Nice lasts two or three weeks from February to March every year. It features floats，music，dance performances and entertainment activities. The parade of lights and the final day carnival parade are the most exciting parts of the entire event. Compared to the Rio Carnival in Brazil and the Winter Carnival in Quebec，Canada，the Nice Carnival has a special artistic touch，and it is one of the three major carnivals around the world.
Carnivals were first organized in the Middle Ages. They were supposed to be a time of eating and drinking before the Easter fast (斋戒)．Nowadays，they have been turned into winter tourism attractions for many European cities.

When I was a boy we used to live across the road from a big hill with huge oak trees growing out of it. When winter arrived, thick and heavy snow would fall, and my two brothers would grab their sleds heading over to the hill for a day of fun. I remember watching them with envy because I was still too small to go sledding. Finally, one winter I was considered big enough and joined my brothers as they carried their sleds up the long hill and prepared to ride down it.
The first few trips I rode with one of my brothers had the time of my life. It was so exhilarating when the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled. Near the end of the day I was too overjoyed when my oldest brother decided to let me try riding the sled all by myself. I climbed on it full of excitement and lay on my stomach. Then with one big push my brother sent me down the snowy hillside. I was doing pretty well too until I hit an old stump hidden by the snow and went off course，straight towards one of those big oak trees. My heart pounded in my chest and I could hear myself screaming. At the last possible second I rolled off and the sled crashed into the tree. I could hear my brothers running down the hill yelling, “You have to steer(操控)！You have to steer！”
Sadly, that wasn't the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle knocked me off course in my life. Many times problems，troubles, and my own failures have sent me crashing into the trees of anger，frustration, and despair. I am still learning that life isn't always safe sledding. I am still learning that it is up to me to steer myself back to love, back to kindness，back to goodness，and back to God.
Life is a trip, but no one ever said it was a smooth ride. Steer well then. Steer straight. Steer your soul towards the light and the love that are all meant for us.
【解题导语】 作者小时候有一次滑雪时差点撞到橡树上，但在最后一刻，作者翻滚到雪地里才得以化险为夷，同时他学到了一个人生道理：学会自我掌控。

A．He lived on a big hill with huge oak trees on it.
B．He was frightened to go sledding with his brothers.
C．He longed to go sledding with his brothers.
D. He carried his brothers' sleds as they went sledding.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句 “I remember watching them with envy because I was still too small to go sledding. ”可知，作者因为年龄太小不能去滑雪，只能嫉妒地看着哥哥们玩。据此可知，作者小时候很渴望和哥哥们一起滑雪，故C项正确。

A．delightful B．terrifying

7．Why did the author fall off his sled?
A．Because his sled crashed into an oak tree.
B．Because he lost control of his sled.
C．Because his brother pushed it so hard.
D. Because the hillside was snowy.

8．What does the author mean to tell us?
A．Losing control of a sled can be dangerous.
B．Courage and determination can change one's life.
C．Life can be controlled by oneself.
D．Life is a mystery full of coincidences.

Ⅳ. 七选五
How Not to Be Awkward
Not all of us are outgoing and ready to take the world by storm. __1__ This usually happens when a person is still in his or her teen years and going through the socialization (社会化)process. So，what can a person do to overcome this tendency to be awkward？Let's try to find answers to the question.
Stay in shape and dress up well
Sometimes，awkwardness could be due to being overweight. When you are large in size，you tend to get very self-conscious. So，in order to avoid this，get into the habit of exercising every day. __2__ If you look as if you have just stepped out of a 1980's film when actually it is 2017，there is no doubt that you are bound to feel awkward about yourself.
Be optimistic
Another effective tip on how not to feel awkward is to always keep a smile on your face. __3__ On the other hand，a smiling，happy and positive person is appreciated by everybody. So，smile when you meet acquaintances or even strangers，say a cheerful “Hi！” and automatically some of your awkwardness will disappear completely!
Participate in team activities
This one really helps. Awkwardness generally develops when a person remains isolated from others. So in order to change this situation，join groups. __4__ Joining people for book reading as well as debates will help remove your awkwardness. Choose any activity that you like，such as playing team sports or joining a dance class，and soon you will find your comfort level around people increasing day by day!
Develop your personality
Being a bookworm or an Internet addict will not get you anywhere. For self-improvement, take up a hobby that adds meaning to your life. Learn singing or try adventure sports. __5__
A．Learn how to end a conversation.
B．Secondly，have appropriate clothes on.
C．For instance，if you are a reading-lover，join a book club.
D．If you look sad，nobody will actually like being with you.
E．Something as simple as listening to music will do wonders too.
F．Many of us are shy and may even feel isolated from others.
G．Awkwardness could arise because you do not have anything in common to talk about.
【解题导语】 本文介绍了在社交中如何不尴尬的方法：保持体形并穿着得体、乐观、参与团体活动、培养个性。
1．解析：选F 上一句 “Not all of us are outgoing and ready to take the world by storm. ”意为：并不是我们所有人都是外向且准备好在这个世界上大获成功的。因此此处应进一步说明这种情况，故选F(我们当中有许多人是害羞的甚至可能感到与他人隔绝)。
2．解析：选B 该段的小标题表示 “保持体形以及穿着得体”，又因该空前面三句已经具体叙述保持体形的原因及方式，因此此处应叙述另一方面：穿着得体，故选B。
3．解析：选D 结合下一句 “On the other hand，a smiling，happy and positive person is appreciated by everybody. ”可知，此处应叙述与这句话相反的情况，故选D。
4．解析：选C 结合上一句 “So in order to change this situation，join groups. ”可知，此处应举例说明，故选C。
5．解析：选E 结合上文中的 “For self-improvement，take up a hobby that adds meaning to your life. Learn singing or try adventure sports. ”可知，E项 “Something as simple as listening to music will do wonders too. ”与上文存在逻辑上的衔接，故选E。

People in the United States honour their parents with two special days：Mother's Day，on the second Sunday in May，and Father's Day，on the third Sunday in June.
Mother's Day was proclaimed a day for national observance by President Woodrow Wilson in 1914. Anna Jarvis from Grafton，West Virginia，had started the idea to have a day to honour mothers. She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation.
In 1909，Mrs. Dodd from Spokane，Washington，thought of the idea of a day to honour fathers. She wanted to honour her own father，William Smart. After her mother died，he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910，the first Father's Day was observed in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to establish Father's Day as a national commemorative day，in 1972.
These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honour parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home，as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了母亲节和父亲节的来历。
1．According to the passage，which of the following about the second Sunday in May is NOT true?
A．It is a day to show love to mothers.
B．It is a day to wear carnations.
C．It is a day for people to visit the cemetery.
D．It is a day for many people to attend religious services.
解析：选C 细节理解题。C选项的说法不够准确。五月的第二个周日是母亲节，在这一天有些父母去世的人会去墓地祭拜父母。故选C项。
2．Choose the right time order of the following events.
a．The first Father's Day was observed.
b．Mother's Day was proclaimed a day for national observance.
c．Father's Day became a day for national observance.
d．The idea of honouring fathers was brought up.
A．a-b-c-d B．d-a-b-c
C．b-a-c-d D．d-a-c-b
解析：选B 细节理解题。可根据第二段及第三段关于母亲节及父亲节形成的先后顺序来判断。
3．From the passage，we know in the U．S. ________.
A．one should wear a red carnation if one's mother passed away
B．on Mother's Day，families often go out to have barbecues
C．on Father's Day，people often stay at home to celebrate the special day
D．the purpose to have these two special days is to show love to parents

B
When I was about ten years old, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee, and I knew I could see Mr. Lee any time around the neighborhood, so I didn't pay any attention to him. After we passed Mr. Lee, my mother stopped me and said something that has stuck with me from that day until now. She said, “You let that be the last time you've ever walked by somebody and not opened up your mouth to speak, because even a dog will wag its tail when it passes you on the street. ” Mother's words sound simple, but it's been a guidepost for me and the foundation of who I am.
It's not just something I believe in；it's become a way of life. I believe that every person deserves to feel someone acknowledge their presence, no matter how humble (卑鄙的)they may be.
At work, I always said hello to the founder of the company and asked him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people who cleaned the buildings and asked how their children were doing. After a few years of greeting the founder, I had the courage to ask him for a meeting. We had a great talk. At a certain point I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company. He said, “If you want to, you can get all the way to this seat. ”
I've become vice-president, but that hasn't changed the way I approach people. I still follow my mother's advice. I speak to everyone I see, no matter where I am. I've learned that speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it allows them to come into mine, too.

A．He played a joke. B．He inspired him.

Long before Mia Jones could say a word, she has been speaking to her parents. How can she manage to do this？?Mia used her hands to talk with her deaf parents.
Mia has a brother. ??Though both children can speak, their parents are deaf. Therefore, sign language has become an important way for them to communicate.
They can talk with friends by speech and then use sign language to talk with their parents. This made them become the masters of two languages. And they are not the only ones. Many deaf parents found that teaching sign language to young children is good. Before they are able to say words correctly, many of them can use their hands to communicate with their parents.

One of the traditions which are now a necessary part of Christmas is that of Father Christmas, or Santa Claus. According to the modern legend, he is a magical figure who visits all the children of the world during the night before Christmas Day, leaving presents which they find the next morning. He flies through the night sky in a sledge pulled by reindeer, and enters houses by climbing down chimneys. This strange legend is based on the life of a man called Nicholas, but in fact we know very little about him. Historians think he was a Christian bishop(主教)in Turkey in about 285～350 A.D. One of the stories about him is that he helped three poor girls. No one would marry them because they were so poor. To provide them with money for their weddings, Nicholas secretly dropped some gold coins down the chimney of their house. After Nicholas died, he was made a saint(圣人)by the church. The name Santa Claus thus comes from St Nicholas. His feast day was celebrated in December, and parents started giving their children secret presents from St Nicholas. Over the years, this custom became part of our Christmas traditions.
Recently, a psychologist has claimed that Father Christmas is the perfect fantasy for children. According to Professor Anthony Clare, children love the character of Father Christmas because he is like an ideal father: he loves children and gives them presents, but he never criticizes them, is never angry, and children do not even need to thank him for the presents. Other writers, however, point out that Father Christmas can be a frightening character to some children. Jane Bidder says that some children are terrified of this fat, bearded old man. It can certainly confuse many children. As parents, we warn our children to be careful of strangers and never let them into the house, and yet we tell children that a strange man will come into their bedroom at night！Some children can become very worried about this idea and fear that he is a kind of burglar.
Most children, however, understand from their parents and from the media that Father Christmas is basically a benign character, and look forward to his annual visit with joy and excitement.

Online learning is now becoming very popular around the world. As we know，it allows people to learn at home and people can learn the courses from anywhere in the world. Anyone who wants to learn something can enroll (注册)into a good school offering online courses and complete their education. Besides being convenient，there is no age limit；one can take a course anytime and at any point in their career.
Online learning also means that people have more time for their own life while continuing their education. They are able to learn when it's convenient for them，and in many cases the courses can be completed in less time than at a traditional school. People can go to work during the day and finish their homework at night. Parents can spend time with their children and then complete online classes when their children are in school or asleep. Since people don't have to take part in any classroom activities，it does not do any harm to their lives. They can work and learn at any time of the day and at their own speed.
Many people find that online courses are less expensive than traditional ones. Classroom teaching is usually expensive and not suitable for a lot of people. Through online learning，one can save a lot. People don't have to spend more money on traveling，staying in hotels or eating in restaurants. Online courses are a good choice for those who are short of money but want to learn something and improve themselves. According to the US Department of Education，students learning online have not only saved a lot of money but also performed better than those learning in traditional schools.
Of course，online learning requires a regimented lifestyle and the ability to learn on one's own. For people who are not strict with themselves，online learning can be a real challenge. For busy people who take online classes，time management can be a challenge. They have to decide for themselves when to work on class tasks and how long they will need in order to finish the work. So，people must think about all of these things before making a choice.

We all have four to six dreams per night. But why do some people seem to remember their dreams while others don't?
People who report that they have good dream recollection are more likely，than others who don't，to have been woken up during a stage of sleep referred to as REM(rapid eye movement)．This is the stage of sleep where dreams occur，and if you're woken up during it you may recall the dream you were having more readily.
Light sleepers who are woken up very easily by the slightest sound tend to report having many more dreams they can remember than heavy sleepers who can nod off during thunder and lightning and do not know they've been dreaming at all. Therefore one way to remember your dreams is to set an alarm to go off frequently during the night，as you'll have more chances of waking during REM sleep. However，doing this exercise regularly will be bad for your sleeping pattern，and may mess with your body clock.
Interestingly，some people have the ability to dream to order，to a degree. If they focus on thinking about remembering their dreams，get a dream journal ready to write in and place it by their bed at night and tell themselves they will write down their dreams upon waking，they're more likely to actually produce a memorable dream.
Studies have shown us that during dreams we often play out different scenarios (情节)and our brains work out how to deal with them，should they actually occur in waking life. Thus，if you dreamed you lost your car keys and needed to find another way of getting to your destination，this could just be your mind working out what you would do in the future if this happened to you. The reason why people don't always remember dreams is that it would interfere (干扰)with waking life. An overload of information which may not be necessary could confuse your daily thinking，and lead you to perform less well. However，storing information away in your mental filing system located in your subconscious (潜意识)，in case you ever need it，is far more efficient.
【解题导语】 人每晚都会做四到六个梦，但为什么我们经常会忘记这些梦的内容呢？本文分析了其原因。
32．What can we learn about REM?
A．Sleepers are hard to wake up during REM sleep.
B．People who can't remember their dreams don't have REM sleep.
C．Both light sleepers and heavy sleepers can experience REM sleep.
D．People who are woken up during REM sleep will forget their dreams.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第二、三段内容可知，当人们在REM(快速眼动)睡眠阶段被叫醒时会记住梦的内容，因而觉轻的人比觉重的人更容易回忆起梦境。由此可推断出二者都会经历REM阶段。
33．Which group of people are most likely to forget their dreams?
A. People who are ready to write a dream journal.
B．People who desire to find a solution in their dreams.
C．People who set an alarm to go off frequently during the night.
D．People who are hard to be disturbed by surrounding sounds during sleep.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第三段 “Therefore one way to remember your dreams is to set an alarm to go off frequently during the night，as you'll have more chances of waking during REM sleep. ”可排除C项；根据第四段 “If they focus on thinking about remembering their dreams...they're more likely to actually produce a memorable dream. ”可知，当人们有意识地想要记住梦境时，通常能如愿，可排除A、B两项；而睡觉时不易被周围声音打扰的人，很少有可能在REM阶段醒来，因而更易忘记梦境。
34．From the last sentence，we can infer that ________.
A. effective ways need to be developed to fully make use of our dreams
B．people who regularly forget their dreams will never know their mind well
C．scientists will give us much deeper explanations for what our dreams mean
D．those forgotten dreams are stored in our brain and will be remembered if needed
解析：选D 推理判断题。上文讲到人脑储存太多信息是有害的，因此人们选择性地遗忘一些梦境。根据 “However”一词可推测出下文要表达的是，这些被遗忘的梦境不是真的消失了。这些梦境被转存到人的潜意识当中，当人们需要时还是会浮现出来并发挥作用。因此，被遗忘的梦境仍储存在人的大脑中，当需要时会被记起。
35．The passage mainly discusses ________.
A．how important dreams are to health
B．the reason why people forget their dreams
C．the relationship between one's dream and sleep
D．different stages of sleep and people's changes in each one
解析：选B 主旨大意题。根据文章首段可知，本文主要向读者解释了人们为什么会忘记梦的内容。

【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者在北京居住时，发现中秋节前，尽管很少吃月饼，但人们仍喜欢买月饼送人。回到纽约后，作者发现纽约的中国人也这样做。作者由此发出感慨：似乎中国文化在适应变化中的环境时能被保存下来。
61．解析：考查介词。中国的中秋节和秋天没有或者说至少几乎没有一点关系。它是关于休息和似乎很少有人吃但是人们仍然互相赠送礼物 “月饼”的一个节日。have nothing/something to do with... “和……无关/有关”，是固定搭配。
答案：with
62．解析：考查动词的时态。当我搬到中国的首都北京时，我了解了关于月饼的一些情况。主从句的动作几乎是同时发生的，从句用了一般过去时，故主句也用一般过去时。
答案：learned/learnt
63．解析：考查形容词。空处作表语，且意为 “气氛热闹的，熙熙攘攘的”，故用形容词lively。
答案：lively
64．解析：考查非谓语动词。每个杂货店似乎都排着队，队伍中满是拿着月饼向柜台走去的人。分析句子结构可知，people后是非谓语动词作定语，people与carry之间是主谓关系，且此处表示动作正在进行，故用现在分词作定语。
答案：carrying
65．解析：考查冠词。the majority of是固定搭配，意为“……中的大多数”，故填the。
答案：the
66．解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，“66._______ (regard) as gifts”作状语，根据固定搭配be regarded as “被视为……”和they(指代mooncakes)与regard之间的动宾关系可知，此处应该用过去分词作状语。
答案：regarded
67．解析：考查名词。根据空前的any public和空后的of可知，空处应该填名词celebration(s) “庆祝活动”。
答案：celebration(s)
68．解析：考查副词。此处表示 “至少在这个城市有大量中国人的社区”。空处修饰形容词Chinese，且表示 “大量地，在很大程度上”，故用副词heavily。
答案：heavily
69．解析：考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是Brooklyn's Chinatown，表示地点，关系词在从句中作地点状语，故用where。
答案：where
70．解析：考查动词的语态。似乎中国文化在适应变化中的环境时能被保存下来。preserve “保存，保留”，是及物动词，故此处用被动语态。
答案：be preserved

One possible version:
Dear Tom,
Thank you for your letter. You have said you want to know something about Chinese festivals. And now I'd like to talk about the Lantern Festival.
The Lantern Festival is on the fifteenth day after the Chinese lunar New Year. It can date back to the Han Dynasty. And in the Qing Dynasty, it developed to be the largest one. There are quite a lot of traditions for this day. On this festival, we Chinese often enjoy lanterns, eating yuanxiao and row land boats, etc.
As a traditional festival, it has profound meaning in China. It is the first day when the moon is full round in the Chinese lunar calendar, and it's also the beginning of the year when spring starts. By celebrating the festival, people also celebrate the lasting of the New Year.
Lovely Yours,
Li Hua
