Ⅰ.七选五
Easter
is
a
very
popular
holiday
in
Christian
countries.
__1__
Easter
is
a
“movable”
holiday,
as
it
is
celebrated
on
the
first
Sunday
following
the
full
moon
after
the
vernal
equinox
(春分)．
Easter
is
known
mostly
as
a
Christian
holiday.
__2__
The
holiday
was
first
meant
to
celebrate
the
coming
of
spring
and
to
welcome
the
birth
of
plants,
animals
and
all
the
bright
flowers.
__3__
Then
later
the
eggs
were
given
as
gifts.
Sometimes
the
eggs
were
exchanged
by
lovers.
Giving
special
eggs
to
those
that
they
love
is
very
similar
to
giving
presents
on
Valentine's
Day.
Most
countries
celebrate
Easter
by
decorating
eggs,
getting
together
with
family,
eating
chocolate
and
sweets
and
playing
egg
hunts.
Many
children
enjoy
Easter
because
of
egg
hunts.
__4__
Then
the
children
run
around
searching
for
them.
The
most
famous
egg
hunt
is
done
every
year
on
the
lawn
(草坪)
of
the
White
House
in
Washington
DC.
For
many
children,
Easter
and
the
Easter
Bunny
are
second
in
popularity
only
to
Christmas
and
Santa
Claus.
The
Easter
Bunny,
a
young
rabbit,
is
a
character
that
represents
everything
wonderful
for
spring:
life
and
playfulness.
The
Easter
Bunny
first
came
from
Germany
and
was
brought
to
North
America
later.
__5__
There
are
even
Easter
Bunnies
made
of
chocolate!
A．It's
a
very
popular
character
for
Easter.
B．It's
a
holiday
to
celebrate
Jesus
Christ's
return
to
life.
C．Others
have
hidden
eggs
around
the
house,
or
outside.
D．During
Easter
in
Germany,
a
lamb
is
a
popular
symbol.
E．The
most
interesting
part
of
the
holiday
is
looking
for
eggs.
F．The
practice
of
painting
eggs
was
first
done
to
represent
the
coming
of
spring.
G．However,
many
celebrations
during
this
time
have
nothing
to
do
with
Christianity.
1．B 解析：此句与前后句Easter
is
a
very
popular
holiday...和Easter
is
a
“movable”
holiday...并列，总述复活节。
2．G 解析：此句与前句中a
Christian
holiday形成对照，表转折。
3．F 解析：F项中first与下句中Then相对应，表示先后关系。
4．C 解析：前句提到Many
children
enjoy
Easter
because
of
eggs
hunts，故本句应是Others
have
hidden
eggs...并与下一句Then
the
children
run
around
searching
for
them相连接。
5．A 解析：此段讲述the
Easter
Bunny，该句说明它是复活节的一个受欢迎的角色。
Ⅱ.话题写作
翻译或完成下列句子，注意黑体部分要用到本单元的单词、短语或句型，然后将其合并成一篇短文。
1．儿童节是在每年的6月1日。

Day
takes
place

every
year.
2．孩子们盼望着这一天的到来。
The
children
are
looking
forward

school
very
early
on

Day
of
this

4．他们屏息观看精彩的表演。

breath
to

5．很明显他们玩得很高兴。

was
obvious

will
remind
them
of
their
happy
childhood.

Festivals
around
the
world
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Food
festivals
around
the
world
Stilton
Cheese
Rolling
May
Day
is
a
traditional
day
for
celebrations,
but
the
2,000
English
villagers
of
Stilton
must
be
the
only
people
in
the
world
who
include
cheese
rolling
in
their
annual
plans.
Teams
of
four,
dressed
in
a
variety
of
strange
and
funny
clothes,
roll
a
complete
cheese
along
a
50?metre
course.
On
the
way,
they
must
not
kick
or
throw
their
cheese,
or
go
into
their
competitors'
lane
(赛道).
Competition
is
fierce
and
the
chief
prize
is
a
complete
Stilton
cheese
weighing
about
four
kilos
(disappointingly,
but
understandably
the
cheeses
used
in
the
race
are
wooden
ones).
All
the
competitors
are
served
with
beer
or
port
wine,
the
traditional
accompaniment
for
Stilton
cheese.
Fiery
Foods
Festival—The
Hottest
Festival
on
Earth
Every
year
more
than
10,000
people
head
for
the
city
of
Albuquerque,
New
Mexico.
They
come
from
as
far
away
as
Australia,
the
Caribbean
and
China,
but
they
all
share
a
common
addiction—food
that
is
not
just
spicy
(辛辣),
but
hot
enough
to
make
your
mouth
burn,
your
head
spin
and
your
eyes
water.
Their
destination
is
the
Fiery
Food
and
BBQ
Festival
which
is
held
over
a
period
of
three
days
every
March.
You
might
like
to
try
a
chocolate?covered
habanero
pepper—officially
the
hottest
pepper
in
the
world—or
any
one
of
the
thousands
of
products
that
are
on
show.
But
one
thing's
for
sure—if
you
don't
like
the
feeling
of
a
burning
tongue,
this
festival
isn't
for
you!
La
Tomatina—The
World's
Biggest
Food
Fight
On
the
last
Wednesday
of
every
August,
the
Spanish
town
of
Bunol
hosts
La
Tomatina—the
world's
largest
food
fight.
A
week?long
celebration
leads
up
to
an
exciting
tomato
battle
as
the
highlight
of
the
week's
events.
The
early
morning
sees
the
arrival
of
large
trucks
with
tomatoes—official
fight?starters
get
things
going
by
casting
tomatoes
at
the
crowd.
The
battle
lasts
little
more
than
half
an
hour,
in
which
time
around
50,000
kilograms
of
tomatoes
have
been
thrown
at
anyone
or
anything
that
moves,
runs,
or
fights
back.
Then
everyone
heads
down
to
the
river
to
make
friends
again—and
for
a
much?needed
wash!
1．In
the
Stilton
cheese
rolling

Sweetest
Day
is
celebrated
on
the
third
Saturday
in
October
as
a
day
to
make
someone
happy.
It
is
an
occasion
which
offers
all
of
us
an
opportunity
to
remember
not
only
the
sick,
the
aged,
and
children
who
have
lost
their
parents,
but
also
friends,
workmates,
relatives
and
neighbors
whose
helpfulness
and
kindness
we
have
enjoyed.
Over
60
years
ago,
when
a
Cleveland
man
noticed
that
some
people,
such
as
children
who
lost
their
parents
and
patients
who
lay
in
bed,
too
often
felt
forgotten
and
neglected,_he
developed
in
his
mind
the
idea
of
showing
them
that
they
were
remembered.
He
did
this
by
giving
them
small
gifts.
With
the
help
of
his
friends
and
neighbors,
he
gave
those
people
small
gifts
on
a
Saturday
in
October.
During
the
years
that
followed,
other
Clevelanders
began
to
take
part
in
the
celebration,
which
came
to
be
called
“Sweetest
Day”.
Over
time,
the
Sweetest
Day
idea
of
spreading
cheer
to
the
poor,
the
sick
and
children
who
had
lost
their
parents
was
broadened
to
include
everyone,
and
became
an
occasion
for
remembering
others
with
a
kind
act
or
a
small
gift.
Soon
the
idea
spread
to
other
cities
all
over
the
USA.
Sweetest
Day
is
not
based
on
any
single
group's
religious
(宗教的)
beliefs
or
on
a
family
relationship.
It
is
a
reminder
that
a
thoughtful
word
or
deed
enriches
life
and
gives
it
meaning.
Because
for
many
people
remembering
takes
the
form
of
gift
giving,
Sweetest
Day
offers
us
the
opportunity
to
show
others
that
we
care,
in
a
positive
way.
本文主要介绍了“美国甜蜜日”的时间、内容、起源以及这个节日的现实意义。
5．What
can
we
learn
from
the
first
paragraph?
A．Sweetest
Day
is
a
day
to
make
others
happy.
B．Sweetest
Day
is
just
an
occasion
to
care
about
disabled
people.
C．Sweetest
Day
is
an
occasion
for
lovers
to
express
love.
D．Sweetest
Day
is
celebrated
on
the
third
Sunday
in
October.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第一段的第一句话可知，“甜蜜日”的目的是让人们能够开心。
6．Which
of
the
following
has
little
relationship
to
Sweetest
Day?

sick
people
of
the
hospital.

children
who
have
lost
their
parents.
C．Giving
friends
small
gifts.
D．Giving
flowers
to
sweethearts.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段可知，在Sweetest
Day，人们会关注那些病人、孤儿，会给亲朋送上小礼物，但文章没有提到要给恋人送花。
7．The
underlined
word
“neglected”
in
the
second
paragraph
means
“________”．
A．remembered
B．hated
C．paid
little
or

to

When
I
was
still
young
in
my
high
school,
my
mother
dragged
me
to
play
basketball
to
lose
weight.
However,
it
was
turned
out
to
be
a
bitter
failure
because
I
devoted
my
time
on
study.
One
day,
a
friend
of
mine
contacted
me
and
suggested
that
we
started
to
swim.
Without
any
hesitation,
I
agreed
because
we
all
thought
it
was
coolest
thing
in
the
world.
I
couldn't
forget
the
day
on
that
I
was
thrown
into
the
cold
water.
Fortunately,
I
survived.
Honest
speaking,
I
had
a
hard
time
recovered
from
the
shock.
Then
my
friend
teaches
me
to
hold
my
breath
underwater.
Finally,
I
succeeded.
Now
realizing
that
taking
exercises
is
beneficial
to
my
health,
I
develop
a
strong
taste
for
swimming,
which
becomes
part
of
my
life.
答案与解析
1．第二句：去掉was。turn
out意为“最后结果是”，无被动语态。
2．第二句：on改为to。
devote...to...，“把……专用
于……”，是固定用法。
3．第三句：started改为start。suggest在此意为“建议”，后跟宾语从句时从句谓语用(should)
do形式。
4．第四句：all改为both。此处指“我的朋友和我”，故用both。
5．第四句：coolest前加the。由in
the
world可知，coolest在此是最高级形式，形容词最高级前加定冠词。
6．第五句：that改为which。此处是“介词＋关系代词”引导定语从句，先行词是the
day，故用on
which。
7．第七句：Honest改为Honestly。honestly
speaking“说实话”，是固定短语。
8．第七句：recovered改为recovering。have
a
hard
time
doing
sth.“做某事有困难”，是固定用法。
9．第八句：teaches改为taught。文章讲述过去的事情，此处也应用一般过去时。
10．第十句：exercises改为exercise。take
exercise
“锻炼”，exercise作“运动，锻炼”讲是不可数名词，无复数形式。Unit

Walter
felt
trapped.

wanted.
No
one
around
him
seemed
to
__2__
what
he
said,
no
matter
how
many
gestures
he
would
__3__.
And
what
was
worse,
not
even
his
own
__4__
would
do
what
he
wanted.
__5__
he
tried
to
talk,
and
all
that
came
out
were
__6__
noises.
Or
he
would
try
to
pick
something
up,
and
his
hands
would
throw
it
to
the
floor.
Or
he
would
try
to
__7__
his
mother,
and
end
up
pushing
her
away.
And
sometimes
he
couldn't
even
__8__
straight.
All
those
made
him
feel
very
__9__
and
powerless,
and
many
people
around
him
grew
to
believe
that
he
was
a(n)
__10__，
aggressive
boy.

would
leave
him
alone
and
take
no
interest
in
him.

happened,

felt
sad,

thought
to
himself,

they

Walter

she
spent
hours

hours
teaching
Walter
how
to
__15__
his
hands,
how
to
say
words
__16__，
and
how
to
control
his
wild
thoughts.
And
after
a
lot
of
care,
Alice
helped
Walter
understand
the
__17__
of
life.
Walter
and
Alice
were
normal
children
like
everyone
else,
and
the
only
__18__
was
that
Walter
had
been
trapped
inside
his
__19__
body.
Thanks
to
Alice,
the
door
of
Walter's

“This
isn't
Disneyland.
I'm
not
a
novelty.
This
is
as
real
as
it
gets，”
sing
The
Sisters
of
Invention.
The
young
women—Annika,
Michelle,
Jackie,
Aimee
and
Caroline—are
a
pop
group
with
a
difference.
All
have
learning
difficulties
and
some
have
extra
disabilities.
The
five
are
based
in
Adelaide,
Australia,
and
met
in
2010
when
they
sang
together
in
a
choir
(合唱队)
run
by
Tutti,
an
organization
which
supports
disabled
artists.
Tutti
saw
they
had
talent
and
invited
them
to
form
a
group.
Now
they
perform
together
two
or
three
times
per
month,
and
this
is
how
they
make
a
living.
Michelle
is
25
and
has
cerebral
palsy
(脑瘫)
and
a
mild
learning
disability.
She
says,
“We
choose
the
name
The
Sisters
of
Invention
because
we
are
like
sisters
and
we
support
each
other
on
and
off
stage.
For
the
invention
part,
we
are
trying
to
change
people's
view
of
people
with
disabilities.
We
are
reinventing
the
rules.”
All
their
songs
are
based
on
the
members'
own
experiences
and
were
written
as
a
group
in
their
twice
weekly
meetings
at
Tutti.
“We
would
arrive
in
the
morning
and
I'd
say,
‘What
do
you
want
to
talk
about
today？’”
says
their
manager
and
producer
Michael
Ross.
He
then
noted
down
everything
they
said
until
lyrics
took
shape.
Ross
says
that
putting
“their
truth”
out
there
is
important.
He
says,
“What
I'm
interested
in
is
that
we
get
to
see
the
world
in
a
way
that
people
in
pop
culture
almost
never
get
to
see.
It
is
creative
gold.”
When
they
perform
their
songs,
the
physical
side
of
their
disabilities
is
more
obvious,
but
Ross
says,
“They're
not
up
there
to
show
their
barriers
or
difficulties.
They're
up
there
to
show
their
strengths.”
本文为记叙文。五个有学习障碍的女孩组成了一支乐队，她们通过演出向人们展现自己的力量。

about

of
Invention?

to
make
money.

some
have

things
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。由第四段“...because
we

and
we
support
each
other
on
and
off
stage.”可知，之所以给乐队起这个名字是因为五个成员亲如姐妹，互相支持。
3．How

of
Invention?

I
was
real
sad
when
I
found
that
my
bicycle
went
wrong
again.
Tired
of
repairing
it
again
and
again,
I
decided
buy
a
new
one.
After
school,
I
went
to
a
shop
locating
in
the
center
of
the
city
with
my
friend
Jack.
The
black
bicycle
attracted
my
eyes
as
soon
as
we
went
into
the
store.
It
looked
so
cool
that
I
could
hardly
wait
to
ride
it.
The
shopkeepers
told
us
that
it
was
the
latest
bicycle.
He
wanted
to
charge
me
for
800
yuan,
that
was
too
high
for
me.
I
just
couldn't
afford
so
an
expensive
one.
Then
I
choose
another
one,
which
cost
me
only
200
yuan.
It
was
not
perfect,
and
it
was
much
better
than
the
old
one.
答案与解析
1．第一句：real改为really。修饰形容词，作状语，应用副词。
2．第二句：buy前加to。decide
to
do
sth.“决定做某事”，是固定用法。
3．第三句：locating改为located。be
located
in
“位于……”，是固定短语，此处作定语，故用located。
4．第四句：The改为A。第一次提到“一辆黑色自行车”，其前应用不定冠词。
5．第六句：shopkeepers改为shopkeeper。由下文的he可知，此处应用单数shopkeeper。
6．第七句：去掉for。charge作“向……收费”讲，接双宾语，故for多余。
7．第七句：that改为which。非限制性定语从句的引导词在从句中作主语，指物，应用which。that不引导非限制性定语从句。
8．第八句：so改为such。修饰an
expensive
one应用such，so是副词，修饰形容词、副词等。
9．第九句：choose改为chose。文章讲的是发生在过去的事，应用一般过去时。
10．第十句：and改为but。此处表示“虽然它不够完美，但是比那辆旧的好很多”，前后句是转折关系，故用but。
Ⅳ.书面表达
假设你是李华，你远在美国的笔友Jack对中国的春节很感兴趣，他来信询问有关情况。请你给他回一封电子邮件，简单介绍春节及中国人是如何过春节的。内容应包括如下要点：
1．春节在中国的地位；
2．春节持续的时间、春节来临前及期间人们的活动；
3．你对春节的态度。
注意：1.可适当发挥使行文连贯，词数100左右；
2．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。
