三、阅读理解
India
has
many
festivals,with
some
celebrations
that
last
for
weeks.However,none
of
them
come
even
close
to
Holi,India’s
most
colourful
and
fun
festival.Celebrated
on
the
day
following
the
full
moon,this
year’s
festival
happens
to
be
on
March
19th.
As
with
most
Indian
festivals,this
one
also
has
many
different
folk
stories.Most
of
them
centre
around
the
success
of
good
over
evil.The
most
popular
one
is
about
a
king,who
hates
his
son
Prahlada
for
loving
the
creator
of
the
Universe—Lord
Vishnu.When
every
attempt
to
stop
him
fails,his
sister,Holika
believed
to
be
immune(免疫的)
to
fire,joins
in
the
effort
by
inviting
the
young
boy
to
sit
with
her
inside
a
huge
fire.Helped
by
the
power
of
Lord
Vishnu,Prahlada
escapes
safely,while
the
evil
Holika
is
burned
to
death.To
remember
this
event,huge
outdoor
fires
are
lit
in
the
night
before
Holi
in
order
to
clean
the
air
of
evil
spirits
and
to
celebrate
the
death
of
the
evil.
So
what’s
so
great
about
this
day?While
there
are
some
fun
parades
and
folk
songs
and
dance
performances,the
most
fun
of
all
is
walking
to
the
streets
and
splashing(泼洒)
people
with
water
guns
and
dry
colours
and
even
covering
them
with
entire
buckets
of
coloured
water.On
this
day,everybody
is
fair
game,no
matter
how
old
or
how
young.?
At
about
midday,the
splashing
comes
to
an
end
and
people
living
close
to
oceans
or
rivers
usually
take
a
bath
in
the
water
to
clean
themselves
before
going
home
to
a
delicious
home-made
big
dinner
and
a
well-deserved
short
sleep,following
this
full
day
of
fun
and
activities.
1.Why
does
the
king
dislike
his
son
Prahlada?
A.Because
Prahlada
doesn’t
love
him.
B.Because
Prahlada
is
rude
to
Holika.
C.Because
Prahlada
loves
Lord
Vishnu.
D.Because
Prahlada
concentrates
on
his
own
success.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的“Themostpopularoneisaboutaking,whohateshissonPrahladaforlovingthecreatoroftheUniverse—LordVishnu.”可知,国王不喜欢他儿子Prahlada是因为他儿子Prahlada喜欢LordVishnu。
2.Prahlada
gets
out
of
danger
.?
A.with
the
help
of
Lord
Vishnu
B.because
of
his
good
luck
C.by
beating
his
aunt
Holika
D.using
his
amazing
talent
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的“HelpedbythepowerofLordVishnu,Prahladaescapessafely,whiletheevilHolikaisburnedtodeath.”可知,由于Vishnu的帮助,Prahlada得以成功逃跑。

to
a
person
who
.?

答案:D
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段的“...themostfunofalliswalkingtothestreetsandsplashingpeoplewithwatergunsanddrycoloursandevencoveringthemwithentirebucketsofcolouredwater.”以及“...nomatterhowoldorhowyoung.”可知,fairgame是泼水的目标。
4.After

a
traditional
Chinese

Stone
Age.The
coming
of
the
Bronze
Age
saw
the
development
of
various
kinds
of
lanterns,of
which
palace
lanterns
were
the
most
fascinating. 1 Various
lantern
festivals
became
a
hit
during
the
Sui
Dynasty,and
during
the
Southern
Song
Dynasty,the
custom
of
writing
riddles
on
lantern
arose.During
the
Qing
Dynasty,magnificent

city.?
◆Eatingsmalldumplingballs
Just
as
the
name
implies,an

Xiao
Festival,is
to

small
dumpling
balls

post
them
on
the
lanterns
in

visitors
can
answer
the
riddles,they
will
get
a
little
gift.
◆Watchingfireworks
At
night,in
addition
to
lighted
lanterns,fireworks
form
a
grand
scene.Most
families
save
some
fireworks
from
the
Spring
Festival
and
set
them
off
during
the
Lantern
Festival. 4 ?
◆Dragondance
The
dragon
dance
is
often
performed
during
the
Chinese
New
Year
period. 5
They
are
believed
to
bring
good
luck
to
people,therefore
the
longer
the
dragon
in
the
dance,the
more
luck
it
will
bring
to
the
community.?
A.Guessing
lantern

B.Chinese

B
A
long
time
ago,I
was
returning
from
my
friend’s
house.My
father
parked
the
car
in
front
of
our
house.We
were
opening
the
gate
when
suddenly
we
noticed
two
puppies
run
onto
our
lawn.
They
were
differently
coloured
—
one
was
brown
as
a
cup
of
coffee
with
its
tail
and
ear
hair
dipped
in
black
while
the
other
puppy
was
a
biscuit
colour
with
the
tip
of
its
tail
dipped
in
white
and
its
forehead
had
a
white
spot.And
that’s
why
we
named
them
Coffee
and
Biscuit.Coffee
is
female
and
Biscuit
is
male.In
other
words
they
both
are
twins
by
a
minute.Well,since
then
they
have
been
with
us.
Now
here
comes
the
shocking
part.Coffee
has
been
with
us
only
for
one
year
and
11
months.Guess
why?Coffee
will
soon
be
sent
away.At
this
time
it
is
known
that
dogs
have
a
sense
of
temper
and
start
biting
people
that
come
near
them.And
so
with
a
lot
of
arguing
I
let
my
parents
take
Coffee
to
a
farmer’s
far
away.They
tried
to
assure
me
that
Coffee
would
have
a
great
time.But
Biscuit
and
I
couldn’t
stand
the
pain
of
losing
a
friend
and
a
sister.
After
a
month,the
night
before
Christmas
I
made
my
Christmas
wish:I
wished
that
Coffee
would
come
back
to
me
on
Santa’s
sleigh
(雪橇).The
next
morning,I
woke
up
to
hear
the
singing
of
birds.I
jumped
out
of
bed
and
ran
towards
the
Christmas
tree.There
were
almost
100
presents.We
started
to
open
our
gifts.In
the
end
there
was
just
one
remaining.It
was
wrapped
in
a
green
gift
paper
and
tied
with
a
red
ribbon.I
opened
it
up
and
guessed
who
jumped
out.It
was
my
lost
Coffee.She
looked
absolutely
beautiful.My
parents
explained
that
she
had
been
scratching
the
front
door
last
night!

C
The
Chongyang
Festival
falls
on
the
9th
day
of
the
ninth
month
of
the
Chinese
lunar
calendar,so
it
is
also
known
as
the
Double
Ninth
Festival.
The
festival
is
held
in
the
golden
season
of
autumn,at
harvest-time.The
bright
clear
weather
and
the
joy
of
bringing
in
the
harvest
make
for
a
festival
happy
atmosphere.The
Chongyang
Festival
is
usually
perfect
for
outdoor
activities.Climbing
a
mountain,carrying
a
spray
of
dogwood(茱萸)
and
drinking
chrysanthemum(菊花)
wine
have
become
the
traditional
activities
of
the
festival.
The
dogwood
is
a
plant
with
a
strong
fragrance(香气),and
is
often
used
as
a
Chinese
herbal
medicine.People
in
ancient
times
believed
it
could
drive
away
evil
spirits
and
prevent
one
from
getting
a
chill(寒意)
in
late
autumn.So
its
history
as
a
medicine
goes
back
many
centuries.But
the
custom
of
carrying
a
spray
of
dogwood
during
the
Double
Ninth
Festival
is
slowly
dying
out
and
many
people
in
the
cities
do
not
even
know
what
a
dogwood
spray
looks
like.
Early
in
Han
Dynasty,about
2000
years
ago,people
used
to
climb
a
high
platform
outside
the
capital
city
of
Chang’an
on
the
occasion
of
the
Chongyang
Festival.For
many,it
was
the
last
outing
of
the
year
before
the
onset
of
winter.The
custom
evolved(发展成)
into
present
form,when
people
go
climbing
to
get
some
exercises
as
well
as
enjoy
the
autumn
scenery.
But
what
about
those
people
who
live
in
plains
far
from
any
mountain?The
problem
is
solved
by
going
for
a
picnic
and
eating
cakes.The
Chinese
word
for
“cake”
is
“Gao”,a
homonym(同音异义词)
of
the
Chinese
word
for
“high”.Mountains
are
high,so
eating
cakes
can,by
a
stretch
of
the
imagination,take
the
place
of
going
for
a
climb.
8.Why
do
people
carry
a
spray
of
dogwood
on
Chongyang
Festival?
A.Because
the
dogwood
is
a
plant
with
a
strong
fragrance.
B.Because
the
dogwood
can
be
used
as
a
Chinese
herbal
medicine.
C.Because
the
dogwood
has
a
long
history
as
a
medicine.
D.Because
people
believed
the
dogwood
could
drive
away
evil
spirits
and
prevent
one
from
chill.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的“Peopleinancienttimesbelieveditcoulddriveawayevilspiritsandpreventonefromgettingachillinlateautumn.”可知佩戴茱萸的原因。
9.People
now

Chinese
word

“cake”
is
“Gao”
B.the
Chinese
word
“Gao”
for
“cake”

the
same
sound
with

Chinese
word
for
“high”
C.they
often
take
cakes
to
go
for
a
picnic
on
the
festival
D.they
like
eating
cakes
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。最后一段讲的是平原地区的人们过重阳节的习俗,他们远离大山,无法登高。由于在汉语中,“糕”与“高”同音,他们用吃糕的方式庆祝重阳节。

air.
D.Eating

February
has
long
been
a
month
of
romance.With
the
sweet
smell
of
roses
in
the
air,romantic
films
hit
cinemas
and
love
stories
fill
newspapers
and
magazines.
On
the
14th
day,it
is
customary
for
a
boy
to
take
his
girlfriend
out
to
dinner,buy
her
flowers
and
chocolates,write
poems,sing
to
her
or
even
spell
out
her
name
with
rose
petals!
This
is
the
scene
that
greets
you
on
Valentine’s
Day,named
after
Valentine
who
was
a
priest
in
the
third
century
Rome.When
the
emperor
decided
that
single
men
made
better
soldiers
than
those
with
wives,he
banned
marriage.
But
Valentine
continued
to
perform
marriage
ceremonies
for
young
lovers
in
secret.When
his
actions
were
discovered,the
emperor
had
him
put
to
death.
While
in
prison,it
is
said
that
Valentine
fell
in
love
with
the
daughter
of
his
prison
guard.Before
his
death,he
wrote
her
a
letter,which
he
signed
“From
your
Valentine”,an
expression
that
is
still
in
use
today.
Valentine
died
for
what
he
believed
in
and
so
he
was
made
a
Saint,as
well
as
becoming
one
of
history’s
most
romantic
figures.
Nowadays,Valentine’s
Day
wins
the
same
popularity
among
Chinese
young
people.It
is
a
time
when
students
“don’t
want
to
be
alone”
according
to
Gao
Shunjie,a
student
reporter
for
21stCenturyTeens
in
Jinling
High
School,Nanjing.Some
of
her
classmates
are
planning
to
make
Valentine’s
cards
for
parents,teachers
and
friends.Others
want
to
hold
parties
at
which
they
will
exchange
small
gifts
and
eat
heartshaped
cakes.The
idea
is
to
have
fun
and
encourage
people
to
share
in
the
spirit
of
St.Valentine.
12.Why
is
February
a
month
of
romance?
A.Because
people
will
enjoy
the
pleasant
feeling
that
the
sweet
smell
roses
bring
them.
B.Because
a
lot
of
romantic
films
will
be
on
show
in
February.
C.Because
people
can
read
a
lot
of
love
stories
in
newspapers
or
magazines.
D.Because
Valentine’s
Day
is
on
the
14th
February,when
many
romantic
things
will
happen.

Year
after
year
my
brothers,sister
and
I
would
lie
in
bed
awake
on
Christmas
morning.We

hear
my
father’s
voice
saying
it

all
right
to 22 .Usually

jump
out

Christmas
decorations(装饰品)

familiar
ones:the
presents
with
our
birth
years
on
them,our
five
stockings(长袜),four
for
the
26 ,one
for
the
dog.It
used
to
be
easy
for
us
to 27 when
to
put
up
the
decorations.But
now
since
we
all
have 28 and
social
lives,it
is
usually
a
hurried
activity.?
As
we
get
older,the
season
almost
brings

a
little
place

for
the
good, 36 not
always
for
the
bad
either.And
the
things
that
don’t

have
the
most
important
meaning
to
us,and
I’m
sure
they
will
be
there
for
the 38
of
our
lives.After
all,every
time
I
hear
my
father’s
39 “All
right
you
guys,come
on
down,nice
and
slow”
and
we
go
down
the
stairs,first
my
brother,then
me,then
my

my
older

三、阅读理解
The
Carnival
of
Brazil
is
an
annual
festival
held
46
days
before
Easter,especially
famous
for
the
Carnival
in
Rio
de
Janeiro.Carnival
celebrations
are
believed
to
have
roots
in
the
festival
of
Saturnalia,which,adapted
to
Christianity,became
a
farewell
to
bad
things
in
a
season
of
religious
discipline
to
regret
and
prepare
for
Christ’s
death
and
coming
back
to
life.
Modern
Brazilian
Carnival
dates
back
to
Rio
de
Janeiro
in
1641.It
originally
copied
the
European
form
of
the
festival,later
taking
in
elements
of
Native
American
and
African
cultures.In
the
late
19th
century,the
strings(弦乐器)
were
introduced
in
Rio
de
Janeiro.These
were
pageant(游行)
groups
that
paraded
through
city
avenues
performing
on
instruments
and
dancing.Today
they
are
known
as
blocks,consisting
of
a
group
of
people
who
dress
in
costumes
or
special
T-shirts
with
themes
or
logos.Blocks
are
generally
connected
with
particular
neighbourhoods;they
include
both
a
music
group
and
a
lot
of
revelers(狂欢者).
Block
parades
have
become
an
expressive
feature
of
Rio’s
Carnival.Today,they
number
more
than
100
and
the
groups
increase
each
year.Blocks
can
be
formed
by
small
or
large
groups
of
revelers
with
a
clear
title.Before
the
show,they
gather
in
a
square,then
parade
in
sections
of
the
city,often
near
the
beach.Carnival
time
in
Rio
is
very
interesting,but
is
also
the
most
expensive
time
to
visit
Rio.Hotel
rooms
and
other
lodgings(住宿)
can
be
up
to
four
times
more
expensive
than
the
regular
rates.There
are
big
crowds
at
some
locations
and
life
is
far
from
ordinary
in
many
parts
of
town.

Background
Black
Friday,the
day
after
Thanksgiving
Day,is
one
of
the
busiest
shopping
days
in
the
USA. 4
One
theory
is

of
vehicles
in
heavy

on
the
day
after
Thanksgiving
Day
left
many
black
marking
on
the
road
surface,leading
to
the
term
“Black
Friday”.?
The
other
theory
is
that
the
term
“Black
Friday”
comes
from
an
old
way
of
recording
business
accounts. 5 Many
businesses,particularly
small
businesses,started
making
profits
before
Christmas.Many
hoped
to
start
showing
a
profit,marked
in
black
ink,on
the
day
after
Thanksgiving
Day.?
More
recently,Black
Friday
has
been
exported
to
nations
outside
of
North
America
such
as
the
United
Kingdom
by
major
online
retailers
like
Amazon
or
Apple.In
2011,IBM
reported

C.Losses
were
recorded

D.A
busy
shopping
day
is
a

in
some
states.
E.There
can
also
be
jams
on

shopping
destinations.
F.There
are
two
popular
theories
as
to
why
it
is
