Lunar New Year used to be a daylong celebration for us．My parents tried really hard to recreate the season for my sisters and me here in America．On New Year’s day，my family，including all my uncles，aunts，and cousins，dressed in new clothes，gathered at my grandma’s house．Kids were pulled out of school，and adults took the day off．The celebration lasted throughout the day and late into the night，with one tradition following another．
Fast-forward to 2019: My grandma has passed away，the adults are elderly，and the kids have grown up and are living their own life．The Lunar New Year celebration is no longer elaborate as it used to be．As we melt into American culture，the “olden ways”，as we call them，have fallen away．Life seems to have got busier and much more complex，but I often feel something is missing．
For us first-generation kids，it is often easier to let go of the traditions and customs of our parents’．They don’t mean as much to us as they do for them．At the same time，they are still a part of our culture．I realised that the diaspora(流散) of young Asian American in the US is not unique to me．It is an ongoing inner struggle that we all wrestle with．My Asian features and skin colour do not entirely define who I am．I am as much a “hamburger” guy as a “rice” individual．I can’t quite fully claim that I am an American and not fully Asian．
There isn’t really a check box that I can mark．I am Chinese-Vietnamese-Asian-American．
I now have two little boys．It saddens me to think they will never be able to experience what my sisters and I did as little kids during this holiday．Recently，for the first time，I’ve hung up Lunar New Year decorations around the house and replaced our Christmas wreath(花环) on the front door with decorative firecrackers．In a way，my sons are forcing me to slow down and explore my heritage．
(　　)19．What do we know about the author’s family in Paragraph 1
A．They lived a very hard life in America．
B．They respected the old and loved the young．
C．They stuck to the traditions of Lunar New Year．
D．They paid little attention to children’s education．
(　　)20．What does the underlined word “elaborate” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Carefully prepared and organised．
B．Extremely simple and easy．
C．Unbelievable and ridiculous．
D．Humorous and appealing．
(　　)21．Why does the author mention “hamburger” and “rice” in Paragraph 3
A．To suggest various choices．
B．To indicate diverse identities．
C．To clarify different customs．
D．To compare personal tastes．
(　　)22．What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A．We should strengthen family bonds．
B．We are what we choose to be．
C．Passing down family traditions matters．
D．Knowing yourself is a lifelong process．
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的祖辈从亚洲移居到美国，以往每年都过农历年，但在2019年奶奶去世后，年味就淡了，作者因此而失望。第一次，作者为了把传统传承下去而撤掉圣诞布置，换上了新年的装饰品。
19．C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The celebration lasted throughout the day and late into the night，with one tradition following another．”可知，作者一家在美国依旧按传统方式过农历新年。故选C项。
20．A　词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“On New Year’s day，my family，including all my uncles，aunts，and cousins... with one tradition following another．”以及第二段中的“Fast-forward to 2019: My grandma has passed away，the adults are elderly，and the kids have grown up and are living their own life．”可知，随着奶奶去世、大人们变老以及孩子们长大，他们不再像以前那样精心准备和组织农历新年庆祝活动了。由此推知，画线词elaborate意为“精心准备和组织”。故选A项。
21．B　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“My Asian features and skin colour do not entirely define who I am...I am Chinese-Vietnamese-Asian-American．”可知，作者用hamburger指代“美国”，用rice指代“亚洲的中国和越南”。因此，作者提及这两个词是为了表明他的几个不同的身份。故选B项。
22．C　推理判断题。根据最后一段“I now have two little boys．It saddens me to think they will never be able to experience what my sisters and I did as little kids during this holiday...In a way，my sons are forcing me to slow down and explore my heritage．”可知，作者的两个儿子对中国传统新年没有概念，所以作者想通过这些装饰以及通过自身对传统的探索来影响孩子们，把旧的传统传承下去。故选C项。

October 15th is Global Handwashing Day．Activities are planned in more than twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap．
Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical moments．These include after using the toilet，after cleaning a baby and before touching food．
Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for hand washing with soap．The goal，they say，is to create a culture of hand washing with soap．The organisers say all soap is equally effective at removing disease-causing germs(细菌)．They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap．Rub it into all areas，including under the fingernails．Then，wash well under running water．Finally，dry your hands with a clean cloth．
The Partnership says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing．Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs．And it usually leaves a pleasant smell，which increases the chances that people will wash again．
It also says that washing hands with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine．It could help reduce cases of diarrhea(痢疾)，which is the second leading cause of child deaths，killing more than one and a half million children a year，by almost half．
(　　)23．What does the author intend to tell us in the passage
A．To keep healthy by washing hands．
B．To wash hands with soap．
C．To take action to wash hands．
D．To wash hands often．
(　　)24．Which fact can’t explain why soap is important
A．It gives people a longer hand washing time．
B．It helps to remove a lot of germs from hands．
C．It attracts people to do more hand washing．
D．It gets all people into the habit of washing hands．
(　　)25．According to the last paragraph，diarrhea is a disease that ________．
A．kills half of the kids in the developing countries a year
B．causes the greatest number of child deaths
C．can be prevented to some degree by washing hands with soap
D．can’t be cured without washing hands
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了国际洗手日以及这个节日践行用肥皂洗手的理念和其作用。
23．B　推理判断题。根据第一段的内容、第三段中的“Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for hand washing with soap．”以及其他段落内容可知，本文介绍了国际洗手日以及这个节日践行用肥皂洗手的理念及其作用。由此推知，作者在文章中告诉我们要用肥皂洗手。故选B项。
24．D　细节理解题。根据第四段的内容可知，A、B和C项都提到了肥皂很重要的原因，但D项“它使所有人都养成了洗手的习惯”没有在文章中提及。故选D项。
25．C　推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，饭前便后使用肥皂洗手能够拯救更多的生命，会减少一半的患痢疾，由此可推知，痢疾是一种可以通过用肥皂洗手预防的疾病。故选C项。

□动词的-ing形式(1)
——动词的-ing形式作定语和表语
一、动词的-ing形式的定义
动词的-ing形式由“动词原形＋-ing”构成。动词的-ing形式可在句中作主语、宾语、表语、定语、宾语补足语或状语，但不能单独用作谓语。
二、动词的-ing形式作定语
动词的-ing形式作定语时，分为前置定语和后置定语两种。
1．动词的-ing形式作前置定语
动词的-ing作前置定语时，说明被修饰词的属性、作用或用途，表示“供……用”的意思，相当于介词 for 短语，常置于被修饰词前。
a swimming pool＝a pool for swimming 游泳池
a walking stick＝a stick for walking 拐杖
2．动词的-ing形式作后置定语
动词的-ing形式作后置定语时，它和被修饰词之间有逻辑上的主谓关系，表示被修饰词正在进行的动作，相当于一个定语从句。
单个的动词的-ing形式作定语时，放在被修饰词前面；动词的-ing形式短语作定语时，则放在被修饰词后面。
The boy playing football on the playground is my younger brother．
＝The boy that/who is playing football on the playground is my younger brother．
在操场上踢足球的那个男孩是我的弟弟。
(1)动词的-ing形式(短语)的完成式“having done”一般只用作状语，不作定语。
(2)动词的-ing形式、动词的-ed形式的被动式与不定式的被动式作定语的区别：
形式 用法 例子
动词的-ing形式的被动式作定语(being done) 表示被动且正在进行 The stadium being built now is the biggest one in our city．
现在正在建的这个体育馆是我们市最大的。
形式 用法 例子
动词的-ed形式作定语(done) 表示被动且已完成 The stadium built last year is the biggest one in our city．
去年建成的这个体育馆是我们市最大的。
不定式的被动式作定语(to be done) 表示被动且表示将来 The stadium to be built next year will be the biggest one in our city．
明年要建的这个体育馆将会是我们市最大的。
三、动词的-ing形式作表语
作表语的动词的-ing形式分为两种。一种表示主语的性质、特征或状态，其作用相当于形容词；另一种是具体说明主语的内容，即主语等同于表语，两者可互换。
1．表示主语的内容，可以转换到句首作主语
(1)动词的-ing形式(短语)作表语，表示抽象的一般性行为，用来说明主语的内容，与主语通常是同一概念，表语和主语常可互换位置。
Her job is keeping the lecture hall as clean as possible．
＝Keeping the lecture hall as clean as possible is her job．
她的工作是尽量让报告厅保持干净。
(2)动词的-ing形式(短语)作表语与不定式(短语)作表语的区别：
形式 用法
动词的-ing形式 (短语)作表语 通常表示抽象的一次性行为，用来说明主语的内容
不定式(短语)作表语 表示具体的动作，尤其表示尚未完成的、将来的动作，主语常为plan，dream，purpose等
My next duty is looking after these children．
我的下一个任务是照顾这些孩子。
The main purpose of this activity is to let more people understand the importance of learning Chinese．
本次活动的主要目的是让更多的人了解学习汉语的重要性。
2．表示主语具有的特征、性质或状态
动词的-ing形式用作表语时，往往具有形容词的性质，说明主语的性质、特征等。作表语的动词的-ing形式，许多是由能够表示人们某种感情或情绪的动词变化而来的。常见的有moving，interesting，encouraging，exciting，boring，inspiring，surprising，puzzling，amusing，astonishing，这类分词意为“令人……的”，常用于修饰物。
Your speech is very interesting and encouraging．
你的演讲很有趣而且振奋人心。
【拓展提升】
很多用作表语的动词的-ing形式已经形容词化了，对应的还有它们的动词的-ed形式。如：
pleasing令人愉快的；pleased感到愉快的
puzzling令人费解的；puzzled感到费解的
satisfying令人满意的；satisfied感到满意的

Ⅰ．七选五
British Harvest Festival is celebrated on or close to the Sunday of the Harvest Moon，which is the full moon that’s closest to the Autumn Equinox(秋分)．　1　 But it may also take place at the beginning of October in some years．This holiday is to celebrate the food that land has provided and to give thanks．
The Harvest Festival can date back to the ancient Celts’ times when it was celebrated as the seasonal mid-point．　2　 In Anglo-Saxon England，these traditions of the Harvest Festival continued．And during this time，it became a custom to “bless (祝福) the bread”，which would later become the tradition of giving thanks for a meal．　3　 In this way，the Harvest Festival continue to develop over the next few hundred years until it became the holiday that it’s today．
　4　 Usually，people in Britain share a meal with friends and family and decorate homes．They also attend church，give food out to people in need，and sing songs．Some people make corn toys，which are expected to bring luck to next year’s harvest．Sometimes these toys are hung up on farm houses．
Some British people are trying to return this holiday to some of its religious roots．However，most don’t have that attempt．　5　. They also give thanks for the good luck they received all year long.
A．Why is the Harvest Festival still celebrated
B．By the 1500s，many traditions had been put into this day.
C．How do the British celebrate the Harvest Festival nowadays
D．Thus，this holiday usually falls around the end of September．
E．In that way，it is much like the American holiday of Thanksgiving．
F．They just see this holiday as a way to spend time with their family．
G．During this time，people would harvest their crops and store food up for winter．
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国丰收节的历史起源及其传统演变，描述了现代庆祝方式，并指出如今多数人更注重其家庭团聚的世俗意义而非宗教内涵。
1．D　根据上文“British Harvest Festival is celebrated on...closest to the Autumn Equinox(秋分)．”以及下文“But it may also take place at the beginning of October in some years．”可知，空格处应与丰收节的时间有关。D项“因此，这个假期通常在九月底左右。”是对上文时间的具体补充，并与下文构成转折，符合语境。故选D项。
2．G　根据上文“The Harvest Festival can date back to...the seasonal mid-point．”可知，空格处应与古凯特尔时期人们庆祝丰收节的方式有关。G项“在此期间，人们会收割庄稼并储存食物以备冬季。”承接上文内容，符合语境。故选G项。
3．B　根据上文“And during this time，it became a custom...giving thanks for a meal．”以及下文“In this way，the Harvest Festival continue to develop...the holiday that it’s today．”可知，空格处应与丰收节的传统有关。B项“到了16世纪，许多传统都延续到了今天。”承上启下，符合上下文的时间逻辑，符合语境。故选B项。
4．C　根据下文“Usually，people in Britain share a meal with friends and family...toys are hung up on farm houses．”可知，下文描述了现代的庆祝方式。C项“现在英国人是如何庆祝丰收节的？”引出下文内容，符合语境。故选C项。
5．F　根据上文“Some British people are trying to...most don’t have that attempt．”以及下文“They also give thanks for the good luck they received all year long．”可知，空格处应与人们对丰收节的态度有关。F项“他们只是把这个假期看作是与家人共度时光的一种方式。”与上文内容形成对比，符合语境。故选F项。

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了西藏沐浴节的起源、传说及庆祝方式。
1．its　考查代词。根据空格后的名词短语“rich traditions”可知，空格处应用形容词性物主代词修饰名词短语。故填its。
2．centuries　考查名词的数。根据空格后的“to the time of Yuthok Yonden Gonpo”以及常识可知，此处应用可数名词century的复数形式。故填centuries。
3．Applying　考查动词的-ing形式。分析句子结构可知，本句已有谓语动词spent，空格处应用非谓语动词；动词apply与主语he之间是主动关系，空格处应用动词的-ing形式做状语；空格处位于句首，单词首字母需大写。故填Applying。
4．who　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空格处需用关系词引导非限制性定语从句，先行词Yuthok，指人，关系词需在定语从句中作主语，应用关系代词who引导定语从句。故填who。
5．amazingly　考查副词。分析句子结构可知，空格处应用副词作状语修饰动词cured。故填amazingly。

8．has been celebrated　考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。根据时间状语“Since then”可知，空格处谓语动词应用现在完成时；主语“the Bathing Festival”与动词celebrate是动宾关系，所以谓语动词应用现在完成时的被动语态。故填has been celebrated。
9．for　考查介词。根据空格后的“health and happiness”以及语境可知，人们来河边洗澡是为了祈求健康和幸福，所以空格处应用介词for，表示目的。故填for。
10．festive　考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，空格处应用形容词作定语修饰空格后的名词foods。故填festive。(共125张PPT)

◇句式解读
1．(P4)However，no matter how different they may seem...
【翻译】然而，无论它们看起来多么不同……
【考点提炼】本句中的“no matter how”意为“不管多么……；无论多么……”，常用于引导让步状语从句，相当于however，此时，however 后接形容词或副词的原级，即“however＋adj．/adv．＋主语＋谓语”。
【归纳拓展】
(1)“疑问词＋-ever”的词主要有whatever，whichever，whoever，whomever，wherever，whenever，however。它们引导让步状语从句时，通常可以转换为“no matter＋疑问词”。
(2)whatever，whichever，whoever，whomever 还可引导名词性从句，但此时不能转换为“no matter＋疑问词”。

2．(P5)Festivals are becoming more and more commercial，with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations．
【翻译】随着商家利用这些庆典，节日变得越来越商业化。
【考点提炼】本句中的“with businesses taking advantage of the celebrations”是由“with＋宾语＋宾语补足语”组成的复合结构，这个结构通常在句子中充当状语或定语。
【归纳拓展】
with 复合结构在句中常作状语，表示伴随状况、原因、方式、条件等，但有时也可作后置定语。其常见形式有：
Instead，he and another man are hiding in a small hut during a snowstorm with nothing to eat．
相反，他和另一个人被暴风雪困在一个小木屋中，没有任何东西可吃。

【考点提炼】该句是简单句，其中的it作形式宾语，动词不定式“to spend more on gifts for their loved ones”作真正的宾语。
【归纳拓展】
(1)it 作形式宾语时，可代替作真正宾语的动词不定式、动词的-ing形式或从句，把真正的宾语置于宾语补足语之后。it 作形式宾语的常用句式有：主语＋think/feel/make/consider...＋it＋n．/adj．＋for/of sb to do...(其中的for/of 引出动词不定式的逻辑主语)
(2)enjoy，like，dislike，love，hate，prefer，appreciate 等动词后接 if 或when 引导的从句时，通常应先在动词后接it 作形式宾语。
I like it when you smile．
我喜欢你微笑的时候。

Diwali (Deepavali) is a festival of lights observed in October or November each year in India．During the festival，various community groups，businesses，schools and associations celebrate it in different ways．Some companies have Diwali dinners and some communities organise gatherings that feature firework displays，dances，street lighting，and plays．
Many women wear fine jewellery and silk outfits to celebrate Diwali．Some women and girls use Mehendi，a dye decoration which can last a limited time，on their palms，and then they will finally get colourful hand paintings．Many homes that celebrate Diwali have various types of sweets，salty and spiced food as well as Diwali herbs(香草)．Various lights，candles and sparklers are lit inside and outside homes，particularly in courtyards，on Diwali．
Diwali is an important public holiday in India，so it is a prevalent festival celebrated in many towns and cities．There may be traffic jams and parking places may be full in areas where events are held to celebrate Diwali．Some businesses may close early on Diwali．
Diwali is called the “Festival of Lights” and is celebrated to honour Rama，a hero who once fought and won a battle against the demons(恶魔)．
In the past，people lit their houses to celebrate his victory over demons (light over darkness)．At the same time，every household did careful and complete cleaning at home in advance．It is believed that the goddess of happiness and good fortune，Lakshmi，travels around Earth on this day and enters the house that is pure，clean，and bright．
Diwali celebrations may vary in different communities but its spiritual meaning is generally “the awareness of the inner light”．As the word “Deepavali” means “a row or cluster of light”，the festival symbolises the victory of righteousness and the lifting of spiritual darkness．

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了印度每年在10月或11月庆祝的灯节——排灯节，包括其庆祝方式、文化意义及精神象征。

◇句式解读
1．(P3)After all，as you know，I love to dance!
【翻译】毕竟，正如你知道的，我喜欢跳舞！
【考点提炼】本句中的“as you know”是as 引导的非限制性定语从句。as 用作关系代词代替整个主句，意为“正如，正像”。
【归纳拓展】
(1)as引导的从句位置较灵活，可以位于主句前面、中间或后面，一般用逗号与主句隔开。其常用的表达有：
as is known to all 众所周知
as is reported 正如报道的那样
as is often the case 情况常常如此
as often happens 这种情况常常发生
as is expected 正如所预料的
As is often the case，she rarely takes part in outdoor activities．
她通常很少参加户外活动。
(2)which引导非限制性定语从句修饰整个主句时，只能位于主句之后，不能放在句首。
He never gives up easily，which makes him different from others．
他从不轻易放弃，这使得他与其他人不同。

(2)China Today attracts a worldwide-readership，__________ shows that more and more people want to learn about China．
【答案】(1)as　(2)which
2．(P3)It’ll be too tiring to walk or dance for a long time in those shoes．
【翻译】穿着那双鞋长时间行走或跳舞太累了。
【考点提炼】该句子用it作形式主语，真正的主语为后面的不定式结构“to walk or dance for a long time in those shoes”。
【归纳拓展】
(1)在“It is clear/obvious/certain/possible/important/necessary /true...”句型中，it作形式主语，后面的主语可以是不定式结构，也可以是that从句。中间的形容词也可以是名词，比如a habit，a rule，an honour等。此外，在句型“It is adj．＋of/for sb...”中，如果形容词描述的是sb的品质、品格，sb前应使用介词of，否则就用for。
(2)It is no use/no good/useless/a waste of...后常接动词的-ing形式作真正的主语。
It is not right to use these places as rubbish dumps．
把这些地方用作垃圾填埋场是不对的。
It is no good/use having a car if you can’t drive．

语 音 时 空
□音的同化
音的同化是英语语音中的一个重要现象。 语流中两个邻近的不同的音，其中一个受到另一个的影响而变得跟它相同或相近，这种现象叫作音的同化。大致可分为以下三类：
1．因唇形的影响而发生的同化：
/n/，/d/，/t/在双唇音/m/，/b/，/p/前面被同化，如ten pairs，get money，that boy。
2．因声带的影响而发生的同化：
(1)浊辅音可变为清辅音。例如：of course。
(2)清辅音可变为浊辅音。例如：like that。
3．因发音部位的影响而发生的同化：
本音 同化音 举例
/s/＋/ / / / this shop；nice shoes
/z/＋/ / / / those sheep；Has she come
/t/＋/j/ /t / situation；natural；next year
/d/＋/j/ /d / graduate；Would you like it
/s/＋/j/ / / assure；Don’t miss your train．
/z/＋/j/ / / as usual；as you know

Ⅰ．阅读理解
The Fire Festival is celebrated in northern Ghana．It’s a holiday we had never heard of before we came to live in a village here as Peace Corps community volunteers．It’s unbelievably great．
On the Fire Festival，drums beat a quick and regular rhythm that locals dance to in a circle of bodies，men and women，the old and young，holding torches of burning grass above their heads，which stands for the light and getting off negative energies．
At this moment，this festival is being held at the beginning of the lunar year．The locals are all so involved in the celebration that they don’t pay as much attention to us as they normally will．
When they find us getting involved as they are，they dance more vigorously and scream with joy．
Danielle，a friend of mine in the Peace Corps，says，“That we join in the celebration is significant because foreigners here are typically seen as the representatives of other organisations，not as people who are willing to join in the Fire Festival rituals(仪式). But in fact，we are dancing and celebrating as one．”
Our two-year Peace Corps service will finish up in mid-November．We can think of no better way to say goodbye than by celebrating the Fire Festival with the villagers we’ve come to know．The festival lets us see a different side of them—and lets them see a different side of us. The neighbours who sell rice are now the women who urge us to run faster and dance harder at the Fire Festival. And rather than view us as low-key(低调的) volunteers，they see us as the ones who have crazy dance steps with wild screams.
(　　)1．Why did the author go to northern Ghana
A．To find a job． B．To go travelling．
C．To study further． D．To do voluntary work．
(　　)2．How do the locals feel when seeing the author and Danielle join in the celebration
A．Annoyed． B．Excited．
C．Confused． D．Indifferent．
(　　)3．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．The reason why the author and Danielle joined in the festival．
B．The secrets of dancing well in the Fire Festival．
C．How the locals celebrate the Fire Festival．
D．How the author and Danielle help the locals sell rice．
(　　)4．What can we learn from the text
A．Practice makes perfect．
B．Where there is a will，there is a way．
C．When in Rome，do as the Romans do．
D．The grass is always greener on the other side．
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者作为和平队社区志愿者在加纳北部庆祝火把节的经历。
1．D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It’s a holiday we had never heard of before we came to live in a village here as Peace Corps community volunteers．”可知，作者到加纳北部是为了做志愿者工作。故选D项。
2．B　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“When they find us getting involved as they are，they dance more vigorously and scream with joy．”可推断，当地人发现作者和Danielle加入庆祝活动后，他们非常激动。故选B项。
3．A　段落大意题。通读最后一段内容，尤其根据“We can think of no better way to say goodbye...lets them see a different side of us．”可知，本段主要介绍了作者和Danielle加入当地火把节庆祝活动的原因。故选A项。
4．C　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It’s a holiday we had never heard of before we came to live in a village here as Peace Corps community volunteers．”以及第四段中的“That we join in the celebration is significant...we are dancing and celebrating as one.”可知，作者和Danielle以和平工作团志愿者的身份来到加纳北部，当地人庆祝火把节时，他们入乡随俗，积极参与庆祝活动。因此，从文中我们可以学到“入乡随俗”。故选C项。

③would/could/might＋动词原形(与将来的事实相反)
(2)当as if/though引导方式状语从句时，如果从句主语和主句主语一致，且其中又含有be动词的某种形式，则可以用省略形式：as if/though＋不定式/动词的-ing形式/形容词(短语)/介词短语。

　1　 You may wish to participate in it when you visualise thousands of people in costumes，dancing together，
followed by lights，musical instruments and singing songs aloud with the help of a crowd of almost 100,000 viewers sitting in the avenue stands．
But the parade preparations are not easy．　2　 Everything must be done by the time the parade is held in February，summertime in Brazil．
The song creation is one of the most important parts of the celebration．The samba music is the life of the parade．A group of musicians and writers chooses a historical theme and transforms it into an upbeat piece of music．　3　 It must make it impossible for those who are listening to stand still．
In the same way，the costumes add beauty and colour to the parade．　4　 Satin，feathers，and many other flashy materials are used．The costumes are chosen according to the theme．Most parade groups allow tourists to participate，but they also must wear the costumes，which can cost from $300 to more than $1,400. Every parade participant can choose which part of the group they want to be，and then they plan their costumes accordingly．
Put it all together and add the most excited and happy people，and it is easy to see why the parade is the centerpiece of the carnival．The mix of culture，art and fun attracts people. So，what are you waiting for 　5　.

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巴西狂欢节的情况。
1．C　根据下文“You may wish to participate in it when you visualise thousands of people in costumes，dancing together，followed by lights，musical instruments and singing songs aloud with the help of a crowd of almost 100，000 viewers sitting in the avenue stands．”可知，下文的描述体现了活动的盛大和令人印象深刻。故C项“这绝对是一次令人印象深刻的活动。”符合语境。故选C项。
2．E　根据上文“But the parade preparations are not easy．”以及下文“Everything must be done by the time the parade is held in February，summertime in Brazil．”可知，空格处应说明活动准备的不容易之处。故E项“这需要八个多月的计划。”符合语境。故选E项。
3．A　根据上文“A group of musicians and writers chooses a historical theme and transforms it into an upbeat piece of music．”以及下文“It must make it impossible for those who are listening to stand still．”可知，下文提到音乐让听众不可能原地不动，说明音乐有吸引力。故A项“节奏要有吸引力。”符合语境。故选A项。
4．B　根据上文“In the same way，the costumes add beauty and colour to the parade．”可知，空格处应继续说明服装。B项中的They指代前文的costumes，故B项“它们有助于阐明主题。”符合语境。故选B项。
5．G　根据上文“Put it all together and add the most excited and happy people，and it is easy to see why the parade is the centerpiece of the carnival．The mix of culture，art and fun attracts people．So，what are you waiting for？”可知，上文的反问句说明作者鼓励读者去参加狂欢节。故G项“现在开始练习你的桑巴舞，为下一个狂欢节作准备。”符合语境。故选G项。
Ⅱ．读后续写
December strode(阔步走) into the mountains of Colorado，shooting snowflakes and blowing them into a thick blanket of white．As Christmas approached，the farmers there closed down most wooden houses for a holiday cheer．Not all were closed，however．There was still work to be done，and someone had to stay．That someone was Slim Carter．
Old Jake，another farmer there，had offered to keep him company，but Slim shook his head．“After all，a young man like me has got plenty of Christmases ahead，” Slim joked．Before Jake offered to stay again，Slim hurried on．“I’ll just have a private Christmas this year，and that’s the way I want it．” So he was left alone at the house．Alone，with his horse on the farm and the wolves roaring in the forest nearby．
Truth was，Slim had decided not to celebrate Christmas at all．It wasn’t that he didn’t like Christmas．In fact，his Christmas memories were good ones．His mother would fill their house with the light of candles and the smell of candy．His father would make their Christmas tree hunt an all-day，men-only affair．Slim smiled as he remembered sitting on the broad back of their horse with the freshly cut tree along behind．
Back home，they would cover the tree with paper snowflakes and homemade decorations and sing all the Christmas songs they knew．And that’s the way he liked it．Those were the memories he pulled out on nights when he was working alone．Such memories warmed him inside，even if his outsides were aching with cold．
This was Slim’s first year away from home．“Christmas is nothing if not spent with family，” Slim declared to the empty house．That was the real reason he’d sent Jake away．He figured he would handle Christmas better if he just pretended it was an ordinary winter workday．
But on Christmas Eve，as Slim headed back with snow beneath his feet and stars overhead，his head hung low．It was Christmas，even without the tree and the gifts．Christmas，and he was all alone．
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应的位置作答。

_________________________________________________

_________________________________________________
_________________________________________________
_________________________________________________
_________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version：
Then he remembered decorating the tree with his family again．Then Slim changed his mind，and decided to have a simple Christmas．He went out，looking for a Christmas tree．He swung an axe at the tree．The tree fell! After doing this，he shouldered the tree and walked towards the farm．On the way back，he heard many Christmas songs，which made him happy．
After he returned to the farm，he put stars on the top of the tree，hung coloured balls on the tree，and decorated the Christmas tree．
While singing to his decorated Christmas tree，Slim heard a knock on the door．He opened the door and was surprised to see old Jake．Old Jake was covered with snow．
Jake went into the house and said to Slim，“I felt lonely this day，so I decided to come back and spend this Christmas with you．May I？” Slim listened and shed tears of gratitude．So the two lonely people spent a happy and unforgettable Christmas together at last．
