A calendar of New Year celebrations around the world
世界各地新年庆祝活动的日历
　　The marking of a New Year is an age-old tradition around the world—food, fireworks and reflection with friends and family are common threads, but ultimately this varies between different calendars, religions and cultures.While the Gregorian calendar (introduced through Christianity) has mostly been skewed (曲解) in the Western world to take centre stage, the lunar and solar calendars are acknowledged in some celebrations, too, marking a time to greet the year ahead with gratitude and goodwill.Here, we round up some of the ways the New Year is called in around the world. Nowruz Starting on the spring equinox (春分) to celebrate the rebirth of nature, Nowruz (meaning “new day” in Farsi) marks the first month of the Iranian solar calendar, falling roughly around 21 March each year on the Gregorian calendar.Also known as Iranian or Persian New Year, it’s widely celebrated in countries across Central Asia.Poetry is recited, bonfires are leapt over and folk music is performed to mark the overcoming of sorrow and darkness, while houses are cleaned to pave a way for the future.It’s a time for family gatherings, feasts, street festivals and sports, with characteristics varying depending on where it’s celebrated. Diwali As a Hindu lunar celebration, Diwali is a five-day Festival of Lights centered around starting afresh.The dates change yearly depending on the Hindu calendar, usually falling between mid-October and mid-November, taking place on Amavasya (new moon), the darkest night in the Hindu calendar.There are differing customs depending on where it’s being celebrated, with various gods prayed to, but the theme of light continues throughout.People clean and decorate their homes to welcome in Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, with entry ways of coloured sand, rice paste and flowers.It’s a time for visiting neighbours and family in the lead-up, with Diwali being celebrated by praying to Lakshmi, sitting down for a meal and ending with fireworks. —https://www.nationalgeographic.com (同源高考:2022年新高考Ⅰ卷B篇阅读选自本网站)

(2)如果as if/though引导的从句中的主语和主句的主语相同,且含有be动词,可省略从句主语和be动词,构成“as if+-ing/-ed/to do”等形式。

阅读 理解 1—4 √ 排灯节的庆祝方式、意义等 2026·宜春模拟 人与社会 —
　　Diwali, also known as the “Festival of Lights,” is observed in Canada every October or November.People mark the occasion in many ways—schools, businesses, community groups, and cultural associations all join in the festivities.Some companies host special Diwali dinners, while communities organize various events like firework shows, dance performances, street light displays, and theatrical plays.
Many women wear fine jewellery and silk outfits to celebrate Diwali.Some women and girls use Mehndi, 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, especially in courtyards, on Diwali.Diwali is not a nationwide public holiday in Canada, but 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 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 the 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.

(2025·淮北模拟)
As a big country, China’s economic and political influence is felt around the world. And its influence in education and culture has been growing too. The Confucius Institute offering free language classes has gained increasing popularity in both Hungary and Serbia. By offering opportunities to learn Chinese language and traditional arts, Confucius Institutes bring Chinese culture closer to interested learners serving as bridges between nations.
During my childhood, I held an unspoken fascination for Asian culture, a passion cultivated through watching dramas such as the Monkey King. At the time, the idea of studying this captivating region didn’t occupy my mind. My turning point came when the desire to challenge myself led me to choose China for further education. It was a decision—not only for academic growth, but also to experience the responsibility of looking after myself. Taking the road that is less traveled means less company, less comfort. But it also means forging a life with an entirely different perspective I am seeking.
Undertaking Chinese language training presented a remarkable opportunity for many reasons. I firmly believe that acquiring proficiency in the language of the culture is not merely useful, but is also an effective means to truly understand that culture. The combination of learning the language in a classroom setting and applying it in everyday life offers an enriching experience. I participated in the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations held by my local Confucius Institute, such as trying my hand at Chinese crafts providing me with a first-hand experience of the culture.
If given another chance, I would explore even deeper into the rich cultural tapestry that surrounds me.

I can say that along this path, I am gradually learning that valuable lessons unfold step by step.

阅读 理解 1—4 √ 排灯节的庆祝方式、意义等 2026·宜春模拟 人与社会 —
　　Diwali, also known as the “Festival of Lights,” is observed in Canada every October or November.People mark the occasion in many ways—schools, businesses, community groups, and cultural associations all join in the festivities.Some companies host special Diwali dinners, while communities organize various events like firework shows, dance performances, street light displays, and theatrical plays.
　　Many women wear fine jewellery and silk outfits to celebrate Diwali.Some women and girls use Mehndi, 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, especially in courtyards, on Diwali.Diwali is not a nationwide public holiday in Canada, but 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 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 the 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.

(2025·淮北模拟)
　As a big country, China’s economic and political influence is felt around the world. And its influence in education and culture has been growing too. The Confucius Institute offering free language classes has gained increasing popularity in both Hungary and Serbia. By offering opportunities to learn Chinese language and traditional arts, Confucius Institutes bring Chinese culture closer to interested learners serving as bridges between nations.
　During my childhood, I held an unspoken fascination for Asian culture, a passion cultivated through watching dramas such as the Monkey King. At the time, the idea of studying this captivating region didn’t occupy my mind. My turning point came when the desire to challenge myself led me to choose China for further education. It was a decision—not only for academic growth, but also to experience the responsibility of looking after myself. Taking the road that is less traveled means less company, less comfort. But it also means forging a life with an entirely different perspective I am seeking.
　Undertaking Chinese language training presented a remarkable opportunity for many reasons. I firmly believe that acquiring proficiency in the language of the culture is not merely useful, but is also an effective means to truly understand that culture. The combination of learning the language in a classroom setting and applying it in everyday life offers an enriching experience. I participated in the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations held by my local Confucius Institute, such as trying my hand at Chinese crafts providing me with a first-hand experience of the culture.
　If given another chance, I would explore even deeper into the rich cultural tapestry that surrounds me. Exploring renowned landmarks like the oriental Pearl Tower previously unvisited, felt like embarking on a new journey of discovery. I can say that along this path, I am gradually learning that valuable lessons unfold step by step.

A calendar of New Year celebrations around the world
世界各地新年庆祝活动的日历
　　The marking of a New Year is an age-old tradition around the world—food, fireworks and reflection with friends and family are common threads, but ultimately this varies between different calendars, religions and cultures.While the Gregorian calendar (introduced through Christianity) has mostly been skewed (曲解) in the Western world to take centre stage, the lunar and solar calendars are acknowledged in some celebrations, too, marking a time to greet the year ahead with gratitude and goodwill.Here, we round up some of the ways the New Year is called in around the world.
　　Nowruz
　　Starting on the spring equinox (春分) to celebrate the rebirth of nature, Nowruz (meaning “new day” in Farsi) marks the first month of the Iranian solar calendar, falling roughly around 21 March each year on the Gregorian calendar.Also known as Iranian or Persian New Year, it’s widely celebrated in countries across Central Asia.Poetry is recited, bonfires are leapt over and folk music is performed to mark the overcoming of sorrow and darkness, while houses are cleaned to pave a way for the future.It’s a time for family gatherings, feasts, street festivals and sports, with characteristics varying depending on where it’s celebrated.
　　Diwali
　　As a Hindu lunar celebration, Diwali is a five-day Festival of Lights centered around starting afresh.The dates change yearly depending on the Hindu calendar, usually falling between mid-October and mid-November, taking place on Amavasya (new moon), the darkest night in the Hindu calendar.There are differing customs depending on where it’s being celebrated, with various gods prayed to, but the theme of light continues throughout.People clean and decorate their homes to welcome in Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, with entry ways of
coloured sand, rice paste and flowers.It’s a time for visiting neighbours and family in the lead-up, with Diwali being celebrated by praying to Lakshmi, sitting down for a meal and ending with fireworks.
