Carnivals in the Caribbean
Carnival in Martinique
Martinique's Carnival originated in the 17th century. Today, it kicks off with the daytime parades of Dimanche Gras (Fat Sunday)and Burlesque parties on Monday's Lundi Gras. The red devil dress theme on Tuesday's Mardi Gras brings thousands to the streets. On Ash Wednesday, the final day of Carnival, paradegoers watch the ceremonial burning of King Vaval, a symbol of the social issues of the time.
Junkanoo in the Bahamas
Originating in the 16th century, Junkanoo is held on Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Today, the music-filled parade is a colorful scene of handcrafted costumes called “junkanoo suits”. Participants spend months preparing colorful floats to go down the streets for thousands of onlookers. Children are also involved in this annual tradition.
Carnival in Guadeloupe
From the first Sunday in January to Ash Wednesday, the islands of Guadeloupe come alive with one of the world's most culturally rich Carnival celebrations in the Caribbean. Unlike the big parties of Trinidad and Barbados that have become more mainstream, Guadeloupe's Carnival remains centered on the people of the island and their pride in their culture and tradition.
Mas Dominik in Dominica
The island of Dominica draws visitors to its streets lined by rainforests that provide the ultimate paradisiacal setting. Carnival here has similar traditions to those of its neighboring islands, including J'ouvert, pageants, street parades with Calypso music, and a kiddie carnival.

(2025·浙江台州模拟)
The traditional Chinese Longtaitou Festival, or the Dragon-Head-Raising Festival, falls on the second day of the second lunar month every year, and recognizes the start of spring and farming. Ancient people believed that after this day, rainfall increases because the rain-bringing Dragon King has awakened from his winter sleep. A well-known phrase goes, “Er yue er, long tai tou，” meaning, “On the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head.”
The festival celebrates ancient agrarian (农业的)Chinese culture, and while some of traditional ways to celebrate it are no longer practiced, others persist．
The most famous tradition is getting a haircut. Some believe that going to the barber on this day gets rid of bad luck, while others believe that getting a haircut during the first month of the lunar calendar brings bad luck. Another saying warns that cutting your hair in the first month will cause your uncle to die. Although today few pay attention to it, it was once tradition to line up outside barbershops on the day of Longtaitou, having avoided haircuts for the preceding (前面的)month.
People eat tofu balls in East China's Fujian province during the festival, and often make tofu and vegetable balls to pray for family and business. Fried beans are the traditional festival fare for people in parts of Shandong province. Eating chengyao cakes, which are made with sticky rice, during the festival is tradition in Suzhou, East China's Jiangsu province, in tribute to the saying, “If you eat chengyao on Longtaitou, your waist won't hurt all year.”
Meanwhile, other foods, like dumplings, spring rolls and popcorn, are named after dragon body parts to mark the day. Noodles are the dragon's beard, dumplings are the dragon's ears, spring rolls are the dragon's scales (鳞)，and popcorn is the dragon's seed.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国传统节日“龙抬头”的起源、习俗及饮食文化，体现了人们祈求好运和风调雨顺的美好愿望。

A．It is a day to welcome the first rain in the year.
B．It's held to wake animals from their winter sleep.
C．It's traditionally believed to promise favorable weather.
D．It means the beginning of the busiest time for farming.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“Ancient people believed that after this day…from his winter sleep.”可知，古人认为龙抬头节过后降雨会增多，因为龙王苏醒，这意味着天气将更有利。故选C项。
C
5．What does the underlined word “persist” in paragraph 2 mean？(　　)
A．Change. B．Remain.
C．Disappear. D．Recover.
解析：词句猜测题。根据第二段“while some of traditional ways to celebrate it are no longer practiced, others persist”可知，前后语义形成对比，“no longer practiced”表示“不再实行”，因此persist的含义应为“仍然存在/保留”。故选B项。
B
6．Why do people tend to cut their hair on the Dragon-Head-Raising Festival？(　　)
A．To show honor to the dragon.
B．To convey best wishes to their uncles.

(2026·云南玉溪开学摸底)
The importance of festivals is documented throughout history and across almost all cultures.Festivals like Chinese New Year, Mardi Gras, Diwali, and more highlight important cultural values and heritage.Festivals like these are a meaningful and deep way to connect with our roots, reflect on personal values and experiences, and discover rituals (仪式)and practices that resonate with us.They offer individuals an opportunity to come together in celebration, strengthening our sense of belonging and unity.
Additionally, festivals tend to arouse a sense of joy and appreciation for our surroundings.Often, upon entering the festival grounds, one can feel positive energy spreading.This energy is jointly created and shared among participants.It invites the possibility of happiness, relaxation, and the decrease of limits.In this space, individuals can become fully present and strengthen self-awareness.They also explore passions and interests, build relationships, and connect with their inner drive to help them keep making positive lifestyle choices.
When music is included in the festival experience, participants experience many physical and psychological benefits.The American Music Therapy Association (AMTA)conducted a thorough examination of peer-reviewed research journals.The examination concludes that music is universally appealing and helps promote social, emotional, and cognitive skills across many different disability categories.Music is widely accepted as an evidence-based therapy that is known to reduce stress, increase memory, improve communication, strengthen sensory-processing and more.Additionally, there is strong potential for communities with diverse needs and backgrounds to connect through shared musical experiences.
In today's fast-paced world, festival celebrations aren't common for everyone.It is our belief that the festival experience, and built-in benefits, can be combined with daily life and community spaces.To make this happen, we can try some programs which highlight the value of inclusion while offering accessible recreational and educational experiences.

The Double Ninth Festival, also known as the Chongyang Festival, is held on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month.According to records from the mysterious book Yi Jing, the number 6 belonged to the Yin character while the number 9 was thought to be of the Yang character.So, on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, both day and month are Yang characters.Therefore, the festival was named the Chongyang Festival.
In ancient China, as people ascended (登高)to high places on the Double Ninth Festival, it is also known as the Height Ascending Festival.This custom was supposedly started during the Eastern Han Dynasty, when people usually climbed mountains or towers.
The Double Ninth Festival is a golden time of the year.The first person who purportedly (据称)enjoyed chrysanthemums and drank chrysanthemum wine on that day was the poet Tao Yuanming, who lived during the Jin Dynasty.Tao Yuanming, famous for his poems, enjoyed chrysanthemums.Many people followed suit, drinking chrysanthemum wine and enjoying chrysanthemums, which became a custom.During the Song Dynasty, enjoying chrysanthemums became popular and was an important activity on this festival day.After the Qing Dynasty, people went crazy for chrysanthemums, not only during the Double Ninth Festival, but also at other times by going outside and enjoying the plant.
During the Tang Dynasty, inserting zhuyu on the Double Ninth Festival became popular.Ancient people believed that it helped avoid disasters.And women stuck chrysanthemums in their hair or hung branches on windows and doors to ward off evil.
The Double Ninth Festival can be traced back to the Warring States Period.During the Tang Dynasty, the Double Ninth Festival was on official lists of folk festivals.Like other traditional festivals, the Double Ninth Festival also has ancient legends.

熟读话题外刊，速记单元词汇
Festivals are a necessary part of every culture, offering an 1.eye-catching (adj. 引人注目的)display of 2.traditions (n. 传统)and 3.customs (n. 风俗，习惯). Unlike 4.ordinary (adj. 普通的)days, these special 5.occasions (n. 时刻)often involve unique activities and celebrations. For instance, during certain festivals, people might book a 6.flight (n. 航班)to their hometown to spend with their families and participate in the festivities.
One common element in many festivals worldwide is the expression of joy and happiness. Streets come alive with 7.merry (adj. 愉快的)laughter, and the sound of people 8.clapping (v. 鼓掌)can be heard. In some cultures, there's a 9.march (n. 游行)or parade showcasing the 10.current (adj. 现在的)year's theme, with various 11.vehicles (n. 交通工具)12.decorated (v. 装饰)carefully. These events often 13.earn (v. 赢得)the admiration of both locals and tourists.
The 14.hunt (n. 寻找)and 15.selection (n. 挑选)for unique gifts and souvenirs becomes a common activity. These festivals not only 16.honor (v. 尊重)the traditions 17.passed down (phr. 世代相传)from one 18.generation (n. 一代)to another but also educate the younger generation about the 19.source (n. 来源)of their cultural practices. Many of these traditions have stories rooted in 20.previous (adj. 先前的)generations, teaching values and 21.duties (n. 责任)that are still relevant today.
As the festival approaches, the anticipation grows. Every item, no matter how 22.precious (adj. 珍贵的)or ordinary, is prepared with care. Whether it's preparing a special dish that requires a particular 23.sort (n. 种类)of ingredient or ensuring the 24.decorations (n. 装饰)are just right, every detail counts. As the day ends, the joy, laughter, and sometimes even 25.tears (n. 泪水)of happiness 26.represent (v. 代表)another successful festival celebration.

Carnivals in the Caribbean
Carnival in Martinique
Martinique's Carnival originated in the 17th century. Today, it kicks off with the daytime parades of Dimanche Gras (Fat Sunday)and Burlesque parties on Monday's Lundi Gras. The red devil dress theme on Tuesday's Mardi Gras brings thousands to the streets. On Ash Wednesday, the final day of Carnival, paradegoers watch the ceremonial burning of King Vaval, a symbol of the social issues of the time.
Junkanoo in the Bahamas
Originating in the 16th century, Junkanoo is held on Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Today, the music-filled parade is a colorful scene of handcrafted costumes called “junkanoo suits”. Participants spend months preparing colorful floats to go down the streets for thousands of onlookers. Children are also involved in this annual tradition.
Carnival in Guadeloupe
From the first Sunday in January to Ash Wednesday, the islands of Guadeloupe come alive with one of the world's most culturally rich Carnival celebrations in the Caribbean. Unlike the big parties of Trinidad and Barbados that have become more mainstream, Guadeloupe's Carnival remains centered on the people of the island and their pride in their culture and tradition.
Mas Dominik in Dominica
The island of Dominica draws visitors to its streets lined by rainforests that provide the ultimate paradisiacal setting. Carnival here has similar traditions to those of its neighboring islands, including J'ouvert, pageants, street parades with Calypso music, and a kiddie carnival.

C．One week. D．Half a month.
解析：细节理解题。根据Carnival in Martinique部分的描述“Today, it kicks off with the daytime…a symbol of the social issues of the time.”可知，Martinique的狂欢节从“肥胖星期日”开始，最后一天为“圣灰星期三”，涵盖周日到周三四个连续日子。故选B项。
2．What can be inferred about Guadeloupe's Carnival？(　B　)
A.It becomes more commercialized than Trinidad's carnival.
B.It places greater emphasis on local cultural identity.
C.It attracts more visitors than mainstream carnivals in the Caribbean.

3．Where does the text probably come from？(　A　)
A．A travel guide. B．A research paper.
C．A science magazine. D．An advertisement.

(2025·浙江台州模拟)
The traditional Chinese Longtaitou Festival, or the Dragon-Head-Raising Festival, falls on the second day of the second lunar month every year, and recognizes the start of spring and farming. Ancient people believed that after this day, rainfall increases because the rain-bringing Dragon King has awakened from his winter sleep. A well-known phrase goes, “Er yue er, long tai tou，” meaning, “On the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head.”
The festival celebrates ancient agrarian (农业的)Chinese culture, and while some of traditional ways to celebrate it are no longer practiced, others persist．
The most famous tradition is getting a haircut. Some believe that going to the barber on this day gets rid of bad luck, while others believe that getting a haircut during the first month of the lunar calendar brings bad luck. Another saying warns that cutting your hair in the first month will cause your uncle to die. Although today few pay attention to it, it was once tradition to line up outside barbershops on the day of Longtaitou, having avoided haircuts for the preceding (前面的)month.
People eat tofu balls in East China's Fujian province during the festival, and often make tofu and vegetable balls to pray for family and business. Fried beans are the traditional festival fare for people in parts of Shandong province. Eating chengyao cakes, which are made with sticky rice, during the festival is tradition in Suzhou, East China's Jiangsu province, in tribute to the saying, “If you eat chengyao on Longtaitou, your waist won't hurt all year.”
Meanwhile, other foods, like dumplings, spring rolls and popcorn, are named after dragon body parts to mark the day. Noodles are the dragon's beard, dumplings are the dragon's ears, spring rolls are the dragon's scales (鳞)，and popcorn is the dragon's seed.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国传统节日“龙抬头”的起源、习俗及饮食文化，体现了人们祈求好运和风调雨顺的美好愿望。
4．What can we learn about the Dragon-Head-Raising Festival from paragraph 1？(　C　)
A．It is a day to welcome the first rain in the year.
B．It's held to wake animals from their winter sleep.
C．It's traditionally believed to promise favorable weather.
D．It means the beginning of the busiest time for farming.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“Ancient people believed that after this day…from his winter sleep.”可知，古人认为龙抬头节过后降雨会增多，因为龙王苏醒，这意味着天气将更有利。故选C项。
5．What does the underlined word “persist” in paragraph 2 mean？(　B　)
A．Change. B．Remain.
C．Disappear. D．Recover.
解析：词句猜测题。根据第二段“while some of traditional ways to celebrate it are no longer practiced, others persist”可知，前后语义形成对比，“no longer practiced”表示“不再实行”，因此persist的含义应为“仍然存在/保留”。故选B项。
6．Why do people tend to cut their hair on the Dragon-Head-Raising Festival？(　D　)
A．To show honor to the dragon.
B．To convey best wishes to their uncles.
C．To make barbershops' business more prosperous.
D．To remove bad luck and hope for a smooth new year.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“Some believe that going to…lunar calendar brings bad luck.”可知，人们选择在龙抬头节理发是为了去除坏运气，迎接好运。故选D项。
7．What do we know about foods eaten on the Dragon-Head-Raising Festival？(　A　)
A．Foods with dragon-themed names are designed to mark the day.
B．Eating chengyao cakes made of sticky rice is a must for the festival.
C.Dumplings are considered to be the most popular food during the festival.
D.Foods prepared during the festival are much the same throughout the country.

The importance of festivals is documented throughout history and across almost all cultures.Festivals like Chinese New Year, Mardi Gras, Diwali, and more highlight important cultural values and heritage.Festivals like these are a meaningful and deep way to connect with our roots, reflect on personal values and experiences, and discover rituals (仪式)and practices that resonate with us.They offer individuals an opportunity to come together in celebration, strengthening our sense of belonging and unity.
Additionally, festivals tend to arouse a sense of joy and appreciation for our surroundings.Often, upon entering the festival grounds, one can feel positive energy spreading.This energy is jointly created and shared among participants.It invites the possibility of happiness, relaxation, and the decrease of limits.In this space, individuals can become fully present and strengthen self-awareness.They also explore passions and interests, build relationships, and connect with their inner drive to help them keep making positive lifestyle choices.
When music is included in the festival experience, participants experience many physical and psychological benefits.The American Music Therapy Association (AMTA)conducted a thorough examination of peer-reviewed research journals.The examination concludes that music is universally appealing and helps promote social, emotional, and cognitive skills across many different disability categories.Music is widely accepted as an evidence-based therapy that is known to reduce stress, increase memory, improve communication, strengthen sensory-processing and more.Additionally, there is strong potential for communities with diverse needs and backgrounds to connect through shared musical experiences.
In today's fast-paced world, festival celebrations aren't common for everyone.It is our belief that the festival experience, and built-in benefits, can be combined with daily life and community spaces.To make this happen, we can try some programs which highlight the value of inclusion while offering accessible recreational and educational experiences.
