A
(2020·甘肃重点中学联考)In ancient Egypt，the pharaoh(法老) treated the message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace，if he brought good news.However，if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news，his head was cut off.
Shades of that spirit spread over today's conversations.Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing.As we walked light­heartedly out of the door，picnic basket in hand，a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said，“Oh boy，a bad day for a picnic.The weatherman says it's going to rain.”I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches.Not for his stupid weather report，but for his smile.
Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus.As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter，the sales agent said with a broad smile，“Oh，that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams of head­cutting!
It's not the news that makes someone angry.It's the unsympathetic attitude with which it's delivered(传递)．Everyone must give bad news from time to time，and big winners do it with the proper attitude.A doctor advising his patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way.A boss informing an employee he fails to get the job takes on a sympathetic tone.Big winners know，when delivering any bad news，they should share the feeling of the receiver.
Unfortunately，many people are not aware of this.When you're tired from a long flight，has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn't ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toasted beef，has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as a traveller or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.
Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy，I would have
appreciated his warning.Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left，I probably would have said，“Oh，that's all right.I'll catch the next one.”Big winners，when they bear bad news，deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded(被轰炸的) person is sure to have.

B
(2021·山东部分重点中学调研)They are one of the best rugby teams in the world.The players of the All Blacks，New Zealand's national rugby team，are strong，smart and fast.But，in fact，they win many of their games before the first whistle even blows.
Before the game，during warm­ups，the All Blacks players gather in a semicircle.They stand with their captain in front of them and begin to dance.They hit their arms against their legs.They lift their feet into the air and slam them into the ground.They stick out their tongues and show the whites of their eyes.They shout ancient words and even scream.You may think they're crazy.And that is just what they want you to think.
The rugby players perform the haka，which is a traditional Maori(毛利人)dance.The Maoris are the native people of New Zealand and this dance has been used as a war dance since the 19th century.
Warriors originally performed the war dance before battles to show off their strength in order to intimidate the enemy.Rugby is a violent game that many fans have compared to war.What better way is there to get excited before the game than doing a war dance?
The 19th century French theorist Ernest Renan，one of the first real theorists who looked into the idea of nationalism，described the“nation”as“large­scale togetherness，made up of the feeling of sacrifices that one has made in the past and of those that one is prep ared to make in the future”．
And New Zealand's haka is one of the world's most perfect acts of nationalism.“The haka，in its intensity，reflects it all：first，the solidarity(团结)of warriors—both of Maoris and non­Maoris backgrounds—fighting for a common future.And then a recognition of the almost sacred past.”The Washington Post
noted.
Today in New Zealand，the haka is still performed at many different gatherings and celebrations，a connection to Maori ancestors that has continued despite colonization.
【语篇解读】本文要紧介绍了新西兰的haka，一种能够展现力量并团结新西兰人的传统舞蹈。

5．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Maori people，native New Zealanders.
B．The popularity of rugby in New Zealand.
C．A traditional dance goes on today in New Zealand.
D．The magic of warm­ups before rugby matches in New Zealand.
C[考查主旨大意。

依照文章关键词hake可知，本文要紧介绍了新西兰的传统舞蹈haka。

]
[干扰项分析]A项表示土生土长的新西兰人：毛利人，文中提到haka是毛利人的传统舞蹈，要紧介绍舞蹈；B项表示橄榄球在新西兰的盛行，这只是本文的导入；D项表示在新西兰橄榄球赛前热身的魅力所在，并不是文章的主旨。

6．The underlined word“intimidate”in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “”．
A．threaten B．dissatisfy
C．amaze D．revenge
A[考查词义推测。

结合“show off their strength”和“enemy”可推知，intimidate 意为“恐吓，威逼”。

故选A。

]
7．Why do the All Blacks players perform the haka before a rugby match starts?
A．Because they are crazy.
B．Because they want to please their fans.
C．Because it can let them be in high spirits.
D．Because it is a tradition passed from their ancestors.
C[考查推理判定。

依照第四段的“What better way is there to get excited before the game than doing a war dance？”可推知，新西兰橄榄球队热身时跳 haka是为了鼓舞士气。

]
[干扰项分析]A项只是表面现象，不是目的所在；B项文章中没有提及；D项错在尽管这种舞是一种传统，但球员跳的真正目的是为竞赛鼓舞士气。

8．What can we learn about the haka from the passage?
A．The haka is only performed before rugby matches in New Zealand.
B．The haka is a good way to show nationalism in New Zealand.
C．The haka is a symbol of fighting in the past and future.
D．The haka has helped the New Zealand's national rugby team win at all times.
B[考查推理判定。

依照第六段的“And New Zealand's haka is one of the world's most perfect acts of nationalism...fighting for a common future”可推知，haka这
种舞充分展现了新西兰的民族精神。
