Christmas Traditions
The Origin of Christmas
Since about 400 AD，Christmas Day has been celebrated on 25th December.This date was the old mid­winter festival in pre­Chri stian times，around the time of the longest night and the shortest day.Christmas in the 21st century has many traditions：Christmas trees，cards and presents.
Presents and shopping
Shops can make about 60 per cent of their year's income in the three months before Christmas.So most shops get ready for it in October.The shopping centres are beautifully decorated and stay open late at night.The first time this happened was in 1867 when Macy's，a famous shop in New York，stayed open until midnight on Christmas Eve(24th December)．
Trees
By mid­December，almost every house，shop and street has a Christmas tree.This tradition was started by the Germans as early as 700 AD.In the northern countries of the world，winter is cold and dark and most trees lose their leaves.The beautiful green trees decorated with lights and coloured glass balls give people hope that spring will come again.
Cards
The tradition of sending cards to friends was started in 1840 in the UK and now millions of Christmas cards and emails are sent all round the world.Cards are a good way of keeping in touch with family and friends who live far away.
Father Christmas
Father Christmas is known across the world with his white hair，red coat and big bag of toys.Young children are told that he lives in the north of Finland and makes toys for them.By tradition，he brings the toys to children at midnight，on the night before Christmas.
Food
On Christmas day a traditional meal is eaten，usually turkey(like a big chicken)and a rich，spicy cake.Some people hate Christmas.Others feel it is a magical and exciting time.They love seeing family and friends；they also love the traditions.Love it or hate it，Christmas is a time to look back over the old year—and
forward to the new one.

VENICE，a small，waterside city in northeast Italy，boils with happiness and excitement once every year.Between February 21 and March 4，carnival(狂欢节) hits the streets.
For most people，carnival means large parties and feasting(盛宴)．But in Venice，it also means traditional masks and clothes.
These costumes were first meant to hide personal identities.Then，different social classes could mix in a sea of happiness.
Along the waterways，people greeted each other with：“Good morning Ms Mask！〞Today，people in Venice still dress up in the strangest ways as armed soldiers，butchers and fishermen，for example.
Bars and cafés are filled with party­goers who come to show off their beautiful clothes.Their designs an d creations are made by special studios.Ready­made costumes are not acceptable.
“In the months before the carnival we work overtime to meet the demand，〞said a mask­maker.“Many kilometres of silk and lace(花边) are made into costumes.For shopkeepers，carnival is the best time of year.〞
The Venice carnival dates back to the Middle Ages.At that time，the city was one of the wealthiest in Europe.
The tradition of celebrating with masks and costumes is thought to have been started by the“Stocking Companies〞．These were groups of young men who organized parties and festivals and wore colorful stockings to distinguish(区分) themselves.
By the 18th century，the carnival had reached its top.It all came to an end when Napoleon controlled Venice in 1797.But in 1979 ，local people brought the old traditions back to life.
Now the Venice carnival attracts huge crowds from all over the world.This year，about 700,000 people are taking part.Hotels were fully booked months in advance，and bars and restaurants overflow every day.
The city certainly benefits—a whole industry has been built up around the carnival's masks and clothes.
“The Venice carnival is a magical time! It's such a great experience，〞said one French tourist.
48．What might you infer from the article?
A．People in Venice like parties.
B．Venice was a happy city.
C．There used to be strong feelings of social class in Venice.
D．Venice was a city of silk and lace.
49．When was the carnival the biggest?
A．In the middle ages.
B．In the 18th century.
C．In 1797.
D．In 1979.
50.Who started the tradition of wearing masks and costumes?
A．Napoleon.
B．Young men.
C．The hotel industry.
D．The silk and lace makers.
51．What is the main idea of the article?
A．How the carnival is celebrated in Venice.

C．The history of the carnival in Venice.
D．What to see and do during the carnival time in Venice.

(2013·新课标全国卷Ⅱ)Given that many people's moods (情绪) are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate，it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine.Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & theChocolateFactory，Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of chocolates.Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents' corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.
If the CRF seems to be a smart idea，that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony.That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored (味道) chocolates.
The CRF's produce is “green〞，made within the country and divided into 10 lines，
with the Alcohol Series being the most popular.The Exotic Series－with Sichuan pepper，red bean(豆)，cheese and other flavors－also does well and is fun to taste.And for chocolate_snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others，the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo，Cuba，Venezuela，and Ghana，among others.
52．What is good about chocolate?
A．It serves as a suitable gift.
B．It works as an effective medicine.
C．It helps improve the state of mind.
D．It strengthens business relations.
53．Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF?
A．He knows the importance of research.
B．He learns from shops of similar types.
C．He has the support of many big names.
D．He has a lot of marketing experience.
54．Which line of the CRF produce sells best?
A．The Connoisseur Series.
B．The Exotic Series.
C．The Alcohol Series.
D．The Sichuan Series.
55．The words “chocolate snobs〞 in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people who ________.
A．are particular about chocolate
B．know little about cocoa beans
C．look down upon others
D．like to try new flavors
Ⅳ.任务型读写(共10小题；每一小题1分，总分为10分)
(2013·宿州市泗县第二中学高一月考)
Do we need an “Ivy League〞？
China may soon have its own “Ivy League〞， with a union of top universities.
The term originally referred to an athletic conference of eight top universities in the northeastern US. The Chinese version, which was officially started in mid­October, consists of nine famous universities, including Peking, Tsinghua, Zhejiang and Fudan. The union is supposed to result in student exchange programs,
recognition of academic achievements, and other joint programs.
The news of this Chinese “Ivy League〞 has received mixed responses from the public and press. Some negative critics have dismissed it as yet another example of the wishful copying of international practices without fully understanding them. Others say that the “Ivy League〞 is not necessary but that the union is a good idea, one that could promote academic development.
So what's your opinion on a Chinese “Ivy League〞？ Do we need one?
Yes. Ivy League or not, nine of China's best universities cooperating is a good thing.
These universities combining resources could create a better environment for students and for research. It could also save a lot of time and resources because it would mean fewer unnecessary investments for some of the universities.
Allowing students to move to or have exchanges with other universities could broaden their horizons, improve their social skills and create more employment opportunities. The results could be more important than lessons and achievements.
The te rm “Ivy League〞 carries a sense of academic excellence, tradition and reputation. If borrowing such a term could encourage students' and professors' mental state and improve Chinese higher education, then there's no reason not to do it.
No. Universities should do some work on increasing cooperation instead of copying an “Ivy League〞 model.
Many Chinese universities already have such cooperation with each other. If this cooperation were associated with the “Ivy League〞， it would just distract(分散) attention and resources and have a negative effect.
These Chinese universities are all state­run and most get their funding from the government. They're quite similar to each other in many ways and more cooperation wouldn't bring about as much potential ability as between, say, public and private, or Chinese and foreign universities.
China should find its own way to develop world­class universities instead of by copying some foreign practices. We have our own unique conditions and foreign lessons often don't apply well here.

综合检测(一)
1．D 句意：你父亲上学的那个学校是你真正想去的学校吗？your father attended 是定语从句修饰the school，设空处应为先行词，其后面的句子是其定语从句。

先行词代表the school，所以用the one。

2．B with的宾语后面可加形容词、副词、分词、不定式、名词等作宾补，这儿pet dog 与follow构成主谓关系，所以用following。

3．B set out 出发，着手；set off 动身，出发，引发；set up 建立；set aside
置于一边。

句意：一封来自母亲的信引发了一场思家惊慌。

4．A in memory/honour of 纪念，不能使用定冠词；in charge of 掌管。

5．C 考查非谓语动词。

现在分词结构feeling energetic作伴随状语。

句意：你每天早晨起来都感到精力充沛并准备开始新的一天吗？
6．A 句意：我上幼儿园时教师经常提醒我对成年人要有礼貌，remind sb.to do sth.意为提醒……做……，此处为被动结构。

7．A 句意：尽管我老觉得我会通过考试，然而，我从来不曾想过会得“A等〞。

根据上下文可以看出，题干需要一个引导让步状语从句的连词。

while在这里等于though。

8．C dress up表示“打扮〞，可以不跟宾语。

9．B happen 常指偶然发生；take place指按计划、安排发生；take part in 参加；turn out 结果是、证明为。

句意：——仪式什么时候举行，我校所有可爱的男孩，女孩都在盼望着。

——抱歉，我不知道，但据我看来，八点。

10．A award“授予〞；recognize“认出，识别出〞；regard“看作〞；reward“报答，奖赏〞。

此处表示“由于在医药方面的贡献她被授予诺贝尔奖〞。

11．C 句意：你该问问为什么我对这个想法感到失望。

be meant to do意为“应该做〞，符合句意，应当选C项。

mean to do“意欲/打算做〞；mean doing“意味着做〞；be meant doing无此用法。

12．D take care of 照顾；pay attention to 注意；break away from 摆脱；play tricks on欺骗。

句意：在太阳下走了几个小时后，他的意识开始混乱。

13．A shall用于第三人称，表示命令、允诺等语气。

句意：根据最新制定的交通规如此，无论谁闯红灯，都必须被罚款至少200美元。

14．D 考查主语从句。

句意：这名男子没有早点报告这次事故的原因根本没有搞清楚。

It在句中是形式主语，真正的主语是why引导的主语从句。

15．D 句意：我一直在盼望的信件还没有到来。

根据句意，时态应使用现在完成进展时；引导词是that或which，作定语从句的宾语，因此to不能省略。

【语篇解读】母亲节快到了，教师要求孩子们为妈妈制作贺卡，Elizabeth没有妈妈，她打算把贺卡送给爸爸，教师看到贺卡内容感动得流下眼泪。

教师说那是班上最好的贺卡，Elizabeth高兴地回到家把贺卡献给爸爸，爸爸感动得热泪盈眶。

31．B
32．C 上面是爸爸的画像(drawing)。

33．C 作为单身家长，既当爸又当妈。

35．D 从just like Mrs Berry did知应填crying。

36．C 细节理解题。

38．D 细节考查题。

A、B和C项均在原文中的四、五段出现，只有D项没有提到。

39．A 推理判断题。

从“All the students vote a most popular student〞可知道这是学生之间的评选活动，而没有涉与“客人〞或者是“队员〞和“选手〞。

40．C 此题考查细节理解，由第一段知圣诞节始于大约公元400年，容易得知答案为C，AD意为公元后，BC意为公元前。

41．A 根据第二段第一句易知圣诞期间营业量巨大。

其他选项只是从另一个方面说明生意火爆的场面，和题干没有因果关系。

42．C 文中说这一风俗始于德国人，但A不合情理；B凭常识易排除；根据第三段最后一句可知应选C。

43．A 结合第五段与常识可知答案为A。

44．C 此题考查细节理解，根据第一段最后两句有关中国传统食品的介绍，用排除法
不难选出C。

45．C 此题考查推理判断，由第三段内容知Father Frost和Snegoorochka在新年的前一晚上来到并把礼物放到新年树下，应推知他们和圣诞老人一样是传说中的人物。

46．B 此题考查全文主旨。

文中几位人物各自介绍了自己喜欢的节日，关键词应是屡次出现的favorite holiday。

47．B 考查细节。

A的诱答性很强，但根据第二段最后一句mainly because it is Jesus' birthday，应该选B。

第三段“These costumes were first meant to hide personal identities.Then，different social classes could mix in a sea of happiness.〞可知C项正确。

通过阅读全文可知本文介绍威尼斯是如何庆祝狂欢节的。

B、C、D 三项的内容只是文章的局部内容。

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。

巧克力可以调节人的情绪，现在新加坡的CRF正在帮你生产出令你满意的巧克力。

那么，它有哪些优势呢？
52．C 细节理解题。

根据第一段第一句话可知，巧克力可以调节人的情绪。

A项在文中未提与；文中并未提与巧克力有药物的成效，故B项错误；文中提到CRF的创始人Chris Lee有广泛的商业人脉，但这并不说明巧克力能加强商业关系，排除D项。

所以选C。

53．D 细节理解题。

根据第二段第一句可知Lee不仅仅是一个经验丰富的销售员，而且是一个与一些大品牌有业务往来的市场部经理，因此可以知道他有许多市场经验，正是他丰富的市场经验使得他的理念得以开展。
