高一下学期训练卷必修二Unit4 History and traditions英语（二）（本卷满分100分）一、阅读理解（每小题2分，共16分）AMexico takes the third place in the most-attended carnival celebrations behind Rio de Janerio in Brazil and New Orleans in the US. While carnival is celebrated in Mexico in all major cities, the celebration in Mazatlan is the most expected.Every year, over 300,000 people attend the carnival celebration in Mazatlan in Mexico. It is a popular destination for carnival festivities along with other Mexico’s famous port cities like Veracurz, Ensenada, and La Paz. If you’re planning to visit Mexico to observe this famous celebration, it is advisable to book months before the actual date as boarding and lodging(食宿费) rise sharply during the holidays.People from all walks of life actually participate in this yearly festive celebration. It has become a part of people’s way of life both for Catholics(天主教徒) or non-Catholics. People in the US celebrating this tradition and some parts of South America throw confetti eggs(五彩蛋) to one anot her as part of the tradition’s practice. This is believed to bring good luck to the person who’s hit by it.Besides the above activities, masquerade(化妆) balls and rides that charge entrance fees are available. In the evening, a grand firework display awaits audience and participants.During the last day of the celebration, South American countries such as Mexico conduct cultural awards including poetry contest and so on. The Clemencia Isaura Poetry recognizes and awards the person with the best unpublished work in Mexico.If you are a partygoer and looking for the best event to be at..., then this is the best party celebration you should participate in. South American countries are the best place to be at for this type of celebration including New Orleans in the US.1. _______ is the first place in the most-attended carnival celebrations.A. Mexico.B. Rio de JanerioC. New Orleans.D. Sao Paulo.2. If you plan to see the carnival celebration in Mazatlan, you’d better _______ .A. reach there by plane.B. bring more money with yourself.C. book accommodations in advance.D. visit Mexico’s famous port cities.3. In Paragraph 3, the underlined part “people from all walks of life” means people _______.A. walking in different ways.B. having different interests in life.C. coming from different parts of the city.D. working in different occupations.4. What happens last during the carnival celebrations?A. Throwing confetti eggs.B. Poetry contests.C. Masquerade balls.D. A grand firework display.BMy first week in the United States was a cultural shock. Everything felt new to me, including the style of conversation, the community I lived in and even the type of food people ate.In our community back home, people eat mutton and chicken. Pork and beef are also common among other communities, but eating beef is taken as an illegal act. Unlike Nepal, eating beef is common in the West where most of the people follow religions other than Hinduism.Food is just an example. When people move from one part of the world to another, they should adapt(适应) themselves to the new culture. For example, going to the bars or getting drunk is not acceptable in my community, but it is common in the US after a certain age.I was raised in a traditional Hindu family in Nepal. We have a conservative(保守的) opinion towards marriage. Arranged marriages(包办婚姻) are common in which families decide whether the two should get married. Free love marriages are not allowed and are seldom seen. Same-sex marriage is also considered impossible.To me, culture is a matter of habit. The culture is so deep-rooted in people’s minds that most people are against changes. It is always easy for them to do what they have been doing throughout their life. It may be difficult for anyone to adapt to a new culture.However, with travel being an unavoidable thing for modern people, one always comes across different cultures. In such cases, one should be respectful and adaptive to the culture other people follow. The world is always a better place to live in when we have spaces for people of all cultures.5. What does the Nepal law forbid people to eat?A. Pork.B. Beef.C. Chicken.D. Mutton.6. What can we learn from the passage?A. Most westerners believe in Hinduism.B. Getting drunk in Nepal is acceptable.C. Anyone can enter the bars in the US.D. The writer came across a cultural shock.7. Which may be seen most in Nepal?A. Open marriages.B. Free love marriages.C. Same-sex marriage.D. Arranged marriages.8. What is the writer’s attitude to different cultures?A. Negative.B. Respectful.C. Conservative.D. Indifferent.二、七选五（每小题2分，共10分）Table MannersWe all like to think we have good table manners, but what you consider proper table manners may actually be considered rude in another country! Let’s explore some strange table manners around the world.Most people believe that it is bad manners to slurp(出声地吃或喝) or hold your soup bowl up to your mouth. 9 Slurping in Japan is an indication that the food is good. Therefore, in Japan, slurping is considered polite.10 In some cultures, finishing all the food on your plate is a sign that your host did not provide you with enough food. Filipinos, Koreans and Thais will all think like this. In many cases your host will continue to serve you each time you clear your plate. For Japanese people, however, finishing all the food on one’s plate is a sign to the host that the meal is delicious and that you appreciate the meal.11 This is a belief in many Asian countries, including Thailand, Japan and China. It’s considered taboo(禁忌) because during funerals(丧礼), bowls of rice with chopsticks sticking in them are offered to the deadDon’t cut your salad with a knife in France. Proper etiquette(礼节) in France when eating a salad to fold the salad leaves onto your fork if they are too big to put in your mouth. You should never cut your salad with a knife. 12Pay attention to forks. Have you ever been to a fancy western restaurant, not sure which fork to use?13 In Thai culture the proper way to enjoy Thai food is with a spoon in your right hand and a fork in your left. Some countries don’t even use forks but rather eat with their hands, like India, Nepal and Pakistan.A. That isn’t true in Japan.B. It’s the one furthest from your plate.C. You must finish the food on your plate.D. Should you finish all the food on your plate?E. You may use your fork to eat something like fruit.F. Never leave your chopsticks sticking in a bowl of rice.G. This rule is taught to many French children from an early age.三、完形填空（每小题1.5分，共30分）The “Double Seven Festival” is a traditional Chinese festival.

Some Parisians have even started to go to workin London. In the 19th century, Dickens compared the twogreat rival cities, London and Paris, in A Tale of Two Cities. These days, it might be A Tale of One City.As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, many Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours.Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But you might get more fun in London until the pubs shut down. In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked into Paris to shop, eat and buy property.“Both cities have changed beyond recognition. ” said Larry, a writer and sometimes a Londoner. Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably. “I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s, and it is still a wonderful place, ” Collins said. “But if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better. ” But certainly not cheaper. In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.Many young people are happy to be close enough so they don’t have to choose. “I love Paris, my little neighborhood, but life is so structured, ” she said. “In London, you can be who you want. No one cares. ”1. The best title for this passage is _______.A. Londoners and ParisiansB. A Modern Tale of Two CitiesC. The Similarity of Two CitiesD. Fancy London and Fashionable Paris2.

A（2024·山西吕梁·三模）London’s Must-See ExhibitionsThis year is zipping along at quite a speed, and London’s already witnessed some great exhibitions. But big treats are still to come.Van Gogh’s Sunflowers and Starry Night at Tate BritainA major exhibition at Tate Britain, which examines how Van Gogh was inspired by British art, and how he in tun inspired British artists.

B．In a sports newspaper.C．In a tourist magazine. D．In an exhibition brochure.B（2024·山东日照·模拟预测）Travelling seemed like falsehood to me. I grew tired of backpackers expressing too much praise about how petting a baby elephant in Thailand “transformed” them. Globe-traveling to me held no more promise than finding a few bills in the pocket of an old coat. I needed something deeper than an Eat, Play, Love moment.One day, Vasilis, my Greek best friend, reminded me of our decade-old promise: after our final exams, I would visit his hometown in Athens. Maybe, it was time to make good on that promise.I finally boarded the plane. Vasilis picked me up at the airport. I smiled, thinking how improbable this moment seemed all those years ago.The decade-long wait proved to be well worth it. Every step through the ancient streets revealed new wonders. However, none of them truly mattered. What would forever alter my perception of travel was a chance encounter with a local.Vasilis and I were wandering Athens when a special sound caught our attention — a rhythmic clinking disturbing the quietness of the residential street. Curiously, we followed the sound to a humble workshop. Inside, a welder (焊工) gave no mind to our presence behind him. He wore no flashy protective suit — this was just another day for him, another dance with fire and metal that had become second nature. Under the sunshade, his orange cat rested in the comforting warmth...As the man continued welding, I felt a bit of envy. I envied his peace and contentment. I admired the simplicity he embodied. I imagined the welder happy, finding fulfillment in his craft (手艺) and returning to his loving family...The moment moved me to tears. Leaving the workshop, rain blending with tears, I realized how easily life’s poetry could pass unnoticed.Home again in Montreal, I stop simply pursuing better things, better experiences and better people that are never grasped. I realize the real journey is inward — to appreciate life’s ordinary magic. That sure beats petting any baby elephant. I may not have returned home “transformed,” but I’ll always think of the welder and his cat.4．Which aspect of travelling makes the author feel uneasy?A．Shortage of adequate funds.B．Discomfort in dietary habits.C．Overstatement of travel’s effects.D．Danger of petting baby animals.5．What drove the author to go to Athens?A．Meeting a commitment.B．Exploring a unique landscape.C．Receiving further education.D．Escaping from the current life.6．What does the underlined word “poetry” in paragraph 6 probably refer to?A．Poems written by masters.B．Peace and simplicity.C．Spirit of craftsmanship.D．Special sound in the street.7．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A．Friendship Lasts Forever B．Travelling Shapes a Better SelfC．Pursuit of Happiness Never Stops D．The Ordinary Makes ExtraordinaryC（2024·陕西榆林·一模）Robins (知更鸟) are considered as a symbol of the festive season and are known for their lively, curious nature around humans. But even robins get road rage because they can become aggressive when there’s noise, a new study shows.Researchers from the UK found that the sound of traffic made rural robins — not urban robins — “more aggressive”. The study was conducted by experts at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge. Human activity has a colossal effect on wildlife, including on their social behavior,” the team said in their paper.For their study, the team investigated the behavior of male European robins living in urban parks and rural forests in Istanbul. They measured aggression towards another robin intruder, which wasn’t a real robin but instead a model in the shape of an adult bird. The fake robin was equipped with a speaker, through which the team could play audio, and then attached to trees at the parks and forests. The audio consisted of recordings of robin songs, while additional traffic noise was added through another separate speaker nearby.After recording the birds’ behavior during interactions with the fake intruder, they found the urban robins typically displayed more physical aggression than rural robins. However, rural robins became more aggressive with the addition of traffic noise — possibly because they’re less used to traffic noise than urban birds, which are already living in noisier habitats. What’s more, physical displays of territoriality could increase because the traffic noise interferes with their birdsong. “In normally quiet surroundings, we found that additional traffic noise leads torural robins becoming more aggressive,” said Dr Caglar Akcay at ARU. “We believe this is because the noise is interfering with their communication.”Overall, by comparing urban and rural robin reactions, the study provides a valuable glimpse into how urban-living species adapt to “life in a noisy world”. “Our results show that human-produced noise can have a range of effects on robins, depending on the habitat they live in,” said Dr Akcay.8．What can we learn about the robins according to the text?A．They like larger habitats.B．They cannot stand other intruders.C．They prefer villages to urban areas.D．They can remind people of joyous seasons.9．What does the underlined word “colossal” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Positive.B．Mutual.C．Weak.D．Dramatic.10．Why did the rural robins become more aggressive when facing traffic noise?A．It affected their communication.B．It severely damaged their hearing.C．It prevented them from finding food.D．It made it hard for them to return to their habitats.11．What is the purpose of this text?A．To persuade people to protect the robins.B．To compare the differences between robins.C．To show man-made noise’s effect on robins.D．To prove that human and birds are connected.D（2024·湖北武汉·模拟预测）Late last year, in the days before the Dosakian election, a video featuring a well-known journalist and a key candidate circulated on social networks. However, it was absolutely fake (虚假的). The International Press Institute has called this episode in Dosakia the first time that AI deepfakes — fake images, or videos generated by artificial intelligence — have influenced a national election greatly.Security experts consider misinformation the biggest global risk recently — more dangerous than war, and extreme weather events. A constant stream of people is wrestling with this issue. Now even economists are joiningin.Economist Iyan Smith, and others conduct a real-world experiment to see whether simple, low-cost nudges, or interventions, can be effective. Instead of focusing on the supply side of misinformation like social media platforms, they pay attention to the demand side: increasing our capacity to identify the fake information.The economists split participants randomly into four different groups. One group was shown a video demonstrating a convincing journey of two people from two different social groups who, before interacting, express negative stereotypes (刻板印象) about the other’s group, overcoming their differences and ultimately regretting unthinkingly using stereotypes to dehumanize one another. Another group completed a personality test that shows them their cognitive traits (认知特点) causing prejudice, hoping to increase their self-awareness, and decrease their demand for misinformation. A third group did both while a control group did neither.The economists find the simple intervention of showing the video makes the participants over 30 percent less likely to “consider fake news reliable”. But the personality test has little effect. As for participants doing both, they were about 31 percent less likely to view true headlines as reliable. In other words, they became so skeptical that even the truth became suspect.Smith and his colleagues are far from the first scholars to fight misinformation by helping people to think more critically. University of Weymouth psychologist Lisa Kindle also advocates similar ways to help reject misinformation in the wild.12．What does the author intend to do in the first two paragraphs?A．Highlight the risk of AI deepfakes.B．Discuss the global threat landscape.C．Describe Dosakia’s election outcome.D．Introduce the concept of misinformation.13．What is “an effective nudge” in Smith’s new study?A．The cognitive trait.B．The short video.C．The personality test.D．The negative stereotype.14．What conclusion can be drawn from the study?A．Videos reduce misinformation.B．Deepfakes may discredit truth.C．Misinformation causes dehumanization.D．Personality tests sharpen thinking skills.15．What might be the best title for the text?A．Battling Fake News B．Deepfakes in ElectionsC．The Spread of Misinformation D．Expanding Thinking Capacity第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

4. China is rich in culture ____________ natural resources.中国有丰富的文化和自然资源。
5. The island _________ that country, which is joined to the mainland by a bridge.这座岛属于那个国家, 它通过一座桥与大陆连接在一起。
二、阅读理解Ireland is throwing away peat(泥炭) for energy and turning to wind.Peat has a lot to recommend it. It sends off a pleasant smell when burned. It is a cheap source of energy; at its simplest it needs no more than digging by hand. But peat is also one of the dirtiest fuels available, emitting 23% more carbon dioxide than coal.Ireland is unusual among developed countries in burning it for energy. Peat has been used on the island for at least 1, 000 years. But it may at last be on its way out as Ireland turns to another energy source of which it has unlimited quantities: wind.Galway Wind Park will be Ireland ’s largest wind farm when it is completed, producing 169MW of power at peak capacity(容量), or about 3% of Ireland ’s average needs. It is only the latest development in Irish wind power, which has tripled in the last decade to more than 3GW of capacity. The renewable resource now provides a quarter of the electricity Ireland consumes every year.Eirgrid, a state-owned company which manages the grid(电网) in both Northern Ireland and the Republic, says much more wind capacity is in the planning stages. Wind is difficult tomanage because it is unpredictable, even on the shores with strong winds of western Ireland. Since wind turbines (涡轮机)do not turn consistently, the grid must be carefully tuned to keep it stable.Eirgrid is planning a set of wires to continental Europe.A report from SEAI, Ireland ’s energy authority, suggests that the island could produce enough wind electricity to match domestic demand by 2030, with more left over to export. Bord na Móna, the body responsible for developing Ireland ’s peatlands, has said it will stop using peat for electricity by the same year.1. Which of the following statements about peat is right?A. Peat is a cheap and clean source of energy with a pleasant smell.B. Peat in Ireland will be an export.C. Ireland will stop using peat as fuel.D. Peat is renewable and will never be used up.2. What is the greatest difficulty in using wind energy?A. The wind power is not strong enough.B. It is a high-cost project.C. The wind power is unstable.D. It won ’t produce enough electricity.3. What can be the best title for the passage?A. The Change of Using Energy in IrelandB. Stop Using Out-Of-Date EnergyC. Peat vs Wind PowerD. Ireland: A Country Using Wind Power三、阅读填句The District of Columbia is a destination filled with sites of historic and current importance.

People celebrate thecoming of summer with customs that areexpressions of joy and hope after a long winter. Today, May Day activities have been moved to the May Day holiday on the first Monday of the month. It is a public holiday when families take advantage of the time off to visit some of the UK’s many attractions, including parks, zoos, historic buildings, ancient towns and villages and beautiful countryside.May Day celebrations have their origins in the Roman festival of Flora, the goddess of fruit and flowers, which marked the beginning of summer. People would decorate their houses and villages with leaves and flowers they picked at daybreak in the belief that the vegetation spirits would bring good luck. In the very early morning, young girls went intothe fields and washed their faces with dew (露水). They believed this made them very beautiful for the following year.May Day was an important day in the Middle Ages and was a favorite holiday of many English villages. People of the time used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer. This is the origin of the maypole (五月柱). People danced around them in celebration of the end of winter. Maypoles were once common all over England and were kept from one year to the next. The tallest maypole is said to have been put up in London on the Strand in 1661. It stood more than 143 feet high and was cut down in 1717, when it was used by Newton to support a new reflecting telescope.1. How do British people celebrate May Day?A.

剖析本句中as为介词，意为“作为”。
归纳拓展as作为连词引导从句的用法：(1)引导时间状语从句，意为“当……时，随着……”。
(2)引导方式状语从句，意为“以……方式”。
(3)引导原因状语从句，意为“由于”。
(4)引导比较状语从句，多用于as ... as ...或not so/as ... as ...结构，前一个as是副词，后一个as是连词，它所引导的比较状语从句多使用省略形式。
(5)引导让步状语从句，从句必须用倒装的形式，倒装时将表语(单数可数名词作表语时要省略冠词)、状语、谓语动词提前。
另外：as也可用作关系代词引导定语从句，意为“正如，如同”。
①As you're not feeling well由于你身体不好，你可以留在家里。
②As_time_went_by,_she became more and more worried. 随着时间的流逝，她越来越担心。
③You must do everything as_I_do.你必须照我做的样子去做所有事。

⑤Child_as_he_was,_he knew what was the right thing to do.尽管他是个孩子，他却知道什么是该做的事情。
⑥As_was_expected,_he succeeded in passing the exam.正如所预料的那样，他成功通过了考试。

We had better hurry, ________________.②尽管我很尊敬他，我不能同意他对情况的分析。
Much _____________，I can't agree with his analysis of the situation.③据调查50%的病人没有遵照指示服药。

归纳拓展(1)allow ... to do ... 允许……做……(2)allow for sb./sth. 考虑到；估计到；把……计算在内(3)allow of sth. 容许；使有可能You never allow personal problems to affect your performance. 绝不要让个人问题影响你的表现。
