考点规范练11(必修3Unit1)

Ⅰ.阅读理解

Celebrations and traditions hold a special place in a country.It is a way for people to express themselves.Besides the national festivals and celebrations,many places enjoy some strange celebrations.Here are just four strange festivals:

Todd River Race

If you want something quieter,take a trip to Alice Springs in the dry heart of Australia.There you will find the Todd River Race in a riverbed that normally has no water.The boats are bottomless and without paddles,or motors.They are usually constructed from beer cans,which have been eagerly emptied by the boat builders.The teams run up the riverbed with their feet sticking out of the bottom of their boats.In 1993 the race was cancelled because of the threat of a once in a blue moon rainstorm.

Sauna(桑拿浴)Bathing Championships

If you prefer it hot,Finland is the place for you to compete in the Sauna Bathing Championships.Every 30 seconds the heat is turned up,but the contestants must keep their naked(赤裸的) bottoms firmly on the wooden seat,while remaining seated in an upright position.The last person left in the sauna is the winner.

The La Tomatina Festival

Every August thousands of Spaniards take part in the La Tomatina Festival in Buñol.Truckloads of tomatoes are pulled in each year and unloaded in the city centre.People throw tomatoes at each other for the whole day.The only rule is that the tomato must be flattened in the hand first,before being thrown.Even elderly grandmothers have been known to take part.

The Naked Festival

Japan hosts the Naked Festival.All male contestants are dressed in oversize diapers(纸尿裤) and parade through the winter streets.Bystanders throw cold water over the contestants,who drink a great amount of sake,a Japanese alcoholic drink made from rice,in an effort to stop them from freezing.

Some say festivals express something about the people who celebrate them.However,I think it is important as a universal community that we respect how and what others choose to celebrate,as each festival meets a particular need in the individuals of that country and becomes a part of their way of life.

1.The underlined part “once in a blue moon” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “”.

A.rare

B.timely

C.regular

D.seasonal

2.During the Naked Festival,contestants .

A.have to drink cold water

C.drink alcohol to keep warm

D.can eat rice given by bystanders

3.In the last paragraph,the author asks readers to .
