2022-2023热点时事话题阅读练习66专题(高考模拟+名校真题)专题43 饮食习俗Passage 1（2019·全国·高考真题）Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach’s Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e-book as she waits for her salad. What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel’s “me” time. And like more Americans, she’s not alone.A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America. More than half(53 percent) have breakfast alone and nearly half(46 percent) have lunch by themselves. Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore, 74 percent, according to statistics from the report.“I prefer to go out and be out. Alone, but together, you know?” Bechtel said, looking up from her book. Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk. A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder. She returns to work feeling energized. “Today, I just wanted some time to myself,” she said.Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar. He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he’s on a first-name basis if he wants to have a little interaction(交流). “I reflect on how my day’s gone and think about the rest of the week,” he said. “It’s a chance for self-reflection. You return to work recharged and with a plan.”That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone. There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over. Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table. “It doesn’t feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology,” said Laurie Demeritt, whose company provided the statistics for the report.1．What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about?A．Food variety.B．Eating habits.C．Table manners.D．Restaurant service.2．Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch?A．To meet with her coworkers.B．To catch up with her work.C．To have some time on her own.D．To collect data for her report.3．What do we know about Mazoleny?A．He makes videos for the bar.B．He’s fond of the food at the bar.C．He interviews customers at the bar.D．He’s familiar with the barkeeper.4．What is the text mainly about?A．The trend of having meals alone.B．The importance of self-reflection.C．The stress from working overtime.D．The advantage of wireless technology.Passage 2（2022·湖南·模拟预测）If you follow luxury resorts (度假地) or travel influencers on Instagram, odds are good that you’ve seen at least one “floating breakfast”.In case you’re not familiar with them, here’s what to know: they’re your typical hotel room service breakfast-think toast, fruit, coffee and the like — served in a pool instead of in bed. Usually, they’re placed on large plates or colorful baskets, then accessorized (配饰) with bright tropical flowers to make them even more photogenic.These breakfasts are particularly popular in Asia and the Pacific, especially at warm-weather private flat resorts in places like Thailand, Fiji and the Maldives.Nearly everyone agrees that the trend began in Bali, although no specific resort seems to get the credit for coming up with the idea first.While these breakfasts have become more common on resort menus over the last five years, the coronavirus pandemic has made them more popular than ever as hotel guests are avoiding buffets and public dining rooms.“Across the course of the past year, in-suite dining has become extremely popular, especially for those seeking comfort in the safety and their room,” Jann Hess, general manager at Amanjiwo in Bali. “The floating breakfast is a popular choice.”After all, the floating breakfast needs a pool to float in — and a private pool is a muchbetter choice than a shared pool where a splashing (飞溅的) kid might make the whole thing topple over.Though the gorgeous colors and dramatic plating of floating breakfasts make them perfect for social media, asking people to stand in the pool before they’ve fully woken up or had caffeine seems like a potential recipe for disaster.James Booth, a Sydney-based reporter, tells that, for him, the special meal worked better in concept. Though Booth had pre-scheduled a specific time for the breakfast to arrive, he ended up oversleeping about 20 minutes, meaning he’d missed the optimal window for consuming it.5．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A．What “floating breakfast” is like.B．Why “floating breakfast” is popular. C．What you should know in luxury resorts.D．How we can enjoy “floating breakfast”. 6．Why does the coronavirus pandemic make “floating breakfast” more popular?A．It provides a more healthy diet.B．People avoid meeting in groups.C．It saves a lot of money to eat out.D．People wants to try the new trend. 7．What does the underlined word “optimal” in the last paragraph mean?A．Small.B．Broad.C．Open.D．Most ideal. 8．What is a suitable title for the text?A．How floating breakfast develops B．Two sides of floating breakfast C．Floating breakfast, a popular trend D．Reasons why floating breakfast comes upPassage 3（2021·福建厦门·三模）When you think of Chinese food in the U.S., fried rice, or General Tso’s chicken may first come to mind. But a new museum exhibition in New York City is trying to expand visitors’ palates (味蕾). It features stories of famous cooks like Martin Yan and home cooks whose food represents18 different regional cooking styles of China.“I think it’s unfair to just classify Chinese cooking as one,” says Kian Lam Kho, a co- curator (策展人) of “Sour, Sweet, Bitter, Spicy: Stories of Chinese Food and Identity in America” at the Museum of Chinese in America.“Even with the same dish or same cuisine, every family has a different variation." That’s why the curators say if you want to taste the full range of Chinese cuisine in the U.S, you’ll need to go beyond restaurants and into homekitchens, which can play a central role in many immigrants’ lives.“The kitchen itself is kind of a comfort when you come to a new country. That’s the one place where you set up as your home base, and you cook things that you remember from your past,” explains co-curator Audra Ang.One of the home cooks showcased in the exhibition is Ni Biying, 80, of Manhattan. She worked as a live-in babysitter for years before she could finally afford to rent a home with her own kitchen. These days, you can usually find her moving around her one-bedroom apartment as a sweet smell of vinegar and rice wine floats from her stove. For Ni, a small dinner for friends and family means preparing almost a dozen different dishes. She learned some of her techniques from her father, who made most of her family’ s meals when she was a child.“I still make the beef with stir-fried celery my father used to cook," she says. And it’s the kind of comfort food that defines Chinese food for Ni.9．What is the new museum exhibition mainly about?A．Stories of Chinese food and cooks.B．Exploration of famous restaurants. C．History of Chinese immigration.D．Cuisine of different countries. 10．Why does the kitchen play a key role in many immigrants’ lives?A．It provides a wealthy life.B．It helps them to accept new cultures. C．It brings a sense of belonging.D．It enables them to forget the past. 11．What can we learn about Ni Biying from paragraph 4?A．She worked in a Chinese restaurant.B．She made most meals as a child. C．She learned cooking from her father.D．She lives with a big family. 12．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Chinese Restaurant Tells Immigrant TalesB．Home Cooking Brings More to the TableC．Immigrants Seek their Fortune in the U.S.D．Cuisine Gains New VariationsPassage 4（2021·江苏连云港·二模）A short cooking video posted by a netizen on Tiktok has recently become a popular hit on the site. Bearing the tag “Chinese food”, the video not only showed off the chief’s superb skills in making Chinese dishes, but it also got netizens abroad wanting to get a taste of China’s unique food culture.Although the video was nothing master-level, just a rather standard homemade friedpotato dish, it received more than 200,000 likes after only three days of posting. In addition to praising the chef, commenters wondered why such a simple Chinese dish could look like a fancy cuisine that had been made through tons of effort. “Even the most basic Chinese dish needs to have three elements: color, smell and taste. For example, color not only requires a chef to have sharp eyes, but also valuable experience,” said Wang, an experienced Chinese chef in Guangzhou.Chinese cooking is not the only type of content covered by the tag. Other popular videos under the tag include “odd food” challenges, traditional Chinese dishes and Chinese snack tasting, the latter of which has become particularly popular among young omnivore vloggers (video bloggers)living in a world of continually expanding cultural globalization.“I have been a fan of Chinese food ever since my Chinese friend cooked me di san xian at university. I was surprised by the dish’s taste and its look, which was very different from my home food, but felt it was very familiar to me because I noticed we share similar cooking skills,” said Bianca, an Italian Asian food fan.“I started my channel by recording my roommate tasting my cooking. These videos got likes and comments gradually. Seeing some people commenting in German or English and saying ‘I want to try it’, I felt these videos can narrow the gap between the two cultures,” said Mr. Bear, a vlogger on Bilibili who promotes Chinese cooking.13．What does the underlined word “omnivore” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．People eating meat.B．People eating vegetables.C．People eating diverse food.D．People eating Chinese food.14．What does Bianca think of Chinese food?A．Common and dear.B．Special and familiar.C．Weird and delicious.D．Similar and disconnected.15．What does Mr. Bear mean in the last paragraph?A．The majority of his fans tasted the food he cooked.B．His roommate encouraged him to cook Chinese food.C．He is an expert determined to become a Chinese chef.D．His videos make a difference to cultural communication.16．What can we learn from the passage?A．Chinese culture has aroused people’s interest overseas.B．The video is more master-level than a standard homemade.C．Basic Chinese dish has three elements: color, smell and taste.D．Chinese cooking has become popular among young vloggers.Passage 5（2021·山东青岛·一模）For many Chinese consumers, a satisfying breakfast is one that includes either hot porridge or steamed buns. Cold sandwiches, which are usually popular with Westerners, are probably one of the last options on their minds. But that is not to say that consumers, especially those in an international city like Shanghai, would avoid everything considered Western for breakfast. For instance, coffee, which has steadily grown in popularity in the country, is one drink that many cannot do without today.To satisfy this growing demand for breakfast sets that combine elements from the East and the West, food companies have been rolling out a host of new offerings to attract the customer. One example is Shanghai Qiao Coffee, which was launched by local time-honored food company Qiaojiashan at the end of 2019. Apart from its traditional dim sum, the store also sells various types of coffee.According to Shen Yan, deputy manager of Shanghai Qiaojiashan Food Development Cold, the most popular breakfast set at the moment is the steamed vegetable bun paired with black coffee. “The calories that one gets from a meal featuring Chinese dim sum and coffee are less than those of a Western breakfast. Since a steamed bun has nearly 200 calories and a cup of black coffee barely has any calories, this combination can be considered healthy and delicious," said Shen.Even the smaller shoppers in the food scene are jumping on the East-West breakfast trend. Western food establishments, too, have been rolling out Chinese breakfast options. "Consumers and even cultural heritage will also benefit from the increased competition. If not for the current trend which has revived interest in certain traditional dim sum, these foods could soon be lost to history," Shen said.17．What can we leant about breakfast in Shanghai in paragraph!?A．People prefer porridge and steamed buns.B．Cold sandwiches are a popular choice. C．People avoid western food for breakfast.D．Coffee is a must for many people.18．Why does the set of the steamed vegetable bun with black coffee sell well? A．Because it's newly launched.B．Because it contains more vegetables. C．Because it's traditional.D．Because it's tasty and healthy. 19．What can we learn from Shen's words in the last paragraph?A．The competition for breakfast sets is of no benefit to consumers.B．Only big companies have the ability to seize the market share.C．Western food companies don't care about East-West breakfast.D．Some traditional foods might disappear without the combination trend.20．What docs the author intend to tell us?A．Chinese consumers show more interest in western food.B．Western breakfast is warmly welcomed by Shanghai people.C．The Chinese-Western breakfast set is becoming a hit in Shanghai.D．Shanghai Qiao Coffee has won great success for its breakfast sets.Passage 6（2021·江苏·盐城中学二模）I told my husband the topic of this essay and asked him, “As a British person, why do the British like tea?”His answer was, “Tea fixes everything."For the British, tea is a substitute for emotions. The money that an American would dedicate to counseling or therapy to deal with childhood trauma (创伤），the British instead spend on tea bags, tea pots, tea cups and tea towels.Tea is the only outlet that the British have for strong emotion, outside of football teams and alcohol. If your co-workers annoy you, you can't very well get drunk to cope with it, so tea is the substitute. The ceremony of boiling water and adding sugar and milk in a specific order based on religiously-held personal preferences is calming and allows the type of repetitive action that comforts the British mind and helps them to suppress their feelings. Calmly sipping a cup of hot tea is a proper therapeutic and British way of dealing with emotion. If someone starts to get angry at you or if they express sadness or another emotion that is uncomfortable to deal with, rather than talking about it, a British person will put the kettle on. It is a convenient way of changing the subject to one that all British people can agree on: tea.I am married to a British man, and we have never had an argument that didn't end in him offering to make a cup of tea. I've never entered a British house without receiving an offer of tea. Tea is social bonding. If you reject tea, you are rejecting Britain. For the British, the ideaof not wanting tea is nearly incomprehensible. For the British, if you don't want tea, you don't want life. They really believe that tea fixes everything.21．What will he do if a British man gets angry?A．He will drown his anger in tea.B．He will keep his anger in mind.C．He will go to the pub for a drink.D．He will express his anger directly.22．Why does the British like tea so much?A．They like the taste of it.B．It's a way of killing time.C．It helps them to calm down.D．The tea boiling ceremony is a pleasure.23．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Tea helps the British to socialize.B．Tea costs the British too much time.C．You can reject the offered tea in Britain.D．The author never argued with her husband.24．What's the main purpose of the author?A．Her family life in Britain.B．Why the British like tea.C．How the British drink tea.D．Her husband's love for tea.Passage 7（2021·湖北·湘潭县一中模拟预测）We love food and drink. We love to celebrate the good stuff and criticize the bad. This is our take on the top three food cultures and destinations. It’s time to find out once and for all, which cuisine is king as you plan where you’ll travel next:No. 3 FranceYou can spend an entire two-week vacation exploring combinations of wines and cheeses around the country.YumEscargot — credit the French for turning garden-dwelling pests into a delicacy.Massive respect for making them taste amazing too.Baguette — the first and last thing that you’ll want to eat in France. The first bite is superb; the last will be full of longing.DumbFoie gras — it tastes like 10,000 ducks roasted in butter then reduced to a velvet pudding.No. 2 ChinaThe people who greet each other with “Have you eaten yet?” are arguably the most food-obsessed in the world.

In the first two scenes, participants were given a sugary drink upon waking-first from a normal night's sleep, and then again after a poor night's sleep during which they were woken up for five minutes every hour. In the third, their sleep was similarly disrupted, but they were given a strong black coffee 30 minutes before consuming the sugary drink.Blood samples from participants were taken following the sugary drink, which mirrored the calories of a typical breakfast, in each experiment. Results showed that one night of disrupted sleep did not worsen the participants' blood sugar responses at breakfast when compared to a normal night of sleep. However, strong black coffee consumed before breakfast in-creased the blood sugar response by around 50 percent.By drinking such kind of drink after breakfast, UK researchers found that our bodies' ability to break down our food healthily is completely improved. Examining the effects of bro-ken sleep and. morning coffee across a range of different metabolic markers, scientists at the University of Bath found that, while one night of poor sleep had a limited effect on metabolism, drinking coffee before breakfast could have a negative effect on blood sugar control.“We know that nearly half of us will wake in the morning and, before doing anything else, drink coffee—the more tired we feel, the stronger the coffee is. This study is important and has far-reaching health influences, and it indeed moves some coffee drinkers' heartstrings. As up to now we have had limited knowledge about what this is doing to our bodies, in particular for our metabolic and blood sugar control, so we have a long way to go.” said Professor James Betts, co-director of the Centre for Nutrition, Exercise and Metabolism at the University of Bath.28．How did UK researchers get the result of the experiment?A．By assumption.B．By making comparisons.C．By questionnaire.D．By consulting journals.29．What can we learn from the experiment?A．One night of poor sleep surely affects blood sugar.B．Drinking coffee after breakfast does harm to health.C．Having strong drinks has a good effect on metabolism.D．Drinking coffee at different time has different effects on health. 30．What does James Betts think of the study?A．It makes no sense.B．It is limited and blind. C．It remains to be continued.D．It is particular and explicit. 31．What can be the best title for the text?A．How. Much Coffee to Drink MattersB．Does Coffee Really Wake Up an Appetite?C．Drinking Coffee before Breakfast Harms MetabolismD．How Does Drinking Black Coffee Affect People's Sleep?参考答案：1．B2．C3．D4．A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。

【英语】高考英语阅读理解(社会文化)专项训练及答案一、高中英语阅读理解社会文化类1．阅读理解Theaters of the PastThe Greek TheaterTheaters developed in many parts of Greece. Ancient Greek theaters were built in natural open air sites on conveniently shaped hills. This allowed a great mass of people to enjoy a show at a time. Due to this, actors placed emphasis on exaggerated (夸张的) action and speech. And, colorful symbolic masks and costumes were used.The Medieval TheaterThe Medieval theater started in churches. That's why medieval plays were about Bible stories. At first, it became a custom for priests (牧师) to act out brief scenes during Christmas and Easter. These acts attracted large crowds. Finally the church refused to allow priests to participate in any such events again, so ordinary people began these performances outside. Performances were set in the town square, with several stage settings around it.The Elizabethan TheaterThe England's theater developed rapidly in the years following the defeat of the Spanish Navy. The dominant feature of Elizabethan theater was the stage. It has three parts: The fore stage for outside scenes; the inner stage for scenes inside a building; an upper stage or balcony for various purposes. The reason for this design is that there were no scene changes, or breaks during the play. Very little scenery was used, so the actors had to create a scene through their voices and dialogues. This led to a more poetic script, and poets became the main source of script writing.The Restoration TheaterSome of the plays told sad stories, but the majority of the plays were really funny. Many specialized machines were used to create the scene. The stage was a very clever idea , in that on the sides of the stage large back shutters (百叶窗) were painted with the scene.（1）Why were ancient Greek theaters built on hills?A.To hold a large audience.B.To build a big and strong stage.C.To have a better sound effect.D.To emphasize exaggerated performances.（2）In which theater could actors' voices and speech help create scenes?A.The Greek Theater.B.The Medieval Theater.C.The Elizabethan Theater.D.The Restoration Theater.（3）What is special about the Restoration Theater?A.Colorful masks were used.B.The stage was smartly designed.C.Most of its plays were sorrowful.D.Ordinary people were the performers.【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了四个古代的剧院。

精编优选练(三十二)中华传统文化语篇专题——阅读理解1(限时：30分钟)AThere are mainly four great traditional cuisines that are viewed as representatives of Chinese culinary (烹饪的) skills.ShandongIt is all about local, fresh ingredients and the stars are the seafood, including scallops, prawns, clams, sea cucumbers, and squid. Other commonly used ingredients include maize, peanuts, millet, wheat, oat, and a distinct type of vinegar. Quick­fried, stir­fried, stewed and braised items are among the more than thirty cooking techniques of Shandong cuisine.GuangdongAuthentic Cantonese cuisine is among the most adventurous in China in terms of variety of ingredients as the Cantonese are famous, even among the Chinese, for their extremely wide definition of what is considered edible (可食用的). Sauces, like hoisin, oyster sauce, sweet and sour sauce are predominant in Cantonese cuisine which produces light, sweet, tender and crisp dishes.SichuanSaying Sichuan cuisine is hot and spicy is an understatement. Mouth­numbing (麻嘴的) and sw eat­inducing, one can easily become addicted to the Sichuan peppercorns and dry peppers. Also sweat­inducing but in a different way is the Sichuan (as well as Chongqing) hotpot—perfect for the winter yet beloved by locals in the summer. The uniqueness of its cuisine also resides in its two cooking methods, the dry­braising (焖) and the dry­stewing.HuaiyangConsidered a sub­regional style of the Jiangsu region, which also claims Shanghai and Hangzhou cuisine as descendants, Huaiyang cuisine is renowned for the delicateness of the dishes as well as the liberal use of sugar. Chefs of Huaiyangcuisine are more concerned with the presentation of the dishes as opposed to the “large plate contains everything” mentality typical of northern Chinese cuisine. Representative dishes include tofu noodles, Beggar's Chicken, congee, Yangzhou fried rice and braised meatballs.Another standout is the crab soup dumplings.[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国四大传统烹饪技术。

2021年高考——英语阅读理解专项训练专项练习附答案一、高考英语阅读理解专项训练1．阅读理解When HarmonyOs, the Chinese self-developed operating system for Huawei mobile devices, was released on Aug 9, it quickly became a hot topic on social media. Many believe it not only represents the rise of the country as a tech power, but also shows respect to classical Chinese culture by naming the system "Hongmcng" in Chinese."Hongmeng" is a classical word from Zhuangzi. In the ancient times of Chinese legend and myths (神话),"Hongmeng" was used to describe the original state of the universe before matter existed. For HarmonyOS, "Hongmeng" indicates the developers' aim to make an innovative operating system, unlike any other.Besides "Hongmeng'", Hunwei has also registered many of its products under the names of legendary creatures from Chinese myths. For example, the company's Kirin mobile chip got its name after a lucky monster called "Qilin". And its server chip is calked "Kunpeng", a creature that changed from a fish into a giant bird.Many Chinese Internet users and media have praised Huawei's use of these names," as they stand for Chinese wisdom and ancient people's imagination and spirit of exploration", Global Times noted.In fact, Huawei is not alone in using traditional culture for modern ventures. Ne Zha, the new film, also portrays traditional culture in a modern context. The movie is loosely based on the well-known work of classical Chinese myth The Investiture of the Gods. Earlier this month it became the biggest animated movie in China and was called "the glory of domestic anime (国产动漫)".Indeed, the long history and splendid classic works have given China a profound culture. Myths and legends are the creative works of tremendous imagination. As Global Times put it, today by revisiting a modern context, "ancient myths has the power to inspire imagination in young people". After all, imagination is the beginning of creation.（1）What do we know about HamonyOS?A. Its release raised a storm of objections.B. It is named after creature in myth.C. It combines high technology and culture.D. It's the best operating system.（2）Which of the following best explains "innovative" underlined in Paragraph 2?A. creativeB. modernC. popularD. intelligent（3）How do the public think of Huawei's use of the names?A. Confused.B. Unexpected.C. Approving.D. Doubtful.（4）What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A. The film Ne Zha is not adapted from myths.B. The film Ne Zha is a big hit.C. More businesses follow Huawei's lead.D. Ancient myths is a good choice for entertainment.【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）C（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，中国自主研发的华为移动设备被命名为"Hongmeng"，体现了现代技术和中国文化的结合。

高中英语阅读理解专项训练100及答案一、高考英语阅读理解专项训练1．阅读理解It's no surprise to hear the honking of horns in New York. Whoever tries every day to get more than a few minutes of sleep in the morning in the city will tell you that he could do nothing about it! No one can deny honking of horns is just one of his most widely enjoyed pastimes.But Andy, a Japanese website developer has had enough of it. Once, the 27-year-old man approached the open window to wait for the driver to finish honking, delivered a polite "excuse me" and then yelled "Ho-o-o-o-onk!", which means fierce anger in Japan. Then he threw three eggs from the window of his apartment on to a passing car honking loudly below when his patience was worn out. Instead of apologizing to him, the driver threatened to kill him angrily. So, nobly, Andy turned to non-violence. He started writing anti-honking haiku verses, a form of Japanese poetry, and submitted them to local newspapers:Oh. forget Enron;The problem around here is; All the damn honking (Enron: a major American company that recently caused a scandal because of corrupt(腐败) mismanagement)"Then this kind of chain reaction started happening," Andy says. "All these other haiku started appearing unexpectedly" Andy's community is now covered in anti - honking poetry, written by all walks of life.Patience slowly fades;Residents store up their eggs; That day is coming soon.It's understandable that Andy has set up a website — — and now people from across the country send him news of their own anti - honking activities. It seems that poetry can change the world after all. Then, just recently, anti-anti- honking haiku started to appear, launched by locals who thought Andy should stop worrying about honking and start worrying about starving children, or war in the Middle East instead. Andy has an answer for that. "Stop me if this is too ridiculous," he says, "but they talk about the violence in the Middle East like it's a force of nature, like it's beyond our control. But actually it's kind of like the honking - the violence is man -made. If we can figure out how to stop honking on the streets, I think we could learn some things that we could use on a large scale."（1）What does the first paragraph intend to tell us about New Yorkers?A. They enjoy listening to the honking of horns.B. Their life has been affected by the honking noise.C. They get accustomed to sleeping late in the morning.D. They have formed a habit of honking while driving.（2）What is Andy's final reaction to the frequent honking of horns?A. Pretended to ignore it.B. Screamed at the driver.C. Acted in a peaceful way.D. Complained to the government.（3）According to the passage, most New Yorkers think Andy's response is______.A. acceptableB. pointlessC. sensitiveD. abnormal（4）Facing the criticism of his anti-honking campaign, Andy notes that______.A. if not handled well, honking will cause serious problems like starvationB. fierce violence in the Middle East is more of an issue worthy of concernC. violence in the world as well as honking on the street is under our controlD. finding the solution to anti - honking is as meaningful as that to starvation【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了纽约的汽车喇叭声严重影响了人们的生活，一个日本人对此做出了很大的挣扎，从激烈对抗到写打油诗的非暴力反抗，以及纽约当地人对此的反映。

In the United States Monday is the beginning of the workweek; it is the day most Americans like least. It is not surprising then that the day they like most is Saturday. Saturday is the end of the workweek and the beginning of the weekend.Life is different on the weekend; most Americans take care of their house,car or garden. They sleep till late in the morning. They enjoy the feeling thatthe time seems to move more slowly. The week is for things you have to do;the weekend is for things you want to do. Some people may get in a car andgo for a drive in the country. They like to take part in a sports activityoutdoors. And on Saturday night they might go to a public eating place or amovie.The idea of the weekend is a recent invention. In the 1870s wealthy people began to speak of spending weekends in the country visiting friends. For most people back then, however, the workday was six days long. It ended at about noon or later on Saturday.Automobile maker Henry Ford was the first major employer in the United States to establish (设立)a workweek of 5 days. He did that in 1926. Henry Ford thought that if the working people had more free time they would spend more money, which is good for the economy. By 1940 it had become common for most Americans to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Today the lives of most Americans are organized that way: 5 days of work or school followed by 2 days of rest. For many people Saturday night is the highpoint of the weekend and the week. It is the night for going out and having fun.Many people spend the Saturday night at home with friends. They have dinner together. Perhaps they watch amovie on a video cassette recorder. Other people go on a date. A date usually involves (牵涉) two people. People on a date might go to a public concert, yet they talk only to each other.Is there anything people do not like about the weekend? A study of 1,000 Americans found that half would gladly trade a paid workday for an extra day of free time. The only thing wrong with the weekend, they think, is that it does not last longer.

Talking about eating habit, unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. If treated by a Chinese host, be prepared for a ton of food. Chinese are very proud of their culture of preparing food and will do their best to show their friendliness.And sometimes the host will serve some dishes with his or her ownchopsticks to guests. This is a sign of politeness. The appropriate thing to dowould be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how delicious it is. If you feeluncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite "thank you" and leave the food there. There are some other rules that are suggested you follow to make your stay in China happier, though you will be forgiven if you have no idea of what they are.1. Never stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl; lay them on your dish instead. Otherwise, it is thought extremely impolite to the host and seniors present. The reason for this is that it seems to wish death upon a person at the table.2. Make sure the mouth of the teapot is not facing anyone, which meansthey are not popular. The mouth should always be directed to where nobodyis sitting, usually just outward from the table.3. Don't tap on your bowl with your chopsticks, since that will beconsidered offending to the host or the chef. Beggars tap on their bowls, andalso, when the food is coming too slow in a restaurant, people will tap their bowls. If you are in someone's home, it seems like hurting the feelings of the host or the cook.4. Never try to turn a fish over and remove its bones yourself, since the separation of the fish bones from thelower half of the flesh will usually be performed by the host or a waiter.

themes of a happy holiday.The researchers found through Black Friday people celebrate，plan，bond，and build traditions together.For me my Black Friday always begins and ends on a living room floor littered with newspaper ads.There，late on Thanksgiving night，my family collectively holds a strategy ter，we race to early bird specials，wait with strangers in lines sharing stories of past Black Fridays，take a long relaxing lunch full of family banter(戏谑)，get Christmas decorations，stop into a Cheesecake Factory bar to see the dramatic end of a football game，get a caffeine­high from Starbucks Christmas drinks，and end the shopping at a torn apart Old Navy(美国服装品牌)，digging to find late available basics like socks.Finally，exhausted but contented，we collapse back on that living room floor，still littered with ads，where we drink hot cocoa，watch a Christmas movie，and plan to hang the new decorations.This is not to say that Black Friday is always lovely.Instead，it’s often miserable.But the misery is sort of what makes Black Friday such a great tradition.Many Black Friday shoppers know that the deals on Black Friday are not especially great and are available online.But they did not show up for the deals，they showed for the “misery”．For them the crowds，the rush，and the difficulty all enhance(提升) Black Friday—similar to the way crowds enhance movie opening nights，the rush enhances music festivals，and difficulty enhances the experience of camping for other types of people.Those crazy elements transform the events into what consumer researchers call a “collectible experience”．Collectible experiences are not always pleasant but they are memorable and meaningful to those games for them.There seems to be a mad rush in the media to analyze Black Friday.Yet，every analysis misses the point that Black Friday，which though on the surface seems like just evil consumerism，is actually，for some，quite a meaningful，ritualistic(例行的) experience.Maybe this happy holiday is not for you.Maybe you think it is silly or even disgusting that Americans choose to bond through，over all other options，shopping.But what you cannot deny is that Black_Friday_has_become_something_bigger_than_deals.It has become a part of a collective and personal culture，where many shoppers are not trying to avoid the trouble and craziness of the day；instead，they are trying tostrategically and happily dive into it.And，right now，on living room floors all across America，families are planning how to get the most out of their yearly ritual.1．Which of the following does NOT belong to a “collectible experience”？A．Waiting with strangers in lines.B．Racing to early bird specials.C．Digging to find commodities.D．Transforming crazy elements.2．By saying “Black Friday has become something bigger than deals”，the author means Black Friday ________.A．would be enjoyed more if it were less commercialB．is a great chance to feel comfort able and relaxedC．is a miserable，meaningful and traditional experienceD．undergoes a comprehensive evaluation from the media3．What could be the best title of the passage?A．A Loving Defense of Black FridayB．An Introduction to Black FridayC．Widespread Criticism of Black FridayD．Fantastic Experience of Black FridayⅡ.任务型阅读Age has its privileges in America，and one of the more important of them is the senior citizen discount.Anyone who has reached a certain age—in some cases as low as 55—is automatically entitled to dazzling array of price reductions at nearly every level of commercial life.Eligibility(资格) is determined not by one’s need but by the date on one’s birth certificate.Practically unheard of a generation ago，the discounts have become a routinepart of many businesses—as common as color televisions in motel rooms and free coffee on airliners.People with gray hair often are given the discounts without even asking for them；yet，millions of Americans above age 60 are healthy and solvent(有支付能力的)．Businesses that would never dare offer discounts to college students or anyoneunder 30 freely offer them to older Americans.The practice is acceptable because of the widespread belief that “elderly” and “needy” are synonymous(同义的)．Perhaps that once was true，but today elderly Americans as a group have a lower poverty rate than the rest of the population.To be sure，there is economic diversity within the elderly，and many older Americans are poor.But most of them aren’t.It is impossible to determine the impact of the discounts on individual companies.For many firms，they are a stimulus to revenue.But in other cases the discounts are given at the expense, directly or indirectly，of younger Americans.Moreover，they are a direct irritant(刺激物) in what some politicians and scholars see as a coming conflict between the generations.Generational tensions are being fueled by continuing debate over Social Security benefits，which mostly involve a transfer of resources from the young to the old.Employment is another sore point.Supported by laws and court decisions，more and more older Americans are declining the retirement dinner in favor of staying on the job—thereby lessening employment and promotion opportunities for younger workers.Far from a kind of charity they once were，senior citizen discounts have become a formidable economic privilege to a group with millions of membe rs who don’t need them.It no longer makes sense to treat the elderly as a single group whose economic needs deserve priority over those of others.Senior citizen discounts only enhance the myth that older people can’t take care of themselves and need speci al treatment；and they threaten the creation of a new myth，that the elderly are ungrateful and taking for themselves at the expense of children and other age groups.Senior citizen discounts are the essence of the very thing older Americans are fighting against—discrimination by age.答案精析第23练文化习俗类高考高频单词与短语识记排查跟踪训练Ⅰ.1.particularly 2.Typically 3.fascinating 4.religion5．cooperateⅡ.6.A [句意为：将来有一天，我们也可能以残疾而告终，因此我们不应看不起残疾人。

清明节的由来、传统的习俗和美食你都知道吗？会用英文表达吗？清明时节雨纷纷，路上行人欲断魂。

这首诗相信大家都很熟悉，讲的就是清明。

清明是我国的二十四节气之一，同时也是一个重要的传统节日——清明节。

4月5日就是清明节了。

有的同学可能会问了，清明是什么意思？清明是“气清景明，万物皆显”的意思。

光绪年间的《岁时百问》中提到：“万物生长此时，皆清洁而明净。

故谓之清明。

”清明节又叫扫墓节或踏青节。

顾名思义，这天是用来扫墓和踏青的。

在我们的传统印象里，清明节似乎仅仅是用来祭奠逝者的，其实不然，这天还有很多其他的活动，而且也有很多节日的美食，让我们一起来看看吧！The Qingming Festival清明节The Qingming Festival (or Tomb Sweeping Day) is a traditional Chinese festival.It is observed on the first day of the Qingming(or Clear and Bright) solar term. It usually falls on either April 4th or 5th of the Gregorian calendar.清明节（也叫扫墓节）是中国的传统节日，人们是在清明节气的头天过这个节日，通常是在公历的4月4日或5日。

tomb[tuːm] n [C] 坟墓observe[əbˈzɜːv]vt奉行（宗教或习俗）；庆祝solar term节气Qingming is the fifth of the 24 solar terms. Qingming,literally meaning “clear and bright”,originated from an old saying:“Plants start to revive and prosper at Qingming in a clean and bright way.Thus, it is called Qingming.”Qingming solar term can be divided into three pentads.

高考英语阅读理解含译文翻译七夕节农历七月初七是中国的七夕节，七夕节源自牛郎与织女的传说，相传牛郎和织女相爱并结为夫妻，后来被王母娘娘拆散。

但是，王母娘娘被牛郎织女的爱情感动，因此允许他们在每年的农历七月初七相会。

July 7 on the lunar calendar is the Chinese Qixi Festival, or the Double Seventh Festival. The Qixi Festival originated from the legendary story of Niu Lang, a cowherd, and Zhi Nv, a weaving maid. Legend has it that Niu Lang and Zhi Nv fell in love and got married, only to be separated by the Goddess of Heaven. However, she was so touched by their love for each other that she allowed them to meet on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month every year.cowherd n.a hired hand who tends cattle and performs other duties on horseback牧牛者maid noun (old use)· a young woman who is not married·少女；年轻姑娘；未婚年轻女子“农历七月初七”此处译为了July 7 on the lunar calendar ，对比前一篇《端午节》，农历七月初七→七月初七就是第七个月的第七天，还可译为the seventh day of the seventh month on the lunar calendar，或者是the seventh day of the seventh lunar month，下文中也有出现。

高考英语拓展阅读今日腊八节“腊八”和相关习俗英语怎么说“腊八，腊八，冻掉下巴”，这句俗语相信大家都听说过。

今天是农历腊月初八，被认为是一年中最冷的一天，也是我们中国特有的一个传统节日——腊八节。

今天和同学们分享一些关于腊八的英文小知识。

腊八用英语怎么说？The 12th lunar month in Chinese is called la yue, so the eighth day of this lunar month is la yue chu ba, or laba.“腊八”一般可以直接用拼音“Laba”来表示，后面进一步说明这一天是农历十二月初八（the eighth day of the 12th lunar month）即可。

The day is also known as the Laba Rice Porridge Festival. The Laba this year falls on Jan 10.因为腊八节有喝腊八粥（Laba rice porridge）的传统，所以也可以简单介绍说这天又称the Laba Rice Porridge Festival。

节俗（Festival Custom）There is an old saying: Don’t make your mouth water children, because the Laba Festival and the Spring Festival are just around the corner.俗话说：“小孩小孩你别馋，过了腊八就是年。

”Laba is celebrated on the eighth day of the last lunar month, referring to the traditional start of celebrations for the Chinese New Year. “La” in Chinese means the 12th lunar month, and “ba” means eight.腊八节是农历十二月初八，这一天象征着庆祝中国传统新春佳节的开始。
