用适当的词句补全课文
WHY DO WE CELEBRATE FESTIVALS?
Festivals are celebrated all around the world. They have a wide range① of origins②, such as the seasons of the year, religions, famous figures, and important events. Every festival has its different customs and unique charms. However, no matter how different they may seem, all over the world, the spirit of sharing joy, gratitude, love, or peace is common in all festivals③. 
[文本解读]本段简述了节日是全世界普遍存在的文化现象。第一句点明本段主旨,紧接着解释节日五花八门的由来。“However”一词的出现,将前一句阐述不同节日的个性过渡到阐述节日的共性,对文章题目进行了隐含的阐释和回答。其中no matter how 的使用加强了语气,更加突出了不同的节日所包含的人类情感是普遍存在的。作者用a wide range of 形象地说明了节日起源的丰富性。本段使用修饰词famous,important和unique,吸引读者的注意力。文本还自然融入了本单元的目标语言结构——动词-ing形式,sharing在句中作介词 of的宾语。

我们为什么庆祝节日?
　　世界各地都庆祝各种节日。节日的由来②五花八门①,比如时节、宗教、著名人物及重大事件。每个节日都有它不同的风俗和独特的魅力。然而,无论节日多么迥异,在世界各地,分享快乐、感恩、友爱或和平的精神存在于所有节日之中③。
　　Of all the traditional festivals, the harvest festival can be found in almost every culture. This important agricultural festival takes place after all the crops have been gathered④ in. People celebrate to show that they are grateful⑤ for the year's supply of food. In ancient Egypt, the harvest festival was celebrated during the springtime—the Egyptian harvest season. It featured a parade and a great feast with music, dancing, and sports⑥. Today, in some European countries, people decorate⑦ churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and get together to celebrate over a meal. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in China, families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes. 
[文本解读]本段以传统节日中的丰收节为例,介绍此节日几乎存在于每一种文化之中。第一句是本段的主旨句;第二句介绍了庆祝丰收节的时间;第三句解释了庆祝此节日的共同理由,是丰收节的普遍性,亦是对文章题目的回答;最后,以列举不同国家的不同庆祝方式结束,体现了此节日在不同地区的独特性。本段结构简单清晰,从共性到个性,仔细体会,能发现不同文化背景下共同的愿景: 人们都会以庆祝丰收节来表达收获的喜悦,创造家庭欢聚的机会,感恩大自然的馈赠,而这也是对第一段最后一句的呼应。本段被动结构的灵活运用使表达更加自然流畅。本单元的目标语言结构——动词-ing形式的shining在句中作定语修饰moon。
　　在所有的传统节日中,丰收节几乎可见于每一种文化之中。这一重大的农业节日在庄稼全部收割④ 后来临。人们举行庆祝活动,对这一年收获的食物表达感恩⑤ 。在古埃及,人们于春季(即埃及的丰收季)庆祝丰收节。庆祝活动主要是游行和丰盛的筵席,载歌载舞,并伴有体育活动⑥。如今,在一些欧洲国家,人们用鲜花和水果装饰⑦ 教堂和市政厅,聚在一起共享大餐,以示庆祝。在中国的中秋节,家家户户欢聚一堂,观赏明月,品尝美味的月饼。
　　Customs play a significant⑧ role in festivals, but sometimes they can change over time. With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas, some traditions may fade away⑨ and others may be established. One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year. Nowadays, many big cities have given up this custom in order to avoid air pollution. Another example is Halloween, which slowly became an exciting festival for children, in spite of its religious origins⑩. 
　　[文本解读]本段以节日中的习俗为落脚点,介绍了有些节日习俗会随着时间的流逝而逐渐消失。第一句点明主旨,第二句给出变化的原因,紧接着以中国的春节和西方的万圣节的习俗的变化为例,对前两句进行论证。不同节日习俗的变化,表达着人们对节日新的习俗和意义的共同追求, 这也是节日得以延续的原因之一,至此,对题目中的问题进行了另一层面的回答。两个例子中“Nowadays”“given up”“slowly”和“became”的使用,恰当地诠释了主旨句中的“change over time”。which引导的非限制性定语从句简洁明了地介绍了孩子们喜爱的节日Halloween。本单元的目标语言结构——动词-ing形式的lighting和exciting在句中分别作介词of的宾语和festival的定语。
　　风俗在节日中扮演重要⑧ 角色,但有时也随时间而变化。随着现代社会的发展和新思想的传播,有些传统会渐渐消失⑨,而另一些传统则得以建立。中国春节燃放鞭炮以驱鬼神、贺新年这一典型风俗就是一个例子。如今,为了避免空气污染,许多大城市已经摒弃了这一风俗。另一个例子是万圣节,虽然起源于宗教,万圣节却渐渐成了孩子们纵情玩乐的一个节日⑩。
　　Festivals are becoming more and more commercial, with businesses taking advantage of⑪ the celebrations. Online shopping websites and social media apps have made it much easier for the public to spend more on gifts for their loved ones ⑫. Although some believe festivals should not be commercialised, others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy and public happiness. 
　　[文本解读]本段承接第三段中的“change”一词,介绍了如今的节日变得越来越商业化。第一句是主旨句,with 复合结构的使用指出商业化的缘由。第二句详细地指出了网上购物和社交媒体应用软件的使用推动了这一趋势。第三句中Although 的使用,表明人们对这一趋势的两种不同看法的同时,更偏向于商业化的节日所带来的好处:能促进消费、繁荣经济,也或多或少为人们营造了一些幸福感,同时增强了人们对节日的渴望,而这一点,也是现代人庆祝节日的理由之一。文中使用了丰富的句式结构:with复合结构和make+it+宾语补足语+真正的宾语。本单元的目标语言结构——动词-ing形式的taking和spending在句中分别作businesses的宾补和介词in的宾语。
　　节日正变得越来越商业化,商家会利用 ⑪这些庆祝活动(进行促销)。购物网站和社交媒体应用程序极大地方便了人们为至亲至爱花更多钱购买礼物 ⑫ 。尽管有人认为节日不应该被商业化,但是也有人认为消费增长有利于(提高)经济和公众幸福感。
　　Festivals are an important part of society. They reflect ⑬people's wishes,beliefs, faiths, and attitudes towards life. They are occasions ⑭ that allow us to relax and enjoy life, and forget about our work for a little while. They help us understand where we came from, who we are, and what to appreciate. And if you study festivals carefully, you may be surprised to find that different cultures actually have a lot in common ⑮ after all. 
　　[文本解读]最后一段是对全文的总结,指出节日是全世界人们社会生活的重要组成部分。第一句是中心句,第二句和第三句是对第一句的进一步解释,告诉读者节日在人们的生活和工作中发挥着什么作用,同时也是对文章题目的再次回答。而最后一句则是对全篇文章的升华,if 从句和surprised的运用,虽然含蓄却是对读者的恳切要求:对为什么庆祝节日这一问题的探求,要从个性到共性,从表面到实质,深刻感悟不同文化背景下世界各国人民共同的精神追求和美好愿望。actually一词的使用也表明了作者对其相似性本质的探求。 that 引导的定语从句和宾语从句,where和who引导的宾语从句等丰富的句式结构使文章更有层次感。
　　节日是社会的一个重要组成部分。节日反映 ⑬了人类的愿望、信仰、信念以及对生活的态度。节日是让我们放松心情、享受生活、暂时忘却工作的时刻 ⑭。节日让我们了解我们来自何方、我们是谁、我们应该感恩什么。此外,如果你仔细研究各种节日,你会惊奇地发现不同的文化实际上有很多共同之处 ⑮。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2020北师大附中高一期中)
Thanksgiving Day, a holiday designed to give thanks and blessings for a good harvest, is drawing near. But are you still having trouble with what gifts you should give?So let's take a look at some of the different gifts being sent to people from different countries, and maybe you will be able to find some inspiration.
Americans
In 1941, the United States Congress passed a law, ruling the fourth Thursday of November to be Thanksgiving Day. The make-up parade (游行) is hard to miss, and therefore cosmetics (化妆品), such as cosmetic mirrors, skincare products and sunglasses, may be good choices for gifts.
Egyptians
In ancient Egypt, the Harvest Festival was celebrated in honor of their harvest god Min during the spring season because that was when their harvest season would fall. The festival starts with a parade, followed by banquets, a ball and sports. Because music and movies are very popular here, CDs and DVDs are always great gifts. Moreover, art is also welcomed. One thing that should be noted is that blue and yellow colors need to be avoided since they are forbidden in the country.
Chinese
Chinese have the traditional festival “the Mid-Autumn Festival”, celebrated by families on the 15th of August in Chinese lunar calendar. Mooncakes and fruits are common gifts. But believe it or not, it is becoming a trend for an increasing number of young Chinese to celebrate the Western Thanksgiving. Carnations are a good present for mothers during the festival. Gloves are also a good idea, especially as the weather is becoming cold.
Jews
Sukkot, a Jewish festival celebrated for the autumn harvest, has a history of over 3,000 years. During the eight-day of Sukkot, Jews build many cabins, using branches, to memorize their ancestors' chancel (圣所). A feast is held during the second day in these specific cabins. Hanukkah is the original name of the festival. Thus lamps and lanterns are always in proper use. In addition, silk is considered to be the ideal gift for this holiday.
1.Which countries hold some parades during the festivals?
A.Egypt and Jewish countries.
B.America and Egypt.
C.China and Egypt.
D.China and America.
2.What will you buy as Thanksgiving gifts to visit a Jewish friend?
A.Sunglasses.　　B.CDs.　　C.Gloves.　　D.Silk.
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Mooncakes have not been popular as before.
B.Chinese people won't buy flowers as gifts in the festival.
C.Gloves are not so welcome as fruits.
D.An increasing number of young Chinese begin to celebrate the Western Thanksgiving.
4.The best title of this passage should be “　　　”. 
A.How to buy Thanksgiving gifts
B.A variety of Thanksgiving gifts
C.The function of Thanksgiving gifts
D.How to send Thanksgiving gifts
答案　
[语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。感恩节马上就要到了,在这个节日该买什么礼物送给自己要感恩的人呢?不同的国家或民族有不同的感恩节和庆祝方式,赠送的礼物也不尽相同。
1.B　细节理解题。文章提到美国和埃及在感恩节的时候有游行。因此选B。
2.D　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“silk is considered to be the ideal gift for this holiday”可知,应选D。
3.D　推理判断题。由第四段中的“it is becoming a trend for an increasing number of young Chinese to celebrate the Western Thanksgiving”可知,越来越多的中国的年轻人开始庆祝西方的感恩节。因此选D。
4.B　主旨大意题。本文讲述了几个不同的国家或民族在感恩节送什么礼物表示感谢,因此本文的主题是“各种不同的感恩节礼物”,故B项最适合做文章标题。

While many people are accessible by email, sometimes it is difficult to determine how exactly to write an email to them. Here are some tips for you to follow.
Write an appropriate subject line. The subject line should tell the recipient (接收者) immediately what the email is about. 　1　 Remember that your wording also has to be brief. 
　2　 It is best to be more formal rather than informal, so when writing to someone you have never met or written to before, a “Dear Jane Smith” is appropriate. When addressing someone whom you are a little familiar with, a “Dr. Smith” is okay until they tell you to address them by their first name, in which case a simple “Jane” will be okay. 
　3　 Within the first two sentences of your e-mail, your recipient should know exactly why you are writing to them. Sometimes an introduction may have to precede (先于) the sentence that states why you are writing, and sometimes it has to follow. 
Use appropriate language. You may be used to using informal language in certain social settings. 　4　Even when dealing with colleagues or friends you are familiar with, do not immediately fall back on informal language. 
Keep it simple. People may get dozens and even hundreds of emails a day. 　5　 In that way, they can save much of their time when reading emails. 
A.Use proper greetings.
B.Express your ideas clearly.
C.State your purpose in the beginning.
D.Be as specific as possible when writing the subject.
E.However, an email may not be the best place to use such language.
F.It is important to check the language to avoid spelling and grammar mistakes.
G.It is always easier for them if you keep your email as short and brief as possible.
1.　　　 2.　　　 3.　　　 4.　　　 5.　　　 
答案　
[语篇解读]　本文是说明文,就如何写电子邮件提出了几点建议。
1.D　此处承接上一句来说明写主题的时候要具体,以便收件人能够立即知道邮件的主题,下一句也顺着本句展开,说明措辞要简练,故选D。
2.A　本段主要讲在不同情况和场合下应该使用适当的称呼,故选A。
3.C　根据下一句可知,本段主要讲在邮件一开始要点明你写邮件的意图,选项C中的“at the beginning”与下一句中的“Within the first two sentences”相对应,故选C。
4.E　E选项与上一句构成转折关系,以此来说明写电子邮件时不要使用非正式的语言,同时也与下句构成了顺承关系,故选E。
5.G　G选项中的them指代上一句中的People,与前后句共同来说明为什么要使邮件简洁、明了,故选G。
