【2016全国III卷】 If you are a fruit grower— or would like to become one— take advantage of Apple Day to see what’s around.
It’s called Apple Day but in practice it’s more like Apple Month. The day itself is on October 21, but since it has caught on, events now spread out over most of October around Britain.
Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples. To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets, it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence, such as Decio which was grown by the Romans. Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try, as is the knobbly(多疙瘩的) Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else.
There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions. One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette, but you’ll need a warm, sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it, so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.
At the events, you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions, and because these are family affairs, children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.
Apple Days are being held at all sorts of places with an interest in fruit, including stately gardens and commercial orchards(果园). If you want to have a real orchard experience, try visiting the National Fruit Collection at Brogdale, near Faversham in Kent.
【文章大意】作者向人们介绍了一个节日——Apple Day。由于这个节日非常受欢迎,现在已经演变成苹果月了。在英国,人们在十月份庆祝该节日,持续大约一个月的时间。
1. What can people do at the apple events?
A. Attend experts’ lectures. B. Visit fruit-loving families.
C. Plant fruit trees in an orchard. D. Taste many kinds of apples.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see, and often taste, a wide variety of apples.”可知,参加相关庆祝活动的人们可以品尝各种各样的苹果,故选D。
2. What can we learn about Decio?
A. It is a new variety. B. It has a strange look.
C. It is rarely seen now. D. It has a special taste.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。A选项" Decio是- -种新品种"与第二段中的" it can be... still in existence"不- 致,且 由这句话可知Decio现在比较罕见,故C项正确;文中并未提及Decio的外形奇异,故B选项错误; D选项 “It has a special taste.”与第二段中的原文 “Although it doesn’t taste of anything special, it’s still worth a try”表述相反。
3. What does the underlined phrase “a pipe dream” in Paragraph 3mean?
A. A practical idea. B. A vain hope. C. A brilliant plan. D. A selfish desire.
【答案】B
【解析】猜测词义题。根据第三段可知, Orleans Reinette品种虽然口感好,但对种植环境和土壤要求高,因此对于大多数喜欢它的人来说,大饱口福只是一-种脱离实际的愿望,这与B项 “Avain hope” (徒劳的希望)一致。
4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To show how to grow apples. B .To introduce an apple festival.
C. To help people select apples. D. To promote apple research.
【答案】B

【2020合肥市高三第三次教学质量检测】The traditional Chinese Longtaitou Festival, or Dragon -Head-Raising Festival, falls on the second day of the second lunar month every year, and recognizes the start of spring and farming. This year it falls on March 8.
Ancient people believed that after this day, rainfall increases because the rain-bringing Dragon King has awakened from his winter sleep. A well-known phrase goes, “Er yue er, long tai tou,” meaning,”On the second day of the second month, the dragon lifts his head.”
The festival celebrates ancient agrarian Chinese culture, and while some of traditional ways to celebrate it are no longer practiced, others continue to exist.
The most famous tradition is getting a haircut. Some believe that going to the barber on this day gets rid of bad luck, while others believe getting a haircut during the first month of the lunar calendar brings bad luck. Another saying warns that cutting your hair in the first month will cause your uncle to die. Although today few pay attention to it, it was once a tradition to line up outside barbershops on the day of Longtaitou.
People eat tofu balls in East China’s Fujian province during the festival, and often make tofu and vegetable balls to pray for family and business. Fried beans are the traditional festival food for people in parts of Shandong province. Eating chengyao cakes, which are made with sticky rice, during the festival is a tradition in Suzhou, East China’s Jiangsu province, owing to the saying,” If you eat chengyao on Longtaitou, your waist won’t hurt all year.” Meanwhile other foods, like noodles, dumplings, and spring rolls, are named after dragon body parts to mark the day. Noodles are dragon’s beard (long xu), dumplings are dragon’s ears (long er), spring rolls dragon’s scales (long lin).
【语篇解读】该文主要介绍了中国的传统节日——龙抬头’包括其文化和习俗等。
5. What did ancient people believe after Dragon-Head-Raising Festival?
A. The dragon lifts his head. B. There’s more rainfall.
C. The dragon is still sleeping. D. There’s less rainfall.
【答案】B
【解析】考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句”Ancient people believed that after this day, rainfall increases because the rain-bringing Dragon King has awakened from his winter sleep\”可知’古代人们认为’龙抬头后降雨量会增加。
6. What does the underlined word “agrarian” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Agricultural. B. Industrial. C. Travelling. D. Manufacturing.

【干扰项分析】A项是福建人的传统;B项是山东人的传统;D项并没有特别指出是哪个地方的传统’文中只是解释了饺子的命名和龙抬头节日的关系’故排除。

【2020成都第三次诊断】For the past two years I have been travelling and living abroad. Home has become more of a feeling than a place. I feel at home when I am with my family in London, but I also feel at home in Italy with friends I love. Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows. It is more complicated than that.
This is one of the reasons that celebrating the new year has become very important for me. I do not care about “New Year’s resolutions(新年计划)” — living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don’t feel the need to plan for change: I live for change.
New Year’s Eve has become my time to reconnect with the friends, which makes me feel at home. Every year we try to reunite wherever we are, and remember the time when we knew each other so well that we felt like a family. It is a moment to reconnect and get to know each other again. Last year, we travelled to a cottage in Ireland where we had no Internet and no neighbours. In the middle of the countryside, away from our constantly changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again.
This year, we went to Barcelona. It was a very big change. We were surrounded by culture and life and joy. There were bars and parties. It was different, but one thing stayed very much the same — I felt at home again and we felt like a family again.
A lot of people feel that New Year’s Eve cannot live up to expectations. Ideas such as the “New Year’s kiss” and “resolutions” create a lot of pressure for people to have a night to remember, a night that will change their lives and perhaps make the next year worth living. I think those people are missing the point. Why can’t New Year be about friends?
【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。过去两年作者在国外旅游、生活,作者认为家不只是一个地方,而是一种感觉;新年是和家人、朋友团聚的时刻,作者经常通过和朋友们一起旅游来庆祝新年。
9. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Family. B. Living abroad. C. Home. D. Staying with friends.
【答案】C
【解析】考查代词指代。根据第一段倒数第二句“Home is no longer a picture of a house with a front door and some windows”可知,家不再是一幅有前门和一些窗户的房子的图画;结合画线词所在句“It is more complicated than that”可知,该句的主语It指代前一句中的“Home”,故C项正确。
10. Why doesn’t the author care about “New Year’s resolutions”?
A. New Year’s resolutions cannot be reached.
B. His lifestyle makes him always ready for change.
C. It’s meaningless to make any big changes in life.
D. Making New Year’s resolutions creates much pressure.
【答案】B
【解析】考查细节理解。根据第二段第二句“I do not care about‘New Year's resolutions(新年计划)’ — living abroad has made me constantly reconsider what kind of person I want to be and how I will live my life, so I don't feel the need to plan for change:I live for change”可知,作者的生活不断变化,所以他认为没有必要在意新年计划,故B项正确。
11. What does the author try to convey through his experiences in Ireland and Barcelona?
A. Life is peaceful and enjoyable.
B. Living abroad is a happy experience.
C. Staying with friends makes one feel at home.
D. Travelling abroad enriches one’s life experience.
【答案】C
【解析】考查细节理解。根据第三段尾句“In the middle of the countryside, away from our constantly changing lives, we were able to become like a little family again”可知,和朋友待在乡村的中心,远离不断变化的生活,作者找到了家的感觉;根据第四段尾句“It was different, but one thing stayed very much the same — I felt at home again and we felt like a family again”可知,作者和朋友们在一起,感觉又回到了家,感觉又像一家人了。据此可知,文章中提及作者和朋友在爱尔兰和巴塞罗那的经历旨在说明和朋友待在一起能让人有找到家的感觉,故C项正确。
12. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. New Year’s Celebration: How?
B. True Friendship: What?
C. Living Abroad:Comfortable or Complicated?
D. Change:Plan It or Make It?
【答案】A
【解析】考查主旨大意。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了作者由于常年旅居在国外,对于庆祝新年和新年计划有着不同的思考:有朋友的地方就有家的感觉,变化着的生活不需要新年计划,故A项最适合作文章标题。
D
【2019广东省佛山市顺德区高三第三次教学质量检测】Everything has its root. “Holiday”, is no exception. The origin of “holiday” is easy to see, coming from “holy day”, a day of particular religious significance, often celebrating the life of a saint (圣徒), during which no work was to be done. As far back as the 11th century, “holidays”, especially the major feast days, were times of “celebration and amusement”, as the Oxford English Dictionary puts it.
The number of holidays steadily increased during the Middle Ages, until a medieval Englishman would have had the luxury of 40 to 50 days a year off work, depending on where he lived, in addition to a free day on Sundays.
During the Reformation, Henry Ⅷ abolished most of the holidays partly because of the Protestant (新教的) suspicion of saints, but more practically, because, according to historian Eamon Duffy, “A large number of holidays were making the people poor by limiting agriculture.” The people took a different view and organized a protest march—the Pilgrimage of Grace—partly to protect their days off.
Though at first the religious and festive senses of holiday were combined, the word gradually came to be used for any kind of relaxing break from work. As the word was drawing away from a religious society, the number of authorized holidays was reduced, until by 1834 most workers had only four official days off a year, in addition to Sundays. Many factory workers amplified this time by staying home on “Saint Monday” to recover from what they had gotten up to the day before.
By the late 19th century, employers were compromising and offering half-day Saturdays, the beginning of the “weekend”, a term first used in 1879. In 1908, an innovative mill in New England gave its employees all of Saturday off, and the practice of their getting the whole Saturday off spread widely during the Great Depression as a way to keep employment up. It took 400 years, but finally workers could enjoy as many holidays as they had in the 15th century.
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,主要说明了holiday——节日所经历的变革和其演变过程。
13. What was the word “holiday” originally intended for?
A. Economy. B. Entertainment. C. Religion. D. Politics.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“The origin of ‘holiday’ is easy to see, coming from ‘holy day’, a day of particular religious significance…”可知,holiday的起源很容易看出,来源于holy day,一个具有特殊宗教意义的日子。故选C项。
14. What’s the main reason for Henry Ⅷ’s ending most holidays according to Eamon Duffy?
A. His people required a thorough reformation.
B. He didn’t believe in God and saints.
C. People took no interest in the agriculture due to them.
D. Large numbers of holidays stood in the way of the agriculture.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“…A large number of holidays were making the people poor by limiting agriculture.”可知,Henry Ⅷ废除大部分节日是因为大量的假期限制了农业生产,使人们变得贫穷。故选D项。
15. When did most employees get the whole Saturday off?
A. In 1879. B. During the Great Depression.
C. In 1908. D. In the 15th century.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段“In 1908, an innovative mill in New England gave its employees all of Saturday off, and the practice of their getting the whole Saturday off spread widely during the Great Depression as a way to keep employment up.”可知,周六全天休息始于大萧条时期。故选B项。
