Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
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
Bu?ol.Truckloads of tomato es 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.

An evergreen tree is a Christmas tradition in many American homes.The tree is usually a pine or fir dressed with lights and other colorful decorations.
Families might buy a cut tree or go to a tree farm and cut one down
themselves.Some people bring a live tree in a pot into their home for the holidays and then put it back outdoors.Some people rent a Christmas https://www.wendangku.net/doc/6f11401313.html,panies might bring the same live tree to the same family year after year.Or the tree might get planted
in a park or someplace else where it could help the environment.
There are some trees that can be reused year after year because they are made of plastic or metal.Or,instead of a tree,some people have a small,sweet-smelling rosemary(迷迭香) plant,cut to look like a little Christmas tree.
Another plant that many people connect with Christmas is the poinsettia(一品红).Poinsettias are native to Mexico.They can be white or pink,but most are bright red.They are named after the first American ambassador to Mexico.Joel Poinsett liked them enough to send some back to the United States.Babies or pets that chew on poinsettias might get sick.But experts say the plant is not as poisonous as some people think.
Like millions of other houses,the home of America’s first president is decorated for Christmas.George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate is in Virginia.Visitors can hear stories about what Christmas was like at Mount Vernon in the eighteenth century.The museum where visitors begin their tour is decorated with Christmas trees.

Ⅱ.七选五
If you do not use your arms or legs for some time,they become weak;when you start using again,they slowly become strong again.Everybody knows this,and nobody would think of questioning the fact.1.When someone says that he has a good memory,he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly,either consciously or unconsciously.When someone else says that his memory is poor,he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong.2.One of them exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis,while the other sits in a chair or motor car all day.
If a friend complains that his arms are weak,we know that it is his own
fault.3.,many of us think that his parents are to blame,or that he is just unlucky,and few of us realize that it is just his own fault.Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever;but all of us can,if we have ordinary bodies and brains,improve our strength and our memory by the same means—practice.
Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can?4.Of course,because those who cannot read or write have to remember things;they cannot write them down in a little notebook.They have to remember dates,time and prices,names,songs and stories;so their memory is being exercised the whole time.
5.,learn from the poor:practice remembering.
A.What do you think of it?
B.Yet many people do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way.
C.But if he tells us that he has a poor memory
D.So if you want a good memory
E.When someone else says that he is poor in the health
F.Why is this?
G.The position is exactly the same as that of two people.

参考范文:
Dear Lily,
How time flies!You have said you have no idea how the Spring Festival is celebrated.Now I’d like to introduce it to you.
The Spring Festival originated from ancient China.Its celebration consists of
many activities.Before it,people clean houses,which will sweep all bad luck.On the
eve of the festival,family members get together and have big meals.As the economy develops,they always book a table in a restaurant to enjoy tasty food and watch the Spring Festival Gala.At midnight,they set off fireworks,which marks the beginning of
a new year.
During the festival,people often dress up and visit each other.There is a need
for old people to give lucky money to children.Most people can enjoy an extended and relaxing holiday now.
Welcome to China and celebrate it with us if you have time!
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
