高一下学期训练卷必修二Unit4 History and traditions英语（二）（本卷满分100分）一、阅读理解（每小题2分，共16分）AMexico takes the third place in the most-attended carnival celebrations behind Rio de Janerio in Brazil and New Orleans in the US. While carnival is celebrated in Mexico in all major cities, the celebration in Mazatlan is the most expected.Every year, over 300,000 people attend the carnival celebration in Mazatlan in Mexico. It is a popular destination for carnival festivities along with other Mexico’s famous port cities like Veracurz, Ensenada, and La Paz. If you’re planning to visit Mexico to observe this famous celebration, it is advisable to book months before the actual date as boarding and lodging(食宿费) rise sharply during the holidays.People from all walks of life actually participate in this yearly festive celebration. It has become a part of people’s way of life both for Catholics(天主教徒) or non-Catholics. People in the US celebrating this tradition and some parts of South America throw confetti eggs(五彩蛋) to one anot her as part of the tradition’s practice. This is believed to bring good luck to the person who’s hit by it.Besides the above activities, masquerade(化妆) balls and rides that charge entrance fees are available. In the evening, a grand firework display awaits audience and participants.During the last day of the celebration, South American countries such as Mexico conduct cultural awards including poetry contest and so on. The Clemencia Isaura Poetry recognizes and awards the person with the best unpublished work in Mexico.If you are a partygoer and looking for the best event to be at..., then this is the best party celebration you should participate in. South American countries are the best place to be at for this type of celebration including New Orleans in the US.1. _______ is the first place in the most-attended carnival celebrations.A. Mexico.B. Rio de JanerioC. New Orleans.D. Sao Paulo.2. If you plan to see the carnival celebration in Mazatlan, you’d better _______ .A. reach there by plane.B. bring more money with yourself.C. book accommodations in advance.D. visit Mexico’s famous port cities.3. In Paragraph 3, the underlined part “people from all walks of life” means people _______.A. walking in different ways.B. having different interests in life.C. coming from different parts of the city.D. working in different occupations.4. What happens last during the carnival celebrations?A. Throwing confetti eggs.B. Poetry contests.C. Masquerade balls.D. A grand firework display.BMy first week in the United States was a cultural shock. Everything felt new to me, including the style of conversation, the community I lived in and even the type of food people ate.In our community back home, people eat mutton and chicken. Pork and beef are also common among other communities, but eating beef is taken as an illegal act. Unlike Nepal, eating beef is common in the West where most of the people follow religions other than Hinduism.Food is just an example. When people move from one part of the world to another, they should adapt(适应) themselves to the new culture. For example, going to the bars or getting drunk is not acceptable in my community, but it is common in the US after a certain age.I was raised in a traditional Hindu family in Nepal. We have a conservative(保守的) opinion towards marriage. Arranged marriages(包办婚姻) are common in which families decide whether the two should get married. Free love marriages are not allowed and are seldom seen. Same-sex marriage is also considered impossible.To me, culture is a matter of habit. The culture is so deep-rooted in people’s minds that most people are against changes. It is always easy for them to do what they have been doing throughout their life. It may be difficult for anyone to adapt to a new culture.However, with travel being an unavoidable thing for modern people, one always comes across different cultures. In such cases, one should be respectful and adaptive to the culture other people follow. The world is always a better place to live in when we have spaces for people of all cultures.5. What does the Nepal law forbid people to eat?A. Pork.B. Beef.C. Chicken.D. Mutton.6. What can we learn from the passage?A. Most westerners believe in Hinduism.B. Getting drunk in Nepal is acceptable.C. Anyone can enter the bars in the US.D. The writer came across a cultural shock.7. Which may be seen most in Nepal?A. Open marriages.B. Free love marriages.C. Same-sex marriage.D. Arranged marriages.8. What is the writer’s attitude to different cultures?A. Negative.B. Respectful.C. Conservative.D. Indifferent.二、七选五（每小题2分，共10分）Table MannersWe all like to think we have good table manners, but what you consider proper table manners may actually be considered rude in another country! Let’s explore some strange table manners around the world.Most people believe that it is bad manners to slurp(出声地吃或喝) or hold your soup bowl up to your mouth. 9 Slurping in Japan is an indication that the food is good. Therefore, in Japan, slurping is considered polite.10 In some cultures, finishing all the food on your plate is a sign that your host did not provide you with enough food. Filipinos, Koreans and Thais will all think like this. In many cases your host will continue to serve you each time you clear your plate. For Japanese people, however, finishing all the food on one’s plate is a sign to the host that the meal is delicious and that you appreciate the meal.11 This is a belief in many Asian countries, including Thailand, Japan and China. It’s considered taboo(禁忌) because during funerals(丧礼), bowls of rice with chopsticks sticking in them are offered to the deadDon’t cut your salad with a knife in France. Proper etiquette(礼节) in France when eating a salad to fold the salad leaves onto your fork if they are too big to put in your mouth. You should never cut your salad with a knife. 12Pay attention to forks. Have you ever been to a fancy western restaurant, not sure which fork to use?13 In Thai culture the proper way to enjoy Thai food is with a spoon in your right hand and a fork in your left. Some countries don’t even use forks but rather eat with their hands, like India, Nepal and Pakistan.A. That isn’t true in Japan.B. It’s the one furthest from your plate.C. You must finish the food on your plate.D. Should you finish all the food on your plate?E. You may use your fork to eat something like fruit.F. Never leave your chopsticks sticking in a bowl of rice.G. This rule is taught to many French children from an early age.三、完形填空（每小题1.5分，共30分）The “Double Seven Festival” is a traditional Chinese festival.

It is a public holiday when families take advantage of the time off to visit some of the UK’s many attractions, including parks, zoos, historic buildings, ancient towns and villages and beautiful countryside.May Day celebrations have their origins in the Roman festival of Flora, the goddess of fruit and flowers, which marked the beginning of summer.

以下为教材各部分教学内容简要分析及教学活动实施建议：1.Opening Page 主题图展示的流经伦敦的泰晤士河及其岸边的重要建筑群，集中体现了英国的历史文化风貌，是英国历史、地理、人文、建筑艺术等方面的一个缩影。
开篇页的引言" A people without the knowledge of their past history , origin and culture is like a tree without roots ."即"一个不了解自己历史、起源和文化的民族，就如同一棵无根之树"。
通过类比，阐释了历史起源及其所蕴含文化的重要性。
