2020届一轮复习人教版必修三Unit1Festivals around the world单元作业 一 Warming Up & Reading — Pre-reading Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Music festivals in Europe Visiting a festival abroad can be a great reason to travel and a way to experience different cultures. These days there is such a number of choices that it's possible to spend the whole summer watching live music in exciting places. Of course, it's also a chance to meet people from across the world. Melt! Festival, Germany This festival takes place on the site of an open air museum for industrial machinery. There's also a lake which can be used for swimming when it's hot. This year's lineup has over 120 different bands (乐队).Around 90% of the people attending the festival are German providing a perfect chance to practise speaking the language. Exit Festival, Serbia Set on the banks of the Danube in an old fortress (城堡), the festival began as a way to show people's dissatisfaction with the government. These days it's less political (政治的) but still worries about people who are poor, ill, old, etc. and tries to help them. This year's festival will host many famous bands. From electronic music and dance music to hard rock, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival, Scotland Set on a Scottish estate (庄园) near Inverness, this year Belladrum will welcome artists from around the world. The most enjoyable part of the weekend is the ceilidh (traditional Scottish dance and party) which is always a lively event. It doesn't even matter if you're a beginner because the band teaches you each dance. Open'er Festival, Poland Held in an airfield near the northern city of Gdansk, each year Open'er has a seriously good selection of bands. This year is no exception, with many famous bands set to play.Not only are there amazing artists, but both Poland and the festival itself also provide very excellent value for money. 语篇解读:本文是应用文。文章介绍了欧洲的四个音乐节。 1.What is special about Melt!

All our favorite activities can be traced (追溯) back to specific points in history, and knowing how these things came about just makes celebrating Christmas much more wonderful. The original Nicholas was born in 280 AD in the small country of Lycia, which is now part of modern Turkey. Nicholas became first a priest (牧师) and then a bishop (主教) in the early Christian church. The first paintings of him show Nicholas wearing the clothes of a Christian bishop — red decorated with white. When we see Santa's suit today, we're still seeing the two kinds of colors. Nicholas became famous for giftgiving. In the early fourth century, a legend began to spread about Nicholas coming at night to the home of three poor girls who did not have money and therefore could not get married. While the girls slept, Nicholas left gold coins in their stockings, which were drying by the fire. That's how the tradition of Santa filling stockings got its start. In 1841, Santa first appeared at a department store in Philadelphia. This Santa tried to climb down a chimney to impress the children who were watching, but he got stuck halfway down. In 1890, department store Santas began appearing all over America, especially on the East Coast around Boston. Parents in other countries joined together and hired passenger trains to take their families to see these Santas. At the same time, Ralph E.Morris of the New England Telephone Company suggested that strings of lights be hung on Christmas trees. After all, lights would be much safer than candles. Our modernday image of Santa as a fat man is based on ads of the CocaCola company in the 1930s.Artist Hans Sundblom used a retired salesman named Les Prentice as his model. 语篇解读:本文为记叙文。圣诞节传统的起源是所有节日中最吸引人的,人们了解这些起源也是为了使圣诞节过得更美妙。 4.What can we learn from Paragraph 1? A.Christmas is the most important holiday. B.The traditions of Christmas are based on facts. C.There was not any record of Christmas in the past. D.More and more people begin to celebrate Christmas. 解析:选B 推理判断题。由第一段可知,我们喜欢的任何圣诞节传统都可以追溯到历史上特定的由来,并且知道这些活动是如何产生的。由此可推知,这些传统都是建立在事实之上的。 5.What do we know about Nicholas? A.He set up the first Christian church. B.He was called Santa Claus when he was born. C.His clothes are similar to Santa's suit in color. D.His image is the same as the modernday Santa. 解析:选C 推理判断题。由第二段“...red decorated with white.When we see Santa's suit today, we're still seeing the two kinds of colors.”可知,尼古拉斯第一批画像中穿着基督教主教的衣服——红色镶有白色的衣服。在如今圣诞老人的装扮中,我们看到的仍然是这两种颜色。 6.Three poor girls are mentioned to ________. A.prove that Nicholas used to be a rich man B.tell of the origin of Santa filling stockings C.show Christmas was set up mainly for the poor D.describe a famous story in the early fourth century 解析:选B 细节理解题。由第三段“That's how the tradition of Santa filling stockings got its start.”可知,提到三个穷苦女孩是为了讲述圣诞老人把礼物放进袜子这一传统的由来。 7.What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A.Santa didn't become popular until the year 1890. B.Candles have never been used on Christmas trees. C.The CocaCola company designed the image of Santa. D.Santa began giving gifts by climbing down chimneys in 1841. 解析:选A 推理判断题。由倒数第二段可知,1890年,圣诞老人百货商场盛行于美国,尤其是在波士顿的东海岸。世界各地的家长一起带着家人,坐着租来的旅客列车观赏这些圣诞老人。由此可知,圣诞老人于1890年开始流行。 C I can't remember a time when my bedroom didn't have a bookshelf. From Dr. Suess to Mother Goose, I had all kinds of books that progressed in size as I got older. My earliest memory of books was sitting on my bed at night with my mom reading to my older brother and me from C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, or Madeleine L'Engle. And my first beloved book that was all mine was a children's book about being a chosen child. As an adopted (收养的) child, this book helped me learn that my family was my very own because they chose me. As I got older, the books got thicker and more difficult. The first set of books I ever bought with my own money was L.M. Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables. When in elementary school, there was a book catalog (目录) that would come out. We could take it home and have our parents help us order new books. Then the books would be sent to the school. There was nothing better than getting my little bag of books. My love for science fiction was deepened by my older brother's love for it. Beyond being the person to introduce me to Star Trek and Doctor Who, it was his copy of The Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks that got me really interested in science fiction. I read classics in high school. The first time I had the thought that I wanted to be a writer was after reading Edgar Allan Poe's work. And his use of words floored me. I remember using his word “phantasmagorical” for a senior paper. Yeah, it's no wonder I ended up an English major and English teacher passing on my love for the written word and the books students could hold in their hands. 语篇解读:本文是记叙文。作者在家庭成员的影响下逐渐爱上阅读,并走上了教书育人之路。 8.What was the author's earliest memory of books?

According to a new study in the journal Science, babies receive more than genetics (基因) from their parents.They can also get certain good qualities, such as persistence (坚持不懈), by watching how adults behave.Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology say that babies who watched an adult struggle (努力) with and then triumph_over something were more likely to show persistence themselves when given a new task. The team at MIT studied 262 babies between the ages of 13 and 18 months.They placed them in one of three situations.In the first one, the lead researcher struggled with two different toys' problems before solving them, letting the baby watch while she did so.The second time, the researcher solved the problems but did not struggle with them.And for the third scene, she did not do anything. After each scene, the researcher left a small musical toy with the child.She showed the baby that it could play music but did not teach them how to turn it on.The babies who had watched the researcher struggle discovered and pressed the toy's button (按钮) a much greater number of times than those in the last two groups.In other words, the babies did not copy what they had watched; they learned not to give up, instead. Now, the researchers are interested in finding which ways of talking with babies influence them the most.They also hope to know if the results can work in the real world, as well as whether the lesson of persistence might last into adulthood. 语篇解读:本文是说明文。研究发现,婴儿可以从父母那里学到坚持不懈的好品质。 1.What important lesson might parents forget?
