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 Buñol.Truckloads of tomatoes 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.
1.The underlined part “once in a blue moon” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “ ”.
A.rareB.timely
C.regular D.seasonal
2.During the Naked Festival,contestants .
A.have to drink cold water
B.include males and females
C.drink alcohol to keep warm
D.can eat rice given by bystanders
3.In the last paragraph,the author asks readers to .
A.learn about more festivals
B.be tolerant of each festival
C.make festivals a part of their life
D.realize the importance of festivals

考点规范练11(必修3 Unit 1)
.【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了四个奇怪的节日。
1.A 词义猜测题。由第二段开头的“in the dry heart of Australia.There you will find the Todd River Race in a riverbed that normally has no water”可知,托德河所在地区气候干旱,很少降雨。据此可推断,画线短语的意思应是“罕见的”。故选A项。
2.C 细节理解题。由第五段末的“drink a great amount of sake...in an effort to stop them from freezing”可知C项正确。
3.B 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“However,I think it is important as a universal community that we respect how and what others choose to celebrate”可推断,作者请求读者对各种节日要包容。
.【语篇导读】暑假在父亲的肉店打工的经历让作者懂得了很多。父亲的一视同仁让作者体会到了工作的艰辛,也懂得了理解那些干脏活、累活的人。
1.B 根据下文作者所做的工作以及第13题前的“butcher’s”可知,作者的父亲经营着一家小肉店。grocery“食品杂货店”;butcher’s“肉店”;chain“连锁商店”;barber’s“理发店”。
2.A 在父亲的店里,新手会做最不好干的工作,老板的儿子也不例外。hire“雇用,聘用”;invite“邀请”;receive“收到”;train“训练”。
3.B 老板的儿子也被包括在内。interest“使感兴趣”;include“包括”;affect“影响”;offer“提供”。
4.C 根据第二、三段对作者工作的描述以及最后一段中的“I cleaned the dirty containers every Saturday afternoon”可知,作者的工作是除去冷冻室天花板上的霜冻,并弄干净放在鸡肉下面的容器。look into“审查,调查”;tear up“撕毁”;clean up“打扫干净”;carry on“继续移动”。
5.C 根据下文中的“Chicken sat in wooden boxes”可知,店里每天都会收到新鲜的鸡肉。
6.A 为了保存鸡肉,周围会放一些碎冰。be surrounded with“被……包围”。impress“使铭记”;accompany“陪伴”;cook“烹调”。
7.D 根据第三段中的“carefully slide the containers from under the chicken”可知,容器在鸡肉下面。
8.B 只有一种办法可以去除血水并清洗容器。chance“机会”;way“方法”;place“地方”;reason“原因”。
9.C 根据第二段的最后一句可知,容器里有血腥味,因此作者屏住呼吸并小心地抽出容器。hold one’s breath“屏住呼吸”。
10.D 作者小心地抽出容器,尽量不让里面的东西溅到衣服上。touch“触摸”;notice“注意到”;find“发现”。
11.C 然后将容器里的脏水倒入下水道。break“损坏,破碎”;divide“分开,分散”;empty“倒空”;allow“允许”。
12.D 先行词为students,空处引导定语从句,且在从句中做主语,故应用who。
13.C 根据文章第一句以及最后一段的内容可知,作者暑假期间在父亲的店里打工,所以此处指暑假结束时学生们都将返回学校。adapt“适应”;walk“步行”;return“返回”;apply“应用”。
14.A 有些学生会有美好的回忆,而有些学生则带着不愉快的回忆返校。前后为对比关系,因此使用while。
15.D 此处应与“great”意思相反,因此选择D项。
16.B 作者认为父亲本能把自己从每周的苦境中解救出来,但父亲没有那样做。spare sb.from sth.“使某人免去某物”。force“强迫”;treat“对待,款待”;push“推”。
17.B 作者觉得为了养家而辍学的父亲实际上是自己的老师,他让作者懂得了很多做人的道理。at heart“在心里”;in fact“事实上,实际上”;in case“以防万一”;at home“在家”。
18.C 作者的父亲知道区别对待自己的儿子与其他员工是不公平的。kindly“亲切地”;carefully“仔细地”;differently“不同地”;warmly“热烈地”。
19.B 最重要的是,父亲教作者在生活中要理解那些从事又累又脏的工作的人。witness“目击,见证”;appreciate“理解,明白”;hurt“伤害”;influence“影响”。
20.B 根据空格前的“hard and”及最后一段中的“I cleaned the dirty containers”可知,应选择B项,dirty“脏的”。
.【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文,论述了“Honesty is the best policy.”这一观点。
1.a 考查冠词。此处表示泛指“一种好方法”,因此填不定冠词a。
2.easiest 考查形容词最高级。根据空前的冠词the可知,此处应填其最高级形式easiest。
3.freedom 考查名词。根据give somebody something的结构可知,此处应填free的名词形式freedom。
4.will pay 考查时态。sooner or later“迟早”,根据其意思可知,该空应用一般将来时。
5.truly 考查副词。修饰形容词应用副词,因此此处应该填true的副词形式。
6.standing 考查非谓语动词。此空在“If there were two people”后,说明要用非谓语动词;people与stand之间为主动关系,因此用现在分词standing。
7.who/that 考查定语从句。先行词为“person”,因此应该用关系代词who或that引导定语从句。
8.to believe 考查非谓语动词。be likely to do sth.为固定搭配“可能做某事”。
9.Either 考查连词。根据固定结构either...or...“要么……要么……”可知,此处应填Either。
10.yours 考查代词。这就是你的选择。此处用名词性物主代词yours做表语,指代“your choice”。
