二、语境运用

(A)
Most festivals have a historical and/or religious origin, while some are in 1 .
(associate) with seasonal changes. All of them, however, bring people together from
all walks of life and offer a sense of 2 . (belong). These particular aspects
of festivals make the celebrations truly grand.
So far, festival celebrations 3 . (become) more self-centred and are
moving away from tradition. Nowadays, the emphasis is on money and the idea that
it buys happiness. Thus, people work more 4 . (make) more money and
spend less time with family and friends. This can be considered an unwelcome
change because, at some point, we might completely forget the reason behind our
festivals. Then, we would be celebrating all our 5 . (tradition) festivals
similarly to Valentine's Day, Father's Day, and Mother's Day: as a commercial
opportunity.
In my opinion, the good old ways of festival celebrations were far better than the
ugly show of wealth that they've become. They say that change is for the better,
6 . I think some things are better left unchanged.(冀教XB2U4改)
(B)
The home has been 7 . (special) decorated for the joyous occasion. Six-
year-old Bofeng has not seen his grandparents for almost a year, and he is full of joy
and excitement. Despite the cold outside, their bright smiles fill the air 8 .
warmth while merry laughter rings throughout the house. Luo Yan, together with his
wife and son has settled in the big city, far away from their hometown. Once 9 .
year, however, they travel back for the Spring Festival, for their dream of “three
generations under the same 10 . (屋顶)”.(译林B2U3改)
(C)
Chopsticks reflect gentleness and 11. (kind), the main moral teaching of
Confucianism. There are some 12. (taboo) about using chopsticks that you
should pay great attention 13. , or you may be laughed at or blamed for
your bad table manners. First, don't use it to hit the side of your bowl or plate to
make noises, because Chinese people think only beggars would do this to beg for北京曲一线图书策划有限公司 高考项目部
meals. Second, don't point at people with your chopsticks or stretch out your index
finger while using them,
14 . would be regarded as a kind of accusation against others. Third, it is
thought to be 15 . impolite behavior when you suck the end of a
chopstick. And at last, never stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl, since that
usually appears at the funerals and is believed to be a curse to the host and the
seniors who are at the table.
Apart from being tableware, chopsticks can also be given as a present with
blessings in China. For example, a newly-married couple will be very happy 16 .
(accept) them as their wedding gift as they read “Kuaizi”, which means having sons
soon. What's more, Chinese people also send pairs of chopsticks as a gift to their
business partners. Since chopsticks should 17 . (use) in pairs in Chinese
culture, they stand for close “cooperation” between two parties in business.
Today, chopsticks have become a typical part of Chinese culture, 18 .
(symbolise) the power of unity. Indeed, one chopstick is useless and so delicate 19 .
it can be broken readily. However, ten pairs of chopsticks possess strength, which is
indestructible under almost any circumstance. All Chinese people draw on this spirit,
which always inspires and 20 . (encourage) them to work hand in hand for
a better future.
