For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Let the festivities begin! Ah, Thanksgiving! The smell of turkeys roasting and pies baking, and the delight of family and friends gathering together to feast and give thanks. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is a favorite time of year. And if you’ve studied the Pilgrims in school, you probably know that they celebrated “Thanksgiving” with the native Americans, who helped them plant and harvest their first successful crops in the New World. For three days, they feasted, played games, and gave thanks for a bountiful harvest. But did you know that many other cultures around the world celebrate similar holidays? People in several countries have their own ways of rejoicing in a good harvest and giving thanks for blessings received. I was interested to know about these other cultures and how celebrating the harvest ties people around the world together. After looking up a great deal of information, I asked my dad, Lynn Mason, what he thinks. He’s an anthropologist. That’s a person who studies different human cultures, so I was sure he had plenty to tell me. “Harvest festivals are windows into a society’s relationship to the environment and the world,” he says. “Learning about a society’s harvest festival is a good way to learn what is important to that society in terms of how people relate to one another, its language, art, symbols, values and beliefs, rituals and recipes.” A Chinese Celebration In China, the Harvest Moon Festival (also called the Mid-Autumn Festival) takes place each year --- usually in September or October. It honors the Chinese moon goddess Chang E. Chinese people consider the moon to be important. That's because in the past, they depended on its phases (full moon, half-moon, etc.) to know when to plant and harvest their crops. Today, children are allowed to stay up late with the adults for the festival. They celebrate by lighting paper lanterns, spending time with family, moon gazing, and giving thanks for the blessings they’ve received throughout the year. They also eat moon cakes. These are small, round cakes filled with nuts, bean paste, lotus-seed paste, or fruit. They are often decorated with pictures of the moon. The Harvest Moon Festival marks the end of the harvest and is one of the most joyful times of the year for the Chinese people. A Jewish Holiday Just as Americans remember the Pilgrims and the struggles they went through during their first years in the New World, Jewish people around the world remember the hardships of their ancestors by celebrating the holiday of Sukkot, which usually is observed in October. Many families build a sukkah, a temporary structure with a roof. It serves as a reminder of the time in their history when the Jewish people were forced to flee Egypt, through the desert. Some say that they built small shelters out of the few materials that were available. The roof of a sukkah is made from loosely woven corn husks, branches, or leaves, so that the sky can be seen from inside. The sukkah is decorated with fruits to symbolize the harvest, and people give thanks to God for the blessings of nature. They eat meals, study, or share time together in the sukkah. Some families even sleep in it at night for the duration of Sukkot, which lasts seven days. “Thanksgiving” in India Each January, the Hindu people of southern India celebrate the three-day festival of Pongal. The first day, called Bhogi Pongal, is celebrated in honor of Lord Indra, whom they refer to as the god of rain. The people give thanks to Indra for a good harvest. They also clean out their homes, scrubbing them from top to bottom and gathering any unwanted or unnecessary household goods and clothing. They build a bonfire and throw the unwanted items into it. Girls sing songs about the gods and the harvest as they dance around the fire. The second day of the festival is called Surya Pongal. It is considered the most important day of the celebration. People offer prayers to Surya, their sun god, for a bountiful harvest. They boil rice with milk and allow it to boil over. Then they offer it to Surya in thanksgiving. The third day of the festival is called Mattu Pongal. It is a day for honoring cattle. Cows are thanked for providing milk, and bulls are thanked for helping to plow the fields. 专业班级 3-1 ： 姓名： 学号： 下 装 订 线 上 装 订 线

西安建筑科技大学英语考试试卷 (08-3) During Mattu Pongal, cattle are washed and their horns are painted in bright colors and decorated with shiny metal caps. Their necks are draped with garlands of flowers or colorful beads. They are then taken to village centers, where people can pay their respects. So while we as Americans often get dressed up and gather with family and friends to share food, tell stories, offer thanks, and carry on other family traditions, societies around the world engage in similar celebrations. “Harvest festivals are great examples of cultural diversity and differences between people,” notes my dad, Dr. Mason. “But they also show how we are very similar in our core humanity and in the importance we attach to relationships with family and friends, food and its presentation, and our spirituality.” 1.

Although it 47 as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children’s day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks 48 . The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is 49 out, a funny face cut into it, and a candle placed inside as a decoration in the window. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations. Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by 50 up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one’s neighbors and friends, such as ringing door bells, throwing bits of corn on the window panes, and in other ways making minor 51 . More recently, children come to the door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and guess who they are behind the false faces and receive treats of candy, fruit or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat”, meaning, “Give me a treat or I will 52 a trick on you.” This practice has even more recently developed into a 53 international activity. Instead of or along with candy, the children collect money for UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). This 54 collection of money by children for 55 children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick of Treat”. Begun only recently, it results in several million dollars each year 56 to UNICEF. The collection box is an orange, reminiscent of the pumpkin. 专业班级： 姓名： 学号： 下 装 订 线 上 装 订 线

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice. Passage One Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage. Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero? Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame. Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people. The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would be heroes is what or whom do they serve. What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant? Heroes are cantalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountain top. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless. 57. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they _______ . A) generally process certain inspiring characteristics B) probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people C) are often influenced by previous generations D) all unknowingly attract a large number of fans 58. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that _______ . A) they have a vision from the mountaintop B) they have a warm feelings and emotions C) they can serve as concrete examples of noble principles D) they can make people feel stronger and more confident 59. Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because _______ . A) they are popular only among certain groups of people B) their performances do not improve their fans morally C) their primary concern is their own financial interests D) they are not clear about the principles they should follow 60. Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who _______ . A) are good at demonstrating their charming characters B) can move the masses with their forceful speeches C) are capable of meeting all challenges and hardships D) can provide an answer to the problems of their people 61.The author concludes that historical changes would ________ . A) be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualities B) not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrifices C) take place if there were heroes to lead the people D) produce leaders with attractive personalities Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage. In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city. Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage. Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages. Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions. 62. There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may _______. A) cause a shortage of apartments B) worry those who rent apartments as homes C) increase the profits of landlords D) encourage landlords to invest in building apartment 3-4 下 装 订 线 上 装 订 线

My son Brian, who was in training to become an army pilot, was 67 his way to a party one evening when he stopped at a gas station to ask for directions.
