T much f the wrld,bullfighting has always been distinctly Iberian.But these days,parts f France are laying claim t this traditin.Frm the Cte Basque t the arenas f Arles and Beziers,it has spread t twns where bullfighting has lng been banned,and been embraced with such enthusiasm that yu’d think the sprt had been brn there.
The rising passin fr bld and sand has been resisted by animal-rights activists.Last mnth smene set ff a bmb near the bullring in Carcassnne.Yet France’s enthusiasts fiercely defend their right t these mral rituals.Bullfighting,they insist,is part f the heritage,an expressin f a shared reginal culture that shuld be prtected.
The rest f the Cntinent shuld take nte.The paradx(自相矛盾) f an ever-mre-united Eurpe is that as brders between member states becme less imprtant,s d the natins themselves—and reginal identities are valued.It’s easy t frget that mst Eurpean natin-states were created as we knw them nly during the 19th century,after a lng series f bldy cnflicts.“If the chances f war had been a little different,all the regins sharing bullfighting might have been tgether,” argues Jean Michel Mariu,a huge fan f bullfighting.“On bth sides f the Pyrenees there are Basques,there are Catalans,there are cmmn cultures,”he says.“Bullfighting is nly ne expressin f it.”
Bullfighting isn’t the nly cultural traditin that has begun t g beynd brders,f curse.T name but ne ther:the Celtic revival,built largely arund musical grups alng the cast f Ireland,Sctland and Crnwall,Brittany and Nrmandy.But while bagpipes(風(fēng)笛) may stir the bld,they dn’t spill it.And the vilence f bullfighting hrrifies many peple wh dn’t feel they share in its culture.
“The cncept f lasting lcal traditin desn’t mean anything anymre,” says Jsyane Wuerelle,crdinatr f the Federatin de Liasins Anti-Crrida in Agde.Bullfighting is abut attracting turists,nt hnring lcal histry,she argues.Rbert Marge desn’t see it that way,f curse.He recently declined an invitatin t rganize a bullfighting in Paris’s enrmus Stade de France.“We didn’t want t sell ur suls by bringing bullfighting t a regin where it desn’t exist,” he explains.But he has als gt the sense t knw that sme traditins dn’t travel well.
4.What can we learn abut bullfighting frm the first tw paragraphs?
A.It is legal in France.
B.It will bm turism in France.
C.It has becme ppular in France.
D.It is part f the heritage f France.

Unit 4 Stage and screen
Ⅰ.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章主要介紹了四項(xiàng)英國的傳統(tǒng)活動(dòng):世界鬼臉大賽、吃蕁麻比賽、Whittlesea稻草熊節(jié)和背妻比賽。
1.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章Wrld Gurning Champinships部分內(nèi)容“The cntest takes place every year in Egremnt,Cumbria,as part f the twn’s Crab Fair,which dates back t 1267.”可知,這項(xiàng)比賽是螃蟹博覽會(huì)的一部分。故選B項(xiàng)。
2.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章Wrld Gurning Champinships部分內(nèi)容“The dates back t 1267.”可知,世界鬼臉大賽可以追溯到1267年;Nettle eating cntest部分內(nèi)容“Hsted by the Bttle Inn pub in Marshwd,Drset every year,this 20-year-ld nettle eating cntest...”可知,吃蕁麻比賽追溯到20年前;Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival部分內(nèi)容“Every January,the Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival takes place,which dates back mre than 200 years.”可知,Whittlesea稻草熊節(jié)可以追溯到200多年前;Wife carrying race部分內(nèi)容“The sprt actually riginates frm the Viking invasin f 793 CE.”可知,背妻比賽起源于公元793年。由此可知,背妻比賽歷史最悠久。
3.B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章Wrld Gurning Champinships部分內(nèi)容“The cntest takes place every year...”,Nettle eating cntest部分內(nèi)容“Hsted by the Bttle Inn pub in Marshwd,Drset every year...”,Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival部分內(nèi)容“Every January,the Whittlesea Straw Bear Festival takes place...”,和Wife carrying race部分內(nèi)容“ in Drking,Surrey every March”可推知,它們的共同點(diǎn)是每年都會(huì)舉行。故選B項(xiàng)。
【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了對世界上很多地方來說,斗牛一直是伊比利亞獨(dú)有的。但如今,法國的部分地區(qū)正在堅(jiān)持這一傳統(tǒng)。但這因此引發(fā)了一場關(guān)于斗牛運(yùn)動(dòng)的論戰(zhàn),文章說明了不同的人對此的不同看法。
4.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“Frm the Cte Basque t the arenas f Arles and Beziers,it has spread t twns where bullfighting has lng been banned,and been embraced with such enthusiasm that yu’d think the sprt had been brn there.”可知,斗牛的傳統(tǒng)已傳播到對這項(xiàng)活動(dòng)禁止了很長時(shí)間的一些城市,也就是說斗牛在法國越來越盛行。
5.D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“If the chances f war had been a little different,all the regins sharing bullfighting might have been tgether”可推知,共享斗牛的地區(qū)被戰(zhàn)爭分開了。
6.B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中“‘We didn’t want t sell ur suls by bringing bullfighting t a regin where it desn’t exist,’ he explains.But he has als gt the sense t knw that sme traditins dn’t travel well.”可推知,Rbert Marge拒絕在巴黎組織斗牛是出于尊重當(dāng)?shù)貍鹘y(tǒng)的原因。故選B項(xiàng)。
7.A 主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段并結(jié)合文章主要說明了對世界上很多地方來說,斗牛一直是伊比利亞獨(dú)有的。但如今,法國的部分地區(qū)正在堅(jiān)持這一傳統(tǒng)。但這因此引發(fā)了一場關(guān)于斗牛運(yùn)動(dòng)的論戰(zhàn),文章說明了不同的人對此不同的看法。由此可知,A項(xiàng)“斗牛大戰(zhàn)”最符合作文章標(biāo)題。
Ⅱ.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。文章講述了作者的父親在作者七歲時(shí)的一個(gè)晚上抱作者到海灘看流星,激發(fā)了作者的好奇心。進(jìn)而提到好的父母都知道給孩子的最珍貴的禮物就是激發(fā)他們的好奇心。

2.A 根據(jù)上文“Watch!”及下文“ne f the stars mved”可知,一顆星星在他父親說話的時(shí)候開始移動(dòng),這讓人覺得不可思議。

5.A 根據(jù)上文“ne f the stars mved”及“anther star leapt frm its place,then anther...”可知,星星一顆接著一顆從天空中劃過的景象,對孩子來說是很驚訝的事。
6.B 根據(jù)上文“ne f the stars mved”及“anther star leapt frm its place,then anther...”可知,此處指每年八月的某個(gè)晚上流星都會(huì)出現(xiàn)。
7.D 根據(jù)上文“Shting stars”及下文“encunter f smething magic and beautiful”可知,此處指男孩意外看到流星。
8.C 根據(jù)上文講述的男孩意外看到流星的事情可知,此處作者說自己就是那個(gè)幸運(yùn)的男孩。
9.B 根據(jù)上文“a new experience ”及下文“mre fr a small by than an unbrken night’s sleep”可知,此處指新的經(jīng)歷更重要。
10.A 根據(jù)上文“whse father believed that a new experience 9 mre fr a small by than an unbrken night’s sleep”及下文“This art f adding new dimensins t a child’s wrld ”可知,“我”的父親讓“我”相信新的經(jīng)歷更重要,此處指父親帶“我”看到流星現(xiàn)象,讓“我”了解到新事物。
11.C 根據(jù)上文“my father pened a dr fr his child,leading him int an area”可知,此處指孩子要有人引導(dǎo)。
12.D 根據(jù)下文“It simply 13 ding things mre ften with children instead f fr them r t them.”可知,此處指給孩子的世界增添新維度的藝術(shù)并不一定需要很多時(shí)間。
13.A 根據(jù)上文“desn’t 12 require a great deal f time”和下文“ding things mre ften with children”可知,為孩子的世界增添新維度需要父母和孩子們一起做事。
14.B 根據(jù)上文“Children are naturally curius”可知,此處指好的父母知道激發(fā)孩子們的好奇心。
15.D 根據(jù)下文“Next year,when August cmes with its shting stars,my sn will be seven.”可知,“我”打算在明年的八月份的某個(gè)夜晚帶自己的七歲的孩子看流星,可推知,父親帶“我”一起看流星的記憶植根于“我”的記憶。be rted in固定搭配,意為“植根于”。

Everett did as he was tld.Abut 15minutes later,Dan and Christi,nearby farmers,were driving by when they nticed Everett alne by the side f the rad,waving.They pulled ver and asked if he was OK.“My daddy’s in a hle,” he tld them.Hearing this,they piled Everett int their pickup and then drve t the well.
