Hawaiian(夏威夷的)culture was once rich in colorful traditions.Though some of them have been forgotten，two important traditions are still alive today.One of these is the “lei” and the other is the “hula”．
In the local story，leis were first given to Hawaiians by the goddess of kindness and protection.She traveled to all the islands and destroyed the harmful spirits(幽灵)．Leis were worn by Hawaiian leaders in activities for peace.Leis are still important to the Hawaiian people and still mean peace and friendship.Hawaiians wear leis at weddings，funerals and other important ceremonies.A Hawaiian host will always give a lei to non Hawaiian visitors.When the guest arrives，a lei is placed around his or her neck，with the traditional greeting，“Aloha”．
Leis are created from the many kinds of fresh flowers which are found on the islands.The flowers are tied together to form a large circle.Many flowers are needed to make a colorful lei.Because the flowers must be fresh，the leis can't be made in advance．In Hawaii，you can find women selling leis in every shopping center and at the airports.Each island has its own lei，with a different kind of flower.
Leis are often worn by Hawaiians when they dance the hula.The Hawaiians said the goddess Laka taught the people how to dance the hula.At first it was danced only by the men.But later，women began to dance the hula，too.Now it is danced mostly by women.
Many Hawaiians have learned how to dance the hula.But the best hula dancers have taken classes for years and worked hard to learn the special movements.It is not easy to do the hula，though it may seem so simple when done well.The hula dancer must learn to control every part of his or her body，even face.Then，they use their hands，hips(臀部)and feet to tell a story.
Music which is played on Hawaiian instruments goes with the dancing.These instruments are made of bamboo，wood and gourds(葫芦)．The musicians also sing softly with the music.The music，singing and dancing together form a Hawaiian style opera.
When Europeans came to Hawaii in the early 1800s，they did not like the hula.Therefore，they didn't allow people to dance the hula，and it almost disappeared from Hawaii.However，in the late 1800s，King Kalakaua formed a special dance group and saved this important tradition.
( )34.Leis are important to Hawaiians because they mean ______.
A．love and luck B．love and friendship C．peace and friendship D．peace and luck
( )35.The underlined words “in advance” in Paragraph 3 mean “______”．
A．with care B．by hand C．without any preparations D．ahead of time
( )36.Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage？(P＝Paragraph)
A. B.
C. D.
( )37.Which of the following is an opinion，not a fact
A．The lei and hula are two traditions in Hawaiian culture.
B．The Hawaiian instruments are made of bamboo，wood and gourds.
C．It's not easy for people to learn to dance hula though it seems simple.
D．King Kalakaua formed a special dance group and saved the hula tradition.
C
I am still not sure how I made the decision，but last year I agreed to have a New Year's Eve party.It took me days to prepare.Then there were the lists to be made and shopping to be done in the crowded supermarket.After shopping，I really wanted to have a rest，but I hurried to make food in the kitchen.
The night before the party，my husband helped me set up tables.I felt pleased.On the morning of that day，I woke to the sun shining.Everything was ready.
At 4：00 p．m., my husband was working in his company and would be home in an hour.At 5：00 p．m., I sent a message to him and asked，“Are you on your way？Everyone will be here in an hour.” He replied，“I'm really busy now.Sorry.” At 5：45 p．m.，I sent a message to him again.He answered，“Sorry，I'm still tied up.” I was worried whether I'd hold the party alone.I kept sending messages to ask him as guests arrived.
I felt worried and unsure of how to hold the party.By 7：30 p．m.，we were hungry，so we all sat for dinner，with one empty chair beside me.My husband promised he would be home before dinner was done.
At 9：30 p．m.，my husband called，“Honey，I never imagined this could have happened.Things are crazy here.Some people made mistakes in the number of our products(产品)．Now we have to count them all again.”
I realized that the night was hard for my husband.“Will you forgive(原谅)me？” he asked again.“Yes，” I took a breath.“I'm sorry for being impatient.Take your time.Happy New Year.” My husband said，“Thank you！Happy New Year！”
( )38.Why did the writer keep sending messages to her husband
A．Because she hoped he would be back soon. B．Because she knew nothing about the guests.
C．Because she met something dangerous at home. D．Because she wanted him to buy something for her.
( )39.What did the writer realize after her husband's calling
A．He was a little angry with her. B．He didn't have enough partners.
C．He could never look after his family well. D．He had a busy and difficult night at work.
( )40.Which of the following is the right order
①The New Year's Eve party started.
②The writer went to the supermarket.
③The writer sent messages to her husband.
④The writer received a call from her husband.
A．②③①④ B．②③④①
C．②①③④ D．②①④③
( )41.What lesson does the story want to tell us
A．We should improve our social skills.
B．We often need to make difficult choices (选择) in life.
C．We should learn to put ourselves in others' shoes.
D．We'd better prepare ourselves for some challenges.

Around the world，people have different traditional foods to celebrate different festivals.Traditional foods also show a new year of good luck and good health.
An English Christmas dinner has a meal of turkey，and it also includes pies and plum puddings.In Germany，Christmas is celebrated with bread，cookies and cakes，which are made like Christmas trees.In France，Christmas dessert is a cake filled with butter cream.
In southern parts of India，there is a three day festival in mid January called Pongal.It includes rice and a dish of rice cooked with sugar that is shared with families and friends.
Japan celebrates New Year with a seven day festival.It begins from January 1st.Food is prepared before the festival，so people don't need to cook during the festival.On New Year's Day，various dishes called Osechi Ryori(御节料理)are served—each dish is a wish for the New Year.
In most Asian countries，the New Year begins with the first full moon of the first Chinese lunar month.Each place has its special food to welcome the coming year.People in China prepare their food ahead of time to avoid the possibility that using a knife during New Year's time might “cut luck”．Foods with lucky names are popular，such as fish，which sounds like “surplus(节余)”．

A．Christmas B．New Year's Day C．Pongal D．Easter

Hawaiian(夏威夷的)culture was once rich in colorful traditions.Though some of them have been forgotten，two important traditions are still alive today.One of these is the “lei” and the other is the “hula”．
In the local story，leis were first given to Hawaiians by the goddess of kindness and protection.She traveled to all the islands and destroyed the harmful spirits(幽灵)．Leis were worn by Hawaiian leaders in activities for peace.Leis are still important to the Hawaiian people and still mean peace and friendship.Hawaiians wear leis at weddings，funerals and other important ceremonies.A Hawaiian host will always give a lei to non Hawaiian visitors.When the guest arrives，a lei is placed around his or her neck，with the traditional greeting，“Aloha”．
Leis are created from the many kinds of fresh flowers which are found on the islands.The flowers are tied together to form a large circle.Many flowers are needed to make a colorful lei.Because the flowers must be fresh，the leis can't be made in advance．In Hawaii，you can find women selling leis in every shopping center and at the airports.Each island has its own lei，with a different kind of flower.
Leis are often worn by Hawaiians when they dance the hula.The Hawaiians said the goddess Laka taught the people how to dance the hula.At first it was danced only by the men.But later，women began to dance the hula，too.Now it is danced mostly by women.
Many Hawaiians have learned how to dance the hula.But the best hula dancers have taken classes for years and worked hard to learn the special movements.It is not easy to do the hula，though it may seem so simple when done well.The hula dancer must learn to control every part of his or her body，even face.Then，they use their hands，hips(臀部)and feet to tell a story.
Music which is played on Hawaiian instruments goes with the dancing.These instruments are made of bamboo，wood and gourds(葫芦)．The musicians also sing softly with the music.The music，singing and dancing together form a Hawaiian style opera.
When Europeans came to Hawaii in the early 1800s，they did not like the hula.Therefore，they didn't allow people to dance the hula，and it almost disappeared from Hawaii.However，in the late 1800s，King Kalakaua formed a special dance group and saved this important tradition.
( C )34.Leis are important to Hawaiians because they mean ______.
A．love and luck
B．love and friendship
C．peace and friendship
D．peace and luck
( D )35.The underlined words “in advance” in Paragraph 3 mean “______”．

I am still not sure how I made the decision，but last year I agreed to have a New Year's Eve party.It took me days to prepare.Then there were the lists to be made and shopping to be done in the crowded supermarket.After shopping，I really wanted to have a rest，but I hurried to make food in the kitchen.
The night before the party，my husband helped me set up tables.I felt pleased.On the morning of that day，I woke to the sun shining.Everything was ready.
At 4：00 p．m., my husband was working in his company and would be home in an hour.At 5：00 p．m., I sent a message to him and asked，“Are you on your way？Everyone will be here in an hour.” He replied，“I'm really busy now.Sorry.” At 5：45 p．m.，I sent a message to him again.He answered，“Sorry，I'm still tied up.” I was worried whether I'd hold the party alone.I kept sending messages to ask him as guests arrived.
I felt worried and unsure of how to hold the party.By 7：30 p．m.，we were hungry，so we all sat for dinner，with one empty chair beside me.My husband promised he would be home before dinner was done.
At 9：30 p．m.，my husband called，“Honey，I never imagined this could have happened.Things are crazy here.Some people made mistakes in the number of our products(产品)．Now we have to count them all again.”
I realized that the night was hard for my husband.“Will you forgive(原谅)me？” he asked again.“Yes，” I took a breath.“I'm sorry for being impatient.Take your time.Happy New Year.” My husband said，“Thank you！Happy New Year！”
( A )38.Why did the writer keep sending messages to her husband

Around the world，people have different traditional foods to celebrate different festivals.Traditional foods also show a new year of good luck and good health.
An English Christmas dinner has a meal of turkey，and it also includes pies and plum puddings.In Germany，Christmas is celebrated with bread，cookies and cakes，which are made like Christmas trees.In France，Christmas dessert is a cake filled with butter cream.
In southern parts of India，there is a three day festival in mid January called Pongal.It includes rice and a dish of rice cooked with sugar that is shared with families and friends.
Japan celebrates New Year with a seven day festival.It begins from January 1st.Food is prepared before the festival，so people don't need to cook during the festival.On New Year's Day，various dishes called Osechi Ryori(御节料理)are served—each dish is a wish for the New Year.
In most Asian countries，the New Year begins with the first full moon of the first Chinese lunar month.Each place has its special food to welcome the coming year.People in China prepare their food ahead of time to avoid the possibility that using a knife during New Year's time might “cut luck”．Foods with lucky names are popular，such as fish，which sounds like “surplus(节余)”．
