( )28.which do you think is right about “carnation”?a.it has only two kinds of colors. b.it refers to the special clothes people wear on mothers day or fathers day.c.its a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.d.people can wear carnations only on the second sunday in may.( )29. what do you know from the passage?a.mothers day and fathers day are both in may. b.fewer women worked outside the

world. in brazil, the celebration is supposed to go on from the saturday before mardi gras(四旬斋前的最后一天)to mardi gras day, but in some brazilian cities the celebration can last seven or eight days. just like new orleans, not many important things are decided in brazil from new years day to mardi gras day because everyone is preparing for or celebrating carnival. most brazilian parades have a subject, which could be political and historical. the parades had to have a subject related to brazil until 1996. some cities in brazil do not have a street carnival but they might have an indoor ball. bolivia has carnival parades for children and then more parades for adults. the children dress up in costumes and march in the streets. the adults make traditional dance groups and dance in the streets. but the main part of bolivias carnival is getting wet. almost everyone gets wet from water balloons and water buckets. in oruru, bolivia, their carnival is held in the last ten days of the carnival season. people there participate in crafts and dancing, but their main carnival event is a ceremonial parade that lasts for twenty hours and parades for four kilometers. over 20,000 dancers are involved as well as 10,000 musicians. this parade attracts at least 400,000 people. the carnival in venice, italy is often regarded as the most carefully prepared carnival and lasts the ten days before lent (四旬斋). many events are held in the canals including shows, concerts, dances, and water processions(队列). the official ending to the celebration is the ball held in st. marks square.( )31.

magazines. on the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! this is what you see on valentines day, a day named after valentine who was a priest in the third century rome. when the emperor decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didnt allow marriage. but valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. when his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. while in prison, it is said that valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed “from your valentine”, an expression that is still in use today. valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of historys most romantic characters. nowadays, valentines day is also popular among chinese young people. some students are planning to make valentines cards for parents, teachers and friends. others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. the idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of st. valentine.36. which of the following is not a custom for a boy to do on valentines day? a. to take his girlfriend out to dinner b. to

dhundreds of years ago, native-american tribes lived in mexico. the aztecs built beautiful cities. they had a calendar (历法) and a written language. however, the spanish destroyed the aztecs in l521. for the next 300 years, spain ruled over mexico. thats why mexicans speak spanish. every september l6 the mexican people hold a celebration in mexico city, their countrys capital. it is their independence day. on that date in 1821 they told spain they would no longer be ruled. breaking free from spain caused a war. when it was over, the mexicans had their own government. they made their own laws. today america and mexico are friends, but it wasnt always that way. president james polk wanted america to reach from the atlantic ocean to the pacific ocean. he tried to buy what is now the american southwest from mexico. mexico would not sell. so from l846 to 1848 mexico and america fought a war to ascertain where their borders would be. when the war ended, mexico had lost a lot of land. now the rio grande river forms the border between the two nations. america is on the north side of the river. mexico is on the south side. mexico has mountains and a hot, dry climate. crops can grow on only a small part of the land. still, mexicans grow much of the coffee, oranges, and sugar used in the us. mexicans have influenced building styles in southwestern us and added words such as patio and canton to american english. americans also enjoy eating many mexican foods like burritos, tacos, tortillas, and tamales.第二节 信息匹配题
