14、ntrys life. They give everyone a break from routine and they form part of the annual life in that country. Sometimes they celebrate a day in a countrys history, commemorate a special person , mark the passing of time or celebrate a religious festival. Many national festivals have been celebrated for
15、 years, but occasionally new ones come along and old ones gradually disappear. This is unlikely to happen to Burns Night or St. Patricks Day, however. The two festivals are celebrated far beyond their native land. The first of these, Burns Night on 25 January, marks the birthday of the Scottish poet
16、 Robert Burns(17591796). It is celebrated by his countrymen and admirers, not only in Scotland but all over the world, from New York to Sydney, from Toronto to Tokyo. On Burns Night the guests eat haggis. Haggis is chopped mutton and other ingredients encased in sheeps gut, which is boiled before be
17、ing served. The haggis is brought into the room to the sound of the bagpipes and the chief guest “addresses“ it reciting Burns poem “Ode to the Haggis“. After eating, the other guests recite more of Burns poems, sing Scottish tunes and drink a lot of whisky. Another widely celebrated festival is St.
18、 Patricks Day(17 March), which celebrates the life of the 5th-century saint, St. Patrick. St. Patrick was Bishop of Ireland, and it is said that he gave Ireland its national symbol when he illustrated his religious teaching with the shamrocka three-leafed clover. But the festival is now more than an
19、ything a celebration of “Irishness“ , whether it takes place in Dublin, Auckland, Melbourne, Montreal or Boston. On St. Patricks Day there are big parades, and people wear shamrocks. In some places people add green colouring to the beer and even to rivers and streams. They go out and have “ a good c

21、rom the unwelcome eyes of strangers. However, what people wear can also convey a message about who they are and their role in society. For example, visit nearly any country in the world and you will notice that young people everywhere are wearing fashionable blue jeans. They wear them not for work,
22、but for social occasions such as parties and concerts. The jeans are somewhat of an index of how these young people view themselves : Im modern and stylish. Im different from the traditional older generation. 1They can convey allegiance to schools and sports teams, advertise places or products, serv
23、e as wearable travel souvenirs, and commemorate important occasions. These messages clearly tell others, This is what I want you to know about me. 2It says that the person wants to impress others with his or her professional status. A fitted jacket and matching trousers constitute a mans suit, while
24、 a fitted jacket and matching skirt constitute a womans suit. A collared shirt and a necktie are integral parts of the mans outfit, while stockings and high-heeled shoes complete the womans. 3Military personnel are easy to identify by their uniforms. The same is true for civil emergency personnel li
25、ke police officers and firefighters. In certain contexts, special clothing is worn to differentiate not only the occupation of people, but also their authority. For example, the chefs tall white hat indicates his job and that hes in charge in the restaurants kitchen. 4 For example, Scotsmen were dis
26、tinctive tartans to show their clan affiliation, just as school uniforms identify children as students at a certain school. （分数：10.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_23.Section C_Chinas first Nobel Prize winner in physiology or medicine, Tu Youyou, celebrated her 86 th birthday by signing an offi

34、 the past two years. Bicycles are nothingexotic to Chinese people. In the 1960s and 1970s, every family dream to own a bicycle, 1considering it a symbol of household wealth. In the 1980s, bicycles became a daily necessity andmost important means of transport for the Chinese. Since the 1990s, bicycle
35、s have lost 2their popularity as cars have gradually dominated Chinas streets. Even today, cars remain the symbols for fortune in society. Currently, bicycle sharing is fueling a cycling renaissance. 3Public bicycle rental systems have been established in many countries, most by the 4government. Cit
36、izens only need to insert coins or swipe a special card to rent a bicycle and then return it to a fixed spot. And Chinas bicycle-sharing market is nothing like that. Equipped with a 5GPS system, “Mobike“ and “ofo“ , Chinas two largest bicycle rental startups, they enable 6people to locate, book, and
37、 unlock a bicycle in their neighbourhood via a smartphone. Cyclerscan drop the bicycle somewhere as long as it doesnt disturb traffic. To some extent, 7Chinas bicycle-sharing industry has provided more convenience to city commuters. 8In 2015, the numbers of shared bicycles in China exceeded every ot
38、her country. Although 9the future of this business model is still unclear, bicycle-sharing is bound to change peoples ways of travel. It embodies Chinas focus on efficiency, high costs and environmental protection. 10（分数：20.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_五、T
