【推荐2】The Irish have celebrated St. Patrick’s Day on March 17 every year for over 1,000 years. On this day, Irish families would attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon.

Patrick, born in Roman Britain, was brought to Ireland at the age of 16. He was thought to bring Christianity to its people. During the centuries after Patrick’s death that is believed to be on March 17,461, the story of his life became popular in the Irish culture.

However, the first St. Patrick’s Day parade (游行) took place not in Ireland but in America. Records show that a St. Patrick’s Day parade was held on March 17,1601 in Florida. More than a century later, homesick Irish soldiers serving in the English army marched in New York City on March 17, 1772 to honor the Irish saint (圣人). Interest in the St. Patrick’s Day parades in New York City, Boston and other early American cities grew from there. In 1848, several New York Irish societies decided to unite their parades to form one official New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

Today, the parade is the world’s oldest parade and the largest in the United States. Each year, nearly 3 million people watch the parade, which takes more than five hours. In 2020, the New York City parade was one of the first major city events that were canceled as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic (流行病) and people are still not allowed to attend it this year.

Although North America is home to the largest one, St. Patrick’s Day is also celebrated around the world, including Japan, Singapore and Russia. In 1995, the Irish government began to use interest in St. Patrick’s Day to drive tourism and show Ireland and Irish culture to the rest of the world.

1. What nationality was St. Patrick?
A.Roman.B.Irish.C.English.D.American.
2. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.The meaning of St. Patrick’s Day.
B.The result of the COVID 19 pandemic.
C.The life of St. Patrick.
D.The history of St. Partick’s Day parade in the USA.
3. What does the underlined word “canceled” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Applied for.B.Left alone.C.Stopped.D.Expected.
4. What is the purpose of this text?
A.To show the Irish culture.
B.To remember a famous person.

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。在日本樱花有着非常重要的意义,不仅因为漂亮,还因为它在文学和历史上具有重要性。由于花期短,人们会提前好几个月预测天气,并且举行各种花见进行庆祝。

【推荐3】Known locally as sakura, the cherry blossoms in Japan are popular with both locals and tourists alike. For the Japanese, sakura hold much cultural and historical significance that goes deeper than their obvious beauty.     1     They are seen by many Japanese people as a reminder of the shortness of life, and a good excuse for a party.

Sakura are usually only in full bloom (盛开) for about one week.     2     The flowers are so small and round that when they eventually start to fall, it’s almost like watching snow fall from the skies.

While the cherry blossom season occurs between March and May each year, the specific time varies from region to region. Luckily, the Japanese Meteorological Corporation (JMC,日本气象厅) has done all the work.     3     The predictions aren’t just looking at the weather months in advance; it also depends heavily on temperature patterns. Depending on how the patterns change over time. the JMC will release updated forecasts with the most up-to-date information.

    4     There are a number of celebrations held in honor of the cherry blossoms’ blooming, so you’re likely to find a hanami party wherever you go. What makes up a hanami party, besides sakura viewing, is eating and drinking. Groups of people will set up camp in a park and have a picnic under the trees. Some bring home- cooked meals some make food on the go and others buy pre-prepared food.     5    

A.Many people hold flower-watching parties known as hanami.
B.The pink flowers have inspired poets, artists and soldiers for centuries.
C.Each year it posts forecasts of when the blooming will begin in each region.
D.It’s pretty easy to plan your trip around the blooming sakura.
E.Most people bring beer or other drinks to mark the occasion.
F.Cherry blossom season is one of the high seasons in Japan.
G.If you manage to catch the end of the blooming, you’ll see the beautiful flowers.
