1、2021年4月浙大附中高一下期中考试第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分)第一节（共10个小题；每小题3分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从题中所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AIn our daily lives, we probably make silly mistakes. While these moments can be worrying, they can also be handled with humor. When we share a laugh at our mistakes, we can calm ourselves down
2、with a thread of understanding and acceptance.When one morning in a rush to school, I spilled (泼洒)my cup of orange juice. I immediately thought of the precious minutes I would have to spend in cleaning up the floor. I raced back and forth to the sink(洗碗槽)with a kitchen cloth soaked (浸透)with juice to
3、 wash off. My legs were shaking as I watched from my window the school bus coming to my street. Within a minute, I had thrown the orange juice-soaked cloth to the sink and ran outside to join the group of kids in entering the bus. When thinking about my morning rush to clean up the spilled juice on
4、the bus, I realized how much unnecessary stress and worry I put myself through. I ended up smiling to myself about my minor nervousness over spilled juice. These days I dont usually spill orange juice, but I do sometimes spill a bit of spaghetti sauce on my pant or put on my sweater backwards when I
5、m really tired and in a hurry for school. In each of my mistakes, I try to remind myself not to take myself so seriously. It takes me a minute to calm down, take a deep breath and smile at my carelessness. It is the ability to see mistakes in a different way that enables me to find humor in everyday
6、 moments. Humor, however, doesnt always have to arise from silly mistakes. Kids may have a good laugh at comic books, classic jokes and stories told by friends and parents. What matters more is not where you find the humor in life, but that you can appreciate it.21. When we make mistakes in our dail

9、stoms are completely different from those of Asian cultures. Some are so rooted in history that many Westerners have no idea whether they even exist.Traditionally, June has been the most popular month for people to get married. One reason is that June 1 was the date of an ancient Roman festival cele
10、brating the marriage of the god Jupiter and his wife Juno. Another reason will likely astonish you. Centuries ago, taking a bath was not as common as it is today. Some people took a bath only once a year, typically in May. Since June was a time most wedding guests would not be too smelly, that month
11、 was preferred. Another wedding custom is for the bride to “wear something new, something borrowed and something blue.” Having something old is said to protect the newlywed future baby, while the new item shows optimism for the future. Meanwhile, something borrowed is meant to bring good luck, and s
12、omething blue is promise of being faithful. Lesser known is the fact that the bride is also supposed to have a sixpence in her shoe for prosperity(兴旺)，Interestingly, in Sweden, brides are given two coins before getting married-one gold from her mother and the other silver from her father-also to put
13、 in her shoes. These fascinating customs show just how important certain wedding traditions are in Western cultures. The concept of the “white wedding”, in which the bride wears a white wedding dress, is a familiar one. It is thought, mistakenly though, that this is a tradition that developed in anc
14、ient times and originates from the belief of white being a symbol of purity. Actually, the custom of brides wearing this color dates back less than 200 years and is attributed to the wedding of Queen Victoria. The queens choice of white for her wedding was unusual for the time as other colors, espec
15、ially red, were much more common.After news of Victorias highly publicized wedding to Prince Albert spread, not just around the United Kingdom, but to other nations including the United States, women began following in her footsteps and wearing white dresses at their wedding ceremonies. With white b
16、eing the choice of a powerful royal figure like Queen Victoria, the color became associated with wealth, nobility, and the fashion-conscious. 24.

22、 a hopeful future for a deeply divided country. We will not march back to what was, but move to what shall be. A country that is bruised(瘀紫的)but whole, benevolent but bold, fierce and free.Her reading-and the ceremony as a whole-took place exactly two weeks after a violent mob of supporters of then-
23、President Donald Trump attacked and occupied the U.S. Capito Building.Gorman says she had completed a little more than half of “The Hill He Climb” before the January 6 attack at the Capitol. “That day gave me a second wave of energy to finish the poem,” said Gorman. She chose not to make direct note
24、 of the attack, but her references to the event were clear: “Weve seen a force that would shatter our nation rather than share it.”Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy(民主).And this effort very nearly succeeded.But while democracy can be periodically delayed, it can never be perma
