Wed been warned that the ceremony was a serious occasion and that to laugh or even smile would be considered rude to the Tamaki. After that it was nonstop fun as they demonstrated their ancient customs and I received instruction in performing the haka, the war dance immortalized(使不朽)by the All Blacks rugby team.Then they pulled our dinner of lamb, beef and vegetables out of the ground.It had been slowcooked in the heat just below the surface in the geothermal (地?zé)岬? area of North Island, a Maori tradition known as a hangi that goes back an extremely long period of time.Obviously, this form of it is put on for tourists but it was hugely enjoyable. The journey back to the hotel was alone worth the effort, our elder Maori driver being deserving of his own television show.“The wheels on the bus go round and round，”he got us singing, while he circuited a roundabout three times.A couple of days from the end of our trip, there was still something missing, a New Zealand icon I wanted to see to make my grand tour complete. Riding over a ridge, there it was Aotearoa. The Maori name for New Zealand translates as “the land of the long white cloud”Can I say “Kia ora, Aotearoa？”You bet I can.語篇解讀本文為一篇記敘文，作者講述了他去新西蘭旅游時接觸到的毛利文化。4How were the visitors greeted in the tribe?AThe soldiers made a palm leaf road.BThe soldiers touched their noses.CThe soldiers shook sticks fiercely.DThe soldiers made noise with shut eyes.解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Their soldiers jumped from a canoe and faced us down with fierce crying，sticking eyes and much noise of sticks.They laid a palm leaf on the ground.”可知，毛利部落的勇士們從獨(dú)木舟上跳下來，用狂熱的叫喊、瞪大的眼睛和巨大的棍棒晃動聲將作者一行人鎮(zhèn)住了，他們還在地面上放置一片棕櫚葉。這些都是毛利人對游客表示歡迎的方式。故選C。答案：C5Which refers to the Maori cooking custom?AKia ora.BHaka.CHangi.DTamaki.解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Then they pulled our dinner of lamb，beef and vegetables out of the ground.It had been slowcooked in the heat.a Maori tradition known as a hangi”可知，在地下土爐中烹制食物是毛利飲食傳統(tǒng)，這被稱為hangi。答案：C6What does the author think of the driver?AHe was good at singing.BHe made the journey memorable.CHe was not familiar with the road.DHe performed well on a TV show.解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的“The journey back to the hotel was alone worth the effort，our elder Maori driver being deserving of his own television show.”可知，作者一行人的回賓館之旅讓他們難忘：有表演天賦的毛利老司機(jī)讓作者他們一路歡歌，故選B。答案：B7What is the best title for the text?AA taste of Maori cultureBHello, New ZealandCThe honour of being a tribe chiefDThe best of New Zealand解析：標(biāo)題歸納題。作者作為赴新西蘭的旅游團(tuán)的隊長，在旅游中有幸接觸毛利文化，這給作者留下了深刻的印象，故A項“體驗毛利文化”作標(biāo)題最佳。答案：A.閱讀七選五History is a record of what has happened in the past. 1 The really fascinating thing is that much of history has been repeated time and again.
