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 (地热的) 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 plete. 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.语篇解读本文为一篇记叙文，作者讲述了他去新西兰旅游时接触到的毛利文化。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：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“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，毛利部落的勇士们从独木舟上跳下来，用狂热的叫喊、瞪大的眼睛和巨大的棍棒晃动声将作者一行人镇住了，他们还在地面上放置一片棕榈叶。这些都是毛利人对游客表示欢迎的方式。故选C。答案：C5Which refers to the Maori cooking custom?AKia ora.BHaka.CHangi.DTamaki.解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“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，在地下土炉中烹制食物是毛利饮食传统，这被称为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：推理判断题。根据第四段的“The journey back to the hotel was alone worth the effort，our elder Maori driver being deserving of his own television show.”可知，作者一行人的回宾馆之旅让他们难忘：有表演天赋的毛利老司机让作者他们一路欢歌，故选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：标题归纳题。作者作为赴新西兰的旅游团的队长，在旅游中有幸接触毛利文化，这给作者留下了深刻的印象，故A项“体验毛利文化”作标题最佳。答案：A.阅读七选五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.
