(重庆2021学年高三下学期新高考第二次模拟测试)Life began in Hawaii in 1985 for musical celebrity Bruno Mars. His dad, Pete, was a percussionist(打击乐手) and his mom, Bernadette, was a singer and dancer, so it seemed natural that Bruno would one day become a musician. At age 4, Bruno officially joined in a show, and audiences adored him. That early introduction to show business helped him develop confidence. He says, “Performing from such a young age just got me so comfortable on stage. Growing up performing—that was normal for me. ”

After graduating from high school, Bruno decided to move to Los Angeles to pursue a music career. It wasn’t easy, though. He was used to performing regularly as a musician in Honolulu, Hawaii. But LA’s competitive atmosphere was nothing like that in Hawaii. “It’s not like in movies, where you walk into a record company and you’re given all these great songs. You have to write what the world is going to want to hear. I learned the hard way here in LA，” Bruno said.

Though the enticement to give up was great, he never did. Bruno found that he could make money and become established by writing songs for famous singers. In 2010 Bruno caught a lucky break when he was asked to record one of his songs. It rocketed to the top of the charts. That same year he released his first original solo single, Just the Way You Are, which also hit number one. The song’s success brought Bruno instant fame and star status.

(原创)As is known to all, St. Patrick’s Day is on Thursday, but some Americans started celebrating two weeks ago. The city of Alexandria, Virginia, held its annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade on March 5．So did three cities in New Jersey.

The holiday is a big deal in America and not only for the 33．1 million Americans who claim Irish ancestry(祖先). Many non­Irish Americans will join Irish friends in wearing green clothes on Thursday. Many will lift a mug of Guinness, the famous Irish beer.

The holiday honours Saint Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Patrick lived in the fifth century. He was taken by pirates and kept as a slave in Ireland. After he escaped, he trained as a priest before returning to Ireland. Diarmuid Ó Giolláin is a professor of Irish Language and Literature at Notre Dame University in Indiana. He said that St. Patrick’s Day appeals to many nationalities because it is linked to immigrants(移民), or outsiders.

“The Irish came in large numbers, and were Catholics seen as outside the majority Protestant population，” Ó Giolláin said. “I think they found this space of parading their ethnicity(种族) and their identity, and this probably made the holiday attractive to all immigrants，” he said.

Many Americans will observe St. Patrick’s Day with big parades. The largest is in New York City on Thursday, where crowds in the millions are not unusual.

And don’t forget about Ireland. The capital city of Dublin will also have a big parade on Thursday. The theme is, “Imagine If…”. Parade officials say it centers on the imagination of Ireland’s youth as they look to the next 100 years.

8．What will people do on St. Patrick’s Day?

A．In honour of ancestors.  B．Have two weeks off.

C．Wear clothes of various colours.  D．Drink Irish beer.

9．What do we know about Saint Patrick?

A．He once led a hard life.  B．He escaped from America.

C．He led a happy life.  D．He saved many Irish people.

10．Why is St. Patrick’s Day attractive to immigrants?

A．Because the holiday honours Saint Patrick.

B．Because they will hold great parades during the holiday.

C．Because many Western countries celebrate the holiday.

D．Because it’s an opportunity to show their ethnicity and identity.

11．Which column is the text mainly taken from?

A．Technology Report.  B．The Making of a Nation.

C．Culture and History.  D．Health and Education News.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了有关圣帕特里克节历史及其庆祝方式。

8．D　细节理解题。根据文章第二自然段的尾句“Many will lift a mug of Guinness, the famous Irish beer. ”可知，许多人在这一天会举起一杯爱尔兰著名的吉尼斯啤酒。根据文中的“Many non­Irish Americans will join Irish friends in wearing green clothes on Thursday. ”可知C项错误；A项“纪念祖先们”和B项“休假两周”与原文不符。故选D项。

9．A　推理判断题。根据文章第三段的“Patrick lived in the 5th century. He was taken by pirates and kept as a slave in Ireland. After he escaped, he trained as a priest before returning to Ireland. ”可知，帕特里克生活在五世纪。他被海盗劫持，当作奴隶。逃跑后，他接受了牧师的训练，然后回到了爱尔兰。故选A项。

10．D　推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“I think they found this space of parading their ethnicity(种族) and their identity, and this probably made the holiday attractive to all immigrants…”可知，圣帕特里克节给众多的移民提供了展示自己种族和身份的机会与空间。故选D项。
