Ⅲ.阅读理解

(2018·齐鲁名校教科研协作体调研联考)They are one of the best rugby teams in the world. The players of the All Blacks, New Zealand's national rugby team, are strong, smart and fast. But, in fact, they win many of their games before the first whistle even blows.

Before the game, during warm－ups, the All Blacks players gather in a semi－circle. They stand with their captain in front of them and begin to dance. They hit their arms against their legs. They lift their feet into the air and slam them into the ground. They stick out their tongues and show the whites of their eyes. They shout ancient words and even scream. You may think they're crazy. And that is just what they want you to think.

The rugby players perform the haka, which is a traditional Maori (毛利人的) dance. The Maoris are the native people of New Zealand and this dance has been used as a war dance since the 19th century.

Warriors originally performed the war dance before battles to show off their strength in order to intimidate the enemy. Rugby is a violent game that many fans have compared to war. What better way is there to get excited before the game than doing a war dance?

The 19th century French theorist Ernest Renan, one of the first real theorists who looked into the idea of nationalism, described the “nation” as a “large－scale togetherness, made up of the feeling of sacrifices that one has made in the past and of those that one is prepared to make in the future.”

And New Zealand's haka is one of the world's most perfect acts of nationalism. “The haka, in its intensity, reflects it all: First, the solidarity (团结) of warriors—beth of Maoris and non－Maoris

backgrounds—fighting for a common future. And then a recognition of the almost sacred past，” The Washington Post noted.

Today in New Zealand, the haka is still performed at many different gatherings and celebrations, a connection to Maori ancestors that has continued despite colonization.

语篇解读：世界上最强的橄榄球队之一——新西兰橄榄球队全黑队在每次比赛之前都会跳一段传统的哈卡舞来鼓舞队员的士气，这种舞蹈不论在过去还是在现在都是民族主义最好的体现。

1．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Maori people, native New Zealanders. B．The popularity of rugby in New Zealand. C．A traditional dance goes on today in New Zealand.

D．The magic of warm－ups before rugby matches in New Zealand. [解析] 主旨大意题。本文主要围绕新西兰全黑队在比赛开始前用毛利人的传统舞蹈哈卡舞热身展开。C项意为“新西兰一种传统的舞蹈沿用至今”，与文章大意符合，故选C项。

[答案] C

2．The underlined word “intimidate” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “__________”．

A．threaten C．amaze

B．dissatisfy D．revenge

[解析] 词义猜测题。threaten意为“威胁”；dissatisfy“使不满意”；amaze意为“使吃惊”；revenge意为“报仇”。古代毛利士兵会在战争前用哈卡舞来展示他们的力量，由此可以推断出他们的目的是震慑敌人。故选A项。

[答案] A
