浙江杭州市2016高考英语七选五（类）二轮基础演练（4） 【2016模拟题】第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Africa is a very diverse land with many different tribes. One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color. They do this for many reasons. Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group. 36 Let’s look at some different examples of body painting. __37 Among the Masai of East Africa, when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people, they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red. This ceremony takes place every seven to fourteen years, so there is not an exact age for participating in it. The Samburu, also from East Africa, like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive. 38 To show that he has killed a lion, a man will paint his body with a natural white material, making special marks to represent this accomplishment. The Masai men also use this white to show that they are no longer boys and are considered adults. One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa. Once a year, they have a beauty contest for men. 39 Then they add white and black circles and lines. Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth, which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful. 40 . As you travel, enjoy the beautiful and bright colors of Africa. A. Red is the common color in body painting because it often represents health and long life. B. Other marks are used for ceremonies such as weddings and during times of war. C. The ceremony expresses hope for rain. D. The Masai men also have a unique way of showing that they are brave. E. The women then decide which man they like best. F. The men pretend to fight each other. G. The men paint their faces yellow and red. 七选五36—40 BADGE 任务型阅读 Quiet Virtue: The Conscientiou
