期末专题12 任务型阅读 2023-2024学年 牛津深圳版 九年级英语上册 （文字版 _ 含答案解析） 阅读下面短文，按要求完成题。 The lion dance is part of traditional Chinese culture. People often perform it the night before the Chinese New Year. They also perform it for other happy situations. Of course, the government also calls on young people to work on the traditional Chinese culture in order to pass on this art from generation to generation. There are many different stories about how the lion dance began. One of them is like this: Hundreds of years ago, a monster called Nian came to a village in China. The villagers were afraid. A lion drove Nian away. A year later, Nian came back again, but this time the lion couldn’t help. So the villagers made a “lion” by themselves. Their “lion” danced, jumped, and drove Nian away. For this reason, people began to perform the lion dance before the Spring Festival to drive bad luck away. At the same time, people greet the coming of the new year by performing the lion dance. Now people think the lion dance can bring good luck and success. There are two different kinds of lion dances. In the southern lion dance, the dancers try hard to perform like a real lion. Their “lion” may shake its body. The dance can be funny. The other kind is the northern lion dance. It has more martial (武术) art skills like rolling and jumping. Both kinds are very interesting to watch, but it takes a lot of practice to perform well. However, we believe that young generation must learn the traditional Chinese culture well and pass it on well. We also believe the traditional Chinese culture must have a bright future. 1题完成句子；2—3题简略回答问题；4题找出并写下第三段的主题句；5题将文中画线句子译成汉语。 1．People often perform the lion dance the night before . 2．Who helped the villagers drive Nian away? 3．Why do people perform the lion dance now? 4． 5．
