During the Spring Festival, the zodiac becomes an indispensable theme in celebratory activities. People predict their fortunes for the year based on their zodiac signs and exchange gifts with zodiac elements to convey blessings and good luck.

How the cat replaced the rabbit in Vietnam is still the subject of debate (争论). Both countries follow a calendar based on 12 signs of a zodiac (生肖) represented by 12 animals. No one knows exactly how the 12 animals came to be named. But ancient storytellers said the Jade Emperor, or the Buddha, organized a race across a river for all the animals in the world. The first 12 to reach the other side would appear in the zodiac. In the Chinese version of the story, the cat and the rat were riding across a river on an ox when the rat pushed the cat into the water. The rat won the race, turning the two animals into enemies. That is why cats have been hunting rats ever since. As to the rabbit, it crossed the river by jumping on the tops of stones in the river. When the rabbit got there, no others were around, so it went off to the side and slept. By the time the rabbit woke up, three others had already arrived. However, in the Vietnamese version which did not have a rabbit, the cat could swim and ended up arriving fourth. The top twelve finishers which appear in the zodiac were rat, ox, tiger, cat (or rabbit), dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. Philippe Papin is an expert on Vietnamese history at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes in Paris. He told the Northwest Asian Weekly in 2011 that one possible explanation for replacing rabbit with cat might have to do with language. He said in old Chinese, there is a little-used word tied to the sign of the rabbit (卯) that is pronounced like mao. The pronunciation is similar to mèo, the Vietnamese word for cat. This year, another website, VNExpress, said many Vietnamese are buying new cat-themed cases for their mobile phones. And one of the top Google searches in Vietnam is “why there is no cat in the Chinese zodiac.” 1．The race of animals is mentioned to explore ________. A．the reason for the victory of the cat B．how the 12 animals were selected in China C．how the rabbit got replaced by the cat in China’s zodiac D．the reasons behind the difference between the two zodiacs 2．What does “three others” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．The rat, the ox and the horse. B．The tiger, the cat and the ox. C．The rat, the ox and the tiger. D．The cat, the rat and the snake 3．What caused the rabbit to be replaced according to Papin? A．The race organized by the Jade Emperor. B．The different customs of the two countries C．The excellent performance of the Vietnamese cat D．The similar pronunciation of certain words in the two languages 4．What does the last paragraph imply? A．The Year of the cat or the rabbit raises public interest in Vietnam. B．Google plays an increasingly important role in Vietnam. C．Rabbit-themed cases for mobile phones become a hit in China. D．Cat-themed cases for mobile phones enjoy popularity in China.

But ancient storytellers said the Jade Emperor, or the Buddha, organized a race across a river for all the animals in the world. The first 12 to reach the other side would appear in the zodiac.(没有人确切知道这12种动物是如何被命名的。但古代的故事讲述者说，玉皇大帝或佛陀组织了一场世界上所有动物的过河比赛。最先到达另一边的12个将出现在黄道十二宫)”、第三段中“In the Chinese version of the story, the cat and the rat were riding across a river on an ox when the rat pushed the cat into the water.(在这个故事的中国版本中，猫和老鼠骑着牛过河，老鼠把猫推到了水里)”和第四段中“However, in the Vietnamese version which did not have a rabbit, the cat could swim and ended up arriving fourth.(然而，在没有兔子的越南版本中，猫会游泳，最终获得第四名)”可推知，文中用动物过河的比赛来探究两个国家生肖不一样的原因。故选D项。 2．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“By the time the rabbit woke up, three others had already arrived.(当兔子醒来的时候，另外三种动物已经到了)”和第四段中“The top twelve finishers which appear in the zodiac were rat, ox, tiger, cat (or rabbit), dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig.(十二生肖中排名前十二的是鼠、牛、虎、猫(或兔)、龙、蛇、马、羊、猴、鸡、狗和猪。)”可推知，句中“three others”是指排在猫（兔）前面的鼠、牛和虎。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“He said in old Chinese, there is a little-used word tied to the sign of the rabbit (卯) that is pronounced like mao. The pronunciation is similar to mèo, the Vietnamese word for cat.(他说，在古汉语中，有一个很少使用的词与兔子的宫 (卯) 有关，它发音像“mao”。其发音类似于越南语中表示猫的单词“mèo”)”可知，Papin认为两种语言中某些词的发音相似导致在越南生肖中兔子被猫替换。故选D项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And one of the top Google searches in Vietnam is “why there is no cat in the Chinese zodiac.”(越南最热门的谷歌搜索之一是“为什么中国十二生肖里没有猫”)”可推知，在越南，猫年或兔年引起了公众的兴趣。故选A项。 5．C 6．D 7．A 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了中国的十二生肖系统，并说明了每个生肖所代表的年份。 5．细节理解题。根据列出的十二生肖可知，猫不在中国十二生肖中。故选C项 6．推理判断题。根据 Rat下的“1996, 2008, 2020”可知，1996年是鼠年，所以推知1995应是猪年。故选D项。 7．推理判断题。一个9年级的学生，年龄应是在16岁左后，根据 Rat下的“1996, 2008, 2020”可知，2023年上9年级的话，应是2008年出生，符合实际。故选A项。 话题语法填空 8．energetic 9．be seen 10．With 11．to get 12．but 13．Basically 14．a 15．involving 16．audiences 17．what 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了属马的人的一些基本特质——热情、开朗、幽默、容易相处。 8．考查形容词。句意：马年出生的人非常活泼、活跃、精力充沛。作表语，应用形容词energetic。故填energetic。 9．考查动词的语态。句意：马喜欢待在群体中，它们通常出现在音乐会、剧院、会议、体育活动和派对等场合。they是动词see的逻辑宾语，当宾语提前作主语时，动词应用被动语态。因此，空处应用被动语态形式；情态动词后面应接be动词原形。故填be seen。 10．考查介词。句意：有幽默感的马是健谈的大师，和它们相处很舒服，因为它们有一种能让人立刻放松下来的能力。本句考查with构成的介词短语作原因状语，且空处位于句首，首字母应大写。故填With。 11．考查非谓语动词。句意：有幽默感的马是健谈的大师，和它们相处很舒服，因为它们有一种能让人立刻放松下来的能力。短语be comfortable to do sth.表示“做某事很舒服”。故填to get。 12．考查连词。句意：有时候，马有点以自我为中心，但这并不意味着除了自己的问题之外，他不会对任何问题感兴趣。根据空后it doesn't mean及句意可知，此处应用表示转折关系的并列连词。故填but。 13．考查副词。句意：基本上，属马的人都很健康，很可能是因为他们对生活持积极的态度。修饰后文句子应用副词basically，且空处位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Basically。 14．考查冠词。句意：基本上，属马的人都很健康，很可能是因为他们对生活持积极的态度。attitude为可数名词，表泛指；空后的positive的发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。 15．考查非谓语动词。句意：与人交流的工作最吸引属马的人。主语job与involve之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，因此，应用现在分词形式作后置定语。故填involving。 16．考查名词。句意：他们喜欢站在舞台中央，总是让各地的观众高兴。audience观众，为可数名词；根据语境可知，此处强调里面所有的成员，故用复数形式。故填audiences。 17．考查连词。句意：你还没来得及说完话，他们就已经在你身边了。引导宾语从句，且在从句中作宾语，表示“所说的事情”，用连接代词what。故填what。 18．called 19．traditionally 20．to 21．which 22．is based 23．standing 24．a 25．its 26．means 27．to buy 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了12生肖的相关信息。 18．考查非谓语动词。句意：周六，一场名为“巅峰生命与水”的生肖雕塑展在中国西南部四川省成都市开幕。空处为非谓语动词，An exhibition of zodiac (生肖)sculptures与call在逻辑上是被动关系，应用过去分词，作后置定语。故填called。 19．考查副词。句意：在中国传统文化中，十二生肖是用来标志每一年的。此处修饰动词used，应用副词traditionally，作状语。故填traditionally。 20．考查介词。句意：除了传统的历法功能外，十二生肖也是一种民俗和文化，它反映了中国人对年的理解。固定短语in addition to“除了”，to是介词。故填to。 21．考查定语从句。句意：除了传统的历法功能外，十二生肖也是一种民俗和文化，它反映了中国人对年的理解。此处是非限定性定语从句，关系词指代前面的整个句子，作定语从句的主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。 22．考查动词时态及主谓一致。句意：每个雕塑都是基于一个生肖动物。固定短语be based on“以……为基础”，句子陈述事实，应用一般现在时，主语是单数，be动词使用is。故填is based。 23．考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，站在牛头上的金色小鸟让游客想起栖息在牛身上的鸟儿，咀嚼着它们刚刚捕获的虫子。空处为非谓语动词，the tiny golden birds与stand在逻辑上是主动关系，应用现在分词，作后置定语。故填standing。 24．考查冠词。句意：在另一幅画中，一只猴子在头上顶着一个金桃。此处泛指“一个金桃”，且golden以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。故填a。 25．考查代词。句意：只有蛇是睁着眼睛的。此处修饰名词eyes，应用形容词性物主代词its。故填its。 26．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：如果你看到蛇的眼睛是闭着的，那就意味着它在冬眠。句子陈述事实，应用一般现在时，主语为that，谓语为单数形式。故填means。 27．考查非谓语动词。句意：优雅精致的造型让参观者非常高兴，甚至在展览开幕式之前，一些收藏家就表达了购买这些雕塑的愿望。desire后常用动词不定式，作后置定语。故填to buy。 28．a 29．which 30．on 31．was sponsored 32．founded 33．interaction 34．featuring 35．to attend 36．particularly 37．global 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了一场名为“十二生肖共生”的艺术展览在巴拿马托库门国际机场开幕。 28．考查冠词。句意：来自中国的巴拿马艺术家、北京师范大学的艺术博士Sally Huang展示了十三幅画，这些画结合了中国传统绘画的写意笔触和拉丁美洲的美丽色彩，并展示了十二生肖。可数名词artist在句中表示“一位艺术家”，泛指，空格后单词Chinese发音以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。 29．考查定语从句。句意：来自中国的巴拿马艺术家、北京师范大学的艺术博士Sally Huang展示了十三幅画，这些画结合了中国传统绘画的写意笔触和拉丁美洲的美丽色彩，并展示了十二生肖。分析句子可知，空格处单词引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词paintings，指物，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。 30．考查介词。句意：此外，还展出了一些生肖动物的雕塑，这些雕塑是由毕业于中央美术学院的中国艺术家张勇创作的。on display是固定短语，意为“展览，公开展出”。故填on。 31．考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：该展览是今年由北京文化艺术基金会赞助的“画我们的运河”项目的一部分。分析句子可知，sponsor(赞助)是定语从句中谓语动词，与主语which(即先行词the project Painting Our Canals)之间是被动关系，结合语境可知，讲述过去的事情应使用一般过去时态，又因主语是单数名词，所以谓语动词也应使用单数形式。综上，谓语应用一般过去时的被动语态，单数形式。故填was sponsored。 32．考查非谓语动词。句意：北京市文化艺术基金是由北京市文化和旅游局设立的公益性基金，在舞台艺术、文化交流与互动、艺术人才培养三大领域提供支持。分析句子可知，“(found) by the Beijing Bureau of Culture and Tourism”作后置定语，found(设立)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语a nonprofit fund之间是被动关系，应用过去分词表被动。故填founded。 33．考查名词。句意：北京市文化艺术基金是由北京市文化和旅游局设立的公益性基金，在舞台艺术、文化交流与互动、艺术人才培养三大领域提供支持。提示词作介词宾语，与名词exchange是并列关系，用不可数名词interaction。故填interaction。 34．考查非谓语动词。句意：申请该项目的牵头机构是北京师范大学，该大学举办了一系列以中国和巴拿马运河文化为主题的活动，还邀请两国艺术家参加展览，并举办学术论坛。“(feature) a series of events themed on the canal culture in both China and Panama”作后置定语，feature(在……起重要作用)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语Beijing Normal University之间是主动关系，应用现在分词表主动。故填featuring。 35．考查非谓语动词。句意：申请该项目的牵头机构是北京师范大学，该大学举办了一系列以中国和巴拿马运河文化为主题的活动，还邀请两国艺术家参加展览，并举办学术论坛。invite sb. to do...是固定搭配，用不定式作宾语补足语。故填to attend。 36．考查副词。句意：大使在致辞中特别向艺术家们表示祝贺，同时强调中巴两国应共同努力，促进世界和平与发展。提示词修饰动词expressed，用副词particularly作状语，意为“特别”。故填particularly。 37．考查形容词。句意：大使在致辞中特别向艺术家们表示祝贺，同时强调中巴两国应共同努力，促进世界和平与发展。提示词修饰名词peace，用形容词global作定语，意为“全球的，全世界的”。故填global。 话题作文 38．Dear Jim,     I’m glad to know that you’re interested in Chinese culture, especially 12 Chinese zodiac signs.
