Qu was a minister of the State of Chu in present-day Hunan and Hubei Provinces, during the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). He brought peace and wealth (财富) to the state. However, a dishonest prince vilified Qu. Realizing that the country was now in the hands of bad people, Qu jumped into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth month. Nearby villagers rushed over to try to save him but were unable to even find his body. After that, people got to the river by boat and threw rice into the water, hoping that the fish ate the rice instead of Qu Yuan’s body every year on the fifth day of the fifth month.

Mooncake Fillings Can Sometimes Leave Me Guessing Life is like a box of mooncakes. You never know what you’re going to get. A big mystery(奥秘) in Chinese life comes in a plastic case. The mooncake is one of the best desserts I have ever tasted, but buying it is a never-ending surprise or disappointment(失望). ▲ Mooncakes in China are bigger, thicker and tastier than the dessert in my country. They are round and filled with different kinds of fillings. Red bean and nuts are the most common, but there are more elaborate(精心制作的) fillings I am just discovering every year: green tea, meat, salted egg, cream cheese, duck and so on. I have read about an ice-cream mooncake. I’ve never tried it but I wonder where to find it. My question is simple: How do you know what’s inside? For one who has gotten tired of good old red bean filling, it would be nice to taste the others. I like nuts and salted egg in my mooncake. But when I ask the store clerk what’s inside, I’m usually met with a blank look. I wish there was a smarter way to tell Chinese mooncakes without tasting it one by one. How about a photo of split-open mooncakes at every store? The buyer can always point the photos to the store clerk. An English translation of the chart would be helpful but not necessary. 9．Which of the following fillings in a mooncake is NOT mentioned in the passage? A． B． C． D． 10．Which sentence do you think can be filled in ▲ ? A．Sometimes they’re too expensive. B．It always reminds me of my life in China. C．You never know what kind of fillings you will get!

A．The writer is a foreigner. B．The writer doesn’t like red beans. C．The writer has tasted the ice-cream mooncake before. D．The writer can’t tell what’s inside the mooncakes at all. 13．Why does the writer write the passage? A．To introduce a Chinese food—mooncake. B．To teach people how to buy the right mooncakes. C．To explain why mooncakes have different kinds of fillings. D．To call on a smart way to know the fillings in mooncakes. 【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报·试题原创】 Celebrating the light in a festival of generosity 在慷慨的节日中庆祝光明 December is a month of celebration. But it doesn’t just have Christmas. Jewish people have Hanukkah, which is celebrated in late November or early December. The exact date is determined by the Hebrew calendar. This year, the festival took place from December 12 to 19. Hanukkah is also known as the Festival of Light. Menorah, a special candleholder, is a symbol associated with the celebration of Hanukkah. Candles are lit after sundown on each of the eight nights of the festival. Children love Hanukkah best because each day of the festival they are given gifts. Money is also given to children. Parents usually only give just a few coins, but grandparents or other relatives may give larger sums. Children also have lots of games to play. The most popular one is called dreidel. A dreidel is a small spinning top with four sides. Each player starts with 10 pieces of food (for example, chocolate). Each person puts one piece in a pot. Then they take it in turns to spin a dreidel. Depending on what side the dreidel lands, players either add to the pot or take half or the whole pot for themselves.

Realizing that the country was now in the hands of bad people, Qu jumped into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth month.”可知，是一个不诚实的王子的某种行为使屈原认为整个国家都在坏人手中，从而导致了屈原之死，结合选项可知，应是屈原遭到了陷害，所以选择了自杀，划线单词表示“陷害”。故选A。 7．段落大意题。通读第三段结合“After that, people got to the river by boat and threw rice into the water, hoping that the fish ate the rice instead of Qu Yuan’s body every year on the fifth day of the fifth month. ”可知，本段主要介绍了端午节的由来。故选B。 8．细节理解题。根据“People do these to remember the death of Qu Yuan, an honest minister who is said to drown (淹死) himself in a river.”人们做这些是为了纪念屈原之死，一个诚实的大臣，据说他投河自尽，可知，屈原是个诚实的人。故选C。 Mooncake Fillings Can Sometimes Leave Me Guessing Life is like a box of mooncakes.

I have read about an ice-cream mooncake. I’ve never tried it but I wonder where to find it.”可知文中提到了红豆、绿茶、咸蛋馅的月饼，未提到菠萝馅的月饼。故选D。 10．推理判断题。根据“I have ever tasted, but buying it is a never-ending surprise or disappointment.”可知买月饼可能是惊喜也可能是失望，结合下文“My question is simple: How do you know what’s inside?”可知此处要填“你永远不知道你会得到什么样的馅料！”。故选C。 11．词义猜测题。根据“I like nuts and salted egg in my mooncake.
