Here is a letter to his friend in his hometown. Dear David, How time flies! It’s been 3 months since I came to China. I’m having a great time on my student exchange program here. So far, I’ve completely got used to the life here and have known a lot about traditional Chinese culture. I’d like to share some with you. In China, there are many different kinds of traditional art forms, such as paper cutting, Chinese clay art and so on. Among them, the kite interests me most. The first ancient Chinese kite appeared more than 2,000 years ago. Then flying kites was spread into Japan, Korea and Malaysia during the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Kites are regarded as the earliest craft (飞行器). They played an important role in the process of inventing the plane. Tea culture is important in China. Tea was discovered as a kind of drink by accident about 5,000 years ago. It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. It didn’t appear in England until around 1660. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. Now tea has become one of the most popular drinks around the world. Lastly, I’d like to tell you something about one of the traditional Chinese festivals — the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is on the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar (阴历). Chinese people have been celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries.

The festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month on the lunar calendar. As the Chinese word for “nine” sounds the same as the word for “long”, people take the Double Ninth Festival to show their wishes for long life for elderly people. There are many traditions of this festival. On that day, families get together and climb mountains for luck. They also drink chrysanthemum wine (菊花酒) and wear a plant called Zhuyu to celebrate it. Both chrysanthemum and Zhuyu are regarded as clean plants that can clean houses and cure diseases. Respecting elderly people is shown not only on this special day but also in daily life. For example, when an older person enters a room, it is polite for everyone to stand up. When there are several guests at the table, the host usually introduces them from the oldest to the youngest. It is a traditional virtue in China to respect elderly people. That’s because the Chinese know that elderly people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn from. So, Chinese people are proud of being old. 51．The Double Ninth Festival is celebrated for the elderly people in the world. 52．Because the Chinese word “nine” has the same meaning as “long”, people call this special day “The Double Ninth Festival”. 53．On the Double Ninth Festival, people always climb mountains to plant Zhuyu. 54．Respecting elderly people is an important part of Chinese daily life. 55．The Chinese are proud of being old for the elderly people full of knowledge and experience. 【答案】51．F 52．F 53．F 54．T 55．T 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国的敬老日——九月初九重阳节。 51．细节理解题。根据“The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for elderly people in China.”可知，重阳节是中国老年人的节日，而不是为全世界的老人而设立的。故答案为F。 52．细节理解题。根据“As the Chinese word for ‘nine’ sounds the same as the word for ‘long’, people take the Double Ninth Festival to show their wishes for long life for elderly people.”可知，由于汉语中“九”的发音与“久”的发音相同，因此人们利用重阳节来表达他们对老年人长寿的愿望，而不是把这天叫做“重阳节”。故答案为F。 53．细节理解题。根据“On that day, families get together and climb mountains for luck. They also drink chrysanthemum wine (菊花酒) and wear a plant called Zhuyu to celebrate it.”可知，人们是把茱萸戴在身上，而不是种茱萸。故答案为F。 54．细节理解题。根据“Respecting elderly people is shown not only on this special day but also in daily life.”可知，尊重老年人不仅体现在这个特殊的日子，也体现在日常生活中。说明敬老是日常生活中的重要部分。故答案为T。 55．细节理解题。根据“That’s because the Chinese know that elderly people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn from. So, Chinese people are proud of being old.”可知，中国人以年老为荣，因为老年人有丰富的知识和经验。故答案为T。 Qingming Festival (Tomb Sweeping Day) is a traditional Chinese festival for families to pay respect（尊敬） to their ancestors. People visit their ancestors’ grave sites and offer food, drinks and flowers. The festival falls on April the fourth this year. There are some Chinese poems that offer clues to Chinese history and culture through ancient expressions. Here we look at one of the classic poems in the history of Chinese literature: In China, around the time of Qingming Festival, there is more rain. The poet is traveling far away from home on these rainy days. The rain and lonely walks lead to the separation of the soul and body, which adds a sad mood to this poem.The writer, Du Mu describes a rainy scene in a village in the first two lines. Then in the last two lines, the poet wants to find a place to take a rest, drink some wine（酒） and get rid of the sad mood. Where can I find a good tavern? In the last line, a cowherd points to a direction, which vividly depicts（生动描绘） two people looking far ahead on the rainy day. Mourning DayDrizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day,The mourner's heart is going to break on his way. Where can a wineshop be found to drown his sad hours? A cowherd points to a cot amid apricot flowers. (Translated by Xu Yuanchong, Chinese translator) In this poem, Du Mu presents a village with apricot flowers around as the direction of the tavern. He doesn’t describe its details on a rainy day but leaves it to the readers’ imagination. Qingming is not only a sad festival, but can also be a happy time for people to enjoy the spring and get closer to nature in an outing. Trees are green and flowers are blooming, so it’s a good time to be outside. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 56．The Chinese title of this poem is ________.

Dear David, How time flies! It’s been 3 months since I came to China. I’m having a great time on my student exchange program here. So far, I’ve completely got used to the life here and have known a lot about traditional Chinese culture. I’d like to share some with you. In China, there are many different kinds of traditional art forms, such as paper cutting, Chinese clay art and so on. Among them, the kite interests me most. The first ancient Chinese kite appeared more than 2,000 years ago. Then flying kites was spread into Japan, Korea and Malaysia during the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty. Kites are regarded as the earliest craft (飞行器). They played an important role in the process of inventing the plane. Tea culture is important in China. Tea was discovered as a kind of drink by accident about 5,000 years ago. It is believed that tea was brought to Korea and Japan during the 6th and 7th centuries. It didn’t appear in England until around 1660. The tea trade from China to Western countries took place in the 19th century. Now tea has become one of the most popular drinks around the world. Lastly, I’d like to tell you something about one of the traditional Chinese festivals — the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is on the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar (阴历). Chinese people have been celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival and enjoying mooncakes for centuries. If you’d like to know more about traditional Chinese culture, I will talk about it in the next letter. Best wishes! Yours, John 46．From this passage, where is John from?

A．David came to China three months ago. B．Tea didn’t appear in England until around the 16th century. C．Tea has become one of the most popular drinks only in China.

The festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month on the lunar calendar. As the Chinese word for “nine” sounds the same as the word for “long”, people take the Double Ninth Festival to show their wishes for long life for elderly people. There are many traditions of this festival. On that day, families get together and climb mountains for luck. They also drink chrysanthemum wine (菊花酒) and wear a plant called Zhuyu to celebrate it. Both chrysanthemum and Zhuyu are regarded as clean plants that can clean houses and cure diseases. Respecting elderly people is shown not only on this special day but also in daily life. For example, when an older person enters a room, it is polite for everyone to stand up. When there are several guests at the table, the host usually introduces them from the oldest to the youngest. It is a traditional virtue in China to respect elderly people. That’s because the Chinese know that elderly people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn from. So, Chinese people are proud of being old. 51．The Double Ninth Festival is celebrated for the elderly people in the world. 52．Because the Chinese word “nine” has the same meaning as “long”, people call this special day “The Double Ninth Festival”. 53．On the Double Ninth Festival, people always climb mountains to plant Zhuyu. 54．Respecting elderly people is an important part of Chinese daily life. 55．The Chinese are proud of being old for the elderly people full of knowledge and experience. Qingming Festival (Tomb Sweeping Day) is a traditional Chinese festival for families to pay respect（尊敬） to their ancestors. People visit their ancestors’ grave sites and offer food, drinks and flowers. The festival falls on April the fourth this year. There are some Chinese poems that offer clues to Chinese history and culture through ancient expressions. Here we look at one of the classic poems in the history of Chinese literature: In China, around the time of Qingming Festival, there is more rain. The poet is traveling far away from home on these rainy days. The rain and lonely walks lead to the separation of the soul and body, which adds a sad mood to this poem.The writer, Du Mu describes a rainy scene in a village in the first two lines. Then in the last two lines, the poet wants to find a place to take a rest, drink some wine（酒） and get rid of the sad mood. Where can I find a good tavern? In the last line, a cowherd points to a direction, which vividly depicts（生动描绘） two people looking far ahead on the rainy day. Mourning DayDrizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day,The mourner's heart is going to break on his way. Where can a wineshop be found to drown his sad hours? A cowherd points to a cot amid apricot flowers. (Translated by Xu Yuanchong, Chinese translator) In this poem, Du Mu presents a village with apricot flowers around as the direction of the tavern. He doesn’t describe its details on a rainy day but leaves it to the readers’ imagination. Qingming is not only a sad festival, but can also be a happy time for people to enjoy the spring and get closer to nature in an outing. Trees are green and flowers are blooming, so it’s a good time to be outside. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 56．The Chinese title of this poem is ________.

The Dragon Head Raising Day is one of them. This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar. It stands for the start of spring and farming. This year, the day fell on March 4th. The dragon is important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people always call ourselves the “descendants（传人）of the dragon”. So people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs about dragons. On the day in ancient times, people put ashes（灰）in the kitchen. This was to “lead the dragon into the house”. People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest（收获）in autumn. Also, people eat special foods on that day. The foods are usually named after dragons.
