The festival is held in the golden season of autumn,at harvest time.The bright clear sky and the joy of bringing in the harvest make for a festival happy atmosphere.Chongyang Festival is usually perfect for outdoor activities.Climbing a mountain,carrying a spray of dogwood(茱萸)and drinking chrysanthemum(菊花)wine have become the traditional activities of the festival. The dogwood is a plant with a strong fragrance(),and is often used as a Chinese herbal medicine.People in ancient times believed it could drive away evil spirits and prevent one from getting a chill()in late autumn.So its history as a medicine goes back many centuries.But the custom of carrying a spray of dogwood during Double Ninth Festival is slowly dying out and many people in the cities do not even know what a dogwood spray looks like. Early in the Han Dynasty,about 2,000 years ago,people used to climb a high platform outside the capital city of Chang an on the occasion of Chongyang Festival.For many,it was the last outing of the year before the onset of winter.The custom evolved()into present form,when people go climbing to get some exercise as well as enjoy the autumn scenery. But what about those people who live in plains far from any mountain?The problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes.The Chinese word for "cake"is "Gao",a homonym(同音异义字)of the Chinese word for"high”.Mountains are high,so eating cakes can,by a stretch of the imagination,take the place of going for a climb. 那车十中20？4年下学期期中考试高二英语试卷第2而#8而 5.Why do people carry a spray of dogwood on Chongyang Festival?

This huge park in the southeastern part of the state covers more than 10 thousand square kilometers of the Alaskan wilderness.It includes mountains,glaciers,fjords(),and even rain forests.Glacier Bay supports hundreds of kinds of animals,including many species of birds,fish,bears,whales and sea lions. As its name suggests,much of Glacier Bay is covered by glaciers.A glacier is a large area of ice that moves slowly down a slope.or valley,or over a wide area of land.Glaciers cover a large area of the park. The glaciers found in the park today are what remain from an ice development known as the Little Ice Age.That period began about 4,000 years ago.During the Little Ice Age,the 邵东七中2024年下学期期中考试高二英语试卷第3页共8页 cold weather caused the ice to grow and develop.That growth continued until the 1700s, when the climate began to warm.The hotter temperatures caused the ice to start melting( ).That melting led the huge glacier to divide into more than 1,000 different glaciers. The extremely tall mountains seen in Glacier Bay were formed by the ice developing and then melting over time.The melting of the ice also created water that filled in and created the many fjords within the park.Fjord are narrow parts of the ocean that sit between cliffs or mountains. Glacier Bay is a popular place for people searching for adventure.Some visitors choose to explore the park by kayak.The small,narrow boats offer visitors a chance to experience the park's many fjords and its hundreds of kilometers of coastline. 9.If you pay a visit to Glacier Bay,you will find A.it almost covers the whole Alaskan wilderness B.the rain forests are rare in such conditions C.there live numbers of kinds of animals D.there are more birds than other species 10.What can we learn from the third paragraph?

C.Water is the source of creating many fjords D.Fjords move as the oceans flow around 12.What is the writer's purpose of writing the passage? A.To make an advertisement for Glacier Bay.
