1．推理判断题。根据"Engineers use various materials called mediums to control how sound travels. In this experiment, you will use the medium string!"可知，工程师们使用各种称为介质的材料来控制声音的传播方式，这个实验将用绳子来做介质，由此可知制作杯子电话的实验是为了展示声音如何通过绳子传播。故选B。

2．推理判断题。根据"Use a thumbtack to make a hole in the bottom of each cup. Thread the string through the holes in the cupsand tie a paper clip to each end of the string... With the help of a friend, pull the string tight so the paper clips are pulled to the bottom of the cups."可知，制作杯子电话需要用图钉在每个杯子的底部打一个洞；把绳子穿过杯子上的孔，在绳子的两端各系一个回形针；在朋友的帮助下，把绳子拉紧，这样回形针就被拉到杯子底部，一共有三步。故选B。

3．细节理解题。根据"Use a thumbtack to make a hole in the bottom of each cup."可知，图钉是用来在杯子的底部打孔的。故选A。

4．推理判断题。根据"This also works when more than two cups are connected. Make another set of cups, and loop the stringstogether to make a set of cup phones for four people."可知，四个人用四个杯子做这个实验也是可以的。故选C。

Many traditional Chinese festivals remind us of the special foods. As zongzi are to Dragon Boat Festival and mooncakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival, yuanxiao—sweet dumplings made of sticky rice flour—are special to Lantern Festival.

Lantern Festival usually falls on the 15th of the first lunar month, marking the end of the Spring Festival

celebrations. Apart from the round-shaped yuanxiao, another beloved part of the celebration is the lanterns, which come in almost every possible size and shape.

"Guessing lantern riddles(谜语)" is an essential(必不可少的) part of the festival. Lantern owners write riddles on a piece of paper and post them on the lanterns. If visitors have answers to the riddles, they can pull the paper out and go to the lantern owners to check their answers. If they are right, they will get a little gift. The activity emerged(出现) during people's enjoyment of lanterns in the Song Dynasty(960–1279). As riddle guessing was interesting and full of wisdom, it became popular among all social strata(阶层).

Lantern Festival was at its peak in the Tang and Song dynasties. It was a day of great fun at the time. In the evening, people went into the streets with all kinds of lanterns, watching lion or dragon dances, eating yuanxiao and setting off firecrackers.

The festival also provided a chance for unmarried young girls to go out freely in search of their true love, since they weren't normally allowed to do so. The famous poet Ouyang Xiu recorded this romantic tradition with the well-known line:"Atop the willow tree hangs the moon;my date comes in the evening soon."
